Back Home III

Anton woke up shocked. A noise woke him up. He dozed off after checking if the house was secured, he changed the security code and was on the couch checking his phone for messages when he dozed off.

Shaking his head, he checked the time on his wrist watch, it's 5:00pm. That was when he remembered, he heard a screeching sound, he stood up immediately, that was when he heard footsteps....what the fuck! he said running to his room to get his revolver, just how many people are heading this way...what the heck is going on out there? That was when he heard the banging.

There's no way an assassin or a thief will knock on the door....he put the gun in his pants and pressed the security button to see who was outside but what he got was a lot of eyes in the peep hole. He smiled, no need to check the security camera, he know just who they are.

He opened the door, before he could say anything...someone flew into his arms ....almost knocking him down. Hey easy tiger, he said as he held her in his arms.

I saw the news and I know your car anywhere, Jenna said crying....You are alive, she hugged him again.

Hey handsome, I knew you couldn't go down like that. Thank God you are ok. Brianna said.

Uncle Ato...Tega ran into the house....pushing Jenna away from Anton's body.

I'm fine everyone, I wasn't in the car. Hey mom, you came...woh you brought grams too...is that Beverly?

I knew something was wrong when my daughter didn't return home. I'm glad you are ok, we all rushed out after Jenna showed us the video of the accident. I'm sure Jim is on his way now.

Hey Anton... you almost gave us all a heartache especially Jenna, you know she loves you like crazy....even though I've told her the both of you can't be together. Mavis said...helping his grams and the baby out of the car.

Woh....I'm sorry familiar, I didn't know it's already on the news. Please come on in...let me check if Mena is awake.

Let her sleep, Mrs Onome said, she needs rest. But before she could finish her statement, Tega squeezed himself out of Anton's arms and ran to the other side of the house.

Too late Mrs Onome, we all know where he's heading...Anton said laughing.

Handsome please tell us what happened, Bree said as she took his hand and led him into the living room.

I think we need a bigger house .....cause this house won't contain you all, if there's need for you all to pass the night.

Naaa this parlour is big enough and the house is big enough...we can sleep anywhere. Brianna said....now tell us what happened.

Sky heard noise but she couldn't hear it well, she decided to go back to sleep, when she heard her door open and her sweetheart ran into her arms.

Anteeee, Tega screamed as he ran to meet Sky on the bed.

Hey my little man, how are you? don't lie on baby ok? move a bit sweetheart.

Sowie baby, Tega said kissing Sky's stomach.

It's allright Tega, baby loves you too.

Miss you Anteeee, Tega said.

I miss you too little man...I bought you something, drag my bag over here.

Tega ran to the living room....mummy, grams.....Anteeee bought me peanut. Sky watched as the little boy ran. She heard the noise from the living room and kitchen and said. Wow it's a full house.

Hey my baby, come sit with me. Anton just told us what happened and now we are about to watch our favorite TV program. Grams said

Her favorite TV program sist, not ours...Mavis said shaking his head.

Hey Beverly how are you? How's my angel doing? Sky asked as she collected the baby from her grams and made funny baby sounds.

Anton heard the doorbell and went to get the door. It was Bones, Dwayne and Chiamanda.

Hey Mr Anton, glad you are ok, even though I don't like you, I still want you alive so we can have a duel some day. Dwayne said

I can't wait for that day so I can beat your ass, Anton said smiling as he did the man handshake with Dwayne.

Boss, glad to see you in one piece. Bones said .

Thank you all, I actually didn't know I had alot of fans, thanks for your love and care. You all came at the right time, there's a feast going on now.

Bones turned back to leave, saying he'd come back later. The trio laughed as Chiamanda held his hand and dragged him into the house, she's heard of her boss mom being a great cook but she hasn't really met the family outside work...and she was dying to taste the food.

Anton shook his head as he led them to the living room. Before he could sit down, he had the doorbell.

I'll get it...Mavis said from the kitchen. It was Jim and Stone. Hi big bro, hi Mr Stone. They are in the living room, you can join them there.

Thank you for coming, I am very lucky to have each and everyone of you. I really needed this. Sky said at the dinning after prayers. Please eat as you want, there's more in the kitchen. My mom made a feast.

After dinner, Sky, Anton, Dwayne, Bones, Chiamanda and Stone moved to the study for their meeting.

I got the video, Bones said as he connected his flash drive to his boss system. He played the video for all to see.

Woh, Dwayne said as the truck hit the small car, the driver targeted the backseat of the car...no one can survive that, he said as he watched the crash.

Poor girl, Sky said as she remembered the girl Stone told them about. If only she had known it would be her last day, she wouldn't have gotten into that car.

BAM! was the next thing they heard. Anton hit his fist hard on the desk, surprising everyone, enough of this. We have to think of a way to get this man, who knows what he's planning next.

Boss Anton, I really don't know how to say this but when I got back to the hospital, I found him dead sir, they were moving his body when I got there.

What! what do you mean dead?

Akeem is dead sir. I even spoke to the doctor, he said the surgery went smoothly and that Akeem was recovering well in his room but that he doesn't understand why he died all of a sudden. I checked the CCTV in the hospital but they don't have much since it's not a big hospital. I saw someone that looks like Mr Jide but I couldn't get his face, it's like he was avoiding all the cameras.

Wow, just how evil is he. Bones please see what you can do, check all the cameras surrounding the hospital, even the one on the road leading to the hospital, check the plate numbers of all the cars that was in the hospital for the past two hours. Sky said

Yes boss, I'm on it. Dwayne will fill you on the truck driver.Bones said.

We found the truck but turns out, it was stolen and we are still trying to find out who drove the truck, we got his face from the video of the accident but Bones is yet to run it on their data base.

Ok. Anton said, we all have to be vigilant and careful, we need to get him fast, I'm give you all till weekend, show me what you've got. We will double the salary of anyone who get Me Jide.

Ok boss, the four of them said in unison as they looked at themselves.

Game on, Stone said as he winked at Bones. He stood up to leave saying he had somethings to do at the club.

I'll give you a ride home, Bones said to Chiamanda as he packed his stuff and stood up to leave too.

What about me Bones? so typical of you...we all came together, but now you are abandoning me for a woman.

Shut up pretty face, walk home, you need it...we need to make you look more masculine ...Bones said as he left the room.

Hey I have muscles, even abs, and stop calling me pretty face.

Smiling, Chiamanda said goodbye to the boss and Mr Anton.

Sky laughed at her employees behavior while Anton tapped Dwayne on the shoulder...we understand bro, we do. Don't worry I'm sure a nice lady will give you a lift home, I doubt you'll walk home. Now come along, there's something I need you to do for me.

Sky shook her head as the two left the study. She brought out her phone to check for messages from Neto but there was none, disappointed she threw the phone on the table, stood up and left the room to join her family in the living room.
