*2 DECADES 4 YEARS *

*DECEMBER 15, 2020*

26 years old Alex George dropped from the bus; it was Vietnam. A new home. New environment that cleanses her mind and serves her peace, an escape from the terrible past of three years ago but the past kept speaking in her head..… “nah, I don’t need this right now, I fuckingly need to focus if I must expose the Satanas gang” she thought. Grabbing her bag, she shakes her head with heart full of determination for revengeand bitterness for the gang.

Jay Sanchez just got a call from his buddy” hey Ray, whatsupgee, hope you’ve got some goodnews for me now, and am not taking no for an answer”

“yea man, but you should atleast give me some respects though, well my trap has caught your rats and I know their new hideouts now but it will cost you man”

“Bruh… spill it out, you know how much I really wanna get my hand on those motherfuckers and c’mon money ain’t an issue bruh, I got you on that”.

“I know you the money man and I ain’t doubting that nigga, was just pulling your legs though, well your rats are in Vietnam city as we speak and they got a camp there bruh”

“Thanks bruh” for this nugget, I’ll be there tonight to hunt their f*****g asses down, they are gonna pay big time. Talk later nigga”.

Fuego, “get the helicopter ready, we are flying to VIETNAM tonight. Jay said to Fuego who was sitting on a sofa listening to Jay’s call, he replied with a nod after which he stood up to get what he was ordered done.

Alex dropped from the cab she had boarded, the place was beautiful, just a quiet, pleasant and cool environment that she loves. It elicit nature, the kind of environment that will give her the peace she needs and calmness to overcome her trauma while hunting her enemies down. She needed this kind of place to be able to fight back her fears and gained back her confidence to be among people.., something she couldn’t do anymore after the terrible experience of that day. “looking around she realized it was late, she needed a space to rest her tired head and feeble body for the night. She will tackle the accommodation problem the next day but for now she needs rest. She looked across to the old woman who had just dropped from the cab, gosh! She doesn’t know anybody here and if she must get a place then she has to speak to someone before it gets late. “excuse me ma’am, please if you don’t mind, am kindalost right now and I need a place I can stay for the night. The woman looked at her with distrust, “I really can’t help you stay at my place young lady cos I don’t trust no soul but I can direct you to a mini hotel close by where you can rest for the night and continue your journey tomorrow if you are travelling

“nah’ that’s fine with me, so long I get to rest, I really appreciate that ma’am. Alex got the direction to the next available hotel and off she left.

Amira Sanchez looked at the lady she has just given direction, “there was something so familiar about her but she couldn’t place her hand on it. She was already tired with all the stress the gang was putting her through so there was no need for another brain rack right now. She looked at her as she kept dragging her bags with her and with a hiss, she made her way towards her apartment.

Alex got to the hotel and everywhere was so quiet, at a second thought she hoped everywhere wasn’t booked, she didn’t have that energy to start asking around anymore. She moved inside to the reception and everywhere was so neat and organized for a mini hotel. The place looks and smell nice. She got to the receptionist who looked like she was in her late twenties.

“hey, still got a spare room to let out for the night?

“hi, welcome ma’am, yea we still have two left, might not be the best of all but guess you are just lucky to meet it, how many days are you staying?

“ohh, guess your place is hot in the city, am staying for just a night but might make it a day at most. The receptionist brought out a tab and starts scrolling through then she stops and hands It to Alex “slide to your right to get pictures of the rooms available, Alex kept sliding through the rooms and made a choice handing the tab back to the receptionist, “I think I’ll settle for that one right there. The receptionist collected the required information, payment made by Alex and the room key was handed to her. “Attendant, help with her luggage and show her to her room, the receptionist said to the guest assistant.

“wow, their services are superb, Alex thought.

A car pulls up at a mansion, Fuego got out and ran to open the gate then come back and drive right inside the place. The environment was quiet and serene just the kind of place a person like Jay loves.

“how did you manage to get such a good calm place in this city… that’s why I like your person cos you seems to understand my person and what I’ll like without stress, Jay said to his assistant giving him a manly pat on the back.

“Thanks boss, you deserve every bit of loyalty you get boss…Fuego said with a grin.

“ok, that’s it, don’t flatter me man, get our luggage from the car and show me the way in, Jay said taking steps away from the car and heading towards the building.

Alex yawn from the bed, “Goddd, she was f*****g tired but she had no choice than to get up and get her day started, there was a lot to do. First, she need to get a proper apartment for a year if she wants to stay here longer cos the hell she can’t foot this brothel bill everyday and still feeds three times daily… grrrrrrrhhh, ohh you don’t need to remind me that I need to feed you damn tommy, Alex said rubbing her tommy.

She got up to the toilet, brushes, takes her bath and was out to the reception. “hey, good morning, I still have my luggage inside, I need to get few things settled out and I’ll be back to check out, hope that’s fine with you.

“you paid for a night ma’am so if you are not checking out this morning then you’ll have to pay for a day.

“ohk that’s fine with me then, guess I’ll just pay for a day but if I come back earlier and check out this morning, I’ll get a refund right?

“sure, you will ma’am, Alex made the payment and was off for house hunting.

It was mid-day and Alex was still out looking for a comfortable house, all the house that was shown by the agent was not comfortable for her. “Ma’am this is all we’ve got and if you don’t like this one am about showing you then you’ll have to check another agency. I don’t even think you’ll like this one cos it’s in an isolated area and no much neighbours.

“let me see it first, you never can tell besides I think I’ll prefer something like that where there are no much people around me.

They got to the house, the environment kinda looks like a rural area but the environment had everything nature could offer, it eludes, calmness and natural features. “wow, just perfect for what my taste will like. Alex thought. Without much thought she happily accepted it.

She got back to the agency with the agents and everything was sealed. “I can move in today right?

“yea you can ma’am.

Now she got an apartment, she suddenly remembered she hasn’t had anything since morning and decided to grab lunch before heading back to the brothel to get her things. She made a turn to her left and there was a nice restaurant… “why didn’t I notice this place when I walked in here… she thought with a smile on her face. She walked inside the place and gets to the counter placing an order for a plate of spaghetti with vegies sauce and any soda to go with it.

“hey I need two plates of jollof rice with can soda, please pack it cos am taking it with me.

“I bet you saw me here and you are aware she is taking my order so you’ll have to wait for your turn, Mr. man.

“I’m actually in a hurry and my boss is waiting for me in the car, so if you don’t mind can you let me go first please?

“look here Mr. man, I’ve been starving all day and I don’t give a f**k about that your damn boss, if he was in such a hurry, he would have come here before me. Alex said angry

“I won’t have you insult him young lady, you can actually talk without having to insult. He shouted

“hey man, you won’t raise that your silly croaked voice on me, how can you just walk in here, walk past me without an excuse just to try to place an order above mine. Don’t you have etiquette? Follow the due procedures by waiting for your turn, if your damn boss isn’t patience enough to wait for his turn then y’all can get the f**k out. I don’t give a damn.

“what’s happening here!! and who is she referring to as damn Fuego… Jay said from behind them, hands in his pocket with an angry look on his face.
