Chapter 3 The chase

As he joined Kafue road, he shifted gears as he was twenty again and felt the years peal away with a throaty laugh. Something remained constant though, it puzzled that his body was behaving this way after so long. He drove through Kafue road like a mad man, making the round at Kafue round about and then he sped down Cairo Road. He heard the sirens then looked at his rear view mirror and found a car with the initials R.T.S.A in pursuit of him. With a smile on his face, he floored the accelerator making the 4000 horse power machine roar with speed.

The lady's car was now in view and had slowed down because of the agency car so he waved at her as he drove past her, she almost looked worried. He just laughed as he made the turn at Kabwe round about at 210kmph and gunned up the fly over bridge and down Great East Road. He pumped the hand break that made the car move side ways then floored the accelerator when the entrance was in view, the car launched forward leaving skid marks on the tar and smoke from the burnt rubber. He felt the adrenaline rush through his vein and felt his years peal away.

The valet heard the skidding of the car and rushed outside to see what was happening only to find the car rocketing into the premises at an unbelievable speed. He stood there not knowing what to do as the car came down the drive way, he saw and heard the tires stretch the tiled floor as the driver obviously hit the breaks, and saw the car sway at its pivot and made a U-turn then came to a stop as the though the driver was ejected, he came out as soon as the car came to a stop.

As she drove into the drive way of the hotel were she saw the car with the initials R.T.S.A exiting the premises. She walked into the foyer only to find him talking to the receptionist looking down at her while she smiled up at him as if she was looking at the most wonderful thing in the world. Surprisingly she felt jealous and walked faster so to hear their conversation. "Likando.." she head him call the receptionist by 'name', she wondered. " How may I help you Mr Nkhoma" with a smiley girlish voice that irritated Lindiwe.

Noticing the lady walking in, Likando stiffened and he noticed the switch in her manner then he turned and found the lady standing five paces behind him. He smiled at her though the smile did not reach his eyes, he noticed that the woman wasn't smiling and from the look on her face he could tell that something had changed and without a word she walked briskly to the elevator doors and pressed the open button.

She heard the soft heel of his shoes against the and just like a curse, the breeze came into foyer sending the fragrance he wore up her nose in full force. Goose bumps spread all over her body, this jolted her pulse and made her knees weak, 'oh this man!!' she thought, 'if just........' she didn't finish her thought because he was standing just behind her with his breath caressing her hair and neck. The fact he was breath slowly though hard made her want him even more. The elevator doors slid open and she walked into the elevator, turning to press the floor the button she gasped for barely reached the control panel before he was upon her.
