TSAKANI

Bubbles is still in shock about what she did, but I hope the green tea that I gave her will calm her down. I understand how she’s feeling though because this is her first time killing people, not 1 but 3 people within minutes, she needs to learn not to channel her feelings when she kills someone. The boys who clean for me are almost done cleaning up the blood, and the bodies have already been dealt with I really hate the fact that people died in my house, I will have to cleanse it. The door flies open, and the gents get in I’m surprised to see all of them here, well considering the fact that Lee said that he have some errands to run.

“We came as soon as we could, what happened?” Lee asks looking around my kitchen.

“Adele’s men happened.”

Him: “What did she do now?”

Me: “She sent his men here to fish for information because the other one was in the study,” shrugging.

Leon: “So, you came back and you found them here in your house? How many were they?”

Me: “4. Marty called me, and alerted me if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t have known that the were people here, I was going to come back late, and found my house cleaned out. And Spikiri have already given them the code to the safe imagine what could’be happened if I did not change it?” Talon whistles.

Lee: “Hhayi, it’s time we pay Adele a visit she has crossed the line. How dare she sends her men to your house? She has some nerves.”

Talon: “Yilokulala ama out skhokho, uke wacava muphi umjita olala ama out la phakathi kwethu njer?” (That’s because you sleep in other girls houses, which one amongst us have you ever seen sleeping at their girlfriend’s house) I shake my head.

Me: “That’s funny because I left you guys here. Anyway, we are not there. I called you guys here because I want one of you to stay behind here, and make sure that bubbles is okay.” They all look at each other confused.

Him: “Umagwebu? Yisilwane siphi leso? Senathaka TK?” (Foam? What kind of an animal is that? Are you now a ritualist) I chuckle.

Me: “Lux. I want one of you to stay here with her.”

Leon: “You came back with her here?” I nod.

Talon: “Vele seniyashova?” (Are you guys now dating)

Me: “We are yet to confirm that.”

Him: “So nanyovana k’phela?” (You are only tucking)

Me: “You can say that if you like.”

Batista: “Let’s pause the debate for a second I need to understand something here. You said, there were 4 men here, how did you kill them? Or maybe were they in separate rooms, and you killed them one by one?”

Me: “They would’ve killed me if that was the case,  I mean I was over powered, so obviously it was going to be easy for them to kill me. I’m joking. Anyways, bubbles killed three of them.” They look at each then laugh, I shake my head.

Talon: “Hhayi baba, ned ngoba lo lovey waqhumisa ezimnyama kayi 1 sekangu Rambo manjer? Ungadlali ngathi skhokho sibadala mfana.” (No man. Just because of that tyre stunt she did she’s already Rambo now? Don’t play like that)

Lee: “I know that what she did then was an act of bravery yesterday, but killing three men in cold blood? Now that’s far fetched you are giving the girl too much credit, phola skhokho chill.” I laugh.

Me: “Ngiyabona ukuthy nibo Thomas nina lomjita osencwadini yabelungu, manjer yazini ningafi ngizonidlalela I film. Unamasimba u bubbles unishaya nonke la, phela don’t forget that akekho noyi 1 la kini owabhodisa more than 3 people in few minutes, ningalokothi nikukhohlwe loko.” (I can see that you guys are like Thomas, the man from the bible, but don’t worry I will play a film for you. Bubbles is the best, she dribbles all of you here, none of you here killed more than 3 people in few minutes)

Talon: “Injalo ntwana ayijiki, ayishayi reverse.”

Batista: “Uyazi ukuthi thina sifa nges’bhilivane.” (You know that we deal with prove) I nod.

Me: “Ngiyacava, epantshi.” (Chambers) we all walk to my study passing bubbles drinking her green tea legs still shaking, I’m sure the tea is cold now she doesn’t even notice us as we are passing by.

Talon: “Zishaphi ngaye? Ubanjwe madimoni? Bamfikele abafana bomoya?” (What’s wrong with her? Does she have demons) the others laugh.

Me: “Nex mfana usathukiwe.” (She’s still in shock) we step inside my study, and I switch on the TV that’s on the wall it’s a good thing that I’ve installed hidden cameras in every corner of this house & yard, I never really liked them because I knew that no one would’ve dared enter my house, but Spikiri advised me to just for safety sake because you don’t know when the enemy might attack. Of which makes me wonder why didn’t he… Argh, almost forgot that he has passed on. I take my laptop from my drawer, and play them the video, I sit on my chair learning back, and put my feet on top of my thigh, and fold my arms before me. I like the fact that they are focused on the screen watching everything.

Well, Leon was the one who locked the gate when they left 15 minutes later 5 cars park outside my yard, and occupiers of four cars stepped out of their cars, and walk toward my gate. They fiddled with it, until it opened it’s like these people weren’t sure if I’m around or what. One enters the yard, and walk straight to my kitchen door checking the coast, he drops the handle, and the handle grants him access. He steps inside my house, and searches all my rooms then walk out to alert the others that is all clear. The door of the 5th car opens, and Adele steps out of it. She’s having a brief conversation with the man then she gives her a piece of paper, that was the code to my safe. She pats him on the shoulder, and the man nods then she walks back to her car, and drives off as the 2 other cars follow behind her. The remaining of these 4 men gets inside my yard laughing, then inside my house as one of them ascends the stairs coming straight to my study. His AKA 47 is hung neatly on his left shoulder he seemed really relaxed, but who wouldn’t if the house is a house to let? The others are busy messing up my kitchen eating my polony that I bought with my man as it is, he didn’t even try slicing it. The one is still struggling with the safe, and he goes back to join the others in messing up my kitchen without any care in the world, they are throwing Savannah dry jokes. Few minutes later one stands up, and comes to my study since Adele have been calling them none stop they seemed really irritated, but I job I job ayijiki.

One gets inside my study, and starts by messing it up, turning it upside down as if that’s not enough he drink my expensive whiskey straight from its bottle then he smashes it on the wall laughing, he seems proud of himself, then he walks toward my safe, and start punching in codes. The sliding door from the garden to my dining area opens, and into view bubbles appears.

“Whoa, is that…?” Lee ask pointing his finger outside the study. I nod. “What? You must be kidding me, and don’t tell me that she jumped the wall bruh!”

Me: “Jumping walls is one of her favorite hobbies, she’s a cat woman that one.”

Leon: “Shhh.” Mxm.

Bubbles tip toes toward the kitchen but doesn’t really come into full view, she takes a peak, and by the look of things she saw me, but I did not see her. She shakes her head, and ascend the stairs slowly without making an ounce of noise, she enters my study silentely that man didn’t see her. She taps him on his shoulder, the man turns, and bubbles punches him with her fingers grills he staggers losing balance, but he comes back and blows a swing at bubbles he hits her, and bubbles staggers back balancing her hands on the wall. The man struggles to take out his gun from his waist, but bubbles beat him to it. She fired two gunshots aiming straight at this guys heart, she stands there watching the man going down his hands placed on where he was shot. He couldn’t believe it, he couldn’t believe that a woman shot him. He lifts his arm, but he drops to the ground, and that’s when we all rushed upstairs, I guess she snapped out from her haze her instinct kicks in very fast making her to react instantly, and she fired shots at the man who was ready to kill her. The man goes down, and that’s when the third one appears this one was very much ready to shoot, another gun shots sounded, and he too fell down and his gun fired a shot in the ceiling. I hurried inside my study only to find bubbles standing there frozen hands shaking with the gun still pointed toward the door. She can’t believe that she killed all these three men, fucking three men in cold blood.

None of the guys are saying anything after seeing the video, they are in shock especially Talon he is shocked more than the others here.

Talon: “Yazini ungivale umlomo, yabona sukela nou ukuya ek’deni eyami uyitholile skhokho. Hhayi yena uyay’deseva, esami isgcoko ngiyasithula, ngisithulela yena yinja u lovey ibhekela phansi iphilele.” (Yah, you really shut me up. You see from now going forward she has gained my respect bruh. No man, she deserves it, I take off my hat for her, she is the best no more looking down on her)

Batista: “Salute. Uyimashisile inamba u lovey akadingi ukuhlangana ne hogo, mgcine njayami yewakho ke lo. Hhayi respect to her mfana, yoh. Enlek ngisathukiwe na nou.” (She did a really good job, she doesn’t need initiation, keep her. She’s yours. I’m still shock even now)

Leon: “The way she was holding that gun, and aiming her targets you can’t even tell that she’s not a professional, one will think that she’s a professional hit woman. I’m sold, I’m impressed.”

Me: “That was me hours ago. I’m still shocked.”

Batista: “Who wouldn’t be though? This is a shocker. What she needs to master is too kill without showing any emotions, but in this case is very understandable I’m sure next time she will do better,” as if the will be a next time, not when she’s with me.

Me: “I know. Masigcwaleni indlela.” (Let’s go). “Wait, who is remaining behind?” I look at all of them.

“No one. We are all going.” We all look at the door, and it’s bubbles she looks better now.

Lee: “Are you sure?” She nods.

Her: “And besides I want to see this Adele of yours.”

Me: “Very well then. Asimasheni.”

Talon: “Mina vele cela ung’cishele yena.”

Her: “Uzong’kgafa?” (Will you pay me)

Him: “Kanty why ungenza u debit order?”

Her: “Tell me someone who works for free in this day & age? Everything is money papa, pay up or you kill her yourself.”

Him: “Mara ntombi ka mfwethu ungangenzi so toe,” she laughs

and walks away. “TK awukhulume nento yakho skhokho, yabona manjer u Adele will finally meet her match, usazosha,” we all laugh walking out of my study.

LUXOLO

TK’s friends are now looking at me in a different manner, more like respect. I don’t know how to feel about this, I really don’t. Phela they are looking at me as some sort of a hero, and here I am seeing myself as a murder, I’m still shocked at the fact that I killed people, three bloody men in cold blood. I never saw myself being a killer, yes the excitement of being a mafia woman is there I just didn’t think that I would be killing people so soon, it never really crossed my mind. But it happened, unexpectedly, I killed them. The way my heart was beating so fast when I shot the first man I swear it wanted to come out, I wanted to vomit it, and by the time I shot the second one hhayi kwaba worse, then came the 3rd one oh, Jehova, all my insides wanted to come out of my mouth. Then I froze as if I’m watching a movie, and I’m the killer, well I am a killer in reality I can’t believe that I have blood in my hands, I don’t think I will be able to sleep the next coming days. I wonder how murders do it, like yazini. Sighs, and TK seemed really impressed by all that I did, well I was saving his ass.

We park outside club vixen, I remember how Sol used to tell me about this club, apparently it is the only club that we are competing with, it was always the top one, and people loved it. Well, that was until I started working in his club, and people started to flood in bringing in money, I don’t even know what’s so special about me. I’ve seen girls who have beautiful bodies out there, and knows how work the pole better than I do. But as my colleagues will say; “People will love you for three months, and you will be history” months later people still loves me, and the club is generating money all because of me. Wuhhhu, whoever is busy stirring my life please don’t stop until I live in Argentina, thanks.

“Bullet proofs bafethu.” TK tells them.

Lee: “All set,” I guess they are underneath their T-shirts.

Him: “Bubbles, bullet proof?”

Me: “I don’t need one I will stay here in the car, and check the coast for you.”

Talon: “Mara sakudinga phakathi mus, yazi ngifuna ukuthi ubheke u Adele emehlweni nawum’cisha. Yabo nawungangi cishela yena ngizokulandela I smovane,” (but we need you inside, you know. I want you to look at Adele in the eyes when you kill her, if you can kill her for me, I will buy you that car) I laugh.

Me: “As if. Let’s go ke.”

TK: “You want that bulletproof?” I scoff, and he chuckles. “Check under the seat.”

Batista: “I hope you are not giving her Spikiri’s bullet proof.”

Him: “I long got rid of those ones things.”

Me: “Found it,” I unzip my jumpsuit.

TK: “Just wear it on top of that jumpsuit.” It’s not as if like his friends don’t know my boobs. Thousands of men knows them, and they’ve caressed them. So, I don’t know what his problem is, anyway, I do as I’m instructed. “Good.” The others chuckle as I pull my balaclava down.

Lee: “Territorial already?”

Talon: “Ndoda I catchile ingwenya, hhe! Kubi. Ku bad, Ku blind.” They laugh, and we all step out of the car, and walk toward the entrance of club vixen the guards tenses as they see us approaching, they look very abnormal with their overly buff arms, yes. They remind me of Johnny Bravo, they are him with their stock sweet legs.

Batista: “These men look funny guys, they look like some cartoon I used to watch growing up.”

Leon: “I never watched cartoons so, I wouldn’t know who he looks like.”

Talon: “Me too.”

Him: “What exactly were you watching growing up gents? Or you guys didn’t have TVs back then?” I chortle.

Talon: “Eh baba, eh baba thina besicava abo Rambo nano Van Damme, not cartoons.”

Him: “Yet, you can’t fight to save your life skhokho,” he chuckles.

Talon: “Awucavi nex skhokho ngizokushubisela nou uve ngathi uyasha.” (You don’t know anything I can rough you up right now, and you will feel like you are burning up)

Him: “Unganya boy, unganya ntwana yami,” I laugh. TK & Lee are already inside the premises heading straight toward the very big double glass door, but the place looks empty I mean, there aren’t even cars on sight, I wonder yazi. Lee yanks the double door open, and some of the people quickly get up from their chairs, oh, the are people here, but where did they park their cars or maybe there’s an underground parking here. Oh, well, guess we will never know. We ascend the stairs soon as we come to view the are men (3) with guns pointing toward our direction bringing us to a halt.

“We came in peace.” TK tells them lifting his arms.

“Search them for any weapons,” one gives out an instruction. The two men come our way, and Talon already have his gun in his hand Phela Lee, Leon, and TK are the one who are standing in front, and we are behind them. One of the man starts by searching Leon, and that’s when Talon shoots at the light. I hear people groaning next to me, and I’m standing in one place trying to study my surroundings, but it’s too dark. And since I don’t know what’s going on, I’m forced to stand in this position until someone abducts me, I chuckle thinking about it.

“I wonder what humours you in this darkness bubbles,” TK says.

“Uhleka nama dimoni wakhe skhokho ngik’shayele ukuthy u lovey unama demon.”

Me: “I’m surprised that you guys are still breathing.”

Lee: “You want us dead? Ain’t you a cute little witch diamond?” I laugh, and someone pulls me by my hand that can only be TK.

Me: “How are you guys seeing things in the dark?”

Leon: “Special skills. You will know it one day.” I nod, and we walk for a few minutes until we see light. Oh, it’s an office, but it’s empty.

“Shit! She left!” TK says banging the table. I look around the office, and I spot a picture on the wall of a woman I guess that’s her, she’s very beautiful no lies about that, and she doesn’t look dangerous, but hey. You can’t judge a person just by looking at them, sighs. Guess we have nothing to do here but to leave, and for me to go, and prepare to go to work. We walk out of the club…

Lee: “She can run but she can never hide, sizomthola.”

Talon: “Injalo. Futhi ke singamuthi bhi somnika u lovey a deal(e) naye fast masinyane.” (It’s like that. And once we catch her, we will hand her over to Lux to deal with her fast) we all laugh.

Me: “Uyangithemba maarn.” (You trust me)

Leon: “We all do.” I nod.

Me: “Well, I feel like a president now nina ishu. Anyway, where to from here?”

TK: “We are going to rest.”

Me: “And I’m going to work.”

Lee: “You need to resign at that job of yours, TK will take care of you diamond.”

Me: “That’s the plan, and I will resign.”

TK: “You only have a month. A month bubbles.”

Me: “Yeah, right.”

SOL

Things are looking bad. My enemies are coming at me with full force, and with this war coming it will be easy for my enemies to attack me, and I also learned that I don’t have a long  life span, well, that I knew, but I did not think that it would affect me as much as it does now. I really need to get my things in order before my time ends, and I know exactly who can lead my empire, I trust her. She’s earned it.

“Are we still scheduled to go ahead with the plan as per instructed?”

“Yes, we are. The Cosa Nostra cartel have been notified. I think it’s time.”

Him: “We are still going ahead with the abduction?”

Me: “Yes, and we are left with 4 days to pull this off.”

Him: “Perfect. Bye.” He hangs up. I lean back, and listen to the pains I have a limited time left. Cancer is evil I tell you, but I’ve lived to see enough things. Now it’s time for me to rest, well, in hell obviously, sighs.
