Blood 4 Blood
*Episode 71*
No words could describe the nerve wrecking thoughts racing through my head now as my hands shook repeatedly in fear…
Commander Lescott was barking at his guards downstairs….
Apparently he had spotted some flaws in the security detail he had planned for the night…… could he have anticipated my coming here tonight???, could he have laid a trap for me here???
A barrage of questions raced through my head for which the answers could not be accessible at this point in time……..
Gently and slowly, i let down the curtains in the dark room as I made a mental note of how I could escape the house……….
”how many guards are on duty”, i heard colonel Lescott bark downstairs…….
It was only a matter of time before they would discover the missing uniforms..
”there are four of us sir”, the stammering soldier replied…….
He was apparently afraid for his job……..
”but I can only see three of you here!!!”, commander Lescott retorted as I could hear him pacing around with his boots crushing the loose gravel beneath him into one another……He was a highly intelligent individual and I could tell his mind was putting the pieces together and he did not give a hoot whose job was on the line as long as he caught up with me in particular……….
”wey that guy wey I send to call person???”, he asked his fellow guards in a bid to redeem the very little reputation he had left…….
The commander wasn’t pleased at all…….
He paced towards the outpost, looking out the window again, I could see him looking steadily at the flower bed, he reached slowly into the flower bed and pulled out my rumpled clothes which had gotten so as a result of the effort I had made to hide it so well………
”why did he have to be so goddamn smart”, i said cursing under my breath…
He looked at the house with eyes burning like coals of fire…… ”you fools!!!”, he cursed……..
”Blood is in there”, he said pointing to the building….
there was no need to stick around now, my cover had been blown…….
Surely, there was some sort of weapon around here…….
I ran my hands over the table for some sort of offensive instrument……….
i felt under the table and felt a leather jacket, knowing the senator fully well, there was no way he would not have a weapon in his office…….
I bent down and looked closely at the metal jacket, it was a relic more or less, a ’95 shemine revolver with gold embroidery..
Pulling it from the leather jacket, i spun around to see that the commander and his men had started making their way tactically into the building……
By these dudes movements, i could tell they were well trained, this wouldn’t be easy.
I couldn’t test if the gun I held fired at all as I made my way out of the office after removing the army boots I wore to avoid losing the element of surprise…
The floor creaked beneath them as they made their way to several sections of the office…….
i could hear from the bar area…..
I knew quite well that they would be exchanging several hand gestures by now…….
el-lobo had drilled me well…….
i could see a figure making its way into the bar area in which I was standing, several thoughts stole into my mind concerning how to get rid of him quietly but something told me that another soldier wasn’t too far away..
Just as I was tussling with the dilemma I had found myself in, i heard some vibrations!!! With horror written all over my face, i stared at my device, it was Shege…. the message read clearly, ”we know where you dey”
The soldier had heard the vibration and was now headed slowly in my direction…
I brandished my pistol and pointing it in his direction, i pulled the trigger……. ”click” came the pistol as I realized with horror that it was empty…
The noise had further alerted the soldier on my position………..this was gonna be a long night……
