Osmond got out of the hot€l and got into the cab he had ordered. He looked back to see if anyone was following. He spotted Moko’s car. He had a bad feeling about the car. It was tinted so no one could see the driver or whatever was happening in it.

“Move please!” Osmond said to the cab driver.

Mayowa was following, he was not trying to be hidden. He wanted Osmond to know he was following and probably pull up. He planned to talk to him for the last time but if the talk didn’t work, he was going to rush into his suit pocket for Rekky’s underwear.

He was so sure the underwear was in his suit pocket because when he stepped out of the hot€l, he was so protective of the suit.

Osmond on the other hand was thinking about his escape plan.

“Sir pull up!” He said to the cab driver.

“Sir! Why? We have not gotten to your destination.”

“The car behind us is following us. I want to challenge the driver!” Osmond said.

“Really?” The driver looked through his inner mirror for few minutes.

“Seems so, but stopping here is not a good idea. Let’s pull up at a petrol station and watch if the driver will move on!”

“No! I need to fix this now!” Osmond insisted.

“Then I am sorry, I will drop you off and speed off. I can’t wait to see the end of your conversation!”

“Fine!”

The cab driver pulled up and from where he sat he opened the boot of the car.

Osmond got down. He kept his right hand inside his suit pocket. He was trying to create the illusion of a gun. Osmond took out his box from the boot of the cab.

As soon as the cab left, Mayowa drove towards him.

“I guess you will be needing a lift now!”

“Oh…it’s you again, the prophet of doom! Well guess you know so much about me and where I am headed, you are the perfect ally.” Osmond said getting into the car.

“It’s no coincidence, I have been trailing you since.”

“I know…” Osmond cut

“But my question is why? What is your interest in Rekky. She is not your sister, she is just a random unfortunate girl.”

“No, she is one girl whose destiny is tied to a lot of destinies. Her demise will cause a lot of people to go down as well. If you insist on doing this tonight, you will die and another person will use your wealth.”

“I do not believe you! I need to alight and continue my journey. I have something in my inner pocket that will end your life soon.”

Mayowa laughed real hard.

“You can’t fool me, I know the shape of a gun in my sleep, what you have there is Rekky’s pant. Give it up Osmond. I have lots of money, I can give you some.”

“Ok…I get this…How come I never saw this? You are also after this for Rekky. You also want to use her for money! I should have known. Now you want to pay me off.” Osmond said and before Mayowa could give a response, Osmond hit his head against the mirror. Almost immediately, he hit his head against the steering continuously till Mayowa passed out.

Osmond hurriedly stepped on the brake and engaged the gear to the Park sign.

He got out of the vehicle and since the car was tinted, no one knew what had happened in the car.

Osmond stopped a commercial motorcycle who immediately took him away from the scene.

Moko walked into the deposition unit.

“The girl Tony brought in, have you prepared her for the auction?”

Moko asked Joan about Rekky.

“On it already!”

“Ok! Have you heard from your friend!”

“Not yet!”

“Be ready to mourn with him when he arrives with no one. If I kill him I won’t be losing anything. Tony will fit in perfectly at least he has brought a fowl today!”

Joan could see the end of the day not looking pleasant. She brought out her phone to send Mayowa a message but she remembered he had no phone on him.

***

The boys who brought in Mirabel, Austin, and Doctor Mike were discussing and arguing.

“Guy, don’t let me change it for you!”

“I did not take the Doctor’s phone, maybe it fell off in the ambulance.”

“Guy, if I find out you took the doctor’s phone and you want to eat the money alone, I swear I will kill you.”

“I swear my brother, the phone is not with me. At least I was the one who brought you the woman’s two phones.”

“Fine! Go and sell it and bring my share!”

Unknown to them, Doctor Mike on entering the car had tucked his phone into the car seat.

Doctor Mike’s phone was still inside Tony’s car but because of his job as a doctor his phone was always silent, hence the sufficient battery power even after 24 hours.

***

“We have tracked the phone! It is around Igbesin forest. Your husband was truly kidnapped. That forest is known for housing ritualists. I hope we get to him on time.” The D.P.O said reassuring Mrs. Mike.

At that point, her tough wall came crumbling down.

“My Husband! Oh my God!”

Martins, Tams, and her mother were sitting in front of Pastor Joe.

“The person you came to pray about is a dead meat already,” the pastor said.

“But my Pastor, God is the one who can rescue a prey from the mouth of a lion” Tams mother countered.

“Hmm…Ok…Let’s pray!”

Pastor Joe closed his eyes and all he saw was blood all over the ground.

“Ha!” He said, “This is a tough one ma! The case of this lady is concluded.”

“There is no concluded case before God. God can reverse the irreversible!”

“Mercy has been speaking for this lady all her life. The works of her father has been speaking for her, but she took Mercy and Grace for granted and you ….” he said pointing to her husband, “You failed in your work in her life…it is a pity that most men are looking for wives that will help their destinies, they never look for who they can help to become a better person. Your marrying her was to make your life better, but did you ever think of making her life better?”

Martins bowed his head in shame, he was hearing Chioma all over again through the lips of the Pastor.

“Sir, when God brings a woman into your life, it is for you to help her become the best of who God wants her to be, but most men see women as a gift to just make their own life good. My wife was a witch when I met her and I vowed to God to get her out of the witchcraft. It was tough but I stuck with it. For the first five years of our marriage, I never slept from 12 midnight to 3 am, because that was the time she ought to go for her witchcraft meetings. I would stand as a watchman praying. Guess what! She got delivered and that birthed the fireman I am today. God never gives you a spiritual promotion you don’t qualify for. My wife was the qualifying test for the ministry I have today!” Pastor Joe said.

By this time, Martins was broken on the floor.

“Let me say this, if she dies tonight, you have lost a great gem!”

“Pastor! Help me! Don’t let her die!”

“It’s left to you! I am not her husband. You paid her dowry, therefore the authority over her. You can challenge death over her because she is your wife!”

“I am ready! Teach me how to challenge death!”

“First things first! Are you born again?”

“Not really!”

“That means No! So let’s get that out of the way first.” Pastor Joe said “Are you ready to accept Jesus as your Lord and saviour?”

“Yes!”

“Say this after me!”

“Lord Jesus, I come before you today. I accept you as my Lord and Personal saviour. Forgive me of my sins and trespasses. Help me to live a new life in Christ. Write my name in the book of life and give me the gift of having the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord! In Jesus name I pray!”

Osmond arrived safely at the herbalist’s place. He was panting when he arrived.

“Why are you panting, Osmond?”

“Plenty battles!”

“I told you when you were coming to the earth, you didn’t come with wealth so even as I am trying to help you, the forces that were present the day you were coming to the world are fighting the ritual. Where is the final pant?”

“This is it!” Osmond said handing it over.

***

Joan ran to Moko’s office.

“We have a problem! I think Mayor was right after all!”

“What? What was he right about?”

“About picking a strange lady today!”

“What is strange about her?” Moko was saying as he was already walking towards the deposition unit.

“She cannot be used as someone else is already carrying out a ritual on her.”

“Counter whatever they are doing!”

“It won’t work!” Mayowa said from the entrance.

Mayowa had woken after about 15 minutes in the car. At that time, Osmond had gone. He decided to return to the ritualist’s village.

As soon as he walked into the deposition unit and saw Rekky he realized all his efforts had come to nought. Though he saved a few lives but ultimately he and his family was going to die.

“It’s too late! I tried to warn you!” Mayowa said.

“Shut up! Joan Counter them!” Moko said.

***

“You are going to pray like this…Oh Lord, please send confusion into the midst of the ritualists that wants to kill my wife,” Pastor Joe called out the prayer point to Martins who was praying like a Lion.

“Volatile presence of God visit the camp of the ritualists now and order the release of my wife in Jesus name!”

The sweat that dropped from Martins’ body was as thick as blood!
