“Now that we have killed him, what is the next step? Fire asked
“You are asking what is the next step, have you forgotten what Mrs Victoria told us? She said that after killing him that we should take his phone and throw his body in the Canal“ Thunder replied
“Oya na, anyone wey we dey do make we do am sharp sharp before people go see us“ Skido said.
They took Raphael’s phone immediately, and carried his lifeless body, put it inside the boot of their car and drove off. After driving for about 1hr, they saw a Canal and decided to throw his body in the Canal water, after they threw Raphael’s body in the water, Thunder called Victoria.
“Madam, we have done the job“ Thunder said over the phone
“I hope you people did the job very well because I don’t want mistakes? Victoria asked over the phone
Yes ma’am, we did a perfect job, we have killed the idiot and threw his body inside the water as you instructed“ Thunder replied
“That’s good, he want to reap where he did not sow, I hope you collected the phone because that phone is very important to me? She asked still on the phone
“Yes ma’am, we are with the phone“ Thunder replied
“Alright you guys should leave there Immediately before someone will see you, and also bring the phone to me at tasty food eatery, hope you know there? Victoria asked again
“Yes ma’am, I know there, we are coming right away“ Thunder said and dropped the call.
After the call, he and his gang members left the place, but unknown to them, a mechanic who was urinating by the road side saw everything. When they left, the mechanic went inside the water and brought out Raphael’s body and took it home to know if he’s still alive. He called a harbalist who would attend to Raphael, the harbalist tried all he could, first he removed the bullet from Raphael’s chest and did all he could to revive him but Raphael was not moving or showing any sign that he’s alive.
“Who is this person, I don’t think he’s still alive” The harbalist said
“Please try again, something tells me that he’s still alive, I saw him in the Canal water where they threw him and I decided to bring him home because I strongly believe that he’s still alive“ The mechanic said while the harbalist shook his head
“I’m sorry. I have tried all I could but to no avail, I don’t think he’s still alive, the best advice i will give to you is to return the body back from where you get it, because if it still remains here and people find out, they will think you are the one that killed him and you will be jailed for it“ The harbalist advised
“No I can’t return his body, I have the believe that he’s still alive, please you have to try more“ The mechanic pleaded
“Hmmm, if you insisted that I should try more, I will try, but if before 10pm he didn’t show any sign that he’s alive, I will leave here“ The harbalist said
“No problem, and also I will return his body back to the Canal where I saw it“ The mechanic agreed
“But human beings can be so wicked, look at the way they wasted the life of this young man, let’s hope he’s still alive“ The harbalist said
“I hope so too, and the worst part is that I didn’t see the faces of those people that dumped his body in the water because they were all putting on mask. Anyway I pray that this young man is still alive“ The mechanic elucidated

“No I can’t believe the news I’m hearing, Raphael can not die just like that“ Bella cried
“But that is the truth, he’s dead, Raphael is dead ooo, it was announced not too long, awww!!! Raphael, who could have killed that poor boy” Victoria said with tears pretending not to know
“Raphael was very nice, and he doesn’t look for trouble, who could be this heartless person that killed him? Andrew asked no one in particular and also at the same time he was sad.
“The person that killed him is really a heartless person, but how come his body is missing and only his car was found, does it mean they killed him and took his body, why will they do that? Felix said sadly
“I wonder how his poor father will feel if he find out about the death of his only child Raphael, I really pity that man. Hmmm!!! I don’t really understand what is going on, first, it was dad and his body is still in the mortuary and now is Raphael, and his body is no where to be found“ Andrew commented and shook his head
“You people should take it easy on yourselves, Raphael is gone and there is nothing we can do to bring him back to life“ Charles said.
Hearing that statement from Charles made Bella to cry the more, to the extent she fall on the ground rolling herself. When Victoria saw this, she was very surprised
“Bella, I don’t understand you, is it because of the death of Raphael that you want to kill yourself? Victoria asked surprisedly
“Mom! you will not understand, I love Raphael, I love him so mu……….
”Will you shut up that your mouth, so you want to tell me now that the both of you were in a relationship under my roof? Victoria interrupted her statement angrily
“Yes Mom, we have been dating and we are both in love with each other“ She cried
“Hmmm, Charles! Felix! you people should warn your sister because if I hear one more word from her, I will beat the living hell out from her, this girl is provoking me a lot in this house“ Victoria spoke in anger
“Please mom calm down, this is not time for all this, we are mourning“ Andrew said
“What do you mean I should calm down? Infact I’m not mourning for that boy anymore, he doesn’t deserve my mourning, so he has the guts to be having affair with my daughter under my roof, and you Bella you are not ashamed of yourself, all your mates are falling in love with senator’s son, governor’s son or even the president’s son and here you are telling me that you love a boy who doesn’t have a future, a village boy for that matter. Anyways he’s dead and dead for good and there’s nothing you can do to bring him back, if I had known that the both of you were dating I wouldn’t have waste my tears on him in the first place“ Victoria said furiously
“Mom! That’s too harsh, why do you hate Raphael so much? Even now he’s dead you still hate him, that is not fair“ Felix said
“Shut up your mouth and go to your room if you are tired of mourning for him“ Victoria shouted at Felix

****Back to the mechanic’s house*****
.
It was already 10pm, and the harbalist has done everything humanly possible to know if Raphael could respond to treatment, he tried everything he could but Raphael wasn’t responding. Finally the harbalist told the mechanic that Raphael is no longer alive, and he can’t continue treating a corpse. The mechanic took Raphael’s body to return it back to the Canal water where he took it, on getting there he dumped the body in the water and turned to leave.
