” RECKLESS REKKY”
©️Opeyemi O.Akintunde
When Tony returned without Mirabel and Austin, Mayor heaved a sigh of relief. Mayor saw Moko and Tony having a conversation. He wondered what they were saying. He knew Tony must have met Mirabel’s absence. He was grateful
“Joan…tell Moko not to send Tony out today and tomorrow! He will bring a strange girl.”
“Mayor keep quiet… I have heard enough of your ranting. I gave you a simple advise to run and you didn’t follow!”
“You did? When?’
“You didn’t receive my text?”
“No! My phone!” It suddenly dawned on him he was not with his phone.
“Guy, you are not here on excursion, Moko is going to ki|| yEMIou!”
“Help me Joan! I need to get out of here.”
“I can’t…I did my best by giving the warning earlier which unfortunately you didn’t get”
*******
“Rubber is hiding Mayor’s family!”
“Now I know Mayowa is working for Rubber. He knew we were going to try to get his family, so he acted real fast!” Tony said
After a long silence, Moko faced Tony with a hard look…
“Do everything you can do to get enough ladies today. I want Rubber to know I am the DON of this business. Afterwards, I will ki|| Mayor as a message to him”
“Yes boss” Tony said bowing before leaving his presence.
*******
“Going out today again?” Martins asked Rekky
“Is there a reason why I shouldn’t?”
“After everything the guy said yesterday?”
Rekky laughed mockingly.
“I knew it… so you paid that scam to scare me?… I am scared!” She said pretending to be scared.
Martins shook his head in pity.
Rekky packed her overnight bag while Martins watched.
*******
Four hours had passed and no sign of Tony. Moko had paraded the Deposition unit thr_@tening Mayor several times.
“I swear, I will ki|| you and everyone related to you if you don’t tell me what is happening. How much did Rubber pay you to bring me down? Tony has not been able to get one fowl all day.” Moko said referring to women as fowls.
” I have not spoken to Rubber in months. I only spoke to God when you ki||ed me in the future.”
“You know what? You are mad! And I know the cure to that madness”
“You want to ki|| me?”
“No, I want to ki|| your wife and son!”
“You don’t know where they are! And if you will force it out of me, it will be a futile effort because I don’t know as well, she ran away from me.” Mayowa said confidently
Moko looked at him ridiculously…
“And you think I won’t find out?” Moko replied
Moko looked at Joan without saying a word. The silent communication was loud enough. Moko was asking Joan to search out where Mayowa’s family was. As soon as Moko stepped out, Joan looked at Mayor…
“I am sure you don’t expect me to say no to Moko. I am sorry.” Joan said to him
Mayor knew better than trying to win Joan over. He knew she was a lady under authority.
“God, why give me a second chance and you are not helping me to achieve what I need to do?” Mayowa thought angrily
“You never asked for my help” The Holy Spirit said to him but Mayowa was too angry to hear Him.
******
“Hotel 23!” Joan told Moko
“Hotel 23! Same hotel Osmond was going to be the next day!” Mayowa reasoned.
“What is special about the hotel?” Mayowa asked himself
“Get them immediately!” Moko said loudly so that Mayowa could hear.
“God, please let Mirabel and Austin escape!” Mayowa prayed silently
*******
Mirabel had this feeling to get out of the hotel.
“Hello babe, I want to go spend some time with my uncle who lives closeby!” she said over the phone to her friend
“Why?”
“ I just have this feeling to get out of this place!”
“ Fine.. just be safe. I know what is wrong with you. You are just tensed!”
“ Maybe!”
Mirabel had this sense of urgency in her body, like she had to be somewhere. She picked up her son and dashed out of the hotel. She stopped a cab, and as she was about to get in, Tony saw her back view.
“Is that not her leaving?”
“Seems so!” One of the boys with him said.
“Let’s follow her.”
*******
“Madam, is someone following you?” the cab driver asked.
Mirabel looked back and she noticed the vehicle with three fearful looking men staring at her.
“ My Goodness!, I don’t know who they are… please can you drive faster…”
******
“I think they are aware we are trailing them. They are speeding off.”
“Get them before we lose them!”
The driver increased his speed to catch up with Mirabel’s cab, but what they didn’t expect was waiting ahead for them.
The Police!
