PAYBACK TIME

Episode 2

your boss has cost me so much and am not ready to loose anything else to her , so either you like it or not , you are going to talk. Erica knew this wasn't going to end well. What do you want to hear? she asked. Anything and everything , what is your boss working on , any property she owns around town and her plans. Well you can go to hell because you are getting no information from me.Cobra, she is all yours, said the boss. Erica was hit hard on the stomach that she screamed loudly. Make sure you get what i want to hear, he said and walked out. Erica was dragged into a dark room and received severe beating, a large bucket full of water was already waiting for her. When she refused to talk after all the beating , a nylon was tied round her neck and she was dipped down in the water, she was grasping for air when she passed out. Don't kill her , you i***t , we need the information from her, shouted the boss who was watching through the surveillance, Cobra let her go and walked out.Well since she is proving adamant , i know of many ways to make her talk, get all the information about her since her childhood , we will definitely get something to make her talk. Okay boss, Cobra went out on a mission to dig dip.He asked around but it seemed that she did not come from around that area, he took her picture a d fingerprints and went to the smart tech guy they all knew in town that was Aron. He was busy with something else but seeing Cobra he knew it was business and whatever it was , it would pay handsomely. When Cobra got the information he needed about Erica, he boarded the next flight to her home town, it was desolate and strangely few people on the streets , it was evident people living there were struggling to survive, he followed the lead and asked for whatever information he needed.Before dawn the following day , Cobra was back and smiling widely, the boss knew he got something. He had always trusted him. When the dark room was opened, Erica's eyes hurt like hell, there were black spots all over her face from the previous day's beating. Hello pretty lady, how was your beautiful night? asked Cobra with her smile on his face.

Erica was ready for more t*****e but to her surprise that did not happen.Cobra got his phone from his back pocked and played a video on her face , Erica teared up immediately it was someone she missed dearly someone she had not seen for a whole year, that's her grandmother. Her parents died when she was three, she never got the chance to know them well all she knows is that they got into a car accident and their pictures are the only memories she has of them. Her grandmother struggled all through to put her in school and provide for her basic needs but it was tough she did not get lucky enough to complete her primary education since her grandmother developed some health complications and could no longer work and provide for her and that was when she was forced to go out in the streets and hustle for herself and her grandmother's medication. Things were tough and years later she met Perry who after learning what she had been going through took her as a sister and helped her out she trained her and gave her a job of which she pays her well enough to take care of her needs and provide for her grandmother's medication, she has been sending her money to keep her going but she hasn't been able to go home and see her for a whole year and this is not the way she would like to be meeting her after that long. You are surprised? Cobra chuckled. Keep my family out of this, she shouted Darling , i wanted to deal with just you but since you probed to be impossible you forced me to bring your family into the business and i know with her, you are going to tell me all what i need to hear.You are a bustard, she shouted. Well i can't agree less lady, i have never met my parents but i am not the subject here, so are you ready to talk? What are you going to do if i don't, well i will have one of my men on the ground kill her and everything related to her and you will be gone.What do you want to hear? And bedsides what do i stand to gain in all this, well you will have saved your lovely grandmother's life and on top of it you will be rewarded handsomely. Have got the information that her condition needs an amount you can not afford in your lifetime to be cured but if you give me want i want, i can make that happen with a blink of an eye.That was so damn tempting knowing her grandmother would be well again sounded really good that she would not have to worry about her all the time but even so she can not afford to betray Perry , she came through when she dearly needed help, fed her, clothed her , gave her a job and took care of her grandmother. You have two hours to think about it lady and if your answer is negative, forget you had a grandmother.Erica did not know what to do, Perry meant a lot to her and so did her grandmother. She has been through a lot to provide for her to just let her go, she even gave up her dreams when she joined Perry's group, clearly it wasn't her desire to have such a life but she had no choice back then, and here an opportunity comes knocking, she can be rewarded handsomely, her grandmother's treatments taken care of permanently and also have some cash to start off a better life for herself, she clearly knew what to choose but she felt guilty, at the end of the day she presented her end of the bargain. Don Harry was so happy that she was ready to negotiate. What is your request young lady? Well apart from you taking care of my grandmothers treatment, i would like you to give me huge amount of money, after this i want to leave the streets for good. You have my word as long as i will get what i want, you will get what you want , money has never been a problem to me young lady. Deal.They let Erica go with a mobile that she would only use to communicate with them.She has been tending to her wounds wearing masks until her face got clear of the bruises while deliberating on how to execute her plans.She has been getting too close to the boss to get what she needed to and her surprise she trusts her even the more with time. Well her inner self feels guilty but she is determined to get a normal life like anyone else, she set up a meeting with Cobra and gave him all the necessary information he needed to know and that included her newest structure in he city , it was one of the tallest building in the city and it was lending for business on the top floors but he ground floor and the underground were meant for her operations. She had learnt of her father's businesses and she was determined to continue them so Perry got into importation business with similar terms as her late father's and it left many of the partners with a lot of question which no one could answer, the underground was her warehouse and even though she was dealing with illegal operations , she was dealing with human medicine , her crime was getting them in the country against the government and ruining their business since she was selling at lower prices but making more money since they were moving so fast. The government was stuck with tones of supplies with no one to buy yet the hospitals and chemists weren't running out of medicine and they were seriously hunting down the supplier.With that information and knowing when she visits the warehouse, Harry's men planned an attack the instructions were to bring her alive, he wanted to personally deal with the so confident woman.It was that particular day that Perry was going to check on her supplies later in the evening that Erica was behaving strangely , she thought she was confused and she clearly was.Perry went back to her room and started preparing her guards are always set , she had about three hours towards he scheduled visit to the warehouse, when she got ready , she got a call from her suppliers outside the country. They were in danger since the government has been hunting down where the medicine was coming from without it's clearance and permission and they were close to getting to the company
