“I know what to do,” I said, opening the driver’s side and stepping in.

“Are you going home now?” She asked me.

I paused for a while with a pensive look . The truth is I don’t want to leave my mum but… 
I shook my head shutting the words in my head.

“Yes, I’ll just drop you home. I might come back here.” I said.

“We could stay back and return home tomorrow.” She suggested. 

“No!” I chimed. Elena gave me a puzzled look and I maintained my answers.

“I just want to keep accompanied for the night.” she tried to convince me.

I sucked in my bottom and lips, and said. “The woman in there would keep her accompanied. That's her duty!” I yanked the door to my car opened, and slid in to the driver side while Elena still stood a few meters away from me.

I sighed. “Pleass Elena don't make this too hard for me. I need to be someone.”

As if she understood my frustrations, Elena didn't argue with me as she just walked over to the passenger’s side.

She slids without uttetong any words and that seems to ease my nerves now.

“So why do you have to hide your mother? Are you ashame of her?” she asked, with her eyes fixed on mine.

My body suddenly became tensed with bead of sweats forming wr my forehead. 
“Enough of the talk about my mother Elena.” she is so  braliliant and... I just hope she obeyed without questioning me.

“okay,” she chimed, darting her gaze away. “She looked just like you.” she said, after a smeall pause.

I swallowed not too sure of what to say so I remained mute.

As soon as I got home, I dropped Elena off and still drive on. 

But, I informed Elena about the slim chance if be getting home tonight.

My phone rang and it was the unknown number. “You have just twenty  minutes to be here else you're playing with fire.”

A smirk cut through my cheeks as I read through the message and shook my head.

This stranger kept making things to be toufh at my end.

What if I hadnt be on the road, driving?

Shit! I cursed, gritting my teeth and banging on the steering wheels.

Traffic!

Not today! Not this moment. 

I grumbled inwardly and looked through the rearview mirror to check if there was any car behind.

When I was sure that everywhere was clear, I reversed to take another shorter routes which I'm sure it will be, and there will be no traffic.

‘Damn!’  my teeth sank into my lower lips the moment I saw the numbers of cars that line up.

My instincts was pickling me to call this stranger and explain my dire situations with him.

But, that will reduce my esteem and I can't let my ego to be trampled on, not even when I'm at my lowest.

As the car in the traffic slowly moved slowly, the time also ticked tock.

I tried to be a man but I don't know why my heart beats differently in fears.

Finally, I was out if the traffic and just a few minutes to the venues, my phone rang and I thought it was just the stranger who had called but it was my spy.

I tried to call back but the number was unavailable. 

I punched on the icon button. If truly what's he wants to discuss is alarming he knows the best way to go after it.

‘What if he's in danger?’ my instincts spoke for the first time.

What danger? The other of my mind disagreed.

Stewart is a strong man, intelligent. He will never low himself to be at the mercy of anyone. 

Stewart knows what to do when it comes about that.

I arrived at the venue to park my car. I was still searching in the garage for a spot for my call.

My phone rang besides me and I picked.

A thick baritone and familiar voice echoed on the air.  “You’re late and i’ll punish you for that.” 

Before I could utter any words, the call got disconnected.

What punishment is he talking about?

‘Damn it!’ I cussed and  banged on the steering for a larger period of time, until my knuckles turned red and ached.

When did I become so vulnerable that a random men could talk to me anyhow they like?

I've been pondering over these already. Like the ways she speaks irked me.

I was pressing my phone at the same time driving.

Then in a blink a car hit hard at mine from the behind, and two cars drive to keep their pace besides mine with tinted glass.

I only have a short time to think before this car began to  hit my car as if it was a toy.

I didn't even have enough time to think when a car followed a one way and  flashed it headlight in my directions.

I killed my car engine as I realized I was ambushed and there was no possible way I could manouever my way out of this confined space.

While waiting patiently for the worst bullet began to hit hard again my car non-stop.

I didn't use my hands to block off anything. I only sat still in my car waiting patiently for death.

But, death never comes even a bullet had pierced through my shoulders blade, I winced when the sharp pain registered in my head.

The sounds of gunshot stopped then the cars that ambushed me later drive on, leaving just me and a black nylon on my bonnet.

With pain wracking through my body and the excess cold which had seeped into my body, I pushed the door to my left opened, clutching at my arms tightly.

I walked closer to my bonnet to pick the nylon bag.

It seems heavy as I picked it up in my hands. What could be inside?
I said to myself and curiosity had the best of me. I ripped the nylon open, walking back to my car to bring out my phone.

I needed to use it flashlight to see through the package.

As the flashlight in my hands fixed on the contents in the back, fury swam through every inch of my blood.

‘ Stewart!’ the words came out of my mouth leaving me in shock.
Inside this polythene were Stewart’s dismembered body.

My phone rang and it was that motherfucker.

“Look the game is on and you'll ever regret of killing my _”

The words died on my tongue at his last words. 

“You haven't seen the video? Check through your files. I sent you something to keep you as a rodent!” there was a short pause. “I hope you like it.”

The call got disconnected and when I clicked on the video, I almost ran off like a mad man, but I was quick to compose myself.

This video just show my mother’s house getting an explosions.

With my hands trembling and body I redialed the last number that call me.

But it was unreachable. 

The number called back immediately.

“I swear you'll regret of ever thinking to hurt my mother.”

A rattled laugh then the thickened voice. “Kai you can't do anything. I knke your in snd out and weakness. Next time you delayed my assignments it may be your daughter and your new profound love. By the way sorry for the loss of your mother.” 

“Eissh!” I screamed into the air.
