Must Read: Wasted Years: The Ordeal Of A Pastor

‘look under that……………………’ I heard jones directing his partner before a loud sound broke the calmness of the night,I became frozen thinking that I have been hit by a stray bullet before I heard a loud groaning which was followed by jones urging his friend to endure till they leave.

‘Thank your star that we never met you here’ I heard Charles’s voice which made me to heave a huge sign of relief, I crawled out of the hole to met Edwin who has already bend to look for me

‘my guy, congratulation jare, those fool would have wasted you like that’ He said as he drag me up

‘mike the champion, nice one, you’re getting tougher, it shows’ Ejiro said from the car as we approached it, we entered the car and we all went to Ejiro’s house,some other guys are already in the place and it was apparent that they were aware of what happen as they all hailed me as I passed, I entered the bathroom where I had a hot bath before I went for a bottle of whisky in the mini bar, I sat down with others in the sitting and Ejiro asked me if I know the person that he know they are Richard’s boys

‘ it was jones and one guy I don’t know his name but could recognized him if I saw him’ I replied him in a faint voice

‘alright no problem, Charles and osagie are going to work with you, you must bring those murderer to this place before next Saturday ‘ Ejiro said authoritatively

‘baba, we are up to the task, they are already here as you speak, or no be so’
Osagie asked Charles who nodded in affirmative

‘ guy go and sleep, you have been stressed’Ejiro said ‘or one of those girls should come with you’ he teased and all of us burst into laugh while I went in without answering him

I lied on the bed with a lot of thought going through my mind,’what if I had been killed, will I not break the trust of my parent ?, how will they feel ?, what should I do now ?, should I leave anything in connection with cultism?, I keep

Asking myself ‘but its too late, cos it will not discourage Richard from hunting me and who knows, Ejiro might not take it lightly with me’ I concluded.

‘God please, if I could scape this hurdle, I promise to serve you forever’ I keep repeating the words till the ringing of my phone jolted me back to life, I checked the time wondering who could have called at 11:30pm

‘Hello Micheal’ I was alarmed to hear the voice of my Dad

‘hello sir’ I try to sound healthy ,as if there is nothing wrong with me

‘what is happening to you, am just having strange feeling about you these days coupled with scary dreams, what is really happening’

‘dad, there is no problem, am fine’ I replied

‘remember I am your father, whatever is happening to you, you don’t have to be tongue-tied to me, but since you said there is no problem, Good night, may God be with you’

‘Amen, thank you sir, good night’ I said but he has already hanged up

I dropped the phone and tried to get some sleep, but my wandering heart keep recalling all what has happened to me in the last three hours, I wondered what would have happened if the gunshot had hit me,I was indeed lucky,I slept with a resolution to make sure that Richard meet his end in my hand
