***********Episode 48********
There was a lot of action to look forward to as I dressed up, covered my nakedness with my Calvin Klein boxers and singlet before dashing into the bathroom for a quick wash…..In five minutes I was standing in the room once again smelling fresh and clean……….putting my clothes on, Sophia stirred in the bed, I paused and walked over to plant a kiss on her lips……”welcome back to earth baby boo”, I whispered in her ears as she smiled and snuggled back under the bed covers…….Went back to dressing and in a short while my black Bentley was glistening in the setting sun as I drove out of the compound…….set my gps and traced Alice’s house on it……
Got there as she was making her way out of the gate. Seeing me, she wore a very big smile, she obviously hadn’t expected this expensive lifestyle from me in any way…….I got down from the vehicle and ushered her in through the other door….”wow, common criminals are certainly getting more sophisticated”, she said smiling as she got in……”please call me Greg”, I replied smiling as I made my way into the vehicle after shutting the door for her……..she looked very beautiful and delicate as she wore a sea blue floral gown with a plunging neckline that revealed her ample cleavage, any guy would kill to have this hot chick on his bed and blood jnr nodded in agreement…….that organ was a f—–g fool, it would get me into trouble one day, no doubt!!!!
Alice had started taking selfies when I pulled out of their neighbourhood and onto the major road en-route to the senator’s ceremonial mansion….We got there behind schedule and I could already see a lot of exotic cars parked…..I had anticipated that this would be a show of wealth partly forming the basis for my decision to bring the bentley…..I finally found a free parking space to rest my beast…..As Alice got out of the car, I could notice the look of awe and surprise on her face……”you have very rich friends”, she said as she noticed me looking at her face……smiling broadly I looped my hand at my sight and in a very mellow voice, I said “my lady for tonight, shall we???”, ”of course your majesty”, she replied as we both laughed and made our way into the mansion and we’re subsequently ushered into the banquet hall…..We were looking like a newly wedded couple and caught most of the crowd’s eye as we walked in…..We both made a statement with our dressings…..”EXPENSIVE”.
The banquet hall was filled with influential people most of whom I knew…….I began introducing Alice to some of the couples who came around us….Apparently I had been missed here in Abuja and the crowd made it very evident with the way they flocked around me and my date……..In a short while, the attention had attracted the senator himself and he walked over to where we stood with an air of authority around him….He hadn’t changed a bit, a very big man with short black stubby hair….”Greg, am glad you could make it”, he said smiling as he motioned some females to come over, ”your date is looking very beautiful, whats your name dear??”, he asked looking at Alice….
”Thanks for the compliment sir, you don’t look bad at all yourself, My name is Alice”, she said as she ‘courtesied’
She had very good manners and she was making me a proud guy at the moment…..”your welcome my dear, surely you won’t be displeased if the female folk stole you away for some mingling while I reminisce on old times with this young man”, he said to her….”not at all sir”, she quipped as some excited young ladies took her away….from my judgment they were concubines of the influential men who were present here at the fundraiser……I walked with the senator and greeted people, he introduced me to people and I made some vital connections…..As we stopped at the bar section of the whole, I could see his countenance has changed as he spoke,” why are all of you suddenly looking for me??”,” all of us??? Am the only one here, isn’t it??? I offered trying to wrap my mind around what is happening…….”If am not mistaken and my eyes have not started playing pranks, that’s your buddy over there”, he said nodding in the opposite direction…….I turned and scanned that part of the hall as a jolt of liquid electric anger flashed through me…..there standing in the hall flashing his white teeth was Trigger, as soon as I saw him I smiled broadly……
As if my stare on him had an effect on him, he looked at me and immediately his smile disappeared, ”whats the problem with you two?? he doesn’t look too pleased to see you”, the senator said……..”your right, he isn’t pleased at all”, I said not wanting to arouse the senator’s suspicion cos I didn’t know yet if he was involved in this whole scheme or not…….In my mind this was judgment day!!!! If all went according to plan….someone was gonna die tonight……..
