Chapter 4 The Thugs!

Along sides an asphalt which lead to two other asphalts, different buildings were put in view, buildings like the apartment house, hotels, clubhouses, eating house, churches, hospitals, and others. All sorts of vehicles patronized the asphalt except the trains, planes, and ships. People were seen patronizing the area too, like some crossing from sides to sides through the Zebra Crossing, some walking by the sides of the asphalt.

The sky was brightly blue, as it was cladding in white clouds, with the sun stocked beside a large cloud, and it gave a mighty glow to the world. Birds flew here and there and so on as the cold breeze passes every opened space.

ALISA'S EATERY HOUSE

This place was huge, with numerous tables and chairs, some were occupied by various people who came here to eat. They're doing justice to their meals; eating and sipping drinks into their torsos.

On the right side inside this eatery, another mini room was built there, where a young lady; Benedict, known as the waiter of the eatery. She was sitting on a chair, and was donned in a white long sleeved and a black skirt with a white apron tied at her waist and neck. The foods they sell to the people were kept in this same room too. The door was closed, but a rectangular opened space was at the side of the room where she can be able to see and communicate with customers.

A young man slowly paced in and approached the waiter. He was cladding in a black outfits; a suit and a pair of shoes. He was in his late 60s and was dark in complexion. Furthermore, he had a bald head with white beards, his look was scary, just was like a wild animal. His beards were all neatly shaved off.

"Hey madam!" he called out loudly, and Benedict tilted her head upward just to see who was calling.

"Oh! Good afternoon sir" She greeted with a smile that made her looked gorgeous.

"Afternoon dear" He replied.

"Ok! What can can I offer you?" Benedict asked.

"Umm...all I will like to have now is white rice and stew source and enough meat, about 6 meats, then you will just accompany it with an orange juice" The Man listed.

"Okay" She said as she brought out a calculator and started calculating the prizes, after that..."Everything is three thousand four hundred and fifty Naira sir" She said.

"Okay it's not a problem" The man said and dipped his hand into his back pocket, he brought out his wallet and took some money out of the bunches that were inside the wallet. "Take this, is 4000 Naira...keep the change" he rendered the money to Benedict as she happily accepted it "Thank you sir! God of Apex City will bless you, sir!"

"I will be waiting for the foods right there" He said and point to the direction where chairs and tables were kept.

"Okay sir, I'm bringing it to write away!" She said,, and the man walked to a sit and sat.

Benedict was happy, she has gotten extra cash. She took the five hundred and fifty Naira which was hers and put it inside her own wallet. She immediately served the food and take it to the man who was waiting patiently.

30 MINUTES LATER

A black car was packed on the left side of the road, closed to a clubhouse. Two men were sitting on the front sits as they put on Hood sweaters. Their gazes were fixed on the entrance of the Alisa's Eatery House...and it was a surprising thing to see the man occupying the driver sit with a pistol. It seems these guys are bad thugs!

"What the fuck is still delaying the motherfucker to come out from that place!" One of them said in an American tongue.

"Hey cool down! Let's just wait for him to come out!" The other man replied to him.

Just immediately, the man who requested for a plate of white rice and stew source quickly walked out of the Eatery. He walked to the side of the eatery where his car was packed...a white Lexus.

"Hey! He is out! Is time to end up an ass life!" the thug said to the one driving the car. He brought out his pistol from his pocket and point it at the man who was standing closed to his car.

The man was about entering his car when the gun shut was heard from the thug's car, the bullet rushed in great speed and PUM!! It invades the man's forehead and with a blink of an eye the man fell on the floor dead.

The thugs started their car and drove off as people gathered around to see what just happened. The man was on the pool of his blood and the thugs were nowhere to be found.

The people around were murmuring and were confused to the sudden headshot!

So immediately, the Cops has been alerted, and they were seen approaching the scene. The sounds of the corps's vehicles could be heard loudly as it feels the air and travelled miles. Three cars arrived and halted in front of everyone, then twelve Cops banged outside and approached the dead man, and it was a surprising thing to see such attack in an open area.

"How did it happen?!!" The leader of the cops asked the people around, but some were ignorant to his questions, while some try to speak, but they were interrupted by his loud yell, "How did it happen? Am I not asking a question?" He yelled.

"Sorry! We no...noticed the gun shut came out from a b...b...black car that was packed here, but they immediately drove away!" A lady explained, panicking in fear!

"What car?" The Cop asked.

"A black Camry car, I saw two men on hoods sweater inside it!"

"Okay fine!" the Cop said and took his cell phone from his pocket, then he typed some buttons and placed it at his ear "Hello...yes we just got information about the gunshots.........pls stop any black Camry you find on your way, and if the people in it are putting on Hood sweater bring them here!" He said "yeah! Please do....." he added [hanged up!]

ANOTHER ASPHALT

The black Camry car was seen driving along in great speed and without care, they could knock someone down. Their speed increased more and more, but it finally slows down when they met a Police car approaching them with a howling sound.

"The Cops!" The thugs screamed and turned to the left side of the asphalt, going to another direction. The cops also followed suit, and they immediately increased their speed, which actually cut short the distance between them to the thugs.

"That must be them!" one of the cops said.

They were getting close to the thugs time by time, and after some times... They were closed. The driver quickly rotated the steering to the right side, and it controlled the car to smash the thugs' car, while the thugs tried to shoot the police, but they missed. The smashing happened again and again until the driver of the thugs' car miss his controlled which made their cars to rushed into an apartment building and crashed inside.

The car was now emerging flames and any moment it may explode, so the thugs quickly jumped outside and endeavor to run with their legs, but the cops came out of their cars and chased them immediately. In a couple of minutes, the thugs were caught up, and were handcuffed.

"You guys are so going to be dealt with!" one of the cops said.

The cops pulled the thugs with them and throw them into their car, they also entered and drove off.

UNKNOWN PLACE

In a large bushy area, a long round bricks house was put in view, it wasn't painted, and the roof were tattered. Grasses grew on the house, even inside the house. This place is just having a view of a forest, but it wasn't like a forest.

Inside the Bricks House, a young man cladding in black jacket, a white shirt inner, a white jean as he wore it in a saggy manner, revealing his boxers, He wore a pair of big black short boots, and was having the look of a thug as he accompanied his dresses with a black face cap, facing it front backward.

This man sat on a long Stone and was smoking some cigarettes step by step. Yeah! He was the boy of 17 years old who got killed by some thugs when him and his father were taking a stroll on a lonely and quiet road. His name is Oscar. And wait...what the fuck is he doing here? How did he also become a thug? Well, out of confusion and anger, he decided to payback by being a thug!

"My mission might have been completed! And I'll be glad to see Steve dead!" Oscar said with a smile, "After taking my father away from me, he thinks I will forgive him" he added and tilted his head down, he started weeping. "It was a really astonishing moment for me, I saw the bullet driving into my father's head, and I just stared at him as his life was taking away from this fucking world!" Oscar has released numerous tears, and he decided to end it up. He cleaned his face with his handkerchief and took a stick of cigarette from its pack, He light it up and started smoking it greedily...
