episode 48
“Where on earth did the Tigers get those kind of guns from?”Slimmy kept asking himself as they drove back to the mansion. They got to the mansion after twenty five minutes of driving and sped in recklessly.
All the boys remaining in the mansion assembled to the front of the house as they heard the cars driving in, from every part of the house where they were.
Slimmy wasted no time in stepping out of the car after parking. He was closely followed by Rough and Kong. He didn’t go to the main entrance but took the left side of the house, walking like he was rushing to pick up something at the backyard. Kong and Rough followed him while the rest of the boys stayed behind.
“Who were those guys that appeared from the back?” Slimmy suddenly paused and turned to Kong and Rofiat.
Both of them looked surprised at the question, paused too and stared at Slimmy without giving any reply.
“Those guys were not part of Tigers, they were outsiders who came to join the Tigers.” Slimmy continued with a loud voice. “And I suspect that some of our own boys were among.”
Kong and Rofiat remained quiet and stared at each other with awkward looks as if urging the other person to respond to the allegations.
“Some of those weapons too,” Slimmy started again, this time staring at Kong. “Some looked familiar.”
“Familiar?” Kong muttered, looking confused and surprised. “I didn’t notice that,” Kong said and continued walking forward. He now knew where Slimmy as rushing to at the back.
Rofiat followed Kong at the same pace, Slimmy followed too but at a slower pace, walking with his hands in his pockets.
Kong got to the room at the back where the weapons were kept. He dragged the large iron gate away noisily. Slimmy stood outside and folded his arms while Kong and Rough walked into the place. After some few minutes of searching around, Kong stepped back outside with a frustrated look on his face.
“Boss,” he said lifelessly.
“Yes?” Slimmy replied with a sneer, hoping that Kong had a contrary report to what he had on his mind.
“Some of our weapons are missing,” Kong let out the news.
Slimmy squinted and licked his lips, he gave a short laugh which sounded like he was sobbing.
“I knew it, I knew they couldn’t afford the money to get those weapons. Even the way they were using them shows that they were inexperienced and untrained.” Slimmy said aloud to himself, then he turned to Kong. “But how did those weapons leave here?”
“Boss,” Kong said in a pleading voice, he dropped to his knees. “I don’t know, I can’t tell but I’ve been suspecting that someone else has access to this place.”
“Someone else apart from Nazaretha?”
All the boys remaining in the mansion assembled to the front of the house as they heard the cars driving in, from every part of the house where they were.

“Boss,” Kong said in a pleading voice, he dropped to his knees. “I don’t know, I can’t tell but I’ve been suspecting that someone else has access to this place.”
“Someone else apart from Nazaretha?”
“Yes, I noticed on that day that you sent me an errand, that the place was opened and scattered but nothing was taken out of it that day. The only reason I didn’t speak out was because of what happened, I thought either you or Nazaretha could have wanted to pick up something in a hurry.” Kong explained.
“Hmm…” Slimmy chuckled, a dangerous one. He wondered which of his boys were playing with fire. It was possibly one of the leaders in training, they were the only ones who could have the boldness to access the place without Kong’s , Nazaretha’s or his consent.
“Boss, I’m thinking of something.”
“What’s that?” Slimmy asked, looking down to where Kong was kneeling. Rough had also gotten out and was standing beside Kong.
“Did we retrieve Gentle’s keys from his body or bags?” Kong asked a striking question.
Slimmy’s eyes widened as he pondered on the questions, without answering be turned and made his way into the mansion through the back door. Kong got to to his feet and followed him with Rough.
Slimmy kept walking fast until he got to Gentle’s room. He opened the door with his spare key and stepped in. At first he was motionless. The atmosphere in the room reminded him of his brother once again, he looked towards the hanger of clothes and saw Gentle’s jerseys which they were always fighting about. A tear rolled down his face but he quickly manned up and hurried to Gentle’s bed.
He searched around the mattress, drawers, Gentle’s clothes and even shoes but found no key. He paused to think. Could it be that Gentle had taken all the keys with him to Roy’s house? That would mean that the killers could have gotten the keys from there.
His phone rang and it distracted him. He took out the phone from his pocket and stared at the screen. Oj was the caller.
++++
“Slimmy!” Oj called with a fierce tone. “You see what you’ve started? Why did you have to run away?”
He paused to get a reply but got none. He was sure that Slimmy was listening, so he continued. “I told you that we should see and resolve this amicably but you refused. I had no reason to kill your brother. You should have let me settle things and fish out the offender, I could have even brought them out for you to melt out the judgement yourself but you destroyed everything, you went ahead to kill my men and declared war on us, you…” Oj was still speaking when the call was cut from the other end.
“Sh*it!” He cursed and hit his fists together. “Slimmy wants war and so it would continue.” He took another look around the area, looking at the dead bodies all around before stepping into the backseat of the car. Small was at the back of the wheels flung into action and drove away recklessly. Other cars followed behind. They never knew that they were going back to meet a big shock at the quarters.
+++++
Hadijat and Halimat were hiding under the bed in Rofiat’s room. Although, their loads had been arranged already and they were set to start journeying home but the loud gunshots and chants that could be heard all over the area caused them not to dare step out of the house. Even though, the gunshots sounded far away, they were wise enough not to step out then because they knew they could just meet with the fighters along the way.
After sometime, the gunshots seized. Halimat was the first to step out, still shaky. She glanced at the wall clock, it was 9am. It meant that the gun battle had lasted close to two hours. She hissed on hearing a familiar tone moving outside noisily. It was the police sirens. The cowards were just arriving two hours after the gun war began, when everything was cleared already.
Halimat picked up her phone from the stool where she kept it. She quickly dialed Rofiat’s number. It rang for the first time without being answered but was answered at the second trial.
“Hello Halimat, hope you guys have not left yet?” Rough’s voice came impatiently.
“Yes, we’re still in the house, hiding in your room.”
“Good, I’ll call you when it is safe to move otherwise don’t leave until I get there.”
“Okay,” Halimat said and the line went off immediately. She took in a deep breath and turned slowly. Her eyes met with Hadijat who had just stepped out from under the bed. Both of them stared at each other in silence, silently praying to God to save their lives and spare their lovers.
“Hmm…” Slimmy chuckled, a dangerous one. He wondered which of his boys were playing with fire. It was possibly one of the leaders in training, they were the only ones who could have the boldness to access the place without Kong’s , Nazaretha’s or his consent.

episode 49
Oj and the rest of the guys drove in their house and alighted one by one, the mercenaries that helped them in the gun battle had departed immediately Slimmy and his guys made away. They all noticed the awkward silence inside the house, they still walked inside with Oj right in front of them, they all halted as they saw Oj stopped. Oj had a bad feeling and decided to slow down his speed, just as he opened the main door he saw four of his boys lying down in pool of their own blood. Oj was still trying to comprehend what had just happene when his phone began to ring, he picked up immediately thinking it was Slimmy that was calling to mock him but the voice he heard shocked him more.
“Hello Small Oga, dem don kill Mama and Akinsola ooh”
“What” Oj screamed “Who, when”
“Oga na some people come with gun oh, them say na you first find their trouble, them kan Kill your Mama and your brother”
Oj fell down on his kneels immediately, he tried to scream but he couldn’t.

Kolawole was about to leave Malia’s place after they just had one of their numerous arguments but he was stopped in his track by his ringing phone.
“Hello” he said “I have been calling you guys since, why didn’t any of you pick up”
“Boss, we were busy with the tasks you gave us”
“So whats up, how did the tasks go”
“Easier than we expected boss”
“Both tasks” He asked.
“Yes boss”
“Okay good, just stick to the plan. I will be there as soon as I get the chance” Kolawole dropped the call and was about to step out when Malia obstructed him.
“Kolawole what have you done this time” Malia asked.
“Malia, stay out of this, it’s none of your Effing business” Kolawole screamed at Malia.
“Why have you suddenly turned into a beast, you are scheming people’s death, causing fights between people” Malia
“Maybe I have always been a beast, maybe you were a fool not to realise it” Kolawole replied.
“True, I was a fool to have fallen in love with you but tell me, why are you doing all of these evil acts”
“Because I want to own it all, I want to wipe out one Fraternity with the other and then I will take over the whole campus. I shall be god of this campus, I shall rule over everyone” He paused and his body vibrated ” Ohh Malia, just the mere thoughts of having it all is giving me goose bumps”
“You are an animal Kolawole” Malia screamed as Kolawole flung her out of his way and walked away. She cried for a while and then walked back to the bed to pick up her phone and dialled a number.
“Hello Roy” Malia said after the call was picked.
“Yea, who is this” Roy asked calmly.
“This is Malia”
“Malia?” Roy’s mind drifted back to the events that happened the previous day and remembered meeting Malia before everything went wrong “Ohh Malia, it’s you. But this is not your number and I don’t remember giving you my own number”
“Yeah this is my other line and yes you beeped my number when I gave you mine so I saved it up” Malia explained
“Ohh so what’s up” Roy asked.
“Where are you, we need to talk” Malia said.
“Am out of town right now”
“Yoy ran away”
“Excuse me, what do you mean by I ran away” Roy was surprised.
“Are you running away because of your friend’s death”
“And how the hell did you know that” Roy more surprised.
“Am sorry Roy, I was told to distract you so those guys can successfully carry out that operation but they didn’t tell me they were gonna kill anyone, they only said they wanted to steal something from your place” Malia.
“Woow” Roy was short for words “So why are you telling me all of this now”
“Because my conscience is disturbing me and am afraid the guy that lead the attack on your friend still wants to cause more havoc”
“The guy, you mean you know this particular guy”
“Yes I do”
“Who is he”
“His name is Kolawole”
“Kolawole?” Roy called out slowly.
“Yes that’s his real name but he is popularly known as Kong”
“Kong” Roy screamed.

“Guys please let me just quickly pick up something from my house before we go for our next target” Rofiat told the guys inside her car as she parked in front of her house while they all just nodded.
“Rough abeg no tey ooh, make the target go escape like that previous one” one of the guys in the car said.
“I dey come now now” Rofiat dropped from the car and walked towards the gate only to notice that the gate was widely opened. She slowed down and stayed alert as she realised something was not right and that there was danger looming. First she saw the gates padlock broken on the ground and then she saw a bullet casing, she then ran back to the car to call on the guys. They all armed there selves with gun and they all tiptoed in to the house. The main door was opened also, broken actually, fear gripped Rofiat as they ransacked the whole house but couldn’t find Hadijat or Halimat. She got back to the lounge and was dialling Slimmy’s number when one of the boys with her brought her attention to an handkerchief laying on the ground, she walked towards the handkerchief and picked it up.

“Hello boss”
“Yeah Rough whats up ” Slimmy replied.
“They have been kidnapped”
“Who”
“Hadijat and Halimat”
Slimmy took a deep breath before responding.
“Have you confirmed who took them”
“Yes, I just saw their handkerchief. It’s the White tigers”
_________
As soon as Rofiat dropped the call, Slimmy’s phone began ringing again but he cut the call after seeing the caller. Roy had been calling him for some time now but he had refused to pick, in as much as he tries to believe that Roy had no hand in Gentle’s death, he still didn’t want to lower his guard around him, he still doesn’t want to trust him blindly
****************
OJ’s shirt was soaked in tears, he couldn’t hold himself even though Small was beside him trying to pacify him. He was in his mother’s house, her dead body and his only brother’s own laid right in front of him.
They were all that he hustled for in life, he was struggling to give them a better life. After his father’s death, their mother had gone through a lot to bring up him and his brother as a single mother. She hawked cooked food during the day and sold roasted corn at their Street junction in the evening. His only younger brother was a bright boy of nineteen years old with a promising future, he had just gained admission into the University to study medicine and was preparing to resume the next semester.
He held his late mother and brother’s hand for the last time, still sobbing, his lips and teeth vibrating. He remembered the promise he made to his mother the last time they visited his father’s grave. He promised to do everything that their father failed to do due to the cold hands of death that snatched him away and his mother had hugged him and replied him saying that he should continue his education and per time job faithfully, praying for increased grace upon his life, she also warned him to desist from bad friends and gangs who could have an ill influence on him, oblivious of her son’s involvement in a cult already. Only Tade his brother was aware of his involvement in the cult but kept mute about the matter and even lied to cover up for his brother on several occasions.
Small finally succeeded in pulling Oj away from the corpses and allow for them to be moved away. Oj buried his face in his palms as he was led outside to the balcony.
His phone rang as they stepped down the stairs. He pulled it out of his pocket but Small took it from him and checked the screen to see the caller. Small let out a deep breath and stared at Oj’s face before answering the call.
‘Congrats Bruv, you succeeded in killing his family.’ Small said as he stepped away from Oj. ‘You killed his mother and his only brother.’
~~~~
Slimmy stood still in shock of what he heard over the phone. He remained in silence for a while, trying to process it in his brain. He took off his phone from his ear and checked the screen to confirm if he called the right number.
‘Let me talk to Oj,’ Slimmy finally spoke.
‘He can’t…’ He heard the voice begin aggressively but was disrupted by Oj’s voice underground. ‘Give me the phone.’ He heard Oj say and he could hear a little bit of dragging.
‘Nice one Slimmy, I saw your signatures all over my mother and brother’s faces. Thanks for killing them.’ Oj said from the other end. Slimmy could hear the pain and deep hurt from his voice.
‘No Oj,’ Slimmy tried to speak but the call was terminated.
He stared at his phone for a while and bit his lips in confusion. Hadijat and Halimat was missing, the White Tiger’s handkerchiefs were found there, Oj’s mother and only younger brother are also dead and the Arch Angels signatures were found on their corpses too. Somebody must definitely be playing a game with them.
He paced around the lounge for some minutes, thinking of what could be happening. The person or group playing the game must be very close to the Whiite Tigers and also to the Arch Angels.
He took out his phone again and dialed Rofiat’s number.
‘Boss,’ Rofiat answered the call in an aggrieved tone.
‘Rough,’ Slimmy called in stern voice. He smacked his lips and took in a deep breath before he continued. ‘Are you sure you saw the Tigers handkerchief there?’
‘Yes Boss.’
‘Check well, check the materials of the handkerchiefs. It’s not the White Tigers, something is definitely wrong somewhere.’
‘Okay, let us check.’
Slimmy took in another long deep breath after the call ended, he stared at his phone’s screen again, then he searched for Kong’s number. He was about to dial when a call came in, from Roy.
He answered the call and placed it on his ear remaining quiet.
‘Slimmy,’ he could hear Roy call but gave no response. ‘Slimmy, Slimmy.’ Roy called again but he still did not answer.
‘Slimmy, I know you’re listening.’ Roy continued, he seemed excited about what he wanted to discuss. ‘I know who killed Gentle now.’
Slimmy eyes widened and the tension in his heart increased as he heard Roy’s last words. ‘What did you say?’ He finally spoke.
‘Yes, I know who killed Gentle.’
‘Then spill it out and stop wasting my precious time.’
‘Kong killed Gentle.’
‘Kong?’ Slimmy heart skipped a beat. He wanted to argue but he remembered the missing weapons and also Kong’s absence on the day of Gentle’s death.
‘Yes, Kong.’
‘Are you sure of what you’re saying?’
‘Yes, I was called today by someone he sent to distract me on that day and she confessed everything to me.’
In shock, Slimmy slowly dropped the phone from his ear. His breaths became heavy and slow, his eyes were bloodshot and his forehead hot.
The phone rang again, he checked the screen. ‘Rough,’ he called.
‘Boss, I’ve confirmed. It’s the White Tigers handkerchief.’
‘Come over with all the men Rough, don’t attack anyone except you’re attacked first.’
‘Ehn?’
‘You heard me right,’ Slimmy said and cut the call. He thought for some seconds, if the Tigers handkerchiefs found were really authentic, then it meant that there was also a mole amongst the Tigers. He dialed Oj’s number.
~~~
Oj remained in silence, staring at the old houses on the streets as they rode back to the quarters in their car. His mind was full of thoughts and questions. Even though he was ready to kill thousands of people in vengeance, he couldn’t figure out how the Arch Angels who were outnumbered and had to retreat from their attack were able to come and attack his home. It could have only been a more organized group or maybe the Arch Angels had called on other mercenaries too.
The Arch Angels signature were well signed on the corpses, it could only have been signed by a trained member of the Arch Angels and that meant that at least one of the Angels top leaders was there to kill his brother and mother.
‘It must be them,’ he muttered under his breath. Right there, he made up his mind that he would do everything possible to wipe out the whole of the Angels without leaving any single person. The only reason he wasn’t ready to die yet for the cause was because he still had Halimat on his mind.
His phone rang and his thoughts were distracted. He checked the screen and answered.
‘Oj, someone close to us is playing a game with us. Hadijat and Halimat have been kidnapped this evening and your handkerchiefs were found there.’
episode 50
Oj, someone close to us is playing a game with us. Hadijat and Halimat have been kidnapped this evening and your handkerchiefs were found there.’
Oj paused as he heard what Slimmy just said and then cut the call again.
Slimmy paced around the room boiling in anger, only if he could lay his hands on Kong right now.
_______
Halimat and Hadijat were tied to chairs in an uncompleted building in the middle of nowhere, they had been there for a while now but they haven’t seen anyone or anything as they had blindfolds on and also the voices and footsteps they were hearing earlier on has further reduced.
“Halimat” Hadijat broke the silence after they haven’t spoken to each other for a while out of fear.
“Yes Hadijat” Halimat replied in whispers.
“Do you think we will leave this place alive” Hadijat asked.
“I am not sure but I will try all my best to make sure you leave this place alive, even if it means my death” Halimat whispered but in a determined tone.
“What ever happens here sis, always remember that I love you soo much, whichever of us that makes it out alive shouldn’t forget the Other one” Hadijat started crying.
“I love you too little sis, my life would be incomplete without you, am sure none of us will ever forget each other” Halimat started crying too.
They continued sobbing until they started hearing noises, the boys outside started hailing some one that just arrived, they started speaking on top of their voices.
“Olboi Kolawole na master planner ooh” one of them hailed Kong, the guy’s voice sounded so familiar to Halimat, she was sure she had heard that voice before.
“No be only me na, na me n you plan all these things na” Kong hailed the guy back Hadijat also knew she had heard that voice before but she couldn’t place whose voice it is.
Kong and the guy continued hailing each other for a while until they decided to go into the place where Halimat and Hadijat were. As soon as they entered, Halimat and Hadijat could feel their presence but they still had blindfolds on, there was an ear deafening silence in the room as fear paced around Hadijat and Halimat’s mind. After some minutes, they could feel someone trying to take out their blindfolds, they stayed still until the folds were taken away, it took a while before they could adjust there sights to seeing the people around, everything was blurry at first but after some seconds they could see clearly everyone around them.
“Kong” Hadijat screamed
“Hercules, you” Halimat screamed too.
“Hercules, you” Halimat screamed too.
____________
Rofiat alongside some other guys arrived into Mansion and met Slimmy still pacing around restlessly.
“Baba wetin happen” Rofiat asked with her eyes filled with tears she has refused to shed, her sisters kidnap coupled with Gentle’s death had gotten tears in her eyes but she kept telling herself that she won’t shed a single tear.
“Follow me Rough” Slimmy said after hailing the other guys and led Rofiat into his room.
“Rough we have been fooling ourselves all this while, someone has been using all of us as pawns in the game of chess” Slimmy said.
“Baba I don’t understand all these things you are saying, speak to me in plain english boss”
“Okay let me explain further” Slimmy said as he settled on the bed pointing for Rofiat to do the same.
“Better” Rofiat said and also sat down on the bed.
“It wasn’t the white tigers that killed my brother Gentle” Slimmy began and Rofiat jerked back to her feet, Slimmy continued without being interrupted “neither did they kidnap your sisters”
“Baba that’s unbelievable, we saw all the signs na, we don’t need an Einstein to know that they carried out all this hits” Rofiat argued.
“Okay hold on” Slimmy calm her down “If the white tigers didn’t want an open war, why then will they kill Gentle and leave signs there for us to see”
Rofiat still looking unconvinced but kept her mute.
“The five white tigers that were killed at the cafe, has any of our boys taken the credit for that hit” Slimmy continued asking questions that Rofiat had no answers to “Why would Oj want to hurt me by kidnapping my girlfriend and in the process kidnapping his own girlfriend too that we all know he loves”
Rofiat now looked puzzled and confused, everything began to make sense to her now, she started fixing the lines one after the other.
“Oj’s family has just been murdered and he believes we took the hit because he saw our signatures all over their corpse”
“So who’s playing us all” Rofiat asked.
“Rough we have moles here and their are moles in the tigers too”
“And they are both working together to achieve a common goal” Rofiat nodded her head as everything now seemed clearer to her “But how can we figure out who is doing all of this”
“Roy just called me and told me that he found out who led the hit against Gentle”
“Who boss”
“Kong” Oj replied and Rofiat staggered back and sat down on the bed out of reflex.
“Are you Okay Rough” Slimmy asked as he moved closer to her.
“Yeah, it’s just all too much to take in boss” Rofiat replied as she sat up on the bed “Let’s order a hit on Kong then.
“No not so fast, I am very sure he is not working alone, he has many of our boys working for him and also boys from white tigers”
What do we suggest we do then”
“We need to act the fool and fish them all out but we also need to alert Oj”
“Then call him boss”
“I already did but he wouldn’t listen to me, same way I didn’t listen to me when I thought he killed my brother”
“I think he would listen to me” Rofiat suggested and they both agreed to call Oj.
They called for about three times, there was no response but on the fourth try, Oj picked.
“Hello” Oj’s angry voice came through.
“Hello Oj baba, this is Rough” Rofiat said in a calm n low tone.
“Rough” Oj called out with an angry tone still.
“Baba I am sorry for your loss, may God grant you the fortitude to bear the loss” Oj just replied with a sigh and Rofiat continued “Buh I swear on my sisters, we didn’t take that hit”
“So who did” Oj asked sarcastically.
“We know who did but we need to meet before I could disclose that information” Rofiat replied.
“So you want to meet now” Oj
“Yeah, I will text you where and when but first I need to tell you that we have moles on our side and on your side too. We already know the main snitch on our side but we still don’t know who is the snitch on your side so you have to be discreet” Rofiat explained.
Oj dropped the call and chuckled “if Slimmy should mistakenly come along with Rough, I will butcher him into body bags” Oj said to himself.
