Ransome wasnt surprised. He knew they would come for him sooner or later, guess this was sooner. He glanced at THE RED PAPER once again "guess what baby.............. We have uninvited guest" ransome spoke to the paper as if it were a human being. He swiftly packed all the documents and squeezed then into an old brown suitcase. "spain here i come" he said softly as he escaped through a secret exit known only to him. He made it to the backyard and effortlessly jumped the fence, ransome ran very fast with all his strength, he needed to get as far away from his house as possible, after racing about 500M he heard a female voice scream behind him "hey!!! RANSOME!!!" he halted and slowly turned back. He was bolted from the blue to see her. He couldnt phathom how she found him. It was IRELE..........
CHAPTER TEN CONTINUES.........

Ransome sat on a sofa and placed the red paper on a table in front of him. He had a pistol revolver in his hand because he knew the spotlight was now on him. He stared at the paper with contempt and marveled at such great power just a piece of paper possesed. He picked up the paper carefully with his left hand "i finally have you in my possesion, we are going to be great together, you are going to make me rich, i am going to form a new group, the most powerful that ever lived and i shall be the leader, i will call it the overcomers no i will call us the rulers. You my friend are going to make me fulfil my destiny. He kissed the paper softly and a little smile possessed the edge of his mouth.
While ransome was still fantasizing he heard footsteps around his window he sneaked to the window and stole a peak. He saw daniel himself with a gun in his hand using hand signs to order scorpion and the other men to take different positions at designated corners

YOU CAN BE BETTER WITH........" Tina cuts in "hello girl whats up" "am not so good tina. Look i need a favour from you urgently..............."

CHAPTER TEN CONTINUES.........

Met irele a couple of hours ago. She looked behind her every two seconds like she was sure scorpion was onto her. Without hesistation the nurses rolled samson on a stretcher into the ic unit. Tess was visibly tensed as she paced back and forth the waiting room muttering inaudible words of prayer.
Irele sat completely still as images of ransome's face flashed through her mind. The hate grew stronger and stronger, her anger had never tasted such peak. The desire to end ransome ran through her veins. "TINA!!! Yes" tina was her only clue" she thought. She dipped her hand into her tight jean pocket and slipped out her blackberry Q10. She easily swiped through the screen as she searched through her contacts. She dialled tina's number and her favourite caller tune buzzed in her ears ; TO COPY THIS TUNE PRESS 1 "YOU HAVE ALL IT TAKES TO BE BETTER......UH-OH...... YOU HAVE ALL IT TAKES TO BE HAPPIER......UH-OH.......... EVERYTHING YOU WANT IS WITHIN YOUR REACH OOH......

All the copies of the red paper including the original. Irele was short of words, her lips kept vibrating furiously as tears slowly made its path down her face. "IRELE! IRELE!! IRELE!!!" tess screamed out. Irele looked at her maintaining her position. "help me out here you fool, my cousin is on the verge of death and you are crying over some stupid piece of paper" "he took it. He..........took........them. All........of.........them!!!" irele said with tears and catarrh drooling down her face. She immediately wiped off the tears with the aid of the back of her hand. She stood up and assisted tess in raising samson. They staggered as they barely carried samson down to the car. Irele was in no mood to take the wheels so that was tess's cue. Tess drove like a pro in the finals of formula one cup even if she still had the learners sign with the red capital 'L' hung behind her toyota lexus GS 2006 model. They got to the hospital in less than 15 minutes, it was the same hospital samson

Samson fell into a pool of his own blood like an iroko tree defeated by the ruthless teeths of a motorsaw. Tess rushed to her cousin with eyes heavy with tears "noo, sam please dont leave me like this i cant loose any more family, sam please!!!" she cried out in a very loud tone. Irele was unaware to these happenings around her as she stood completly still like a statue with her eyes and mouth wide open. Her brain was still trying to process the words that gushed out of scorpions gutter. 'THE RED PAPER' her brain sparked. She quickly reached for the metal box she had rolled under the bed before her encounter with ransome. She slowly pulled out the empty box from under the bed. She immediately fell back out of shock. The box was totally empty, ransome had taken all the contents in it, all the documents

EPISODE NINE CONTINUATION

Later that day we were invited to the police station by the D.P.O of our district to give a statement. We. Got to the station and found ill-fated victims of the robbery like us, but my father was the only one that lost his life that night. We all sat together on the guest seats facing the D.P.O in his well air conditioned office. "Good day ladies and gentle men" the D.P.O greeted. We were too engrossed in sniffles and tears to reply his greeting so he went on. "I understand your house got robbed yesterday night at about 1:30 AM" "yes sir" I replied "can you tell me everything that happened" he demanded. I rolled my head from side to side and downloaded everything for him. "Okay thank you Mr David" the D.P.O said. He turned to my mother and demanded her part of the story. My mother sniffed in her catarrh and wiped her tears only to remain quite for a while. "Woman please you need to talk. We need you to help us to help you" the D.P.O said looking visibly worried. "It was about 1:30 AM when we heard the gunshot" she started "I and my husband sprang up from the bed and ran towards the sitting room to find out what was going on, on our way we bumped into my son here who could say nothing but 'armed robbers'. Due to his unclear statement we decided to move into the sitting room to verify for ourselves and that was when they held us at gun point. We were asked to lie down and remain calm. They searched the whole house but couldn't find anything. I held my children tight to myself to protect them only to turn to my husband and saw him engrossed in his mobile phone. I tried to find out what he was doing to avoid trouble with these people but he paid me a deaf ear, at the speed he pressed the phone I could figure he was trying to send a message. Suddenly a particular one that had a stubborn look pointed a gun at him and softly inquired what he was up to.

TO BE CONTINUED.....

EPISODE 9

It was my father, he lay lifeless on the floor drowning in his own pool of blood. They shook him vigorously and cried out "NOOOO!!!! Papa whyyy" adaobi screamed out her throat. My mom was going crazy her scream shook the foundation of the building everyone's face was full with tears and catarrh dripping and drooling down. The touch slipped from my grip and broke into pieces on its encounter with the hard terazo floor. I fell to my knees and sobbed quietly, suddenly I screamed aloud like I have never done before. I couldn't believe my father was gone. I crawled up to him and held him tightly "please don't die, don't die on me" I whispered to him with tears dripping from my eyes. I stood up with anger "I swear I will kill them this night" I said and dashed out of the house. I ran very fast not sure where I was headed, anger and rage clouded my sense of reasoning. I was ready to battle even with a tiger if possible. I got to the road side but no sign of anybody or activity. "Where are you$? Come out" I yelled at the top of my voice. After some minutes of standing forlorn by the roadside it dawned on me that I will never get the armed robbers that killed my father. "I may never see them again" I thought to myself. "If I ever set my eyes on that tattooed guy again I will make sure he drinks his blood and eats his own flesh"I said as I used my forefinger to rub the earth and placed it on my tongue and raised it to the sky to demonstrate swearing.
I walked briskly to the house sobbing and crying, they were still on the floor crying on my fathers corpse. I partially felt guilty for my fathers death, maybe if I didn't run to my room like a coward I would have prevented his death.
I found my way to an isolated corner and sat down bowing my head. I poured out tears like spring water source. Some minutes later we heard the sirens of police and they invaded the whole area. They got to our house and saw that they were too late. My father was immediately rushed to the hospital incase his life could still be saved. The next day it was confirmed that my father was dead, two bullets had pierced through his heart and lungs and he had died instantly.

Please you guys should tell me what you think about the story so far. The places you would like to see improvements. I will be dropping episode 9 ASAP

Sorry for keeping you guys waiting oo

EPISODE EIGHT (CONTINUATION)

I had already started to picture myself with a new phone. "Am gonna miss you baby" I spoke to my phone like it could understand me. I threw the phone up several times and caught it with different postures, not long after I dozed off with my legs partially on the floor.
GBOW! GBOW! GBOW! I heard gunshots and bangs on our door. I immediately flew up from my bed in panic. My heart was racing and I was visually uneasy. There was pitch darkness and I couldn't even see my palms that were 30 centimetres away. Due to my dexterity in mental sketches I had a soft copy of my house map in my brain, so with the aid of my hands I could find my way around the house. I traced my steps in the direction the noise was coming from and found my self in the sitting room. The persistent creature banged the door furiously. "Who is that?" I yelled with anger. "Open the door now" the unanimous person demanded. With a perplexed look on my face I continued my interrogation "please we don't open door for strangers in the night". The person was obviously not alone as I could hear indistinct conversation with another accomplice. Suddenly I heard gunshots that almost deafened me, I covered my ears with my palms very tightly, after some seconds I slowly opened my eyes and realised our door was the victim of the gunshots as our lifeless door fell to the ground. I was now certain they were armed robbers and decided to run for dear life. I raced down to my room and bumped into my parents on the way. The gunshot had obviously disrupted their sleep and they looked visibly troubled "David what happened, why are you running" I didn't know what to say and the only words that found its way out of my mouth was "armed robbers, armed robbers" I said panting and pointing towards the door. "What?" My father yelled in anger and they rushed into the sitting room to confirm my allegation. I knew Mr death awaited me. If I went back to the sitting room because I had surely pissed them off. So I continued my journey to my room and locked the door behind me. I grabbed a piece of wood that was detached from a wardrobe door and broke the ceiling boards. I stood on a stool and forced my self into the ceiling. I balanced my self on a wood and squeezed my self tightly and visibly shaking out of fear.
I listened carefully and heard the voices of strange men roar like angry lions "hey everybody lie down and remain calm" one of the men ordered "our job here is simple. Bring forth the money and no one gets hurt" another man yelled. For the next few seconds there was dead silence, suddenly I heard my room door come down with a thud, someone had obviously broken into my room. He ransacked the room and turned everything upside down. I covered my mouth with my palms very tightly and tears trickled down my chicks. I could barely breath to avoid the tiniest threat of noise. POW!! POW!!! Another set of gunshots went off and I was certain it came from our sitting room. "Damn it man!!! What the hell have you done?" One of the gunned men yelled "we don't spill blood, no matter what, that our code man, damn it" "we come for the money and leave, that's it" he added. "Don't tell me about code, anybody mess with me, he goes down" the other man replied. It was obviously an argument and it was clear my family member was the victim. "Come on let's get out of here" one of them demanded. "NOOOO!!! WHYYY!!!" I heard screams from the sitting room. Soon enough I summoned courage from within and jumped down, I grabbed a torch from under my bed and ran towards the sitting room. I was early enough to witness the departure of the last group member. I shun the light to his face and he immediately shielded his face with his left arm, the whole arm was covered in red ink and I figured it was a tattoo shaped in a dragon. He quickly took heed and bolted away, I shifted my gaze to my helpless family and my jaw dropped when I saw a cherished member of my family drowning in a pool of blood........

EPISODE EIGHT (CONTINUATION)


I saw my numerous gifts align their self and I contemplated on which to open first, I scrolled through the names on the gifts and paused when I saw 'from dad'. I stared at it with my mouth wide open and wondered why my dad would send me a gift in this manner without navigating further I jumped at this particular carefully wrapped gift with dazzling wrapper sheet which featured a green bow.

I hastily tore it off and was bolted from the blue when I saw the latest nokia. I screamed in excitement and jumped at my dad. I held him very tightly to my self and didn't want to let him go. It was my first phone ever, I promised to cherish the phone for ever and ever, that was my best birthday gift yet.

But now the phone has experienced some life scenarios causing the alphabets on the keypad to wear off and it only took an expert like me to type with speed. "DAVID" papa yelled my name from the sitting room. I immediately rolled down from my bed and dashed towards the sitting room. "Yes papa" I said as I sat very close to him "how are you my son" "am very fine sir" "I hope everything is okay at school" "yes sir everything is fine" "if you need anything don't hesitate to tell me and I will attend to it as soon as possible okay?" "Okay sir" I said staring at him. We weren't the richest family but my father would try his best to ensure we are comfortable especially in our academics "I want you to pass your exams with flying colours and gain admission into the higher institution and graduate with a first class to make me your father proud" he said with a broad smile and gave me a reassuring pat on my shoulders. "Yes sir I will" I said concuring to his herculean task, "go on and finish up your assignment" he said as he dismissed me.

I stood up and headed back to my room "wait" papa said to draw back my attention. I turned to face him with a curious look, I noticed he stared at my left arm with a puzzled look. I traced his line of vision and noticed it was my phone that drew his attention. "It seems you are still having a good time with the telephone I got you eh?" He asked with a weak smile "yes sir but its just that its old and getting outdated" I said while itching my stubborn hair. "Okay I'll get you a new one of your choice next month" he added. "Ah thank you sir, thank you very much sir" I knelt down to prostrate respect and gratitude even if I couldn't see the phone in the physical yet I had an idea of the one I wanted.

The scenario put a bright smile on my face and I was ready to tell the whole world about my yet-to-be-acquired asset. I threw my self on the bed and rolled from side to side in excitement.

STAY TUNED...

I ate the delicious jollof rice voraciously and eased my throat with the chilled 5alive juice I sipped at intervals. I wiped my plate clean and not even a grain was spared from my wrath. when I was done I cleared my throat deeply and set free a good belch of digestion "thank you ma" I said to mrs akindele sitting across the table. "You are welcome my dear. Hope you enjoyed it? She asked with a smile "very well ma" I instantly replied "feel free to join us anytime" "anytime? Jeez I will come here everyday" I almost said. I gave Richard some hand signs indicating I was taking my leave we stood up together and he escorted me out, as we headed for the gate something kept on telling me I had a question or something to say but I couldn't just bring it to limelight. I finally got out of the over sized compound and bidded richard goodbye. It was quite a distance between my house and Richards. I walked solemnly with my eyes fixed to my all stars shoe, kicking any stone that stood in my way, reciting words of encouragement and famous quotes by wise men, increasing my pitch anytime my leg came in contact with a stone.

Later that night I lay on my bed surfing the net and through social media with my nokia c1. I got the phone as a birthday gift from papa three years ago. It was my first ever really celebrated birthday, a three step birthday cake was baked by our neighbour with my name inscribed on it, it was one of the happiest days of my life, most of my friends and well wishers stopped by to share a moment with me. With the classical 'DJ' present there was never a dull moment. The hit songs that kept buzzing out of the speakers were irresistible and got everyone displaying one funny dance step or the another. Soon after it was time for receiving my gift and cutting of cake "at the count of J-E-S-U-S" we all displayed our white '32' and the photographer seized the moment....
