Ultimate Sacrifice - Episode 44

 

Chapter 44

Kim

He laid in the trunk his mouth sealed and hands tied behind his back. A brown sisal sack bag was securely fixed on his head making him unable to breath fresh air.  It was around noon judging from the strength of the sun upon his skin when was he forcedly moved from his cage to the trunk of the car.

He knew everyone was looking for him. He was scared they would never find him . That would be such a tragedy for him. He did not want to die alone. He just wanted to be with his family. He kept going over memories of her mum. For some weird reason they kept popping up. Then there was Becka who only yesterday he had said goodbye to hoping to see him the following day. Nobody had control of even a second of their lives. It could twist in such a manner as it chose to.

Soon they hit the tarmac and the car he was in sped up.

His heart beat also sped up.

Prisoner x

Her body had not experienced sun for a period of two years. Her  capture had been more humane at first allowing her to bask at 9.00 o’clock the sun rays that went in through the cabin’s kitchen but that stopped after a week. Her body felt the difference in temperature

. It almost felt like it was burning but for some reason she felt live again. Her capture placed her on the back seat of her car. Her mouth was duct-taped and a sisal bag was securely placed on her head. That morning her captor had allowed her to take a bath, telling her she should be excited for she had a surprised waiting. She was not enthusiastic about anything that psycho said. She only had to wait and see.

Her body was comfortably sprung across the backseat. At some point the rough bumpy road stopped and they transited into a tarmac road.

The driver increased the car speed, her heart rate also increased.

Stone park.

As the car sped towards where they stood, It felt like time had stopped still. Everyone looked at the car that Maribel drove. Some shielding their eyes from the afternoon heat. The car came to a halt some meters away from where the detective stood.

The frozen motion continued.

Both doors of the front seat opened and 2 pairs of legs clad in heavy black leather boots touched the soil. They both wore military uniform and on top added bullet proof vest. One removed her sunglasses and Becka’s face emerged.

The resemblance was uncanny.

Everybody marveled.

“Well surprise. For those who don’t know me my name is Becka, a.k.a Cindy. Welcome to my party”

“We did what you asked , we are all here.” The detective said.

“Detective its bad manners not to exchange pleasantries. Would you allow me greet my father? It’s been a while.”

Everyone turned and saw Mr. Sewe approaching. He looked like he had seen better days. They had all heard of how he was dumped at the altar. He was such a pitiful sight to behold.

“Come on don’t be afraid, I just want to hug my daddy.” Maribel said dangerously aiming his pistol.

Mr. Sewe walked over and gave Maribel a hug before going back to his side.

“What now Cindy? Or should I say Maribel?”

“Whatever works for you partner, I believe our relationship is based on trust, which you have violated under thirty minutes.” Maribel said.

“I am an officer that upholds the law, you did not expect me to show up without back up.”  Paul said.

“Oh I know, but they are being taken care of right now, don’t you all worry your little heads it’s going to be over soon.”

She turned and signaled his partner to bring her captives. He first opened the trunk and removed one person from it then opened the back seat door and the person was instructed to get out of the car. Everyone stared, hearts beating with expectation and fear. They quickly recognized Kim from the shirt he was wearing.

Maribel ripped of the duct-tape from his mouth and he started screaming leaving Maribel and her partner roaring with laughter. They removed the sack from his head and true enough, it was Kim.

“Go on.” Maribel spoke to him. “Go be with your family now.”

Everyone held his breath. Taking unsure steps Kim walked towards the direction of his dad and Giovanni. Innocent little Giovanni broke free from his dad and ran to his brother. Everyone tensed but relaxed when they saw Maribel calmly watching.

“Do you want to surrender now or should I gun you down myself.” Paul asked.

“That would be a stupid thing to do given I have my most priced merchandise here.” She said pointing at the other prisoner.

“Who is she?”

After being given the go ahead her partner removed the duct-tape then the sack.

“Look, its mummy.” Giovanni shouted.

“Clarissa!” Mr.

. Karugu called.

“Mum?” Kim questioned.

“Francis, my babies.”

“See my sister kidnapped her but I brought a back from the dead. Leaves me wondering, who did you guys bury in the cemetery?”

Shock was written on each person’s face. For Maribel these was priceless.

“Go on, go be with your family.” Maribel told Mrs. Karugu.

Clarissa made towards her husband. Her body so week and frail. But the happiness of finally being united with the family was profound.

She was the distraction.

Out of nowhere tiny gas bombs were thrown to the unsuspecting group. Everyone went down either unconscious or trying to just feel less suffocated. The detective saw four leather boots dragging Cassie out of the car. Then he saw Maribel now wearing a gas mask aiming a gun at Cassie’s head.

Then two bullets were fired and Cassie lifeless body dropped beside him.

“It was an exchange detective not a charity give away. Take him!” her voice ordered.

It took a while but eventually the detective had his count on everyone Including Cassie’s body. Everyone except for Ian was accounted for.
