Escape

Uche had just turned at a corner with his foreign boss whom he was carrying from the rig, when he saw the road block. At first it looked as if it was military, but looking closely he discovered it was Niger delta militants,  his boss had already started sweating profusely. Uche's heart was pounding and he was confused. The man in front beckoned on him to stop. Uche slowed to a halt just in front of them. He saw all kinds of weapons he had never seen before. What do i do now Uche thought. If i dnt act they would kill me and kidnap my boss, he thought. Uche remembered the lots of movies he had seen and decided to brave up. He stepped on the gas pedal of the ford ranger he was driving and heard it roar like a beast in distress. The car picked up and started moving. All guns where faced at the car and the leader was shouting words to stop him. Uche closed his eyes and then heard the rain of bullets. Would i die today or would i be a hero he asked himself.
