STALKED BY A MAFIA
Chapter 19
Jo lifted Scar on his shoulders rushed throu-gh the back running to the bush. The police had come and most guys scattered around the whole place some still shooting about.
He had no time to check on other guys, his mission was to get his friend and boss out of that place.
4 other guys c@m£ his way.. “someone get to the car and start the engine now! ” he shouted as he drew near to the place the vehicles were packed.
“Scar has been hit. I can still feel his heart beat but he’s not doing so good” he informed them.
As soon as he l@yhim in the back seat he put some pressure in his che-st wound.
“wait for others” Jo told the other guys
” and be careful. ”
The driver drove at full speed as they went throu-gh the dark. Jo’s forehead had drops of sweat, one would think it was h0t but the air was cold.

Sila calm down when she had cried and prayed enough. she looked around the house. It felt so empty without Scar around. Her phone vibr@ted and she answered immediately without looking at the Id, hoping it was Scar.
“Hello sister in-law” she heard her sister’s husband greet her in high spirits.
“Hello” Sila answered rather disappointed.
” I heard what happened to your house, am just curious. how on earth did you get involved with mafia’s .” He asked.
“what?” Sila thought to herself. she wondered how her in-law had known about Mafia’s. They didn’t mention anything of such sought on the news.
“What do you mean..?” She managed to say at last.
“well Sila my dear I was born way before you and I can tell you are not behaving right. Now listen to me. I know you are hiding at that thvg’s house and I wanted to tell you that if he will live after tonight I will personally hunt him down like a dog he is and I don’t care whether you are slee-ping with him or not I will finish him.”
Sila was shocked.
“So my brother in-law is the man Scar had told me was after his life? ” She thought to herself after he hang up.
“My God” she held her face,
“this is so bad.” She had some idea her in-law was not a good man. In fact, he obtained most of his wealth involved in dirty politics and corrupt businesses. she shook her head as she sat on the couch after checking on her son who was de-ep in sleep.
It was 02 am and she had not heard anything from Scar.
She remembered him saying bye to her before heading out. He looked at her and k!$$£d her gently.
” take care ” he had said.
” I promise if I make it out alive, I will live to make you happy. I love you” he whispered to her. He then asked her a question she didn’t answer.
“Sila” he called her, as she looked up at him he asked,
” do you love me?”
She looked at him and just said, “make sure you come back here ” without answering his question.

Sila sighed.
“I wish i told him what I feel” she thought to herself..she got up from the couch with a start when the door to the sitting room opened wi-dely Jo and two other guys rushed in holding Scar who was motionless blood stains all over his clothes. Sila stood up, her hands to her mouth
“oh my God! what happened to him ?” she asked crying.
“He got sh0t” Jo told her,
“And he’s not doing good at all.”
She followed them as they took him to some room and l@yhis b©dy on the be-d.
“he nee-ds a Doctor” Sila said her hands shaking as she t©uçhed his shi-t blood in her hands,
“my God” she cried
“save his life”
“The doctor is on his way” Jo explained.
“we cannot risk going to the hospital or he will end up in prison.”
Sila nodded…
“well get me some items I nee-d to stabilise his bleeding and prepare him before the doctor arrives.” she told him panicking..
she struggled tearing his shi-t off as she g@sped, the bullet had missed his heart. It really had gone dee-per and he was bleeding badly.
Luckily, the doctor Jo mentioned walked in a few minutes later and went to him.
“she’s a nurse” Jo told him as he checked Scar..
“Good, help me with the tools in that bag” he indicated to Sila.
she did all the doctor asked and after an hour they managed to pu-ll out the bullets both in his che-st and leg.
He nee-ds blood as soon as possible the Doctor announced..
“he’s lost lots of blood, without blood we will lose him”
Jo stepped forward without hesitation
“get from me.”
” well it’s not that direct, we nee-d a match with his blood type” the Doctor frowned.
Sila spoke looking up at him,
“get mine doctor, I have group 0 it will match any other group.” She stood
“Are you sure?” the Doctor asked her.
“plea-se Doctor just save his life alre-ady. We cannot waste any time”
The doctor went back to his vehicle and brou-ght in some more machines and equipments. Thankfully Scar had met him up the previous day and hired him.
” I want you to be available and prepare for emergencies tomorrow” he had told him.
” I want all my men’s lives taken care of in case they do get hurt.” After cautioning him and offering him a lot of money the doctor had agreed. He gave Scar his number which he in turn gave to Jo and two other guys.
” If any of us walks out unharmed or alive,” he told them,
“call the doctor to help those who might be in nee-d of him.”
***** 🦆🦆
After setting everything the doctor drew some blood from Sila and put a drip on Scar, who was still motionless.
Sila felt a bit dizzy, the effect of drawing two drips of blood from her.
she drun!ksome milk and took the vitamins from the doctor taking a few minutes of rest.
Afterwards, she slowly walked to Scar who’s wounds had now st©pped bleeding and clean sheets were placed un-der him. His head placed on a pillow. She sat besides him and held his hand.
The Doctor and Jo left the room.
“we will be in the next room” they said as they left.
She t©uçhed his face marking the scar between his eyes with her f!ngers.
” you have to live Aaron” she said aloud
” plea-se your son and I nee-d you alive, together we can live throu-gh these dark times.” she shed a tear.
“I know you have been throu-gh a lot but plea-se you nee-d to fight ha-rder than before, be the superman that my Son thinks you are.”
she k!$$£d hisl-ips as tears rolled down her face.
“I am so scared Aaron, you nee-d to come back, you promised to make me happy remember ? I didn’t answer your question earlier. yes I…. I love you! ” She sniffed.
” I love you with the same pas-sion I hated you when you R@p£d me. plea-se say something. I love you Aaron.” She shouted louder.
He moved his head slightly, turning painfully he let a weak smile.
” Now that I can die for” he whispered.
Sila smiled .
” you are alive!” she laughed happily.
“oh thank you Lord” she looked up.
“well I couldn’t cross over with all that crying” he tea-sed weakly trying to t©uçh her face and wipe her tears.
“Don’t move” she told him.
“let me call the doctor.”
The doctor c@m£ in and checked him.
” well young man” he said,
“you have a hundred lives,” he chuckled.
” the bullets almost led you to the other side. Thank this woman who just saved your life. Without her blood we could be saying something else now.”
“Thank you Doctor” he whispered as he ru-bbe-d Sila’ s hand.🐧
“I owe you my woman, and I will live the rest of my life to make you happy. Thank you” he smiled slightly at her.
“yes you have to !” She smiled with tears in her eyes,
“you owe me big time.” She tea-sed sighing with relief.

Chapter 20
Scar was still alive but still in a delicate
condition. The bullets had gone too de-ep,
cutting throu-gh an important vein. The
doctor told Sila that Scar would take some
time to heal and nee-ded proper care.
She went down the bath tab, feeling the
warm water on her b©dy. It had been 4 days
since scar was sh0t. Even if the news of
Chile’s death was a bit comforting, the
danger was still there. Though the police
had no face to identify Scar by. It was quite
a challenge for them to locate him.
Most of Chile’s guys died in the attack as
reported by the police and about 6 were
arrested. Unfortunately 2 guys from Scar’s
group were also killed and the rest
managed to escape with minor injuries.
Sila had taken some leave from work and
unfortunately Zac stayed out of school. Sila’s
brother in-law had called Sila a day after Scar
was hurt.
“What do you want now?” Sila had
answered him..
“i know your b©yfri£ndmight still be alive. I
can offer you a deal” he told her,
” tell me where he is now and I will give you
one of my flats, fully furnished.”
Sila let out a laugh.
“you can go to hell brother in-law. I know
exactly who you are and if you continue
following and calling me around. I will not
only tell my sister and everyone in the family
but also the police, let’s see what they will
say when I tell them you were p@rtners with
a mafia.” She giggled.
“Don’t you even dare!” he had threatened
her
” or I will kill you together with that thvg
who is hosting you. ”
Since then he hadn’t called her, she took
almost 30 minutes in the water until it
started getting cold.
She walked out to the be-droom, which had
now practically become hers.
Scar who was now awake looked at her as
she walked in.
“Hey!” he called out.
” you look good in that attire.” she laughed
shaking her head.
“really? I will surely wear it more often” she
tea-sed.
“yeah” Scar added
” just re-move the towel completely though. I
like you better without it.” He smiled wi-dely.
she walked to him.
“how are you feeling ?” She asked feeling
his temperature, he smiled weakly
” don’t worry I will live, am just bored here.
Been in be-d for 4 days now. If not for the
pain in my leg I could have been out of here
alre-ady.” He complained.
“The doctor said you don’t have to move
until your leg is healed remember.. ?” She
sighed
He shook his head
” am not spending years in this be-d ”
Zac walked in as they spoke.
“hey uncle how are you?” He greeted Scar.
” am better Big boy” he smiled looking up at
him.
” tell me is mom taking care of you?”
” Yes” the boy smiled looking at his mother.
“but I can’t go to school. she st©pped me
from going to school that my uniforms and
books were burnt in our house. I miss my
friends” he complained.
“Come here” he called him.. “now listen Zac.
now that am sick you are the man of the
house okay? and I promise I will personally
take you to school when I stand from this
be-d, you hear?” Zac nodded …
“good boy, now go and pl@ythe game I
bought. ” he looked at him as the boy
walked out.
“am glad to be p@rt of his life, maybe being
in this be-d is not so bad at all” he tea-sed.
Sila dressed up and l@ybesides him. she had
not told him about her brother in-law.
“what is bothering you woman” he asked
her?
“I feel something has been bothering you.”
“yes, it’s just that the business man you told
me about is my brother in-law. he’s the
husband to my elder sister in Lusaka.”
“What’s that?” Scar asked shocked.
“yes Aaron” she sat up..
“and he knows am here with you, he has
been calling me to disclose your where
about promising to give me a flat and
threatening to kill me together with you”
she explained.
Scar almost moved to sit and crushed right
back m0@n ing with pain.
” damn it that man is crazy, how can he say
that to you? you are like family.” Sila sighed.
” he’s always had a dark side” she even told
him about how he had sold a house to her
and told her to pay in installments. she
mentioned how he almost R@p£d her
offering her not to pay the balance.
“I thought this thing is over with the death
of Chile but it’s like this man wants to make
our lives difficult.” Scar shook his head.
“why can’t you offer to take back his things
or money if you have sold them.?” She asked
him.
” I know the kind of person he’s portrayed
to be. He won’t accept those things back, his
own is to ensure am dead and buried.
Sila insisted they try calling him and ask him
to get his things back.
Sila called her brother in-law and told him
about the offer and he laughed.
“Oh my Sila you are so naive. I don’t just
want money and my things back. I also want
that thvgs head and if he is caught by the
police I will ensure he doesn’t last a day in
prison alive.” He responded to her.
Sila hang up and shook her head.
” I told you” Scar held her hand. “but I will
die first before I let him t©uçh you.”
**********
A week later Scar had improved generally
and Sila helped him walk around the yard.
His shoulder wound had improved too. she
had just helped him sit on the couch one
afternoon and asked him about his mother.
He had told her all about his mother and
were she lived.
” when I get better I promise to let her see
you.” Sila smiled. “unfortunately I can’t do
the same for you to my family for now.”
“I un-derstand” he answered.
They had fallen asleep that night and Scar
was awakened by a loud sound from
outside. He quic-kly limped to the window
and pu-ll-ed the curtain back a bit. The cops
had surrounded them.
“$h!t !” he shouted, He shook sila up
“Sila get the boy and maid we have to go the
police are surrounding us someone must
have led them here. ”
She quic-kly pu-ll-ed on a track bo-ttomand
rushed to get Zac and Maria.
Jo who was in the other room quic-kly ran to
Scar’s room
“we are bashed boss, what do we do… ?”
” Come on now Jo get everyone inside the
house to the secret pas-sage, now !” he
ordered.
Jo went to Sila.
“let’s go there’s a way out of this place.” he
led them to the p@n-try and opened the metal
covered with tiles, he gave a flash light to
Sila.
” go with them” he said pushing Zac and
Maria ahead as he indicated to one of their
guys.
“we are behind you.”
“no way, what about Aaron?” she asked
looking back.
” am not leaving without him, plus he nee-ds
medication too. ”
“Here” Sila gave the t©uçh to another guy
with them.
“make sure they are safe.” She quic-kly k!$$£d
her son.
” go on sonny” she told him
“am right behind you.”
She ran back to the room, Scar held his gun
re-ady.
” I thought I told Jo to lead you out of here,
they will b!ow up the door any time soon.”
” well” Sila answered as she went to pack
his medication in the small bag.
“you can’t walk properly alone you nee-d
someone to help you.” She hurried.
” But Sila come on Jo is here we can hold off
the cops and make sure you escape safely. ”
” st©p pla-ying hero Aaron!” she scolded him
“you are not well and nee-d to be out of this
place or you are going to die in jail. We all
nee-d to leave this place” she shouted
holding his hand and leading him out.
He limped as she led him to the pas-sage, Jo
behind them as soon as they closed the
entrance to the pas-sage, the door was
b!own away creating a loud sound.
As voices of the police shouted.
“search everywhere and bring them out”
their commander ordered.
Scar and the rest walked in silence in the
pas-sage. The only light was what the flash
lights produced. His wounds started
bleeding again with the pressure he had put
on them they had to st©p.
Sila lifted his t-shi-t, “we can’t go on i nee-d
to look at his wound. ”
” Jo” Scar called him.
” take the boy and maid to a safe place. we
can’t risk being caught, this woman won’t
leave. ” he shook his head looking at Sila.
She took time dressing the wound as one of
Scar’s boys held the flash light.
“You nee-d to be still for a while” she
suggested.
“we cannot be here for a long time. We nee-d
to get out of this pas-sage and go to a safe
place out there.” He argued standing up.
They walked slowly taking almost an hour to
reach the small shed on the end of the
tunnel meeting up Jo and the others.
“Find a Car boys” he ordered his boys
“we nee-d to get to the warehouse.” Sila
helped him sit up and placed his head on
herself as Jo disappeared in the thick night.
He was seemingly weak he p@n-ted as he put
his head on her l@ps and pas-sed out..
