Mika and I called it a day. I returned home flamished. Fortunately my father was there,he understood what I needed. He gave me a glass of wine and sweet cheesecake. I felt special for those few minutes.
“Do you still remember that dream you once told me about, the one where a little boy aged between four stood at the top of a mountain. On his chest was a board with the words “only blood could save me?.” My father asked, bow bridges looking similar to that of Frankenstein’s creature.
He seemed interested, perhaps he remembered something that could potentially lead me somewhere.“Do you know the little boy?” I was curious. My father paused for a while.“I think I do. Come with me.” he said, leading me into his office behind the book shelves, which I ended up naming, “The dark office”.“You said that the little boy was at the peak of the mountain, am I correct?”“Yes I did.” “Can you recall the exact description of the mountain?” “The mountain wWhen we were done with tea, Mika held me close to keep me warm,till I dowsed off to sleep. Hours passed by,the wind was no longer strong as before. Mika and Mr Phenyo were no longer there with me,it seemed they had left me there on my own.i looked at the time."eleven pm!" I said. I wore an extra jacket on top,then took a gun with me. Mr Phenyo and Mika had left pieces of red fabric onto the small tree sticks,in a perfect alignment so that I could find my way to them. And vise versa. As I was climbing higher on the Hex river mountain,i began to hear the sound of drums. The noise became intense as I climbed even higher. There were chantings, and allulating sounds. A few rocks fell all the way to the bottom, so I stopped moving and remain still for a few minutes. I felt tempted to look down but I knew it was risky. I continued to climb up high. Taking careful steps upwards. Hoping that I would not fall. I suddenly heard Mika's voice."Leave her alone!" He shouted.
Then I had a dream about him. In this dream it was morning, I was meeting with Mr Phenyo, he was pleased to have been invited by my father. He called it an honour, i almost laughed. Mika and I observed the case files we had received that very morning.I returned back to the office as Mr Phenyo had requested I meet with him with regards to the memorial service, while Mika left to meet with his secret date once again.“Miss Mokoena I’m glad you came. You can sit over there”.I looked up at the clock.“13:45”“Time has passed, let’s not waste the little time left” he said.Mr Phenyo opened his red BMW X5 car,I sat on the chair facing him, I could smell the mahogany wood on his table, it looked new. Mr Phenyo stood at the other end of his desk..keeping his gaze fixed upon me.“A flower requires light in order for it to sprout. I want to be that light” said Mr Phenyo.“What are you saying sir?”
My father introduced me to Byron,we exchanged greetings as was the usual habit."How is Cathy?" My father asked.Cathy was Byron's mother."She is not well. She is suffering from breast cancer. I told you the last time we spoke on the phone, remember?"My father paused for a while."I must have forgotten,my age. I'm getting old.""Is everything alright oom?" Byron askedMy father nodded. I sat there in silence. I knew he was lying."What brings you to Capetown?"Byron smiled."Work." He answered."What kind of work? I hope you're not abducting women and locking them inside your house and taming them to be your wives!" My father said jokingly.Byron chuckled."No nothing like that. I am doing some medical research. I will be flying to Soweto tomorrow and continue with my work there,when I'm done I will be returning back to the USA." Byron explained."Uncle Frans wou
I checked my phone and saw a text message that had come from Mika. “lets meet at the cafeteria, now if your free. I will get you a free soda drink.” the message said.“Mika wants to meet, I will see you later.” I said.“Can I come with you.”I couldn’t say no to my partner. Or rather should I say a very extremely handsome, tall, fair skin, charming partner. Whoa! He was my new crush, but I hadn’t felt it yet. I only had feelings for Mr Phenyo.I found Mika,sitting on his own with two cans of soda drink and of course a plate with pancakes and sunnyside up eggs.“i said come alone.” said Mika“actually you didn’t but here I am now, what is this about?”“Take a sit first.”Sam and I sat on our chairs.“I want to work with you. I know that you have a new partner and everything but I still want to work with you.” said MikaSam chuckled.“And what about Katleho?she is your part
We entered quickly after dimming the back camera.I took the sign in register,I would need it later to distract the security guard. Mika entered the HR manager’s office normally,the receptionist was not even startled by Mika’s presence as she was already called by an anonymous professional agent aka me to expect his arrival as the usual HR manager is feeling unwell from food poisoning. Then Katlego entered into the office,I went to the store room trying to find enrollment papers of John Dewald. Katlego filled in the job application papers,attached a resume with fake qualifications on it. Mika stamped the paper with the large,red inked words “hired” and faxed them to the principal,who then replied with an email to Katlego.“You start tomorrow morning at 8am.”“She got in”Mika whispered.“Where’s Lebo?” asked Sam.“I got them,let’s go” I said.I left the sign in register at the receptionist table and asked that she inform the principal about
When nightfall came Tony was all ready. The shipment was to take place at the Capetown International Airport. The team and I were standing by,waiting to see sudden motion. An Italian looking man wearing a black jacket carried a case with him,he put it near Tony.“Where’s the cash?” he said.The man looked at Tony for a while then took out his gun,he began to shoot. The people screamed,security guards ran to where the gun was fired. Mika and Katleho took separate routes to follow the Italian,I grabbed Tony who was shot in the stomach, fortunately he had a bulletproof vest on. Sam kept on giving directions on where to go. He was our guide.“Am I going to die”Tony asked.“Not if you go with us” I replied. Then drove him to the safe house.“I need to help my team,they need me.”I shouted“No their fine.Keep an eye on the prisoner,as he is our only witness.” Sam replied.“We found him!” Mika yelled on the a
When a child is born he or she is given a name by their parent or family relative. Each name has its own significance,it can either inspire or demotivate the child as they grow. When the child grows,he or she will receive a nickname from fellow peers.I was only 9 years old when I met the Juma freak Nduna . I was in the fourth grade,he was in the seventh grade,the oldest in his class, not because he was a slow learner but because he was enrolled late to school,very late and I still don’t know why. All the children feared him. He was tall, muscular with strong, huge gigantic hands that could put a child down with one slap. When I reached high school he was already in grade 12. He had turned into a real freak. His face was covered in piercings,his dreadlocks were long and dyed in orange. During lunch time he would sit with his girlfriend Dintle Sepheo,who was also in the same class as him. The two were inseparable and wicked. One Saturday night,my mother was working an extra shift,
“There was a point in time where I thought your mother Patricia was the only woman I could ever love,until I..”“What? Tell me!!”I shouted.“Lebo it was a mistake, I made a mistake marrying your mother!”“Huh why would you say such a thing?”I asked.“because your mother deserves a wonderful man, someone better than me. I had an affair with your aunt, whilst I was married to your mother and I never stopped loving her.That’s what made me leave.i couldn’t live with the guilt it was too much..i am sorry you had to find out this way..my child..I”“Save it!! How could you do this? Did you even love my mother?ugh!!” I shouted in anger.My father tried to explain but his insanity rose again,he laughed hilariously. I rushed to my room and began to pack all of my clothing. My cellphone was ringing in the kitchen table,I heard it but I didn’t want to answer it.I kept packing,tears falling down,my heart sinking from pain. I had no reason to
Meanwhile.. back at the GOH site. Ben and the agents in the control room were waiting anxiously for results from agent S."Sir we came as soon as we could." Said Mika."Byron knows we've been watching him. I don't know how, but he knows." Said Ben."It doesn't make sense. We made sure not to make a mess. How could he know?" Asked Katleho."But Agent S has promised to help us find him.""Agent S?""He finds people. He is good at making bombs as well. He has been working here for more than ten years." Said Ben."That means he can also find Lebo." Said Mika."He deals with GOH cases only.Lebo is more personal. I have people searching for her already." Ben stated firmly."Lebo is an agent here. She is also as important as any other agent here and should be treated as a GOH case!" Mika pressed."Mika calm down." Katleho said in a low voice."No! I refuse to keep calm about this. W
Meanwhile back at Byron’s private Lab. Mr Phenyo and i were still locked in the compartment. We hadn’t eaten all day, Byron was still upset as we had murdered his beloved assistant Lisa.One of the guards entered with only a plate of food.“The boss said you can choose to share if you want.” he said. Handing me the plate of food, he then left.Mr Phenyo did not say anything, he sat there in silence.“would you like a piece?” I asked.“a piece of Byron yes.”I chuckled. Even as I was starving, my appetite for the food had completely disappeared.“I wont eat anything, Byron is not getting any more of my blood.”“Then that would be the stupidiest move you could do. Eat, get your strength, get out and run.” said Mr Phenyo.“Why do you suddenly care about me? Or is it the guilt you are feeling after murdering my m
Agents of the Guardians Of The Hex were in were searching tirelessly for one of their own who was missing, me. Yet they didn’t know where I was.“Sir we need to go to this Byron, We already have robo bugs following him why cant we go there and raid his place?” asked Mika who was already grown impatient of following orders.“Mika, if Lebohang was there at his warehouse or secret lab, we would know that by now. The man is experimenting on rats doing God knows what, he even chats to them you can see that he’s insane and we still have not seen anything that could prove that he is somehow involved in Lebohang’s disappearance.” said Ben.“Fine, youre right”“A new case has come up, let’s go to my office. It will help keep you busy. Maybe even deal with your anger issues.”Ben handed both Mika and Katleho the case file so that they could be able to work right
Meanwhile..Mr Phenyo was in my fathers house, searching.“Where is that file?” He said. There was a noise outside the house, he peaked through the window and saw a car parked outside and Patricia walking towards the house. Mr Phenyo rushed to hide in Chris’ old bedroom which had now been used by Patricia.“What the hell does she want?Shouldnt she be at the wedding? She will have to tell me where the file is. No thats a bad idea, Miss Mokoena will hate me.. I’ll wait for her to leave then continue searching for the file, then I will leave.”said Mr PhenyoPatricia opened the bedroom door widely, Mr Phenyo was hiding under the bed.“Argh! Where is that?Ooh! There it is.” Said Patricia, grabbing the note from the bed, then suddenly the note slipped from her hand and fell down whilst she was trying to put it inside her purse.She bended all the way down to grab it, but felt something, as if t
Byron hadn’t called anyone on the phone. But his mental state had not changed he was still insane. He hadnt abducted anyone yet, but he still did his experiments.“All of my rats have gone missing, as if they knew I was after them as if they were saved by an angel.” Byron said, holding a rat with his two hands tightly preventing it from breathing. Byron then looked up at the ceiling, Agent lunga controlled the robo bugs to try and hide them.“you whoever you are who is listening, I urge you to stop what you are doing and join me instead.” Said Byron. He hadn’t noticed that the robo bugs were in the room, but he did speak on empty space, somehow he knew or assumed that there were indeed people looking at him without his knowledge.“Be very discreet from now, we are dealing with a very intellegent man, we need to stay alert all the time. We cant make any mistakes.” warned Ben.Byron took a jug filled
With the break Ben had given us, I was now able to keep my focus on the wedding.“I missed you.” I said, wrapping my feet around Sam while staring into his big blue eyes. .“I missed you too.” he said, smiling. “Any plans for today?”“no not yet I guess, unless Ben calls me to the GOH site.What about you, what are you doing after work?”“Today I am not going to work, I was also given a break, I hope its not just for today.”said Sam laughing. “But I am going to have to meet with Mika, he said he doesn’t know which suit to buy.”“I think you should go and help him. I don’t want to see a floral suit on my wedding day.My guest will think I am a mafia woman.”Sam Laughed, I joined in.Meanwhile.. At the Lab.“What are_ what are you doing to me?” asked Mr Booysens.Ben was lookin
A minute later, a man with an apron came in. He had a name tag on printed on the apron, D.L Booysens.Mr Booysens exchanged greetings with Mika and Katleho.He still hadnt noticed that Principal Vilakazi was there in the room with them, as Mika had covered the principal with a long linen sheet, only his feet were revealed.“Mr Vilakazi said to tell you to wait for him.” Mika said.The cook sat on a chair next to Katleho, who was at the time looking very sexy in a white pencil skirt and long high heels, which Mr Booysens found extremely distracting.“Uhm I think I will come back later, I don’t want to burn the pots.” said Mr Booysens. Trying to escape Katleho’s distraction.“I think you should wait a little bit, we can wait together.”said KatlehoMr Booysens smiled. Mika was very annoyed.“Okay lock the door.” Mika instructed. Katleho immediatly lock
I returned to my father’s house, while Mika and Katleho went to the school.I found my mother paging through an old photo album, what she normally did when she wanted to relive old memories.“I am so proud you my child.” said Patricia.“Proud, why?”“Look at this picture, tell me what you see?”Patricia said pointing at one of the pictures in the album.I leaned closer to my mother to get a clear view of the picture. And began to laugh.“I see a two year kid, butt naked carrying a ball and laughing. I was probably playing.”“and I see something else entirely. I see joy, we struggled so much but you were so happy my child. You didn’t even know how much pain I was in at the time, how stressed I was for not being employed, not being able to provide for you.It was so hard back then.” Patricia cried.“But we didn’t stru
Getting married was something I never thought could happen to me, let alone last this long in a relationship with a man. After the rape incident I found it hard to be attracted to any man. I hate them, they disgusted me. Mr Phenyo had a charm to him that made my knees weak, but he also scared me. However with Sam, thing’s were different, he was the ideal match I had long been waiting for. Where was Mr Phenyo anyway? I wondered.Early in the morning, at the GOH site, cafeteria.“one week left and you’ll be Mrs Hansling.” said Sam, the smile on his face was so wide, that you’d swear he was advertising toothpaste.“Do you have a groomsman yet?” I asked“do you have a bridesmaid yet?”I chuckled.We both had a lot of work to do.“Do you think Mika would agree to be my groomsman?”“Mika’s is my friend, so y
