Chapter82 Survival
Will I ever pay off all your debt?
Anything you need help that is
when you will remember that
am owning you."
"You know na, boss please do
this for me, and that ken again,
look into it, is like he’s been
kidnapped and my husband
is been accuse of it."
"So what is your husband
doing about it.?"
"He is still running around."
"Hmm.. running around my foot."
“Boss please” Miriam begged.
"Don’t worry I will do it for you,
just get my money ready."
"No problem, guys am leaving
take care."
"Miriam you have change a lot,
even telling us to take care, you
better remain where you are
and remember we love you,
we are the family you’ve got
remember that” the guys shake
her hands and she drove off.
The boss was so fond of her,
she has been like a daughter to
him and has always taking
care of her needs when she
was little until she left to work
at the Jackson family as
a maid.
"Guys, we need to look into
Miriam’s problem let’s see
what is going on and if Benson
is behind this, am going to wipe
is team off. No one toys with
my baby girl.
“Boss you don’t want to start
a fight with Benson because
of Miriam”, his second
reminded him.
"Benson has been on my list
for a long time now, maybe
is time to look into him, and
if he has a hand then we will
use one stone to kill two birds."
"Which is?"
"Mr. Jackson is not a small
man, finding his killers will take
Benson to jail while we will
be free to keep operating
and money will keep flowing
from the Jackson family."
"How did you intended to
do so?"
"Miriam will make that happen."
"Are you trying to use her?"
"No, not at all, she will be
grateful for what we did for her
and she will put in a good word
for us and then we will take
that opportunity to ask for
more money."
"That is crazy if you ask me."
"Yea, no one is normal in
this country anyways."
"Just leave Miriam out of
your madness, I thought you
were happy for her.?"
"I am happy for her, she is
my daughter you know, but I
have to eat too."
"Hahahah, boss, you are
right boss, but leave Miriam
out of this, we are going to help
her, and that is final"
"Am the boss here you know"
"Yes. And am in a position
to tell you when you are
going wrong"
"There is nothing like right or
wrong among criminals like us"
"I don’t agree with you, even
criminals know what is right
and wrong, they only choose to
do the wrong thing."
"Hmm, you are beginning to
sound like Miriam and I don’t
like it, I can’t loss all of you to
good things"
"Do the right thing boss" his
second said yelling at him as
he walks away.
"Damnit, we are criminals, what
do we care about the right
thing"? He murmured.
"By the way you check Benson
out", he yell at his second.
"I will, see you later."
"Heyy.. guys, come here what
did Miriam give to you guys?"
"Nothing boss"
"But I saw her giving you guys
something."
"Nothing boss, we were only
shaking her goodbye."
"Are you sure"?
"Yes boss."
"Ok, you can go."
"What is wrong with him, always
hungry for more money."
"Don’t mind him, his intake
of weed is increasing this days"
"What are we going to do
about ken? What are the poice
saying about my son? Tina start
crying a gain.
"Please mom, stop crying the
police will do something Gina
said, while Charity just looked
at Gina without saying anything.
Should I tell her? No, I need to do
that when no one is around."
"Just stop crying let the doctor
discharge you then I will go
look for ken" Charity said.
"Is ok, mom stop crying Charity
will look for him ok".
Charity went home that day
and was so full of anger.
"If ben is behind this, then he
needs to be behind bars by now".
"And how are you so sure
that Ben is behind it?"
"So why is he behaving so
odd?, he didn’t border to look
for his brother, he didn’t even
come to the hospital."
"Did you tell Gina about ken?"
Patrick ask.
"No, there are lots of people
around her now, I can tell her,
so what are we going to now
and end this"?
"We are trying to get
information from Victoria but
she is proving hard".
"Let me go and visit that gold
digger and teach…..
"Charity stop, will you? Don’t
go are spoil thing for us, we are
working on it."
"For how long Patrick"?
"For as long as it takes to save
the rest of the family, someone
is surely behind this and we
don’t know who it is, so don’t
rush into things you know
nothing about".
"Fine, am going to bed."
"Is too early to go to bed."
"Whatever, I just want to stay
in bed if not, I will go to that
Victoria’s house".
"Fine, stay in bed then".
"Hello ken, Gina is fine and
the babies too, everyone is fine
except you, they need you at
home, don’t you think you
should come home"?
"Yea, let me ask peter first
then I will come back home"
"Ok. Bye"
"What do you think"?
"Well for now we don’t know
what they are planning and we
don’t have a lead, I think you
should go home and be very
careful with the people around
you, mostly your brother".
"Alright then".
"Call me if you notice anything".
"Yea, thanks man".
"Yeaaa…. Ken is back" the
gate man shouted and all came
running out of their rooms.
"Ken, how are you? are you ok?"
"Yes, am fine, ken has never
seen this kind of caring before,
everyone including ben’s
mom were so worried because
of him.
Gina start crying once she set
her eyes on him, she thought
she lost him forever.
"You cannot loss me ok, stop
crying is fine, everything is fine."
When everyone has left Ken he
want to his room and start
reflecting what has happen.
His father is no more just like
that, because of victoria, no, is
not because of her, there are
people who wants him dead,
and they are hiding behind
victoria, she even said so.
What do I do for victoria to tell
me who these people are?
"Hey.. Ken are you ok?", Gina
interrupted his thoughts.
"Yea.. am fine, come here, how
are my babies doing"
"They are fine, what is troubling
you again? Did the police get
those people?".
"No Gina, I want you to be
very careful because there
are people who wants us dead,
and am suspecting ben to be
behind it"
What? And you are still sitting
here"
"Sheee.. bring your voice down,
you can’t just confront him like
that without evidence".
"You mean he even kill his
own father"?
"No, that is not what am saying
but let’s keep watching him
closely and if is true, I will kill
him myself".
"But why will he do such a thing"?
"Greed, what else, he is greedy
for wealth, power, and control".
"We need to let his mother
know about it".
"No…. never, don’t try it, I know
what to do….
Just then a knock land on
ken’s door.
"Who is that?"
"Is me sir, Uncle ben is here
to see you".
"What?, ben!… no..no..no..
don’t go, I will go and tell him
you are not around", Gina said.
"Don’t worry, I will go and see
him, he wouldn’t do anything to
me in my own house".
"Hey..
"Hey… sit", ken offer him a sit.
"Thanks.. how are you"?
"Am fine, thanks for asking".
"Heyy… am sorry ok, I didn’t
know it was that serious, I would
have come looking for you".
"Don’t be, am ok now"
"So who are the guys behind
this? Ben ask.
"I don’t know".
"They didn’t make any demands"?
"No, they just wanted to kill me,
after they kill father".
"So who are this people? Don’t
you recognize them?".
"Of Couse I will recognize
them if I see them, but where
will I see them. Is only victoria I
know, who is pretending not to know anything".
"So don’t you think we should
go to that Victoria and force
her to say something"?
"I don’t think so because every
move you make, they are watching".
"So what do we do"?
"We wait, let them make a
move first".
"Ok, sorry mann.. am so sorry
for not going to the hospital too".
"Is ok, Gina is fine now".
"Yea, take care".
"Ok, see you later" ben got up
and left.
"How did it go?, ben’s mother
was waiting at the door, ready
lash out at ben if he didn’t go
to ken’s house to apology to him.
Mom, is fine, I told you I will go.
So how is he?.
"He is fine, like I told you, he
don’t need my apologies to survive"
Ben said and walk straight to
his room.
