Two High-profile Hits

Marina, Lagos Island

John Oyeleke pulled to a halt by the curb. He glanced casually at the building under construction. He took in a deep breath then exhaled slowly. He was here for the hunt. He got out a bluetooth device and stucked it to his ear. Then he got out of the BMW and walked to the trunk. He got out a duffel bag, slammed shut the trunk and walked briskly to the buiding. He made his way in and hurried up the stairs to one of the open spaces that fitted his purpose. He got to work quickly occasionally glancing at his watch. He did a few push-ups to prep himself, but also to kill time while he waited for his target, and the call.

About five minutes later, he knew his target was within the area. He looked out and saw the governor's motorcade stopping. Then he got the call. The man at the other end- the man he had never met- gave him the go ahead. Oyeleke found the governor through his target scope, aimed for an head shot and went for it. The governor's head blew open like a squashed watermelon. Oyeleke got his stuffs and hurried away. He had a flight out of the country to catch. It was all part of the plan.

Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos Mainland

Billionaire businessman, Ayo Gbadamosi laughed heartily as he herded his family out of the Silverbird Cinemas at the busy Ikeja City Mall. Something his petite, ex-model wife said got him laughing. Gbadamosi was glad to be away from his office and its stress, to be with his delightsome family. So many people noticed the Gbadamosis. They were not particuarly difficult to spot. They oozed money. Amongst those who noticed them- who in fact was watching them- was Amadi Dike, ex-Niger Delta militant now turned contract killer.

Dike watched them for awhile as they moved about enjoying the company of family, getting all sorts- whatever catches their fancy. Dike wanted to do him now. He was eager for it. He felt Gbadamosi was one of the things that was wrong with the country- filthy businessman! As far he was concerned no one in Nigeria made his or her money clean. There was always an element of corruption. He should know, he was from the Niger Delta.

When he had been offered this job by the unknown man, Dike was more than happy to do it. And now the only thing stopping him was the call from his employer. Timing was everything, his employer had said. It was part of the plan whatever that was. He didn't know what the paln was, he wasn't the mastermind here. It made him feel like a pawn in a chess game, but what could he do? Just then the call came in- about the same time the governor was being executed. He got the go ahead. He walked quickly to where Gbadamosi was, with his family. He wasn't bothered about the crowd at the mall, nor was he worried he'll get caught. He knew he'll be out of the country in an hour after this kill. He stepped ever closer. He got out his colt .45 with a silencer attached, put the muzzle to Gbadamosi back and queezed out two shots. He walked away quickly even as Gbadamosi fell forward, very dead and as dead as dead can be.

The Man Whom Gravity Forgot

Image
Image source: playbuzz.com Michael felt himself lift off the bed. At first he felt panic but slowly allowed himself to relax. He rose all the way to the ceiling and just hung there, in mid air! This wasn't the first time this would be happening. Michael had always had a problem planting his feet firmly on the earth. He remembered vividly an incident that occurred when he was a little- about nine or ten. At the time he had been running to school, excited when he had suddenly felt himself levitate off the ground. He had been so frightened afterwards. When he had mentioned it to his mother, she had simply dismissed the idea, laughing. Afterward, he had not had the courage to mention it again to anyone else. The levitation didn't stop. It came now and then. As a teenager, he came up with different weird theories to explain what was happening with him- maybe he was an alien, maybe he was a science experiment, maybe he was a new kind of human specie, maybe he was the next s...

The Chronicles of an Elite Soldier

Image
image credit: ab7772.deviantart.com It was a dark, dark night. The rain drizzled endlessly. The wind was a raging storm that humbled trees in its fury. Amidst the rain and the wind, a lightning and gliding on the wings of the lightning, a vehicle, an otherworldly vehicle so huge it couldn't be missed, with lights blinking like a million giant stars on its sides. Then there were noises, noises of men, women and children crying, shouting, running about; the honks and crashes of man-made vehicles. People on the streets, on their knees, praying for mercy, for salvation, for a messiah to come. The otherworldly vehicle landed, crushing buildings and infrastructures, accompanied by an earthquake, an earthquake that had never been experienced in the city. Beings of another world, of another existence , came out with weapons that were both deadly and scary looking. They wore helmets, the beings, they did. They were about seven feet in height, agile and athletic and very, very fast....

Till Death do us Apart, Or not!

Image
Image Credit: marriage.com For better, for worse; for richer, for poorer. Those were the words they exchanged on the altar. To stay together till death do them apart, but two years down the line they were already apart and death had nothing to do with it. Whatever happened to the love they professed! The first night had been wide, yes. The following weeks had been great, yes. But six months in, they both started to show their true colors; one was an alcoholic and got abusive when he drank, the other was a constant nagger and got bitter faster than lightning could strike. Their match was not made in Heaven. Far from it, it seemed to have been hatched in Hell. Everything seemed so clusterfuck. Sex became less frequent between the two, and when it did came, it lack the passion it used to have; one man humping vigorously while the woman laid down thinking about that dress she saw on Jumia, totally divorced from the moment. It was little wonder they both look for passion outside, an...

The death of del Castro

Image
The way I heard it, Pierro del Costa was the baddest and meanest gangster in Sicily. He had made his money running weapons to the local Mafias, crime lords and just about every one of the underworld folks you could think of. del Costa was a bad man. Many said he'll die the way he lived; by the gun, but no one knew when, or in what shape death would come. del Costa was untouchable though. Rumor had it, he'd got just about every cop, politician and power-brokers in Sicily in his pocket. Aside from his booming weapons bussiness, Pierro del Costa dealt in drugs, getting his supply from Colombia. The night del Costa died, he had been with a woman; a red-head with a tight ass and perky boobs. He's guides had watch her with interest as she was escorted to his private room. Now, Pierro del Costa was a serial womaniser and a closet alcoholic. The night he died he had been riding the red-head hard, feeling like his head was going to explode. The guides head her scream all the ...

Deadly Confrotation

image source: the13thfloor.tv He pointed his gun at the gloom. He felt himself shudder as he sidestepped the bodies strewn on the floor. He could hear the report of automatic weapons and the screams of cops being mawed to death. A particular scream never quite made it; it began and then was cut off abruptly. He let out a sigh wondering why he was heading that way. He flashed his flashlight and approach as carefully as he could. He knew the creature was right there in the gloom. It loves the night that much he figured. He didn't know what the creature looked like. Well, if I knew that I'll be dead won't I? Nobody's made it back. He approached carefully, trying not to make any sound, which was useless considering he was pointing a light that way anyway. Why was he heading there? He should turn back now and run, run for his life. Get out of there, come on, go, go, go! But he couldn't. He had a job to do; he had sworn an oath to protect the innocent. Yeah? Ho...

Chasing a Lead

image source: abc7.com They both got out of the car at the same time, slamming shut their doors. Larry Stein was the first to get into the bar. He turned his head to face his partner, Susan Wright. "You got us into a yuppie bar". He commented. "I disagree. Not a yuppie bar". She retorted. "Are you kidding? Look at the crowd", he fired back, "definitely yuppie". Susan Wright sighed. The bar was classy. It had some really great vibe about it. There were several men and women- singles mostly- clustered in it; working men and women mostly in their twenties. "Let's just do our jobs". "Isn't that why we are here, Susie?" "Christ, Stein! I told you not to call me that. Jesus!" "Let's not bicker about it. I hate being around yuppies". They made their way to the barkeep who looked them over. Larry Stein showed his ID. "I'm detective Larry Stein. This is my partner, Susan...
