I have a few questions to ask you ma'am " He said" Go on " Grandma permitted him.Robert cleared his throat " Firstly, ma'am, you talked about locations but you did not mention the names of these places.Secondly about the van, where will it be and when would it be arranged?Thirdly, Reuben would come on his motorbike, so are we supposed to take him with his motorbike, or are we to take him and leave his motorbike behind?" Robert asked.Grandma smiled." Those are good questions Robert. Now listenThe car will be here in five minutes and you will be introduced to the doctor.The car would take you to the first and second locations by the driver. I have everything under control on that side.Now the two locations would be unknown to you, to avoid any discrepancies.

THIS IS FOR YOU TO PROVE YOURSELFReuben joined a new delivery company in the city as a delivery man.It was not a hard one for him to get as he was experienced in riding a motorbike and the company needed delivery men on the urgency.His days as a delivery were cool until he received a notification one day to deliver a pack of food.He rode quickly to the office for the item and was somehow confused by the address.He seemed to know the address“ This address looks family to me " he thought as he left the front desk where he had just taken the order.He shrugged and walked towards his motorbike. He sat on it and input the address and lo and behold it was the residential address of his ex wife Louisa.He appeared shocked and cross checked to see if he had made any mistakes but no, he was right.He smiled and heaved a sigh.“ I wonder about her facial expression and her words when she sees me deliver her food to her.” Reuben thought as he roared the motorbike to life and rode quickly

You will understand later.Meanwhile, one of our enemies goes down tonight" Grandma murmured and sank into a chair wearily.She heaved reached for her phone and glanced at the screen " no update yet" She murmured as she placed down the phone beside her.She drifted off to sleep unknowingly but was brought back to life by the vibration of her phone . She checked and it was a notification which stated " survey done, area clear" .She read the message and smiled." This is the beginning of the end, " She said .She stood up and went downstairs.The sun was shining brightly and everywhere seemed coo

ATTACKED BY ARMED ROBBERSReuben rode through the highway at top speed, overtaking vehicles regularly but carefully as much as he could.He followed the map closely.After about 20 minutes of riding on the highway, he turned onto a lonely path.The road was tarred and good, but there were no cars and humans around. Only an overgrown bush that looked like a mini forest on each sides of the roadHe sighed and rode at normal speed steadily anxiously looking ahead.He rode on that road for about 10 minutes and slowed down. He slowed down such that, a man who was jogging could easily go with him at the same pace without much stress.**************After Robert and his men had patrolled enough and everyone had found a spot to hide, he called all of them back together and spoke to them.“ Ok so we are set now and the target would be here soon.Remember the rules and don't make any

WHO WON THE BATTLE AGAINIt was a little after 4pm and there was not much traffic on the road so he speed on in a bid to get home early He knew the office would be closed by the time he got there Reuben was pondering over the whole incident and how it happened while on his bike.Reuben drove straight to the accommodation provided by the delivery company for its delivery men. It was well after 6pm when he got there. Reuben parked his bike at the designated place and secured it.He hurried inside his small room and rushed into the washroom.He gushed water on his face as much as he could for about a minute and stopped.He breathed a heavy sigh as though he was just recovering from the shock he had experienced earlier.“ That was a close escape back there” he murmured to himself.He cleaned his face with a towel and went back to the room. He laid on his bed flat with his back.The whole incident began to replay I'm his mind.He could not tell whether or not this was a robbery attack

THE NEW MANAGERReuben woke up in the middle of the night following a loud rumble in his stomach.He stood up and entered the washroom once again. He emerged about 15 minutes later looking all freshened up.He went straight to the kitchen and took a bottle of drink and some biscuits.After eating to his satisfaction, he sat down and began thinking about what he was going to do about his manager.If he could set him up in this manner, then there was something behind the setup and probably someone.However, he had different ideas and thoughts from the first one.“ What if he did not set me up? What if it was a coincidence? What if the gang were on their own and just wanted to kidnap someone. What if the manager was innocent? '' he thought.As he pondered over the whole issue, Reuben thought of a way to find out the truth from the manager. That is; of he intentionally set him up or not.After si

THE BEAUTIFUL WOMANThe policeman froze in shock as he viewed his iPad screen.He clicked something on the screen and after a few seconds he breathed out a sigh of relief.Finally, he spoke.“ Well, Mr Reuben, the feedback is in. The profile information of the recipient was traced to a man, however, as we speak, this man in question is dead.That means, the account is untraceable to anyone in particular.Now with the address, I must say you are a very lucky man because if it was a hundred meters lesser than that, you would not have the place alive.That area is the territory of a notorious and wanted criminal. But , from our intelligence, he was not in the area nor were any of his men. This can only mean you are safe for now and we will work on your protection. But for the robbers we are still working on them to get them arrested as soon as possible” the policeman explainedThe manager seemed relieved.“ Thank you very much sirs, we appreciate your efforts and hope you are able t

THE SECOND CHANCEGrandpa smiled and flipped the last flipper away and it revealed the portrait of a beautifully dressed woman.He looked at it with a smile but the smile vanished in a second after recognising who the woman was!!!He blinked three times continuously and slapped his cheeks a little to confirm if he was dreaming but no he was not.He shook his head vigorously and gave out a smile again.Grandpa Roland was quick to notice the change on Reuben's face. He looked at Reuben as he blinked and slapped his cheeks. Then he watched as he shook his head vigorously and wondered why he did that.“ Do you not like her son?” he questioned Reuben.Reuben smiled and shook his head again.“Can this man excuse me for a moment please?” Reuben demanded.“ Oh yes sure…” grandpa said, then turned to the man. “ Alex, thank you for your work, I'll talk to you later okay” Grandpa said and dismissed the man.Alex nodded and left the room quicklyAfter Alex left, Reuben heaved a sigh and spoke

As they sat down weeping, a knock came on the door. “ Come in please” Madam Rebecca said The door opened, and a guard walked in. “ There are some people here to see you ma'am” the guard said.

He had an ID in his hand and a paper in the other hand. “ My name is Mr Andrews, and these are inspectors Jack and Jill, we have an arrest warrant against Mrs Evelyn Anderson, and we

You are welcome ma'am" one of the policemen who knew her greeted her as soon as she entered." I want to see Louisa now," she fumed, ignoring the greeting from the policeman." Certainly ma'am, you have to wait for just a few minutes. I will be right back with you, " the policeman said with a dry smile and walked back in.Grandma stood in front of the policewoman at the reception.She looked at her with a deadly look, and the woman did her best to avoid the gaze and ignore her.Grandma stood there shaking vibrantly.She could feel her knees hurt from the stand, but she ignored the pain and stood there.Her only aim at that time was to see Louisa and speak with her, and that was exactly what she was doing.After standing for about three minutes, she was already losing her patience.Just

Is this what your plan led us to? In prison?" Louisa screamed out to Jakes when they were arrested.All she got was a caution from the police to keep her mouth shut, with the addition that whatever she said at that time could be used against her in the court.Louisa knew that was the end.They had been caught in the act, and she was sure that the boys were going to confess that Jakes was their leader.She was caught with Jakes at the same time at that scene,

Excuse me ma'am, there is a parcel for you," the guard said as soon as he walked in." Who is it from?" Grabdma asked " There is no sender's address, only the delivery address, and that is here." The guard said.He handed over the envelope to Grandma.Grandma took the envelope and muttered a " thank you" as the guard left.She was curious as to who would send an envelope without a sender's address.Grandma did not touch any of his cutlery. Instead, he opened the envelope to see the contents.The envelope contained a single sheet.She took out the paper and read the contents of the paper."

THE PLACE WHERE IT ALL STARTED"What is going on here?" Annabelle asked in surprise.She could not just fathom what was going on, although she knew she was just about being kidnapped.Reuben held her hand and led the way back to the car, away from the sirens and the people who were being arrested. " What just happened here? Why is Louisa and that man being arrested? Who are those men? " Annabelle asked all at once." Let's sit in the car and speak for a bit.There are still a lot of things you need to know, " Reuben said as he unlocked the car with the remote.He opened the door for Annabelle to sit down and closed the door.He walked to the driver side and sat behind the steering, roaring the engine to life." I'm ready for the questions now, but before to ask, let me begin with narration," Reuben said as he drove out of the parking lot and out of the premises." I know you have a lot of questions. First of all, our date has not been canceled. We are on our way to a new restaurant.

So we are going there earlier, so we can monitor their movements, they should be there around 5pm, and we should get there about ten minutes before them.Everyone else is ready over there, and this should not take a long time.We will pull out quickly, " Jakes said.Louisa nodded.She was okay with the explanation and how things were go
