Devi drove into his yard and found Ben’s car parked there. His head felt like it could drop off from the neck. He got out of the car and slowly walked to the front door limping. As soon as he entered the house, he directly went to his little bar in his living room and grabbed a quarter bottle of Jameson and gulped it all the way down his oesophagus. He then put the bottle on the counter and wondered where Ben was. He heard footsteps behind him and turned around, there stood Ben with a weary face.
“Damn!” Devi gritted his teeth. “Sometimes you act like this is your house.”
Ben didn’t say anything but walked past him and grabbed the same bottle he had drank from and gulped as well. If Devi knew, he would have noticed that Ben was in turmoil.
“Why would you need that for?” Devi grabbed the bottle from him.
As Devi wanted to take another sip, he heard footsteps coming from the other room and knew there was anoth

She wasn’t sure how she would meet him at first because she didn’t get his phone number. She just went trusting that he would show up and he did.“Perhaps you've both met somewhere before,” Hunter said.“He’s my boss' cousin. There is something about him that i didn’t like. Enough of that, any progress on the search for the two murderers?”“Not really but i have been asking around. No one seems to know where they are found these days.”“I think my new boss can help us.

There was nothing anyone could have done but just watch and hope for a miracle. He had made himself Chief but it wasn’t official because Walu was apparently missing and nobody knew where he was. Mapulanga had theorized to the elders that the boy was dead because the hospital he had been taken to had no records of him. This raised suspicions but no one dared to ask. They were only waiting for the day when some other elders would come to Chisoti village and crown him as chief.He sat next to his wife he now referred to as Queen with no trace of shame.

He slowly reached for it too and pulled the door. The door was also forcefully pushed from outside it widely opened. Standing before Hunter was a tall giant figure of a man staring directly into his eyes. Hunter didn’t want to take any chances he threw a punch at the man and boom, the man was knocked down to the floor. He pulled him into the room and grabbed his head and struck him with his knee. He then jabbed him in the stomach, now looking at him clearly.“I come in peace,” the man shouted, his hands in the air.Hunter didn’t recognize the man. “Who are you? Identify yourself.”“I am Dumi from Chisoti village!” the man responded with fear in his voice while coughing.“Dumi!” Walutanga yelled from under the bed.

Pieces of glass were shattered everywhere in the tiny room and there was a stench of blood. With one hand on the floor and a fist covered in blood, Hunter looked at Devi whose devilish smile didn’t fade on his face despite the punches that landed on his face the last 3 minutes. He didn’t leave Hunter unpunished as well, he threw in his heaviest blows on Hunter’s face that his nose was broken but that couldn’t be compared to how his jaw was hanging loose. The smile made it awkward. Hunter knew he had to take him out for good. He charged and threw one punch which Devi weakly blocked and removed his knife. He swung it across Hunter but he stepped back seeing it pass through his face inches away. Hunter grabbed Devi’s hand with the knife and hit it in the joint, the knife left his hand and dropped on the floor. Devi wanted to reach for it but Hunter beat him to it and kicked it under the bed. With his hand held tightly by Hunter, Devi decided to jump on Hunter and poked his eyes

After some minutes he came back looking even more confused. She didn’t want to say anything yet. He left her again and went to the car park and came back with her handbag and his bag.“How did you find me?” she asked as they started walking out of the yard.“Your phone,” he pointed at her handbag.It then dawned on her that her parents must have been calling her. She quickly searched her bag and removed the phone but it was switched off already.“I overheard them talking about taking the boy back to the village,” she sighed.“I am going back there.”She didn’t say anything.
