Chapter 33 THE GIRL WITH 9X9 LIVES
Ava was bathing and humming loudly in the bathroom whereas Emma was soundly sleeping in her bed when she was suddenly brought back to reality from her dream world by the loud Soud of ringing from her phone. She opened her eyes grumpily and yelled:
“Sister you better shut up you are disturbing my rest, and I would like to go back once I am done dealing with this caller calling me by 9am in the morning. Like what-gives…” Ava kept quiet after her sisters ranting.
“Hello! It'll better be for a good reason you are calling me this early Darla…”
“Damned it! Emma quickly; check your news feed!” Emma yawned and checked the news feed on her smart phone. As she was reading the news her eyes grew wide open in annoyance. She screamed at the top of her voice.
“Shit! I thought we were passed these. Wasn’t she going to Mexico for good? What changed? What happened? Damn it”
Ava came running out of the bathroom with her towel wrapped around her chest.
“Sister what happened?” Emma showed Ava everything. And she was stupefied. It was just like what sister said the other time; she is a cat with nine x nine lives.
“Sister I am shocked but not very surprised. Remember what you said about her having many lives. I think you were absolutely right. We have to be on our toes” Emma turned to look at her sister. She was still shocked about Mahina’s news. She held Ava’s hands and led her to sit on the bed so that she could talk to her:
“Sister, you don’t understand why I am shocked. It’s because the very plane she was supposed to take to Mexico had a bomb fixed in it. And it went off that morning she took off. We made sure she was in the plane before we left I and Darla. Hence my shock sister. Do you get it.” Ava covered her mouth with her palms and said:
“You went too far sister! What the heck is wrong with you? I know this was all Darla’s suggestion… you better stay away from that girl and let’s work just the two of us” Emma sighed and glared at her sister:
“Shut up Ava! I didn’t go far, if I did, she would be death. I don’t care if she is death because I am not about to let everything our mother worked for go down the drain…” Ava’s phone rang, and she quickly picked it up seeing that it was from work.
“Hello sire!”
“…”
“Mm-hmm yes sire I will be there shortly”
Ava turned off her phone and went into their closet and started getting dressed. Emma got up and went after her sister.
“What did he say?”
“He wants me to interview the pilot of the plane that crashed some days ago. Thankfully there are no deaths only casualties” Emma left the closet and went to sit on her bed. Her sister finished dressing up quickly and went out of the room wearing a high heel shoes. She yelled to her sister as she went out of the room:
“See you later sister I will let you know when something comes up”
After Mahina’s meeting with Luther. He gave her an assignment to interview Mister Patrick Nathan the pilot that drove the plane that went into an accident due to the bomb blast.
Mahina was dropped in front of Elites healthcare by the Media house driver. She saw a lot of other reporters and journalist there. They were all struggling to get an interview with the pilot but the hefty security men there wouldn’t let them through. Mahina did as she was instructed. She went straight to the entrance and showed them her permit. The guard scanned it pretty well before letting her and the camera man behind her in.
Ava was among the crowd, and she saw everything that Mahina did. Although she couldn’t hear a thing, she just observed carefully with her eyes. The next minute she went out of the crowd, and did exactly what Mahina did, but she was not permitted to go through. She was devastated. She took out her phone and called her sister and told her everything. Emma replied her saying:
“Let’s experience how her luck runs out firsthand when we go old school on her. Just remain inside send us the description of what the vehicle she came in looks like. We will ambush her and destroy all her video records. Make sure you remain there and keep trying to get into that hospital so that we don’t raise any suspicions.”
“Copy that sister!” she turned off her phone and continued with the struggle.
Meanwhile Mahina was already seated with Mister Patrick. She was smiling at him from ear to ear. She found that the man was quite friendly and lively as she was interviewing him.
“Mister Patrick, you flatter me too much. You are a real gentle man, and it was nice having this interview with you. I wish you quick recovery.”
“Thank you for having me, Miss Mahina. It was a pleasure” he smiled at her brightly.
Mahina gave him a peck on both cheeks before she left the room where he was being treated. As Mahina was leaving the building many reporters and journalist that saw her there started taking pictures of her. She smiled brightly as she left and went into the car that brought her.
“Let’s go mister Adams!” Mahina sat relaxed at the passenger's seat. She was smiling at how well the interview went. She was happy that for the first time she had an uninterrupted interview with an interviewee. Back in the days. It was always one problem or the other caused by her sisters.
She took out her phone and started texting Dora. She was so occupied telling Dora about everything that, she didn’t even know when they passed a group of hoodlums beating up some people. The driver driving her smiled mischievously at the sight of the people getting beaten up. Meanwhile the Camera man was rather shocked. He tried telling him to stop but the driver drover away. Mahina suddenly heard their voices while she was chatting and asked:
“What is the matter?”
We just past some people getting beaten up and I told him to stop so we can help, and he refused.” The driver glared at the camera man and said:
“Life is simple, but I don’t know why people like you like to complicate things. Now if you had told me to drop you off on your own and go my way, I wouldn’t think twice but you wanted me to join you and fight those hoodlums mmhmm and you are looking like a crayfish that hasn’t been fed since you are small, look at how smallish and lanky you are looking. If I had stopped, they would have beaten you silly… and thought you a good lesson. You want the two of us to go and fight six people hmm?”
The driver hissed and the camera man couldn’t say a thing either. Mahina was speechless. Mahina arrived at the media house together with the driver and the Camera man. The mood of the place was still tensed so Mahina spoke to the two of them:
“Mister Adams I understood your concern, but June wasn’t wrong either. It’s good to help people but when you know you can’t simply call the police and report the incident instead of just leaving it behind like that. Those people could be death you know. Mister Adams please apologize to mister June. What you said wasn’t nice at all.” She smiled at both of them and said to Mister June:
“I think you have a great body mister June just like someone that I know. Besides I think that you are cute.” She winked at him playfully and left.
