The Betrayer

“The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies.”

***

“Life has taught me that you can’t control someone’s loyalty. No matter how good you are to them, doesn’t mean that they will treat you the same. No matter how much they mean to you, doesn’t mean that they’ll value you the same. Sometimes the people you love the most, turn out to be the people you can trust the least.”

{Third Person Narration }

Gina was anxious to finish her work earlier so that she could meet Jackson. She didn’t know why she always got attracted to criminals. To think that she had fallen in love with the very leader of the gang that had threatened her colleagues with a gun some few months ago at St. Paul’s Missionary Hospital was unbelievable. The wall clock ticked 1.00 p.m.

Finally she had finished her afternoon shift and was set to go. She checked the wall clock again to make sure.The time was 1.00 p.m.

Cassandra called her and said she would be a little bit late for work so she should ‘hold the fort’ for her. Gina told her she could hold on for her for not more than 15 minutes.

15 Minutes Later

Gina called Cassandra and told her she had to go because she had a rendezvous to honour. Cassandra became curious and asked her where she was going. She lied to her she was going to see her elder brother who called her on an urgent matter.

She met Cassandra when she was about to leave the hospital.

“Have a nice day,” Gina, Cassandra said to her. She giggled and left for Jackson’s Residence.

20 Minutes Later.

Jackson’s Residence

Gina was very surprised at Jackson’s Residence. When she got closer to his Estate, she noticed the well-laid out houses with their well painted walls and Iron massive gates.Even the smell was different from the other environments , typical of most Nigerian communities which were often littered with mountains of rubbish and filth.

As she approached Jackson’s residence, she noticed the well-painted buildings decorated with potted plants and designed burglar proofing with walls which had been spiked to keep away intruders and thieves. It was quite ironical that the man she was going too was a higher order criminal, yet he lived in a luxury house with spiked walls and electric wires. She watched the numbers on the well laid out houses until her eyes landed on house number 676.

She pressed the door bell and waited. A Scanner camera hummed and turned on her for 10 seconds. She saw a blue ray of light flashed through her whole body and an automated voice sounded , SCANNED COMPLETE.!

Then she heard a CLICK and the gate opened by itself.

She stepped into a large compound, surrounded by magnificent storey buildings.

But there was one unique design among the rest. It was the design of a COBRA.

There was a large garden surrounding the building. A fresh cut lawn with beautiful plants and flowers and an overwhelming smell of mint, gave the place an unparalleled ambience.

The path led her to another small gate. On the small gate was the inscription, “WELCOME TO SKY VILLA!!!” boldly emblazoned on It.

As soon as she reached the gate,

it opened. She followed the path to a magnificent building.

It had a facial recognition software technology. After seeing her face, the door of the buiding opened and there he was. Jackson Desgagne!

She tried to hide her astonishment but it was apparently written all over her face.

In summary, Jackson’s residence was beyond description. She’s fully convince crime pays in Nigeria.

He said, ” welcome to My villa. Forget about the rigorous security checks.

You know security is very important,dear, especially to the leader of the BLACK COBRA.”

She sat on his super soft couch and gazed at the chandeliers mounted onto the ceiling.

“I know what you want to ask me but let’s skipped it now and talk about serious business, Jackson told her.”

Gina : Ok. What kind of business is that?

Jackson: I will go straight to the point.

Gina: Okay. Go ahead.

She looked quite nervous because she didn’t anticipate an interview.

Jackson: I need the direction to your friend’s new location.

Gina: Who exactly?

Jackson: Your fair friend.The …heroine that was ready to die for her boyfriend.

Gina : You mean Cassandra…um,ummm. Ww…w…why do you need her new location for?

Jackson : Something serious.

Gina : Do you want to woo her?

Am I not enough for you?

She sounded jealous.

Jackson : No. Don’t be jealous. Why will I woo her?

Gina : You, tell me. Why do you want her residential address then?

Jackson : my boss want to talk to her.

Gina : Your Boss? Why ? What has she done.

Jackson(laughing silently) My boss want to apologize to her personally for the way we treated her at St. Paul Missionary Hospital.

Gina :Hmmm.

She heaved a sign of relief.That sounded quite nice.

Jackson : Yes. It is.

Gina: Still, I’m not sure if I should give you her location despite your explanation.

Jackson : hmmm. I will give you

385,112.60 Naira (1000 Dollars/GHc 11,329.29)for that piece of information.

Gina : Like seriously?

Jackson: Yes.

He took his cheque book and wrote a cheque of 385,112.60 Naira for me. Gina looked at him for a long time. What could be that important with this girl that Jackson was willing to part with that sum of money? She got greedy and said,

” I think you should add extra 385,112.60 to it.

To her amazement, he made it 763,000.00

Nigerian Naira ($2000)

Then she reasoned he could give her a blank cheque and told him she would rather take cash. After much hesitation, he gave her the cash.

Gina: Ok. Give me a piece of paper. Let me write Cassandra’s new location for you.

Jackson: Good. Good. Thank for your co-operation in advance

Gina: Don’t mention it.

She wrote the direction to Cassandra’s House on the piece of paper and handed it over to him.

He thanked her heartily. They then began taking causally.

He gazed at her romantically.

Jackson:Do you love me?

Gina : Yes , I do.

Jackson : I love you too.

Gina : Hmmm. I hope you won’t deceive me.

Jackson : I won’t, Gina. You are sexy. Even your name sounded like….. something sweet , when “Va” is put at the beginning of your name.

Gina put the ‘VA’….At the beginning of her name ‘GINA’ and shouted , “errr …You are a bad boy. You spoil your body ruff.”

She covered her face with her hands.

Jackson : (laughing like a child)

I never knew you can speak pidgin English.

Gina:(removing my hands) Well. There are many things you don’t know about me.

Jackson : Yes. It’s true. I think I have to start knowing things about you. Let’s start with the “VA”…thing. I want to experience it.

Gina: Are you sure?

Jackson : Yes, that’s why I asked.

He got closer to her and carry her to his bedroom. He undid her zipper and suddenly her nurse’s dress fell beneath her feet like a pile of rug. Drawing her towards the bed without a word, she sat on his bed. He sat next to her and wrapped his arms around her. His mouth found hers.

His hands was moving all over her with such expertise that she was fully aroused spiralling into ecstasy.

When they finally made a connection, she gasped and cried out softly. He stopped and stared at her. Gina assured him she was all right and urged him on as she wrapped her arms around him….

Soon they reunited in a bond of love.

Meanwhile…..

{Rosaline’s Viewpoint}

I waited at my hideout. My brother had promised sending me the lorry fare for one good week now but it was apparent he didn’t have the money to send. I knew the longer I hang around in Nigeria, the higher the possibility of running into Zolabin’s thugs.I dreaded that thought, to be recaptured by Zolabins thugs. That would be my certificate to instant death.

That thought sank away my joy of

being free from Zolabin.

I diverted my thought to the much anticipated Journey. I wondered how my travel experience from lagos to – Accra would be and how Staying in Ghana would be.

Is Ghana really safe as many people would make us believe or it’s just like Nigeria. Are the people friendly? Does it has typical villages and very poor people like Nigeria? Are there terrorist groups there too like the Bokom Haram?

***

It was my first time and I was having a doubtful feeling that the trip would be very boring since its a 9hr 25mins journey. I will choose GUO public transport because of how reliable and how fast they are compared to other transports and also how reliable they are.

Then Mike called me again!!!

I felt as if it was the second coming of Christ. He told me he was trying to raise money for my fare and he tried to convince his boss to give him advance payment but the man was uncooperative. He said by God’s grace he met a good Samaritan who was magnanimous enough to give him something.

He told me to go to an MTN vendor so that he would send the money through the vendor’s account to be cashed to me since I didn’t know the thug’s MTN account password.

I went to one of the vendor’s who looked decent, get her number and forward it to My brother. Five minutes later, Mike sent the money and I cashed it out.

With the money, I booked for a ticket.

At the station all the passengers were asked to wait for a while.We waited for about an hour because the bus was coming from the main station in Nigeria.

Soon we boarded the bus and by 6:05am we took off.

We were offered food white rice and stew with chicken and a plastic bottle water. The AC on the bus took me off and I found myself sleeping really comfortably.

We crossed the Seme- Nigeria Border.

By 9:30 am we were already at Benin-Togo Border and by 11.00 a.m the Togo- Aflao border.

Most passengers brought out their passports and gave them to the immigration officers to stamp on them. Quite surprisingly I wasn’t asked a passport.

We were not really delayed. We waited for about 10mins after which, we were released to go.

While waiting, traders came in to advertise their products. Some passengers bought while some like me felt it was too expensive and I will get it cheaper at the next border. We took off from the border into Ghana. With the little view I saw, Ghana is really a nice place. Nice beaches and all that.

Will Rosaline have a stress free journey to Accra to reunite with his brother ?

What exactly are the criminals planning again?
