The new development bewildered me; Tiffany’s
appearance was driving me nuts. “How are you alive?”
I stammered while facing the girl I thought had died in
my arms.
Tiffany stood silent, she didn’t respond to me, and she
was even avoiding eye contact with me.
“Answer me!” I screamed at her.
“It was all an act.” She said plainly without looking my
way.
“Is he manipulating you too? Is he blackmailing you
into doing this?”
“Err Tiffany’s case is a bit different, you see we are in
this together, Right from day one.” Ken said.
“Ken we nee-d to hurry up, this place is compromised.”
Tiffany said.
“Well that’s a welcome development, pretty lady you
must be acquainted with Charles, you see we nee-d
him to do something for us pretty desperately.” Ken
said to Victory while c@r£ss!ngher face with his gun.
Victory was visibly nauseated by the corpse around her
and it was taking a traumatic toll on her.
Ken went behind her and griped her ti-ght on the n£¢k,
aiming his gun on her temple he said. “You don’t want
the blood of this lovely lady on your hands Charles do
you?”
“Let her go.” I pleaded with Ken.
“Not until you let all those money go.” He replied.
“It’s the money you want right? How am I sure that
you won’t kill her after I transfer the money?”
“You can have my word on that one, let’s say this is
your death request, now who am I to deny you that? I
promise to let her go once the transfer starts counting
in percent.” He said.
Knowing that I put Victory into this it was my duty to
set her free at whatever cost. I sat down and started
carrying out the transaction. Tiffany stood near me to
make sure I was doing the right thing, her pres£nce
irritated me.
When I was done and the transaction started counting
on percent I told Ken to let Victory go, he said he was
sorry that Victory knows their identity and he couldn’t
risk getting expo-sed. Victory hastily moved the
computer from my arms reach and pointed her gun
fiercely at me. Then it hit me ha-rd , the thought that I
had failed at everything.
“Ken, plea-se don’t do this, remember you gave me
your word.” I pleaded with Ken. “Ken you are not that
kind of person, if our friendsh!pmeans anything to you
plea-se let her go.”
“What friendsh!p? We bec@m£ enemies the moment I
made my first kill for this plan to go throu-gh. So don’t
mention friendsh!phere.”
I looked at the monitor and the transaction was alre-
ady at 15% I kept on pleading with Ken, I was almost
crying.
“Ken plea-se you have to let her go, I will make sure
she doesn’t out you I swear.”
“How are you going to make that happen? You will be
dead anyway.”
Victory was alre-ady shedding tears; I could hear her
muffled cry as she was stamping her feet on the floor. I
felt de-eply sorry for the girl, I had put her into this
situation, and there was nothing else I could do other
than plead for her life.
“Victory” I called out to her, she looked at me with
teary eyes and face. “You are going to be ok.” I said
and she nodded a reply.
I checked the transaction counter and it re-ad 25%, it
was unusual that instead of a time factor, someone’s
life was hanging on a percentage factor and at that
moment I couldn’t be more grateful to slow network.
It turned out pleading with Ken was proving futile, I
turned to the person I hated the most in the world
Tiffany.
“Tiffany plea-se do this for me.” I said. She looked
away. “Just let her go, if not for anything, for what we
felt for each other when we made love.” And that was
the selling point.
“What? You sle-pt with him?” Ken said
“I did it to make everything more believable.” Tiffany
said with clarity but we all knew it was a lie.
“That wasn’t in the script you w—e!” Ken retorted.
Tiffany gaped. “You are a d–k Ken, so that’s what I get
for going out of my way to make your $h!tty plan
work.”
“You call slee-ping with another guy going out of your
way? How dare you try to justify infidelity? And you
call my plan $h!tty but look at the results.” Ken said and
motioned to the computer. I glanced at the computer
and saw the counter at 78%.
“Did you think Charles would agree to do this
transaction if I hadn’t brou-ght the girl in? I am not
justifying infidelity, I didn’t cheat on anyone.”
“Of course you cheated on me! We were d@t!ng.”
“We were not d@t!ngKen, we met and had S-x, you
mentioned your plan to me and I bought it. There is
nothing going on, it’s just business.”
Ken left Victory and walked towards Tiffany aiming his
gun at her. “Well then I don’t nee-d you in my plan
anymore.”
“So do I.” Tiffany said and then I heard a cl!çk!ng sound.
Someone was pu-lling their trigger but the gun wasn’t
firing. When I looked I realized it was Tiffany.
Ken chuckled. “You can never trust bit-ches; I suspected
something like this would happen that’s why I gave
you an empty gun.” Ken said without noticing that
Victory was aiming a gun nervously at his back.
“Drop your guns” She said. On hearing that Ken swung
around to fire at her, but he was too late as Victory
reflexively sh0t three bullets into his che-st. Ken fell on
his back laboring for breath.
Victory nervously dropped the gun she was holding,
immediately Tiffany dashed for Ken’s gun and I went
after her kicking the pistol from her hand when she
gr@bb£d it. She swung around and dashed a b!ow to
my left cheek, I countered her second b!ow, held her
hand and pinned her to the floor. I quic-kly looked at
the monitor and the counter re-ad 97%. I screamed
urging Victory to cancel the transaction. Victory hurried
for the computer; midway there the counter re-ad 98%.
Tiffany was still struggling un-der me. When Victory
finally reached the computer she saw that the mouse
had been disconnected, and the counter re-ad 99%.
Just when I thought all hope was lost, Victory pu-ll-ed
the modem from the computer. After loading for a few
seconds the monitor displa-yed ‘connection not found.’
And I took the de-epest breath in my life.
I still held Tiffany down on the floor, she kept on
struggling.
We heard the sound of sirens approaching then it
st©pped right in front of the house. Victory went to the
window to check it out. “It’s the police” she said. I
looked at her quizzically. “Don’t worry I contacted them
before coming here.” She as-sured me.
A slightly built man dressed in police uniform walked in
followed by two other policemen. One was tall the
other short but they both looked skinny. The three cops
gaped at the scene before them like it was a horror
movie.
“A matter of life and death and this is when you decide
to show up?” Victory was saying to the first cop.
“I wasn’t even going to come” the cop replied Victory.
“By the way who killed all these people?” He said,
referring to the dead bodies around.
“He did” Victory said pointing at Ken “and he was going
to kill more before I st©pped him”
“So you killed him” The second cop asked.
“In self-defense yeah” Victory said. She looked calmer
now.
“So what’s that one doing on t©p that one?” The first
cop asked, pointing to me on t©p of victory.
I quic-kly stood up. “She is his accomplice.” I said.
“I see.” The cop replied then he gaped, his two p@rtners
gaped too.
“Isn’t that the bleep and run guy? ;D ” the third guy
said. “That’s him.” The other two cops replied uniformly.
“Officers thank God you are here.” Tiffany was saying
before the first cop cut her short.
“Wait a minute; aren’t you supposed to be dead?” The
cop said to Tiffany
“It’s a long story officer, these two kidnapped all these
people including me and brou-ght us here to kill us,
they succeeded with the others but you and your men
arrived just in time to safe me.” Tiffany said and I saw
the b—h for who she really was, no remorse at all and
for a second there the cops seemed to believe her.
“Shut up b—h!” Victory exclaimed “I got solid evidence
here.” She said and reached for her insides. Next she
brou-ght out a tiny c@m£ra device and handed it to the
first cop.
“There you go, loud and clear.”
The sorry look on Tiffany’s face changed to agitation,
she immediately went after the second cop and dis
armed him, and then she aimed the gun at the first cop.
The three policemen exchanged funny looks. “Drop the
gun madam, it’s useless” the first cop said.
“Why should I do that, I refuse to get caught” Tiffany
was aiming at everyone.
“The gun is empty, I’m a rookie; they won’t let me go
out with loaded guns” the second cop said, brou-ght out
handcuffs and cuffed Tiffany.
“Am detective Sam and these are my p@rtners
detective Tom and Jeremiah respectively.” The first cop
introduced themselves. “And you miss Tiffany, you are
un-der arrest for as-saulting a police rookie and if we
find evidence in this record that you have a hand in this
deaths… well lets watch the video first.” Detective Sam
said to Tiffany and then he turned to us and said. “You
two still have to come with us to the station.”
“No problem.” We both said.
At the station, after all testimonies and evidence was
gathered and investigations carried out on the crime
scenes, I was labeled a free man. I never saw or spoke
to Tiffany again and I never cared.
After I left the station I went outside and met Victory, I
was smiling at her but she kept a straight face at me.
When I approached her and was about thanking her for
everything she did, she landed a sl@p to my face.
I held my cheek. “What was that for?”
“I thought you were a decent guy.” She said with her
arms around her b©dy.
“I am a decent guy”
“What kind of decent guy confesses love to a woman
then sleeps with another woman knowing fully well
that she is married?”
I scratched my head. “Well she technically wasn’t
married.”
“At the time Charles she was.”
“Ok I am sorry Vic, and now that I think about it, it
was disgusting.” I said and held her head. She started
smiling.
“Look Charles I will marry you on the condition that we
move from this country.”
“Dude you svçkat proposals!” I said and Victory laughed
loud.
We gazed at each other for a while before she pu-ll-ed
closer and planted a k!sson myl-ips. I have k!$$£d
before but no k!sstasted as real as this one. I held her
in my arm for what seemed like forever.
