Turning Table

Part 82

***The answers rest in THe mother***

I had tricked Ginger to help Nompumelelo escape, told her I knew where her daughter is, I only had faith that he motherly instinct will be powerful than her love for Oyama, I guess she took the bait because she agreed to help Mpume escape but that was hours ago, my mind is raising at this point I ain't sure if she agreed willingly or if she is playing me, my worry now is that they are other peoples lives at stake, innocent people, Lubanzi and Nompumelelo.

I try calling Muntu but her number is not going through, to say I'm surprised that she is special forces is beyond me, how could I have missed it? So along she was playing me?

" when Oyama held me captive forced me to work for him, Muntu was supposed to be the one that was going to put him behind bars, I worked closely with her right-hand man, Vuyo, but the day of the bust the plan just went sideways, Oyama's rival's decided to budge in and kill everything on site and that is how your husband got away and went into hiding"

Me: I don't understand if Muntu is special forces?  ... No man, I know her husband, her family, she married one of the big five... I mean the  Cape town gang leader"
Langa: I know, but the government was tired of hunting criminals that were  proclaimed ghosts, so they used an integration system that allowed the deadliest hitman or women to kill legally by opening up classified special forces team, my brother was part of that list too"

I ran my hands on my face, I look at Sandile and Selby they keep drinking and no words are spoken, they are stressed because we have not heard any news from Lubanzi who was supposed to wait for Mpume on the other side of the enemy lines,
" his car tracker is immobile now!... Mpume has 10 minutes max to make his way to the car..."
Zoe: 10 minutes? or else what?"
Langa looked at the plans... " this is the only safe passage that Oyama will use if he gets the chance to escape and it will lead him right to where Banzi car is... A man on the run, running from the bullets following him will do anything to  clear his way  ...."
Selby: Lubanzi knows he has 10 minutes window or else the guys will drag my son out of there kicking and screaming because I will be damned if I'm going to lose a son over that bitch! " 

He clicked his tongue and downed his drink, Zoe held her mouth and walked out of the room, while Langa followed her, I too walk out I need a smoke I can't think when I am this overwhelmed, I felt hands on my waist as I rested my head on his chest
Me: this is all my fault"
Him: off cause it is "
I turned and looked at him like what the fuck?
Him: you married that guy, I mean I ain't xenophobic or shit but damn women with all the South African guys you could have married you decided to marry a Nigerian man! What the fuck were you thinking?"
I dropped my mouth open and Sandile kissed my lips,
Him: I'm just playing with you, come  here "

He pulled me to his arms and hugs me,
Him: this will soon be over "
Me: it won't be over till I blow his brains off "
Him: and then what would you tell Zuku? "
Me: Sandile..."
I untangle myself from his hold,
Him: I'm not going to put a man's blood in your conscious uyangizwa!"

I was about to open my mouth when Selby walked in on us,
"May I steal him a bit "
I nodded, Sandile kissed my cheek
Sandile: call Mehlo it's high time she tells us who is Ginger daughter is "
I nodded as he walked out, I looked at my cigarette and immediately I thought of what Mehlo told me,
"the answers rest in THe mother"

I started smoking and dialed Mehlo's number
