CHAPTER NINE

Davies was shocked to see himself in front of his father, "so you are the one behind all this, you this monster again". At this point, Chief Edwin had to pour out his heart to his son, he apologised to him for all he has done to him, first of all by telling his mother's life, secondly sending him packing out of the house and thirdly for tormenting in his dreams and all of that "please forgive me son, I have done alot to you but I was not able to defeat you, you poured fire on me on several occasion how powerful you are, I'm proud of you son. I seeked for this opprtunity to talk to you an thank God finally you are here, I just wanted to tell you that I'm no longer part of them because they were after your life, I'm just here waiting for death to come and take me, I can see the spirit all over the room and I know I can't escape it but I just need you to do one thing to make me happy, find a place in your heart to forgive me". Davies saw the sincerity of his father and how much he needed his forgiveness, he remembered those years of pain and depression his father caused him, he cried, his father never deserved his forgiveness but he remembered the one who forgave him years back when he asked for the same forgiveness so as a believer, he forgave his dad "I forgive you dad, I remember when I was a sinner like you who needed forgiveness of sins from my maker, and he did, he forgave me washed me and gave me power over all the works of my enemies and that was why all your evil plot against me dad didn't work, it was he who has been keeping me, daddy I think you need this power". Davies used the opportunity to preach to his father and lead him to Christ just the way Pa James did to him, he was happy he won a soul, they embrace eachother once again after a long time, father and son [smiles].

Meanwhile, Rambo went to his father's house to visit his mum and then talk to his father. He got home, went to his mother's room, he came close to her and held her hands, he was crying because he could only see life draining gradually out of her, he shouted in tears as he could no longer hold his emotions, just then he noticed someone at his back, he knew it was his father "what are you doing here Joe?", "Mr registra I came here to see you". They walked down to the sitting room, but before they could get there, Rambo was already firing his father with questions "how could you do such a thing to your wife, what kind of a husband are you, just because of fame and wealth, you are taking a life so dear to me ah",

Mr Mike: Who told you all this?

Rambo: Don't bother asking me that foolish question but you know what I'm talking about.

Mr Mike: Anyway, I did for our own benefit.

Rambo: I am not among your benefit old man, I can't see myself benefitting from my own mother's blood, Gorbid, you are so heartless dad I can't believe you did this.

Mr Mike: Joe you know I love your mum so much and I will never want to do this to her but....

Rambo: But what?.....

Mr Mike: But I had to do it to get what I wanted [he was already shouting], don't you like where you are now, can you compare our former state to what we have achieved so far, we've been dying in poverty and penury for a very long time now, all my collegues are higher than I am, they mock and woo me every passing day, I couldn't take it anymore I had to hold the bull by the horn and I have not even gotten to where I ought to be, just look at me an ordinary registra in a university while my mates are there handlings states and nations....

Rambo: Enough of all these dad enough, you are really a disappointment, now listen to yourself, "you had to take the bull by horn" by sucking my mother, your wife's blood, you want to take her life just to compete with collegues.

Mr Mike: Look at who is talking, what got you to this position you are, leader of the red horn confraternity, was it not the blood of other people you shed, people whom you have caused pain and tears to their families and you are here condemning me while you are the chief of blood shedding.

Rambo: You were the cause of all this, you all started it, instead of planning for a better future for me as your only child, you decided to ruin my life.

Mr Mike: This is the better future I have planned for you if only you will roll with me, I'm doing all this for you so you can get to the height which I would not even get to, that's a father's love for his son.

Rambo: To hell with your love.

Mr Mike: I think you have to be going now before someone will visit and see you here, people mustn't know you are my son and you know that.

Rambo stood up to take his leave, they walked down together, getting close to the door, his father reminded him that there operation be minimised for now and that he shouldn't come close to the house for any reason. Rambo left to meet his boys and to face inspector because he knew he will be coming that night. Inspector eventually didn't come but he called on phone and ask why he didn't see Davies, Rambo lied to him how the men he sent to get him was killed in the process but inspector did not believe him, "hmn hmn, Rambo, Rambo, Rambo, I called you three times, you are actually playing with fire but you will not know until you know and I don't think I can take it anymore from you, you are not a trusted fellow, you are a coward, a fool and just a wasted investment, you are just a small boy playing smart and I know how to deal with people like you, I'm done having business with you but I'm coming for you, you can't escape me, goodbye".

Mr Mike invited Davies over to his office as his son has told him about Davies that he was one of them, but Mr Mike has not seen him before but what his son told him made him believe having ridden on the third dimension. Mr Mike has been seeking for promotion for a long time, he has begged Davies' father several times when he was still a member to get him connected to grand master for promotion as someone in the upper chamber or as a higher collegue, but Mr Edwin gave him no ears, he was only after his own achievements. That morning, when Davies came in, he greeted the registra, the registra didn't bother to answer, he shooked Davies hands and began to recite their cult creed, he didn't bother to make enquiry if Davies really belonged to any secret cult, after the recite, he said their popular word "no blood, no glory", Davies was just watching with suprise but he understood everything especially after the registra has just said "no blood, no glory", he played along he didn't say anything but he listened carefully to what the registra has to say. Before now, investigations has been going on since it was after the employment of the new registra Mr Mike that this chaos began, several lecturers have been interviewed including Davies but no result yet. So after that day, Davies met the police officier in charge and told her his experience with the registra that morning. The registra told Davies during the discussion that he needed promotions that he was tired of been an ordinary registra, "I have begged your father several times but he refused that was why I called you to help me out, but why didn't tell me that you are one of us and I heard your father was excominicated after all the wealth he had acquired, hmmn what a pity, please next time I will like to have you and your father here so we can build these relationship together" this were the regisra's words. The police officer asked Davies if he had any evidence but he said he had none because he wasn't expecting that, the police officier advised Davies to follow him up and that in case there be any meeting he will have with him again, he should have a record of their conversation.

Countdown to the period of time grand master gave inspector to kill Chief but he is yet to, he promised Chief that he will kill his son right before him, if not killing Chief was easy since he was alone but now it seems as if he can't keep to his promise because grand master was after his life, he said he will kill him immediately the time he gave him elapses. Inspector invited Commando to his house for an assignment since Rambo was not trusted, he wanted to try his second but this time to Chief Edwin. After Commando met with inspector, inspector eventually turned the heart of Commando and his boys against Rambo, inspector promised them a lot if they roll with him though it was form of betrayal but they couldn't resist the prize after all Rambo is not a good fellow.
