Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 16
The room became gloomy and dreary. Sewa was taken aback by the genuine look of concern in his eyes. It was there in each of them eyes.
She heaved a rueful sigh, âThere was a little girl that came to me. She said her sister was cornered by-..â
âWe know that already. The girl came forward and confessed awhile ago
. She did it out of fearâ, Goke interrupted. He stood relaxed watching his companions quietly but everyone would feel the anger radiating off him âThat is not we want to know. IâŠweâŠwe want to know why you rushed off like that without telling anyone. You could have died if Duro and Moni had arrived a moment later or one of the villagers didnât tell us on time that you were seen running into the forest with a little girl. You did the same thing the first time we came here, charging on your horse without informing us or working out a plan. Do you want to die so badly or are you just being childish? You are flesh and blood. You are not invincibleâ.
âThatâs okayâ, Duro shot in glaring angrily at Goke, âYouâve said enough. When sheâs ready to open up to us, she willâ.
Sewa patted his arm âIt is fine. You are right

. All of youâ, she said with eyes moving from one bandit to the next, âI should have informed you if I was going to charge into battle alone. Iâm used to doing things my way, even back when I was still in a gang, there were things only I could do and I did them with no assistance. Iâm used to dealing with things on my ownâ.
She struggled to sit up and directly in their eyes, âIâm sorryâ she said loudly. She turned to face Duro and Monifa âThank you for saving me. I would be six feet under if you hadnât arrived on timeâ. Duro held her hand and offered a wryly smile. Monifa nodded and caressed her back.
âAnd to answer your questionâ, she held holding Monifaâs gaze, âThe first time we arrived here. I mean before you all met me. I was already battling some of the soldiers. Well, I was almost killedâ. She said, looking at their sullen faces and continued âThere was a masked man standing on the hut. He fired an arrow at me and that arrow was less than an inch from my face. I nock my own arrow at him but I was interrupted before I could release it. By the time I turned my attention back to him, he was gone. Like he wasnât there in the first place and I couldnât find him afterwardsâ.
âYouâre just telling us now?â Monifa said disappointed.
âIâm sorry. I didnât want to burden you with my problem. I planned on fishing him out later and ending himâ, Sewa said sadly.
Goke heaved a sigh âNow, there is nothing like your problem.

. Your problem is our problem. My problem is your problem. We are a teamâ.
Sewa nodded and smiled. Her smile soon became inverted as she reminisced âSomething scares me though. I feel he missed on purpose. I donât know how but I was sensing a murderous aura around him. I think he was just toying with meâ.
âWe have an assassin on our tail, a sadistic one at that. Itâs possible he sent those mercenaries to simply see how you would reactâ, Duro said.
âThat means he must have been hiding in that forest, watching and waitingâ, Leke interjected.
âBy the gods, we should search that forest thoroughlyâ, Goku said.
Duro stared at him stupefied âAre you listening to yourself? That forest is largeâ.
âAnd I highly doubt that he is dumb enough to still remain thereâ Monifa said.
Sewa nodded her head in agreement âOne thing is sure, he will show himself again and this time we will be readyâ, Sewa said confidently.
Leke laughed and the other bandits smiled. Sewa stared around in confused, not understanding the reason behind their felicity.
âYou said âweââ, Duro explained with a grin.
âNow that all the secrets have been laid bare and all issues resolved. Can we finally leave this place and go to Aleshinloyeâ.
All heads turned to the direction of the voice to see Ajala the herbalist standing at the doorway and nodded simultaneously in approval. Sewa felt a hand squeeze over hers and looked to find Duro staring at her happily as he mouthed âIâm glad you are safeâ.
