Dr. Uche was in the surgery when Mark entered the hospital and rushed to his office.

He met a nurse who told him to wait for Dr. Uche in his office.

Most of the nurses knew him and never question him anytime he came to see the doctor.

Mark went inside the office and sat down for a long wait.

After some minutes he went to the fridge in search of a drink.

He had forgotten to drink in his house when he needed it.

Mark was disappointed to found only bottled water and cans of cold milk.

He grabbed one of the cans and opened it viciously.

He downed the content in anger and almost vomited it.

"Not even a single whiskey!"

Screamed Mark in utter dissipation.

He sat down and began to think about the blackmail operations.

He had lost 30 million naira in the last 8 hours! Just a night of pleasure with Ndidi and everything he had laboured for came crashing right on top of his head.

He regretted the day he met her in his hotel.

The thought of losing more money to these con men made him to banged his fists on Dr. Uche's table and scratched his head like a mad man.

The door opened and Dr . Uche walked in.

"Uche you got to help me!"

Yelled Mark

. He grabbed Dr. Uche by the collar and shook him.

"Take it easy bro, what is wrong?"

Mark bit his lower lip and sat down heavily on the chair.

He fought back the tears clustering around his eyes.

Dr. Uche stared at Mark, he suddenly looked ten years older.

He knew Mark well enough and noticed he needed a drink now.

What a wreck of a human being! Dr. Uche thought.

"Uche, I am in a mess. A big mess."

Mark said in a voice he hardly recognized as his own.

"Relax bro, we can handle it together. Besides, you are rich. You can always rely on your father in-law if you run short of cash. There is nothing money can't do"

Dr. Uche said with assurance.

"This not a case of being rich.This is bigger than what you think" 

Said Mark.

Dr. Uche went to the cupboard and provided a bottle of cognac.

At the sight of the whiskey; Mark rushed to Dr. Uche, grabbed the drink and began to drink like a thirsty camel.

Dr. Uche watched him with remorse.

Mark signed with relief and sat down again.

The whiskey had helped steady his jittery nerves.

He took another long pull from the bottle and stared at Dr. Uche in a drunken haze.

"You are destroying yourself Mark. You have to stop drinking. Its not good for your system"

advised Dr. Uche and Mark giggled at him.

"Have you been blackmailed before?"

He asked Dr. Uche.

"No. And It won't happen to me"

"Well, Its happening to me!"

"I don't understand. Why would anyone want to blackmail you?"

Dr. Uche asked. Mark took another pull at the whiskey and hiccups.

Dr. Uche quickly snatched the bottle away from him.

"I will not watch you destroy yourself right in my office"

said Uche.

"I am better of dead bro, I have gotten myself into a real mess I don't know how to walk out of. A group of guys are blackmailing me. They have swindled 30 million naira from me today alone"

Mark replied.

"30 million?! How? Why? Tell me what happened"

Dr. Uche said and sat down. Mark began to narrate everything to his best friend.

He even told him how he had made love to Ndidi the first day he met her and how he gave her 100,000 naira.

Dr. Uche was speechless.

He could not believe a man can be reduced to nothing in a matter of hours.

He had watched Mark a couple of times playing the smart guy on T.V series. Looking at him now, he is a replica of an old man dying of alcoholism and old age.

"Uche, I am sunk. I don't know what to do. Please help me"

Mark begged him and Dr. Uche sighed.

"You will notify the police. That is the only way to stop the boys and get the Hard drive containing the blackmail documentary."

Dr. Uche said.

"No Uche, these guys are smart. I am thinking of blowing that complex into pieces once I am sure they are all inside there.

Read " Unholy Condemnation " by the same author ( Best Stevenho )

. That is the safest way."

Said Mark.

"Don't even think about it bro, its murder, you will kill innocent people and before you knew it policemen will be on your trail and you will be in a bigger mess.

You have to notify the police.

They knew how to tackle such issue"

suggested Dr. Uche.

"Are you sure this thing will work? I just want them captured and killed if possible."

"The police commissioner is my friend. I will talk to him."

Said Dr. Uche.

"You don't have to. He is equally my friend and won't hesitate to help. I am just shy of telling him this."

Mark lamented and Wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"You have to do more than that. Its better to tell the policemen than to risk being seen by the entire world"

Mark turned this over in his mind and decided to give it a try.

He can't afford to loose more money.

"Can we go and see him now?"

Mark said.

"I don't think so, Its already dusk. Leave it tomorrow morning. Just go home, take your bath and rest. You look like hell."

Uche said and put back the whiskey bottle.

Mark eyed him with contempt but decided to go home.

He can have all the drink he wants once he is safely home.

He stood up and asked Dr. Uche to escort him to his car...
