TEMI 2 Episode 12

Written by Anthony Temiloluwa Kenny (Saintkenz)

Lance had removed his pistol from the holster and had gripped it with his two hands and spinning cautiously like a watchful soldier ready for onslaught. He realised the present sullen minatory the situation had wricked into was not what he had for once envisioned or expected. He had expected to meet a lenient talker who would express excessively and also put out all the evidences he claimed he has to nap his target. It was unfortunate that with the way things were going, it wasn’t going to end well after all.

Lance was still twirling in the same axis when all of a sudden something his sense organs couldn’t construe flew from where he didn’t see at his behind and impinge on his nucha. As he made to feel or touch or probably remove the dam thing that hit him at his nucha he realised the syringe like had started injecting only some unknown liquid substance into his body. And before he could it pull it out, the syringe had finished draining all it contents into his body.

In split seconds, strength ebbed away from him as irresistible fatigue sapped through his body. His eyes dimed and all his limbs went numbed and thud! Lance dropped on the floor like a lifeless body.

Lance only opened his debile eyes after some hours to witness the horror siting in front him. He tried to move his two hands, but the pain oozing out as response got him aware that he hands and feet had been hampered to the iron chair his butt was siting. A glimpse at the small oval table in front of him made him realise his pistol lying comfortably with it mouth facing him on the table. TEMI 2 Episode 12

“Welcome back Lance” an heavy brusque voice filtered into his ear and that of course widened his still murkily opened eyes to see two men sitting on two chairs across him. But he never had the opportunity to know whence came the voice.

“i bet you didn’t prepare for this” same voiced boomed out again making Lance to decide the owner of the previous. ” You know have got to extol myself for doing a great job to cozen you down here after my whole trail on you.. Seriously i have pondered on why you unfledged youth of nowadays always enjoy to look for trouble in the name of a profession or extolments as the,case maybe” Dr. Banji paused.

“Well I’m Dr.Banji, derrick’s father.. Same person you put a call to that you want to speak with.. Guess you don’t even know me right ? And how on hell did you actually get my number ? Ohh! I’m sure that pesky son of Derrick’s roommate gave you my number.. That lad should be thought a lesson too ” Dr.Banji heaved a sigh before he continued ” Well, Lance you called to quizz me out, now i’m here.” Dr.Banji yapped out gibingly.

Lance’s vena had swollen in ire as his eyes now surged through the man behind his ordeal. He wished the shackles he was hampered with could rupture so as to allow him draw out the last breath outta his nostril.

“What do you know about the death of your son ?” He finally quashed his rage.

“Well that’s a long story Lance, but i will tell you everything you need to know.just like giving you my autobiography for free Lance.. Oh! Wait! Did i say free ?? No no,no no! I can’t let you in the story of my life like that without collecting anything from you.. I will tell you all your pity life is dying to know at the cost of your life! You will know who the killer of my son ..but so unfortunately you will not be able to cob him. Because you will not even live to see the next sunrise” Dr.Banji uttered with complacency. While Lance drew back in irritancy. So pity this wasn’t what he bargained for. His narcissistic and selfishness had led him to this.

“So here we go” Dr. Banji continued. He divulged everything Lance was surging to know. He explicated his annual sacrifices to Sagutary that entails the serial grisly killing of any available teenage boys. How the killer of Derrick was destined to be his doom and how his negligence had made him loose his only son through the so called doom. Dr. Banji uncovered every horrendous and dreadful acts of his knowing fully well that Lance wouldn’t live to see another day to expose him.

“You are goddam soul! You are evil.. You deserved to be stifle hard till air ebb away from you” Lance spat out.

“Ohh ohh ? Is that what you think ?” Dr. Banji jeered. I’m hundred percent certain that’s not even coming in years to come.

“And who is this taciturn that’s is beside you” Lance queried throwing eyes at Dami that just sat down beside Dr. Banji with a reticent posture.

“This my friend,and my accomplice..we’v been into the game for long. Long enough that you weren’t even born then ..” Dr. Banji spruced while quadrupling Lance’s ramp who had taken time to lashed out on Dami.

“i guess it’s time for you to say goodbye Inspector Lance. You have known too much already. And anybody who knew too much didn’t live to tell. That has been the code Lance.” Dr. Banji said rather staidly.

I know reason you easily fell into my entrap. Your emotions betrayed you. The emotion you felt towards my daughter had made you selfish to the point of derailing from your professional ethnics. Thanks to that.. Probably i wouldn’t be able to tie down almighty Lance here.” Dr.Banji mocked while picking up Lance pistol laying on the table and pointed it on Lance’s forehead.

Lance looked straight into the gun’s nozzle with an upright eye. Time to say goodbye to Mirabel, time to say goodbye to the bliss of planet earth. He watched with keen intrest as Dr. Banji gripped and pressed the trigger, he knew just one bullet stuck into his brain was enough to silent him for life. And though sweat immediately purged out from his body, inspector Lance still remained totally fearless.

Poow!! A sound blared out. Lance closed his eyes expecting some sort of rapture.. But fortunately nothing happened. He was still untouched and was still inhaling oxygen. He later opened his eyes to find Dr. Banji sprawling on the floor and holding his right hand. His friend, Dami hand up was facing a masked man. Inspector Lance peered his look to the masked man..and it was the perfect description of the killer of Derick Olabanji Daniel.

“Powww poww powww poww poww poww poww !
7 shots from the masked man’s weapon had Dami tumbling round before finally dropping down lifelessly..
