Must Read: Wasted Years: The Ordeal Of A Pastor

A month after I’ve bagged up,bagging up means joining a frat,we are already through with our exam and just waiting for result.Stil I don’t know why I was still afraid of richard cos am still avoiding him despite words from my guys to face him that I was’nt the jew man he used to know,but one thing was sure,richard was the one that pushed me into cultism against my wish and that of my parent,I was going to make him pay for it,even though I don’t know how,but he will pay for it.
I woke up on Tuesday morning and told my guys that I am going to my former hostel to pack my remaining load,Charles volunteered to go with me and Edwin told me that he will give me something when am going,Junior brought out bottle of Macdowell and cups,I have improve my drinking prowess than before,Edwin served us round and we settled down drinking,As we were drinking,we heard a knock on the door
‘Who is that’Charles shouted
‘It is I am that I am’A husky voice said from outside
‘Ha,baba come in, the door is not locked’I was wondering who the hell is baba when The capon entered with some guys numbering about five.They all stood and shake him,I also joined them
‘Guys,I see that you dey enjoy’He said
‘Na so’Edwin said
‘ Mike boy,why you dey gentle,you no talk or you dey fear,I beg no fear anybody,The guys dey for you’He said as he collected the drink from Charles,
I smiled and replied him that Nothing is wrong and that am not afraid of anybody.
‘Nice one,incase you don’t know,Im Ejiro’He introduced himself
‘The one and only’Charles input and they all laughed.Ejiro and his guy finally left after spending about one hour,I checked the time and it was already 11:00,I rushed to the bathroom,took my bath and put on a designer dress with a dark shade.Edwin opened a bag and brought out a pistol which he gave to me
‘It is not necessary you bring it out except if he gives you problem’He said as he handled it to me.
‘No problem,you can bank on me’I replied before I tucked it in my dress.
‘let go’Charles said and off we went
Few days after my initiation,I’ve been taught how to use a gun as you may be wondering how am going to use it.
Independence hall’I read as I saw the signpost.I muster all courage to save my feet from getting cold cos going to Richard is like a dog going to the lion den especially as I saw his men sitting in the veranda.They all stood up immediately they saw me
‘See that stupid boy that capon dey talk about’one of them said as he point at me.A voice asked me to let him have a taste of the new mike but another decided against since I did not come for war.I ignored him and went inside.I entered to meet a full room exactly the scene I met the the first time I came
‘Mike,do you know you have just walk into a lion’s den’Richard said with his bloodshot eye glaring at me as he sighted me
‘Hey guy,we are not here for war,so lay off’Charles said unbothered as he sat on an empty bunk.
‘So why are you here’Richard asked as he came closer
I kept mute for some minute before answering in order to infuriate him’As you can see,am here to pack my remaining properties that are here’
I rushed the packing and within ten minutes,am through and call out to charles who is calm as he keep changing the music he’s listening to
‘O boy,let’s go’
He stood up and carry one of the bags,as we move near the door,Richard came to me and said
‘Mike,what about our discussion’
‘He’s now sailing with my crew,so forget about any useless discussion’Charles replied
‘But,he has booked his trip with my ship’Richard thundered as he locked my cloth
‘Free me guy,am not into any business with you ’I said and barged out of the room
‘watch your back when you walk’i heard him shouted
‘Alright,no problem,the battle line is drawn’Charles replied

INDEED THE BATTLE LINE HAS BEEN DRAWN
