The birth of Eric Kane (Episode two)

There were four police men with guns, one sat on a bench, two others roamed about with flash lights, the last one walked to Nonso

“Good evening” Nonso said

“Where you dey come from?” the officer asked as he flashed the light in the car

“We are coming from the cinema” Nonso said; the police man flashed the light on their faces

“Why are you flashing that light like that?” Nonso protested

“Who be this people with you” he asked

“What kind of question is that?” Nonso asked angrily

“Oga show for here ooo... this man no won answer question” the officer said

“What is the meaning of this” Nonso said; another officer walked to him

“Why you no won answer question” he asked Nonso

“Why would he ask me such annoying question” Nonso said

“I said who are these people in your car... Don’t provoke me ooo!” the first officer said

“This is my wife and son” Nonso said

“Where are your particulars” the second asked; Nonso opened the glove compartment and pulled out all the documents and handed it to them, they looked at it then handed it back to him

“Open your booth” the first said

“What is the problem with you people”

“Come on open your booth” the second ordered; Nonso pushed a button in the car then stepped down from the car and walked to the back and opened the booth for them to see, he needed to be smart so they don’t play a fast one on him, they both looked to see a spare car tyre

“You sure say na car tyre be this?” the first said touching the tyre, Nonso hissed

“Please remove your hand let me close this booth” Nonso said

“Are you trying to stop me from doing my job?” the officer protested

“No?” Nonso said

“Oya find us something” the second said

“I don’t have anything for you” Nonso said

“You have to drop something” the first said, Nonso was angered by that, he knew that was what they wanted but he wasn’t going to give them a penny

“Are you going to force me? Or are you now into robbing people”

The first officer immediately slapped Nonso… Trouble was about to be unleashed… 

“You slapped me?” Nonso was shocked; his wife came out from the car looking scared as she walked to them

“What is the problem? Nonso please give them what they want” she pleaded, she was scared knowing that her husband was vulnerable and these men were armed with guns and it was dark and a lonely path

“This idiot slapped me” he said angrily and the officer attacked him and a fight ensured, the second tried stopping the fight as the other two officers came quickly and the argument heated up

“How dare you hit a police officer” the third said

“Why would he slap me for refusing to pay a bribe, I will sue all of you” Nonso said angrily, they looked at each other; Shade already in tears

“You are not going anywhere” the first said holding Nonso, Nonso punched him in the face and they descended angrily on him, Shade screamed and cried

“leave him alone” she begged, one of the officers slapped her and attacked her. They beat up Nonso badly, hit him with their guns, kicked him and beat up Shade along then dragged them into the bush where they continued beating Nonso then smashed his head with a rock; in the process of the beating they had torn Shade’s clothes, they saw her attractive figure and then descended on her with lust and raped her to their satisfaction one after the other, she laid there almost lifeless as one of them drove his five fingers into her vagina in excitement, when they were done one of them shot her in the head

“What do we do with the little boy” the first asked

“We will abandon him in the bush and get rid of their car” the fourth said; they did as they had planned, took Eric into the forest and abandoned him there, hid the corpses of his parents and left

“Why don’t we just kill the boy… so nobody go fit trace us oh” the first said

“No leave am for here, nobody fit know anything” they fled the scene and took the car along; the little boy kept looking up a tree where he saw something that they did not see...
