Chris glanced back fearfully at the two girls sleeping at the back of his car; he prayed silently that whatever the guy helped him put on the handkerchief will only make them sleep longer not dead

He cleaned his sweaty hands on his shirt before holding the steering again; he shakes his head furiously telling himself he did the right thing
“He is a doctor not a killer; I am a doctor not a killer” he repeated again to calm his heart rate

He peered at his side mirrors expecting to see cars chasing him but none; he relaxed a bit as he neared the police check point; he has to appear normal or else they will suspect him

Fortunately for him, his white coat was hanging on the left side therefore covering one of the girls from their view and his stethoscope hanging freely in the front

He slowed down as he reached their point but the standing police who was obviously tired from the day’s work just waved at him to go

He thanked his stars inwardly for escaping that
“Why will Kammy want to kill these girls, they did nothing to him” he wondered

“The same girls you separated from the warmth of being sisters” his mind pricked him

“And that is what I am doing now, saving them” he argued back

He couldn’t get himself to be in terms with Kammy when he told him about his plans and even involved him in it

“It takes something to happen before you realize something” that was what continued running through his mind

He never envisioned his friend to be that bad; he wept inward for not listening to the wife when she was alive, she wouldn’t have been dead by now

“Oh fuck” he shouted as a car hit his bumper from behind

“The guys are here, they are here; what will he do” he trembled and glanced back at the still sleeping girls

“you hurt them and you need to save them; stop being a mother fucker” his mind jabbed him again

He sighed, sometime he wished he is as strong as his mind; he is only that strong hearted when operating on a patient

He slowed down and stopped, “he should just hand over the girls over to them and maybe alert the police later”

The car following him behind stopped and two hefty men carrying gun jumped down from it, the third one helping the limping Kammy

Sweat drizzled down Chris face cus of the murderous look on Kammy’s face; the road where they targeted him was lonely, his shoulders fell as he awaits them coming closer, they will soon finish him off

The two guys cocked their guns ready to fire at the slightest instruction from Kammy

“I am going to die like a chicken” he cried

“only of you want to die”

“Wait, what” he asked his troubled mind

“They are down and you are holding the steering; drive the damm car out of here”

“Holy sh*t” he shouts as he held the steering and zoomed off with the highest speed

“F*ck” Kammy shouted, he never imagined Chris to act like that in the situation, he has always been the simple doctor friend

“Don’t shoot” he commanded his guys who wanted to condemn his tires

“He has nowhere to go except his house and that is where we are going”

“Enter the car” he commanded and the guys hurried immediately into the car waiting for him to enter and they zoomed off.

Chris seeing no car racing behind him became confident and increased his speed at a junction where the road were divided, he took the one leading to his house but stopped halfway

“Kammy will definitely know that he is there, but where on earth will he go”

“Oh God, I am doomed; I should have thought of an escape plan” he said hitting his heat drenched face

His face brightened up when he remembered the underground in his house; the contractor hoped for him to use it and hide his numerous girlfriends whenever his mother is around and thankful enough he has never told Kammy about it

He is going to use it now; he geared his engine to life and speeds off

Kammy smiled as he sighted Chris car driving towards his house “this is so gonna be sweet; slow down guys, we gaht this”

The driver reluctantly obeyed his command, his heart is as dark and ugly as his face; his operation name is Mercy but opposite is the case.

He slowed down and increased the volume of the music; he brought out cigarette and shared to them “man gaht to ease himself” he said and they laughed but Kammy only grimed, he couldn’t believe in his wide world that Chris could stand against him. 

****** Chris blared his horn severally as he grew impatient “where the hell is his security man; maybe he might be playing that stupid loud music”

He cursed inwardly as he saw the man stagger holding his trouser with his hands and opened the gate

“You are so fired after this and open this gate to no one” he thundered and drove in

“Oga I just say make I take one shot before I sheet” the drunken security man stutter as he close the gate

Chris gave him a murderous look, he has no time for this; he beckoned on him to help him take the girls out but seeing his useless state decides to do the task himself.

He lifted one of the girls on his shoulder and winced at the weight, she sure weigh more than she looks. He hurriedly carried her inside and came back for the other one.

“Don’t open the gate no matter what or who” he repeated his order again to the security man who simply nodded

He entered inside and locked his door, he rushed to his room and searched his drawers for the underground key, luckily for him he found it on the third drawer; rushed down and opened it, dragged the sleeping girls down there and sat down watching them

He rubbed his sweaty forehead with his back hand and removed his shirt; he felt stuffed up in his house

His hands hovered on the dial key to call the police, “they will just mess everything up” he thought and dropped his phone

Hoping for the girls to wake up soon, he need to ask them about the light episode at the convenience; with one last at them he stretched his body on the bed to rest; he needs it to think of his next line of action

****** Mercy slowed down as they reached the massive gate; “wait let me show my face” Kammy says and popped his head out from the window

“Hey man open the gate; I need to see my man”

The security man peeped at the hole and smiled

“My Oga say make I no open the gate for anyone” he slurred sleepily

Kammy bit his lips and brought put wads of note and flashed it to his face, “this will be yours if you open the gate”

He shone his brown teeth on seeing the money, dropped his whisky and opened the gate immediately

Mercy geared the car into life and drove in; the security man stretched his hand to collect the money but Kammy retraced the money and grinned.

“Kill him” he ordered and the guys nearest to him shot the drunken security man without thinking twice, next he targeted the four tires incase Chris planned his escape

**** Chris jerked up immediately on hearing the gun shot “Oh God save me” he shouted as he scrolls through his phone with a shaky hand thinking of who to call

**************
Sweet Jesus, the battle just began
Who will be our savior?
