I can't believe this was all Kenneth's plan, I mean who does that? I was scared and to make the matters worse i couldn't help myself I couldn't even defend myself when I was attacked, i really need to do some training
"So Mike,is this what Kenneth suggested to you?"
"Yeah but it was my idea, we wanted you to have that urge where you would want to learn how to fight and defend yourself in cases such as the one that happened this morning"
"Wow you people are just too dramatic, why wouldn't you just give me a call or just tell me on my face rather than faking my kidnap and creating a scene?" I ask because it's all unbelievable
"Well that how we okay sometimes, you weren't hurt and at least you know our motive as per now"
"Well okay, at some point i thought that the security at my place was breached?"
"Well you have good security system, no one can dare go in there,i assure you that, plus i planned all this with your watchman, glad you ordered him to drive your car and park it outside, it made my work pretty much easier than i thought"
"You people are so evil, i mean why all the strain?" I ask still confused
"You'll learn that as time goes by, all you need is to have the knowledge and a clue of what fighting entails, and by the way we should be attending gun shooting lessons, you would love that won't you?"
"Yeah of course but I didn't think it will be this early, i wasn't prepared for this"
"Well the earlier the better plus I'm sure the more you delay the more you waste time, gun shooting doesn't need any preparation it's just a necessity for you to prepare you mind the rest will flow"
"Yeah you right but Ken owes me an explanation dude got me scared the hell out,you don't wanna know what i was thinking the time you made me black out"
"Haha i understand but i think i should teach you something crucial and necessary" Mike says and i nod
We are apparently at the basement of his training camp, the room is equipped with all sorts of weapons, there are different kind of guns,the hand riffles, the AK47 and other types that I'm yet to know. Mike leads me to the the next empty space,we've been practicing for the past few hours and to say I'm exhausted is an understatement,I'm actually feeling like crap but this is the last training in going to do before i drive myself home,i can't wait to sleep on my bed.
"Well i want to teach you one way you can defend yourself from your attacker, sometimes it depends, there are those guys who will attack you and they are bigger in size or bodily,some might be talk or shorter than you but you don't have to let your enemy's body size intimidate you, first you have to believe in yourself second you should avoid fear at all costs,that will only drag you backwards" he says and i only nod in response and encourage him to continue with his explanation.
"So when the enemy is holding you and you're under him/her just try and use your elbows since your legs will be wobbling and won't have the strength to fight back,if it's for a guy try and kick him in his balls with all your might,that's a weak point to men,he will release you from his grip and when he moves to touch his balls because of the excruciating pain,take that as an added advantage and kick him hard on his face of his head,try aiming for the delicate parts since those might knock him/her out"
"Wow quite impressive but what if the person is holding both of my hands in the position that i can't move my elbows to hit him?"
"Good question,well if the person is holding both of your hands,then use your legs because most of the strength will be in the legs,but let me tell you one thing, you might see some skinny guy or lady and underestimate them,those type of people are kinda tough and can hit you really hard, first time don't underestimate your enemy"
After he's done with the explanation,he goes ahead to teach me some of the moves which i thank God I'm not always a dander head, i grasp most of the moves,that's an added advantage to me because we will be done with this fighting training soon, like they always say, the sooner the better.
"I think we done for today,we will go for the gun sessions tomorrow after the training or we can choose to make one of the weekends just a day for gun shooting,what do you say?"
"I have no problem with that, i guess that will work for us"
"Okay,I'll drive you home,i don't trust people with the kind of business I'm doing,you do know that gun dealings us illegal right?"
"Yeah of course I do" i say as we use the underground way to get back to his house
"Good it's only that Kenneth is my guy otherwise i wouldn't have brought you here,this is my secret home,i hope you won't go around yapping"
"Really now,I'm a grown ass woman,why would I go out there and tell on you, i might be childish but not to that extend,i have my limits"
"Okay thank you, let's get going then"
After Mike makes sure I'm at my gate,he hops out of the car and closes the door behind him.
"See you tomorrow at the same time,I'll pick you at the junction don't be late keep time" he says after i lower down my window and i only nod.
I watch him as he walk towards the pathway as i wait for the gate to be opened, just as the gate opens, i hear the sound of a gun shot,i raise my brows and i see Mike running from the other side, he has a gun in his hands and he's aiming at his attacker while running backwards, he notices that I'm still at the gate and he motions me to move in quickly with his hand and i don't waste any time,i drive as fast as I can.
I'm the compound a few seconds later,the gate us automatically closed behind me and i sigh a heave of relief, i try to take some deep breaths because the rate at which my heart is thumping in my chest is alarming. After I'm calm, i take a bottle of water from the seat and gulp down a few sips before i finally take out the ignition key, I'm too tired to drive the car onto the parking lot.
My car window is tapped and i lower down the glass window, it's my watchman.
"Hey madam is everything okay"
"Yeah, no i mean yeah" i answer him as i try to act calm and composed
"You seem nervous and you look tired, is everything okay?" He asks and i wish I could tell him what has just happened but I can't risk when Mike clearly told me to shut my mouth
"Yeah everything is fine, just little bit tired because of the training"
"Okay sorry for bothering but i heard done gun shots and then you just drove in quickly i wanted to check if you're okay?"
"Yeah some goons were shooting at each other, i had to rush in,i couldn't risk my life going out of my car" i say as u pick my water bottle, my phone and i step out of the car. "Please park this car for me on the parking lot, and make sure it's clean I'll use it tomorrow morning" i say as i have him over the key
"Okay madam"
I leave him behind and walk towards the main house,it's almost three o'clock in the evening and in sure Alice and Mariana are in the house. I use my key card to swipe on the door and i enter the house.
It's unusually quiet calm.
"Alice! Alice! Mariana!, Where the hell are you guys? I'm famishing" i say as i plop myself on the couch but surprisingly i get no answer. I call again but there is no response
"Maybe they're not in the house or are in the back yard" i say to myself, i walk to the dining room, the food is in the large hot pot, i open the lid and a smile forms on my lips,my favourite, fried rice and chicken soup.
"I'll just take my shower and eat later" i say to myself.
I pick my phone,the water bottle and the headphones from the table, i walk out of the dining room.
When I'm just about to enter the living room, i notice a figure seated on the couch, he is facing away from me so I can't really know who he is,my heart is thumping in my chest i can hear my heart beat.
"Who is this person and how did he enter my house?" I ask not knowing I said it aloud
