Nancy looked up and saw Maze.Maze, Maze, Maze! It was always this Maze guy, turning up where he was not needed.Rodney might not have found her where she had hidden among the bushes but it was Maze who had located her without her being the wiser and had tapped her shoulder and nodded and she had been so scared and surprised that she had screamed and run off into the road where she had luckily seen Jason driving.But he was here again to spoil everything.'And who are you?', Jason asked fearlessly, turning round to look at the man pointing a gun at him.'No sudden movements or I will also move my gun suddenly'.Jason would have whirled round and taken the goons gun from him and trained his own on the fool but he feared not for his life but for Nancy's.'Jason, no need playing smart. Turn round and drive off if you do not want your lover to come to any harm. Else this is the last the both of you will see each other!' Rodney threatened.'If you had your way, this is the last we would s
Jason did not want to start running with Nancy for two main reasons.The first was that she was pregnant and was already too stressed and secondly, the road was a straight road with no place to hide and the goons may shoot at them and it would be a straight one. He could not risk getting Nancy injured.'Why were the police taking so long?' Jason asked as he got the gun he had taken from Richmond ready if only to stall for more time.He gave it to Nancy and held on to his own which he had also remembered to take from Richmond. He quickly thought her how to use it the gun.Her hands were trembling violently. She had not used a gun before and did not know if she was ready to kill anyone even those deserving of it like Rodney and his goons.She made up her mind to use it if need be and not disappoint Jason. She felt that she would rather do it than get captured again by that lot because she knew that this time, her fate would not be admirable.The short-tempered Rodney was ready to ask
They were driven back to the lodge and kept under lock and key while Rodney decided what he wanted to do with them.He did not know if he should still embark on the journey tomorrow or not. He was now really angry with Nancy. He had believed her when she had told him that she still loved him and had been ready to do anything for her but the hope he had nursed had shattered and he was filled with anger and wanted nothing more than to shatter her and her hope of having a relationship with Jason. It would be over his dead body before he would allow their love story to continue.He decided that he would teach Nancy a lesson but Jason must be made to see his lover punished and be unable to do anything about it.So he ordered that the captives be brought to his room.It was spacious and the captives we're tie.Jason was asked to sit on a chair and he was tied to the chair though his hands and legs had already been tied up ahead of time.Nancy was asked to stand.Then, Rodney asked the goons
Rodney was shocked at the way, Nancy hugged him immediately her hands were free.He had expected her to fight and struggle against him not to hold him as though welcoming him and asking him to take her.He could never understand women or was it another trick of hers?'What do you think you are doing? Do you think you can deceive me a second time?''I wouldn't dare. I have seen that you are serious and rather than antagonize you and force you into allowing your goons have their way with me, I'd rather submit myself to your ministrations and spare myself the pain of being raped even by you.I am not doing it for you but for me and my unborn baby. Hopefully you would take it easy with me and we both can have a nice time without either of us hurting the other'.Rodney considered this and felt it was a plausible enough reason for her actions. What could she possibly do? His goons are outside the door awaiting any danger signal from him and they could not even cross the gate and as well as
Suddenly, there was sound of a police siren coming their way and Jason heaved a sigh of relief.He was beginning to think that all hope was lost because what use was it fighting with one's fist against a blasting gun by a professional shooter?As he ran towards the rock, a bullet caught him on the shoulder, he still kept running and praying the police would get there in time.As he was about to jump behind the rock, another bullet caught his leg.The police came and so did the last goon to help Maze in the war outside the gate.The police asked them to stop shooting but they seemed to have gun deaf.'You are surrounded, surrender yourselves. Stop shooting. This is the police!'The shooting halted and Jason smiled at Nancy. 'We made it!' he said.Nancy could see that he was growing weaker.'You have been shot!' she screamed.'It is nothing provided that you and our baby are safe! I will be treated. It is no big deal'.'But it is!'She stood to call the police to send for an ambulance
Alfred had waited in the hotel for Jason to teach him but he hadn't and when he had called to find out what was going on there, Jason had not picked nor responded. That was when he started having the premonition that something was terribly wrong.To add to this feeling of unease was the fact that Richmond himself had not made an appearance. He could have called his sister but didn't have her number until he decided to check the phone directory where he got the mansion's number and called.He was surprised at the way the phone was picked up without delay and it was a man called Chris and Alfred guessed it must be Jason's in law.'May I speak with Jason please?''Who are you?''Oh sorry. I am Alfred. I was the one who went out on a date with Nancy'.he said.'So you are the one who has caused us all these problem', Chris said with amusement in his voice. ' A lot has happened since then. I am surprised you are not aware of it'.'Jason sent me to London to go visit Richmond's office and ho
'Nancy, you have to wake for me, please. You have brought so much light and happiness into my life.I know that we do not see eye to eye sometimes and we have rows but those are lovers rows. Lovers disagree and quarrel but that does not make their love for each other a lie. It rather brings them closer together because they understand each other better as a result.I may not have been listening to you the way you wanted and deserved in the past but I assure you that from henceforth, I shall do all that you say but you have to come back to me.Do you remember the joy on the faces of the children as you distributed the gifts you had instigated us to buy for them on that day of the party? I could never forget it and I thought that day that as you like bringing smiles and happiness to people's faces, that I'd do the same to you.And do you know what? It is not late and I promise you that I shall do it. I shall make you the best husband in the whole wide world. I shall give you everything
Jason stayed there weeping and speaking to Nancy's lifeless shape until he fell onto a deep sleep.He was woken by Chris who felt that he had stayed there for long enough and the children were getting bored with talking with him in any case and it was also time for Jason to take his drugs and be injected.Jason left Nancy's ward reluctantly. He knew that he had a duty to perform to ensure that all who did this to them were brought to justice and not allowed to go unpunished.He may have been a fool wanting to be the ideal citizen by leaving justice to the law and that was why he had not shot those criminals when he had the chance to.He had not stop regretting it ever since he woke. He would have gone ahead and shot them and claimed that it was in self defence which wouldn't have been altogether a lie.After his drugs and being injected, he tried to out on a cheerful face as he played with his niece and nephew for a bit.'Uncle, these bandages on your shoulder and leg, are they the pl
