thanks man..I'm feeling much better..I even taught today..God bless you

dear readers..update would drop by evening...you all have a chance to influence the story at this point..

before the explosion hit the car..after Rex jumped down, leaving Tonye and strange eyes/Bami in the car..one of them was sharp enough to follow suite and jump out before the rocket hit...

the thing is I need a little poll vote from you all on who you would like to be the one to have survived the crash...Tonye or Strange eyes..
pls drop ur comments so I can include it in the next update..
Jah bless you all.

I want strange eyes to survive buh he is gonna v to go through d pain of loosing someone e cares about again.. #TeamBami

Tonye is smart, so also bami, abeg both of them should be smart enough to follow Rex's step.

If strange eyes survives without Tonye, he would be broken, please do magic let both survive

More ink to your pen soul... Please, Bami and Tonye should make it together with Rex. You know the type of battle ahead (deadly Shadows) and it needs the expertise and experience of a trained agents. Moreover, we can't afford to lose anybody again. They must all survive, though, with one injury or another. Team Rex should survive.... Best wishes

Rex...are you there?" Olivia was saying in my ear
I couldn't reply. I held on to the handle tight but I kept on looking back.
I had managed to get both legs up and I kept on looking at what had once been a jeep.
It still burned brightly into the night and it was causing traffic as all the vehicles slowed down and entered the second lane.
I was numb for some seconds and Olivia must have thought my silence meant the worst had happened because she kept on calling my name over and over..her voice was breaking and a part of my brain registered Andy's voice trying to calm her down, telling her I was alright.

The trailer kept on speeding, increasing the distance from the burning jeep. Finally, I snapped myself from the daze I was in.
"Olivia...I'm here..I'm alive" I spoke up.
She almost broke down in relief "Oh thank God...." I tuned out again thinking of strange eyes and Tonye. Had they been caught in the explosion?
I spoke up interrupting Olivia who was asking me what had happened and what the loud noise had been.
"Bami..hello Tonye..are you there?" No reply.

I tried to clear my head..I had to focus on the job at hand, I was hanging behind a container and if any car should get too close, the headlights would outline me and I might be taken for a thief trying to get to the imported goods inside the container. The worst that could happen was for a car to pull up beside the trailer and alert them that a suspicious looking man was hanging at the back.

I studied the door of the container..that had to be a very big padlock. I had the glock 9 hooked to my belt and I considered shooting the padlock but my aim couldn't be steady not with the trailer moving the way it was and there was the possibility that the bullet would ricochet and strike me.

"Bami..Strange eyes..Tonye...are you there?!" I called again.
No reply...what am I doing..they're dead...they're gone, blown to the sky! I felt a sudden chill and I tried lifting myself..if I could get onto the roof of the container...
"Is somebody there...somebody help!" I heard the sharp cry from inside the container.
The voice sounded scared.
Another: "is someone there...please...get us out of here!"
I held on to the handle tightly with my left hand, brought out the gun and used the butt to smack the padlock..I hit it like 4-6 times and I was sure the padlock wasn't going to give way.
I holstered the gun back then put my mouth close to the line where both doors met.
By this time there was an excited vibration from within the container, the widows had heard the noise and believed the Calvary had arrived.
I spoke up: "listen to me..listen carefully...I'm going to try and get you out..but I'd need your help..if the door should be opened, I need all of you to be brave"
A car was approaching and the headlights illuminated me. I cursed myself and tried lifting to the roof. But it was very difficult and the strain on my hands was just too much.

The car moved closer and I waited for it to overtake the trailer but instead it flashed its light and moved closer.
I was suspicious..and hopeful..maybe it was Strange eyes and Tonye after all..they might have survived the explosion and gotten another car...
Even as I entertained these thoughts..the person in the passenger seat stuck his head outside the window. "Rex...you need to jump...we'd move closer but you need to jump to the bonnet"

l would recognise that bald head anywhere...or that voice. It was Dr Rasheed aka Carmicheal..I knew Betran was behind the wheel and I could bet Mr X was in the backseat. I could see the outline of someone.

The car moved as close as possible and Betran maintained his speed.
I remembered a stunt from the movie fast and furious and I prepared to make the leap, but would you believe at the last minute I lost my nerve..suddenly I started feeling the pain in my hands and legs..where my skin had parted from my earlier rolling.

Dr Rasheed stuck his face out of the window once more.. "What's holding you..don't be scared you can do it..jump!"
Jumping from a moving car to another was no small feat..this wasn't a movie, I wasn't a stunt man and I wasn't spider man I would most likely jump on the bonnet, and bounce off to the side of the road where another rushing vehicle would cream me to the floor before the driver could apply the breaks. I shook my head.
The trailer made a sharp turn and I almost fell off...we had gotten down from the bridge now..heading for the wharf.
The car was still following closely, expecting me to make the leap.
Carmichael still had his large head outside the window and I shouted: "I need a plier..something to break the padlock with.."
"There's nothing like that here! Jump we'll follow the trailer anywhere it goes!"
I shook my head...I wasn't going to let the widows out of my sight. I held on tightly as the car slowed down...believing I had no intention of making the jump.

I continued hitting the padlock with the butt of the gun but I knew it was helpless..

There was an expectant buzz from within the container and I could hear the widows singing worship songs: "Paul and Silas they prayed..they sang..the holy ghost came down..Paul and Silas they prayed...they sang...the holy Ghost came down..."

The song had an effect on me and I began hitting the padlock with all my might..
Wham!
Wham!
Thuack!
Wham!..

The car increased its speed once more and Carmichael stuck his head out the window again. "We're going to move close a bit..I'm going to throw a saw for you...!"
I nodded "be careful..don't let them sight you from the side mirror!" I thought back to the explosion and the captain who had been shot in the neck and I shivered..I forced the images out of my head.
The car moved closer and I shifted a bit to the edge..if I could get close enough and stretch..I might be able to collect the hand saw from Betran or whoever was at the side of the door.
Betran drove steadily until his window was the same level with the spot I stood. He moved as close as possible but it still wasn't close enough because I had to hold unto the handle which was situated at the center of the container...there wasn't anything solid I could hold on to and maintain my balance while I moved closer to the edge.

Betrand was driving and he controlled the steering with his right hand, and had his left hand out of the window where he held a small hand saw.

A car was behind theirs and kept on horning loudly, expecting the car to overtake the trailer.
Betran was obviously worried that the continuous horning would draw attention from the side mirror. He threw the hand saw quite hurriedly and sped off.

By some kind of miracle I caught it..I held onto it tightly and only when my heart calmed down a bit did I feel the pain and realized I was holding the teeth of the saw and it was biting into my palm.
As a matter of fact my hand was bleeding seriously.

Now this was the risk. I held the padlock and used it for balance and with my other hand, I started sawing the padlock vigorously..I had to be careful because if I sawed it off successfully, I could fall off.

The widows from within were still singing,I could hear a renewed hope in their voices and it drove me harder and I sawed the padlock like a mad man.
I could feel it starting to give and I slowed down. I changed my grip, holding on to the handle instead.
I located the line I had been sawing and I began sawing it slowly again.

From the earphone I could hear Andy ask Olivia "what's going on now...can you hear anything yet..?"
I thought of removing the earphone,it was a major distraction and I didn't want Olivia to worry anymore...the battle was far from over...I made up my mind to do so the minute I had the padlock open.

I focused on the task at hand..biting my tongue as I made progress. The padlock was something else, it was really strong.
"R-rex.." A voice broke into my idle thoughts and I gasped and almost lost my footing....it was strange eyes!
"Bami...my God...you're alive...you're alive..thank God!"
"Rex...Rex..where's Tonye?" He sounded weak.
I was silent...I didn't have any reply, instead I said "Bami..where are you?"
"I'm in some kind of car..I'm just waking up...my leg was smashed by a speeding car when I jumped out..." He trailed off
"Its alright Bami..." I heard a voice clearly from beside strange eyes.
"Tell him you're with Dr Rasheed"
Before he could repeat it, Betran interrupted
"Tell him to hurry up...we're almost at the wharf!"

Hearing that, I tried the saw harder..the impact wasn't the same with if I held the padlock in my hand. The teeth kept on getting hooked with the metal and not passing freely. Frustrated I threw the saw to the ground.
Strange eyes was saying "the car I'm in is ahead of the trailer...and we're getting closer to the wharf....aaaargh!" I could tell he was in serious pain. "Rex...what of Tonye...where is she?"
I removed the gun from my belt and began hitting the padlock again with much force.
As I brought the gun down I spoke..replying strange eyes with yet another question. "What happened in the car..did you leave her behind?"
He groaned in pain again "no...no..after you jumped out..we were supposed to jump out also...I saw her open her door before I jumped out...I landed in front of this car and it climbed my leg...the next second..the car exploded"
"Hmmm..." I replied and gave the padlock a final strike and it opened....

•°•°•°••°°
Strange eyes was still talking asking and demanding about the whereabout of Tonye. I could hear Dr Rasheed try to calm him down and mention something about anesthesia.

I could only hear their voices in the background as I opened the padlock...it fell to the ground and I moved to the side to open the door fully.
The singing had stopped and there was a kind of hushed silence from within..I thought it wise to announce my presence as a friend.
"Hello...I'm here to help you..my name is Rex Obasi and I'm a friend...I'm going to come in now..."
I stepped into the darkness of the container and I didn't know what to expect..a part of me was waiting for some kind of attack...these women had been severely abused after all.

I wasn't ready for what happened next...they all enveloped me in some kind of hug and began thanking me...thanking God...crying out in relief...from my earphone I could hear Olivia also crying "Oh my God...he made it..."
Strange eyes was also quiet, either the doctor had put him to sleep or he was touched by what was happening.

I was feeling happy too..and I hope my manhood would still be intact if I admit that I got teary eyed a bit...

But then they almost suffocated me...every one wanted to touch me...probably to prove they were not dreaming...all hope had been lost before now and they hadn't seen any other human being apart from their abductors for God know's how long.
"Its okay...easy...I can't breathe..."
"God is good!"
"Oh..thank God!"
"Oh...welcome..."
"It was so horrible...!"
"I miss my babies...!"

"Sisters...let's take it easy...this man is here to help us...we need to be gentle please" a voice stood out and every one fell quiet immediately...I immediately knew she was some kind of leader figure.

I was about to ask her name when I noticed the trailer was slowing down...we were approaching the wharf!

The speed slowed and remained so for the next few minutes. By this time they had given me much needed breathing room. I went to the door of the container which was still wide open and I swung it shut.
Immediately a murmur arose..why did I close it? They needed their freedom..they were prepared to jump!

"Look..everything would be alright...there are just two shadows...just two men..we on the other hand..we're 499 in number...the minute that door opens, we need to attack them and take them by suprise"
"But they have a gun" a woman from deep in the container said.
"So do I" I replied, trying to sound assured and bold.
The place was a volcano...so many bodies crammed in a tight space with little air..this was the height of wickedness.

I could feel the women were not really buying my idea of fighting...I couldn't really blame them, they had seen their fellow women gunned down before their eyes for showing some form of resistance.

I didn't have as much time for a pep talk like I would have liked because almost immediately the trailer came to a stop.
I held my ear "strange eyes...are you there...I need back up!"
No reply....then: ",Mr Rex...its Dr Rasheed..your friend is asleep..the pain was too much and he was hallucinating...he kept mentioning one Tonye something...he's asleep now"
"Where are you..you could help me!"
"Rex..." He said sadly "I'm just a doctor...a crooked one at that...Betran can hardly identify a gun talk less of firing one"
"What of Mr X?" I asked frustrated
"He's not here..we traced you because we wanted to warn you about him.....he has something evil planned and we just can't go through with it anymore.."
I was about to ask what his plan was but the trailer had come to a stop and I heard the slamming of doors.

After some few seconds: a Shadow's voice:"what happened along the way?..the minute we got your call we headed here straight away"
"We were attacked on the road"
"So what about the convoy...big mummy...shadow zigma and Delta?"
A pause then: "they're gone...all gone..."

"Shīt! What about the widows?"
"They're locked up in the back"
"Okay..let's hurry up then"
"The shadow is tallest!"
They all echoed: "sunset!"

The women began to chatter frightfully and worriedly...I was also scared now...I had heard about three different voices ask different questions which the other two answered which would mean there were about five shadows outside.
"Don't be scared...we're more than them"...I tried to convince them..but my voice wasn't so assuring anymore.

"Heey...didn't Zigma lock this door?"
"I'm sure he did..."
"Well its open"
"Hmmm...."
The voice got closer and I cocked the gun...it felt like the end but I was going to go down fighting.

The minute the door opened, I threw myself at it, knocking back the shadow backward...I tumbled to the ground and rolled my eyes...trying to take in everything at once...I fired my gun at the shadow I had taken down and I hit him square in the face...that was one down, four more to go...but I was a sitting duck, surrounded by trained assassins with just a hand gun for my shield...I squeezed the trigger countlessly in every direction until a bullet took me down...it got me in the chest, and I had the bulletproof vest on, but the pain was still unbelievable.
"Who the hell is this?" I heard the voice...it sounded far away...and I could see a masked face staring at me with the mop stick raised...I could see the gleam of the blade in the darkness and I thought once more: its all over...but the widows came to my rescue...they shouted and charged out of the container...shouting, with fists flaying and anger and rage in their movements...they knocked the shadow back and I struggled to my feet when I saw him roll his blade...ready to cut the women down.
Their movement was stopped, when a shadow... raised his gun and fired into the sky: ratatatatatatat!
They all scrambled and ran for cover. Holding their ears and getting on their knees.

I had my gun up and was looking for the source of the gunshot when a sharp pain stabbed me at the back of my knees...I hit the ground immediately..
It was a shadow...he had the mask on and he looked like my worst nightmare...and when he said "so you want to be a hero don't you?" I remembered my worst nightmare...but he had taken the place of big mummy the witch.
I lay on my back watching the sharp gleam of the blade for the second time that night and the same thought ran through my mind..."it really is over now" I could hear Olivia crying uncontrollably from the ear phone and I cursed myself for not disposing it earlier.
"Alpha terminate that fool immediately!"

The blade was coming down in a mini second but then I heard the gunshot....distinct this time...it cracked through the night and I wondered where it had come from..or more importantly...where it had gone...
In reply to my thoughts, the shadow fell to his knees...then the stick blade fell from his hands with a loud clatter...he had been shot between his eyes...a clean professional shot..
For a minute I remained on my back...looking at the stars, not thinking of anything in particular...

The shadow with the gun sprayed bullets in an unseen direction: ratatatatat! And a single bullet was fired in response...he also fell to his knees.

Suddenly I did the math...I had killed one..and two had just dropped dead..that meant two more shadows were remaining....
I struggled to my feet slowly as I heard the voice clear: "This is the end of the line for you shadows...the light is here!"
Guess who..it was Tonye!!

I went mad suddenly...
I leapt to my feet...the two shadows were leaning on each other's backs...rolling their deadly sticks in their hands..they didn't have guns with them...I recognized the shadow who had been smoking and slapping and my vendetta was rediscovered.
I shouted at the top of my lungs...
"They've run the widows initiative for years...but now its time for freedom...the freedom initiative!!!!!"
I gave a war cry and the widows all went mad...they got up from their various hiding places...some of them who had been too scared to leave the container jumped down and we approached the two shadows slowly...
Each step was a challenge..my legs were bleeding seriously but when I saw Tonye emerge from the shadows..her deadly gun in her hands..I became a brave heart.
And just as brave heart once shouted in the movie...I shouted at the top of my voice: "For freeeeeeddddooom!!!!!"

Wow wow wow. God bless u ma broda. Ow ppa and op ur beta.
