Chapter 25 - ALL IN ONE NIGHT2

Moonfleks and his two room partners, were all on bed sleeping, as the door was opened from outside, two men sneaked in, try not to make a sound, 

"that should be him, right?, said the short one, pointing at a slim man. The tall one smacked him on the head.

"Shi, lower your voice, you talk way too loud, said the tall one trying to recognize Moonfleks face.

"don't you ever smack me again, how do you expect a short man like me, to speak to you without shouting, said the short man. As they came to Moonfleks, he took a clear look at him.

"this must be him, "shorty, hand over the handkerchief, said the tall man, stretching his hand forward to the short man, who was behind him. The short man carefully dipped his hand into his pocket, bringing out the handkerchief, immediately he felt a squashing itch in his nose, as he covered his nose with the handkerchief, sneezing into it.

"Oh! Yeah, I feel good now, you may have it, said shorty, handing over the handkerchief.

"haa, what is your problem?, the tall man asked him, looking at him with a worried face.

"What?, shorty questioned, (hard thud to the ground, shorty slept off, snoring), he snatch the handkerchief from shorty's hand.

"oh! What a foolish world I found my self, heavens look at this mess, I'll have to use it like that, the tall man thought, covering Moonfleks nose with the handkerchief.

Immediately Moonfleks woke up, struggling as he sat down, still struggling with the tall guy, 

"you stubborn thing just stay still, let me finish my job here, said the tall guy, he held the handkerchief tight, Moonfleks tried so hard to remove the handkerchief, as he began to feel so sleepy, that he fell back to the bed, sleeping off, 

"what a stubborn fellow, said tall man relaxing his waist, 

"ooh no, look at this short fool, sleeping so happily, oh.. man..

He carried Moonfleks down, dragging both of them on the floor, "ha, I didn't sign up for this, they're so.. heavy.

Mr. Moonfleks was tied up to a chair. The door slam open and a foot step approached, the man dropped some cash into the tall man's hand, he quickly pocketed the money, splashing a bow of water on Moonfleks face, (Heavy gasp, as he began to cough). The man walked across the light which was pointing down on Moonfleks, dropping a Bluetooth speaker on the table,(Moonfleks still coughing, foot step dismissing, as the door closed). 

"hello brother, said Valentine, switching on the Bluetooth speaker,(low tone playing) he pulled off the material used to tire Moonfleks's mouth.

"I will like to hear you speak today,(Moonfleks coughed, clearing his throat), Ooh brother don't worry I'm not here to bit you up, said Valentine smiling. Moonfleks kept on looking at Valentine not saying a word.

"ok brother how about some opera, said Valentine increasing the volume of the classical opera music. 

Oliver poured out all the bullet in his gun, caring an empty gun, Alex just stood watch,

"oh boy, don't be a fool, Alex thought.

"hey boy, What do you think you are doing, and where did you get that gun from?, Alex asked Oliver.

"well it's a family history gun, from my father to me, but look today shouldn't be all about my gun, look I'll go meet those guys right now, drawing their attention, while you wait for me, behind the truck, said Oliver leaving, Alex quickly drew him back.

"look among those guys over there, I think one of them must been Stephen, his a worker under Moonfleks, but then how do we get the key to the truck?, Alex asked.

"Oh! That, thanks for reminding me, I will take care of it, so now let's go, we got something doing, said Oliver leaving, as Alex pulled him back.

"what now?, Oliver questioned.

"you are too young, let me do it, said Alex.

"No I got this, said Oliver leaving.

Oliver came standing in front of them all. As the two men were prepared to fair.

"any more step we'll shoot, what are you looking for here, said one of Valentine's men.

"Hey, short up, what do you all think you are doing, said Oliver as all the gun was pointed at him.

"hey don't underestimate me, who the hell is Stephen here, said Olive.

They all looked at Stephen, "Bro do you know this guy, one of them asked Stephen, Oliver bravely walked up to Stephen, handing his gun over to Stephen, "now shoot me, Oliver requested. 

"Oh this guy can be stupid, I hope he knows what be fall him, they'll just shoot him instead, said Alex, sneaking beside a car.

"Come on shoot me, I know you can, stop ignoring my speech, show me you can do it bloody serpent, shoot me right here, right here, on my heart, come on, said Oliver holding the guys gun pointing it on his chest, as he let go off it, bouncing right in front of the gun. Valentine men began to laugh.

"you see, you can't do it, said Oliver collecting his empty gun back.

"I don't know how long it will take you all to learn, you all are just bunch of rats in a caged room, you look into my eyes, as you can see my brother doesn't have manners, he'll just kill you all, when his down using.. hey! Young man lower your gun, a real man is making a speech here, said Oliver watching. A sight of confusion drops liquid in the man's eyes, blinking, his mind remained blank knowing weather dropping the gun or lowing it will be the best option, looking at his fellow men,  he began to urinate on his body, (surprise gasp) they all looked down including himself was shock, 

"oh no did he just urinate… on his body, They all laughed as the man lowered his gun with shame.

"what a scared church mouse, said Oliver as one of them bust into laughter again, 

"Yeah keep on laughing at him, what a pity, he was just born to be a fool, (Valentine men kept on laughing), Oliver came closer, to the muscular guy, looking at him eye to eye, "short up what's funny, look at you.. blown up, but no wisdom, I can't sit back and watch you, been maltreated by Valentine, said Oliver snuffing the key out of the guys pocket, "tell me all this money, you all got for him, would he like to share it with you?, Oliver questioned them all, Stephen kept on looking at Oliver.

"could he be a servant of Moonfleks, no that can't be possible, Moonfleks never played a dangerous move using a young youth hmmm, Stephen thought.

"how about I give you all a huge amount of money and you will lie to Valentine that you were mobbed, said Oliver.

"every one this guy, has a lot of wisdom in him, we can't keep on helping Valentine to do some dirty job and collect little change at the end of the month, but we can take ours now, to feed our family, pay house rent, also pay hospital bill, and we will still have chances in our pocket, said Stephen.

"We are together bro, they all said.

"Moonfleks, Oliver stylishly whispered to Stephen.

  "but he won't believe us, said one of the men, Oliver walked to him tapping him on the shoulder.

"calm down man, there is a solution, what you all need is to bit up each other, and then he will clearly believe you, said Oliver.

"yes his right, let's do it, said Stephen.

"but wait, (Oliver interrupted), you all have to collect a bunch of money to share, you Ste… (Oliver realized he was about to blow his cover he coughed clearing his throat), you carry a bunch, then you all can start fighting, he said, as Stephen went into the truck caring a huge bunch of money, all the men rejoiced, as they began to punch, and beat each other.

Oliver laughed in his mind, "this was so easy, a peace of shite, he thought giving Stephen a wink for helping out.

Alex collected the key, as Oliver closed the back of the truck, rushing into the truck, he quickly fastened his sit belt.

"Yeah we did it, said Oliver, raising his hand for high five, Alex ignored him starting the car, as they drove off, Valentine men kept on beating themselves, till a point of bleeding.

"ok everyone stop its time to share the money, said Stephen, scared that they might kill each other in the process, the men stopped arranging their selves on a straight line.

"you call Ogbolo tell him that we're mobbed and bitten up, by a bunch of military men, said Stephen after giving the guy his share.

Ogbolo phone rang, he quickly picked it, "hello Ogbolo we've a problem.

Old Mrs Gift got down stirs with Rose still crying on her arms, "Shi, don't cry my granddaughter, Granma loves you so much" Old Mrs Gift told her, little Rose sniffs in "but what of mummy? She's bleeding" "I know, I know, that's why I'm taking you along so we can call a doctor, said Mrs Gift, "ok hurry up Granma, we mustn't let my mummy die.. and I'll be quiet" Rose told her, Old Mrs Gift smiled "that's my granddaughter, be on your best behavior ok" Rose nodded, "good now let's go" in a hurry Old Mrs Gift tries to open up the door but seems locked, (surprise gasp) "huh, what's going on" she dropped Rose pulling and turning the door handle.  "Granma is everything alright, I can't let my mummy die" Rose began to cry, Old Mrs Gift quickly looked through the window seeing not a single soul, she bent to Rose cleaning off her tears, "Shi, Shi, don't cry, everything is going to be alright" "but my mummy" said Rose with her eyes dripping of tears, "no, no come on.. do you remember what you promised me? Old Mrs Gift asked her "no crying, she replied "good, now I'll have to look for our way out" Old Mrs Gift smiled "to save your mummy. Old Mrs Gift got up looking at the window (shaky emotional breath) "good, good Idea" she thought rushing to the dining table, she grabbed a chair in a hurry to the window (shaky breath), Old Mrs Gift suddenly stopped when her eyes sighted the fire extinguisher, she smiled. Rose stood watching her Granma throw the chair and pulled the fire extinguisher from the wall, (grunt, glass shatters) Old Mrs Gift cleans her sweat off using her cloth, she smile "now let's go" only to open her eyes and found Rose gone, looking around "Rose, Rose" fear hunts for Mrs Gift, surely with her darkest moment, (laughter echoed) her metal mind which seems manipulated by the deadly laughter, closing her both ears made her realize her fear "Rose, please come back" Old Mrs Gift breathing heavily. Touching the walls in the dimmed room, as she carefully takes her step (shape pain, grunt out of speak) Old Mrs Gift drops to the ground, "there you go" said Doc Kalos pulling off his surgical glove, "for now don't be bothered, she won't act wild"  "ok this lady scares me a lot" Priyanka told Doc Kalos looking at Old Mrs Gift sleeping calmly on the ground, they both went to the dining table, "I hope you're taking video tape of every single thing she does? Doc Kalos asked opening his side bag, both characters not having idea of Old Mrs Gift eye's opened.  "yes of cause the whole house is... the drug began to take charge over Mrs Gift "there you must make… (sparkles of light, noisy sounds) she drinks it… (sight went dark, shape noise) Old Mrs Gift slept off.

Door slam open in full force, hitting against the wall, as Valentine turned wandering who it was, only for Ogbolo to rush to him falling on his kneels, at this point Valentine's face was empowered by fear, as Moonfleks waits to hear the message.

"don't spit it out, come closer" Valentine wondered looking worried, as Ogbolo slowly stood up walking closer to him, he whispered into Valentine's ear.

"Haaa, Valentine shouted in anger, throwing everything with the table to the floor (classic music playing), Valentine breathed heavily as his facial face showed a sharp look, immediately he faced his brother, he rushed to him, grabbing him by the collar.

"tell me.. who helped you? (shaky emotional breath, swallowed by anger), don't you dear lie to me.. I bloody know everything.. someone must've been helping you" (shape fearful breathing, he gave a smile), oh! I now see you clearly.. surely foolishness stood by me, you didn't bother.. answering my words" Valentine giving Moonfleks a hurt slap on the face at that moment, he nearly fell down, Ogbolo quickly got up to help, but Valentine tried to maintain his stamina. Ahhh, Valentine shouted in anger as if he was ready to pour everything out, immediately he turned to his brother, quickly picked an rod filled with tons of shape metal on the body, he began to hit Moonfleks brutally(opera classic music playing, as Moonfleks kept on screaming out pain).

19,68 last memories of Zim 

"doctor Will he be ok?, Mr. Frederick asked, walking out with the doctor.

"yes he will be, said the doctor smiling.

"excuse me doctor, (the doctor stopped), is there any way his memories, can be erased?, Mr Frederick asked.

"yes there is a way, but why do you want to erase his memories, said the doctor, standing with a worried face.

"this little boy has really gone though a lot, and I don't want him to keep on going through those pains, so I want to adopt him, said Mr Frederick.

"adopting is a good choice, but erasing the memories of a child, hmm.. that won't be good, but since that's what you want, I'll do it, said doctor.

"Thank you doctor, said Mr Frederick.

"you welcome, have a nice day Mr Frederick" foot step dismissed.
