BLOOD FOR BLOOD – Episode 36

********Episode 36*******

I got into my room, locked d door behind me and flung myself at the bed apparently shaken by the news I had just received…..It was only then I remembered that I was holding a bottle; the Carlo Rossi which I had picked up in the sitting room, f–k it; I needed to get high joor!!!!!I

 

Sat up on the bed opened the bottle and took a deep long gulp as if it was the very elixir of life…….I would kill for some epinephrine right now but I had to make do with what I had……I opened my eyes and stared into the nearby mirror, my eyes had turned bloodshot as tears tumbled down my cheeks, don’t go thinking that am the emotional type ,it was merely an aftereffect of the long gulp of alcohol which I had just swallowed…………..turning my attention to the plugged phone near my head board, I set down my bottle on a stool nearby as I reached for it……pressed the power button and the phone responded in the affirmative……I couldn’t wait to see the messages, the phones slow booting was increasing my curiosity by the minute(you all know how blackberry phones behave naah).

 

It finally completed its booting and the startup screen paved way for the home screen……….I rushed to the inbox section and it was still loading, I nearly smashed the phone in annoyance but I controlled my temperament…….it would be a rash decision……..finally!!! the messages had finished loading and I was staring at the two messages on my inbox……….tapping on slows message, the following text typed in block letters burned their way into my eyes, “Bird on the run, loot in danger”, was it just me or were my eyes playing a cruel trick on me………I reached for the bottle of Carlo Rossi for the umpteenth time and took another long gulp trying to regain some of my sanity as my brain was roasting on anger right now……

 

Tapping the second message from Trigger, what I saw drove the nail into the coffin and quaked my entire being, “After am done with slow, am coming for you, you can run but you can’t hide”……….what the hell!!!!!!

 

Apparently, a lot had happened in my absence and it seems trigger now wanted the money for himself……….shameless fool!!!! God I was so angry……I rained abuses on him in my mind, if I laid my hands on him, he would be in a worse shape than a decomposing corpse……

 

I had never being stabbed so hard in my back before, this was betrayal on a whole new level…………I quaked with anger, my muscles bulged, my veins grew visible, my entire body revolted against the information I had just received, I drew the bottle to my lips once more but I received no alcohol, I had emptied the bottle……….I smashed the bottle against the wall and slumped into my bed as my bloodshot eyes kept roaming the ceiling in search for answers….

 

As my engines were still raving in anger, I heard a knock on my door……..it stopped and kept going……….who could that be at this point in time…..
