THE BROODER

10.

**ASHLEY**

"I am going to name the boy, "Aster" and the girl, "Astra"

Amara: I knew it! You and heavenly bodies all the time. I won't be surprised if you name them Jupiter and Mars.

" But they're nice names Ama!"

Amara: you need to leave this place so you'll see these things before you name another child "earth".

" I give them these names because I can only see those heavenly bodies in their eyes. I am happy that they'll see these beauties that I haven't seen for years. "

Amara : don't worry, very soon we'll be out of here.

" I hope so. I have fourteen children to grow with, to train and I don't want to miss anything in their lives. I want to give them love and care. I want to raise my babies myself "

Amara: you will ASH. So it's Aster and Astra huh?

" Yes, I know they mean the same thing but then, twins' name are mostly rhymes."

Amara: i know, I have Twin younger brothers, peter and Paul. They're very naughty kids. They were fifteen when I last saw them. Peter and Paul hmmm

" I know one twin in my church. Rebecca and Reuben is their name."

Amara: Twins are beautiful.

" Yes, they are. I wish I know how my octuplets are doing."

Amara: They're fine and healthy. I am sure of that. It's a godmother instinct.

" Godmother? "

Amara : yes I am their godmother

" You didn't gift me any godmother coupon."

Amara: I'll give you in kind. Let me massage your swollen legs.

" Hmmmmmmmmm. That will be lovely." I needed the massage.

***RICHARD***

Matt: they refused boss. They said it's not in their company's law to do so. I've tried several times to negotiate with them but they're having none of it.

" I only want to see the brooder. I am not going to take her away or something. I want to see her in person! Do something about it, Matt. I don't want to know the cost just make it happen"

Sanusi had a vision last week on which he said that the brooder and I are destined to raise our children together. He said that I will be needing her so is she. I don't even understand what he meant by that I will be needing her or that she needs me. I think it has something to do with the twins.

I have to call Jordans to work on this matter before I return from my trip to London.

" Jordans, where are you now?"

Jordans: Boss, I am meeting with the Chinese in the next thirty minutes.

" That's good. Meet me at the penthouse after you are done."

Jordans: Aye aye Boss.

The dark web are pressing the wrong buttons and they'll meet death soon. I don't know what is so difficult in arranging a meeting with one brooder.

Gone are the days when I succumb to the "No!" Word. I hate no's. If Death wants a thing, he gets it. There are no two ways on this matter.

Some hours later...

Jordans: Boss, there are no recent pictures on the net about this brooder. We only have a missing picture of her when she's a kid.

" Are you sure it's the same person?"

Jordans: yes, I am beginning to think these brooders are not what they say they are. Becauuse, just like the brooder, the other brooders are all missing persons.

" Are you thinking what I am thinking?"

Jordans: they are held captive for years just doing the business.

" How sure are you that these girls are the age they present? Check the authenticity of the pictures on the website and the photo bank."

Some minutes later...

Jordans: the photos are authentic but they're traced to a Manny photography at cape town.

"Good...I want you more information on these asap. I am leaving everything in your hands till I return from London."

*** THE UNKNOWN MADAM***

MR SAVANNAH: Madam, I think it's time we sell the Brooders.

MADAM: how many are they in total?

MR SAVANNAH: they're now a hundred and fifteen ma'am.

MADAM: How many are brooding?

MR SAVANNAH: We have five brooders brooding. We can bring them together in one factory till they're done brooding.

MADAM: Great plan! Put the other hundred and ten brooders up for sale. You can sale them to the Arabs and indies. We will discuss the other five when they're done brooding.

MR SAVANNAH: okay ma'am. I will contact the fashion and photography team to begin their work.

MADAM: what about that french client insisting on seeing the brooder?

MR SAVANNAH: He is ready to pay any price for the meet-up.

MADAM: i don't like that client. He's up to no-good. Don't give him any hints of our location. He can be dangerous or the nosy cops.

MR SAVANNAH: He is expecting twins from that Nonuplets brooder.

MADAM: oh that brooder! She's quite an asset.

MR SAVANNAH: yes she is and strong willed too.

MADAM: my husband is coming this way. Let's talk about this later.

MR SAVANNAH: yes ma'am.

***ASHLEY***

It is loud today. The security gathered all brooders today exempting me. I still want to know what's happening. I followed them around. Lesedi's child was taken this morning.

Many other brooders were gathered in our factory. A total of hundred and fifteen brooders...wow!

Four pregnant brooders were set aside with me. I could see the look of confusion in the face of Amara. They led them away leaving only five of us here.

I got to know of their names later that day. Ruthie, Thintiwe, Thanbang, Ashati were their names.

Ruthie: I heard that they're going to be sold off today.

Ashati: we will also be sold off to after we give birth.

" Who would be buy brooders like us?"

Thintiwe: Some men will. It depends on the price and the reason for purchase

" What's the reason for purchase?"

Thintiwe: S*x purposes, slavery, brooding, ritual purposes and puppets. They're countless. It is just like the many reasons to buy a dog.
