The look on Chief’s face said it all. Despite being huge, she could surely bring him down with a few punches but that would invalidate her claim when the matter got to court.

“Who are those?” Chief George asked.

“Police”, Kike sneered.

“Is this part of the plan?” 

“So, you thought I will let you go after you killed my parents?” She scoffed. Her eyes darted for the door as she hoped Idowu will make his way through.

“I didn’t kill your parents . Your mother killed your father”.

That statement sparked an unacceptable emotion within her. “You liar! You killed them and stole their business documents… All their documents and then you took me in. You took our house and maltreated me. You even raped me. Have you forgotten the night you raped me when I was just 16 years?”

“It was a mistake. I was drunk And I have begged you”.

“But you still killed my parents”, Kike yelled at him. The fury in her glowered for a while that if she hadn’t learnt restraint, she would have flung herself around his neck to tear off his eyes.

At that same time, Mrs George and Ireti shouted from the passage and Chief poked his head out of the room.

“What’s the noise about?” Mrs George asked the moment she entered. She glanced from Chief to the ferocious look Kike had.

“Daddy, something is happening in this area

. Siren!!!” Ireti shouted.

“Kike has killed me”, Chief shouted in fear. “She called the police. You, ungrateful bastard. This is why I killed your father. He was foolish. You’re just like him. And we will all go down for this together”.

“Ah! Daddy!” Ireti cried.

Chief George spun towards her with a shot of anger in her eyes. “Shut up! And bar the door. She’s not leaving this place. If she leaves, all of us will end up in prison”.

Kike wailed this time and she felt the anger in her bone. She couldn’t hold back the tears that sprouted from her eyes. “You killed my parents. Ireti, your parents killed my parents”.

Mrs George came to the rescue of her husband. “Shut. Your. Nasty. Mouth. Your father duped us. He was making more profit from the business we introduced him to. He should pay for it.

“We killed them”, Chief George said, bemused. “But nobody knows. I thought you are now our family. You’ve changed for ten years or so now”.

Kike clapped repeatedly. “I know. You killed my family”.

Chief George looked about and smacked his head. “The police are coming”.

Kike’s mind now wrestled between killing these people herself or allowing herself to remain the victim. Anger surged through every pulse of her body. She looked from one person to another and knew her ability for a future survival remained with her being composed.

Mrs George rushed to the passage and returned. “Let’s end her life. Like we did her parents’”

That shocked Kike to the bone.

“No”, Chief George disagreed. “Police couldn’t prove the death of her parents. They will prove this one. We will let her suffer. Tie her”.

“Good one”, Mrs George shouted and smacked her hands. “We will let her die of hunger. If we come back, we can dispose of her, whether she’s dead or not”.

Kike looked from one person to another. Their plan seemed good because she had people coming for her. Moreover, she had all the training needed to untie herself if they eventually tied her.

Ireti screamed. “Ah! Daddy! That’s wickedness”.

Kike hissed. “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Poison though it might be”.

“Keep quiet”, Ireti yelled. “I hate all these. That’s why I wanted to get my share of this money and escape”.

Kike spun, smacked her own head with regrets on why she was born into the family and pointed at Ireti. Words refused to form in her mouth because of the anger that clouded her mind. “Your daughter wanted to fake her kidnap but it backfired. I wanted to tell you but she promised to send an assassin to me if I didn’t help”.

"I didn’t promise to kill her. I just wanted the money”, Ireti pleaded with her parents.

Mrs George shook her hands “Quit the talk. The police might find us here and save her”.

“Let’s catch her”, Chief George cried.

Mrs George and Chief George rushed toward her and tried to hold her down. She loved the way they came out at her in the view of the phone. So, as not to show complacency, she fought back in the simplest of way. She tackled them and struggled a little.

“If she goes, we are all going to jail… She knows all those computer things”, Chief George shouted.

Mrs George screamed. “Ireti, hold…her”.

Ireti joined the struggle and they eventually overpowered her. They tucked her under their arms and Chief George had his bulky hands around her neck, making her groan from the discomfort. He yelled as he held her down. The police siren became louder.

. They dragged her to the nearest chair and tied her with one of the ropes to the chairs available in the room. She kicked the air and wished she didn’t have to pretend but they were under the coverage of her phone’s recording and she had to keep up the pretence. 

They have tied her in such a way that even a baby would unknot immediately but she held her cool. That way, she would have enough evidence against them.

She yelled with all her strength, “my ghost will haunt you”.

Ireti stared at her sadly. “Kiki, I’m sorry”.

She turned to her parents. “But we have to gag her”.

Mrs George removed the small flowery head-tie she wore to bed and pointed it at Ireti. “Take this!”

They gagged her despite her yells. Now, she never saw this coming. It hit her with the waves of surprise that she couldn’t even resist her. Idowu wouldn’t know her present location with her being gagged. Ireti looked at her for a while, untied the rope and made a type of knot Kike had never trained with. It might just be sheer luck that she did it but Kike was sure she had no way of untying it.
