Chapter ten.
Rejiana ran into the back of the car.
"Where to",she asked the middle aged man.
"I'm sorry but today I have a special client, so I'm not carrying anyone ".
Rejiana weighed the pros and cons of her thoughts, deciding on the more humane thing to do rejiana put a hand in her pocket and pulled out a bundle of American dollars and handed it to him.
The taxi driver chuckled softly then shook his head in disgust "ma'am with all due respect, you can not bribe me ,this is my first day working for Mr Williams ,and frankly I can not afford to let him down for a few extra cash".
Rejiana frowned she might have jumped into the wrong taxi, she cocked her head to the side in question"Mr Williams?".
The driver smiled "My see where have you been living?, under a rock, Mr Jason Williams is the richest man in the whole of Bulawayo, almost in Zimbabwe".
Rejiana smiled to herself ,she was still on track ,Richard was right he did change his identity, but the fool left his first name.
"Oh I see", she told him.
The driver looked at his watch, then adjusted his cap in the rearview mirror "It was nice meeting you my seester but Mr Williams will be coming out of his office anytime soon".
Rejiana nodded and stepped out of his car.
'What was she going to tell Richard?'.
Rejiana couldn't stand the disappointed look she knew was definitely going to be on his face ,after coming so far she couldn't just walk away with such an opportunity.
She slowly removed her gun from her back pocket and pulled the door open, she pointed the gun at his head "Get out!".
His eyes blew open and darted back and forth from Rejiana to her hand that treatened his very existence.
"Do I have to shoot you?",she yelled.
"No, no!", The man waved his hands in mock surrender before grabbing his brief case and running off.
Rejiana searched in the glove compartments and smiled when she saw a police like hat, she clumsily put it on .
She got in completely after making sure the driver hadn't called security.
Rejiana sat anxiously for five minutes, when she finally saw numerous men in suits approaching she adjusted her posture and straightened her hat.
She leaned back on her chair and tried as best as she could to listen to their conversation.
She watched the guards nod to him and he got into the car by himself.
Letting out a squeal of joy ,Rejiana jumped on her seat "Good afternoon Mr Williams."
He gave her a simple nod and she began to drive into town.
It infuriated Rejiana that every small talk she tried to make with him ,he shunned her out.
"Where are we going?",He finally asked when she turned left.
Rejiana hesitated "Sir according to your schedule, you have a parcel to collect at Haeffelis".
He nodded and looked back at his iPad.
She shook her head in utter disgust, here Jason was sitting so calmly like he wasn't aware of the crimes he did ,like he wasn't aware of the lives he'd destroyed , 'he deserved to die',she thought.
"Say who is this 'said' parcel from?".
Rejiana smiled ruefully and sent Richard a quick text that read :I've got him daddy.
"Well it's from Richard Navison".
She watched him still through the mirror "It's not a necessary parcel, drive to the hotel".
Rejiana groaned "No!", She began to pick up speed.
"What do you mean 'no',I said it's not important, I don't even know this Richard Navison".
Rejiana squinted her eyes "Really how is he's wife doing?".
Jason frowned "I don't know his wife",he snapped.
"Shut up Haylow",she slammed her hand on the steering wheel she couldn't stand it anymore.
Jason paled "What is your name?".
Rejiana threw the cap off her head "It's Rejiana Navison you dumb fuck!",she gritted her teeth.
Rejiana had expected him to be horrified ,or even start raining apologies but what she truly wasn't expecting was for him to start laughing.
Jason Haylow the murderer of her mother started laughing.
"Shut up or I'll kill you".
Jason laughed "you look so much like your mother".
Rejiana felt hot tears rise "We will see what you look like when I'm done with you ".
Haylow put his iPad down and leaned against Rejiana's head rest "your mother was a bitch".
Rejiana screamed "Shut up !!!!".
"Or what?", he screamed back "You'll run back to daddy or faint",he taunted her .
Tears flowed like a river "Why did you do it?",she whispered.
"Because Richard needed to be taught a lesson, and I wasn't intending on shooting Olivia ,the bitch was just in the way", he chuckled."but it turns out it affected him just like i had hoped.
Rejiana drove past Haeffelis and drove down for Bulawayo center "What did my father ever do?".
"He embarrassed me".
"Hoooowwwwwwww!!!!!?".
"He slapped me ,he disrespected me like I was a joke ",he finally said.
"You killed my mother ,ruined and changed my life because my daddy slapped you",she cried aloud .
Jason rubbed the bridge of his nose "Precisely".
Rejiana was weak but she still managed to scream "I'll Kill You", she chanted it on an on like a chorus.
"I'll Kill you in front of all your employees if you value embarrassment like that",she began to drive towards the company.
Chuckling he asked "And then what? ,you get arrested ".
Rejiana pulled out her gun and pointed it at him.
Jason laughed "that's cute ".
"Listen Rejiana sweetie once I step out of this car with a simple nod I can have you killed and say it was a robbery ,my guard doesn't go to jail and neither do I ,and you can say hello 'mama'".
Rejiana cried helpelessly and acted on the only thought she knew would be effective, so she turned into the oncoming traffic and exhilarated .
'Mama would be proud'.
°°°°°
Richard Navison shook uncontrollably as he stared at the news late in the night .
BREAKING NEWS . JASON WILLIAMS ALSO KNOWN TO BE JASON HAYLOW WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON ACCIDENT ALONG 9TH AVENUE ,HE DIED ON THE SPOT ALONG WITH A NINETEEN YEAR OLD TEENAGER KNOWN TO BE REJIANA NAVISON ,SHE LEFT AMERICA A WEEK AGO WITH HER FATHER.
THE SURPRISING PART OF THIS ACCIDENT IS WHAT WAS WRITTEN IN ON THE WINDOW.
A picture flashed on the screen Richard recognized Rejiana's chicken scratch hand writing ,on the window it was written.
'THEY WILL BE DEAD'.
'MAMA WOULD BE PROUD'.
Richard threw his laptop at the TV and turned it off ,he ran his hands threw his hair and kicked everything he came in contact with.
"My baby!",he screamed.
Richard finally regretted it, revenge wasn't as sweet and soothing as he thought it would be, he was a bad father, his daughter died doing the wrong thing, the thing he had raised her to be. He knew he was a sick excuse of a father. Jason wasn't worth it.
None of it was worth it.
He had lost everything and everyone and there was no reason to go on.
°°°°°
The next day Richard Navison's lifeless body laid flat on the pavement, onlookers wondered 'why', some had seen him jump from the five storey building.
Soon an ambulance came .
Detectives ran upstairs to check if it really was a suicide like some had claimed.
Nina Dube was a new detective on the case ,as soon as the door was opened she hurriedly got in with a note pad and pen ready inhand.
Nina jotted down her surroundings and stood rooted and stared at the window.
She ran back to her co-workers in the passage "Guys ,you have to see this".
They pushed through the door Nina had left slightly ajar .
The words smudged in red Matt lipstick had every one astounded.
'OLIVIA WOULD BE PROUD'
'THEY ARE DEAD'.
The end.
