🌹LETHAL ATTRACTION🌹
🌾CHAPTER 8🌾
Now, with with total thirty one passengers, one of them started to move within the group, selecting passengers and instructing them to stand aside from normal people.
Knowing that they were about to be kidnapped, Dorathy lowered her head and tried to hide her wristwatch by secretly removing it so that it didn't give away her status when she heard Sandra said:
"I'll take that" Sandra snatched the watch from her and shove her out of the group to join the smaller group of selected hostages.
The woman and her daughter were dragged by their harasser and shoved into the group and the stupid guy had a stupid smirk on his face that showed that he was finally victorious. A corp member were taken, the Fat Igbo man and his petite were taking and more people that Dorathy didn't know. After selecting sixteen people, the passengers were ordered to go into the car and close the doors.
"Wetin we go do?" Bosca, one of the armed men asked Sandra.
"A beg waste the rest"
The other armed men gave her raised brows. "Boss go provoke o" Pascal, the one who had been harassing the woman and her child said.
"Where Oga Ahmad sef?" Tuga, a stubby looking one asked. "He suppose don reach here by now"
"If Ahmad no dey, who be the next in command?" Sandra indignantly asked the hesitating men.
"Na you na" Bosco replied.
"I say make una waste those people, we no get time to dey road. You wan make police or army meet us here?" Sandra insisted when the men exchange uncertain glances, Sandra shouted "WASTE THE PEOPLE FOR GOD'S SAKE! UNA TOO DEY DULL"
Shrugging, the men c****d the guns again, positioned themselves beside each vehicle and rained bullets on the vehicles while the people screamed. Even Dorathy was shocked and there were horrified screams in her group too as they watch the men murder the oldest in cold blood. Even the woman had to press her daughters face against her lower belly to prevent her from seeing such evil.
When they were done riding the vehicles with holes, Sandra went around, checking to make sure there were no survivor and any she found, still groaning, and not yet dead, she ended their mystery by putting a bullet in their head. Just then, the second in command, a man of average height finally appeared from the bush. When he saw the vehicles filled with holes and blood dripping out from under them, he heaved a sigh of despair and said in great disappointment:
"What have you all done?!"
"Lets get off this road, i will take the blame" Sandra said in a remorseless tone and the armed men began to lead the captives out of the road, loaded them into a truck and started into a jungle. When they had driven far, they stopped in the middle of no where, ordered the captives to get down and continued the rest of the journey on foot, with the armed men surrounding them while one of them led the way.
Three hours later, Mikel, the ring leader of the kidnapping group came out of his hut and walked to the path when he heard sound of approaching foots. He was dressed in a black vest tucked into camouflage pants and black boots to go with. He was tall, looks fit and almost intimidating with almost bloodshot eyes. but all his roguish look didn't mask that he was good looking and had a calm demeanor.
He ran a group of seven men and a woman and has been in the kidnappings business for years that he had almost forgotten how to live a normal life. He waited at the side and observed the new captives that were brought into the camp. They all had their heads down after being made deliberately to walk around the forest for almost three hours in order to exhaust and confused them in case they tried to remember the main path that led to the camp after release or attempting to escape.
As the hostages walked pass him, only one person, a lady, raised her head and locked cases with him, flouting his men's order to keep their heads down. Although, she had tried to maintain a firm and undaunted composure, the fear in her eyes exposed the facade.
immediately their eyes had locked briefly before she had lowered her gaze again, he felt a sudden flush of heat within him which he had not experienced before neither could her explain it but he tried to ignore and suppress it.
And as she passed by, he watched her walk past him and for a moment, their cases locked again briefly but not as direct as before and it had broken when Sandra who was following beside her suddenly gave her a rough shove ahead, Chiding her for being too sluggish and calling her all sorts of names. When Mike shot gazes with Sandra, she shot him an unfriendly look and continued walking away.
