Fighting Back: Episode 27 ..... He stood surprised to see her, he forgot his gun. Who are you? Im someone looking for the underground. Hester turned and began to leave. But he was fast, he grabbed her the arm and spun her close. Who are you? His voice was icy. I am looking for the underground, can you help me? She met his gaze. With both hands holding her neck, he pushed her to the wall. He didnt know her. Her right leg went to the wall before her body to absorb the force so she doesnt feel pain as he pushed her against the wall. For the last time woman, who are you and what are you doing here? She was quiet. He hit her back against the wall. Open your mouth and talk, beautiful women dont freak me out, open your mouth and talk! Guys with smelling mouth reminds me of a faeces drain. His grip around her neck tightened. I am going to kill you! With her right leg, she kicked him on his left leg. He released her. She kicked his leg once more and he went on a knee with a groan. He grabbed her gown and dragged her down with him. With enclosed fist, she delivered a blow to his jaw, as he head went back, she gave him a backhand slap across his chest. He doubled over and coughed blood. She glanced around. He stretched both hands above and touched the gun. She saw him too quickly, thankfully, the corridor wasnt rugged, she slide down. Before he could lift his hands, she was behind him, she grabbed his neck. He fired forward desperate for breath. As the grip tightened, he dropped and held her arms all futile effort to free his neck so he could breathe. She let him go eventually. Massaging his neck restlessness, he coughed and pant for air. She picked the gun and towered him. You are …you will die in that underground. He spat blood. Smiling, she waited for him to look at her. She allowed herself go and landed his knees on her shoulders. He cursed and wailed . Which is the way to the underground? Ive …Ive not been there. You as good as dead! She cocked the gun. No …its towards the east, trut …truthfully I have never been there. His eyes were clouded. I want you to tell me, I will get there successfully. He didnt answer. She kicked his side. You will not die …please …please … He closed his eyes and gnashed his teeth. She knocked him out with the butt of the gun. Knowing the shot could have served as an alert. She began running, she saw the switch box and turned it off. The light out. She fetched a small torch from a bag she carried across her. She heard what she assumed as footsteps. Spontaneously, she jumped on a pole and slid down. She jumped on another and she did same. Hold it! Hester froze. .... .... Hold it ! A voice said. She frozed. Turn around. She brought out the guns and face him, she pulled the trigger of one and a bullet flying. He dived to the ground and closed his eyes. She fired another shot before covering the distance between them. His gun was still in his sheath. Well aware of the chaos that was brewing in the building, she decided not to waste time. Which way lead to the underground? I …dont know. She didnt believe him. Stand …no …place your hands on your head. Lead the way to the underground... Wait. She unbuckled his sheath and tossed the gun to the ground. Any silly move, you become a gory sight. Now go … He obeyed. Few minutes later, That is the door, its coded and I dont know how to open it We have come this far and does not mean I cant still blow up your brain Frank, that door is not coded, it requires a Hampton and I know you have been in there before. No …no ma. He trembled knowing he was doomed if Oladimeji ever find out. Place your hand on the screen or Ill make do with your dead palms! She ran out patience. He obeyed and the door began to slide open. I cant open the rest, please … dont make me because I cant. Tears rolled down his cheek. She believed him and shot him. He fell. She entered in knowing he would survive. She hadnt hit any majors. The door closed behind. She saw cameras but it didnt matter to her. She got another door and saw it was coded. She brought out her phone, opened an application, she allowed to the screen of her phone to touch the screen on the door. She withdrew her phone and typed in what was displayed on screen. The green signal and it then it opened. She did same for the second and third, And then, She climbed down the ladder and came face to face with an open deep space. She saw the control button and the platform. Hester stood and the platform and pressed the control button. It spread opened with great force that made her loose balance and sent her rolling dangerous on the steps that had now formed. The mistake, She shouldnt have stood on the platform. Hester landed bent over , hot tears stung her eyes. She gnashed her teeth as pain threatened to torn her being apart. She coughed and spat blood, though she couldnt see it, she felt. Her vision was blurred, she blinked severally. She knew she must have fractured something or things. No I couldnt have come this far to be caught …to go back. She blinked severally. God please help me... Her fighting spirit returned, she gnashed her blood stained teeth as hot tears rolled her cheeks. She placed one hand in front and then a knee, .... she crawled slowly …stopping in between to take deep breaths. She got to a wall and struggled painfully to her feet, a hand came over her mouth. Hester slumped into unconsciousness. +++++ **** She is badly injured, very injured, a thorough check up has to be carried out. Doctor... do everything possible okay? She dont look good to me at all. The Doctor nodded. The major problem I see is her leaving today. Today Doctor, today, even if it is in the middle of the night. I dont mind moving the hospital over, surgery or no surgery. The doctor stared at Ethel knowing he meant it. +++++ **** Sir, we …we dont know but she escaped. Escaped! He roared and the hall echoed his voice. Their heart beat quickened. They were all gathered and on their feet. That should be an impossibility. He shook his head. Escape. Oladimeji repeated and paced still finding it hard to believe. How come? How did that ever happen? Sir, she escaped through the underground. One of his inner circle bodyguards said. Underground! He practically screamed. It is not possible to escape through the underground not with the codes and all! His gaze swept their faces. I dont want to consider the underground because its really crazy, it is absurd she should have never gotten close to that place. He closed his eyes. I said it on the day she stepped here that excuse of whatever form left my dictionary. So you forgot so soon what I did to scorpion and Co. He faced them. I need explanations fast, how did she pass the trio security that should be on every corridor? What happened, what the hell happened! He worked his fingers through his Afro hair. A grave yard silence engulfed the hall. Oladimeji was burning with rage, he approached one of his officers and gave him a slap with the back of his left palm. He did same for the couple of persons next to him. He checked his blazer, in his hurry, he had forgotten his gun. God damn it! Where is that gun! Sting go and get me two clubs from my office. He immediately left. They all began perspiring in the airconditioned room. While we are waiting for him, I will like to see pictures of the happenings of last night. He removed his blazer and sat before the screen. One of camera operator lost control of his bladder and it gave way. Boss …we …we …Im very sorry Sir but we didnt put on the cameras. He jolted out of his seat as if he just sat on fire and grabbed the sword hung on the wall. They all bow. Please boss, have mercy. They chorused . Sting entered. Please boss, have mercy. He pleaded knowing how his boss could be in anger. He glared in anger and after few seconds, he tossed the sword to him. It landed close to his feet. Oladimeji stormed out of hall still shocked at his misfortune. He entered his room and wept at his mistake. I lost her again. His whole body shook as he sobbed. +++++ Episode 28 @3pm
