Chapter Seventeen

Andrew was still buried in the mud with the men looking at him. He could not understand what they were saying as they seem to be deciding his fate.

One of them bent beside him and dipped his massive finger on his cheek, turned to his colleagues and mumbled gibberish and they acknowledged with a blink then the three of them walked away.

" who are these giants? What do they want with me?". Andrew thought.

They lit a fire at a far end of his left. They backed him busy with something. Then hung across the fire a huge junk of meat. From where Andrew was it looked like skinned human leg.

" could they be cannibals? Had they checked him to know if he was ripe for the eaten?". This brought a massive panic on Andrew." I don't want to be eaten or, I rather die and be thrown in the river than be eaten". He cried.

One of the men came to him with a bowl, and emptied the content; a dust on Andrews face. He stood watching at Andrews reaction. His colleagues were also interested from where they were seated.

Andrew fought back and sneeze, and finally let out a massive sneezing. The man nodded and brought out a fabricated axe. From his back and bent towards Andrew.

This was it! The final moment of his life. Alas, the belly of the giants his remains will end up. He closed his eyes and prayed it was a quick death.

The axe fell on his chest on top of the mud. He repeated it over and over until he met Andrew's chest.

Andrew opened his eyes looking at his killer's ugly face searching seriously at the spot to hit him.

The man dropped the axe, used his hand to pull off the mud from Andrew's chest until it got to Andrew's tummy. He pulled it off and examined his injury. It looked a bit better. Then he pulled off the rest mud from Andrew and his full body naked.

Andrew was surprised. He was still not comfortable. He tried to move his body but felt stuck.

The man carried him up like he was a light log of wood and started walking into the inner dark part of the cave.

Andrew wondered if that was where they would butcher him, but he knew struggling would be a waste of time. So remained calm and pray for the best.

As they proceeded, he could hear sounds of dropping water. In the desert? But he kept quiet as they proceeded. And finally got to a place where water was dripping from the rock and had formed a pool underneath. The man dropped Andrew in the pool.

Immediately Andrew opened his mouth buried his face in the water, drank a belly full before he settled in. It felt so rejuvenating.

The man stood watching him. Then came closer and murmured. " hmmm!".

Andrew looked up at him. He murmured again. " hmmm!". Beckoning Andrew out of the water.

So Andrew struggled up and looked at his injury. It was almost healed. Could these guys be the good guys?''. He thought and staggered out.

The man caught him and carried him again to the place they were and dropped him on the floor. One of his colleagues threw the man with Andrew, Andrew's trouser. And he handed it to Andrew with a " hmmm!". Andrew gently retrieved it and he walked to his colleague and sat with them at the fire.



Susan sat lost in the room wondering what the lady meant. She wondered if there was something else to the fever?. She stood up and tried to peep through the window but met just dry land.

She sat and prayed Abdul returned. First time she wanted to Abdul around.

Abdul stopped Ablah at the camp. The girls were outside waiting impatiently.

She rushed to them and led them to the awaiting Volvo packed with a driver inside.

Usman surfaced from nowhere and shouted at her ignoring Abdul who was about entering his car.

" why are you late? The elders have called twice now! Where the hell did you go to! Don't you know your duty to the elders comes first?".

Ablah stood with her face to the ground stealing glances at Abdul to defend her.

Abdul stopped half way into his car and turned to Usman. " what is your problem? Didn't see she came in with me?".

Usman turned to Abdul and walked up to him. Everyone feared the outcome of from what want to happen.

" when an elder forgets his place he gives room for insult. Where did you go to?''. Usman asked looking Abdul in the eyes.

This was unbelievable. Nothing mattered to Abdul more than knowing he is in control and this man was about taking that from him in the presence of his subjects.

Abdul smiled and scratched his head then became serious. In a swift swing grabbed Usman by the neck slammed his back on the car, took out his pistol and pointed it on his head. Made to pull the trigger but fought back the rising urge with great difficulty . Usman didn't show any sign of fear, he just smiled facing Abdul with a daring looking in the eyes.

" please sir! Please don't do it". Ablah begged kneeling behind Abdul.

Abdul hesitated fighting himself bitterly. Then he finally said to Usman.

" the next time you try this...i will put a bullet in your skull without thinking". He then hit the butt of his gun on Usman's mouth. Pushed him off his car, entered and zoomed off.

Usman smiled and wiped the blood off his mouth. " you will pay with your life for this!". He murmured to himself then turned to Ablah who was still kneeling looking downwards. " what are you still doing here! Get the hell out of here!",

The ladies hurried off to the packed car.

Usman smiled again looking at the vanishing tail of Abdul's car and walked way.

Abdul got to his tent. Sat in a wooden chair, his body still shaking. He tried to keep his hands still but couldn't. He wished he had killed that bustard. But the consequences was grievous because usman has the backing of the elders.

" I must kill that man. I must kill him some how. He's gradually coming after me. I can't let him! Never!". Abdul bellowed. Angrily stood up, threw everything off his table. Yet he didn't feel any less than he felt.

Chapter Eighteen

Abdul drank some tea and went for prayers. Returned to his tent, took a food flask and a ten liters of water, put it in the front seat of the car.

Two prisoners were being taken away escorted by three armed men. Abdul stopped them and asked where they were off to. They told him Usman ordered them to bring organs.

" Usman?". Abdul asked.

The three men exchanged confused glances and slowly nodded. Abdul smiled and walked to his car watching as the men hauled the blindfolded and bounded men at the back of a pickup van and drove off.

Abdul stood beside his car gnashing his teeth in anger watching as the van disappeared into a bend. Then he returned to his tent brought a bag which he put at the back seat. He looked around if anyone was watching before he entered and drove off.

Usman had been observing from behind the ladies tent. As soon as Abdul was off, he quickly rushed into a Volkswagen Beatle and followed him from a safe distance.

" if you're harbouring that African bitch. I'll make sure the elders hears it. I pray my suspicions are true so I can finish you". Usman said as he drove.

Abdul had no idea he was being followed. His mind was on Susan, what if she is carrying his baby? The thought of that gave him mixed feelings of good; because he loved her and two; how was he going to keep her safe?. Maybe he can force her into converting into his faith, by so, she'd be immune and could even be allowed to marry him. He nodded at the second idea. But what if the baby is not his? His face frowned. He didn't want to say what he was thinking, which is to cut open her tummy and bring out the little bastard.

He swerved to a bend and continued. Usman came to the bend and halted. Stepped down and peeped. Abdul had gone far enough, so he rushed back to his car and followed Abdul's tire trails.

Abdul passed through a small town with old structures and continued driving. He then drove into an abandoned building some distance away from the residence, packed , alighted and stylishly looked around if he was being followed. Then opened the front door took out the water and food. Opened the back seat, brought out the bag and put them on the floor. Then he took the bag and food in to return for the water.

Usman surfaced from his hiding and snuck into the building, hid at the back and peeped for Abdul to come out.

As soon as he heard footsteps, he took cover. And Abdul took the remaining in not suspecting anything.

Susan sat waiting for Abdul to come in and when he did she stood up and asked hastily.

" what is going on?".

Abdul looked at her beautiful face and prayed he was responsible for her pregnancy. He gently dropped the water beside other things he brought in and looked at Susan. She was dying of curiosity.

" you carry children...child". Abdul said demonstrating that she was pregnant.

Her eyes widened. She screened through her memory for the last time she and Andrew were intimate: it was four months ago, they had been too occupied preparing for their trip and after they travelled they were always in the open until they were captured.

She looked at Abdul in shock, shook her head and began crying width her hands on her mouth.

Abdul's face turned into a wide grin. He is the father. He moved slowly to her and said.

" I go guide you. Plenty money I give you. Clothe, chain, fine, beautiful everything I give you".

She moved away from him crying.

Usman had entered the building and had been eavesdropping at the door. He heard their conversation and smiled. He then snuck out, entered his car and drove off feeling over joy.

Susan turned to Abdul and couldn't believe what she had done to Andrew. How would he feel if he found out about her pregnancy? Worse of all, she was with the seed of the devil himself. She swore she'd kill herself.

Abdul suspected she would harm herself if he left her alone, he knew he would need to employ a guard to always monitor her. To buy time he laughed and said.

" lie! You sick very well. I call good doctor. Ablah no good. You carry no children. No. Me lie".

She slowly stopped and screened him critically to know if he was playing pranks. He seemed to be enjoying the joke as his face was covered in a large satisfactory grin. She prayed he was actually playing pranks. So she sat on the floor looking at the food he had brought.

" you hungry?". Abdul asked, moved to bring the flask, dropped it in front of her and opened it.

She didn't move. Her mind was troubled. She suspected she may be pregnant even though she doesn't know how it felt to be pregnant.

" eat, me stay or go?". Abdul asked.

She didn't answer. She had lost her appetite.

Abdul then covered the food flask. " I go, I come back. No worries, I come back".

She said nothing.

He stood up and wanted to hug her but turned and walked away.

He returned to the camp and was about entering his tent but Usman came out from inside. He was shocked to see Usman coming out of his tent.

" what are you doing in my tent?". Abdul enquired.

Usman smiled and faced Abdul eyeballs to eyeballs. " where are you coming from?". He asked sternly.

Abdul's anger had almost reached explosion limit and was going to make a move but Usman quickly added.

" you're hiding her in that uncompleted building right?".

These words neutralized him like deflected balloon . His shoulder dropped abruptly as he wondered how Usman knew. He turned immediately towards the other ladies tent thinking Ablah had slipped.

" Ablah? She's not coming till tomorrow. I followed you. I saw it all". Usman said with a smirk.

Abdul winced at him in surprise. How did he not notice anything. He immediately thought of a lie to defend himself with.

" I kept her there to catch her husband when he comes here looking for her. So you're following me now right?".

Usman smiled and said.

" the elders has ordered me to kill her. We have no need for them anymore". Then he smiled, looking Abdul's troubled face he whispered. " I know she's pregnant".

Abdul's eyes widened. He knows nothing he assured himself, the pregnancy could be Andrew's.

" go ahead and kill her". Abdul said, pushed passed Usman and entered his tent.

Usman looked after him smiling. Then turned to the two guards waiting for him and shouted so that Abdul would hear.

" lets go get that bitch. Remember we are to tie her to our car and drag her here so that we can skin out that evil seed inside her. Now call the others lets go!".

Abdul was completely paralyzed when he heard that. He knew he had to do something, but the consequences was far beyond what he could trade. Then he thought of it again, his two good for nothing wives had not been able to give him a child and now this African beautiful girl whom had stolen his heart had proven he was not impotent.

He looked outside and saw the men were already getting set to leave. What would he do? He thought in confusion with his hands on his head walking aimlessly.

Chapter Nineteen

Usman and three armed men arrived the building and packed. He alighted and examined the surrounding with a haughty look, then motioned his men in.

Susan heard footsteps and stood up wondering who Abdul had come with. The door shook violently and she moved backwards with her back on the wall as she dreaded what was behind it.

A sudden thud sound slammed the door open, and behold four men stood looking at her. She almost fainted. She couldn't scream or say a word, he legs shook tremulously and her heart almost stopped throbbing.

Usman slowly entered looking at Susan. He walked towards the petrified lady, searched through her face and smiled nodding his head to why Abdul had kept her. Again he smiled thinking how Abdul would feel after her had transformed her beauty.

He came closer and held her jaw lifting her face to his. She flinched and tried to look away but he held her face steady.

He suddenly let go of her jaw and pushed her hard against the wall to study her features. A thought crossed through his mind and he grinned maliciously, turned to his men and asked them to hold her still on the floor.

Susan eyed the two men coming for her in fright and tried to resist but the overpowered with ease and pined her to the ground.

Usman smiled, ordered one of his men standing behind him to go first.

A tall well fed smiled gratefully and moved towards her as the other men struggled to keep her hands and feet still. He pulled up his jalamia looking down at the struggling Susan.


Meanwhile, Abdul had arrived the premises, packed some distance away from the house and walked in still not knowing what he was doing.

He moved circumspectly closer to house and heard Susan's cry for help. He jerked and immediately ran inside to meet a man lifting up Susan's gown and was about mounting her.

Abdul impulsively brought out his pistol and fired at the man. He fell beside Susan. And the whole party turned towards Abdul in alarm.

Still holding his gun, Abdul moved into the room trying to tame his confusion pointing at everyone.

Usman seeing it was Abdul smiled happily, his wish had come true.

Abdul pointed the men off Susan. And she jumped to her feet and rushed to hide behind him crying.

" what have you done? Killing a brother over an infidel?". Usman said in a relaxed tone, smiling and shaking his head pitifully.

Abdul knew he had crossed the line by killing a brother unjustly, he knew he had to put up a reasonable excuse for doing it. To compensate for what he had done, he ought to surrender Susan. But with Susan's grip on his waist crying in fear, he couldn't bring himself to do the needful. He slowly moved out with his back still wielding the pistol at the men who were looking surprisingly at him except for Usman whom didn't stop smiling.

" your guns and car keys!". Abdul commanded.

" let the girl go and we will forget you did anything bad. She's a dog and you know it! An infidel!". Usman said pretending to be reasonable.

" the guns!". Abdul yelled wilding his gun at each one of them.

Usman nodded at the men and turned to Abdul still smiling.

The men dropped their guns on the floor and Abdul turned to Usman who was still hanging his at his back. Usman smiled and dropped his as well.

" pick them!". He told Susan.

She turned to him in a surprised look. Abdul nodded at her and forced a smile. She then swallowed her fears and gathered the three guns, bundled them to her chest and raced back to hide behind Abdul.

" the keys!". Abdul commanded Usman.

Usman tossed it on the floor and placed his back on the wall with his arms folded looking at Abdul with a smirk.

Abdul picked it up and moved out with the gun wielded at the men. He shut the door but the lock was already damaged.

" go outside, wait". Abdul said to Susan.

She immediately rushed out with the guns and stood at the entrance waiting for Abdul.

Abdul turned to Usman who seem to be enjoying himself and wanted to explain himself but stopped, hesitated a little and ran off.

Usman brought out the pistol buried under his waist and shot the remaining two men dead.

The sound of the gunshots startled Abdul, he looked behind him and rushed out expecting to meet Susan, but met the guns lying on the floor.

He ran to the jeep Usman came in and checked inside. She wasn't there. He ran outside where he packed his car but she wasn't there also. He kicked the tire in anger cursing himself for letting her out of his sight.

There came a gunshot. He immediately docked behind his car and peeped. It was Usman, he was out hiding at the boot side of the jeep.

Abdul made to enter his car and escape but thought of Susan. She will be at risk without his protection. He cursed again hitting bitterly at the door of the car.

Another gunshot fired. This one was an AK 47. Abdul returned the fire and took off.

Usman peeped and saw Abdul running, aimed to fire but he disappeared through a bend. He them smiled, opened the jeep and took out a walkie talkie.


The chairman sat in his white bathtub in a sparkling white bathroom smoking a huge Cuban cigar watching the news displaying on a large TV on the wall.

A beautiful Arabian girl in pant and bra covered in gems, wearing a loud make up with perfect groomed hair, adorned in golden jewelleries on her ears, nose, navel, necks, waist and hands came in with the chairman's golden walkie-talkie.

" you have a call sir". She said In a sexy tone and smiled.

The chairman didn't take his eyes off the TV, he just beckoned her over. She handed him the phone, kissed his cheek and walked away.

The chairman still did not bother to look at her, he just took off his cigar from his mouth and muttered.

" who!".

Usman stood as though the chairman was before him when he heard his voice.

"As-Salam-u-Alaikum," . Usman greeted.

" who is this?"

" it's...it's... Usman sir".


" yes, what is it". The chairman sounded impatient.

" Abdul sir".

"yes, what about him?".

" he is keeping one of the goods".

" why would he do that?"

" he is sleeping with her and got her pregnant!".

" okay, so what does that matter? I don't care what he does to them, as long as he provides them when needed". The chairman sounded casual.

" not that sir. I accosted him about it and he killed three of the brothers and I barely escaped with my life!".

The chairman sat up not believing his ears." You said what!?". He yelled.

" yes sir! There's an evidence of gun fires here sir!".

The chairman nodded and said between clinched teeth. " from now on, you're in charge. Get me Abdul alive. Not dead! Alive! I want to know why he betrayed us".

" okay sir!". Usman said, trying to hold back joy.

He looked around and let out a loud laugh. Finally he is the leader. But he frowned at the idea of getting Abdul alive, that wasn't going to be an easy task.

Chapter Twenty

Andrew sat with his back on her rock and legs folded watching the giants cut open a large animal that looked like goat. He wondered where they caught it from and other kills they bring in every other day.

Andrew hasn't forgotten about Susan. He was still recovering. And once he pleaded to leave but received a "hmmm".

It's a week since his recovery and doesn't know for how long he had slept while recuperating in the mud. He had tried to escape severely, but the rock on the exit was immovable. He felt like a prisoner since he wasn't allowed to leave.

One of the men turned to him and beckoned him over. He waited a little, then stood up with a hand on his side and limped to them. The biggest tapped a little space between him and the two other two for him to seat. He dreaded their sizes and eventually sat. He was like a five year old child amidst them .

One handed him a knife to skin the goat with. He took the knife that felt like a machete in his hands. He fumble with it while they watch. Suddenly there was an explosive laughter that startled the knife off his hand.

One of the men retrieve the knife from him and carefully sliced off the skin while they hmmm him to watch how it's done. Soon the animal tissue was left all that was left of the goat. It was a clean job he did. Then he dropped the skinned part aside.

It was then Andrew noticed their clothes, bags, sandals where made of animal skin. But it looked more like refined leather than a raw animal skin.

They put the goat across the fire and watched it roast silently.

The three men were of an instinct giant clan now living somewhere around the Sahara Desert away from human habitation. Their places of abode were usually in rock caves and top mountains where man can barely locate them.

They have been discrete enough to have kept their existence hidden to man. They operate only at nights and are careful to leave to traces.

Their sizes ranges from 10 foot tall, which are considered short. And the tallest amongst them were up to 15 foot tall. They have the strength of thirty powerful normal men. And are also herbivorous and carnivorous by nature.

Andrew ended up in the hands of the three siblings who moved away from their clan to living in a secluded rock. Mutum, the oldest and strongest, Hilo, the second and Mikote the last.

The day they adopted Andrew: They were inside taking their siesta when gunshots woke them up. After awhile of waiting in silence, a thud sound, they peeped and saw meat. Quickly, they observed and saw no one coming. The youngest, Hilo went out and retrieved Andrew, was about taking Khalid too when he heard footsteps. Immediately he cleared his tracks with his foot and disappeared into the cave. It was when they made to cup Andrew open they discovered he was alive and decided to save him.

But the three siblings are not as carnivorous as the rest of their clan because they only dead humans.

These siblings lost their parents as a kid in a battle of supremacy which always takes place whenever any feels he has the power to challenge and rip people off their hunts. As hunting was their only occupation; humans and animals alike.

While the waited for the goat in silence, there was a crackling sound outside and the men turned abruptly towards it. Mutum who acts as the leader nodded at Mikote. He stood up walking like a big gorilla towards the rock door.

He peeped through a fabricated hose and turned with his face beaming expressionlessly. The two stood up and joined him up. They peeped and started discussing in their gibberish. Hilo ran in and returned with three spares.

While the men were still talking. A violent impact exacted on the wall outside and shook the cave. Andrew stood up in alarm. What could be that strong enough to shake a mountain. And to think of it, it was dark, no idea of the time, but it should be anything around past nine.

There was a mighty thud sound moving about and another impact, the place shook. Andrew moved farther away backwards looking completely petrified.

After the siblings had come to a resolution, Mutum placed his hands on a side of the rock covering the exit while the other two stood prepared. He pushed with great strength and the rock rolled over. The two rushed out and he followed behind.

Outside stood a fifteen foot impressively built man with something like a tree trunk from the root in his left hand and a rock carved into a batting in his right hand breathing heavily.

The three men moved skilfully around the man whom was bigger than each. Mutum was the biggest and he was twelve foot tall while Mikote and Hilo were Eleven foot tall.

" you stole from me! How dare you steal my catch!". The man roared in their tongue.

"Boko stop this! The kill was ours. You keep taking every catch from us. We can't take it anymore! It ends now!". Mutum said moving cautiously around Boko.

" so that's how you want it? I'll use you three for dinner in replacement for my kill". Boko bellowed and roared, then spun, swinging the tree and the bathing towards Mutum and Hilo. They both docked rolling on the floor.

Boko jumped some nine feet high into the air with his hands up and landed with a huge thud sound swinging his tree and this time it caught Mikote in the chest and threw him against a rock.

Mutum and Hilo threw their spears at Boko, he wield it off with his weapon and threw the tree trunk at Mutum and simultaneously raced after it, before Mutum could catch it, he had used his batting on Mutum's leg lifting him off the ground and landing on his face.

Hilo jumped on Boko's back before he could use his batting on Mutum's head, grabbing his neck. Boko struggled to break free but couldn't. Mikote and Mutum stood up, grabbed their spears and joined their brother.

Mutum rushed towards Boko and pierced his right leg with it, while Mikote pierced his left thigh. Boko roared, still standing and with great strength threw Hilo off his neck into the air and caught Mutum by the neck, slammed his head on the wall and held him still with his massive hands strangling him by the neck.

Hilo ran inside and grabbed the knife beside the goat, while Mikote grabbed Boko's necj trying to pull him off Mutum.

Andrew caught a glimpse of Boko's scary feature and hid himself more into the darker part of the cave behind a rock.

Hilo rushed out with the knife and stabbed Boko in the back twice. Boko roared, let go of Mutun's neck, turned sharply trying to get the knife off his back. Mikote pulled a spear from Boko's leg and drove it into his shoulder. Boko sagged on a knee and stood up again. Looked around in despair as the brothers were coming heavily on him and took off.

The three brothers ran after him as he limped running. They were almost close to catching him when the ground between them and Boko burst open splashing sand everywhere and two men of Boko size jumped out from the sand with axe in their hands and Boko smiled maliciously at the surprised brothers.




Susan hid at the back of a building peeping and breathing heavily. She heard gunshots while she was running. She prayed Abdul was killed in the process. But would he be preferably better off dead? She asked herself as she peeped, then shook off the thought.

She was close to the town. Where she was hiding was a residential home made of old bricks and crafted in an ancient middle East architectural design and so was every other building in the main town of which most were a storey.

She knew she had to continue running, knowing Abdul or Usman maybe closing up on her. Where would she run to? She had no idea. She looked puzzlingly around and Immediately began running towards the town.

She stopped running when she entered the busy town. She had no foot wear on and her hair was unkempt. She discovered everyone looked at her as she moved carefully with her face down.

The sound of an approaching vehicle spooked her, she turned and saw a black Honda civic. Without delay, she took to her hills creating a scene, pushing her way through as she ran looking behind her like a troubled animal. Then stopped and hid at the back of an old storey building beside an opened wooden window.

The car drove past, it was a normal civilian cruising in his ride. He didn't even notice it was him Susan was running from.

She heaved a sigh of relief and it was then the noise from the town, the to-fro of pedestrian, the buying and selling, the people eyeing her suspiciously became visibly audible.

She looked around and noticed a fat lady in hijab and long black gown looking suspiciously at her from her left. She sat on a stool washing at the back of the house.

Susan bowed and slowly left.

She kept looking around walking aimlessly. A jeep like the one In the camp came out of a bend and started moving towards her. She froze in shock, and immediately moved to a table where a chubby sampled some caps, Holy books and materials and stood with her hand on the table, face down.

The seller stood up and asked suspiciously if she wanted something in Arabic. She ignored him, her mind was in the approaching jeep. The man moved closer trying to look at her face while he asked again. Her eyes was at the car behind her driving pass. The men then pushed her off his items, by then car had past and she immediately started moving forward ignoring the gibberish they man was throwing at her.

She was walking fast aimlessly looking behind her and bumped into someone who grabbed her and said hastily.

" no shout! You shout I say you thief!".

The voice was unmistakably familiar, she slowly looked up to behold Abdul's face.
