Heated - Episode 8

 

EZEKIEL'S POV
Damn castle! Damn her to the core. I didn't even get the chance to extend my gratitude properly to the general at least for the position he gave me. I grit my teeth in anger.  Gosh! suddenly my brain crank back to the earlier moment in the restroom. Was it a setback or serendipity.
#Flashback 
As I run into the restroom so I can do my thing and leave, I hear a female voice. Wait, it’s normal to hear a female voice but in a male’s restroom then it’s not normal I remember that voice but where? Click!!! It’s castle's voice.
 “Damn where is that idiot and why is he keeping me waiting?” she says as she kept walking to and from . Whom might she be waiting for? I tried not to make some noise as I pulled up my zipper and gently walk towards the door to keep then suddenly the entrance door flies open and close just immediately.
“Are you mad Boaz?” Wait a minute Boaz? Both of them are into this together?
“What kept you long?” she asks huskily.
“I am sorry. I had to make sure I wasn’t followed.” He replies her.
“So fucking what if you were being followed, huh? Will they still suspect you when you enter into the restroom?”
“I am really sorry. Didn’t think about that.” Boaz says.
“When are they leaving?” castle asks

. They means who?
“I just sighted them heading towards the General. You know he doesn’t talk much. I think they will be leaving in less than ten minutes.” Boaz answers. Wait! Are they monitoring us or what?
“Look plans has changed. You know we are still in the military base without freedom yet. I had to lie with the excuse of being called by Rena for I was permitted to leave the base. So I don't really want to be seen around and my time is elapsing. My plan is we break out those prisoners from prison then we send them to Nigeria with hidden identities. How about that?” she asks and I gasp.
“I think it’s not that bad. Fred, Ned, Justin and Julius might also want to revenge the person who kept them behind bars. It’s like killing two birds with one stone because after using them, we will turn them in and our fame will be surfaced.” Boaz says as they smile widely.
“Okay Boaz. I like the sound of that. Trust me I am smelling victory already. Who laughs last definitely laughs best. Well I came to see things myself, else I would have told you everything on phone but I don’t trust anyone for now except you. Secondly to also see her face this last time cos maybe when next we see, it will be her funeral with me smiling next to her corpse while dropping thorns on her grave.” I hear her chuckle before telling Boaz,
“I guess I will leave first. Make sure you don’t get caught with anything. For now, we will let our little miss enjoy the glories from everywhere while we plan breaking those guys from prison and fly them to Nigeria. She won’t know what hit her and I’ll make sure she’s caught unawares. You’ll hear from me soon Boaz. Bye for now.” She put on her shades and adjust herself before leaving while Boaz searches everywhere with his eyes before evacuating. I have to wait for few minutes before I leave. God! This news is unbelievable! #flashback ends#
Our dear Rena don’t deserve this kind of treatment because she’s been nothing but nice and welcoming. I admit she can be bossy as hell but that’s what a soldier is all about. Everything must not always be a comedy stage. Though she's a pain in the ass sometimes, she's still the best friend anyone could possibly ask for. Why is castle so bitter and bent on destroying her? Should I inform Rena or wait until they strike first? I wet my lips and swallow hard, rake my fingers through my hair. Gosh! I am so confused right now. I narrow my eyes only to see faces staring at me in a questioning manner; if I had gone mad or otherwise.
“What?!” I half yell at Alfred and Mason who are presently feeling my skin.
“It’s fever. He’s hot.” Mason says shaking his head in worried but fake manner.
“The fever had better subside cos we are at the airport so get yourself outta my car Eze.” Rena commands me and I oblige. I watch as she gave the driver some dollars and I smile. Always benevolent.
“One bundle for you and the other for Allen. Make sure you all maintain yourselves and the house.”
“Yes Ma’am. We will definitely miss you.” The driver says. Of course, no one won’t get to be her friend and miss her at her absence. The four of us hold onto our luggage climb into the jet. She’s so Happy. Gosh! I don’t want to spoil this happy moment. I don't want her to start worrying over nothing. I mean Castle can’t break four guys out of prison. U.S prison for the record. Of course not! How foolish I was. They can’t do nothing. I laugh at the thought of the fear I once felt. How stupid of me. I look at the rest only to see their faces intently on mine. Did I laugh out so loud?
“Are you okay? Cos it’s 12 hours before we get to Nigeria. It will be too late to take you to an asylum. I am beginning to get scared. I have heard stories of people getting mad once they reached the airport hope your case won’t be like that? I don’t want to be held responsible for any madness issues. Please be okay for us.” She says eyeing me while the others burst into laughter.
“Nigerian village witches at work.” Alfred blurts out.
“I tell you.” Mason seconds. They continue laughing while Rena nods on. She hardly bursts into laughter no matter how funny the joke sounds. She only nods and smiles, so strict and I love her for it….
