My Brother, the gangster Part 3

(Groupon Website) It was going to go wrong. I knew it would go wrong. It was obvious everything would go wrong. Why didn’t I say no? Why did I accept the job? Why didn’t I know it was a set up? Why? Why? Why? It was a cold Friday evening. Nobody would be around for miles except for a couple of guards, who were not well-armed. All we had to do was go in, get the cargo, and then get out. Simple and straight to the point. I was supposed to bypass the electrical alarm because of my knowledge of wiring cars. That is all I had to do. What happened next caught me completely unaware. We entered, tied up the guards who were too willing, as if they had been informed of our coming; I played with the wires and just like that four men were in the vault of the bank. I stood outside with the bags. As we were loading the bags of cash we heard a commotion outside. There was shouting, then shots were fired. “Come out with your hands up. This is the police. We have you surrounded.” ...

My brother, the gangster Part 2

(Pinterest Website) “Well, well. Look here. 10 years later he comes back. The man we used to call, ‘The Weasel’. A man who was so cunning that even if he was caught red handed, he would talk his way to freedom. I had a feeling you would come back, and I have a feeling I know why you’re here.” He stood there smiling. I couldn’t believe that we used to be best friends. Now, we each have different opinions and proceeded on different paths. He was calling me ‘The Weasel’ yet he was and is ‘The Jackal’. A ruthless conniving man who did not care or fear to get his hands dirty to get whatever he wanted. It was not going to be easy, but I knew what I had gone there to do. “Halo Francis.” “I’m sorry, no official names. You know my pseudo name.” “Yes, Mr. Jackal.” “Long time no see, Mr. Weasel. Have you come back to join us?” “No, not really.” “Pity. If you had stayed, you would have been at the helm of this empire. I still have respect for what you did for us,...

My Brother, the gangster

(Pinterest Website) I walked up to him. He seemed distressed about something. We normally keep to ourselves, but we always have each other’s backs when we are in trouble. There’s no way he was going to suffer alone as I watched. “Yoh bro, what’s wrong?” “Nothing much.” He tries to smile, but fails miserably. I keep looking at him waiting for him to break and tell me the truth. “Nothing is wrong, OK?” Pause. “OK, I got into some trouble with some guys, but I will sort it out.” He looks at me. I’m still waiting for him to finish. “OK, I got involved with some shylocks. I borrowed some money from them which I used all of it, but I forgot to pay, now they are asking me to join their gang to work off my debt, are you happy now?” “Of course I’m not happy. Why Tom? Why? Why couldn’t you just have asked money from me?” “I knew you were struggling with your business, I didn’t want to bother you.” “Really? Even if that was the case now look at the predicament you h...

Do your job

(Flekscale Website) It had been two weeks since the story. So much celebrations. The story had won a global award. He was still receiving gifts and praises from everywhere for his good job. Nevertheless, he was very uncomfortable. The memories of the day still haunted him, he could have done something. It was a hot day just like any other. His boss had sent him to cover the story. He was given a news van and a camera. He would have to do the picture taking and the writing of the story on his own. He felt something was wrong from the very beginning, but he could not figure what would happen next. He arrived at the accident scene. The two cars were badly damaged and everyone close by was looking, waiting for the emergency service to come. He put on his press jacket and went to the site. He started taking pictures when he heard the groaning of a woman. He was immediately shocked and tried to find the source of the groan. He found her sticking her arm out, calling for some...

Love found, but lost, again

(Deviant Art Website) I don’t think there would have been anyway I would have gotten her. At first I thought she was out of my league, but as I got to know her better, I realized we were meant to be. The first day I saw her was in class. It was the first day of the semester. I saw her come in, but was unable to see her face clearly. She sat right behind me, so close I saw her shoes from the corner of my eye. I loved her hairstyle (I love ladies with afros) and her shoes were kind of cute (Of course I was not concentrating on the shoes alone). Her perfume was out of this world. I could have smelt it for the rest of my life. I was ‘thirsty’ and I am not ashamed to admit it. It took a while to get to know each other (thank you Lord for group work), but the more I saw her the more ‘thirsty’ I became. What made it worse was that we were compatible according to me. I thought she would treat me like a peasant, but she was kind and warm and she made it worse by smiling. I was stil...
