HOTNESS OF THE BASEMENT - CHAPTER TWO

JIDE

What has happened I cannot really explained, I just found myself in my car on top speed running for my dear life. There was an unexpected raid by the police department. We must have been reported, I thought to myself. I saw Musa killed and Yemi killed with Stephen brutally wounded from the sudden clash that occurred which we did not prepare for. The last time such happened, we were all able to escape the cold hands of death but this time was not our lucky day. Immediately I discovered they were around and started surrounding our small abode of evil perpetration, I already took the exit door that we purposefully created at the back of the house that led to the car park. I was hurriedly on my way out when an officer of the law stormed into the house and before Musa could lift his weapon he was shot dead on the spot, Yemi did same I guessed before he was also shot. Seeing that further pushed me to speed up my speed and hurriedly unlocked the door and took to my heels towards my car that was already waiting for my arrival.
How I got home was beyond my own expectation and explanation but I found myself rushing inside the house causing Juliet to panic.
“What happened?” She asked immediately I locked the door behind me panting. I refused to answer and just brushed her shoulder and walked straight into my room to get over the unexpected nightmare and the terror that has just been unleashed on me. Game over! No more businesses for us, perhaps me. There suddenly became need for me to relocate outside Ile-Ife as Stephen might be rescued and tortured to confess and at that point I will no longer be safe. How to quickly pack my things came to my mind and definitely, I was not going to leave Juliet behind, we will be going to Ibadan together where I planned to go and chill with the little change left in my account pending the time the whole matter will die down.
“Start packing your things, we are living immediately!” I yelled at Juliet who was still confused on what was going on. I did not plan explaining anything to her as I now owned her. I was expecting her to question my authority but she did not, out of fear, which gave me quick joy, she went inside and did pack her things as instructed before I made us hurriedly leave the house. My black muscle Camry was already waiting and breathing really hard to zoom us off to Ibadan immediately. For Juliet not to be aware of our destination, since she was already desperate and passionate about escaping, I watched her walk before and before I took my decision of knocking her off, I did well to have a very good look and assessment of her cheeks which were now my property by default.
I made her sit comfortably before suffocating her temporarily with one of our devices for the next two hours which I felt should be enough to drive out of Ife and settle in Ibadan.
