**THAT NIGHT AT BARR.LINDA’S HOUSE**
Barr. Linda was seen in her sitting room walking to and from with her hands on her jaw full of thoughts. Often she sits on the couch and stands up immediately looking so restless.. Just then her phone rang and she picked it up
”Hello” She said on the phone
”Hello you b****!! You think you can just say whatever you like in court and go free.. You spoke against my husband when you were supposed to speak on his dead behalf. You will pay for this” The female voice said from the phone and Linda looked very confused
”Please, who are you?” Linda asked
”You dare to know..?” The female voice asked and hung up the call
”What??!!” Linda exclaimed taking the phone off her ear and flinging it on the couch
”Sis, who was that?” Dave asked slowly walking out from the pillar he laid on and Linda looked at him
”A Silly female daring my life” Linda said
”Why, who is she? Have you been having problems with anyone before?” Dave asked looked so shivery
”No.. I haven’t. I think it was all about the court case the other day” Linda said
”I knew it. I said it that this will lead to another problem. This is a high case profile. I warned you to reject that job but you insist.. First, I was kidnapped now you are been threatened by someone tagged Unknown” Dave said with a harsh voice as tears dropped from his ears
”It’s alright darling.. Nothing will happen to me. I promise” Linda said sitting beside Dave and curdling him
”I don’t want to loose you Sis” Dave said
”You won’t” Linda said and placed her head on his..
”But….” Dave said and paused raising his head up
”What?” Linda asked
”What were you thinking before that call rolled in?” Dave asked and Linda’s mood changed
”That Kidnapper.. There is something about him that my mind just can’t comprehend” Linda said
”Huh?? Don’t tell me you are falling in love with a criminal” Dave said starring at her with his full blurged out eyes
”What?,.. No.. Not at all.. How can I?” Linda asked
”But, from what you told me on his treatment to you and some other things.. I have dealt with so many criminals, but I think thee is just something different about this one” Linda said standing up and Dave starred at her with her mouth opened wide….

The merriment and celebration on Chief Williams victory in the court case was still taking place that night as Chief Wilson, Chief Williams, Mrs. Williams and Prof. Michael were all dancing to a high sounding music xith glass of wine in their hands. They danced chatted and laughed happily but the sound of the music made all their talks and noises unheard.. Natasha was also part of the celebration..
The compound was highly secured by Police Officers and thugs fully and heavily armed but suddenly gunshots was heard from the outside and they quickly switched off the music..
”What is happening?” Chief Wilson asked as everyone was in fear.. They ran helter skelter in confusion not knowing what to do. Few seconds later three dark men entered the sitting room and shot gun in the air and they all screamed aloud
”Everybody get down!!” They ordered and they all laid in fear and trembling
”I see.. You are making merry huh?” One of them that looks like their boss said
”Well, sorry to interrupt” He added and walked about.. Due to the attracting figure of Natasha, he was eye-drawn to her and he matched her buttocks which made Natasha to shiver more
”This one looks sweet” He said and they laughed
”All works and no play makes Jack a dull boy mehn” He said and dragged Natasha up
”Boys, take care of things here let me go upstairs” He said and angrily looked at Natasha
”Now lead the way” He said and Natasha pleaded
” Shut up and move!!” He shouted and other corked their guns. Natasha shaking walked upstairs with the man..
**UPSTAIRS**
The man pushed Natasha hardly towards the bed and dropped his gun so as to easily undress.. Natasha struggled but he slapped her and drew down her clothes
”It’s not good to harrass a Lady Bro” A thisck deep voice said from the dark and the man rushed up immediately looked around the room. Just then Spartacus walked out holding nothing in his hands.
”Who the hell are you and how did you get here?” The man asked
”I actually don’t know myself” Spartacus said
”But what are you doing on a lady?” Spartacus asked
”How dare you ask me stupid questions!” The man exclaimed and bent down to pick up his gun and shoot on lifting up his head, Spartacus flinged a knife which nailed his head to the wall..
”Get up young Lady.. Clean yourself up and stay here” Spartacus said
”There are others downstairs” Natasha said with a shaky voice
”Just do what I told you” Spartacus said in a cool voice and left through the door. The blood gushing from the man’s head frightened Natasha as she stayed in the room just as Spartacus ordered

**THE NEXT DAY**
”Davey darling, please hurry up!” Barr. Linda said wearing a black and white decent cloth sitting on the dinming table drinking tea. Few Seconds later, Dave walked down sluggishly
”Good Morning Sis” Dave greeted
”Sleepy head” Linda said and laughed while Dave sat down
”Why do you always want me to drink tea with you?” Dave asked cutting out some slices of bread
”To make sure you ate” Linda said not looking at him
”You mean I won’t eat if you are away?” Dave asked
”Who knows.. Maybe” Linda said still not looking at him
”C’mon Sis.. I’m no longer a baby” Dave said
”Yeah, but you are the only one I have, you are my husband, boyfriend, brother, father and mother and I vow to take good care of you” Linda said pet rubbing his neck as Dave looked at her with an emotional eyes
”You are my everything Dave” She added and perked him. Dropped her tea cup and carried her bag. Her words were still ringing in Dave’s ears
”I’m off” Linda said and walked out..
”Hey Sis, wait” Dave called out from behind as Linda wanted to enter her car
”You forgot something” Dave said walking closer
”What’s that?” Linda asked
”Your phone and your files” Dave said
”Oh.. My.. Thanks alot, I would have frustratingly searched for these at work today” Linda said and collected them
”Thank you” She said and opened her car
”I’m still afraid” Dave said with a low voice and Linda stopped immediately as her mood changed
”Afraid of what?” Linda asked
”The Unknown.. The call you got last night and some other stuffs” Dave said looking very pale
”Don’t worry yourself baby, I’ll be fine. Trust me. Nothing will happen to me” Linda said and Dave embraced her immediately
”I love you too Sis” Dave said reciprocating the love Linda professed to him inside
”Take Care” He added and disengaged the hug. Linda entered her car and drove out. Dave opened the gates for her and waved at her as she left..
”What a lovely Sis” Dave said to himself
”I have all day to myself..” Dave said happily and ran inside the house
:
Linda got to the main entrance of her office but a black land rover car was parked at the gate, so she came down from her car trying to know if she would see who parked the car
”Musa.. Musa!!” She called out on the gate man but he didn’t reply
”Gosh.. Even the small gate is blocked” Linda said and just then two men walked to the scene in black suits
”Oh.. My.. So sorry my dear. We went to buy something accross the road” They apologised
”But you would have parked it somewhere else, there are lots of parking spaece here” Linda said a bit politely
”We are sorry beautiful lady” They apologised again
”Whatever.. Please drive out from the entrance, I’m already late for work” Linda said and walked into her car. As she entered her car, the two men brought out their guns and entered the car immediately
”Shhhhhh…” They said to Linda from the back seat as she was already shocked and shivering
”Drive this car” One of them said
”Now!!” The other one yelled at her which frightened Linda the most and she ignited the engine with a shivering hand.
”Keep going straight till we say stop” They said to her but she never looked at them
”Please, who are you.. Please, what have I done wrong? Please spare my life.. Pleaseee” Linda pleaded with eyes fll of tears not looking at them as she concentrated on her driving
”Better shut up and drive” They warned her and she drove.
Getting to a bit lonely place, they stopped her and dragged her to the back seat. One of the guys now handled the wheels of the car while the other tied up Linda in her mouth to avoid her from screaming.
With great speed they drove into a bushy area and they stopped
”Get her down!” One of them ordered and the other dragged Linda out
”Your type is needed urgently in hell” One of the men said and corked his gun immediately but before he could shoot, Aprtacus shot him from behind and he fell down
”Butcher.. Butcher..” The other guy called his dead partner looking at him
”You coward, come out!!” He barked knowing someone was hiding
”I wasn’t hiding” Spartacus said walking out
”You fool, you killed my friend” He said
”No. He killed himself” Spartacus tackled his words
”You’ll pay for this!” He said angrily
”Wait.. Wait” Spartacus paused his action
”Let’s drop these gus and have a one on one fight” Spartacus said and convinced the guy for a hand fight, but before he could move a step forward, Spartacus slipped out a pistol and shot him dead and Linda was shocked the more. Spartacus loosed her and looked at her
”Please spare me.. I beg you” Linda said and Spartacus entered the car
”Hop in” Spartacus said and Linda entered immediately
”Thank you” Linda said and Spartacus ignited the engine of the car…
