Code Red

CHAPTER 12.

Henry sat on the ground and growled like a wounded lion which he was. Like the proverb said, the exit of the cat made the house fall into the hands of rats. 

He wasn’t different from a beggar who looked up to passers-by for aid. His side and shoulders were stinging madly and it sent a thunderbolt to his brain. He dragged himself to sit by the fence of the hospital after the kidnappers left and later he vacated the environment as a few questioning eyes followed him.

Belladonna

How do I explain all of these things?

When I met you, you were kinda out of place

A misfit some called you,

A holier-than-thou Mother in the Lord,

A respectful girl who’s loved by all,

At first I acted like it wasn’t my business.

And it was like looking into the eyes of the Mother Confessor

It was like a subtle sweet sounding scintillating vacuum cleaner

I was drawn into you

Gbam!!!

And that was it

I began to see you

It wasn't Me.

CHAPTER 11.

Malaki couldn’t believe he had been handcuffed. He didn’t understand what was going on. All they told him they was that were the police as if he didn’t know and he was under arrest and anything he said or did could be used against him in the court of law. 

He never understood these insane policemen. When he decided to shout and struggle, they put him in their van. That was all he remembered. 

They knocked him out with God-knows-what and he had to admit, he didn’t think they were normal force men or security agents. He could swear they were raving-mad. 

How could any person or agent act in such a condescending manner? If security agents acted like common criminals and riff-raffs what was the fate of civilians? What was his fate?

THIS FINE MAN!!!

Let me tell you a story.

There was a man,

A fine one.

Scratch that,

A very fine man.

He wasn’t handsome according to your definition of handsomeness,

Neither had he six packs and abs,

Nor the 6ft plus,

Nor dark,

But what made him handsome was that he was mine.

Did you hear that,

He was mine.

I always felt elated ,

And showed him off to all,
