Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 17

JACK

The clock ? is ticking and I’ve been trying my best to be patient… Julia’s life is in danger and I wanted to make sure nothing happens to her…

Gina and her weird boyfriend had already made plans with Julia’s uncle to let the police handle everything… I had doubts… My reason was because… You can never count on the Nigerian police, they always seem to f-ck up or disappoint…

While I waited, I thought about the good time I had with Julia last night and earlier this afternoon… God! It was sure good to have her around my arms again… I’ve managed to get her back and I won’t make the same mistake of losing her again… In that moment, my mind went back to that backstabbing rat b-stard, Marcus.. God! If I get my hands on him… I’ll turn him inside out.

Gina noticed how disturbed I was and assured me everything was going to be okay.

.

Gina ➡ Hmm, Jack.. Don’t worry.. Julia will be safe… At least there’s no assassin.. Marcus doesn’t know he’s working into a trap.

.

Jack ➡ Yeah.. But why can’t we be there?

.

Gina ➡ Ah ah… Why are you so worried about her?… Days ago, you two were eyeing each other like enemies and if I remember clearly you two hate each other!?

.

Jack ➡ Yeah but that was before… We’ve settled our issues.

.

Gina ➡ Ehn… So you guys are back together.. So all it took to merge you back together was a little misfortune.. Good for you.

.

Jack ➡ Yeah.. Is Julia’s uncle here in Abuja?

.

Gina ➡ No… He’s in Lagos… But he’s made some contacts to handle the matter.

.

While Gina and I were talking, Her crazy Bf came behind her and started kissing her neck.

.

Jack ➡ Seriously?? Was this really necessary?.

.

Gina ➡ Romeo… Stop Jesus… Can’t you behave yourself?

.

Romeo ➡ Hmm, sorry sugar.. There’s nothing in loving my lady… Hmm., you smell so nice.

.

Jack ➡ I’ll be going out.. You two can do whatever you want..

.

I left Gina and her boyfriend and went outside.. The sun was going down and time was running out… I wanted to wait and let the police handle everything but i can’t count on them..

So while Gina and her boyfriend were busy.. I headed straight to the bridge… I had no money for transport but luckily for me the bridge wasn’t that far… For about 30 minutes, I trekked and I trekked and soon I finally reached my destination, but instead of following the main road, I decided to linger around side walks… As soon as I got there, I got a call from Marcus, but I refused to answer.. I looked around but there was no sign of him.. Then suddenly, I heard the shattering sound of glass just a few meters from where i was and shortly after that, the sound of painful moans emerged.

I ran to where the sounds were coming from… As I got closer, the moans and sounds got louder and louder.. As soon as I reached there, I was surprised to see Marcus and Julia struggling on the road.. The b-stard was top of her trying to grab her neck while Julia did her best to avoid his grasp, amidst the struggle, Julia grabbed his hand and gave him a bite of his life… Marcus screamed out loud feeling the pain,… Seeing an opening, I rushed at him and drove a big right leg on his face, Marcus rolled off Julia and took to his heels as he saw me.. I wanted to chase the b-stard but I couldn’t leave Julia alone.

.

Jack ➡ Julia!

.

Julia ➡ My God! Jack.. You’re here? Thank goodness..

.

Jack ➡ Are you alright??

.

Julia ➡ Yes.. I am now.. I thought you were gone?

.

Jack ➡ No.. I’m still around.

.

Julia ➡ Marcus.. He’s the one that sent those assassins after us..

.

Jack ➡ Yes I know..

.

Julia ➡ You do?

.

Jack ➡ Yeah…. Looks there’s no time.. Let’s get you somewhere safe.

.

Before Julia and I could get off the road, A car flashed its light at us charging straight towards us with high speed, I quickly pushed Julia out of the way and grabbed a huge stone laying on the side of the road, threw it straight at the car, I was lucky to dodge in the nick of time but the side of the car grazed me,… After the stone had smashed his windshield, Marcus couldn’t see and he lost control of his car, he veered off the road and crashed straight into the iron bar of the bridge.

After the smoke had cleared, Marcus came out of his car and collapsed on the ground, Shortly after that Dozens of police vans bombarded the place.
