And here we have it.
Seeing this, the man did not waste time now. He simply huffed and then brought his foot down on the head of Lekan, smashing his jaw into the hard concrete ground. Blood splattered about just then as teeth from the inner dentition rolled out to the ground. Lekan saw stars. Or the equivalent of them. With shut eyes, light twinkling against the blank that pulled up in his mind's eye. The pain rammed against his body, setting him ablaze with several emotions running rampant. His life flashed before his eyes now. Gritting, the pain mercilessly tore through his body like a beast on a prowl. His life flashed before his eyes in the fleeting moment, the fear of death stinging viciously in his mind. Lekan pondered on just how it was going to play out. Like it was general knowledge, those who got to be labeled as thieves did not often get to live for long. At least, not when the mob was allowed to do what they wanted to do. The rare cases where the mob did not get the upper hand was whe
It is good to be rich. Oh, very good. The sound in the SUV was of a different note. The speakers in it were of high quality. It left desmon in awe of the fact that he hadn't really been living the life back then. Yes, he had a car, an old fashioned model . But compared to the black SUV he was riding in, there was a whole different experience. And he loved it. In hindsight, this was only possible because of the death of his brother. And while that had hurt him initially, the fact that he was named the Guardian of the son had left his heart in gladness. It meant that the could also have a taste of the good things that his brother enjoy.d The only thing in his way of enjoying that in totality was the brat of a son which he had. The son would not be a problem. AT least, not after today. Desmond heaved out, whistling the song which w*s being played. WIth his hands on the steering, he rocked his sunshades even though he w* snot out in the sun. It Was going to be a good day today a
Lekan's head bounced back just now, his eyes flashing as stars revolved about his head now. The pain screeched at the back of his head for what seemed to be centuries. His vision disoriented, his sense of balance tipped off, all he could feel was pain. Intense pain. And regrets. If only he did not honor the invitation that was extended to him by Blessing. His heart cursed at him. He was too weak. Feeble minded. He let a girl pull him out. Now, he was stuck in here. In the beat down of his life. He should not have come. He should have stayed put. Now, was the death that he escaped in his parents car now coming back to him? "Thief!" The man yelled out now. He pulled back his fist, thick strands of blood sticking to the knuckles. Blood that came from his victim, the boy on the ground. Lekan. But he did not care. Not in the slightest bit. His mind was shut off, his heart intent on securing the mission target on which he was drafted to complete. It didn't matter how much blo
Whoever said waiting was a nice venture? The school bell rang out now, signifying the end of the normal class activities for those who had normal classes. Or at least, it was the significance of the end of the school hours now. The visitors or those who had come to pick their wards could not move towards the school blocks for the business which they had come for. Or at least, those who wanted to get to the teacher's room could do so now. It brought to the visors at the waiting tent a breath of fresh air. This was a sign. The sign. The sign that they could finally get over seating on the metallic chair for the long period of time that they had been here. It was not a pleasant endeavor, after all. However, that did not expressly mean that those who still had papers could be reached now. The rule of the school did not allow for that as examination malpractice could still be carried out in such a way. The closing bell was only for those of the students who did not have pape
"Oops!" Was all Lekan could say as the soft mass of flesh and boobies plastered into his face. He could hardly breathe but then he did not want to complain even as Blessing hugged his head, the whole scenery looking like a lost waifu who had just found her hubby after a long time. And on top of it, Lekan found himself to be enjoying the whole hug. Blessing shifted a bit now and the boobies bounced in his face, rubbing his nose, a mesmerizing feeling shooting all over him. From the corner of his eyes, he could catch the stink eye the bully was shooting at him. Literally everyone was giving him the stink eye, if he was being honest about the whole thing. And because of that, the whole thing began to look awkward, being that they were in the school environment on top of it. Blessing must have thought the same thing as she disengaged the hug just then, pulling off with an awkward smile on her face now, her hands clasped behind her even as she played with her fingers. After a bit of
With gentle knocks, the white skinned girl with the gingerly attitude knocked against the white metallic door. She held her breath, waiting for a response while she tapped her feet in impatience. She was Leslie and just about some moments ago,she had had a discussion with the Grand Inquisitor. He had been asking her to get some dirt on a certain human boy somewhere in Nigeria. It was her first time. The first time that he would have to ask her for something like that. And if she had to hazard a guess, she knew it would most likely be because the Bureau was interested in this boy. That Was why they wanted her to be the one who kept tabs on him. But she… She wasn't really vested in it. More so, being that the mission ahd come from everyone’s least favorite person, it had rubbed off wrongly on her. Even if it had come out like some innocent mission, she could not help but shudder in the fera that this was the Inquisitor's attempt at trying to get some dirt on her too. What if this
Lekan growled, baring out his teeth now. His heart went hickey hop at the sound of the weeping and the terrified Blessing who was still under him. He frowned deeper now, taking into account the people who were all about him. For one, he knew that this was not an intended incident. It had just happened, at least from the conversation with the police which the gunmen had. They just happened to come along and had decided to use the school as hostage in securing a getaway ticket. Still, he was livid. Why Would anyone want to use a school like this? What had they done? Why would they want to think that a school like this would make for a good hostage point. Lekan could feel a guttural growl rising in his throat now. Strangely,the growl in his throat felt like it had always been a part of him. It gave him confused emotions since he could not remember how he had felt like this. For this to be somewhat familiar with him. Still, he dismissed the thought, he couldn't let himself be d
The last feeling that shot through Lekan was the sense of achievement Even as he felt the hardness of the ground ricochet against his body, a serene feeling of calm and oneness overtook his whole body. It cheated the pain from taking any effecting him. He was happy, a smile on his mental self. He had been able to protect the one who he knew. Or at least, the one who he had come to know and hold fast to. That is, Blessing. It was an achievement. After surviving the crash, he knew deep within his heart that if he had the power to stop what happened, to make the hands of the clock reverse, he would do that. But sadly, he didn't have that power. And on top of that, he had felt useless. But not today. Today, he did not have to wait for some Uncle Desmond to appear to take care of his life and stuff. This time, he actually had a say in what happened in his life. It Was worth celebrating. The triumph and the excitement it built in him, even the pain that ate at him was totally ignored.
