Events that had taken place seemed unreal. I did not know what to believe. Was I in a dream, or could it be possible that my father and his buddy were performing witchcraft? And if indeed that was true, would I still want to bond with this man? Or would I have to return back to Joburg and remove my father from all of my thoughts as if he had never existed? I wondered.
“Can you tell me what just happened here,Ben was here one minute then he disappeared into thin air." I protested. My father cautiously took out a black and white striped handkerchief from the deep pocket of his blazer, wiped his glasses and put the handkerchief back to where it had been. Belinda brought with her, two cups of hot tea, my father could not hold himself. He grabbed the cup of tea and began to drink. With each sip, he bravely revealed his dark innermost thoughts. After all that was the only way I could ever trust him. He had to tell the truth.“Back when i was in my 20's i had you. Your mother and i were thrilled, but i was unemployed and i needed money to support my family. I joined a gang that was called Number twenty six. I was able to make quick cash selling drug’s, but still the money was not enough and I despised working for thugs. I told the gang leader i wanted to quit and he didn’t like that saying very much. They threatened to kill my family if i ever stopped working with them, I didn't give in to their threats, eventually they found my true home address. They set the house on fire. Fortunately your mother was visiting a family relative in Lesotho, while the incident was happening. I suffocated from the strong smoke, a firemen rescued me before the entire house collapsed. I went into total depression and had to be admitted in a hospital, that’s when i met Ben.He taught me everything i know and today I too have become a guardian." He paused for a while, then continued to speak.
"I work for an organization called the GOH,Guardians of the Hex. We fight all sort of bad, human and non human. We use advanced technology and combat to fight our enemies" he emphasized. Confusion struck me.I didn't know how to react. I felt proud of my father, I also felt angry at him for abandoning his family to save the world. As I lifted my gaze, I saw my father looking back at me, I smiled, hoping he could not see the anger within me as I was embarrassed to show my true feelings to people I hadn’t known that long.He didn't smile, he only gave me a hug.” I love you my child, please forgive me "he whispered." "I already did"My father closed the office door slowly. "Come with me" he said, leading me to a secret compartment, that was located behind the book shelves. The room was large and wide. 30 cm from the book shelves were three computers, the smallest, the medium sized and the largest one amongst the other two."I use the small computer to search the internet, I use the medium sized computer for all my forging activities in case I need to travel internationally. I use the largest computer to track any incoming threats that might cause harm to life on Earth such as Extra terrestrial beings and meteors. My father explained. Opposite the computer's was a cabinet filled with government files. Each file was placed orderly according to their number. “what are in these files?” I asked curiously.My father took one file, it had a number seven written on the top left corner, with the name Miranda Klaus on the centre. My father opened the file. It was evidence, showing the type of crime Miranda had done. There were horrifying images of children blindfolded, with bruises on their bodies. Other images showed children in military uniform, holding guns like little military personnel. “stop! please no more.. "I cried. My father closed the file and put it back to the cabinet where it had been placed before. " My job as a guardian is to ensure that evil people like Miranda never get to hurt anyone ever again. When we are done rescuing the victims, we give them counselling and take them back to their families. I’m no magic man, I only use advanced technology and combat to stop crime “My father explained.My father was not as evil as I had thought, he was a hero. I lengthened my stay, I too wanted to become a guardian, perhaps it was my purpose.“How do I join the GOH?”I inquired. “You don’t join, you get recruited.The response I received from my father didn’t satisfy my curiosity. Two weeks passed since my father had revealed his secret to me and yet I still longed to be a part of the GOH. A man by the name of Tebogo Phenyo arrived at my father’s house, He spent at least an hour in my father’s office, before sending Belinda to call for me to join them in their meeting. We exchanged greetings and I sat on one of the chairs. “Your father has told me good things about you, he has also told me of your interest in the GOH.I came here bearing good news. You have been offered placement at the GOH training program. The program will last for six months. If you finish your training there is a high possibility that you will get a chance to prove yourself whether you are worthy enough to be a guardian or not. What do you say? Do you accept the offer?” Mr Phenyo explained. My heart raced with excitement, my smiled said it all. “Yes I accept” I screamed. My father wished me good luck . He seemed genuinely happy for me.“Then you can call me Professor as I will be your mentor for the whole six months.” Mr Phenyo stated. I didn’t mind. As long as I was going to attend the GOH training program that was the only thing which mattered to me at that very moment.Professor Phenyo had an obvious charm to him, he was tall, dark and had great confidence, but there was one thing I disliked about him, he was a very secretive man which made me question his intentions. To prevent conflict I put my head down, but still remained weary.“I hope you know the reason for being here, I also hope you are willing to work together as being a part of this organisation requires individuals who are willing to work as a team, no one works alone, that is why the board has paired you all. “Mr Phenyo announced.All the initiates, including myself were each given a partner to work with. My partner was a serious looking, tall man by the name of Mika Ludik, who was originally from Moscow. The Russian man had effective skills in bomb making and weapon design, he previously worked in the Russian military for two years and had achieved approximately 100 kills within the two year duration in the military.“Why did you retire so early in the military?” I inq
Mika and I left the gym, were our combat lessons were taking place. We were both thirsty, we needed to quench our thirst, two to three glasses of water were enough to bring us back to life. “I didn’t know you could fight like that? “said Mika, wiping the sweat off his forehead.“Well what can I say? Growing up in the rough streets of Joburg. You eventually learn how to walk, talk and fight like all kids from the ghetto. I was once attacked by a group of innocent looking men. They wore classic blazers, you could swear they owned businesses as in large corporates.” I said.“They stole my white bag pack, which had all my important art books in it and the clothes on my body. I was left naked and ashamed. Just as u thought they were about to leave, one of the men decided that he wanted more, he grabbed me aggressively with his large hands, he pinned me to the to a corner and began to rape me, his buddies cheered him on while taking their turns
Ben and I drove to a private hospital in Capetown. The receptionist attended both Ben and me then led us to ward 9,Room C where my father was laying.“Oh my God, I thought I had lost you. What happened?” I cried.My father smiled, “I’m fine that’s all that matters, Can I speak to Ben alone please my darling it won’t be long”I protested inside my heart but I chose to respect my father’s wish. “You good old mate?” Ben asked.I walked out of the room, leaving the two men to their own privacy.15 minutes later Ben left my father’s room. He dared not to cry even though he had tears in his eyes.“Ben what’s wrong?” I ask curiously.“Nothing, Chris needs to rest, the nurse said he will get discharged tomorrow.”“Then I’m staying” I saidBen looked at me with pity.“ok then, I’m also staying, Chris is my closest friend and you have become like a daughter to me. I wont let you go through this alone. I am staying. No arguments”“Can I trust
“Hello skaat,you seem quite busy what are you working on?” he asked“There’s a church named the United Angels Of God church operating only with no physical branch. A couple of followers have claimed to have been filled with demonic spirit’s by the priest who says he will assist them by giving them miracle’s.” I said“I know that Church, the GOH has been investigating it”My father went to his office then returned with an investigative file against the church.“It says here that the church is led by three siblings whose names are Issac,Tony and Mashiah Kirwo”“Are they South African citizen’s?“Yes, but for now we don’t have enough information to close down the church just yet.” Said my father.“oh ok,can I help?”“No, It’s too risky, you need more training”My father would not allow me to take on any missions, this of course made me mad. I couldn’t stand being underestimated. I had to find a way to prove myself.I was expecting t
Mika and I attended the meeting at the GOH site.My father was there,his colleagues were there.Professor Phenyo was the host,as usual. “Intern’s I called you all here to talk about a new case that has come up,which might also be a chance for you to show how badly you want to become agent’s. You heard right I said becoming agent’s. You first have to become agent’s before you become guardian’s. An agent solves paranormal crime’s using technology alone but a guardian solves crimes using both technology and power’s which you will learn should you choose to become guardian’s. As you know there had been weird events occurring online. Many of our young people victims of an evil church called the United Angels of God Church and we believe a very dangerous woman by the name of Bella Santos is involved in this. Your job as the intern’s is to try and locate the people who are operating the church,while the Guardians work on finding Bella”Said.Professor Phenyo.“Thank you
“Everyone, I’m happy to announce that Miss Mokoena and Mr Ludik managed to find the leaders in charge of the running of the United Angels of God Church.Unfortunately one leader,Issac Kirwo was found murdered in a very gruesome manner. The remaining two will be released but kept under heavy surveillance by our Technical team.The church has been closed forever!We have also posted a facial sketch of the evil Bella Santos on social media two minutes ago,We hope to find her quicker this way and all of this couldn’t have been possible if it were not for Mr Ludik and Miss Mokoena!” the professor announced. “Let’s go and celebrate” Mika whispered .Pairing up with another person has proven to be more sufficient in improving productivity better than working alone. A partner is someone you need to rely on ,when you are are down,your partner needs to pull you up,when your partner is down you need to pull them up.My father had the same kind of relationship with Ben.Yo
My nose was itching,I felt goosebumps all over my body,I always felt like that whenever I was near Mr Phenyo but I wouldn’t admit to my true feelings,not even Mika knew how I felt even as I had grown fond of him enough to call him a friend.The day was well spent . After taking a hot bath,I sat on the couch with my father,feeling the warmth on my skin.“If I was not ignorant,I could have long rid of Belinda.said my father. Angrily,throwing his newspaper on the coffee table.“You don’t have to get yourself upset over that woman”“I gave that woman a room to stay in here in the house,She loved it and I was glad. One boring day,I sent her to the store to collect my white fured blazer from the dry cleaner.Whilst she was away I had planned to surprise her since it was her birthday.I had bought a cake,chocolate flavoured and a pot of roses,her favourite flowers. I slowly opened the door of the room,what I saw was shocking, odious sight.I saw a group of black gigantic fli
“You know what, I’m breaking up with her tonight.Lets go back to my place.i could use someone with experience”said Mika..As soon as the conversation had ended,Mika entered with the enemy.“Best time to make our move be alert”Mr Phenyo said.Mika walked towards me and pretended to whisper something in my ear. I acted my part and had to find a way to sob or look worried.Bella smiled crookedly,walking out with my partner and into her trap. As soon as she stepped outside,Mr Phenyo was on the doorway,he and Mika grabbed the woman to the SUV,while I helped tie her down with a rope,invented by Ben which could turn a tied person into a deep sleep.We drove to the GOH site and kept her in the interrogation room.But she looked familiar,she indeed was Belinda,even the scars were identical.When Bella woke up,Mika was there beside her to interrogate her.“oh sweetheart I thought you wanted me am I not hot enough for you boy!” she asked
