PART 31
“RECKLESS REKKY”
©️Opeyemi O. Akintunde
Rekky got to the parking lot , the doctor had arrived and there was no way she could get her car out of the compound.
Tams her best friend was calling her line.
“Just the perfect call!” Rekky said.
“Girlfriend that likes to chop life! Where on earth have you been? Your husband has been dialing my number without end!”
“I am in soup!”
“Hot or cold? So I can know how to save you?” Tams said laughing but stopped abruptly when she didn’t get the same vibe from her friend.
“It must really be hot! What’s up?”
“Osmond was a scam and a ritualist. You know my pants he has been taking as souvenirs is actually for a purpose. Obviously, I am a plan well executed, as we speak, I am pantless as he took off with it.”
“Wait! Slow down and start this conversation from the beginning again!”
***
Mayowa got into Moko’s car. He had taken the offer, but he was going to come back without a fowl. He was just going to drive around town and waste the entire day. That way he won’t have to pick up Rekky.
“What route are you taking?” Moko asked.
“I am going east!’
“Good luck!”
“Bad luck you mean!” Mayowa said within.
***
As soon as Mayowa drove out, Moko walked towards Mirabel.
“I know your husband so well, I trained him and I can tell when he has his mind made up. He is going to return with nothing. He is just going to drive around town and come back saying he had no luck getting fowls, but guess what would happen afterwards? I will slaughter you and your son right in front of him. So if you know how to pray, this is the best time to do so. Pray your husband brings me a fowl today!’ Moko said.
Mirabel didn’t like the tone of the man and he knew he was perfectly correct. She knew Mayowa was not going to bring a fowl back.
“God! please you didn’t save us to ki|| us, please give my husband a fowl in exchange for our lives!” Mirabel sobbed softly

Doctor Mike’s wife was speaking to the police officer at the counter.
“It’s unlike my husband, he wasn’t at the hospital last night, and even up till now, he has not answered his call.
“His phone is ringing?”
“Yes!”
“Madam, are you sure your husband is not doing collaboration with another woman, these days we have a lot of entanglements!” the police officer said laughing.
“I will not take that insult officer, my husband is a responsible man, not someone with a dirty mind like yours!”
“Ha! Sorry Madam, just trying to help!”
“No, you are not helping by insinuating that my husband is with another woman, the help you can offer is to help track his phone to his present location to be sure he has not been kidnapped. The ambulance he took out was found abandoned around June Junction. Does an abandoned ambulance give you the feeling that he is with another woman? Not forgetting the boy that was shot dead around that place. I am not the one who studied criminology but every right-thinking person will know he must have been abducted! And may I let you know… I am a Barrister,” she added in a masculine voice
“Sorry, Madam! We didn’t know you are one of us. We are both enemies of criminals,” the officer tried to save his face.
“Sir!”
“Madam, the thing is… you know the Law, we can’t take in the case of a missing person until after 24 hours.”
“Ok, I will just call the Inspector of Police!”
“Madam, you didn’t let me finish my statement. I was going to say, I am going to jump protocols for you.”
Mrs. Mike shook her head in disgust.

“Rekky, this is bad. We need you to go see the hottest pastor in town, so you don’t die just like the prophet said. Or what about the prophet, do you know where he lives?”
“No! I didn’t give him audience!”
“Ha! this is really bad ooo!”
“I am coming over to your place!”
“My Place? Why?”
“Let me guess, you don’t want me dying at your place!”
“No, I am not what you need, you need to go to a church!”
“Fine! Terrible friend!” Rekky ended the call.
She tried calling Osmond’s line the fifteenth time, but it was still unreachable.
She needed to get out of Osmond’s estate. She flagged down an approaching vehicle,
“Hello.. Sir… good morning can you help me out of the estate gate, I will pick up a cab from outside the gate.”
“No problem Ma’am,” Tony replied.
“Thank you, you are a lifesaver!’
“It’s my pleasure!” Tony gave a broad smile.
He couldn’t believe how easy it was for him to catch a fowl that early after his failure the previous day.
This fowl was not getting out of his vehicle.
