End of a Giant
“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

Resurrection
I always disliked anything that related to spiritualism. It frightened me somehow. My mother believed that spirits existed, she would tell me that while some were evil, some were good. “Pray very hard before you sleep and don’t light a matchstick in the presence of a ghost it will slap you hard.” she would say.I thought my mother was only trying to scare me and indeed she did manage to scare me. Such stories played a big role in how I thought as a child. I was afraid of being alone. I spend most of my time surrounded by people, I did anything to avoid seeing or hearing a ghost or a spirit. When I became older I enjoyed my lone life, it was peaceful. I did not want anyone to bother me and my fear of ghosts had disappeared. I felt brave.  “Hey” said Sam, giving me a wink while taking a sit beside me at the cafeteria.He knew how to cheer me up.i liked that. “Hello. Where’s the rest of the team?&rdquo

Her obsession
Sam and I went to Veronica’s home.  She was at the lounge, taking small sips of her coffee. Eyes were without makeup, she looked like nothing on Television. Her eyes had bags under them, her wrinkles were visible.We cant underestimate makeup artists, they really do work hard. The time and the effort they put in to ensure that our lovely hosts look ten years younger than they actually are is a true work of art. Veronica must startled to see us. “How did you get into my house?!” she shouted“Relax, we wont hurt you. We actually need your help.” I said “You still haven’t answered my question!” “the door was wide open, anyone could have come in. Fortunately we are not the bad guys. We wont harm you.” said Sam. Suddenly Katleho and Mika also entered, they were accompanied by Xoliswa. “Are you also with them?” Veronica asked.

Offspring
 When I was still 9, I used to ask my mother to buy me candy whenever she went out. I didn’t really pay attention to her where she was going but I knew that she would be back with the candy. She would always yell at me for touching my clothes because that is what I would often do whenever I had finished eating. I irritated my mother a lot and I guess that is a part of being a child. And no matter how often we annoy our parent's, they continuously show us love.“Miss Mokoena!” Mr Phenyo shouted. I almost got a heart attack. “Sir?” “The GOH is improving on security, each agent must go to the control room to have their data recaptured. Make sure that you go there as soon as possible." Mr Phenyo instructed. “Thank you Sir. I will do that right away."  “Go to the Lab. Ben will assist you” Mr Phenyo said,walking towards his office. I was surprised to see that he c

Man in black
Mika and I asked to see the footage of that entire night. The head of security fortunately still had it. No one had stolen the evidence. We looked over the footage, repeatedly but still found nothing. “This is not helpful. Mrs Caseem must know something.” I said. “We should abduct her, that way she’ll tell us what we need to know.” Mika suggested. But stealing her would be dangerous, we needed her to survive,we needed a doctor to keep her alive. “But what if she dies suddenly,we are not doctors.” I said. “What about the doctor that was treating your father?” “Doctor Simmons! But can she be trusted?" I wondered."We can check her credentials. Know anyone who can help us quickly?"I contacted Mr Phenyo right away. “Sir I need your help!” “Speak!” Mr Phenyo replied. “Can you please check if

Old beliefs
“Fine! My name is Paul. I am part of the Sevens Brothers, I just recently joined. I was given my first mission to steal a baby with eight legs. And don’t ask who,because that’s all I was told.” The Sevens Brothers again! How many are they and why cant we seem to find them?” Mika shouted angrily. “The Sevens Brother’s are everywhere. You cant find them, but they will find you. New members have to wear a mask until they complete their first mission. That is why I don’t know their place.” “Then you are not useful at all to us.Let’s kill him.” said Mika. Grabbing the thief by the neck. “No! Tell us more,we need more.” The thief was gagging for air,trying to speak. “Let him go”. “The man who sent me told me its a favour for his doctor friend.I didn’t bother asking much,because that’s not what we real

Marked
In my junior year of highschool, I developed a liking for tatooes, they attracted me somehow. Some of the girls in my class had ones made on their bodies. Butterflies, dragons, snakes and even faces of popular people. I loved tatooes, but my mother didn’t. She believed that tatooes attracted evil spirits.so I forgot the entire tatoo idea, trying to be an obedient child. Instead of doing tatooes I chose to paint another way of releasing the things I felt inside of me. “Miss Mokoena, Mr Ludik, come in I have been expecting you.” said Mr Phenyo.Mika and I sat down.“I came for the file, I have been told about a new case,involving tatooes.” I said.Mr Phenyo smiled, he brought with him a two files then handed it over to each of us.  “When you are in this line of work, you don’t always have to be secretive, speak to someone, be open don’t use people without their knowledge, it only puts you in gre

At the Steakhouse Diner.. “Welcome, would you like a menu?” asked one of the waiters. “Coffee will do.” I replied. “And what about you sir?”Mika observed the menu,as well as Katleho. They both seemed indecisive about what to order. “Give me a T-bone steak with chips. Said Mika. “Oh my word,seriously” I said. "What? I eat when I'm anxious." Katleho also ordered the same meal as Mika's." “Sir, can you also call the manager while you’re at it. We need his help its urgent!” I said. The manager arrived quicker than expected. A fine looking manager she was. With her perfectly tailored jacket, green in colour, matching with the theme of the restaurant. She and my mother would get along perfectly. The green team would be their new nickname. “Good afternoon. I am Lira, the manager you called. What

Part of the team
.My mother had her evening dress on, she looked amazing. “wow mom you look really hot in that dress!” I said, teasing. “I am 50 year old woman, I am supposed to look hot.” she laughed. I weared my usual clothes, but my mother made me change them, she chose a red laced dress,then cut in on the legs, to make it shorter,she quickly sewed a red silouhette on the top of the breast part making it look fashionable. I was impressed. She was not bad at fashion after all but I chose better jackets. Like father, like daughter. Sam showed up at the right time. He was wearing a red T-shirt, and blue jeans, his hair was perfect, it reminded me of superman. We exchanged greetings.My mother was smiling, I guess she was impressed. “So what do you for a living Sam?” my mother asked, with an intimidating look in her eyes. “I am an IT specialist.” he did not even blink, but I did. My heart was pouding really fast. “how much do you make

Trapped
A mirror gives of a reflection of who we are, it can also be used to help remind us of who we trully are. Like the song “Man in the mirror” by Michael Jackson we do need to take a look at ourselves first, change how we treat others first before expecting others to treat us well. That’s my understanding of the song. But there are many other ways to interpret its meaning.  “Wow! Mom this looks delicious. Can I have a taste” I asked. The table was neatly covered with white linen, purple grapes overfilled the salad bowl,the cockery and cutlery carefully arranged in just the correct sequence. The kind of formal look you would see in expensive formal restaurant’s and five star hotels.“Leave those grapes alone. We will eat them when our guest arrives.” said Patricia, giving me a tap on the hand. “What guest?” I asked. “Don’t tell me you are throwing a party!”
