(Flash Back........Matthew and his crew) Jerry was totally reluctant when he was asked by Matthew to accompany him to the NPLC. They were all on break from mutant school and as usual, were given some time to explore the outside world before they would be called back to school.So he was quite stoked to have a pleasurable time at some hotels with some beautiful ladies and ending it all at the beach as he rides the waves to the sunset. He had it all planned out, until Matthew told him to cancel his plans and tag along with Sabrina and Melissa.Matthew was regarded as a genius in the mutant school and was respected by a lot of mutants. He was an advanced grade mutant whom Jerry got acquainted with during an inter grade tournament.Matthew had rescued him from being almost killed by his opponent and because of that, he developed great respect for Matthew. In the mutant school, like every other societal system, you needed someone of a higher status and power to depend on as a way of survi
"Honey"-----no answer "honey"-----still no answer "honey!!! " "Yeah yeah yeah...you don't need to yell you know, I heard you the first time " "Oh really?" Margaret stared at her absent minded husband whose eyes were still glued to his phone. "You do know you are late for work right?" Margaret asked still staring at her husband, this time a hint of impatience was evident in her eyes. "You were yelling just to tell me that?" Bob reluctantly tore his eyes away from his phone only to behold the growing annoyance in his wife's glare. "Oh come on.....am only a few minutes behind schedule, besides Michael would come pick me up". "Well, he's not gonna 'pick you up' while you are still in your shorts, now would he?...besides why would you always believe everything Michael says...what if he doesn't come?" "Well, he will come" Bob replied confidently, still nonchalant to move from his position. "Well, I demand that you get dressed for work young man" "Give me a break, am half dresse
"Where is the little girl?" Gabe asked glancing around. "What little girl?" Abe replied casually, sifting through his tools. Gabe had to stare at Abe, as if looking at an idiot. Abe got the message and stared back at Gabe scratching his head "guess she ran away". "Really?" Then they both froze. "Shit!!" Moving left and right, they both began a frantic search. "Damn! Can't believe we were so stupid!" Gabe kicked a lamp stand in rage while coming out of the bathroom. In their line of work, one thing that was scary to them was making mistakes, which could result to an early grave or worse; behind bars. And now, they just made a huge mistake by forgetting about the little girl. "You don't think she ran away right?" Abe asked. "I hope not, for both our sakes!" Gabe gnashed his teeth. "We still haven't opened the safe yet, we need all the time we can get". "Well it's not as if she can call the police or anything, I mean she's just a little kid". "Oh really?" Gabe glared at Ab
"Abe!!" after gaining back his thoughts, Gabe couldn't help but call out to Abe who was still dazed on the collapsed sofa. He snapped his head back to Tina whom was now walking towards him with that strange look in her eyes. "Hold it right there kid!" Gabe couldn't help but take a fighting stance 'Wait, am feeling threatened by a five year old girl?!' "Gabe! What just happened?!" Abe stood up slowly while massaging his swollen left cheek. "Abe, you okay buddy?!" Gabe replied, quite relieved to hear his partner's voice, but still kept his eyes on the strangely calm little girl. "I will repeat again, who sent you?" Tina spoke again "That box in your hands, how do you know that it was here?" Tina asked pointing at the box that Gabe was holding. "Answer me!!" this time Tina's voice showed her anger. "What the hell little girl?!" Abe couldn't make sense of what was going on "I don't know what you are talking about little girl, but I suggest you stop this foolishness or you'll get
"Hey Bob!" Bob was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Michael's voice. "You okay man?" Michael stared at a dazed Bob. "I have been calling you for the past 30 seconds" "Uh....sorry, I was just reflecting" Bob replied with an awkward smile. "Well, you better reflect us outta here, cos you're driving" "What's our next delivery location?" "You remember Mcnelly pizza? Well he has a stock supply of 100 cartons of extra-large pizzas and he has 50 cartons booked for delivery" "Old Mcnelly makes mean pizza" Bob replied getting on the driver's seat. "Yeah got that right" **Ring------ring** Bob checked the screen of his phone, before he picked the call. "Hey Preskey, nice of you to call, how you doing man?" **Hey Bob! Hello, you hearing me man?!** "Hello, I can hear you, what's up?" **Your house man! There's been a break-in, gun shots were heard, the cops-----** "Hold up!" Bob straightened stiffly "What the heck are you talking about?! Who broke into my house?!" his breath
Officer Stanley raised an eyebrow "is that all?". "Pardon?" "Is that all you kept in the safe?" "Of course, that's it" Bob said spreading his arms. Officer Stanley scanned Bob's face for a few seconds before shifting his gaze to Michael who seemed to have no idea of what was going on. Nodding his head thoughtfully, he opened the safe and took out a panel revealing a hollow compartment. "We found this during our investigation, which explains the fact that there was something of significant value which was carefully hidden within this safe". Shifting his gaze from the safe back to Bob, he asked "ring any bells?" With a more confused look on his face, Bob shook his head, "no it doesn't, moreover....." pointing to the hollow compartment "I don't remember that being there when I installed the safe" "What do you mean?" "I mean it wasn't there when I first got this safe, I would have remembered it" Officer Stanley seemed to fall in deep thought. "Please believe me, I have nothing
Stepping out the door, his phone rang again. *Ring.....ring* Seeing the caller's name on the screen, he frowned and hesitated to pick it up. Waiting for the ringing duration to end, he inserted his door key into the keyhole and locked the door. *Ring....ring* The phone began ringing again, this time he had to pick it up. "Hello mom" he said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice. **Hello son, how is everything?** "Am okay" he said grudgingly. **I called to let you know that your sisters just finished their promotion exams and will be coming home soon** "Yeah okay" there was a short pause "is that all? cos I have things to do" Hearing the annoyance in his voice, his mother scolded **come on son, don't be like that. Aren't you happy for your sisters?** "Of course I am, why wouldn't I be? I just have somewhere important that I need to be right now" **Oh you mean work? You have a job now?** she assumed expectantly. "Ehm...no I.....am going for an interview" Tisane close
Staring at her elegant figure, Tisane couldn't help but imagine holding her in his arms. Even if it's just for a second, it would all be worth it. 'Oh Melvina....so pure, so beautiful' Tisane felt his heart beat faster and his face become very hot and flushed. As he was having his romantic fantasies..... "Hey everyone! Tisane's here. Time to get this party started!" Ibrahim's yell was like a grenade blasting away David's romantic thoughts. Turning his gaze to Ibrahim, Tisane had the urge to palm his face when he saw Ibrahim stupidly smiling and winking at him. 'Gosh.....this is so embarrassing' Tisane thought, hoping Melvina didn't catch on to the awkward atmosphere. "Is that you Tisane?" "Oi, Ibrahim's right, it really is Tisane!" "Haha....so you finally arrived Tisane?!" Due to Ibrahim's yell, Tisane's arrival became known to everyone. "Well, well Tisane you took your sweet time!" Bayo said as he came over. Tisane smiled as he saw his childhood friend embrace him in a
