BLAKE WALTER

Chapter Eight *Betrayal*

It was a bright morning and the sun had this broad smile that made me feel good. Cooking wasn't a problem for me anymore; here they are many cooks with variety of dishes here.

I took a stroll along the terrace of my cottage while in deep thought about my mission, and also my feelings for JUNIANA as it grows in my heart. While in that state, I didn't notice she was watching me from her window, suddenly she called out.

"Hey!"

"Hi ma'am" I said.

"Don't call me that!" she replied with a big smile that got me melt down.

"So what should I call you?" I asked

"Hmmmmm....hmmmmm I don't know" she said as she burst into laughter.

I smiled at her and she gave a wide one to me.

It was 1800hrs, I got a call from the boss and he informed me of a new deal with an international drug cartel. He told me to get ready as an escort. I jumped up in cheerfulness as I drop the phone.

"Yeah this is it!" I exclaimed to myself.

Things are just moving fast for me, this deal about to take place is an Avenue to get evidence to bring him down. Most times GREEDMAN hardly partake in drug dealings but rather uses foot soldiers, that is why it is has been difficult to apprehend or charge him of any crime. But this one is involving an international cartel and he must be at the table.

I brought out the STS; it was just like a normal shirt but a high-tech one,.wore it on a black fit Jean trouser and took some other little equipment with me. The time for the deal was 2200hrs but we left at about 2100hrs.

I met with the boss and three other Kwanyegas including FIMINYO and we all set out with a motorcade of two, I and the two other Kwanyegas in the first car and the others in the last one.

We got to the location on time, it was an old dockyard in the of POLINMARINA>

As we got out, a flash light was beamed at us and we pull out our guns but then a voice echoed from a high platform

"In here" the voice echoed

Still holding our guns out, we walked near the platform and then my boss was sure it was his business partners. We climbed a step attached to the platform and walked through a large white steel door then into a house like wide container with good furnitures, I guess it's a usual spot for drug dealings.

The business partners were three in number all looking like the south East Asians, the leader amongst them shook and hug my boss as they both laughed. I was standing some inches from my boss, somehow facing him and also the table were exhibit will surely be put on, then I clicked the second top button of the STS am wearing >. On the other adjacent was FIMINYO standing a bit closer to the boss.

One of the Asians brought out a small black metallic briefcase and opened it, what I saw was hard currencies. My boss laughed and signaled FIMINYO who has been holding a small grey colored briefcase since we departed. FIMINYO opened it and I saw parcels of brown and yellow colored substances which am sure must be opium.

Then unexpectedly the door opened. A wide man with greensuits and a green hat to fit came in with two Kwanyegas. We all pulled out our guns including the Asians some of us facing the man on green suit and his Kwanyegas and some facing the Asians.

The goods and money were on the wide table. Something in my mind keeps telling me it will be hell here soon.

"Ahhh" the green suit man laughed as he raised his round head.

"SOKA?“ I heard my boss asked with angry voice

"Yeah tuwèh>“ the green suit man replied.

“I set this whole thing to get back at you, my palace was destroyed and my boys massacred by you. And you think I will stay low?“ said the green suit man aka SOKA who happens to be the boss of the GREENLANDERS.

“You bastard! You started first by attempting to assassinate my princess>” my boss said

“ahhh you forgot so soon, I had warned you about ruining my business and that every ruins has a price, your daughter was the price for the last deal which you ruin for me but since she survived it, I guess fate has brought you to me which is a better price” SOKA replied.

At this moment, I knew I have to do something fast. Among the materials which I had took with me was a smoke grenade, I unlock my bag side pocket and brought it out gently without any sound. I was discreet enough not to make any sound for them to notice.

“FIMINYO!” My boss called his Kwanyegas to get ready for battle

Ahhhh SOKA laughed as FIMINYO turned his gun towards my boss.

“Why?” My boss asked FIMINYO

His deal was too enticing and you know how it works FIMINYO replied.

At this juncture, my hand took actions without any coordination from the brain, if that's how I can best describe how fast I was. I pushed the boss down and in the process detonated the smoke grenade as I docked down too, the room was in hell as bullets flies at every point.

It all lasted for five minutes and there was silence everywhere, no more gun shots. I struggled out coughing as the smoke dwindled.

When I had inhaled fresh air for some minutes, I went inside and searched for the boss, the men were all down as I moved to the table, suddenly I felt some sharp pain on my left arm, it was bleeding badly, I had been hit by a bullet, a voice cried out for help amongst the laying men, I looked towards his direction and noticed it was FIMINYO, with my M9, I moved closer and whispered in his ears

“A momoa hates f**king Kwanyega”

Then gave him a clean shot on his head.

As I looked back, I saw the boss, he had fainted and a scratch was on his head, I thought maybe he got that when I pushed him down.

Squatting beside him I saw his eyes opened gently and I helped him sit on the floor, he scanned the room and said

“Thank you son”

I shook my head in an affirmative manner.

Some minutes later, I helped him up and walked out of the room and down the platform to our parked vehicles, assisted him as he sat in the back seat while I got on the wheel.

While driving, my boss said to me

“Boy, you just proved yourself worthy of my generosity, I appreciate your loyalty”

“Its nothing” I replied

“What happened to your arm boy?” he asked

“Nothing sir, just some cut” I replied soon I started feeling dizzy and my temperature was high.

“You know boy, I just can't think of the best gift for you, ummm.... you know what boy, if you will accept. JUNIANNA will be yours, as a gift from me and also I trust you are a good man for her, what you say?” he said.

I couldn't give him a reply; my eyes were shutting down as my hand bled profusely. Trying the best I could, I drove off the road gently and then turn off the ignition.
