Episode 3
The matchet brandished in the sunlight rays that sipped into the church through the atmosphere.
He grapped a gun and looked set for war.
” We will kill them later. Or let the war catch up with them” He barked instead. ” I’ll kill these NRRF rats here once and for all . Even Allah himself cannot stop my victory”
One of his men looked at him in disbelief.
He gave him a reply stare, then his eyes glanced at the gold before he returned it to the soldier. He said to him
” Nobody” He shouted ” Nobody can stop our victory today . Cheer up men. Nobody can . May Allah be praised”
His men chanted in unison.How pathetic it felt to watch these mindless bigots follow such a leader. I picked their stupidity to be etched deep into their brainwashed heads. I smiled to the idea, retreating to where I was before , I squatted down in pains.
My eyes got fixed at the sanctuary door behind General Abdul. I thought to myself ” This just got started. But I can’t join these moslem fools and sit here to get into the trap of the NRRF. ” To me , we where all sitting ducks. I darted my eyes from sides to sides , racking my head for an escape root.
***************************************
MEANWHILE, Outside the entrance of the church, beyond the Villa gates, the Muslim Destruction Army and what was left of the NRRF battled out their guts.Bullets flew up and down. Lazer slugged pins flew left and right.The MUDA strong hold of the Capitol was becoming shortlived and weakening .
The die- hard General of the NRRF was in no position to relinquish his last chance at capturing back the Capitol and the Nation. General Fast as he was nicknamed was swift with his left hand. He could pluck down an enemy in milliseconds without warning .
” Move your asses out and take down these moslem barbarians” General Fast ordered his boys ” We have women and children inside the caves and inside the Villa, will you allow them suffer any longer?
” No ! Chorused the air.
” Then pick up your lazy asses and stop fighting like my grandma even before the 90’s.”
” Charge!!!!!!”
” Commander ” he called out into his walike talkie from his amoured vehicle.
The commamder ‘s delaflota ( a jeep powered by air and heat energy) retreated and met the General’s company at the middle of the formation.
The General told the commander that they must recapture the capitol. It was a do or die affair.
” I’m doing this for the people ” He said as he ducked a stray lazer bullet. Then he continued” And for my brother .The president . They struck me a blow. I will tear down every resistance they put up.The almigty God will see us through.Fear not!!”
The agent who had called for back up earlier had reached out to the General in the neak of time.
” Yes sir!” The commander in his forties said and raced upfront the battle line. They were winining.
It was obvious . The victory was phyric as it came. A lot of their men were falling too.
****************************************
Inside the Church…
The MuDA forces were prepared to die for their faiths. They seemed very calm.I don’t blame them. What do you expect from them?
From under the chair I sat, I slipped out a pistol. I had put it there earlier when I entered the building. Again, if you really want to continue living in this cruel world of mine, you have to always prepare for the worst and hope against hope for even the worst. Be wise and you’ll never be taken by surprise.

It was about time. But I couldn’t do it alone. Take out 24 soldiers? I needed help. A man squatted next to me. His eyes had been on me for a while.it was long now and it got irritating . I actually didnt blink his way.
Then he threw the question ?
” Are you NRRF? The man asked.
” No ” I cocked the gun silently and switched into the silent-fire mode.
” Then , dont do it alone ”
I stared blankly into his eyes ” Why? Care to help?”
” No” The clean shaved man said.He scratched his jerrycurled hair and adjusted his eye goggles.
He continued” But I know someone who can” he paused then said ” By the way am James and this is Cara Gun-smoke”
I raised an eye brow ” Gun smoke?
A fair lady smiled briefly next to him… She said ” I guess everyone has an alias these days. But truthfully thats the name”
” Wow! ” I exclaimed.
” So where is the person who can-”
I thought there was still someone else to help. Even at this, I still couldn’t understand why James wore a cap inside the church. Well he had his reasons.
