Chapter Forty -Three

"We got Companies here baby!" A young lady said opening her heavy curtain slightly and looking at the arguing people at the other building.

" Who?" A hoarse voice asked from a dark spot.

" I don't know, but they came with a bus. You know last week some people also came to Clean this place do you think people are starting to consider this place a location?" She asked the person standing at the dark spot while still Staring at the other building.

" No! That can't be!" The voice responded. " How many are they?"

" Let me count seven.... or no wait eight .Yes, there are eight In numbers."

" Are they kids among them?"

" No! They are all adults. I think in their late twenties or early thirties."

" Then it's not a family! Cos there will be no family without aged people or kids. And we need a kid blood for the sacrifice!" The voice said bitterly.

" They might be a group of people in search of fresher pastures, cos we have nice pastures here."

" They are not animals! Do you think the city is not better than fresher pastures to them?"

" I will go to them later. And find out why they are here." She said closing the heavy curtain.

"Don't forget that you have to go into the city today and find a kid." The voice said still standing in the same position.

" What do we need a kid for?"

" The rituals."

" We can't do that anymore, we now have companies. We won't want to perform magic chants in front of them! If we do that, we are only exposing ourselves to danger."

" I don't care! I don't want to know about that!" The voice shouted.

" Keep it low please, they might hear us!"The lady said moving close to the dark corner.

" I just want to leave this position and realize my dreams. I have a lot to achieve! I can't just seat here and do nothing!"

" I know but we have to halt the rituals first. I also want you out of this position, I want to feel you and touch you once again but not right now please. It will only get us expose, I Know You understand me." The lady plead with a worried face.

" Then let get rid of those people, they are a hindrance to our progress." The voice commanded.

" What progress? What progress have we made? We have been killing children. for the past ten years! We have killed a total of thirty children but it still didn't yield any result, I even donated my foetuses for you but all of it's for nothing! And you want me to keep going out there and bringing more kids without fear of been caught?!"

" You can't get caught, am sure of that. And I can feel it, we are close to success, we are making progress." The voice replied her softly.

" I know you won't listen. Am done here!" She storms out of the living room.
