###Chapter 2

Chapter two

Akin was walking through the lonely forest, with her phone glued to her ears, she laughed and talk and walk.

Even with the darkest of the night, she doesn't seem to bother, all in her mind is to reach home as early as possible and sleep.

"Yes, I heard you!" She said loudly and chuckled.

---

Fredrick was sat at his Seating room when his spies boys arrived.

"Robert is back, we saw him with our very own eyes." They exclaimed.

A Smirk escape from his lips as he emptied the cup of Alcohol he was holding.

"He came back to meet his death." Fredrick muttered and pick up his gun, he called Diego in the cell phone.

"Robert is back!" Fredrick yelled.

"What if I tell you I and my boys had our eyes on him, we are following him and we won't let him escape from us." Diego replied.

"That's excellent, don't do anything, just wait for me." Fredrick ordered and dash out of the seating room.

"We have to do everything carefully, I don't want anyone to find out." Fredrick said still holding his phone and talking to Diego.

"Don't worry, I heard he isn't coming back with his gangs, he will be alone." Diego replied.

Ronaldo appeared in front of Fredrick.

"I will talk to you later." Fredrick said and hang off.

Do you need something?" Fredrick asked.

"Are you going somewhere? Are you planning to kill someone?" Ronaldo asked.

Fredrick Chuckled.

"Just go and rest, don't worry." Fredrick said and entered the car.

Ronaldo happened to hear their conversation, he felt lonely and decided to meet his brother for another talk when he heard him talking with Diego, he decided to follow him secretly.

While Fredrick's car ran off, he entered another car and followed them slowly.

Deep inside the forest, Robert was seen driving, enjoying the cool music played by the Radio in his car, he closed his eyes, and open them, his car suddenly stopped and when he came out of the car, some men dressed on black wearing black masks surrendered him.

He stared at them fearfully, because he isn't ready for any drama, he just wants to reach home safely, and meet his family since he has been away for some months, worst of all, he isn't with any of his guards, that's the worst decision he made.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Robert asked with the last confidence in him.

They all pointed their guns at him.

"We want you death." Diego replied sternly appearing from the other side of the forest, he majestically Walked to him.

"Diego!" Robert asked shocked.

"The one and only." Diego replied with a Chucky wicked grin.

"What do you want from me Diego, I know you are evil." Robert asked.

"Yes, I am evil, and I'm gonna show you that, just say your last wish because you are going to die." Diego said in a mocking tune then he made a straight face.

"I haven't done anything, and I'm not scared of you Diego, you cannot kill me." Robert yelled.

"Yes I won't, but Fredrick will." Diego replied.

"I can't just stay and watch him like this, I hate to do something." Robert thought and bring out a gun from his shirt, he can't risk going out without a gun, he shoot up and it get their attention, he started running as fast as he could, he fall down and stood up running more faster while Diego and his men ran after him.

He managed to hide at the back of a tree and watched them running towards the wrong direction, he thought they left so he came out.

He was looking back when he bumped into something hard and he fall on the floor, he raised his head to see Fredrick.

"Thank God you are here, this crazy Diego wants me death." Robert said with a heavy sighed.

But to his surprise, Fredrick kick his stomach and he fall to the floor groaning, Fredrick brought out his gun.

"No, killing you with a gun makes death easier for you, I want every minute you regret living." Fredrick said and bring out a very sharp knife.

"What have I do to deserve this? I served your father with all my strength is this how you are going to pay me?" Robert asked.

"You betrayed my father, you killed him all for wealth, you deserve to die." Fredrick said, Robert tried to say something but the sharp knife cut piercing into his stomach kept him mute.

Tears rolled from his eyes as blood rushed out.

"I can't stand him saying another word." Diego raged.

"I..I... haven't... killed your father..I have always worked for him...you will find out the person one day...my death will not go in vain." Robert stammered coughing blood with his hands wrapped on his stomach, the pain is too much and unbearable.

Fredrick choke the knife into his stomach again and again, before he brought a gun and shot him.

Akin heard the loud shot and she removed the phone from her ears immediately, her body trembled as she tried to locate where the noise is coming out, and when she arrived, her eyes almost popped out, she almost screamed but she stop herself, her body shaking so bad and her heartbeat beating faster than ever.

She just witnessed a scene of terrible people killing someone ruthlessly, they even popped out his intestines with knifes, tears fall from her eyes.

Fredrick and Diego saw her and before they could do anything, she began to run breathing heavily, they run after her, she held her chest and ran faster, she bummed into someone, Ronaldo.

His soft hands held her waist supporting her from falling down.

Her phone fall and she didn't noticed, even in the darkest of the night, his beauty shines.

Just then Fredrick and Diego sighted her with Ronaldo.

"Stop her!" They yelled but the blood on their hands got him scared and unknown to him, Akin run away, he was rushing to stop his brother and friend from killing Robert, but from the blood stain on their hands, he knew that they already killed him.

Fredrick and Diego rushed to him.

"Where is she?" Fredrick shouted.

"You killed him." Ronaldo muttered.

"That's what he deserves, a painful death, now back to my question, where the hell is she?" Fredrick shouted.

"I don't know, she escaped." Ronaldo replied weakly.

"What the heck, I should have known you can't do anything! That girl freaking saw us killing Robert and she is the witness, if she report us to the police, we are so done, you don't know what you have done by letting her escape." Fredrick yelled.

"I guess you told me you are not scared of the law, so chill, and don't worry." Ronaldo said.

"You are so insane Ronaldo, forget about the law, this girl have to die, if our enemies find her first, they are going to use her against us, we must find her and kill her." Fredrick said.

"Look what I found." Diego said taking their attention.

"A cell phone? This is so good, we are going to use this and trace her, and the minutes I find her, I'm gonna remove her skull with my bullet." Fredrick vowed.

Ronaldo knew that he couldn't let his brother kill a innocent soul again, he have to do something fast.

That Diego is a devil and Ronaldo hates him for always leading his elder brother into committing crimes and murders, he is always the first person to give him the news of new hard drugs arrivals, weapons and guns, and he doesn't trust him at all.

"No wait, I will find her myself." Ronaldo said stopping them from leaving.

Fredrick Chuckled.

"You? I thought you are against all this?"

Fredrick asked.

"Don't mind him, he thought this is some kind of joke." Diego said.

"I am talking to my brother not you, mind your business, Fredrick, I may be against all this, but if that girl can land you in trouble then I myself will bring her to you, because I don't want anything bad to happen to you, I love you big brother." Ronaldo exclaimed, wishing they will give him a chance.

Fredrick smiled and hit his chest.

"I trust you bro, get that girl as soon as possible." Fredrick said.

"But Fredrick this boy...."

"He is my brother, talk to him with manners Diego." Fredrick cut him off.

"I apologise." Diego said and walked passed them.

"I will see you later brother." Fredrick said and tab Ronaldo's back before leaving.

Ronaldo knelt on the ground hurt by the way they killed Robert ruthlessly, he just talk to Fredrick again.

But that girl, he knew he have to protect her at all cost.

"I won't let them find her, I will give her a shield of protection." Ronaldo vowed and headed to his car.

Akin ran until she arrived at home, her mother saw her panting, and she rushed to her immediately.

"Are you okay? What to you?" Her mother asked.

She was about to speak up when she recalled them killing him, no she isn't gonna tell her mum, what if they try to find her again.

"Mum, I saw a snake." Akin lied.

"Oh my child, hope it didn't bite you?" She asked.

Akin nodded and run to her room.

She recalled the guy that bumped into, though she couldn't recognize his face, but his Hands are soft.

Ronaldo's house

The two brothers returned home, Fredrick went to his room and have a bath, Ronaldo entered.

"What have you done? Why did you kill Robert, what have he done to you? Why are you so ruthless?" Ronaldo yelled.

"Because he deserves to die, he killed our own father." Fredrick replied.

"That man has a family, his children loved him, how sure are you that he killed our father, he has been working with him for ages and he never betrayed him why now?" Ronaldo shouted.

"Listen to me and stop overreacting, people tends to change, and I told you, the best word in the world is KILL, everyone is a betrayer, don't trust anyone." Fredrick said.

"My thoughts too, you said we shouldn't trust anyone but you trusted that evil Diego, I don't trust that guy, he always lead you to doing something evil, you can't trust him." Ronaldo said.

"I know who he is, he worked for me for years, and he will never betray me." Fredrick said.

"If Robert can betray dad then Diego can betray you too, c'mon brother, look at the risk you involved yourself, what if that girl expose you to everyone? Your life will be in a mess, what if you also get killed just the way you killed Robert, in Mafia life, there is nothing interesting, everyday blood." Ronaldo said softly.

"I'm not ready for all this lectures, you vowed to get that girl, so have this phone, I have Traced her, she lives not too far from here with her mother, I want you to find her before next tomorrow, I can't risk her been alive." Fredrick said.

"I will find her and bring her to you, but I'm not gonna kill her." Ronaldo replied.

"I understand, just go and rest, I will send the guards with your food." Fredrick said.

Ronaldo went to his room, he sat on the bed staring at Akin phone, he can still remember her look, her neatly short hair.

"I will do all it takes to protect her, even if it means fighting everyone, but I'm not gonna let them find her, never." Ronaldo soliloquies and laid on the bed, staring at ceiling and thinking of a way to deal with Akin, maybe he will began to search for her very early tomorrow, before the devil Diego find out about his plan
