Taking Over (2)

Chapter Twenty-five

Silence evolved them as they held their breath to avoid bringing unnecessary attention to themselves.

After, some minutes the sound of someone's movements begins to get closer to them.

Trya released the red haired woman and whispered something towards her ear. The red haired woman nodded before she dived deeper into the river

She returned her attention back to the intruder. On closer look, she noticed that the intruder was in a military camouflage uniform.

As if noticing that someone was behind him. He turned towards Tyra. Even due, his vision was blurry, from the silthoutes of her figure he could induced that she was familiar .

Seeing him approaching, she brought out the small weapon she always attaches to her waistband for safety measures. She raised her right hand and directed the weapon towards his forehead but he easily doged it. He used one of his hands to hold her hands before easily twisting to her back.

She winced in pain . He hit her on the stomach using his fist and collected her weapon , Tyra groined again in pain as she felt a punch on her stomach.

He raised his head towards her face but was left shocked on what he saw next. A tears of joy began to form in his eyes . He couldn't believe what his eyes was seeing.

Tyra looked at him weirdly on seeing his sudden change of expression. Using his little distraction as a cue, she raised her left leg and directed it, in between his legs.

On the sudden impact of pain he felt in between his legs. He groined in anguish making his hold on the gun loosen. Tyra used that opportunity to snatch her weapon and hit him directly on his forehead .

She brought her legs again in between his legs to kick him but he held her legs without any force to avoiding impacting pains towards her .

He knows he can't hurt her no matter what. He still wondered why she couldn't recognized him .

He groined again in pain as he feels a sudden pain at the back of his head.

He looked at the love of his life he had been looking for many years with his eyes wide opened before closing his eyes and slipping into unconsciousness.

Tyra grinned , removed his gun that was hanging on his shoulder. She slipped it into her shoulder before making an attempt to carry him out of the water.

She growled as she found it difficult to carry him. Before she could struggle further. The red haired woman appeared beside her.

She helped her as the both of them carried him out and towards the other side of the river. They went into a more secluded area to avoid the other people seeing him or even attempting to kill him since he was one of the soldiers.

"Have you collected it." Tyra asked the red haired woman after she came back on an errand of searching for herbs to treat his wounds which she inflicted on his head

"Yes "She answered and nodded her head before sitting beside the young man in his late thirties.

She watched him closely and a smile graced on her face.

She collected the water mixture from Tyra before instructing "Go out and find out what happened. I will treat him . I am experienced in these aspect ." referring to the medicine.

Tyra looked at her weirdly before nodding and leaving the small tent.

After , Tyra came out of the tent. She straighten up and massaged her neck and wrist.

"What happened, why was the soldiers chasing after you people." she asked as she sat beside a tree with one of the physicians who was treating the injured men.

He looked at her and whispered "They were caught speaking against the new head of state. They were slaughtering his name. " he laughed and continued "What a bitter world. We no longer have freedom of speech"

Tyra was shocked on hearing that. She let out a long sigh "What a turn of events. we are in trouble. These country is going to meet it doom soon." she muttered under his breath.

....

Spriya who was inside the room was oblivious of what was going on in the country.

Since her arrival at the the Smittian mansion two days ago. She has been shut to the outside world. Most of her electrical gadgets were confiscated by her grandmother in law.

Stating that it was the only thing she could do to keep her safe.

After her emotional breakdown , her grandmother in law insisted that they move out of the presidential villa on the same day for their safety. Since none of them knows what awaits that and If another military leader was going to take over the next day.

The country were in a great mess after the missing of the president was announced.

She was reading a document sent by her assistant before her leaving the state on that day.

She looked up from the documents, when she heard the sound of her phone.

She looked at the caller's ID and blinked twice. She rubbed her eyes with her right hand to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

For the past few months , She has never called for once. She scowled before picking up the phone.

"Good morning , mother." she greeted her politely . She removed the phone from her ear once again and looked at ID to be sure. She raised the volume before pulling it back towards her right ear.

"How are you doing ? I heard what happened. Are you okay now?" she asked in a row.

"Mom, I am fine. More over, we are not sure whether he is dead."

" Okay, thank God you a better..."

"Mum." she interrupted " When are you coming back to the country. You have be away for a long time."

" Oh my daughter, I am already in the airport."

"Wow, let me come and pick you up."she said stepping out of the bed.

The room she was staying was spacious. Beautiful and elegantly decorated due it is not as beautiful as the presidential room but is still comparable.

" No No " the anxious voice of her mother in law rang through the phone. "I am already in taxi . Don't bother coming out please" she said gloomy.

She can't afford to put her daughter in law in another dramatic episode.

From the tone of her voice, she seems to oblivious of the confirmed news of her son's death . " Rest well I am on way home."

"Okay ma, I will be waiting for you." she said and hang up.

Downstairs stairs

Ma Smittian has been shock that she didn't move from were she was sitting for a long time

She leaned towards her maids who held her on both sides.

Streams of tears flooded down her eyes .

"Make sure you keep these a secret. Don't let my daughter in law know anything about the news. I will personally inform her later . We will travel by next tomorrow Dawn to make arrangements and collect....." she told a deep breath and said in between her sob "my grand son's corpse. My son and his wife will be back before the end of today also make sure you keep it away from my husband. His health is down

I can't afford to loose another family member. "

She looks at the maid beside her left side and instructed" Go and look at my great grand son Danvers. He ran out after he heard the news .....

"Which news are you talking about .?" the three were shocked when they looked up and saw Pa Smittian standing on one of the stairs.
