72 HOURS KILL MISSION

72 HOURS KILL MISSION EPISODE SIX

Have you ever known someone so well then all over sudden you feel like you don't know them anymore, that was me the day Debby left at night with her gun. Where the hell was she going at that time of the night and just how did she start operating guns, was she a criminal, an undercover cop I mean I couldn't wrap my head around it. Just a few minutes she had warned me about coming home that late yet she was on her way going to God knows where...

I turned and tossed in bed, checking out the time but she didn't come back soon and I don't know how I fell asleep but i did..

The night was long enough and when morning came, I thought I was going to see Debby but she wasn't back yet. I called her but she didnt pick her calls so i prepared and left for work as usual but on getting there, immediately i changed and switched on the TV in the club, there's breaking news about a robbery in some bank and the suspects not being identified because of masks but the CCTV caught three guys and one that looked like a female thug..

I was on to that news for a second thinking what if that female was actually Debby. I couldn't tell, they wore stuff that no one could really tell who was who and i never really got to see those attires in Debby's house.. was I being paranoid?..

"Sad right?" One of the ladies I work with came standing next to me. I briefly turned to look at her then I continued wiping off the tables...not that I didn't want to engage with her but my mind was occupied by my thoughts..

Are you okay?

She asked and i nodded then went to the back and called Debby again but she didn't pick.. where the hell was she and why wasn't she picking her calls. Did she even know how worried about her i was?..

* * * * *

I went to prepare breakfast back at the hide out after I had been informed that the the supplies had been brought. Rex brought in supplies every two days in a week so that no one would really have to leave if they were not going for a mission..

Erika found me in the kitchen and usually there was a little bit of tention between us.. I didn't understand why she didnt like me but i tried to keep of her space..

She looked at me and did stuff purposely to get me talking but I ignored her. She was like this little kid seeking attention and the ghetto in me was about to give her a good cat fight, you know. Sometimes talking only does not accord you the respect you deserve from bullies I was raised the ghetto way. If things go bad, we square it out the ghetto way..

Me: you need something Erika?

Erika: what do you think I would need from you, you have an ass and the front is flat, i do men.

Me: wow!.. you know you are being ride right?..

Erika: you need to get out of this place. Its not good for you..

Me: you don't get to decide for me whats good and what's not. I understand you don't like me and that's okay but can we atleast not rub each other's feathers?

Dante walked in before she couldn't respond to that and before he could say anything, she threw her arms over his shoulders and started to kiss him and interestingly enough, he didn't stop her..

When she was done doing what she thought would make me Jealous, she walked out leaving both of us standing there and I got my eyes off him when the milk on the cooker started spilling..

Me: oh s**t!

I said trying to reach for the knob but he pushed me a side and turned it off..

Dante: I got it..

I didn't speak a word, not even a thanks. Not because of what had just happened between him and Erika but a whole bunch of things..

Dante: aren't you going to talk to me?..

I continued preparing breakfast. Made sandwiches for everyone and he decided to help. I didn't want to confront him over the conversation at the table given the fact that I was already a threat for reasons I didn't know. If I was going to survive in there, i needed to be as quiet as a mouse..

Dante: look....about me and Erika...

Me: I don't want to hear it because you don't owe me any explanation.. just tell her to keep off me..

Dante: understood..

He continued helping with breakfast and it was awkward that none of us spoke about anything..

* * * * * *

Later on that day, I got a call from Debby and since I was busy at the club, I couldn't talk to her. We had a briefing with our boss then after that he called me to his office and we had a word on Rex..

My boss told me that Rex wanted me to help him with something and he would pay me so well for. I asked why me and he told me I was the type of the person he was looking for. I was in for the money so I didn't care to ask what job it was given that I had been with him the previous night but he didn't do anything.

I got back to work, I didn't call Debby probably because I was still mad at her, I don't know why I was but I felt like there were some things she ought to have told me. How would I explain to her family if she went pissing off the wrong guys and get iced. How would I start explaining her being in a gang and how would I convince everyone that I wasn't part of her gangster life when I'm living in the same house with her?

Don't get me wrong, I did gangster jobs too until. I got the job the club but atleast she knew about it, I told her I had a change of mind and I wanted to be better not some bitter ghetto like woman. I wanted to have class and well... Its not like I did better at having class but damn!.. she should have told me she was a gangster..

* * * * *

Rex showed up at the hideout, that was way after breakfast and he said Dante and I were going on some mission. I wasn't told what the mission was but i was a bit hesitant given the fact that the previous night could have been me exploding in a house. Why me?..

I saw how everyone looked at me when Rex said Dante and I were going on a mission then I remembered Erika's words when she said i was not the first to die.. i took a deep breath and Rex said i could go dress up in some tights and boots then Dante would tell me what to do after that..

When i got to my room, i thought long and hard. Something was not right and I wasn't going to walk into a death trap..

I got dressed up like Rex had requested then a few minutes later Erika walked in..

Erika: first mission huh! Should i trust you with my man?..

Me: your man, you think thats what I'm here for?..

Erika: of cause not.. but I've seen how you look at him, anyway... all the best out there...thats if you will make it back alive..

Me: what the hell is that supposed to mean?..

Erika: you will find out..

She winked and started to walk out but I didn't let her. I turned her to face me and she instead landed a slap on my face. I grabbed her hair and slapped her back and before we knew it we were in a real fight.. i pushed her to the Wall and kicked her in the stomach but she grabbed my leg and pushed me back and when i went at her again, she dived on me and we both fell. She got on top of me and started punching me in the face, I tried as much to block her punches but she was very agressive like she really wanted to kill me or just make sure i wasn't going to go anywhere with Dante.

I rolled her over and gave her a few punches on her face and she stared to scream just to get me it trouble and in a few seconds, the boys came running into the room..

Dante: are you kidding me!

He said hoisting me up as Oliver pulled her up. She tried to come at me again but Oliver held on to her..

Rex hadn't gone, he heard the commotion and when he walked into the room, he asked the boys to let go of us..

Rex: what's going on?..

We didn't respond because personally o didn't even know why we were fighting..

Rex: no one feel like talking?..

He asked again and there was silence still..

Rex: okay, everyone to the back of the house.. Now!

Everyone started walking out on Rex's command and we found ourselves at the back of the house. In the yard...

We stood there not sure what plans he had but it sure didn't seem like it was good.

Rex: i don't allow anyone to play in my place of business. You are only two here and you cannot stand each other?.. what was that about?..

Me: she started the fight..

Erika: you deserved it..

Rex: I'm I going to have a problem with both of you here?

Me: no...

Erika: i dont want her here.. i heard her make a call to someone then when she saw me walk in she quickly hanged up and when i confronted her she got aggressive...

Me: you know that's not true..

Erika: you are calling me a liar.. she is a traitor and we cannot trust her. We keep her here, the next thing will be the cops coming here to clear us out..

Oliver: if you ask me, i think Erika is right.

Cyrus: i vote her out too...

Elvis: before we get all judgmental and stuff, can Erika prove she really called someone?..

Rex: get her phone..

Cyrus started walking towards the house but Rex stopped him.

Rex: not you... Justin can you get the phone..

Justin: sure boss..

He said as he made his way to the house and it took him a few minutes before he got back with my phone dripping wet.

Me: what the hell?

Justin: Erika is right, we can't trust her.. i found the phone in the sink... In her bathroom..

I shook my head in disbelief as he asked everyone but me and Dante to go inside and they did..

Rex: tell me the truth..

Me: I did not do it..

Rex: do you believe her?..

Dante: yes.. i dont think she did what Erika accused her of.

Rex: why do you think that?

Dante: because Erika has been all over her face since she got here.. its been so obvious that she doesn't like her.

He lowered his gun with his eyes fixed on me.. if Dante hadn't defended me, he really would have shot me.

Rex: you have a chance to redeem yourself in this mission you are going to. Dante, take Elvis, Jasper and Cyrus with you. I want result...

Dante: yes sir..

Rex: you fail on this Mission...you know what will happen right?..

I nodded wiping off the tears as i watched him leave..

Dante: come on.. lets go..

I followed him with alot of questions rushing through my head.. why would Justin baptize my phone in water and why were they fighting me?..

We got to the van and we got in. Dante gave me a gun and briefed me on where we were going. It was a kill job but all the details were kept from me..

Dante: we have to seat in the car until its all clear. The operation has to be ten minutes tops. Elvis and Cyrus you will cover the front entrance as the three of us go in..

Me: should i be worried of bombs?..

Dante: no.. there will be no bombs..

Half an hour later we jumped out of the vehicle with masks on our faces and we headed straight into the building. I didn't know what we were going to do but my mission was to cover Dante. Jasper and I were going to be watching his back as he did what he was supposed to do.

When we got into the building it was nothing like what we had expected as its like guys were waiting for us in there and I knew it was serious when Jasper was shot and then Dante dived on me when the bullets started flying.. we crawled on the ground till we got to a Conor and we took cover..

Me: what is going on?

I asked Dante holding my gun shooting towards the direction the bullets had come from and he shot too.

Dante: I have no idea..

I looked at him not sure i wanted to trust him. Not after his call with Rex so i turned and held a gun to his face..

Me: i heard you last night... Talking to Rex about me.. was this a plan to get me killed?..

Dante: Davina!

Me: answer me or i swear...

I didnt finish that sentence because someone shot me on the back from behind and I fell on my face....
