( continued )
We pulled up in front of the house. Menzi fiddled with some remote type of thing and with that the gate automatically opened and Menzi drove in. We got out of the car. Menzi used a crow bar to break open the door. It opened we got in. The lounge looked different somehow even the furniture was different but it all looked unkept and dirty. " Zamo!, Focus! " Menzi snapping me back to the task at hand.
Menzi: listen ill go upstairs to check what i can "steal" and you will check the rooms here and remember the aim is not to get anything heavy just something valuable this is all a front after all. I nodded in agreement and parted ways. He went upstairs and i went to check the lounge and then proceeded to go to Sthe's room i dreaded that part but had to shake it off. I went in and looked around and searched his drawers found some watches and took them. Went to his closet looked around found an ipod and his tablet i took that as well. I was about to go through more of his things when Menzi came rushing in almost giving me a heart attack.
Me: Menzi you scared me.
Menzi: sorry babe listen i have good news and bad news which do you want first?
Me: good news.
Menzi: ok i found a copy of your father's will and it names you as the sole beneficiary. I guess thats why Thandi wants to kill you maybe she will inherit everything automatically if you are dead.
Me: wow babe oh okay and whats the bad news. His face went serious.
Menzi: dont be scared but my contact told me that Thandi is making her way here it was a decoy so we need to go look for you dad right now we dont have much time.
I nodded and followed him out we went down the passage looking for any locked doors, "i found it! " i ran over to him he was standing at the top of the stairs leading to a locked door. It was locked from the outside.
Menzi: i bet you a 100 bucks your father is behind that door.
Me: baby that's a bet im willing to lose. We smiled at each other. Then went down the stairs.
Narrated
Thandi was in her car with two huge ugly looking men. It was her hitmen, she was driving they sat at the back and a lady sat in the passenger seat.
Thandi: well well i see my two little mice fell for my trap hook line and sinker.
Lady: you so clever boss lady
Thandi: shut up Zoe!, she snapped
You could have ruined everything with your stupidity. Was there no other excuse you could have used to get into that house besides being pregnant.
Zoe: i couldn't think of any strong ones boss that was the only one i came up with.
Thandi: mxm at least you had some time to plant the bug that will let me hear everything they are planning, seems you are good at some things more than others. Zoe looked down and kept quiet. " They are gonna get whats coming to them". She then instructed the hitmen to keep a close eye on Menzi as he was more dangerous.
Thandi: i didnt become as powerful as i am and well connected as i am by using my privates i used my brain ntombazane( girly ). They continued their drive to the house.
Nomfundo
Menzi finally broke down the door and we went in. The place looked like a mini apatlrtment complete with a little kitchen area living room area and a bathroom and toilet. Then i saw the bedroom area. On it was my was my dad. Wow i finally get to see him after all these years. My palms started to get sweaty my knees felt wobbly my mouth felt dry. Menzi came and gave me a reassuring brush on my arm. I went over to him, he was sleeping with headphones on no wonder he didn't hear the ruckus we made when trying to open the door. I stood at the foot of the bed and just stared at him, tears filled my eyes. Menzi went over to his bedside and gently shook him and he opened his.
Dad: kwenzakalan ungibani wena( whats happening who are you )
Menzi: baba ngilethe indodakazi yakho uNomzamo( ive brought your daughter Nomzamo)
Dad: Nomzamo wam? The look on his face melted my heart. Menzi helped him sit up to face me his face was beaming when he saw me he opened his arms for me, i just ran to his bedside and collapsed into his arms. " Baba" i cried. Holding him tightly.
Dad: awi Somandla ngyabonga( thank you Almighty) after all these years of pain and suffering i finally have my Nomzamo. He squeezed me tight i was so happy i just had no words only tears of joy.
Menzi: im sorry to break up this emotional moment but we have to go its urgent! His face waa serious i knew what he meant.
Dad: hai ndodana ( no son) we cant go yet Thandi has to see that my daughter is alive and well she was wrong all along heee Nomzamo you are so grown up and beautiful jist like your mother he smiled.
Me: baba uThandi... Then i heard someone clap their hands slowly we all turned to look. It was Thandi. Menzi drew out his gun.
Thandi: i wouldn't do that if i were you sweet lips. Two ugly scary looking big men walked in behind her with their big guns pointed at us.
Thandi: how cosy is this so when the cat's away the mice play happy family kumnandi ukuba yini ne( its nice being you hey)
Dad: Thandi kwenzakalani uNomzamo lona(whats going on this is Nomzamo)...
Thandi: Shut up you old fool, she snapped back at him. " do you think i dont know that?! If this little brat of yours stayed dead i wouldn't have been forced to do all this. Grab her!! She pointed at me and this nast looking guy came to grab me Menzi wanted to do something but the other guy came closer with his gun.
Hitman 2 : you move i blow your brains out!! Menzi stoo still with his gun down.
Thandi: so a certain lawyer met with a very unfortunate accident and he was carrying a certain Mr Khumalo's last will. The original of course, its a pity though that both went up in flames and are ashes now. So me being the clever woman i am i got another will drawn up, making me the sole beneficiary of course and you my dear husband are going to sign it.
Dad: Thandi have you gone mad what the hell is all this? Im not signing anything.
Thandi: are you sure about that? Unless you want to watch your daughter die for real right in front of your eyes. The guy who had grabbed me shoved me to my knees to kneel before Thandi while facing my dad. I felt something cold and metal-like against my head. I just knew it was a gun. I tried to reach for mine but when i looked at Menzi he signalled No, so i left it instead i said a silent prayer i just knew none of us would come out of this alive. Suddenly the room felt cold i was wearing a leather jacket but i felt the cold the extreme cold everyone did. What is going on?
