Blood 4 Blood

*Episode 12*

As soon as they finished their discussion, they went out and I heard the superior bark again, ”tell Aliyu to leave that food and guard this door quickly”, i smiled to myself, eating and standing shortly after means he would have a lot of fatigue to deal with, hence he would be easy to take down,
i knew that too well…… After the heavy thudding of their boots had faded down the corridor. I cracked open my eyes, just in case there was anybody left in the room.
After sweeping the room visually and was satisfied with the emptiness of the room. I threw the soft linen off my body,folded it neatly in three layers.
I had noticed a first aid box beside my window which was hanged neatly….
The window was very close to the bed so I could reach it without standing…. As I stretched my hands to detach it,
i looked through the window and saw several army vehicles leaving probably conveying the guys that had just conversed in my room while several others stayed behind.
I had been right after all, these men belonged to the military..
My escape from here was going to be a tough nut to crack!!…….
Having noted that, i skimmed off the bed with a groan and noticed my scar covered body….. hmmm!!! these people really dealt with me.standing beside my bed,
$i opened the first aid kit and something struck me immediately,
there was a cannister labelled chlorine gas in the kit…
”what the hell was a chlorine gas cannister doing in a first aid kit”
But I really didn’t need to know as far as it would help me out of here.
Removing the cannister, i re-attached the first aid kit, tip-toed to the door and peeping through the key hole I could see the guard lamenting on his continuous guarding duties.
I made a brief calculation in my head, scanned the room once more with my eyes.
All I needed was five minutes to bring down this guard, the quicker the better!!!.
I walked over to the bed,picked up the neatly folded bedspread and the chlorine gas cannister and walked back to the door,
it was now or never!!…. summoning all my strength, i kicked the trolley beside me containing metal medical instruments…
it landed on the ground with a loud clatter……As I had expected, the tall guard opened the door and rushed into the room with his gun in his outstretched arms,
i stuck out a foot on which he tripped and fell losing his gun in the process. He had fallen on his face and wasting no time, i had rushed to him pinning him down with my knee on his spinal column, i used the bed linen to cover his face and pull backward…..”phooooo” I sprayed the contents of the gas cannister on his linen covered face as I held my breath.
He struggled violently but I was up to the task.
It had taken five minutes to get rid of the guard exactly as I had calculated…..
Walking over to the window once more, i noticed I was on the fifth floor of the hospital complex…. leaning down,
i picked up the dead guards gun….
It was too late to turn back now...
