Snippet 4

"DEATHIES DEATH"

I

was woken up by my alarm and phone ringing at the same time. The phone kept on vibrating under the pillow irritating the fuck out of me. I maneuvered my hand on top of the side drawer searching for the alarm device and switched it off. Got to the phone under the pillow, answered without Looking.

Me.: "Yah talk to me I am listening.".

Voice.: "Sure sure Boza, I was calling to let you know, We got Those Fuck heads, We are just waiting for your Go ahead.". Everything was just blank. What is he talking about?

Me.: "Tips o Ohhhhhh!!......(Tips what are Ohhhhh!!!)" Shit, that wasn't a dream, all this time I wasn't fucken dreaming. Reality struck me hard, I ended up freezing in shock.

5 MINUTES LATER

Voice.: " Bozza.? Bozza.? Bozza.?. Are you still there.? Bozza.?" . .

Me.: "Yah, yah I am still here. Let me go to the Study for Skype.." I dropped...Shit, I have to gather myself before I go crazy again. My life is getting messed up and messed up. I checked the time and it was 02:30. I walked out of the bed going to my study...I video called Tips...

Tip.: "We are ready Bozza for your instructions,.."

Me.: "I want you to fucken skin that mother fucker alive, when you are done cut him in half with a grinder, Don't forget you start at the bottom going up. The rest you will deal with them .. ".

Tips.: "Ela Java tlisa kgomu eo retlo go e buwa, Ke itsitse Boza o tlile gore re e buwe e Santsane e phela...Wa nkolota chief (Eh Java bring that cow so that we can slaughter it alive, I knew it that Boss is going to say, we must skin him alive..You owe me chief..) Oh, I so love slaughtering people..".

Me.: "And when you slaughter a bull, what do you start with.?".

Tips.: "Dithala( Balls)" He laughed after saying that..".

Me.: "Don't forget to stop him from losing a lot of blood, you still have to cut him in half, if you don't stop him from losing a lot of blood he will die before you get to the hatching part.".

Tips.: "Boza you, know I only destroy, I know nothing about operating people from losing blood. I only know how to take out a bullet and stitching that's all.".

Me.:" It doesn't matter how you are doing it, You are not saving his life."

Me.: "Tips, entlek you will send me the video. You are going to make me late for work.." I ended the video call and walked out of my study and went to the indoor gym. After 2 hours and 30 minutes, I went to the Bedroom for the hygiene process. Well, I usually go for a run after the gym, but I am no longer that person. After taking the shower, I went back to my study... When I got there I started checking my emails... After checking my emails I went downstairs for breakfast prepared by my wonderful helper. While I was eating my breakfast a buzzer went off indicating that there's someone at the gate. I got up and went to respond to the intercom, while I was still on the way a very excruciating heartache and a massive headache struck me hard, Making me groan like nobody's business... I walked to the couch that was on the passage and threw myself on top of it and tried to call my helper to come and assist me.

Me.: "Sis Nomthandazo.... Ahhhh!!! Sis Nomthandazo!!! Shit, Mhhh Hlhlhlhl ahh!." She came to where I was, She had these confused and surprised facial expressions. Well it's because I am not used to calling her by her full name, I only call Her Sis N..

Sis N.: "Mlungu wam, Yintoni Ingxaki. u right.?.. Hayi maan Ubonakala nje ngoMtu ongekho righti..(Boss, What's the problem are you alright, No you look like someone who is not alright ).".

Me.: "Ao sis Nomthandazo kunini ndi ku ncanda ngo ku ndibaza ngalelo gama.. Ndise ntlungwini, Mara ku kho mtu e gating be ndi cela u mvulele kqala, ma uvela khona be ndi cela u ndizele nge zi Painkillers sis wam.(Ao sis Nomthandazo I stopped you from calling me with that name. I am in pain, but there's someone at the gate please open for that person first, then please bring me, Pain killers.)." She went to respond to the intercom and she came back.

Sis N.:" Nomzane, Ndiyeza diyo that I'painkillers ndiya buya ngoku.( Sir I am going to fetch the painkillers I am coming back now.)" She left rushing to fetch the painkillers. A moment later when the doorbell rang. I was feeling a lil bit better, so I got up and went to open the door... I opened the door and was surprised by the last person I was expecting, General Van Der Duizen standing on my doorstep. Yes, I was really surprised to see him because this guy never sets foot in my house, never in a million years. He would rather call mara availing himself is odd. . .

Me.: "General, To what pleasure do I owe this visit.? Please come in." I made a path for him and he entered. I closed the door and followed him inside..." Please have a seat.".

Sis N.: "Nants Amanzi ne zi Painkillers Nomzane wam.(Here are your Painkillers and Water..)" .

Me.: "Enkosi Sis N, ndingaba intoni nga phandle Kwa kho Sis wam, inkedama engana nto.(Thank you Sis N, what would I be without you, an orphan without no one and nothing.)"

Sis N.: "Hayi wena futhi soka maan.." She chuckled, "What would you like to drink sir.?" She said, looking at General with a huge smile...

General.: "No, thank you I am fine mam.." Sis N, walked out of the room giving us privacy.

Me.: "General what brings you here.?"

General.: "I got a call from the Hospitals. I......." I interrupted him .

Me.:"Please tell me The Deathies are OK," . .

General.: "No one wanted to deliver, this message because, you would fuck them up badly..." He chuckled bitterly And what the Fuck does that mean, Entlk what the fuck is going on here..?.

Me.: "Hey man, I don't have time, I have to be on my way to work as we are speaking." He started sweating and became uneasy....

General.: "They left us, man. May their souls rest in peace." I stood up and walked to the door.

Me.: "Leave my house, man. Leave before shit hits the fan. You are talking nonsense and I am not going to listen to that shit." He stood and walked towards me and the door. He stood in front of me and took out Medallions. That's when it sank that they have left us.

General.: "Sorry for your loss man. And please send condolences to their families." He walked away. I banged the door and slid behind it until my but touched the ground still holding the medallions with my hands. Everything was shut down. Moments later I stood up and went upstairs to change, I was no longer going to work. Afterward, I went to the gym to drown my sorrows. While I was at the gym I had a flashback of how we met with these guys, What we went through, Our Bad memories, and Good memories. Well, they had stolen my car wheels, it was 15 years ago, I attended a Business function, that was held in Goodfellas Nightclub in the middle part of Klerksdorp. The funny part is that they left me a note that reads as follows.

*********

Dear: Whoever you are

We are sorry we stole your wheels, Nice ride by the way. We have to sell them to get a fix, but you have 10 hours before we get a buyer...If we sold them we can show you where we sold them, but only if you could help us with rehabilitation., You can meet with us at Flamwood, That's where we first saw your car. We are car guards there.

With regards

Street crew

.****

Well, I did help them with the rehabilitation, after Torturing them for a week using their addiction of course. After the rehabilitation, I introduced them to Military life, since then we have never looked back. You know I was like they're Brother and they used to treat me like I am their big bro. Now I blame myself for introducing them to Military life, look now I killed them. As for that Dick headed Obidike. He is going to curse the day he was conceived.

.NIGERIA.

OBIDIKE'S HOUSE.

NARRATED

Obidike was in a meeting in his Study with other cult members and their cult leader who was only present using a Hologram..

Cult Leader.: "That was a foolish move you pathetic fool.!!!. Obidike how could you do such a stupid thing.?" . .

Obidike.: "I...I am sor...sorry The Great One, I didn't think before I acted".

Cult L.: "You are irresponsible, you should have waited, now it's clear that it's you who did that... Now I regret giving you that book of spells..You know I should kill you now, But no I am not going to waste my energy because they are coming for you and whoever will be behind your Sorry ass.. They are the ones who will do the killing, By that time I will be long gone.. I am not ready to go back to Hell, I have been out of that Shit hole for over half a millennium. I will be daimn out of my mind if i go back because of a stupid and useless thing like you. You know I wonder why they haven't attacked, maybe they are planning something big, if I were you i would kill myself instantly.." That's when it sank that he shouldn't have Sold that Boy's soul to Hell, because now the wheel has turned, and he has Signed his death Warren without realizing.

Cult memb 1.: "What about us.? Are you leaving us behind too? The great One.?".

Cult L.: "Shut up Udoka!!!!.You are just like him, you are all fools!!!. You are just useless, pathetic scumbags."

Cult memb 2.:" You are going to leave us, after what we have sacrificed for, we don't have families and children because of you..".

Cult Leader.: "Take out another word Chekwuemeka and see as I make you mute, if I were you I would come up with ideas to defend yourself from the dark cloud that is coming for you. They are coming for you and time is not on your side.Tick tock tick tock tick tock.. " He laughed out loud and disappeared.

Cult memb 3.: "You can't just leave us like that!!!!!!!, At Least help us with something!!."

Obidike.: "Save your energy Akoko he is gone.".

Akoko.: "Shut up!! Obidike shut the hell up, you are the Architect of this debacle in the first place it's your fault. You know Mother must be tumbling in her grave, disappointed by your doings." .

Obidike.: "I didn't know what I did, will come back and bite me, Brother. If I knew, do you think I would have done it.?" His brother Akoko kept quiet in defeat with his jaws clenched.

Odoka.: "We must stop pointing fingers at Obidike and come up with a way forward, There's a way to break the spell right Obidike.?" . .

Obidike.: "I hate to say we can't...But I have a plan, There's a friend of mine who owes me a favor, Her name is ZI, She is a professor at a Local University. She specializes in Sorcery, Voodoo, and other Black magic aspects.".

Odoka.: "Can we do that as soon as possible, Time is not on our side."

Obidike.: "We can go visit her even now, Let me just call her now to schedule a meeting." Obidike walked out of the room. After a while, Obidike came back to the study.."Well we can go, She said we can come over." They got inside the car and it slowly drove off. They were using Obidike's car since he was the one who knows the way. They arrived at the Local University, parked in the visitors' parking lot, and made their way in. They walked to Professor ZI's Office and knocked and knocked without response.

Voice.: "I am sorry Gentlemen something came up, I had to attend it with immediate effect." They turned and looked at where the voice was coming from. They found a Beautiful dark skin lady with dreadlocks, having an ear to ear grin.. Obidike smiled too.

Obidike.:" Ooooh Prof ZI, it has been a long time, I haven't seen you in a while, Greetings.." He stretched out for a hug, she did the same..Obidike had told her about him changing.

Prof ZI.:"It has been a long time indeed. Greetings Gentlemen."She greeted them using handshakes. She unlocked her office. They followed her inside... "Please have a seat" They all sat down.

Obidike.:"I am here to cash in that favor, ZI." She took out an ear to ear smile again....

Prof ZI.: "I know and I am already having a plan. But the plan is very demanding." Obidike and Akoko looked at each other.

Akoko.: "We are not going to be choosy, We will consider at stake." . .

Prof ZI.: "So be it. You know that everything that is vanquished must go somewhere right.?" They all nodded..."Good, in my Book of spells I came across a chapter that talks about condemned spirits that are trapped in Tartarus. I am willing to summon those spirits and give them an Apparition to the land of the living, But do that I am going to need so…. ..many things." They were looking at her attentively. "We will need a lot of Royal blood, Girls' blood, but not just girls, pure girls, 10 Ankole cows, and wild goats. They must all be Bulls. I will come with the rest of the items for the ritual and the ritual must be strictly practiced during midnight of a full moon."

Chekwue.:"We are three days away from a Monsoon, Time is not on our side." . .

Akoko.:"We have to use.... " Prof ZI interrupted Akoko . .

Prof ZI.:"I am sorry sir... Come in!!! Matilda." They looked at each other confused...Then there was a knock on the door "I said come in!! Matilda." A lady came in and they were still shocked.

Matilda.:" I am sorry to interrupt. Greetings Gentlemen." They greeted back. " Um uh Prof you forgot about the meeting, We are still waiting for you.." . .

Prof ZI.: "For heaven's sake I didn't forget about the meeting, I told you I will be back in 15. I am still left with a few minutes, so please let me be.." She tried to talk but Prof stopped her.

Matilda.: "But.."

Prof.: "Haaaah Shhh Matilda, I am behind you. Now go go go dear I am coming." She said, pushing her lightly and Matilda giggled. . .

Matilda.: "OK OK.Please hurry up, you know you have to finish up the presentation or will kiss that sponsorship goodbye." Matilda left the room..

Prof ZI.: "I am sorry Gentleman, you were saying.?" Akoko cleared his throat.

Akoko.: "As I was saying we need to use this upcoming full moon as an advantage because we won't know what will happen, So we have to call in favors, ASAP." . .

Obidike.: " You are right brother, This might be our last time we have to use it wisely." .

Prof.: " Gentlemen, it was nice meeting with you, but I have to go. Obie my friend we will get in touch when you get everything." They shook hands again.

Obidike.:"Ok. Thank you for your time Prof, we will get in touch." They went outside of the office followed by Prof ZI, she locked her office and they went different directions.
