Last oda: Chapter 1 contd. . .

No he saw them! One was climbing down a small tree close to the footpath while the other hastily disappeared into the footpath. The men moved like ghosts, with utmost care not to alarm their target. There was that grim expression on their faces, which frightened the commercial cyclist. He was certain they had seen him, but probably their concern was somewhere else.

The men were dressed in black; one in a black T-shirt and jeans and the other in a black shirt and chinos, with black berets pulled over their left ears. In their possession were dangerous-looking guns. The men were deadly, and the Akawoke man knew it.

He had no doubt, who the two men were after. Quickly, he fixed the plug. He stood, the good part of him told him to warn the stupid boy. He could have conveniently done that and gotten away but when he remembered what the boy had just done to him, his anger intensified.

“Let him go rot in hell where he belonged!” he mumbled as he climbed on his bike. Quickly he started the bike and rode off.

Chapter 1

University of Calabar

14th July 2000

Earlier that day, a friend of his had borrowed his fully-loaded Luger and gave him his near empty Beretta. It was understandable as his friend was about to embark on a very dangerous mission. Moreover, he did not anticipate making use of the gun, as he had no intention of going out. He also agreed to what has now turned out to be a very bad arrangement, because of the .38 Colt he had recently acquired from an ex-ECOMOG soldier, who had returned from Liberia.

But the ordeal he was now going through rocked his whole being. Just then, he heard a noise in the front and jumped nervously, but quickly relaxed on realizing it was only a grasscutter making its way across the path. Foolish reflexes! He cursed.

The sun was slowly and gracefully setting, casting its shadow from the western horizon. But, as if prompted to counter the beautiful soft radiation of the sun, a humid air that clung on the immediate atmosphere tried to make the scenery appear slightly morbid. The surrounding bush did the least, to add a little glamour to the already soured atmosphere around the University of Calabar. The sight of the footpath ahead made the hairs on his body to stand. His nerves were pricked as he made his way through it. The footpath was a shortcut linking the major road and the hostel he was heading to. It continued further to the Qua Ibo River behind the hostel.

Lives were snuffed out of fifty-five students. At the center of the fiasco was the Supreme Chief of the Pirates Confraternity, Jerry Orits A.K.A. Hannibal the Great. It started with a girl and ended with Blood.

Lots of blood!

Among the frat men, retaliation and retribution rank high. At the end of the bloody spar, what casually began as a 'warning lesson' was concluded with reprisals, forcing Hannibal and others to realize that cultism was no way to stay alive. It is as dangerous and deadly as a richocheting bullet.
