chapter 7 (MISSING NIYOLA III)

Fuck!!. Jones yelled punching the couch. that little witch sure have nine lives!.

what should we do now? Dale asked.

of course we would strike again. we have to give this hit to more capable hands. not those dimwits! if you had contracted their lives to the Middletown underworld gang by now she'd been dead but instead you gave some half baked hitmen! Jones retorted

"just shut the fuck up!" and let's map our second plan"

I suggest we should wait till that bitch Lola Brooke loosen up the security around her a little bit, Dale said.

that woman seems to be tough meat we can't track her down with out an insider who will give us information about her moves. Jones said.

" Tracking Lola is not a problem but getting her out of the way is, that bitch is very smart

Jones nodded in agreement

*******

two months later.

Niyola and Daniella had start homeschooling, and Desmond had just been admitted into badminton boarding school in the united kingdom

Lola returned home after a long day at work, welcome ma" the maid greeted her. she just nodded, "how's Daniella and niyola?"

"Daniella is fine ma. Niyola had been running temperature since morning but Franca has been attending to her in their room" the maid answered.

why's didn't Franca call my office line to inform me? she sprang up from the seat and started towards the kids room . she pushed the door open. Franca was placing wet towel on Niyola forehead.

welcome ma"

"Franca you should have called me" she said placing back of palm on Niyola forehead. she pulled out her cell phone dialing a number

Hello doctor Edwards, please come right away. she ordered and end the call

doctor Edwards walked into the room. he checked Niyola's temperature with his thermometer and gave some antibiotics and analgesic injections. after few minutes the temperature dramatically reduced and doctor Edwards set to leave " Mrs Brooke she's fine now I stop by tomorrow morning to give her to follow up the treatment".

thank you Edward, see you tomorrow then.

unknown to the doctor and Lola that Niyola had medical records of co-trimoxazole allergies.. about twelve am in the midnight the fever returned with higher temperature and it became difficult for Niyola to breath and red swollen patches on her chubby skin.

"Hannah listen to me y'all, if I find out that Niyola's food was poisoned I'd be very glad to commit a massacre! I will kill you all!" Lola kept ranting still dialling the doctor s telephone number. The whole mansion was in chaos all the maids were tensed.

Lola dialed Edwards number countless times but the call went straight to voicemail. she picked Niyola who now gasping for breath due to high temperature and rushed her to the hospital

*****

on the third day Niyola was discharged from the hospital. Lola had been on important business trip and travelled earlier that morning, and had told Franca and her driver to go and pick Niyola up from the hospital.

on their way home, Franca and Niyola had slept off on the back seat, the next minute a loud sound 'shuuuuu'... was heard from the back tire and deflated. Franca jerked up from sleep with panic.

" drive faster!! she screamed

the driver maneuvered and drove faster but couldn't outrun the attack. Franca pressed Niyola down and cover the little girl with her own body. "bang"bang" the sound of gunshot targeted at their car the next minute the driver was shot dead and the car was swerving off track.

Oh my God!! Franca yelled. Nini don't stand up, okay?.

Franca lean on the armrest and held the steering wheel while the dead driver leg were still on the accelerator. she kept turning the steering and gun bullets was still piercing through the shattered window into the car, little Niyola was dead scared and started crying.

****

at the same time the was launched on the car conveying Franca. Lola had just finished a meeting and was heading towards the car park when someone held her hostage and led her towards another car at gunpoint.

"please don't hurt me I have money just name your price" .

"you have a nice offer, but your life have been fully bought and fully paid, just say your last" prayer.

Lola broke down in hot tears " lord help me this last time" she muttered under her breath.

the assassin jerked the door open and pushed her out of the moving car with full force, before shooting her. she hit her head on the tarred road, her delicate skin scratched the hard tarred ground. she lay in the middle of the road lifeless luckily until a lorry carrying timber that was driving towards her the driver could vaguely see something like a human figure laying in the midst of the road, he stopped abruptly when he drove closer and alighted. he looked around to make sure it's not an ambush before picking Lola up and lay her comfortable into the passenger seat he tore some rags and tie on the bleeding spot to suppress the hemorrhage

*****

the car halted because the tires and Rims were beyond damaged and couldn't forward anymore. Franca looked back in the direction the other that was chasing them was but it seems their car was still far out of sight. she pulled Niyola up and kicked the bullet damaged door opened before bolting out of the car, she darted her gaze around luckily there was a parked vehicle at the far end of the saw a logistics bus packed on the roadside because the driver went to ease himself. she started towards the bus,

Franca sneaked hurriedly into the back of the Bus. "shhhh Niyola don't cry we are safe now, if you keep crying the driver will kick us out and the bad guys will kill us. Niyola kept her mouth shut.

the driver entered the bus and turn on the stereo to medium volume so Niyola sobs couldn't be heard by him.
