BATTLE FIELD.

CHAPTER 15. 

Feeling elated was an understanding. Henry felt on top of the world.

His team was too good. 

After the raid that took down one of the members of Code Red, the remaining members were stronger.

That’s the thing with grief, pain and loss: when its overwhelming and you channel all of it into a particular thing, you’ll succeed in that thing. 

Most people hardly channelled it into the proper thing. Many people don’t grieve properly.

As long as they channelled it to deal with Malaki, it was fine for him.

He couldn’t tell them to see a psychologist, he knew these guys; when sense wasn’t directing them, ego was.

Henry and the guys had planned and monitored Malaki before executing their plans.

The group they sent to way lay him were just stupid guys. How could they allow him escape like that?

They even had the effrontery to tell them they failed and had a man down.

He had to tell the gang to take over which they did the previous night. He was going about to see Malaki and show him what was worse than hell.

Not knowing who would be Malaki’s saviour  made him decide to find a hideout that would make all enemies sweat before arriving at this particular place. 

After driving for almost five hours, they finally reached the destination.

With all his adrenaline pumping, Henry gave a deep throaty laugh. He downed a spirit and ran up the stairs.

Inside the ware house was his enemy.

Malaki!

The mad man was even asleep and he knew exactly what to do to wake him up.

A bucket of water mixed with urine and engine oil was the trick.

With no concern, he splashed it on a sleeping Henry who rushed back into consciousness. Henry and the other team members laughed.

On the other hand, Malaki was stunned to see Henry and some other guys. He knew he was in serious trouble and he might never see the light of day ever again.

Malaki closed his eyes to say his last prayers but a hot slap on his check reconfigured his mind about it. 

He opened his eyes but the effect of the slap gave him a 3D vision.

All in a bid to calm down, a raging Henry hit the wall with his fist before drawing his seat closer to Malaki.

Henry gave a formal introduction and told him the story of how he loved Tracy but life decided to step in and brought Malaki - a wonderful caretaker who turned into a pest was Henry’s description.

Henry said his only issue with Malaki was that he gave Tracy headache but when he decided to send his babies to attack him, it became a battle field.

Speaking about wrong timing, Malaki decided to speak. He feigned ignorance about the babies Henry was talking about.

Blood oozed from his mouth and nose as his response made two of the gang members beat him. They stopped at Henry’s command.

Henry told him not to lie. It would do him no good. He knew Malaki sent the hoodlums and even though he brought them down, they also took down one of his men.

Henry was going to make sure he paid for sending the dweebs and also for the man he lost. 

After brainstorming for several minutes for the way forward, Malaki's answer finally arrived.

Henry was infuriated; Did Malaki think he was joking? 

He told him to stop laughing but Malaki didn't

Angrily, he walked to Malaki’s seat and pulled him by the collar of his shirt.

It was an answer to Malaki’s escape prayer. The head-boots that landed on Henry’s forehead left him dazed and Malaki continued to struggle with the other team members. 

He braced himself up for the challenge; he would go down but surely with a fight.

Three gunshots were fired; it hit the other three men with Henry.

Someone else took over the fight!
