The previous night, after being shockingly stabbed by a machete, Ben was left gasping for air and bleeding heavily. How could he have underestimated that b****** Mapulanga? He cussed himself. He had never being this stupid. If only he could be given a chance to kill that fool, he would but looking at how things stood, he would be dead in a few minutes if the blood flow wouldn’t be contained. Damn, life flashed on his face. The k3 million wasn’t going to be spent. If Devi could play the game right, he would get it all. Screw Devi, he gasped for air even more. He was his bestfriend though. One only friend in crime. One chance, just a chance, he begged looking at the heavens.

From the darkness appeared a man wearing a hood. Ben couldn’t see properly but he tried to speak. Words couldn’t leave his mouth. The man got closer and knelt before him, it was Hunter.

“Jesus!” Ben spit some blood. “Not him not him.”

    Hunter sprinted after Stone. He saw him cross the busy road without fear. The cars hooted causing traffic on the road. Hunter ran past the cars sliding on top of the hood of one car. He could see Stone looking back as he ran and everytime he did, he increased his pace but Hunter was on him like a lion. Getting closer to him, Hunter grabbed Stone's shirt bringing him to a stop and they both fell in the middle of the road.Stone’s bag was laying on the road. Hunter slowly got up panting heavily. Stone looked at Hunter as if he knew him but didn’t say a word. He dived for his bag while Hunter jumped on but he rolled over and reached for the .44 Magnum Handgun and pointed it at Hunter.Hunter raised his hands in the air. Stone stepped back whilst looking around. In a flash, a soldier dived at Stone sending them both to the ground. Hunter stepped back and wanted to turn around when he was hit in the back with a plank; he almost fell.“Don’t mo

    She stood before the gate, looked at her watch: 18:41. She knocked again for the third time. The neighborhood was quiet. No one was in sight and that gave her chills but it was probably because of what she’d been through lately. Get ahold of yourself Ludo, she told herself.The gate squealed and Kate peeped. She saw Ludo and smiled. She widely opened it and before she could let her in, she looked around to be sure no one was around and then motioned her to enter.“I thought you were not going to show up,” Kate said as they walked to the door.“I keep my word Kate,” Ludo said.They entered the house and Kate offered Ludo a drink but she refused. There was some tension between the two women. Obviously, a lot had changed since they last met and they really needed to address the elephant in the room. Kate broke the awkward silence and asked Ludo about how she had been and how her parents were and if they were still together. They

    Kate moved back and forth as she checked her watch. Where is he? She gritted her teeth. It was now getting dark and they had agreed to meet up but he was nowhere to be seen. She hated to be kept waiting.“Am i late?” Hunter asked, coming out behind her.“Yeah,” she answered annoyed. “Let’s get going. You’re riding in the trunk.”Hunter didn’t say anything. He walked round the car as she followed him. She watched him open the trunk, get into it and before she could close it, she said, “Have you heard anything from Ludo today?”“No,” he responded looking up. “I bet she’s fine. The less we hear from her, the safer she is.”“But i need to know where that Stone guy is.”“You will, let’s get going. You’re not the only one after someone.”She slammed the trunk in his face and walked back to the driver's door. Sh

    Unshaken, Hunter stepped towards Naveen and stood face to face with him. “I know you can kill me right here right now but i don’t have any beef with you Naveen. I have no problem with you or your family. I came here for Devi.“This is my house!” Naveen pushed him back.“And it so happened Devi is here. He almost killed an entire family in Chisoti village to get you that land. He didn’t succeed because of me.”This was news to Naveen, completely different from what he was told. “I don’t care what you tell me, you killed my father Hunter.”Irritated, Hunter said, “I didn’t kill him for crying out loud. I might know who did though.”When Naveen wanted to speak, they heard tires screeching outside and Hunter instantly figured it was Devi. Not minding Naveen in his way, he took off bumping him out of his way and found his way outside. He found two guards who seemed ready for h

He wanted to know more but Hunter couldn’t tell him things he also wasn’t sure about.Immediately after putting a bullet into Devi’s neck, Naveen had pressured Hunter. “Who assassinated my old man?”Confused, looking at Devi’s lifeless body, Hunter had answered, “I told you before, it’s just a speculation.”“Tell me about it!” Naveen had yelled.“Come on man. It’s just a speculation. I know the man who pulled the trigger but the mastermind behind it is the one i am not sure of.”“Who pulled the trigger?”“Some guy named Stone.”“I don’t know anyone by that name. Why would he want my dad dead?”Hunter had gone quiet.“Hunter I am talking to you!” Naveen had pointed the gun at Hu

The moment he was released after that arrest, he went AWOL.” she said. “That’s Hunter for you,” Ludo replied with a smirk. “Anyways, We are going now.” Melanie

    Eyes wide open in the middle of the night, Ludo was horrified with whatever bad dream she was having. She tried to move her head but to no avail. She could only move her eyes. She could see most of the things in her room but couldn’t reach for them. She usually slept with her bedroom door open. She tried to scream but her voice failed her. The more she tried to move, the difficult it became. She felt a presence in the room and became even more afraid. Her eyes shifted to the door in hopes of seeing her mother coming to her aid. She saw an ominous shadow at the door peeping. In seconds, she felt a weight pressed against her body that she failed to breathe. Her body was paralyzed and there was no way to fight the paralysis.“Ludo!” Her mother shouted entering the bedroom.Ludo saw her mother sitting beside her but she still couldn’t move. Her mother just sat there and watched her.“Mother,&rdq

    You see what you have done Joe?” Ludo’s mother asked her husband.“How could I have known Zamiwe?” Joe touched his head. “It was going great, I don’t know what happened.”“She told you she didn’t want to go but with your arrogance, you had to make her go.”“Is it a crime to go out with my daugther Zamiwe?” Joe’s eye brows bumped together in a scowl.Zamiwe knew better not to irritate her husband. She knew he had the same rights as her when it came to Ludo. Despite their differences, Ludo was for the both of them. They were just both overprotective of her.“I didn’t it mean it that way Joe,” Zamiwe answered thoughtful.“I know she’s sick and I care for her. Don’t make me look like a bad parent please!” Joe sunk in his chair.They all became quiet and lost in their thoughts. Ludo’s condition had tak

    Ben knelt before Walutanga and whispered, “This is not a personal vendetta, chap,” he started untying him.The three men got to where they were and stood looking at Ben untying Walu. He finished and turned to face them.“Where is Mapulanga?” he asked looking around.“He told us that you should take the boy to the palace in the evening,” one of the men answered.“What!” Ben yelled. “Who does he think he is? The agreement was that we meet here. He signs the papers and i hand the boy over to him. I have to get back to the city.”The three men looked at each other indifferent to what Ben was blabbering about. They had passed on the message and that was it. They told him that they had to go back. Ben was even more upset that he had to deal with Walutanga for at least another six hours. He calmed himself with the hope that it was only six hours and then their job would be done; he would be on hi

    Walutanga cried his lungs out till he got tired. For the last few hours, He couldn’t see anything but could feel he was confined to a tiny space and he was in something that was moving. He remembered what happened before he blacked out.He was with Hunter and Ludo and Hunter was fighting the little man who seemed to get the better of him. He had woken up at a house with Ludo by his side who didn’t seem to be alive. He tried to wake her up but she wasn’t waking up till the little man came. Walutanga watched him admire the unconscious Ludo till he started undressing her. He couldn’t watch what the little man wanted to do with Ludo. He got up and fought him off throwing anything he could in the room at him. He dragged Ludo to his side and threatened the man that he would kill him. He knew he couldn’t but he was lucky when the other man came in the room.“What’s wrong Devi?” the other man, who happened to be Ben, had asked.
