Act Of Faith - Season 1 - Episode 13

• ” Okay , israel how do I start this? Should I go, Dear Adanna” I asked israel as I made to start the letter. ” Can’t you make it more romantic?” Israel asked taking a disgusting look at me. ” Okay, Dear love?” I asked again. ”

Nope , can’t you go like, My lovely baby?” He asked while I nodded my head. ” My lovely baby” I wrote down but tore the paper immediately. ” Adanna is a village girl, she isn’t use to all this baby stuff” I said while Israel bursted into laughter. ” Just write as you can” He said as he went to the small fridge to get a cup of milk. ” What if she tears up the letter when she sees it?” Israel asked. ” Dont say such things here, she can’t tear it” I said not confident in myself, ” What if she truly tears it?” I asked myself. ” Then I will kill her” I shouted not realizing it that I had spoken too loud. ” Kill who?” Israel asked. ” Am just rehearsing one of the characters in a movie I watched a long time ago” I said while Israel shook in pity for me. I started the letter body, I made sure I didn’t use strong words, although israel was encouraging me to. ” I hope to see your reply soon” I wrote and concluded the letter. ” I will post this tomorrow” I said to no one as I la!d on the bed. ” Goodnight bro” I said to israel who was lying on his own bed and playing some sort of games. ” Goodnight” he simply replied.

• The entire room was dark, I opened my eyes while still on the bed , I couldn’t see a thing because of the darkness of the night. I heard footsteps in the room and jumped up immediately but silently. I crawled to the switch of the light and put it on. I fell down as I saw israel lying dead in his own pool of blood, the same sword mark was on his waist region, the mark is actually a zig zag mark made by the edge of the sword which was Zig Zag. ” Israel ” I said in fear as I moved silently to his body. ” You are next” I heard a voice say behind me, I turned back and met Daniel dressed in black and was holding the sword, I remembered the man in black I had seen that morning of my coming back to Lagos. ” So its really you?” I asked in anger and fear. ” No time for familiarities” he said and advance towards me with the sword, I quickly brought out my small knife from my waist side to defend myself. ” What can your knife do?” He asked laughing almost immediately swung the sword to my neck side, I was fast enough to dodge. I gave him a back leg kick which pushed him backwards, he came towards me again, I jumped up with the knife to stab his chest but right there in the air, he cut me across my waist with the sword. Slowly I fell to the ground. ” Greet my forefathers for me” he said as he bent beside me and made to cut my abdominal region with the edge of the sword.


I quickly curl my leg across his neck and tightened it, the sword fell to the ground and we started rolling on the floor. Soon, he started bringing out blood from his mouth, I curl my legs tighter to his neck. To my surprise, he suddenly smiled with blood in his mouth and looked up at me. ” Wake up boy” he said and immediately I felt a sweet slap across my face. ” Idiot, wake up” I heard israel voice. ” Every night, you must act war firm in your dream” He said and he landed me another slap, I opened my eyes slowly and steadily like the slow and steady bus.
So who were you fighting with this time?” Israel asked laughing, I didn’t answer him as I stretched my neck in the direction of the wall clock , it was 6:15am. ” Can’t you wake me up without violence?” I asked him jumping up from the bed. ” I called your name up to ten times, I only decided to add violence when I saw you swinging your arms and leg ” he said laughing. ” I have posted your letter for you” he said. You might be wondering how we do send letters in Newriton, its quite easy. All we have to do is to put the letter in a small box located just in front of our lodge,every morning, the letters are being packed by trained post men, not just a post man. This men have different locations, so the one assigned to a particular location will take the letter posted there. They are always accurate and fast, we dont normally put the address from which we wrote from, that was to hide our identity. So if you wished to write back, you have to beg the post man to wait a day for you to compile your letter, the post men actually gives them the privilege to write back, it was their job to do so. ” Thanks” I replied as I went to the bathroom to bath. ” Gabriel, what’s wrong?” He suddenly asked me before I could enter into the bathroom, I took a deep breath and turned back to face him. ”



Nothing” I replied after a second thought as I turned towards the bathroom door. ” Hey bro, am your best pal here, you should at least confide In me sometimes.” Israel said again. ”


let me have my bath first” I replied and finally entered into the bathroom. I entered into the bathroom and undressed myself, I then put on the shower to allow the cool water of the morning touch my soul. ” What is Daniel reason for killing the people of Atata?” I asked myself as I bent down in the bathroom, I flashback to my dream and remembered the Joy in his face as he wanted to give me the zig zag mark with his sword. ” His he on some sort of revenge mission?” I asked myself again, this time I was bending down in the bathroom..” I will just have to spy on him” I concluded.


• ” Each and everyone of you have different roles to play in this mission, Gabriel, you are to act as a teacher, you must get an employment in the same primary school where Sir Jude Ike teaches, you guys can get close from there” Sir Ajan started for the day, I was putting on a white shirt covered by a black Jacket on a black tight trouser. With me were Israel, Young Carl, Daniel, Morgana, and Christian and Matt. ” I have done a clean background research on this man and have found out one of his weakness to be the love of girls, he has excessive love for young beautiful girls, and that’s where Morgana and Christiana comes in, make him love you, anything he wants, give it to him non stop, but always remember to be careful. ” Sir Ajan said turning to Morgana and Christiana. ” Israel, Daniel and Matt, you should always watch his house, always watch every movement in and out of his house , and also remember to be careful. Young Carl is only there to help you guys with any software problem, he isn’t allowed to die” Sir Ajan said and brought out some micro Earpiece from his bag. ” With this, you can communicate yourself anytime you want to, just press this green button to communicate with the others, press it also to deactivate communication. ” Sir Ajan said again as he gave us each an earpiece. ” Remember,there is no room for failure. Any question?” He asked while I rose up my hand. ” Sir you know I only have a secondary school certificate, how do I get employment with that?” I asked. ” Primary school gives employment to secondary school leavers, as a matter of fact, this primary school is just a developing one .” Sir Ajan said again while I nodded. ” Any other question?” Sir Ajan asked, this time, Christiana rose up her hands. ” Sir, what if this sir Jude Ike asks for Sex?” Christiana asked, ” Good question” I thought to myself. ” Then you give it to him” Sir Ajan replied without any stress or thought, I was surprised at that, how can he ask Christiana to have Sex with one sort of an old man, what Nonsense? Anyways its not my business,she isn’t my girlfriend. ” But always remember to protect yourself” Sir Ajan said again and walked out of the hall. ” Come together guys” Daniel said to us as Sir Ajan went out the hall, I looked towards him and our eyes met. ” I dont like that guy” Christiana said as she held my waist. “I don’t like him either” I said . ” Why?” She asked again. ” Because you dont like him” I replied. ” You flatter yourself” She said as we sat in front of Daniel who was moving his eye round the hall, yes, that is how serial killer move their eyes, they are always conscious of everything.



• ” Matt Hardy” I called as I went to Matt who was sitting in a corner of the Hall alone, actually his name isn’t Hardy, is real name is Mathew Osas. I only call him Matt Hardy because he fights like a popular wwe wrestler, Matt Hardy, yes, Matt fights exactly like him. ” Shawn Gabriels” He called back, my name of course isn’t Shawn, he also calls me after a popular wrestler, Shawn Michaels, yeah, believe it or not, I fight skillfully like Shawn Michael. ” Matt , do you know anything about serial killers?” I asked while he turned his chair to me. ” Serial killers are killers that kills Serially ” he said laughing, there is nothing he doesn’t jokes with. ” Does it look like am joking?” I asked with a serious face. ”

Okay, I dont know anything about Serial killers” He finally said turning his chair away from me again. ” Matt, you could have said that early enough” I said as I walked out of the hall. ” I know Daniel is the killer, so much secret behind him, only that I got no evidence to back it up” I thought to myself as I walked out of the hall and headed to the fighters lodge.

” Hey Gabriel, you promise to tell me what has been eating you up” Israel said the moment I headed into the room. Yes! Israel is the perfect person , he should know more of serial killers, he do read a lot. ” Israel, what do you think of Serial Killers?” I asked him while he stared at me blankly. ” I think they are people that kill serially” israel said while I hit my forehead. ” Got any problem with them?” He asked. ”

Nope, just that I do dream of being a serial killer” I said while he bursted into laughter. ” Little wonder you always fight in your dreams” he said as he bounced to the kitchen. ” Gabriel the Serial Killer” He shouted from the kitchen.

Just then our door alarm made a sounded, someone was at the door. The face of the individual appeared on a small wall screen in the room, it was Christiana, she was doing the face Scan. I touched a button nearby and the door opened slowly to reveal Christiana in a thick bomb short and Singlet, the real meaning of Temptation. ” You guys are playing here when our assignment starts tomorrow, you should be packing your things” She said as she sat beside me. ” we will pack at night” I replied.
• ” Sorry Mr Gabriel Omiyi, we dont employ secondary school leavers any more” The principal of Royalty Primary School told me as I sat in his office that monday morning, ” Oh my God, Sir Ajan never said I might not be employed” I thought to myself.

Title:Trouble
“But please sir, I am good at teaching, I have taught up to five primary schools before” I said as I sat in front of the principal of Royalty primary School. Yes, the mission has begun. It started this beautiful Monday morning, all those involved in this mission had actually packed out of Newriton yesterday except Young Carl. I now stay in my bungalow located somewhere in Lagos state,

Iyana Ipaja to be precise and luckily, the primary school sir Jude teaches in is located in Iyana Ipaja but his house a bit far from there.

Christiana and Morgana stay together in a rented apartment in the same Iyana Ipaja. Israel, Matt and Daniel also stay in rented apartments, not together, they live separately. The reason for choosing rented apartments was just the simple fact that their houses weren’t nearby. Young Carl isn’t needed yet, so he still stays in Newriton. Sir Ajan had talked to us the previous day being Sunday, he gave us some tips on how to go on this assignment. ” As much as I hate to say this, I wish you guys good luck ” he had said at the end of his class.
” Mr Gabriel Omiyi, Royalty is different from other primary schools you might know, we dont employ those with just Secondary school cert. We can’t take you” he said again, he was impatient this time. ” But sir, am..” He interrupted me. ” Mr man, you aren’t qualified to teach in Royalty primary school. ” he said again as he knotted his tie. ” why dont you just test me?” I asked him. ” Even if I test you and you are qualified for the job, I won’t still employ you because of your certificate.” He replied. ” Now if you dont mind, you may leave my office” He said pointing towards the door. I stared at him for some minutes before standing up and walking out slowly towards the door of his office, the time was just 7:30am, the day was just starting. I walked out of his office and went towards the gate, I was about stepping out of it when I noticed a small beetle car pull over in front of the gate, in the driver’s seat was Sir Jude Ike, what a wise man. I walked pass his car like I had no business with him, I then headed for my bicycle chained in a corner of the street.


I climbed on it and rode home. My house isn’t that type which depicts am a spy, as a matter of fact , it looks like any other house. There isn’t any security face scan or card activating door, not even security cameras. There is only a big black gate in front of the house. In the compound is a small farm, a tomato farm, I actually love farming. There isn’t any car in the compound, I haven’t bought a car yet but there is a power bike, a power bike and two bicycles. I parked the third bicycle beside the two which have been chained to an iron in the compound, I then went into the main building. The inside of the bungalow is well furnished like that of a Bachelor, the sitting room has a glass centre table surrounded with chairs, cushion chairs.


In a top corner of the sitting room is a big screen television, and below it is a decoder and a music player. The dinning is like any other dinning, a big glass table surrounded with glass chairs and a small refrigerator. There are just three rooms in the house, each room with their own toilet and bathroom, the rooms are also well furnished.

There is a general kitchen just beside the dinning. ” This is the beginning of failure” I said to myself as I fell into one of the cushion chairs. I took a look at the foolish application letter I have drafted and out of anger, I tore it into piece. ” Foolish principal” I shouted as I got up and approached my small fridge in the dining. I took out a can of malt from it and took a little sip. ” This is just a waste if time” I said to myself as I looked at the white long sleeve shirt I was wearing, I remembered it had took me hours to straighten this shirt. I pulled off the shirt angrily and went into my room to change into something light, I then la!d on the bed to cover up for the short sleep I had last night.

•I changed into a white short and black top, took my small camera and dipped into the pocket of the white short, I then went into the compound. I looked at my three bicycles critically before deciding to use the black one, I loosed it from its chain and out of the compound into the lonely street I rode humming an old love song by Dr Victor Olaiya. It was the evening of the same day, a cold and peaceful evening. I rode my bicycle down the lonely street, I had no where in mind, I just wanted to feel like the bachelor I am. I had finished rounding the street for about three times when I decided to at least have some fun.

I changed the direction of the bicycle which prevented me from making my street tour the fourth one. I actually happen to be a bit familiar with the area, the reason wasn’t far fetched, I always do come stay in my bungalow house whenever we were given day off or holidays at Newriton. With that, I have been able to get a bit use to the area. At times, the holidays get more interesting when Israel and Matt decide to spend theirs in my house, we do go chill at a bar towards where my bicycle was heading now.


I parked my bicycle outside the noisy bar, guys could be seen smoking at every corner of the bar, where two or three smokers are gathered, a girl must be in their mist. At most corners, girls could be seen occupying the laps of some of these smokers, while at other corners, the girls could be seen dancing for the guys, I just can’t understand what gives them pleasure in this kind of life.
