Ch. 30GET ME OUT OF HERE


This is nonsense, this is nonsense, this is nonsense, I want to believe that this is not happening. His wife was already on the ground crying and shouting uncontrollably while the maids tried to calm her down.

I know that failure,I said that Hon Dennis must be the one engineering this thing. Dennis I will deal with you, I am coming for you and I am coming for every single thing that you have… He dip his hand into his pocket and bring out his phone to call him…Now listen to me you bastard, I know we have been beefing on each other for long but at this time don't start what you can't finish, If by this time tomorrow you didn't tell your boys to release my son then I will have know option then to unleash violence on you. Senator Benard threatened.

Obviously you are losing it, I thought you were mad. I don't know you are cursed too. As for the reason for that empty threat, little boy I don't know what you are talking about. ( He ended the call in most annoying manner when senator Benard was about to reply)

You see he's responsible for my son's kidnap. But honey this is our son's life we are talking about, Our only child. Why not renounce your interest, you know you can always contest next tenure again please I don't want anything to happen to Jeff.

I am not stepping down nor am I renouncing anything. Moreover you know how I have been waiting for this opportunity. The party has really endorsed me or can't you remember what happened during the primary?
I need this, we need it and am going for it. Nothing will happen to our son, trust me.

Honey, am I scared besides How are you going to face Hon Dennis?
You know how private and cunning that man is. She asked with fear written all over her.

Woman you worry too much. Remember this is Senator Benard. I am the lion, Hon Dennis is a prey.

Hon Dennis in his sitting room, having a lot of thoughts going through his head. Senator Benard is not a coward and he doesn't give empty..He went on
That idiot is just too stubborn, how on earth am I going to win this governorship election when I am having him as my opponent. What am I going to do now?

Jeff, still in the custody of the kidnappers, all his effort to make them see reasons with him has not been yielding any fruit. His chance of escape is very faint because the room where they lock him has know window, just a small door with a heavy lock. For days now he hasn't been feeding well all he needed is to go home yet the chance kept eluding him.

Meanwhile senator Benard and his wife and the police have been working tirelessly to grantify Jeff's release.
The Senator now remembers that there was a time he attended Hon Dennis' daughter's birthday when he returned from the United kingdom.
He called three of his men and equipped them. He described the location and sent them to go and fetch her. Few minutes later, The kidnappers Called again.

“Oga I can see you are stubborn we haven't seen or hear anything or do you think we ai playing here”
Gentleman I understand I am sorry you know it is not an easy decision. It will require meetings and documents to be signed before it can be done. Please bear with me as I am working on it. Senator pleaded in lies.

Anything you are doing, do it first now till the weekend and for your advice, don't try to do anything stupid because the consequence will be fatal. All the details and information about you are all in our table so you better don't try yourself..
( They hung up again)

The men Senator Benard sent to capture Hon Dennis' daughter are back. Their report is not pleasing to the senator.

“Boss, we didn't see her. We searched everywhere before someone directed us to her house, getting to the place we were told that she has traveled back to Canada.”
The above report made the senator to be downcasted, he felt that there's nothing he can do again to get Hon Dennis to come begging. But renouncing his interest is what he's not willing to do.
Countless times Jeff's brother has trouble him, warning him that if anything happens to Jeff she will never forgive him. Yet he is still adamant.

( His phone rings)

You coward, what do you want from me this time?

No you are the true definition of coward. So you sent your incompetent men to eliminate my daughter.
You see I have been calm with you all these while but I can see that you are taking me for granted, Now you will hear the other side of me. Hon Dennis threatened.

Hey make sure nothing happened to my son ( he was still yelling over the phone when hon Dennis end the call)

This is becoming more serious and severe to me, yet the police are not doing anything reasonable concerning the matter.
He complained and complained until he got to a point where he sat down and began to think deep again.

The news about Jeff's kidnapping is spreading all-over like a wide fire, some pray for his release while others think that that's what he deserves.

Jeff fades over the whole thing, it is time for his lunch, white rice and Stew was presented to him for lunch. He looked so miserable and devastated, he grabbed the man's hand then he went on…

You know you can get me out of this place, trust me I am willing to change your life just name your price. Jeff said to him, still holding his hand.

And what makes you think what you have to offer can change my mind?

Because I am willing to offer something huge, how about two million?

( At the mentioned of three million, his mind is changing already beside is indeed a big offer to compromise)

I will help you if you can offer four million because I'm the only one with you now. I can easily allow you to go freely before my leader returns.
Jeff accepted the four million naira.
(He went to bring Jeff's phone, he inserted his sim card and gave it to him to send the money..few minutes later he received the alert of four million naira)

Correct guy, he said to Jeff smiling.

Now that you have received it, can I go please release me? Jeff said in a low and helpless tone.

Calm down okay.( He unlock the chain in his leg and hand, Jeff take time to stretch his body)
This is not time for this now, just run as fast as you can because they are approaching. Jeff hurriedly put on his shoes as he began to run to where his car was.

Few minutes later the leader arrived. Where is the senator's son?
he roared

He's gone, yes he's gone. He said, stammering.
What do you mean he's gone?
Do you know the meaning of what you are saying?

He brought out a pistol gun and threatened to kill me if I didn't let him go…he replied as he lied.
Bulshit, you are speaking rubbish. How do you expect me to explain this to Hon?
We searched for this man, he has a gun. Why are you telling me about guns now?

Exactly my thought. He has a gun but how he managed to bring out the pistol is what amazes me..he said in fear.

This is ridiculous. So how are you going to make up for this?
( He brought out his gun)

Please don't kill me please it is not my fault.

Am sorry I have to because that's what you deserve. He was about to pull the trigger when a police officer shot him twice. The other two guys surrounded themselves and the police officers handcuffed them and dragged them into their boots.

Senator Benard and his wife couldn't stop dancing when they saw Jeff unharmed with the police officers.

I am a lion and a lion gives birth to his kind. Am proud of you son you are indeed the son of a lion..(he grabbed Jeff's hand as he shook him and embraced him tightly.)..

God is in my house ooh . Hon Florence danced and she later dragged Jeff and her husband inside for Jeff to narrate to them how it all happened.
