KINGS
EPISODE 151



ODUMODU IS DEAD........? Chief Carlos boom out... Stroked in his voice.....

"That's what Mayo just said.... "Buzo replied... Still a bit skeptical...

"How did that happened.....? Carlos quickly ask.. With muffled lips...

"He said he had an accident.... Someone took him to the hospital but he didn't make it...... "

Carlos slack-jawed his eyes..... "This isn't good...... "

"Are you thinking Carter is behind this.....? Buzo ask when his expression changed.....

Carlos scoffs.. He jut his chin.. His glass of wine in his hand.... He still couldn't believe Odumodu is dead........... "Did Mayo say where he was coming from when he had the accident..... ?

"He didn't mention....., I can't still believe.... Odumodu is dead...... "

"Something is wrong...... "Carlos muttered with clenched teeth... He quickly gulp down the remaining wine left on the glass... Then he drop the glass on the table and it made a cranking sound...

Buzo didnt say anything... He just stood and look at Carlos... Odumodu death news still ringing afresh in his head.....
He quickly recall the call that was placed to Carlos.... Someone knew what they did five years ago..a female.........

"The timing can't be a coincidence..... A look alike of the dead prince comes to town and one of us end up dying after a few days....... "Carlos said....

"What if it isn't him......? Buzo queried....... "What if you are wrong.. He could be Ferico Carter...

"He could be Pious..... "

Buzo sniff.... "If he's Pious, how did he got so much money......we took everything his father owned..... "

Carlos sat back on the chair.... That was what worries him.... How did he get so much money......

"Look Carlos.. You could be making a mistake thinking he is Pious when he is not... We have an issue on our hand now.... We need to find that girl that called you...whoever she is..... We need to know what she knows.... Then we'll put her down.. We can't risk anything that will open what we did five years to the public... It will be disastrous to us.... And we have 24hours to do that...... "

They turn thier attention to the door when it cranked open.....

"Chief someone drop this for you..... "One of Buzo thug said walking up to him.....

"Who sent it....? Buzo ask collecting the envelope from him....

"A guy... He said it was for you..... "

Buzo signalled him to leave...

The thug did as he had said...

Slowly Buzo open the letter... He brought out the folded sheet of paper from it.... With curiousity he unfold it...eye opening.. His head jolting into collision.... He gaze at the words written on the paper....

"What is it....? Carlos ask when he saw the shock expression etched on his face......

Buzo quickly give him the paper to read out himself.....
Consternation sinking in... Carlos knit his jaw....... He widen his eyes as he read the words aloud..... "I know what you did five years ago.... You have 24hours to go to the police station and confess your sins or am going public..... "he groan as the last words drip from his mouth...... "What nonsense.... "he yelled.......

Just then.. Carlos phone rang again... He quickly pick up the phone.. It was chief Azuka calling...... He emit then he answered the call.....

"What's going on Carlos.....? Chief Azuka's crocked voice sounded....

"What is it.....? Carlos ask...

"I just got a letter saying.....i know what you did five years ago, you have 24hours to go to the police station and confess your sins or am
going public....... "

Carlos groaned.... "We got same message......

"Who could be sending us this message.......? Chief Azuka blared out... Consternation in his voice....

Carlos huffs.... "I have no idea but we are searching for her.....

"A her.....! Chief Azuka hollered... Shock sunken.. in his voice...... "A her sent this message... Who could she be....?

"We are working on that... Soon we will get desired result..... "

"I want her dead Carlos... We can't risk anyone knowing what we did five years ago..... "Azuka yelled from the other end...

Carlos exhales...... "Call the rest of the chiefs... Ask if they received any message like that.... If they do.... "he glance at his watch...... "It's evening already... The 24hours expires tomorrow..... Let everyone come to my house for a meeting tomorrow morning....... "

With those words the call ended..... Eyes sparkling anger..... Carlos quickly called the anonymous number.... He growled when it was switched off.....

"We need to find that girl...... "Buzo said shapily....





**************************
The DPO slammed the door behind him the moment he entered his office....
He look at the files on the table... He pick one up.... He flip through the pages then he dropped it back.....

He lean his back on the chair.... He exhales when he saw his wife and little kid picture on the table.....
A smile curve his lip... He must have left the picture on the table when he went home earlier....

With a smiling face.. He pick up the picture....
He love his wife and his little baby even more than words can explain....

After the dead of his first wife he was shattered...... He thought he could never be the man he was today... He remenber how his first wife had died... Some group of criminals he was involved in their case had murdered his pregnant wife in cold blood.....

Since then he doesn't hesitate before killing anyone with a gun... That made him heartless.. Ruthless and the most feared DPO..... He sworn to protect the innocent ones bringing the guilty to justice no matter who they are.... He lived a shallowed dark life....

But that changed when he met Theresa.... His new wife who had given him the most beautiful girl.....
She changed him into the happy man he is today though his attitude towards criminals never changed.. It remained stuck....

The painful death of his first wife came revisiting each time someone guilty is brought before him.... Sometimes he takes the law into his own hands and he killed them himself.. Many times he has been suspended for his brutal irrational decisions.....

He exhales and drop the picture back on the table.... Just then a knock came on the door...
He hesitated.. Wondering who could be knocking.... With a huff he muttered.... "Open... "

A policeman came in... He quickly saluted..... "Someone brought this for you sir..... "He said giving him the envelope....

"Who brought it....? He ask curiously taking it from him

"A young boy sir...... "

The envelope in his hand.. He signalled the policeman to leave.... He drop the envelope on the table as the door close after the policeman jas left....

Curiosity of what it is... He pick it.... Brought out the folded sheet of paper..... Then he unfold it....

He adjusted himself when he saw the words written on the envelope....

A feeling of consternation swept through him... Without hesitation.. He pick up his walkie talkie...... "Inspector in my office now.... "He boom out when the walkie talkie connected.....

Inspector Kess and Philip came rushing to the office a minute later.... They saluted when they entered......

The DPO swallowed hard.. His eyes still fixated on the paper.... Then he raise his gaze to them..... He squeaked... Inhale...... "What happened here five years ago......?

Both inspectors stare at each other.....

"So many things happened sir"Kess said wondering why the DPO was suddenly interested in what happened five years ago....

The DPO exhales dropping the letter on the table..... "Let me be specific..... The late king...i believe the former was murdered in the night... Stab wounds all over his body but the case was never solved... No one caught the culprits.... ?

Kess grunts...... "The culprits were never found sir...... "

"Were never found.....

"It was rumoured that the son killed the father so he can become king.....

"But from what i have gathered since i arrived here the present king is actually the son of one of the chiefs...... "The DPO cut in...

"Yes.... The son ran away.... He never came back...... "Kess said with clenched teeth....

The DPO huffs.. Then he reclined his back on the chair.... "I see... So the case was never solved...... ?

"No sir..... "Kess said with gritted teeth... He nib his lips....

"But sir why asking......? Philip ask...

The DPO jut his chin.... With a huff he pick up the sheet of paper...... "Someone sent me this..... "he said tossing it to them.....

Eyes slack-jawed.... Both inspectors read the words on the paper....

Shock sweeping through....Kess ask..... "Who could have sent this?

For a moment.. The DPO just sat staring at the both of them... He suck his teeth then he spoke up..... "It seems so many unsolved cases has sweep away for the past years.... And for something.. This particular one came back..... "

"Sir do you think this person really knows who killed the late king? Philip ask curiously....

The DPO squeaked.... "Whoever this person is.. It seems he/she wants justice for what happened....... "He took a slight pause.... He suck in.... "And Justice is what he/she is going to get.... "

"I don't understand sir.... The case has been forgotten.... "Kess said..

"It came back.. Didn't it......? The DPO ask...... "Which is why we're going to re-open the case...... "He streched his hand towards him....

Kess quickly gave him back the paper when he realise that was what he needed......

"Find out everything that happened that day... Before and after he was killed..... Start digging up the buried dirts...... You can leave.... "

They saluted and left him there...

The DPO quickly look at the letter again..... Then he glance at the number at the button of it....

Without hesitation.. He pick up his phone and dial the number....

It didn't take long before the call was answered.....

"I got your letter"The DPO said shapily....

"Am glad you did.... "The ferminine voice came from the other end...

A jarring awe swept through the DPO as he heard a ferminine voice... He was expecting a male ......."You said you knew who killed the late king five years ago... Do you mind telling me who.....?

"Not yet DPO... I need to trust you first"The voice said..

The DPO scoff... "Trust me..... "A snort followed... "If you didnt trust me you wouldn't send me this...... "

"They will be coming to you"The voice said...

"Who will be coming to me? The DPO ask shapily....

"The murderers..... They are dangerous men,they won't surrounder easily.... I need your full hands on deck..."The voice said..

"Young lady..... Wouldn't it be a bit professional if we meet one on one.... "

"I will meet you but not now.... "The voice said...

The DPO grunts.... "Then tell me... Who are the men... ?

There was slight pause then the voice came up again..... "If they don't come to confess as they should..... Tuned on your radio after 24hours....you will be hearing their names... You will know who they are.... "

"It will be better we meet lady.... I don't like talking to ghost.... "

"Am not a ghost.... "The voice said.... "Am just someone who wants justice for the poor soul that was murdered five years ago.... So be prepared.... The worse is yet to come..... "

EPISODE 152



AS THUNDER GROWLED ABOVE... FRANCIS GRUDGINGLY FOLLOW TAKA AS HE LEAD HIM INTO THE BUSH....

Heartrenting he drag his feet behind him,not sure of where they were going.......
"Where are we going..... ?he ask when he couldn't take it anymore....

"Are you scared....? Taka ask.....

He nib his lip... Frowning at the sound of the question...... "Am... Just curious..... "

"We are here..... "Taka said standing....

Francis look at the small hut built with palm fronts and leaves..... Then he fix his gaze back on him.... "Is this your idea of not getting wet by the rain....?

Taka shrugged..... Then he walk in.. Lowering his head to aviod hitting the top...... "Come in... The leaves will shield us from the rain..... "

"Seriously......! Francis boom out.. His eyes wandering on the whatever he has built.......

Inside it lies an empty big bag that he used as a bed...

"It's getting dark and it's gonna rain... We've nowhere to go..... "

"No we do."Francis interjects.... "We can ask for help.... "

Taka chulkled.... "If someone wanted to give us shelter for the night... Trust me.. I will be the first to know that..... "

"You are crazy if you think am going to sleep here with you.... "he scan his eyes around..... "This bush.... "

"It's not really a bush... Is just a place covered with grasses and trees.. Trust me is very relaxing at night.... You feel like you're in heaven when the cool wind of the night prick your skin.... "

Francis bug his eyes at him..... "Have you slept here before.......?

"Yeah.... More times than i can remenber..... "

Francis scan around again... The bushes sending shivers to his body..... "And nothing came creeping in your body.....

"Are you talking about snakes.....?

Francis quivered at the thought of it... "Yeah that's one thing.....

"You don't have to worry about the snakes.. Am friends with them..... "

"What.....? Francis boom out

"I mean i have killed so many of them in this place.. So anytime i come here again.. They don't disturb me... And i don't know why... I thought at first they were scared of me.. Scared to die.. And then again i thought they've learnt how to live here with me.. So i considered them as friends..... "

"You are absolutely crazy if you think a snake can be your friend.... You have killed many of them which makes you their enemy... An enemy they won't hesitate before they bite..... "

Taka slack-jawed his eyes.... "Since you will be sleeping here with me.. Do i have to worry about that....

"Am not sleeping here with you.. Am not getting killed by snakes or any wild creatures in this bush..... "

"I was actually going to say.. If the snakes sees me as their enemy... To get back at me.. You will be the first person they will bite..... "

His words sent shivers to Francis... He grunts wondering what sort of human he is..... "This isn't funny Cata...

"It's Taka..... "

"Yeah Taka whatever....am.. ...

"Do you even know how i got that name.....? Taka cut in...

Francis inhale deeply irritated.....

Unexpectedly..the rain came pouring down..... Each bullets of it hitting Francis... Wetting his almost dried shirt again... Quickly without an invitation he rushed into the palmfonts house Taka has made....

The rain grew heavier.. some drop of water began to makes its way into the hut.....

Taka was right.... The leaves will shade them from the rain....

He stood watching as the water pour into the ground.. The fiercely sound of it made him remenber coccus.... The four of them taking shade under a tree.....
The thoughts of Katherine creep into his head..... He took a deep breathe wondering how he was going to live without her..... But he knew he needs to.. He took that decision the moment he decided go home.. Not to see her again.......

"So as i was saying..... "Taka said interrupting his thoughts......

"What was i even saying? Taka ask with clenched teeth

Francis glance at him... Then he turn his gaze back to the rain.. Regretting why he didn't leave earlier for Akpatu.... He listened to this lunatic... He's stuck with him here.. In a leaf house.. In the middle of the bush..... A place where wild and creeping animals call home.....

"How you got your name.... "Francis said after much silence...

"Ya.... Our community was at war with a neighboring village.... ...my father was one of the warriors who went for the war.....my mother was in labour when he left..... "He huffs then continued.... "Many of the warriors were killed in battle... My father was starved but miraculously he survived.. Do you know what he said kept him alive......?

Francis glance at him... He was barely listening to his story.... His mind was fixed on how he was going to arrived in Akpatu...... "No..... "he said shabbily

"He said the thought of me been born kept him alive.... So when he got home... I was in my mother's arm..... He lay his bleeding hand in my head and named me Taka meaning the one who is strong in battle....."

"Really....... "Francis bug his eyes at him...

"Ya... That explains my big muscles..... "He said bulging out his arm muscles.....

"Oh i see... They are very big.... Only the kind of muscles that can build this nonsense we are underneath in a bush......"

"The nonsense is saving you from getting drench by the rain.... "

Francis exhales but didn't reply....

"Do you know why i built this place.....? He ask.. More gentle in his voice....

Francis suck his teeth praying the rain stop quickly before everywhere gets dark.. He needs to find somewhere to sleep... It was better than sleeping in a bush filled with snakes... with a lunatic....

When Francis gave no reply..he trotted on with his story..... Memories began flooding back into his head...... "After my parents were killed..... People threw all sorts of insult at me. Some labelled me a witch.. Said i killed my own parent..... "

Francis quickly shift his gaze to him when he saw the seriousness in his voice

"No one but me saw the men that killed my parent.... "He sniff.. Wipe off the tear that was forming in his eyes..... The painful memory of his mother screaming as she was been cut echoed in his head....... "Most people thought i killed them myself.....

"Why would they think so......? Francis quickly ask....

He scoffs..... "I was stubborn... Even at such a young age.... I was the most stubborn child the community had... They nicknamed me horrible.... "

"Horrible.....! Francis resounded.......

"Ya..... I watch the killers buchered my parents.... They force me to watch.. To see what it means when someone cross their part.....

"Oh my God...... !Francis exclaimed with doleful eyes..... His worst memories revisit him....his screams Calling out his father as his brother drag him away echoed in his head.... "That must had been so traumatising for you.... How did you survive that..... ?

He nib his lips.... "After they left.... I pick up the cutlass they had used in killing them.. Blood dripping from it.... I was furious. My tears became rage.. All i felt at that moment was killing them back.....just then a woman saw me... The cutlass was still in my hand..... She raised alarm... Alerting the rest of the villagers..... "

"That explains why you were call a witch......?

He nodded... A layer of tear dropping from his eyes..... "People believed...they thought i was capable of doing such because i was stubborn..... "He took a slight pause.. Changing his sitting position...... "They took me to the king..... "

"And what did the king do? francis ask curiously

"He believed the crowd saying i killed my parent..... No one believed my story.... The king said i was a cursed child.. He spat on me and barnished me"

"Oh no Taka.. Am really sorry.... "

"Don't be.... It was a long time ago... I have forgotten about it.... "

"But you just told me..... "

"Yeah, we are bored... I don't have any other story to tell so i told you that.. The story of my life.... "He rest his head on the ground...... ",So i came here, to this village... I had no where to stay... I built this place.. It was my home until granny and pappy found me..... "he took a deep breathe... "Soon the rain is going to stop if you still insist on begging the villagers to take you in for the night.... You are free..... "

Francis exhales and sat beside him...... "I've slept in worst places... "

They both gigled... With that he lie down beside him.....

"So what's your story.... Not everyday someone show up in the riverbank..... Did you get lost.....? Taka ask...

Francis took a deep breathe.... The thought of what had happened creep back into his head.... Barbara fell into that river. She was the sacrifice for his return.. He wonder if he can ever forgive himself for that.. As much as he wanted to get home.. He needed no sacrifice in doing that..... He would have stayed if the princess hasn't taking decisions into her own hands.....

His mind wander to that moment.. The moment they kissed.... Her mouth on his.... Her body touching his... That intense moment...... Then the most embarrassing moment of his life surfaced.... Vuga had walked in.......

"Hello thinker...... "

He sprang back to the present when Taka's voice interrupted his thoughts....... "Actually that is a long story..... "

"More longer than mine.....?

He hesitated..... Then he answered.... "Yes.... "

"Your life must have been shreds and pieces.... "

He chulkled........ "So what happened to the men that killed your parent....?he ask anxiously.. He knew he shouldn't have ask... Shouldn't bring back that memory but he was curious... Wondering if he was feeling what he was feeling... The passion for revenge devoured him... It eats through him everyday....... "Where they caught....?

"No..... "Taka replied....

Francis inhale......the bad men are always escaping... His mind dwell on how his father's murderers were doing.. What kind of life were they living.. Who is sitting in his father's throne..... Akpatu won't be the same again.. He knew that for a fact........... "You said you were barnished... Was it possible they were caught after you left.... ?

"No..... "He muttered...

Francis exhales.. Wondering what made him so sure they weren't....."It's been long you got banished from there... They could have killed someone else and they were caught..... "

"They weren't caught and they didn't kill anyone else.... "

"Are you sure of that... ?,You were somewhere else... You couldn't have known what was going on...... "

"They didn't kill anyone else because i made sure of that..... "

Shocked.... Francis sat up..... "What do you mean you made sure.....?

Taka sigh.... A wry smie curve his lips..... "I killed them... Every last one of them........."
