The Red Moon

Episode 26

Before the young man replied, the police telephone line rang. Mr Nelson picked up immediately. There were other policemen who were around especially the computer operators.

“Hello, Dad” Michael sounded on the phone.
“Kira, you had my men killed” Mr Nelson spoke up instantly.
“That’s what happens when game is being played. People die, a winner becomes victorious and laughs at last”
“He who laughs at last, cries at last too, and you gonna do your own crying in hell”
“We gonna see about that. Let the game begin again” the line went off.
Mr Nelson dropped the call thinking critically how Kira killed his men without knowing their names or seeing their faces. He deviated to the fact that the person doing all the killings was his own son. Thinking about that, he fell down.
“Sir!” the policemen around especially Mendel rushed him to the hospital where he was confirmed paralyzed due to high blood pressure. That set Dera in another emotional depressed when heard it because she had not even gotten over with the death of her twin sister. If actually one can cry out blood, she would have cried out a drum of blood.

On the other hand, at Kuma, Michael rested in a room in his grandfather’s house. Nobody lived there except him. His grandparents died a long time ago, so nobody occupied the house.
In the room, one could see a television, his special computer, bed and other things that made up a beautiful room. Shakiti never departed from his back.

“Michael” he called but didn’t get a response. Though continued. “I am beginning to think nobody can get you or the book coz it seems you’re too clever”
Michael stood up from his chair. “Over my dead body will anybody get me or the death note” he said taking a banana from its bunch.

Shakiti laughed. “I know they will be wondering how you killed those policemen ”
“They will never know if I don’t tell them” he sat back to the chair remembering what made it possible for him to kill them even with their faces covered. He could remember how he sneaked into the father’s room before he deserted the city.

Inside the room, he hacked into the father’s desk top, then took the picture and names of all the policemen working under him.

Darkness began to take over the sky, before then, Lucky’s name had gone viral as the one who once worked with Kira. Though nobody knew he dated Vera before her death except Dera and Michael. He was also depressed and sad like Dera.
Gentle breeze rouse from the west as Lucky walked down to their house. He had been with Dera in the hospital. Just as he wanted to enter into their compound, a female voice came from behind. He turned trying to get a correct view of the person coz it was getting darker by every minute.
“Who’s that?” he shouted moving towards the person until he got her correct view. It was Debby who admired his handsomeness looking at him all round.
“My name is Deborah known as Debby” she replied taking a step forward.
“How may I help you?” Lucky wasn’t smiling.

“I guess you’re the guy that worked with Kira”
“As you can see, I’m not in a good mood. I’ve lost my girlfriend and.. ”
“You what?” Debby interrupted while Ashanti listened from behind. “You don’t need to worry coz the dead can rise again” she added staring at him seductively.

“And what do you mean by that?” Lucky became enthusiastic. At his very eyes, Debby brought out the life note, positioned it in a way he read the caption.

He couldn’t believe his eyes! The note they had hopped and searched for was actually before his very own eyes! He tried to grab it from her but she withdrew her hand swiftly.
“Where did you get that?” he quired.
“Where must I have gotten it?” she returned the question while Ashanti shook her head negatively knowing that she answered a question with a question. “It doesn’t matter where I got the book. What matters now is how you gonna get it coz I know that you need it to save your girlfriend” she added.

“Yes, I really need it” Lucky begged.
“You gonna get it but in one condition”
“I gonna do anything you ask of me”
Debby smiled. “First, you gonna agree to be my boyfriend. Secondly and most importantly, get me the death note and the life note will be yours” she smiled touching his shirt romantically….
