"You know this city like the back of your hand, do something," she said to herself. Sky increased her speed and continued driving forward. She took a left turn immediately, leaving the express lane. There's a small town nearby...she just have to go through rough roads. The city is very crowded and rough.
Sky made her way through the rough roads, she was bouncing up and down on her sit but she kept on driving. She looked at her rear mirror and saw them behind her but not too close....after driving for ten minutes, she reached the town.
It was only one lane, she reached for her bag as she drove straight to the centre of the town...because of traffic, two cars separated her from the Jeeps.
They were hawkers everywhere and beggars in the busy road, drivers insulted themselves as they tried to make it to their destination. There were shops just along the road and a fueling station by the right.
" Perfect." Sky said as she brought out the new notes from her bag. Luckily she had Chiamanda withdraw 500# notes in bundles about 200,000.
Sky let down her glass and threw one bundle outside ..up in the air, she went to the passenger's side and open the bundle and threw the money up in the air.
The whole place scattered, people from the shops, public transport drivers, taxi drivers, passengers, passerby's, hawkers, beggars and even fuel attendants rushed to pick money, blocking the road.
Sky took a right turn into the street close to the fuel station and drove as fast as she could and took another turn.
She let out a sigh of relief, she lost them...taking another turn, she drove fast. A young boy ran into the road with his hood n, Sky almost hit him, swerved and stopped the car immediately and screamed, "watch where you are going lad, I almost ran you over." She came down from the car to check if the boy was ok. The young boy looked up, removed his hood and was about to rain causes on the driver when he saw it was Mena.
"Fuck sist, what are you doing driving like a crazy maniac in a street??" Mavis said.
Surprised, Sky said..."Mavis what are you doing here, I thought you said you stopped visiting this place and why are you dressed in a hood in this hot weather, are you doing something bad? are you smoking?"
Before he could say anything, his sister clapped her hands together as if she just remembered something...."Get into the car." she screamed as she ran to the car.
"Sist are you ok? you don't look to good, why are you here?"
*I'll tell you when we get home just drive as fast as you can... take me to my place."
Mavis handed his sister the bottle water he was holding and said, "just drink this, you look pale."
Mavis was a crazy driver like Anton, he drove his sister home, wondering what happened, she had money in the car, scattered on the floor and the content of her bag was on the floor. Plus the car, whose car was she driving? He decided to let her rest and wait till they get home.
"Why not go to our place sist, mom is home. Is something wrong with the baby?" He asked
"Just take me home Mavis, I'm fine. You haven't told me what you were doing in that town you have a lot to answer to Mavis."
The moment she got home, she called Bones and Stone over and told them what happened, Bones left the house in a hurry, promising to find out who is behind the whole thing.
Sky was lying in the couch, with a wet napkin on her head. Stone has refused to leave saying it wasn't safe for her to be alone.
"Stone you should leave, this estate is safe. not just anyone can come in plus there's CCTV in this house and my brother is here.. don't worry I will be fine."
Stone didn't say a word as he stared at his boss as if she hasn't said anything.
Mavis came into the living room with soup. "Sist you need to eat, you look pale."
"I'm not hungry little bro. I was just caught off guard, I wasn't expecting this to happen. At least not now...my position isn't known yet plus I haven't offended anyone lately except Mr Basil but I doubt if he can do this, I've cut all his wings ...he's powerless."
"Sist I don't undestand why someone will try to harm... you, you said they shot at you...you would have been killed...let's go to the police."
"Don't worry dear, Bones and Stone are military men, and we have other security. I don't want anyone to know about this... especially mom, so keep your mouth shut. I'm sure Bones is gathering intel as we speak now."
Sky phone rang from somewhere, "where's my phone?" she asked, sitting up.
"Here." Mavis said as he handed her the phone. "It was under the chair, it must have fallen from your bag."
It is Anton, Sky sighed.... putting on a fake smile, it is a video call. She answered the call and said...."hey bestie, how are you?"
"Sky, take the camera away from you a bit, Anton said, from the other end of the phone are you hurt? I told you to go with bodyguards wherever you go but you refused. What if something bad had happened to you...I spoke to Bones, he has their plate number number now from the CCTV.
"Anton, I'm ok. i was able to pull a fast one, yeah I'm allright. Stone is here and so is Mavis. Yes I will, don't worry. Bye."
"There's someone at the door." Stone said. Sky stood up and went to check who was at the door.
" Hello ma'am, I brought you dinner if that's Ok."
Sky stared at Dwayne, "are you here on Anton's order?" she asked him.
"No ma'am I came here on my own."
"Ok come in." she said. Mavis stood protectively beside his sist, blocking Dwayne from entering.
"Who's he sist? he is too beautiful for a man, be wary of men like him."
Sky bust into laughter. "Yes I know bro....he's the baby's father."
"😱.....What!" Mavis said.
