THE KILL JOB

THE KILL JOB EPISODE FOURTEEN

Kepha was quiet the entire time and if I could read his mind, I would say he had already killed Sabina and found his way out of the mess but Sabina had well built guys watching over her that we had to think of another way of getting out. Sabina looked so confident on whoever she was expecting but who the hell could that be because if it's Peterson, we had left him a sleep.

My thoughts were interrupted by the guy who brought the hot water that Sabina had asked for in a small basin and from the look of it, it had boiled properly.

Me: okay wait, this is not funny. You can find another way to pass your time.

Sabina: you don't know me at all do you, this is nothing compared to the pain of a bullet.

Kepha: who are you really?

Sabina: am Sabina. The lady you had locked in your Servant Quarter remember, the one who you did not want your wife to find out about?

The guy who had water in a basin put it on a chair beside me as the other one held my other hand tightly behind my back. The other one then took my right hand and dipped it into the hot water holding it in for a while. I tried to pull it out but he wouldn't let go. This method of tortures that Sabina had chosen was really going to kill me before my time. Damn this girl, how had she gotten this smart?

Sabina: now deep it in cold water.

She commander and the guy did as he had been asked and the ice cold water was a relief. Kepha was watching me all scared and he even tried to protest but his mouth was taped so he was left to watch but not speak..

Sabina: that is just the beginning of what i have planned for both if you. Do it again..

I had to brace myself for pain but so help me God if I broke free and got out of this position, it's her face I would dip in that water.

Me: you know normally when someone tortures the other, its always for a reason. What do you want with us?

I managed to ask trying to hold myself despite the pain still trying to pull my hand out..

Sabina: dip in the the cold..

She instructed again.

Sabina: your biggest mistake was letting me go that day. Do you think you were the only person who was hired to kill Peterson?

When I heard that my face lit up, what was she talking about? Kepha and I looked at each other then looked at her.

Me: what are you talking about?

Sabina: you should have killed me when you had the chance. I had a job, to spy and seduce Peterson, he was to tell me everything I needed to know about the company then eventually I would have killed him.

Me: that doesn't make sense. If that is the case then why was I sent to do the same job you were asked to?

She typed something on her phone, infact it's like she was chatting with someone the entire time and only looked up to respond to my questions or give instructions.

Sabina: well, Tom knew you were going to find away to save Peterson because you were too loyal to him so he had a back up plan. That week, I managed to have him send his wife away so that I could do what had taken me there then you showed up and screwed up my plans...

When she finished telling me that, she got up and asked the guy to take the water away before she headed out. I had no idea where she was going but all this time she had been so twisted. When she started talking, I kind of thought that Peterson was the boss she was talking about because from the way they related it felt like they had a thing. Women will always be the down fall of men, how did he not even see this all that time he had been living with her as his house help unless all these stories were lies. Sabina had told us alot of stuff but now the problem was knowing what was true and what was not.

The guys left too so kepha and I were left alone for a while after untapping his mouth with a strict warning to keep our mouths shut. See the thing about being in an enemie's territory is that you have to obey every word and play cool because showing how mighty you are can only get you killed especially in our case. There is no information they needed from us so we were basically useless to them and all they wanted was revenge for I don't know what.

Me: we need to find a way out of here.

Kepha: how is your hand?

Me: the ice cold water some how helped, it's a bit painful but I can manage. If whoever her boss is shows up before we get out of here, we might never walk out alive.

Kepha: I have a plan.

He said moving closer towards me.

The thing i loved about kepha is that he had this we "are deep in this s**t together" kind of attitude and even though we were stuck in this mess because of me, never did he blame me for it but always tried to find a way out.

ST. MICHAEL'S HOSPITAL

Angie had waited for kepha but he did not show up. It was now close to 1:00am in the morning and his phone was not going through yet she never had Henry's number.

When she couldn't reach both kepha and Henry she called Liz who happened to be Jonathan's wife and when she heard what had happened she drove to the hospital almost immediately. Liz and Angie never got along because Liz always believed Angie being the only sister Jonathan had she took all the attention from him, there is nothing that Jonathan would not do for her and at times, Liz's demands would be put on hold because Angie came first..

At the hospital they were forced to be there for each other without looking at their differences because even in life there are situations that force us to talk to the people we don't talk to for example jumping into someone's umbrella without asking them just to avoid being rained on. Yeah that's just one situation and there are many more

The doctors had taken too long in there that the two ladies were beginning to think Jonathan wasn't going to be okay. Angie got up and approached one of the nurses who told her there had been complications and that's why the entire thing was talking so long.

Angie: but at the end of it all he is going to be okay right?

Nurse: I can't tell you that for sure.

Angie: then what is your job here when everything I ask you don't know?

Nurse: I am not a doctor, am a nurse, so please sit down and wait for the doctors feedback.

When Liz saw Angie getting tough on the nurse she went where she was and had her sit on one of the chairs.

Liz: Jonathan is a fighter, he will make it out of that surgery alive.

Angie: you don't know that.

Liz: but I believe it.

She looked at her briefly then looked at her phone to avoid having a conversation with Liz but Liz took the opportunity to clear out the air.

Liz: Angie I know we have not gotten a long for quite some time and...

Angie: whose fault is it?

Liz: it's my fault and I just want to make things right between us.

Angie did not look up from her phone.

Liz: every woman's wish is to have her husband's attention and have him have time even for his kids, Jonathan hasn't been that for us and if it's not work, it is Angie this Angie that, you are a woman now and you are married, you should be able to understand my frustrations.

Angie stopped whatever she was doing and sat up leaning on the wall listening to Liz.

Liz: he is your brother I know that but I feel like there are some boundaries you are crossing. Is it necessary to always call Jonathan on everything, isn't your husband capable of handling those situations you call Jonathan for?

When Angie heard those words she got up and walked out of the hospital and went to the parking lot. She tried calling kepha again but the phone was still off. She paced up and down wondering what could really be happening. "If kepha really was on his way, he should have gotten here by now" she thought to herself and her thoughts were interrupted by Liz who came out to check on her..

Liz: I hope I did not say something wrong...

Angie: listen, I don't know what problems you are having with your husband but leave me the hell out of it. Jonathan is an adult and if there is something you don't like about him sit him down and talk to him, am sure he will understand your concerns. Don't use me as a scape goat for your misunderstandings and don't talk about my husband either, if I had a good side of me, this not the way to get on it. I did not call you here to get lectures from you but I called you here because you need to be here when the doctors say if the one person we both care about will come out of that room alive or dead. The rest of your mellow drama keep to yourself...

With those words she left her there and went back inside and sat at a corner with her arms folded to her chest obviously not wanting to be disturbed.

Sabina had been gone for a while and we were not sure of what time it was or if she was coming back..kepha's idea had worked. He cut off the tapes that were used to tie my hands with his teeth and I did the same then we were free. The door was not locked because they thought we couldn't get off those tapes.

I slowly opened the door and we got out ready to take out anyone that came at us despite not having our guns. When I was a gangster, there was so much I had to learn for survival in cases where I didn't have a gun to defend my self, with a gun in hand I had an upper hand to the enemy but this time we had to do it the hard way.

We knew that there were at least four guys in the house assuming Sabina had left so one of them having been seated on the couch I slowly walked towards him, grabbed his neck and twisted it until there was no more life left in him then I took the two guns he had one of them being mine, something I did not intend to walk out of there without.

Kepha gave one of the guys a header that reminded me of a guy called kompany, that football striker whose header was as hot as a penalty kick, that was no joke and the guys reaction almost made me burst into laughter as I thought his head had left the neck rolling on the floor, okay that's not funny but the noice he made attracted the two more guys who came rushing in and the good thing is we had the guns so I shot the two as kepha stood there pointing his gun to the one he has turned into a Football.

Kepha: besides Sabina, who do you take your orders from?

The guy was silent looking at kepha not threatened at all by the gun he was holding in his hand.

Kepha: see you better tell us because the thing is am killing you anyway.

The guy responded with a go to hell and the next thing i heard was two shots in his chest and he dropped.

Kepha was a very thorough human being but at the same time so sweet, before killing someone he would reason out with them in a funny way. I on the other hand didn't have time for negotiations, I did what needed to be done then solve the problems that comes with it later on.

We got out of that place catching the watch man off guard and killing him before he could react to seeing us. We had collected the phones from the house and both of them happened to be useless. Mine had crushed to a point the screen just lit with no response while kepha's was off due to lack of battery charge so we couldn't call Angie to confirm the condition of Jonathan. We left for the hospital anyway with one of the cars that had been parked in the compound. It was a vitz so I assumed it was Sabina because I find that car too girlish for a man.

"You should not be running around with me like this, you should be a footballer" I said halfway Into our drive and kepha laughed. I was just trying to kill the silence since I could not tell what was happening in his mind, him not being able to reach out to Angie really bothered him.

We drove for a while and eventually got to the hospital and on getting to the reception we saw Angie seated at a corner but she had dozed off and rested her head on the not so comfortable wall. kepha rushed to where she was and tapped her severally and she woke up.

Angie: babe are you okay?

She said checking him out making sure he really was.

Kepha: am okay.

She hugged him then she broke down and cried in his arms and I stood there watching them before taking a seat besides a lady who seemed to be a bit uncomfortable with the lovey dovey scene going on beside us.

Well it wasn't long before the doctors walked out and both kepha, Angie and the woman was seated beside me got up and that's when I learned that she was actually Jonathan's wife.

Doctor: you are here for Jonathan?

Liz: yes am his wife.

Doctor: well we had some complications, a bullet was stuck in his ribcage and we did our best to remove it..

Angie: tell us what we can understand, is he alive?

Even before he could answer that, a nurse came rushing out to get the doctor having panicked and he left us hanging not knowing what was really going on...
