Bimbo II

Bones held the bag close to his chest as the elevator took him to the top floor. He made sure Bimbo got the note his boss wrote but he had to make a quick stop at the restaurant on his way to the company.

As the door of the elevator opened, he sighed, he was right...she was still working and he's sure she hasn't eaten.He walked over to her desk and she didn't even notice...He tapped on her table softly.

Surprised, she looked up...hey Mr Bones, I thought you left? oh she said as she checked the time, here to pick the boss, she's um inside you can go in, she said avoiding his face.

Bones handed her one of the bag he was holding, he wondered why she wouldn't look at him and only looked down. Here you go Chiamanda, I'm sure you haven't eaten anything.

She looked at him, for the first time, since he walked in and smiled. Thank you she said...collecting the bag and looked away.

Bones smiled and went into the boss's office.

He called my name not Miss but just my name, and he bought me food... Chiamanda said smiling as she hugged the bag. Oh why did it have to be today...she was a mess, she didn't pack her hair properly and her makeup must be ruined, she hasn't had the time to look at herself in the mirror today. He's finally noticed me, she said smiling.

Hey Bones we were just leaving. Sky said to Bones as he walked in.

Ma'am I delivered your message and I waited and made sure he got it but he only asked me to go that he'll get back to me. Bones said as he stared at Mr Anton who seems to be in a bad mood. He looked like Ms Sky when she's irritated.

Oh...he already contacted me, just before you came in, he called me. He wants to meet with me tonight at Eltigre bar by 10:00pm.

That's fast, Bones said. I don't trust him ma'am.. remember he works with Mr Jide, we have to be careful.

Atleast someone is thinking straight, please tell her Bones, she agreed to meet him alone at that place. Anton spoke for the first time since Bones came in.

Wait....what is this Eltigre bar like? I have never been there.

It's filled with men boss, the only women there are sex workers or gangster or gangster's women....if you know what I mean, and the place reeks of beer, sweat and sex ma'am, they do alot of things that should be done indoor in in the open.

Hmmm I think I know what you mean, that means I have to dress up, yey it's been long since I played. Stop glaring at me Anton, everyone will notice you if you go with me and we both know attention is the last thing I need. They already know Bones face and that of Stones so I will go with Dwayne.

What the fuck! Dwayne? Anton asked screaming.

I thought you've been training him...Sky shrugged.

Yes about the business, and I gave him a few tips but Dwayne is too soft for this kind of thing.

That's the more reason why he needs to go and learn. And do you know why Bimbo chose that location? Its cause he knows I wouldn't want to go to a place like that. Don't worry I have a plan ok, and I don't think he'll hurt me..

I think?

Sky...I understand you, Anton said as he held her by the shoulder. I know why you want to do this. We all want this to stop, but I'm not going to send you to a room filled with those underworld goons alone, please think about it. About my princess, I won't forgive myself if anything happens to you.

Sky signalled Bones to leave before she hugged her bestfriend. I know Anton, but you trained me and I'm not some weakling. I will take your revolver if that will make you happy. Bimbo wouldn't think of searching me cause I was very weak then in school. He knows me as the girl who wears baggy skirt and who minds her business cause she's too afraid. Have someone follow Mr Jide, watch my back, we have to do this. I know how you feel and it's ok to feel like this sometimes, but I promise you, neither me nor your God daughter are going anywhere.

Sky felt Anton shiver and held him tight, he was crying, what happened in China? She has to be fast with what she's doing for the sake of her friend. It's allright Anton, we are fine.

Dwayne was in the parking lot when he got a text from Ms Sky...she wanted him to meet her in her place in an hour time. Fuck he already made plans with Oscar, and he promised he wouldn't miss the party cause he's been bailing out on Oscar lately cause of work. They've been planning this day for months, the Senate President son's party and Oscar was able to get two invites. Fuck he said again ..kicking his car. Ouch that hurts. He got into his car and started the car. First she sent him to go to the library this morning to read a book and she told him the library to visit...she told him she needed a summary of the book. He had to get help from the librarian to do that. Then when he got back to the office, she made him work on the South America project for hours, then she called him to come to her office that it was important. He almost fell as he ran to the elevator cause he thought it was an emergency, only for him to get there and she wanted corn. Now she wants to take tonight away from him. Why me! he said hitting the steering.

Sky looked at the bag on the table in the meeting area, she opened it and saw a plate of food, she called Bones and he ran into the office.

Oh ma'am, that's um chicken vegetable sauce and rice, Bones said as he saw her with the bag of food. I know how you like to taste different meals so I brought this for you.

Oh how thoughtful of you Bones, thank you. I ate alot of corn earlier, I guess I'll make this my dinner, it smells nice. Thank you, Sky said happily. Now let's go cause this young man here has a football match to watch, Sky said as she linked hands with Anton.

Lemme get that for you...Bones said as he collected her bag and the bag containing the food.

Chiamanda... you are still here? Sky said as she saw Chiamanda working on her computer. Go home dear, it's late. I'll have one of Bones men send you home. Sky said smiling as she sighted the food bag on Chiamanda's table. Yey...Bones has finally fallen...her inside voice said smiling.

But ma'am, I have to...

No, no, no...you can work from home. Sky said, cutting her short. Do the rest at home on your laptop then you can transfer them here tomorrow. Goodnight dear, she said as she walked to the private elevator.

I'll send Nicholas up to take you home. Goodnight Miss Chiamanda. Bones said before he walked away.
