Episode 39
Nightfall slowly approached, drawing more fear into my heart as darkness gradually filled up everywhere. We all sat on the bare floor, so tired, hungry and hopeless. We werenât given even a cup of water all through that fateful day.
âi think the end has come. They failed bringing even a cup of water for meâ Chief Manuel said to himself, while i caressed Jeniferâs hand with tension.
But before darkness could totally cover up the whole room, our prison door opened, revealing the man behind everything to us. His name was Chuk Noris.
We all gasped with shock on seeing him. He no other person but a member of our community, though not related to any of us but well known.. He was a very popular rascal who terrorized our community some years back when i was still a student, but was among the group of men who left the country with Tony to hustle abroad. Unfortunately things didnât go well for him over there and nobody heard from him again till that very moment we saw him walk into the room.
We never for a moment suspected he was back in the country, moreover he failed to show up at his fatherâs burial late last year. His father was my late dadâs friend and died after struggling to manage diabetics which ate up one of his legs. He died after unsuccessfully struggling to raise money for surgery. It really was a painful and long story.
Chief Manuel was the first to jump up with fear on seeing him. The look on his face clearly showed that they had some unresolved issues, likewise Tony who froze with fear on seeing him. But what i couldnât figure out was my business with him that warranted kidnapping Jenifer. We werenât age mates, nor friends, neither did we do any business together.
âchuck Norris, whatâs the meaning of this?â Chief Manuel asked with fear.
ârelax, we have enough time. You will all hear your sins. My sojourn in Europe taught me a lot. It taught me never to fail getting back on anyone that hurt me. This is a revenge mission. Relaxâ he smiled coldly and licked his lipsâŠâŠ.
Chuck really had a bad heart, there wasnât any doubt he was going to kill us but i just couldnât wait to ask what i did to him nor allow him to hurt Jenifer without a fight.
