Kate and Steve were more than nice to me, they treated me like they'd known me for a long time. Steve treated me like I was Kate's younger sister. Always asking me if I was comfortable, if I needed anything. But I always told him I was fine. Them keeping me at their home was more than enough. Even little Johnson like me. He had barged into my room this morning to wake me up. He climbed on the bed to join me, then told me he wanted to stay with me a little before heading to school. I had smiled at this.
And Kate who had been looking everywhere for Johnson, came into my room to check. Then let out a sigh of relief when she saw him cuddling me in bed.
She smiled and pulled him by the arm, so she could go prepare him for school. But he was being persistent.

Mia"On two occasions. At school. The first one was my best friend. I thought I loved him, because he was so close to me. He had a girlfriend at that time, so I was jealous. Finally, one day, when we were studying in our lecture hall, I summoned up the courage and told him I loved him. He said he loved me too. And that was how we started having sex. The day he told me to go, he was like, I forced myself on him. And he loved me, just as a friend. But he loved his girlfriend very much.""Bull crap. When he was getting under your skirt, why didn't he tell you that? He's a moron." I wrinkled my nose in disappointment.And Kate chuckled, before releasing a big puff of breath. It seemed she still hurt a little when she thought about the past. "The second one, was in his final year. We met at a friend's party, and because acquainted with each

MiaI was nervous at first, it had been a long long time since I had my hair done, over two years. I didn't know how it felt like anymore.Two hours later, I stared back at the mirror infront of me to see if it was me or someone else. They had wiped all the pimples and dark spots on my face, making the skin on my face lighter. And the artificial hair I had on my head was quite bigger than my body, it was long, curly and full. And looked expensive. I stared at the price tag on the empty pack and gasped. It was thrice my monthly income.I quickly turned to Kate,she flashed me a sheepish grin when she saw the look on my face. "It's a good quality that's why it costs that much. You look beautiful by the way." She was sipping an orange juice and eating french fries. She winked at me and I smiled my gratitude towards her. I stared back

Alex"Isn't she gorgeous?" Kate asked me.I wanted to speak up but felt the words choked up in my throat.Standing before me, was Mia dressed in a cream coloured gown which was moulded to her body, revealing her slim but shapely curves. Black flats showing her perfect straight legs and a hair which was bigger than her body. She had no make up on her beautiful oblong face and her lips were so full and pink. I was short of words because she was breathtakingly beautiful and stunning like a goddess. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen on my 31years on earth. For the first time in my life, I felt like an idiot because I couldn't stop my eyes from roaming over her body.Kate cleared her throat and it broke us from staring at each other because Mia was staring at me too.

Charles"Alex Friedrich Esquire, caused a whole lot of damages during teenage hood. He was the social role of trouble; Vandalizing malls to the fullest extent, in the dead of the night. Painting cops car, getting into fights. He hated his father." It was Max, with eyes and fingers in front of the system, on the wooden desk that was filled with gazillions of paperworks. There was a cold coffee at the side of the system, that he drank on several occasions, with a sour facial expression.It was a Tuesday afternoon, at the station. Max and me were having a discussion, when I brought up Alex. He insisted on knowing why, and right at that moment, the idea of searching Max on our Criminal records, popped into my head.So I barked an order to Max to check for Alex because it was important. And he had hurriedly abandoned the paperworks, h

CharlesThree hours later."Is she your kid?" Asked a lady, whose eyes had been on me, since I and Ruby made our way into the grocery store.I nodded, while Ruby who was grabbing some candies, threw them into the cart, and stopped just to place her hands on her hips, as she stared at the woman in a carefully tentative manner."You look like her elder brother, and not her Dad." It looked like the lady wasn't going to drop it.Shoving my hands into my pants pocket, I shot her a tiny smile. "Yeah, I get that alot.""Uh, Paapa?" Ruby called out to me. Just before the lady could come up with a response to what I had said."Yes, baby?" I glanced at the lady br

CharlesThankfully there was a back door which I used in getting into the grocery store. I noiselessly tiptoed my way in, and stood at the side of where two book shelves were facing eachother. I knew it was a darn risky thing for me to do, because I was unarmed. But Lolita and her baby needed protecting. They were innocent.I took a hard dry gulp, calculating the next move I would make. Because these men were with guns. One bullet to my brain, and I was gone for good. I would loose every freaking I ever had, including my daughter and mother.I closed my eyes in dismay. This was a way too dangerous something to do, because it was just an unarmed me with more than twelve armed men. And if I didn't act smart, they were going to win.What the fuck was I even thinking? I muttered some curses at

Like I was her saviour. My breath got caught up in my throat at this. She never looked at me this way, even when we were together.There was this new found feeling of respect that radiated out from her.I couldn't believe all of this was happening. That I saw Lolita today, and now I was trying to save her and her baby.Was this fate, throwing us together again?It better not be.

AlexAn old woman, and a boy who could barely move his limbs came and held Mia as they wept. At this, I knew it was her grandmother and her cousin brother.My brain couldn't properly align that she was gone.I was still hugging her body to myself, as I wept, until I heard "Bolu."Instantly I snapped my head back, and saw one of the cops rushing to the lady who was on the floor. It was the same lady who had taken the gunshot for Mia.I stared at the lady closely, until I saw that it was Bolu.Taking my mask off, I left Mia in the arms of her grandmother, as I quickly walked up to where she was laying on the floor, in the pool of her own blood.The cop and a little girl was crying so hard, as they held her.And I squated and took one good look at her. Wondering why she was there in the first place. And why she had taken the

AlexWith my eyes, I searched for Mia, but I couldn't see her. It was other people who where tied with ropes, and had rags in their mouths.Tunde Ibrahim who had sustained a bullet on his leg, was on the floor. And he had a gun pointed at a female who was decorated in bruises, and had her clothes coated in blood.I looked closely, and saw that it was Mia.My heart moved to my throat at this, and I felt weak right at that instant.Mia looked half as dead, and I could tell that I stopped breathing.Just as Tunde Ibrahim pulled the trigger, I saw a lady from nowhere diving in to shield Mia away from the bullet.And when the bullet got through her neck, and she slumped heavily on the floor.This happened within the space of two seconds, and I shot Tunde Ibrahim on both hands. Before I rushed in to Mia.She was

AlexThe two cops accompanied me down to the basement, after adding more bullets to their guns.I could recall how Kate had told me, one of them; the tall fair one to be precise. Had saved them, when Tunde Ibrahim had sent a bomb.I knew if I hadn't shot the man who intended shooting him, he would have been as dead. Because he was out of bullets at that time.Him and his colleague had stared at me wide eyed, after I had shot and killed the other Tunde Ibrahim's man, who had wanted to kill the colleague.On getting to the basement, I kicked the door opened with my feet, and gunshots where behind fired at me. But for the fact that I was clad in a bullet proof all through, made no bullet to penetrate into my body.Taking steps backwards, I shot at these men, with the cops at my behind, assisting me.The more we moved backwards, the more they

CharlesMax and I exchanged gunshots with some of Tunde Ibrahim's men. It was really easy, because I was quite scared I was going to be shot dead. Even Max had fear evident in his face. We had our backs against eachother as we hid and shot at these men.It was one of the most difficult situation I had ever been thrown in, because we were surrounded by these men who where shooting at us from different angles. But God was still guiding us.The fact that Tunde Ibrahim had my mom and daughter, was worth panicking. I had no idea what he had done to them. If they were still alive or not.Max and I had killed most of Tunde Ibrahim's men, and it looked like two where still remaining, and hiding at some corner so they could shoot us.Just then, one of Tunde Ibrahim's men jumped out from his hidden place and aimed his gun at me.I tried to shoot at him, but then I r

BoluIt looked like something was on going outside, that most of Tunde Ibrahim's men started running out.Gunshots and screams could be heard.And on seeing how Tunde Ibrahim and the remaining of his men were rendering hefty blows and kicks on Mia, was making me sick.There was a pool of blood on the floor, and Mia's face looked swollenly covered in blood.Guilt stung me deeply, that the pace of my breathing became fast and uneasy. Because it was partially because of me that she was in this condition.I had been blinded by hate and jealousy, to see that Mia was innocent. I knew Alex, he wouldn't fall for a despicable person. He had fallen in love with her for his own reasons.Something I was too angry and jealous to notice.And now, she was thrown into this situation because of me.Like a beast, Tunde Ibra

CharlesThroughout the drive to Tunde Ibrahim's house, Max and I were panicking, to the extent that Max even wet his pants.I was trying so hard to keep my emotions in check, and it really wasn't easy.Tunde Ibrahim had my daughter and my mom, and I didn't even know if they were dead or alive. But I chose to believe that they were alive.Meanwhile, Max had lost all hopes.He broke into tears like a baby, and despite that I was in an anxious state, I still managed to talk to him. That everything was going to be fine, and we'd have our families safely. But Max still refused to believe me. His facial expression was like his world was crumpled, and there was no hope of restoring it.Even me too was scared, because Tunde Ibrahim had my daughter and my mother, but I still managed to stay strong. Because if I acted weak, then it meant I was willing to accept the

AlexOn getting in front of Tunde Ibrahim's house, I made sure I took hold of my bulletproof mask. My whole body was clad in bulletproof, before I wore my clothes.I wore a face cap, so it would be hard to recognize me.Then I banged loudly on the gate, and when I heard a masculine voice demanding who I was, I told him I was the pizza delivery guy.The peephole of the gate was flung opened, and a white milky eye stared at me, and the pizza I was holding in a suspicious manner.Before closing the peephole back. Then my ears kicked in the dangling sounds of heavy keys, which read that the gate was being unlocked.Blowing out a big puff off breath, then waited.The gate was finally jerked opened, and I stepped in.Right there an then, I saw an heavy raccoon of a man, with other shirtless guys who had bullets as necklace, and guns in thei
