72 HOURS KILL MISSION

72 HOURS KILL MISSION EPISODE SEVENTEEN

As we were headed towards the back, I heard gunshots right where we had left storm and Janice and i knew for a fact that they had been killed only to get out to the front side and find two of the bouncers dead.

Rex asked if i was okay and i nodded then just as we were about to get in his car, storm showed up with a gun and started shooting towards our direction aiming at Rex who realized it was Storm shooting and pulled me indide the car and we took off. All that time i didn't pull out my gun as i didn't want tp blow my cover before i could really find out what Rex had to do with everything. I had a chance to kill him in that car but not just yet, i was going to do it my own way..

Me: what just happened back there?..

I asked pretending to be so scared and that was me warming my way into him giving me details of who storm was, if he knew him and why he had attacked him. How could storm blow up everything like that, what was he hiding. How did he even know that i was going to be at that party. Had he been following me or did Jeff tell him?..

Rex: i need fo drop you wherever you are going safe. The guy was not interested in you but in me.

Me: why?.. i mean there were so many people he could have gone after in that Party.

He looked at me briefly trying to slow down at a bump then i thought that maybe he thought i was asking for other reasons. I kept silent for a second still giving the impression that i was still a victim in a that.

Rex: that guy is an old friend who is supposed to be dead. I don't know how he is still here but why he came after me is not important. Somethings are better left unsaid..

I cleared my throat then leaned back trying to hide my disappointment then i immediately noticed i was not do far off from.where i was supposed to be getting off so i told him to drop me at that next junction and he pulled over right there and i didn't get out immediately..

Me: are you okay?..

He looked at me briefly then he nodded. I opened the door to the car but before i could get out he gently grabbed my arm and i turned to look at him..

Rex: you are not a friend of the family and I don't think i have seen you before, how did you know about the party?..

These gangster minds are trained to think out of the box and they are always alert all the time. The fact that he had noticed that i might not have had a business to be there meant i ought to have had other agendas so i had to think real fast and pull myself out of that.

Me: i honestly didn't know anyone in that party but i was invited by a friend who somewhat stood me up and I'm yet to find out of she came or maybe she did when it already got chaotic.. i will call her when i get home..

He let go of my hand and shook his head like he had been in some sort of hallucination.

Rex: okay.. i hope you will be okay from here?..

Me: yes i will. Thanks for saving my life..

Rex: it was the best thing to do..

Me: can i ask you something before i get out?.

Rex: yes.

He shifted his attention to me.

Rex: why didn't you go with your wife and family, why did you remain behind to save me?..

Rex took a deep breath then lowered his side of the window like he had been suffocating or something..

Rex: you remind me of someone... Your beauty your body, i saw you back at the club and i felt like i saw her all over again only that there is no resemblance to the face I knew..

Me: a girlfriend or maybe an ex?..

Rex: not really but she's someone i have never been able go forget. I stayed behind because i felt like you needed protection after all the men ran out like cowards.

I smiled. Maybe not the response I was looking for but i knew for a fact that within no time, i would have him right exactly where i needed him..

Me: well Mr.......Sorry i didn't get your name

Rex: call me Rex..

Me: Mr. Rex, thank you for saving my life. I owe you..

Rex:. Maybe we can continue this conversation over coffee perhaps?..

Me: sure, i would love that..

He pulled open a compartment and got some money and handed it to me..

Me: wow, what's this for?..

Rex: just manage it. A beautiful girl can get some fine wine and sip while taking a bath, you know...

I smiled shyly and looked away. Not that i was really shy but i was trying to get his attention..

Rex: shy girl huh..

He poked me on the waist and i got all jumpy, damn.. I hate that but i had to pretend that it was okay..

Me: I've got to go..

Rex: okay.. call me tomorrow..

I got out of the car and walked towards the gate to our apartment. The place was quiet and normally it was safe doni gad nothing to fear with all the security lights and the taxi drivers around..

Dante was not aware of what has happened at the club and both him and Jonas were waiting for news of confirmation that Rex was dead and before i got home, i received a call from him and i received it checking around to make sure i was really alone.

Dante: the party is over already?..

Me: its more like called off..

Dante: why,what happened?.

Me: some guy showed up and crashed the party. There were guns blazing and people had to scatter..

Dante: do you have a name of the party crashers?..

Me: no. I was too busy running for my life..let me get home I'm on the road.

Dante ended the call and sat down on the couch as Jonas handed him a glass of whiskey. Jonas sat opposite him and just as Dante was about to start narrating what had happened, there was a breaking news on TV with the caption "famous club raided my thugs amidst party and few people reported dead."

Jonas: do you think she f****d up?..

Dante: I don't know.. but who could have showed up and start a shoot out if not storm?..

They looked at each other then Dante took a mouthful of his whiskey..

Jonas: i don't have a good feeling about this..

Dante: what, you think she would play us?..

Jonas: why wouldn't she. She had an encounter with storm bro, how did storm even know about the Party. Could he be following her, Could he be that he planted something on her that leads him to everyone?..

Dante: we could have noticed the day she came back but she was clean. I can say that this could be a coincidence, what if storm has just been hunting us down and he knows where to get get all of us. I think we need a bigger game plan.

Jonas: I'm listening..

Dante: Storm had an encounter with Davina and we have no idea if he likes her or not. Right now we cannot rule out possibilities, maybe he followed her and in the process he encountered Rex. she's beautiful and attractive, maybe she's all we need to get rid of him too..we can use her the same way we are using her to get rid of Rex..

Storm and Janice had escaped the scene unhurt and in the car, they couldn't stop quarreling and Jeff had to listen to it all because he couldn't hit another ride home.

Storm asked Jeff to stop the car when they were like a metre away from Janice's place and he did then they both got out. Janice hurried towards the house and Storm hurriedly tried to catch up as they were still arguing. Janice stopped abruptly and turned to him...

Janice: what do you want from.me storm?..

Storm: what do you mean by what do i want from you. You are my girlfriend, you show up at a place where gins go blazing and I'm not supposed to ask you what you were doing there?..

Janice: i told you why i was there, and you..what were you doing there... Have you been following me or her?

Storm: now i need to give you an account of how i operate?

She didn't respond to that but started walking again..

Storm: Janice!..

She stopped again and walked back to him..

Janice: I don't owe you nothing okay, i saw the way you looked at her and i know just who you are. I can protect myself and you know that.. I don't know who that woman is and today i was going to try and figure her out but you screwed all that up..

Storm: I wasn't there for the lady if that's what you think. Rex is still my mark and the lady just happened to be there...

Janice: you want me fo believe that?.. i know nothing about you Storm, i have tried to be my best for you. I have told you everything about me but you, what do I know about you?..

Storm didn't respond and Janice stood there waiting to hear anything comforting but he did not say a word.

Janice: I'm tired of your playing games. I will meet up with that Livia girl and i will...

Storm: wait...why were you at that party, you were meeting up with her?..

Janice: see, you always trying to get information from me.. have a good night Storm and just to be clear, this ass is off limits untill you start seeing me as your girlfriend and not some whore..

She walked away and left him standing there..

Storm got back to the car and Jeff was waiting patiently like he had nowhere else to go and when storm got in he made a loud sigh..

Storm: don't say what you want to save, just drive..

Jeff started the car and he drove off but while at it, he stole a glance or two.

Jeff: you two looked like husband and wife back there, are you sure you are just playing her?..

Storm: she knows stuff, she's still useful to me. I understand she was there to meet Davina. I want to know every detail of what they will be talking about.

Jeff: why are you talking as if I'm supposed to be present for that meeting?..

Storm: I know you will find a way..

Jeff: can i atleast go home now?

Storm: yeah, after you have dropped me off, i need to see Davina.

Jeff looked at him and smiled.

Storm: its not for what you think..

Jeff: she looked hot back there, anyone would want to tap that ass but just so you know, Dante likes her alot..

Jeff smiled to himself after seeing the look on storm's face when he said Dante likes her..

I had taken a shower and wore a long tshirt before walking out of the bedroom to fix something to eat as i worked on my targets. Rex was a none issue because getting him where i wanted wasn't going to be a problem and besides that.. i was buying time so as to execute all my kill missions on the last day..

I heard the door bell and so i minimized everything on the laptop that had bern given to me by Dante then walked to the door and when I pulled it open, Storm was standing there with a serious look on his face.

Storm: hey..

Me: hey.

Immediately i said that, i looked away because his stare gave me butterflies in my stomach..

Storm: aren't you going to invite me in?..

Me: what do you want. You can say it from here then get the hell away from here..

Storm: wow!..

Me: wow what?.. how could you show up at that party like that, do you know how many people that could have lost their lives because of you, you shot over my head, you wanted to kill me too?

Storm: you are mad, that's a good thing. I shot over your head yes but i had no intention of killing you. I wanted him..

Me: yet you knew he's a Target i have marked. Do you know how hard it has been to convince Dante and Jonas that i have nothing to do with you?..

He flashed a smile and i couldn't understand what he was smiling about..

Me: wipe that smile off your face, its not even funny. You will get me in trouble with Dante..

Storm: I don't care about Dante. I will put a bullet in his head without thinking twice, of I'm still buying time its because....

He didn't finish that as his phone rang and he picked it almost immediately..

Storm: what?

Jeff: get the hell out of there, Dante is on his his way..

Storm: s**t!

Me: what?.

Storm: you were expecting him?.

Me: him who?

Storm: Dante... Why is he coming to see you at this time?

Me: you need to leave. I have seen enough dead bodies for the night.

Storm: I'm doing no Such shit..

He pulled out his gun and c****d it not moving an inch...
