Tapping the red button, everything seemed to slow down as the RPG roared to life, vomiting the missile that had been trapped within it…..I looked on intently ignoring the shouting of the two men in the car, ”get down”, they yelled at the top of their voices but this was too glorious to miss……The RPG fell from my hands and back into the car as I raised my hands to shield my face,the RPG’s missile had made contact with the speeding vehicle…..It was unfolding in slow motion before my eyes, earlier, I had heard the soldiers screaming frantically, ”incoming RPG”…while they tried in vain to steer the car to safety…..too late!! The deployed missile had already made contact with the ill-fated landrover…..The explosion pushed our car forward and flung me all the way into the car as my head struck the wind screen, I had landed on the gear handle, I heard the ruccus as both men on the front seats struggled to get me out of the way….they finally succeeded in pushing back to the seat behind….

Thanks to me, the Landrover had been neutralised and we were now within the confines of normal speed limits…..

The injured guy and d guy in front were having a conversation while smiling but I wasn’t hearing s–t!!!!! All that kept resounding in my ears was “nwiiiiiiiii” ever since the land rover had exploded….I felt something crawling down my face and touched it to find out that my face was bleeding, that was my best guess cos my senses weren’t functional fully for me to determine where the blood was coming from, the next thing I know, we had pulled up near a local clinic, I was dragged inside and on gun-point the nurse was asked to stop the bleeding on my head…..she had no choice but to comply….

I had no inclinations as to whether it hurt or not, I was numb all over….Now, I could make the connection, the windscreen was responsible for my bleeding head and from the look of things, they just wanted me to stay alive….this was evident when I was bundled back into the car after the treatment and they sped off…..

I would soon find out why….
