???????? Stolen Sweetheart Chapter TEN:
“Rita” I shouted and tried to get up but fell down. My hands were still tied behind my back, and I was very exhausted. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I couldn’t believe my luck.
“Rita!!!” You came for me; you came for my rescue. OMG!!! God bless you, Rita. God will bless you all the days of your long life.”
I was super excited, relieved and happy. Once again, I had escaped death. Two times death had stared me in the face, and two times I have cheated death. Thank God for Rita. A minute more, and I would have been a dead village boy. Rita came behind me and cut the ropes they had used in keeping me bound. I got up from the ground, nursing the bruises the rope had caused to my wrists.
“Rita, how did you find me? How did you know I was going to be here?”
“Don’t you feel bad that I have come to your rescue in spite of the fact that you abandoned me?” She asked.
“I am so sorry, Rita. Please, I can’t make excuses. I am just sorry. Please forgive me.”
“I already did. If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t be here., would I?” She asked sneeringly.
“Thank you, Rita. Thank you. But please tell me, I am curious, how did you find me?”
“No time for that. We have to go after The Boss. If he waits for too long and doesn’t see his henchmen, he might suspect foul play and come back to this hotel room and finish us. We better attack first. The element of surprise will give us advantage.” Rita sounded urgent.
“Please, tell me. I want to know. How did you find me?” I insisted.
“Alright, I will tell you. Do you remember the Zaddy you met in my house the night you locked me in the house and took my keys away?”
“Yes”
“He wanted you dead. He wanted me all for himself and couldn’t tolerate any rival. So, he hired a killer to kill you. The killer was Billy, The Boss. Billy would have killed you long ago. However, he was that kind of killer that if you sent him on a job, if there was a way, he would do a side job on his own. He informed his new girlfriend, Corine of the deal. Corine was the one who told him that your uncle was stinkingly rich. She was the one who brought up the idea that your death should be delayed until they succeeded to extract a huge amount of money from you.” Rita explained.
“Oh!!! Poor me!” I exclaimed. She continued.
“All those events about the boss cheating on Corine, calling you to come and take her away and Corine claiming to fall in love with you, the concern, sex and all that were fake. They were setting you up for the kill. They had two intentions. First, rob you, and then kill you.”
“My good God. Thank you, Lord for saving me.” I was sobbing now softly. “How did you find out about all this?” I asked.
“Through the Zaddy. After you rejected the pregnancy, a few days later, he came to my house and beat me up so badly for cheating. He beat me up so badly that I lost the child. Tim, I had a miscarriage and I almost died. My neighbours took me to the hospital, and, thanks to God, I recovered fully.” She said in pain.
“I am so sorry, Rita. I am really very sorry. I should have stood by you.”
“Will you shut up?! All of you men are the same; wicked and selfish.” She napped, angrily. Paused for a while, lit a cigarette and then continued. “Two days after I came back home from the hospital, the Zaddy came to my house again.”
“What?!! What did he want?”
“He said he wanted me back. He said he was sorry for all he had done to me. He said now that the baby was gone, we should get back together and forge ahead. I got very angry and asked him to leave my house. He refused to go, and we got into another fight. In the heat of the fight, I told him I have no more love for him. I told him my heart was with you. This got him angry, and he pulled his gun and threatened to shoot me. He told me you were being taken care of as we speak. He said you were going to be dead before the end of the day. In anger, and my reflexes acting faster than my reasoning, I grabbed the gun, and a struggle began. He got shot in the stomach in the process. He fell to the grand in pains. As he stayed there writhing and clutching his stomach, I shot two more times, both times in his chest and he died instantly.”
“Good riddance, Rita, good job. I wish I was able to get my hands on him myself.” I said.
“What would you have done? Slack boy.” She sneered. “Anyway, because he had mentioned that you were going to be killed, I got worried and wanted to save you. I took his phone, opened his chat with Billy and realized that they had been in contact regularly. It was through their chats that I found out you were in this town and in this hotel. I couldn’t go to the police. It was too urgent, so, I had to take matters into my hands. I dragged his body and dumped it in the boot of his car. I opened the car door, searched the car and found another gun. I got into the driver seat and drove straight here. You know the rest.” She finished.
“You have been through a lot for me, Rita. God will bless you. Now what’s our next move?” I asked.
Rita told me that we should go after The Boss and Corine. The Zaddy’s car was still parked outside the hotel, and we could use it. We left the hotel room and ran quickly outside. We got into the car and drove off.
“Where did you say the boss would be?” She asked.
“He said an abandoned warehouse at the end of the railway terminal.” I responded.
“I know the place.”
“How did you?”
“I once worked for The Boss. It was through him that I met the Zaddy. The Zaddy insisted I get out of the gang and succeeded to pressure The Boss to let me go. I know exactly where they will be.”
When Rita said this, I now fully understand how dangerous my life in the city had been. I had just come to the city and within a few months, had gone deep into the crime world of the city. Everybody I had interacted with up till now had been a criminal.
We had gotten close to the warehouse now. Rita stopped the car, turned off the ignition, handed a loaded gun to me and we got off the car. We walked for about fifteen minutes and came in full view of the warehouse. From where we lay, crouched, we could see The Boss, Corine and two of The Boss’ killers. In commando style, we crept slowly until we came close to the warehouse. Rita asked me to be ready for action, she got up, ran forward and fired two shots at close range. Rita was no ordinary gunslinger. Every shot hit true, and the killers did a crazy dance of death and slumped to the floor, beginning the once in a lifetime business of dying.
The boss turned around in anger and fear and his eyes met the pointed barrel of my gun.
“Say your last prayers, Boss?” I spoke. But he ignored me and turned his attention to Rita instead.
“How did you get yourself involved in this, Rita?” He asked, angrily. This is not your fight.”
“I have come to save my love, Tim. I love him and will do anything for him.” Rita responded.
“And you, Tim. You are a fool. We set just a small trap for you, and you fell. You spent the whole of that night, running away from my men. You thought you outsmarted them, right? Well. I am pleased to let you know that the bullet fired to your chest was a rubber bullet. The Don had no intentions to kill you, or you would be dead. The other shots were blank shots. If we wanted to kill you, you would be dead long ago. We wanted the money first. By the way, where are my men?”
“They are dead. Rita killed them and rescued me. Now say your prayers.” I threatened.
It now made sense to me. I now understood why I was shot at but didn’t die. All along, I had thought I was a superhero or had “odeishi”. I didn’t know they used a rubber bullet. Anyway, that was in the past now, and I had to make sure The Boss too became a past.
“Put that gun down.” That was Corine speaking.
“You traitor, Corine. You betrayed me. You will pay for it now. But before I do that, know that The Boss doesn’t love you. If he did, he wouldn’t use you as a pawn in his game. He allowed me sleep with you just for the money. You should be wise enough, Corine. But you are a fool. A big fool.” I told her
The boss had gotten tired of my rantings and went for his gun, hoping to silence me once and for all. I opened fire on him. I put six bullets into him, beginning from his head and down to his stomach. He was dead long before he touched the ground. I went to where he had fallen and looked at his corpse. His head was completely disfigured and looked nothing human. The bullets in the gun I used were military grade, meant to cause maximum damage.
“Billy!!!” Corine shouted and ran to where The Boss lay. It was too late for her. The Boss was dead. She sat by him and wept uncontrollably. She had really truly loved him.
Rita wanted to gun down Corine, but I stopped her, I proposed that we let her go. Her loss of The Boss would drive her crazy. I wanted her to suffer psychologically for the rest of her life. Also, she had helped saved my life unintentionally by saying that I shouldn’t be killed in her presence. That small chance gave me a new edge in life and saved my life. Rita was against sparing her, but I succeeded to convince her.
I grabbed my money bag, opened it and realized that it still contained the complete sum of my uncle’s money. I held Rita’s had and told her we should get out of there. As we made our move, Rita suddenly turned around and fired a clean shot into Corine’s head. She fell back and died instantly. Rita had noticed her reaching for The Boss’ gun that had fallen beside him when I shot him. She had wanted to shoot us in the back.
We put the four corpses in the Zaddy’s car which Corine had now brought to the scene, and set it ablaze, burning all five corpses and also wiping all evidence of our involvement in their deaths forever. As the flames rose to a huge fireball, I held Rita’s hand, and we went out of the place.
THE END…!!!
