“WILD family…. Like that mafia group? Doris said. “Yes Doris , I am now a mafian”. Jenny said excitedly. “Wow, I thought I asked you to ditch the idea you stubborn girl, don't tell me you still apply all this years”. Doris asked. “Of course, I can't give up on the house, you know that” jenny said smiling. “Well congratulations girl, I am so happy for you” Doris said patting her back. “Thanks baby girl”. “So what is the next plan now? How do you get into the house”. “Yeah, I have been sent some requirements and guidelines, I need some alone time to go through this please” she said “ Okay baby, I need to get ready for my afternoon shift ” Doris said and exited the room. #At the SILENT RIFLE mafia home. “Are you all set” The nomination will start soon “ Fred said as he entered the conference room. “We are set sir” one of the boys said. They were three in number, dressed in different outfits. “ You have to be at alert, don't draw unnecessary attention to yourself,also you have to act strong and pass all the tests. We can't afford not to get in” Fred said admonishing all of them. “ Yes boss” The three of them chorused and exited the room. It was evening, six to be precise, Jenny was on the long bus as it drove at a very high speed, she was scared. She wasn't the only one in the bus. She was picked at a location and she was blindfolded immediately. There are other people on the bus with her but she couldn't see them. It was a long distance. The bus kept moving at a very high speed, stopping to pick other people at some point. Jenny thought of her safety, what if she was actually kidnapped. Jenny had told her to get help by dialing any number on her phone if she sensed danger but it was almost impossible now. Her phone had been seized and her eyes blindfolded. She was as helpless as anything. She tried to look around with her blindfold but she couldn't see anything. Everywhere was dark. She was scared. After a long time, the bus finally stopped only to drive into a compound. Jenny could sense the vehicle moving into the compound. The bus drove for a while before it finally stopped. She heaved a sigh, more of anxiety than relief. Then there was silence. She sat down there with her head bent. Nothing felt alive. Everywhere was quiet. Then she felt someone moving towards her. She felt a hand on her neck and she jerked. The hand led her up and started moving her away. She panicked. Who knows if she had been kidnapped. Sweat drops sprang on her face and she could feel herself sobbing. She felt the hand moving her and they were soon moving out of the bus. It was at this point that she felt other movements around her. Perhaps the others were being moved to the slaughter. She giggled despite her situation. The walk was long and her legs ached. She was tired already. It has been three hours since she got into this mess and she does not yet know what is happening to her. All she could hear were footsteps; of herself, of other people. Sounding and resounding in her ears. Then she felt the hand leading her halted her making her stationary. The footsteps stopped too, at different locations and there was a hush in the room. This continued for a moment until a deep masculine voice filled the room. “Master Dan is coming in, let's all bow as he comes in” The voice said. Jenny could feel the others bowing , she could feel the person behind her back bowing. She bowed too. “You can untie their faces” she heard the clear sweet voice. It was calm, cool and collected. Something danced in her as she heard the voice. The voice sounded rich, authoritative and luxurious. She felt a movement behind her back. The hand untied her blindfold and removed it. She felt a wave of fresh air hit her face and she gasped in gratitude. Damn. She had been enduring all along. She rubbed her face in relief. The bright lights from the bulb hit her face. It was dark already and the hall was well lited. “You are all welcome here. It is a pleasure to have you here”. The calm voice said again and Jenny's face shot up to the direction of the voice. She gasped at the sight of the handsome god before her. He was fair, very fair with a cute pointed nose. His height was something to be studied. He had large eyes, jenny could see it from where she was standing. “ As you all know, you all are here for nomination” a familiar voice said. It must have been the first speaker. “Which means not all of you would be selected. So, you have to put in your best, Work hard, obey the rules and stay on your lane. The man said. “ You should try and make friends and know your way around. You will have to go rest tonight. Tomorrow, the orientation starts, Good night” the guy said and he left the stage. All those while, jenny has her eyes focused on the ‘cool voice’ guy. She couldn't bait her eyelashes as she kept staring at him. There was something about him that commands authority. She just knew. “What are you staring at? You have to go get your things. We need to get your registration done and get you settled in for the night, let's go” The voice said. Jenny had forgotten about the person behind her. She realized it was a girl all along. The girl was beautiful. “Please who are you” jenny asked. “You will get to know me soon, let's go get something done first. The girl said. Minutes later. “So you mean you are likely to get something if you ‘lead” me well? Jenny asked and the beautiful girl nodded. Over the last minutes, They had bonded as they exchanged a lot of personal informations. From talking about their personal lives to talking about why they are in the mafia, jenny felt at home. Their conversation flowed smoothly and Jenny was grateful to have someone to talk to. According to Olivia as the girl called herself, whenever new ‘Lambs’ are recruited just like the new people were called, they are each assigned a Lead who would help them with getting familiar with the environment and also support them till they are finally nominated if they are lucky. If they are eventually nominated, their leads get an extra in their ranks Jenny was thrilled as Olivia told her the rules and regulations, what to do to fit in and how to navigate the mafian world. The wine hard cover book Olivia tossed in her hand earlier shone in the darkness. “You should read that” Olivia said. You should get familiar with how the mafian world works and how to stay at the top of your tasks” “Okay, thank you “ “Now let's go get your bag and go find your room “ Olivia said. It was dark outside already but everywhere was illuminated with powdered lights. Jenny was soon lost in the beauty of her surrounding. She hadn't noticed earlier because of the apprehension but after the soothing chat with Olivia, she was relieved. “Wow, it is so beautiful in here” jenny remarked looking around happily. “ Yes it is” you should see the inner courts and the special rooms, you'd scream” Olivia said her eyes twinkling. Jenny nodded. They got her bags and headed to the rooms. “Let us see what is on your tag, wow, room 8, bed 6. That is good “Olivia said and smiled. “That is my room right? Jenny asked. “Yes” Olivia replied. “I hope I have nice roommates” jenny said. “Don't worry about that, you can deal with any roommate you have okay and if they try to misbehave, you give them the upper cut” Olivia said and Jenny cracked. It is so nice to be around Olivia. They got to the room and met other girls walking about. Olivia turned at the door and urged her to go in. She went into the room alone,tired and sleepy. She muttered inaudible hellos to the girls around and found her bed. She dropped her bag and slept off immediately. #The next morning. A loud sound hooted around like the ringing of a high school bell. Jenny kept tossing on the bed, she was still yet to remember where she was. She was wondering what was making the noise, was Doris going mad? How could she be seeing horror movies this late at night. She thought to herself. After a while, she felt a hand shaking her roughly. Wait, what, for goodness sake, she was jobless and has no where to go this early morning. “Wake up, everyone is dressed up, we are expected in the hall in thirty minutes time”. Jenny heard the voice. She woke up with a start. Realization dawned on her. “Oh my” she muttered as she sprang out of bed. The others were scuttling about,some trying out their clothes, some applying makeup and some coming out of the washroom. She undressed immediately and grabbed her towel. Minutes later. They all settled down in the hall, completing the registration from the day before. Jenny was already through with her registration and she sat with Olivia asking some questions about the book in her hand. “Do you have the schedule in your hands yet? Olivia asked and Jenny nodded “Okay so you have to go strictly with it, okay, it contains how all the activities goes” Olivia said and Jenny nodded. After the registration was completed, it was already lunch time and they all went for lunch. Jenny finished her food fast because she was feeling pressed. She went in search of the public washroom. Olivia was not in sight. According to Olivia, they are not allowed to go into the residential quarters as long as activities are still going on, they can only make use of the available restrooms. It was hard finding the restroom. Olivia had given her a map but she had left it in her book. She now has to look for the rest room on her own. She decided to ask around. She soon found two girls dragging themselves. They seem to be dragging something. “Can I know the way to the restroom please? She asked raisin her right index finger. The two girls stopped shockingly and looked up at her. “Oh, just keep going until you reach a junction around there, you'd find two paths, follow the right one “ one of the girls said. “Okay thanks “ Jenny said and scurries away. She was now very pressed. It took a lot of effort for her not to have soaked her pants. Olivia had warned about the consequences of urinating around. She got to the junction and saw the path. She kept running until she found the restroom. She hurries in and helped herself to one of the toilet and eased herself. She felt pure relief as the liquids poured out of her. She finished and went to watch her hand at the sink. Then she heard a muffled sound, like gasping for air. She was surprised. It was coming from one of the toilets. She listened carefully and she soon knew what sound it was. Goodness, some people are having s*x in the restroom. She could hear the moans resounding in the restroom.What nonsense. She thought as she stood there shocked. Then suddenly, she heard one of the doors opening. She was terrified. She decided to concentrate on washing her hands and act like she hadn't heard anything. She heard someone stopped behind her, then she felt another person came to a stop behind the first person. She felt very scared as she could feel her heart thumping. Jeez……
