The interior of the white range Rover sport was so comfy and brown.
The cool air from the air conditioning system nullifying the effect of the hot Harmattan sun outside!
But the vehicle;
' It is too masculine for the hands controlling the steering' he thought.
They'd just exited a magnificent boutique - House of Colors, and he was clearly feeling confident with himself again.
They had dressed themselves up good, and for once she was looking like a feminine, and beautiful!
She was clearly fun to be with. Always smiling and happy - at Least for the past hours he'd been with her.
It was so fluid between them, the conversations weren't forced and the arguments, another story.
He was happy and comfortable with her.
'must be a rub - off of Uche, he thought.
This wasn't really what he could say of his

RomaShe shrugged. “I mean, who doesn’t?”But could she be romantically involved with him? This is a question she was yet to answer.“Can I use your phone?” She heard Chad ask“Sure” she nodded ,and then, he gently took one of her hands away from the wheel of her moving car and, smoothly and sensually run his fingers through the length of her femur, so quickly that one would think his intentions were innocent.“thank you love” he smiled and let go of her hand.'damn!' she cussed in her heart.'was he doing this on purpose? Was he flirting with her?' because if he was, it was working.She didn’t even know why she smiled shyly to herself. He was making her feel like a girl again.Her smile slowly faded away to a plain face when she heard him say;"Hey honey, it's me. Sorry, I've not called ever since, but I'

MaggieShe stood in front of the long wall mirror of room 223 of Pinus Hotels as she admired herself in her bronze colored night gown.She was good looking, Fresh from a warm bath and smelled fabulous.Her ebony virgin hair was standing erect stubbornly, her boobs round and firm, she was still young and full of life.Her curves were completely ‘carved by an artist’ without mistake;‘I have the assets of a pornstar!’ – she thought.She was sexy, at least to herself.There was a knock on the door of her magnificent room… she went over and opened the door, it was the room service, An elderly woman holding some napkins and a mop.“ give me ten minutes please, I’ll be going out soon..” she pleaded politely.The elderly woman smiled and left.

“ what happened?” Chad asked in surprise as they walked into the large office. Roma quickly rushed to cut the tapes holding Maggie and uche bound to the steel chair with a dagger she picked from the ground.It was unusually quiet and dead cold between Uche and Maggie. It was so clear that there was high emotional tension in the office.It even looked like they’d been crying.Were they tortured? Chad wondered.Uche looked battered and beaten. His face was swollen with blood and bruises from blows.“…sweetie who did this to you?” Roma asked lovingly as she held up his face with her palms examining the wounds carefully.“ I’m the doctor here, let me help you” Chad suggested as he moved to help Uche.“ can I get a first aid box?” He requeste
MEDUSA CHAPTER THIRTEEN: DEN OF LIONS
RonaldHe pinched his eyes as tight as he could as the dry breeze of the Harmattan of twentieth December raised some dust pebbles and particles into the air in a circular motion.It clearly reminded him of how long he'd been out of the country, Seven years!He never wanted to leave. His father had an empire here and he was his only heir.Who would want to leave? It was simply necessity that drove him out, a survival instinct- in a bid to save his own life, and that of his sister.Canada had been cold as always- never this dry, nor hot , nor rough. The kindness that was a quality prevalent amongst most Canadians was non-existent here.Here, its a wicked world.With every bit of the statement true to him.His sister was always the one who wanted to leave to go stay with their grandmother in Canada because their father was insane!Her dr

Uche and MaggieHe'd been on the computer for over an hour and had achieved nothing, absolutely nothing.He'd tried all the hacking moves he'd learned from Maggie, but nothing. The fisheye was invisible.Maggie had just been sitting there saying nothing, with her arms and legs crossed staring at Uche like he was such an interesting movie." find anything yet?" she asked mockingly.He looked at her, it began to frustrate him how Maggie wasn't willing to help.He knew Maggie. She knew how to get to Chinny, she would not just do it." Maggie please? Help me here."" hahaha.." she laughed " and give chinny to that monster?... No way"" Maggie, I swear to you, she'd never leave my sight. I just need her to help us all here. She's the only one who can and you know it. I'm clueless here
MEDUSA CHAPTER FIFTEEN: HELP!
ChadSeven years. Of course a lot has changed.The furniture had become older, the curtains had been changed, the silence in the house had become deafening - something that was foreign to his home seven years ago.Silence, absolute silence, strange as it was. New to a home that used to consist of seven noisy children with a troublesome grandmother seven years ago.Nothing good was going to come out of this visit of his, he felt it in his bones.The house was basically the same, only older.It clearly had not been painted in a while and the air conditioning system was non-functional now but the television was still there.That same old 64 inches flat screen television hanging on the yellow wall at the center of everything, with a sports highlights program displaying on it's screen.When did his mum become a fan of sports? He wondered.That was his fathe

Ronald Flashes of his father’s face repeatedly ran through his brain. The picture was similar , Dr Grant, on the white glass floor tiles with his hands clutched to his stomach trying to hold back some severe bleeding!He grunted in pain as he lay there helplessly. It was evident that he was trying hard to Stay conscious. “Dr Grant!” Ronald called as he rushed to hold the poor doctor whose eyes looked pale, like he was loosing touch with the real world. In the large room, everything was white - the bed sheets , the curtains, the floor, the lights. Only the furniture was brown, and of course, the blood stains at several points in the room, indicating Dr Grants struggles to stop the bleeding before he started falling into shock. “Dr Grant! Sir!... Stay with me! “ Ronald continued tapping his cheeks. No answer, only noisy breathing

Chinny"...madmoiselle Bouvery Rouge....?" The immigration officer repeated with a stern look into Chinny's eyes, studying her carefully for a moment.Her deep red lipstick on a no make-up face, and a red straight hair weaved around her scalp till it looked like she was wearing a red turban, long earrings, and a long pink animal-fur sweat coat with white snickers."D'ou vienez-vous? Et pour quoi?" he asked"Je vien du France pour visiter ma mère, elle as mâl." she answered non-chalantly, chewing a gum with reckless abandon." elle habite ici?""bien sûr, elle est une Nigeriane."He looked at her sternly again , before saying"bien venu madmoiselle" as he stamped her blue passport."merci beaucoup" she replied as she picked up her moderately sized bag and made for the arrivals with her heart pounding of re

EPILOGUE: ... it is still with a heavy heart that I, Chris Ronald, write to you, The United Nations. For the sake of the very lives that have been lost so far in this fight, this struggle for a sovereign state of Nigeria. I still fight, with only one hand and one leg. I refuse to remain silent. Please fulfill the promise you made to my late brother, Chiadi Okorie, the Fisheye, who gave his life in service for this purpose. Avenge us, I beseech you. Avenge Nigeria, for all our sakes.

RomaShe ran as fast as her feet could carry her carrying her long sniper bag where she had packed in her sniper and shouting;"Maggie!!" "Maggie!!" in fear! As she ran towards the center of the field.She had gotten Maggie's signal from the roof of the Catholic Church where she was well positioned with her sniper near the church bell.She had counted the men, they were four in number. She could take them all out in a go because the range wasn't too far.She had waited and switched the view into night mode, awaiting her signal just before ..."Maggie! Maggie!!" she called as she got to where Maggie was trying hard to keep standing.She had been shot twice around her lower abdomen and her hands were still there trying to put pressure on the bullet wound."Maggie listen to me, you've got to stay with me, do you understand?" she said grabbing Maggie in

MaggieIt was thick darkness. Only the sound of the rustling of leaves and creeping night insects could be heard.She glanced at her wrist watch, it was 9.02pm. But she stood there at the center of the large compound of St Patrick's Catholic church waiting, standing in front of her white Mercedes Benz, waiting for her meeting with the Medusa demon - the Vampire.They were two minutes late to the meeting, one she had arranged risking her very existence.The Vampire had contacted her demanding to know her status with the location of Fisheye.

For justice for her daughter Rose!Her rape was the beginning of her downfall, after it her life was never the same ag
MEDUSA CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE: TRUTHS
Ronald Here was the joy, that some people actually missed him, thought of him, and loved him. Chinny had literally jumped on him and Uche, for the very first time in his life, hugged him. Scorpion, who’d just been standing at some corner couldn’t help but smile at how happy they were. He’d been reluctant about the whole thing, but now he was okay. He only had a few more hours to spend in Nigeria as his pilot had confirmed he was already set at the airport awaiting their arrival so they could take off.But he didn’t want to and even scorpion saw it. He was happy. Very. They’d laughed and laughed about lots of things as Uche would tease him about his new appearance, his beard! And his well pronounced pink lips against a fair skin!They even ended up strolling into their former class, Goldstar (yellow), with the white lights completely illuminat

ChinnyThe heavens had shut their eyes, darkness had come, the night was here.It scared her, for who knew what darkness brought in it's mouthShe was supposed to be happy walking down the beautiful blue lobby of Springfield high with Uche, the father of her child, holding her hand and flashing his sweet dimpled smile at her. She was not. For heaven was falling and death was nigh. Medusa was coming, coming for all their souls, and she knew it. For everything had gone wrong, and the plan had shattered, it was game over in her calculations.She looked at the happy man, Uche, her love, and tears filled her eyes as he stood her on the balcony with himself - a place he used to give her chocolates and tell her his funny dreams of becoming the king of the world. King of the world indeed."Hey baybee." He began. "Are you crying?""yes" s
MEDUSA CHAPTER TWENTY THREE: ROMAN EMPIRE
RomaShe opened her eyes in her weakness and immediately recognized she was in a hospital with blue walls, white mattresses, white light , and an antiseptic smell.For some reason, she never went totally unconscious, no. Not while the nurses took her in, not while they injected a drip into a brachial vein, not while they conversed amongst themselves saying;“she will be okay, just a little trauma and a few bruises here and there. She’ll be back soon. She just needs some rest”Now she was fully conscious and suddenly felt a surge of anxiety and adrenaline when it hit her;‘where is Cas’ mother?’She was supposedly brought in with her but on looking around at the few other beds in the empty ward, she was not there! So where could she be.She got up swiftly with caution not to make a noise and gain attention.She trudged to the door, staggering

The white range rover sport had exploded sending him into unconsciousness for a while. He had woken up to the face of the black Goliath staring at him.“Mother!” Chad called out as he saw his mother lying still on the red sand stained with blood.“she’s badly wounded” said the black Goliath“she needs a hospital. I’m going to rush her to the closest one!”“Wait! Let me go with you”“No! Save your strength. Find who did this!” the deep voice sounded as he lifted Mrs Okorie in his arms.“ Roma! Roma!” Chad called crawling to where she lay unconscious bathed in brown dust.She was swinging in between consciousness and unconsciousness. Only weak and tired but she seemed alright. He wasn’t sure, she might have an internal bleeding.However, she was mildly conscious.“He is going to rush you both to a hospital, you’re going to be alright.. “ he could hear the thumping of his heart.The two people he loved like hell were fig

ChinnyShe stared at him as he drove, thinking, wondering. If only she could explain to him everything, tell him her story, tell him all he didn’t know and how everything he thought was true wasn’t. But of course, he’s at it again, Uche fighting for all he loves, how cute. “what?” he smiled “ oh, nothing. You just didn’t change much that’s all” “ are you sure?” “yeah…” she gave a fake smile unsure of what next to say as her anxieties were getting the better of her. Her anxieties not because of Uche's presence, but because of the whole plan- the reason, the reason for her return.He didn’t know, no. He didn’t know how he was just a puppet in the master’s hands, playing on a field in which he has no control.A couple of years ago she had completed her masterpiece, Troy – a protocol she had developed to access literally anyth
MEDUSA CHAPTER TWENTY: GOOD YEARS
RonaldWith Zayn Malik's 'good years' song playing softly on the radio, Ronald sat on the back seat of his BMW X6 with Scorpion who'd been driving for over 30 minutes now.He'd been lost and quiet for a while now still shocked at what had just happened as the lyrics of the song's chorus spoke loud in his heart, it said;"I'd rather be anywhere , anywhere but here..."With Dr Grant's blood stains still there on the clothing in his hands (he'd changed into a black polo and a black leather jacket) with him starring at it, lost, and remembering the past, all of it. He shouldn't be in the position to tell his best friend about his father's death, no one should. "where are we going to sir? We've been driving around aimlessly for over thirty minutes" scorpion started with his cold, light but crispy voice.No reply "sir..."
