When we were done with tea, Mika held me close to keep me warm,till I dowsed off to sleep. Hours passed by,the wind was no longer strong as before. Mika and Mr Phenyo were no longer there with me,it seemed they had left me there on my own.i looked at the time."eleven pm!" I said. I wore an extra jacket on top,then took a gun with me. Mr Phenyo and Mika had left pieces of red fabric onto the small tree sticks,in a perfect alignment so that I could find my way to them. And vise versa. As I was climbing higher on the Hex river mountain,i began to hear the sound of drums. The noise became intense as I climbed even higher. There were chantings, and allulating sounds. A few rocks fell all the way to the bottom, so I stopped moving and remain still for a few minutes. I felt tempted to look down but I knew it was risky. I continued to climb up high. Taking careful steps upwards. Hoping that I would not fall.
I suddenly heard Mika's voice."Leave her alone!" He shouted.
Then I had a dream about him. In this dream it was morning, I was meeting with Mr Phenyo, he was pleased to have been invited by my father. He called it an honour, i almost laughed. Mika and I observed the case files we had received that very morning.I returned back to the office as Mr Phenyo had requested I meet with him with regards to the memorial service, while Mika left to meet with his secret date once again.“Miss Mokoena I’m glad you came. You can sit over there”.I looked up at the clock.“13:45”“Time has passed, let’s not waste the little time left” he said.Mr Phenyo opened his red BMW X5 car,I sat on the chair facing him, I could smell the mahogany wood on his table, it looked new. Mr Phenyo stood at the other end of his desk..keeping his gaze fixed upon me.“A flower requires light in order for it to sprout. I want to be that light” said Mr Phenyo.“What are you saying sir?”
My father introduced me to Byron,we exchanged greetings as was the usual habit."How is Cathy?" My father asked.Cathy was Byron's mother."She is not well. She is suffering from breast cancer. I told you the last time we spoke on the phone, remember?"My father paused for a while."I must have forgotten,my age. I'm getting old.""Is everything alright oom?" Byron askedMy father nodded. I sat there in silence. I knew he was lying."What brings you to Capetown?"Byron smiled."Work." He answered."What kind of work? I hope you're not abducting women and locking them inside your house and taming them to be your wives!" My father said jokingly.Byron chuckled."No nothing like that. I am doing some medical research. I will be flying to Soweto tomorrow and continue with my work there,when I'm done I will be returning back to the USA." Byron explained."Uncle Frans wou
I checked my phone and saw a text message that had come from Mika. “lets meet at the cafeteria, now if your free. I will get you a free soda drink.” the message said.“Mika wants to meet, I will see you later.” I said.“Can I come with you.”I couldn’t say no to my partner. Or rather should I say a very extremely handsome, tall, fair skin, charming partner. Whoa! He was my new crush, but I hadn’t felt it yet. I only had feelings for Mr Phenyo.I found Mika,sitting on his own with two cans of soda drink and of course a plate with pancakes and sunnyside up eggs.“i said come alone.” said Mika“actually you didn’t but here I am now, what is this about?”“Take a sit first.”Sam and I sat on our chairs.“I want to work with you. I know that you have a new partner and everything but I still want to work with you.” said MikaSam chuckled.“And what about Katleho?she is your part
We entered quickly after dimming the back camera.I took the sign in register,I would need it later to distract the security guard. Mika entered the HR manager’s office normally,the receptionist was not even startled by Mika’s presence as she was already called by an anonymous professional agent aka me to expect his arrival as the usual HR manager is feeling unwell from food poisoning. Then Katlego entered into the office,I went to the store room trying to find enrollment papers of John Dewald. Katlego filled in the job application papers,attached a resume with fake qualifications on it. Mika stamped the paper with the large,red inked words “hired” and faxed them to the principal,who then replied with an email to Katlego.“You start tomorrow morning at 8am.”“She got in”Mika whispered.“Where’s Lebo?” asked Sam.“I got them,let’s go” I said.I left the sign in register at the receptionist table and asked that she inform the principal about
When nightfall came Tony was all ready. The shipment was to take place at the Capetown International Airport. The team and I were standing by,waiting to see sudden motion. An Italian looking man wearing a black jacket carried a case with him,he put it near Tony.“Where’s the cash?” he said.The man looked at Tony for a while then took out his gun,he began to shoot. The people screamed,security guards ran to where the gun was fired. Mika and Katleho took separate routes to follow the Italian,I grabbed Tony who was shot in the stomach, fortunately he had a bulletproof vest on. Sam kept on giving directions on where to go. He was our guide.“Am I going to die”Tony asked.“Not if you go with us” I replied. Then drove him to the safe house.“I need to help my team,they need me.”I shouted“No their fine.Keep an eye on the prisoner,as he is our only witness.” Sam replied.“We found him!” Mika yelled on the a
When a child is born he or she is given a name by their parent or family relative. Each name has its own significance,it can either inspire or demotivate the child as they grow. When the child grows,he or she will receive a nickname from fellow peers.I was only 9 years old when I met the Juma freak Nduna . I was in the fourth grade,he was in the seventh grade,the oldest in his class, not because he was a slow learner but because he was enrolled late to school,very late and I still don’t know why. All the children feared him. He was tall, muscular with strong, huge gigantic hands that could put a child down with one slap. When I reached high school he was already in grade 12. He had turned into a real freak. His face was covered in piercings,his dreadlocks were long and dyed in orange. During lunch time he would sit with his girlfriend Dintle Sepheo,who was also in the same class as him. The two were inseparable and wicked. One Saturday night,my mother was working an extra shift,
“There was a point in time where I thought your mother Patricia was the only woman I could ever love,until I..”“What? Tell me!!”I shouted.“Lebo it was a mistake, I made a mistake marrying your mother!”“Huh why would you say such a thing?”I asked.“because your mother deserves a wonderful man, someone better than me. I had an affair with your aunt, whilst I was married to your mother and I never stopped loving her.That’s what made me leave.i couldn’t live with the guilt it was too much..i am sorry you had to find out this way..my child..I”“Save it!! How could you do this? Did you even love my mother?ugh!!” I shouted in anger.My father tried to explain but his insanity rose again,he laughed hilariously. I rushed to my room and began to pack all of my clothing. My cellphone was ringing in the kitchen table,I heard it but I didn’t want to answer it.I kept packing,tears falling down,my heart sinking from pain. I had no reason to
“from today you will stay under my protection until this man is captured. I can’t lose you.”“But I have a life,I have a…” I nearly said a boyfriend. But I chose to continue with the investigation. The following day we went to the GOH site to give Mr Phenyo an update on the case.“Very impressive.” Said Mr Phenyo, going through the updated details we had given him regarding the case.“With all due respect sir, but that is not impressive at all. The Freak played us, he knew where we would be and turned us into complete fools. He just knew how to beat us and now we don’t have him, we have nothing!” I voiced out.“But your planning is impressive. And now all you have to do is find him.”Suddenly Sheila entered.“Excuse me, but sir you need to see this.” she said, showing Mr Phenyo a live video on her phone.“Whats going on?” Mika asked.“Apparently, Mr Livingstone and his family have been murdered last night in their hom
