The unexpected Fate: Gangsterism

Chapter 7

I flicked my eyes open, I'm in one of the rooms used for client's. Beauty was by my side, looking worried but her facial expression changed once she saw me awake. My face felt numb
Beauty: At last you're awake!
Me: How did I get here?
Beauty: We had to take you to the nearest room after you blacked out.
Me: What happened to those girls?
Beauty: They were given a tough punishment, gang rapped and you my friend you have a lot of explaining to do.
I looked at my clothes, I'm wearing new clothes.
Me: What happened after...?
She pulled out a chip
Beauty: What is this?
I'm caught off guard
Me: Tha-Thats a SIM card.
Beauty: I'm not stupid Tumelo. This is some spying chip vat vat.
Me: I got it laying around the house also
Beauty: You better not be lying to me.
Me: I'm not...I got it on the floor. Please don't tell Pablo about this
Beauty: You'll get yourself killed yaz, I better destroy this before he finds out.
Me: How do I look? Like my face...is it bad?
Beauty: One day ago you looked like wrong turn
Me: One da-day? As in 24 hours.
Beauty: Yes, you're getting better thou.
Me: Who changed my clothes?
Beauty: Me obviously. Only changed them today when I found this!
Showing me the chip
Me: I have no idea what or where it comes from really.
Beauty: I have to destroy this.
She got up and strode out the door
PABLO PICASSO
I haven't received my morning glory. I'm pretty sure Beauty is with Tumelo. She seems to be fond of the girl.
I made my way to the girls' room, she's been attacked by the other girls, that's something that rarely happens. I gave them a punishment for damaging her like that. Maybe it's because the girl is pretty...I don't know. I don't wanna know. What I care about is money that they are bringing and keeping them alive which is why I have a doctor for such cases. I walked to the room she was in, she was busy reading a magazine I cleared my throat, her eyelids lifted up then our eyes locked. She looked terrified when saw me then gave me a painful smile. She's trying too hard to hide her terror but I can see right through it
Tumi: Hi...I was uhhh (waving the magazine) reading the magazine...it's small. Like the words...(sighs) I am reading-ng
She held her mouth more like in embarrassment. She's so funny you know
Me: Where is Beauty?
Tumi: Uhhh dunno.
Me: Feeling better?
She nods
Me: Good coz today you'll be doing your first job. Be ready in an hour
I have to push her hard coz I see she's too soft. I left her and first went to check the kitchen for Beauty. There she is, chopping onions I think
I crept on her behind kissing her neck, I'm really hungry and need to be feed, when I shifted my gaze to what she was doing. This is not what I think it is, she's is trying to chop it, the same chip that looks like the one that boy Nico had. She's working with them. The SASS, this busturd is betraying me, she's one of those people who I trusted,
Me: What is this?
Beauty: Baby I w-
I put the gun on her forehead.
Beauty: Pablo please please calm down please
Then pulled the trigger.
"Blaaa!! "
I can't work with betrayers. I called my men to clean up the mess. I took the chip, went back to my office then inserted it on my laptop, checked the information that was there, there's information about the latest robbery and on pictures of people in the SASS working as special agents. I hate those people with passion
I scanned through the names
Siphiwe Fika, Kenneth Node, are working on my case, interesting.
Oh one interesting file written Witness, I opened it and there was a list of people who came forward as witness in the case of people who died in Khayelitsha. These people don't get the message, do they? I'm gonna show them not to mess with me. Nothing will block my way, these people need to get the message straight. I closed the lap top thinking of how I will go about this. Cairo may also have some ideas so I called him too. Cairo is my younger brother, he's literally the only family I have left and is also my right hand man. My advisor, together we make a great team.
Once he comes in, I opened the laptop for him to see.
Me: These are the people Beauty was working for.
Cairo: I still don't understand why Beauty would do this.
Me: For more money, these girls don't get enough
Cairo: I suspect that girl who was attacked by those girls
Me: Nahhh she's too naive for that.
Cairo: It's just something about her doesn't seem right.
Me: Leave her to me. I'll worry about her
Cairo: Just kill her
Me: That wouldn't be wise. Look, that girl is naive, innocent looking. She'll do well in transporting drugs for us because of how innocent she looks traffics are less likely to suspect her.
Cairo shaked his head sideways.
Me: Trust me on this one. We'll test her on one job then she can move to drugs
Cairo: A'ight, we'll see how it goes.
Me: Is the body disposed?
Cairo: The boys are on it.
Me: Great.

TUMELO
The door flew open, Cairo threw a blue overall to me.
Cairo: Wear that.
Me: wh...
Cairo:. I said bitch wear that overall stop asking questions.
He exited then I wore the blue overall. Minutes later Pablo walked in, a gun on his waist.
Pablo: Come
.
.
"Where are we going?" I asked as climbed into the car I was ushered to. The car had no number plate
Pablo: Can't you wait and see?
Me: Where is Beauty?
Cairo: Pablo you tell this motherfucker of yours to shut the fuck up! She's annoying with the endless questions
Pablo: Last time I checked I don't take orders from you.
I smiled on the side then looked through the window
Cairo: She's annoying like a fly bro
Pablo: Drive Cairo
Cairo looked at the review mirror, I glared back, he made his eyes small in a threathining way. Then started the ignition driving fast. We took a turn to Clifton, then stopped next to one of the beautiful houses.
Pablo took out an envelope and gave me,
Pablo: And this
He took out a cap and made me wear it. He smiled at me then started laughing
Pablo: You look a popaye
He continues laughing.
Pablo: See Cairo
Cairo looked at me and didn't laugh one bit, I could see the annoyance in his face.
Pablo: See those sharp ears sticking out.
I felt small. He's making fun of me.
Pablo: You're cute though.
He pinched my cheek while smiling
Me: What am I doing here?
He became serious again.
Pablo: You're the mail man today. So do us this favour and deliver this (looking at the envelope)
Me: What will I say? And how do...
Pablo: You'll figure it out, unless (he pulled out his gun, blew the sides) you wanna see your only family left gone.
Me: No need for that
Pablo: See that yellow house next to the big trees, that's where you're going. Don't mess up, and this (giving me a burner phone) is what you'll be using to contact us. Make sure it's always on, clear?
He raised one eyebrow, his green eyes piercing mine
Me: Yes
He smirked.
Pablo: One more thing try to hide your face, clear?
I nodded.
Pablo: Don't you have a mouth?
Me: Yes
Pablo: Good, now go.
I went out of the car, looked from side to side scared, crossed the road, and walked to the house. When I'm in front of the yard, I pressed the button at the gate then left the envelope at the mail box
The phone rang, I saw the car driving past me.
Me: Hello.
Pablo: Follow the car
Tuuu then it's dropped. It just turned the corner on the other side a person came out of the house. I quickly walked away, took one last glance, he took the envelope from the mail box.
I jogged up and saw the car waiting for me. I hopped in
Pablo: Well done
Blaaa!!!! A loud bang more like electric failure erupted. I took a glance, smoke is coming from the street I was at. My heart raced, what just happened.
Pablo: Cairo drive!
The car went by so fast, soon we heard police sirens. Arriving at some underground parking, Pablo pulled my arm and we got into another car, mercedes benz, when we left Pablo pressed something and the car that we left blew into ashes destroying the evidence.
We arrive at the headquarters. I walked out first, I fell like being alone, I know that something in that envelope did something. What if there were people there. I have to escape
I went to the gyming room, it's the only way to keep me sane. The door opened and j know it's probably Beauty
Me: Where were you?
I turned to look only to see Pablo.
Pablo: Take a shower and change those clothes. There's some where you need to be.
I don't protest but did as told. I went to take a shower, wore my previous clothes trying my best to avoid the girls. I noticed that theres a new girl in the group
Cairo opened the door. The girls smiled at each other excitedly
Cairo: Tumelo, Asanele and Zimasa
Cairo: Follow me.
The new girl went out so did I, Zimasa bumped on me when she passed
They took us to the mall, we had three body guards, Cairo being one of them and we given were given cash
Zimasa: I'lI show you what to buy.
We entered this lingerie shop. I had to escape this. I had to.
Me: Can I fit that one
I pointed at the red lingerie.
Zimasa: You will look like a mashmallow in that
She laughed
I went to the fitting room a Cairo followed me but waited outside the fitting room. Hope my plan works, I stayed there for a good 30 minutes till he came to check if I was there. The minute he pulled the curtain off I kicked his balls hard, he cronched then I ran as quickly as I can, the other bodyguards started chasing me. My jogging days finally paid off, if I was unfit I wouldn't be running like this. I ran out of the mall waved at a taxi. Right when I walked in the bodyguards where running out of the mall.
I watched them as the taxi drove off, catching my breath. I almost died back there
Taxi driver: How are you Tumelo Mahlasela?
