CONTINUATION OF PART(1). WAS LOAD OFF LAST NIGHT COULDN'T COMPLETED IT. HERE WE GO.......... John’s motherhad left him with his father because he was a drunkard and beather up every time he drank, he had met John’s step mother at aclub where he usually drank. John quickly said his prayers andwent to have his bath, when he came back TJ was still sleeping,John kicked him and said mumu you no go go bath, TJ then said‘weray’ and went out to have his bath. John had finished dressing up when TJ came in, John was dressed in his Corperoutfit, while waiting for TJ to finish dressing up he took histimeto cross check his luggage, he then remembered that he had not picked up his novel, at least that would entertain him throughoutthe long journey to Lagos. John and TJ went to have their breakfast of moin – moin and pap at mama Nkechi’s buka, theythen set out to the main road to look for a taxi to take them to themotor park, they waited for about 7 minutes before they saw ataxi, after a minute of negotiating the taxi driver then agreed totake them there for 200 naira,they then set off on the 15 minutesjourney to the motor park, John looked sideways at TJ, TJ was the last born of a rich family of 3 girls and he was the onlymalechild, his 3 sisters were based in the U.S with their mother, whilehis father was a busy business man who rarely spent a weekwithout traveling, TJ was handsome, he was the ladies guy buthe was not brilliant in terms of academics, he graduated with asecond class lower, TJ also had a knack for getting into trouble.They got to the park and alighted then settled their taxidriver, itwas then TJ tried hiding his face when he sighted somebody inthe garage , John noticed TJ’s action and asked oh boy wetin happen? TJ said padi mi na one of those girls I see o, make wedo quick go enter bus, they hurriedly entered a bus with aLagossign on it, while in the bus TJ put his head on the seat to hide hisface.John, still a little bit surprisedasked, which girl be that? TJ withhis head still on the chair, it’s one of those girls who claimed Iimpregnated them, Job burst into an uncontrolled laughter whichattracted some passangers in the bus, so you dey run from yourresponsibility abi? Which kind responsibility? Na only me theydey follow sleep? If she see me for here she go hook me downcome embarass me for this park. Luckily for TJ the last passanger entered and they set off, but TJ still had his head onthe chair, John with a smile on his face tapped TJ on his headand said Baba Junior carry your head up, TJ grinned and said you don dey craze. John checked his wrist watch, theyhad setoff around 8 am, John then took a moment to survey the faces ofthose in the bus, they were six corpers in the bus including them,4 guys and 2 girls, one of the girls of which he knew, her namewas Joy and she was one thefew girls he admired. Joy Parkerwas epitome of beauty, she was an half-caste, her father was from England and her mother was from Nigeria, John had seen alot of girls in his lifetime but he could swear she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, after a while John picked up hisnovel and got busy, he was reading the broker by John Grisham,he was in the 5th chapter when something happened.Suddenly the woman beside him had an asthma attack, asshetried to use her inhaler it fell outside the bus through thewindow, John immediately shouted at the driver to stop, when the bus finally came to a halt, John got down and sprinted backin search of the inhaler, he ran for about 50 metres beforesighting the inhaler, when he picked it up he ran back to the buslike a mad man and handed the inhaler back to the woman, she then used it and it stopped the attack in a matter of seconds,John looked sideways only for him to see that Joy was staring athim, John was immediately taken aback by her captivating beauty, she had a light skin and beautiful brown eyes, they hadeye contact for about 5 seconds before Joy finally looked away smiling , after the woman hadcalmed down she thanked John forhis help and prayed for him. Joy knew a trustworthy guy whenshe saw one and to her John would be trustworthy, she had onlyseen him a few times around camp but there was somethingabout him that interested her,after being cheated on by herexboyfriend, Joy decided that she was done with Nigerian men but maybe John was an exception. TJ was glad he was returning home, home for him meant he could go out with his father’s cars,go clubbing, bring home girls and move at his own free will,he remembered his ordeal with different girls with different sizes,shapes and skin colour, he was a player unlike his friend John,he felt sorry for John who didn’t really know what fun was like,his attention was drawn backby the screams of the people in thebus, when he looked to see what was happening TJ said “ohdamn ” because trouble was ahead of them Right in front of them stood six men armed men, the driver thought about making a run for it but thought again when he sawa plank full of nails right In front of him, he had no option but to stop the bus, the armed men ordered them all out of the bus, and asked them to drop all their valuables and money, the passengers immediately began to comply, the only thing Johncould think of at that moment was the safety of Joy, he hoped themen would do nothing more than collect their money and leave them alone but he was wrong, the woman who had an asthma attack earlier suddenly fainted, no one dared go to her aid, the leader of the armed men ordered the corpers and four other passengers into the bus where they were blindfolded, the next thing John heard was gunshots as the remaining passengerswere killed in cold blood, the driver of the bus tried to escape butgot six bullets into his back as a result of his action, the menthen got into the bus and drove off, John’s heart started to beatfast he was half glad that Joyand TJ were in the bus with him,though he didn’t know this men but he knew one thing aboutthem “don’t mess with them “, TJ had his heart in his mouth, hehad never had a gun pointed at him before, he didn’t know wherethese men were taking them to but he knew it could not be good WATCH OUT FOR PART 2 |
Re: The Adventure Of Corper John (part 1) by Nobody: 8:27am On Oct 02, 2014 |
PART 2 Joy was so scared that her heart pumped like a pumpingmachine, she had different questions racing through her mindlike Who were these people? Where are they being taken to?What do they want from them? Why were they the chosen ones?John noticed that the bus suddenly slowed down and took a turn,now there were off the tarred road, he knew because he could tell from the buses sound and movement, he heard one of the armedmen talking about how much they will be paid for bringing tenpeople, one of the men said If na 100,000 naira per person then e mean say na one million naira we dey collect, now John knew where they were being taken to, they were going to be sold by the armed men to ritualists who would pay them 100,000 naira foreach of them, TJ’s worst fears were confirmed as he also heard their conversation, is this how his life is going to end? He thought, the bus had continued along the rough road for 30minutes where it had taken different turns than they could count,they drove for another 20 minutes before the bus finallycame to a stop. They were there, John thought, they were at the placewhere their lives might end, their blindfolds were removed andthey were ordered to get down from the bus, as they got down loand behold they were in the middle of nowhere inside a very thickforest, right in front of them stood an uncompleted building with hefty and heavily armed men,they were about 7 in number, one ofthe guards said they don come o, the leader of the armed men then ordered them to line up in a straight line and move into thebuilding, John wondered how any human being in their rightsenses would think of building a house in such a thick forest inthe first place, as they were moving into the building, John noticed that a car was parkedbeside it, it was a Range RoverSUV, John quickly crammed the number of the vehicle AA 885AKD as they were about to enter into the building John thought,was that the last car he was going to see? Well if it was, it was anice one .They entered the building which was dark and damp and smelled of death, escaping was not an option as they were surrounded byhard looking, heartless and hefty armed men, they were lead to adark room they called the dungeon, where they were chained. TJsaid to John ‘on the bright side we’ll pray to God for forgiveness and end up in heaven ‘ prayers! John hadn’t thought of that, hebegan to pray to God for forgiveness, he asked God to find them away out of this smelly, dark dungeon, he had not finished praying when one man walked in carrying injections all filled with asubstance that neither of them knew about, the man began toinject each of them with the substance, as he was injected, John began to recite psalm 23, he had not reach ‘thou anoint my head with oil ‘ when he suddenly felt dizzy, as his eyes were about toclose the last thing he saw was Joy who was already unconscious…………………………………………………………… It was almostevening when they woke up, they must have slept for about 5hours, it was then John noticed that he was Unclad and all hishair was shaven, not only himbut all the guys who were in thedungeon, he looked towards Joy’s direction, she was untouchedand so were the remaining women in the dungeon, he and Joy’seyes met, he was a little shy, he liked the idea of being Unclad infront of her but not under such circumstances, their clothes were in the center of the room, John felt uneasy, he was not used tobeing Unclad in front of women, but he knew TJ was, he had tofind a way to free himself andget out of this mess along with Joyand TJ at least, he looked at the far end of the room and noticed that some of them were weeping, John studied the room forescape points, the window was not an option as it was high, verysmall and had a hard burglarybarricade in front of it, he lookedup at the ceiling, the door was not an option either as two armed men were outside guarding it,he looked at Joy then he had an idea …John looked at Joy’s hair andnoticed that she had a hair pin, can you throw me your hair pin? John asked politely, okay Joy replied as she removed her hair pin and tossed it at John,with his shackle bound hands he pick up the pin, as he tried to use the pin to pick the lock of his chains, the door opened and 3 men came in and took the four other people who were not corpers,John heard one of them say something about beheading themand using their organs for money rituals, John silently prayed to God for a miracle, as the last armed man was about to close the door he mistakenly shut the door on the bunch of keys attached to his belt hole, the keys fell inside the room as the man shut the door, that was the fastest prayer that God had ever answered him, now he had to act fast, heaven had helped him now he had to help himself, he got back to picking the lock as he was sweating as if he was inside an oven, he was relieved when hepicked the first lock, he had never done such before but he hadnow put the movies he watched into good use, as his left handwas free he used it to pick the second lock,it took about 3minutes for him to pick the lock until it opened, with both his hands free he stretched to where the key was but he was just afew inches short, he looked around and remembered their clothes which was in the middle of the room, he stretched to where theclothes were and took his boxers and used often it to try to getthe key, He threw his boxers over the bunch of keys and pulled itnearer, now he had the keys, he had tried 3 keys before thefourthone opened the shackles on his feet, now free, he out on hisboxers and went to release Joy first, he tried the keys that released him first and it opened all her shackles, he tried it for TJ too and It worked, when TJ was free John have him the keys to release the other 3 people while he dressed up, when they wereall released and dressed up, John had a plan to get them out of there.. ……………………… Bison was in the slaughter room when he noticed that his keys were not with him, he quickly retraced his steps in search of the keys, he searched everywhere but couldnot find his keys, he then remembered that he had not searched the dungeon, with his pistol in his hand he ran to the dungeon, he then ordered the two guards to open the door, when the door was opened, Bison could not believe his eyesThe room was empty as all the prisoners had escaped through the ceiling, he raised an alarm and informed all the men that the prisoners had escaped and he needed to have them back, all themen ran out in search of John and his mates because prisoners meant money, John and his friends ran through the back of thebuilding into the forest as fast as they could because sooner or later their captors would find out that they had escaped, before they could say Nelson Mandela 6 armed men were after them, it was now a race of life and death called stop and you are dead,TJ had been in a similar situation before when he was being chased by cultists in his university for dating the girlfriend of oneof them, that time he ran through the school premises to the nearest police station or else he would have surely been beaten to coma, he had then called his father who had then called the commissioner of police to get the cultists arrested, they ran through the forest without knowing where exactly they were heading to, luckily for John the men had not collected his wrist watch, he checked the time as he was running, it was 4:20 pm,as they continued running one of the male corpers whose name was Chidi fell and twisted his ankle, they had already ran far ahead before TJ looked back and noticed what had happened,none of them dared go back to rescue him, John felt sorry for Chidi as the men pounced on him and dragged him back, oneman dragged him as the remaining 5 continued the pursuit, as John and his friends ran on they jumped over a pit which was full of bones and skulls and produced a bad odor, John concluded that that was probably where the men dumped the remains of their victims, they ran and turned left but the men kept pursuing them, they arrived at a cliff which had a river at It’s bottom, Johnand his friends looked back, there was only one thing to do |
Re: The Adventure Of Corper John (part 1) by Nobody: 8:41am On Oct 02, 2014 |
John looked down at that river, it was flowing fast, he looked atTJ who nodded at him he looked back and saw that the armed men were closing in on them,he held Joy’s hand and said we alljump at the count of 3 okay, by then the men were 50 feet apartfrom them shouting stop! stop there! With Joy’s hand inhis Johncounted 1, 2 , and at the count of three the youth corpers Jumpeddown the cliff, by the time themen got there, John and his friends were half way down the cliff, the men turned back disappointed,Bison was going to be mad atthem……….. Splash! John and hisfriends landed into the river, they tried to swim as the strong river current carried them along, he held on tight to Joy’s hand,no matter what happens he’s not going to let go, he didn’t bother much about TJ, he knows he’ll be fine, he looked back and saw that the other male and female corper were doing well, they journeyed along the river as the current continued to push them down the river, John’s heart raced as he sighted something that looked like a crocodile ahead of them, his heart pounded evenfaster as they got near it, it was then he realised that it was just alog of wood, he felt relieved as his heart beat reduced, he and Joy held on to the log of wood as their Journey continued, TJ looked to his side as he saw monkeys on the trees beside the river chattering and jumping happily, for one second he wished hecould take their place, he had had enough worries for that day, he looked at John and Joy floating away with the log, he smiled abit, he knew John liked Joy a lot because he had told him abouther before, he had never seenJohn go crazy about a girl before,at least he was happy for John whose dreams were coming true but maybe not the way he had wanted or imagined it, the riverslowed down as it brought them into a larger river, this was probably the end of the river , he thought, he was right, it was the end of the river but the beginning of a new journey as they felt something like ropes pulling them into the river, they tried toscream for help but their words became bubbles as they were dragged underwater The corpers struggled for air as they were drawn down deeperinto the river, suddenly a bright light shone and they all became unconscious……………………………………………………………Joy was the first to wake up in the unusual environment, as sheopened her eyes a tilapia fish passed in front of her, she wasshocked as she noticed they were underwater and she could breathe, John and the rest too woke up and were shocked but amazed that they could breathe underwater, as they tried to move they realised that they had been tied down by some mysterious sea plant, as they tried struggling to free themselves a voice echoed ‘what are you looking for in my kingdom you worthless and wicked humanbeings ‘? They looked around but could not find anybody, you fish eaters disgust me and donot deserve to be alive, I don’t know why my daughter rescued youpeople from the drowners but you are going to face the panel tonight, it was then that the merman showed his self to thecorpers, he was very handsome and had a the trunk of a human being and the rest of his body from his waist was like a fish,John had heard of mammy water, he had even seen them inmovies like H2O but he never imagined it was anything as beautiful as that, the merman swam towards them and looked attheir faces before swimming away, then another figure approached them, it was a mermaid, the most beautiful thing TJ had ever seen in his life, she came towards them and told them how she had rescued them from the drowners, she also told themthat her father, the king hated human beings and was goingto put them on trial, if they were found guilty they would be eaten byfish, she also told them that they had to pick one of them to betheir lawyer and that they hadan hour before trial, she then swam away, they spent the next 45 minutes debating who wouldbe their lawyer as John and TJ both studied law, they finally agreed that John should be their lawyer as he had taken good decisions for them, they had not waited too long when some huge mermen came to lead them to trial…WATCH OUT FOR PART 3 3 Likes |
