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
THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END NOW Reuben got onto his bike and wore his protective clothes. He carefully placed the package in its place and roared the engine of the motorbike to life.He veered onto the road and sped off to the location indicated on his map***************Adriana got into her car and drove out.Grandma watched as she drove out and sighed" I'm doing all this for us. 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
WHICH WOMAN WOULD LOVE YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE,?“ Now change my glass for me now” the lady said and walked back to her seat looking satisfied with getting Reuben fired.“ after you ma'am” the manager said and followed the ladyThe lady went to sit back at her table and the manager took both the glass and the bottle of water away.The lady sat down smiling to herself and praising herself in her head for being able to get Reuben fired on the second time.She continued using her phone while waiting for whoever she was waiting for.The manager replaced her bottle and glass and left after making sure she was satisfied.The lady received a phone call and after a minute of making the call, her countenance changed. She looked sad as she dropped the phone back on her table.She called the waiter for her bill and another waiter presented her the bill.She duly paid for the items and left the restaurant without touching any of them.****************Reuben and Grandpa Roland sat opposite each oth
