#NotEditedThe look on her face is of sheer terror. She is terrified. She looks at us then looks at her boyfriend on the floor. I think he is her boyfriend cause why would she show up here with him but the main thing that's troubling me is why does he have a gun. Msizi takes the gun from the guy then they pick him up with Collen. She looks behind her and sees kudjoe. Yes bitch. We are all here for you. We just want to hear what you have to say.
" Walk " I tell her
" Where...where must I.."
" Turn around and walk. "
She turns aroynd and walks to the living room where there's an empty chair next to her boyfriend who's cuffed there. She sits and Kudjoe cuffs her hands to the chair with handcuffs. She is fighting the tears that are threatening to fall. I pull the living room, drag it and sit facing her.
" What do you want from me? Jabu won't like what you're doing "
" Jabu doesn't know you're here. I'm the one who sent yOu that message last night and called you back " She gasps.
" But..."
" But nothing. What are you exactly? "
" I don't understand "
" let me refresh your memory then to remind you who you are. You're the bitch that turned on Jabu when the reason you're here in Joburg is because of her. She forgives you for hurting her but yet again you showed her again why youcan't be trusted. Yoiu invite her to your house then you go to the club and leave her there. Do you know what happened to her? " She just looks at me. All those fake emotions gone.
" I was with my boyfriend making out in the car. When we came back they were gone " This bitch says.
" You're friends drugged them and then they wanted to leave with them. Did yiou want her to get raped again? "
" Jabu can take care of herself. Who the fuck are you? Her spokesperson? " The guys and I laugh.
" I told you I'm your ancestors worst nightmare. Yours and everyone else that has ever hurt Jabu. They are going to pay staering with you."
" What? But I never did anything to hurt her "
" Wait, this chick was in all the pjotos from the orphanage right? "
" Yep. It's definitely her " Msizi confirms.
" You went to the orphanage? Why? Did something bad happen to Jabu? " She asks faking concern
" Don't pretend to be concerned. Who's this? "
" My boyfriend. He didn't do anything "
" So this is the boyfriend that showed up with his friends who drugged my woman? "
" Your woman? " She laughs. " Jabs is just a girl. She's no woman. What does she know about being a woman? " She says with so much envy.
" More than you'll ever know and be. You could never amount to be half the person she is. You're jealous of her. It's written all over your face. "
" Why would I be jealous of her? She's a fucken nobody. A thing to be used and casted aside. what is there to be jealous of? "
" That's your mistake. You think she's a nobody but shes not. Never ever call her a thing to be used and casted aside. However you. You look like that type. Is that why your uncle sent you to the orphange cause no one wanted to be stuck with you? " She flinches like I have just poked her hard. Good.
" You're the one who's a thing. No one wants you but everyone wants Jabu. They instantly fall inlove with her cause of her beautiful soul. Something you lack and will never have."
" You don't fucken know me " She screams.
" I know that you're a junkie. Look at your nose. It's bleeding. FDo you want a fix? "
" Fuck you! "
" You will eat those words "
" What the fuck do you want from me huh? Let me the fuck go or you'll be sorry! "
" On no. You're the one whos going to be sorry. What were they going to do with Jabu and her friend that day? " She looks at me void of emotions or anything.
" Look they were just going to have some fun with them. They we'rent going to hurt them "
" They drugged them you bitch!. Using a drug used to knock out horses. They were going to fucken rape the. Rape her again you dumb bitch! How can you do that? "
" I didn't know it was that kind of drug okay?. They just told me it was going to be sleeping pills thats all " Fuck this bitch
" You fucken knew what they were planning and you didn't care what was going to happen to Jabu again. To her friend. Didn't you see the trauma she wemt through? " God I just want to fucken punch her.
" I know okay. They are fine now what's the big deal? " The guys curse.
" Why did you want to meet with her? "
Her boyfrined groans waking up then he sees us and panicks. He looks at his hands and sees that he's handcuffed and his feet are held down by a duck tape.
" What...What the fuck is this? " He asks looking at us and sees Msizi with his gun then he looks at his girlfriend " I have no idea what she did. Whatever that is happening here has nothing to do with me. I don't know this girl. She's someone I met at the club then she asked me last night to accompany her to see her sister. I swear guys I don't know this girl "
" Siseko what the hell man! How can you say that! "
" Don't involve me in your shit. I should have never came here "
" He's the one who came up with the idea to go the club with his friends when I told him Jabs was coming with a friend. I knew they might spike their drinks but I didn't think they will hurt them cause I told Siseko to what had happened to Jabu "
" You should have never told him. It was none of your business! " I roar to her face. " Why did you come here with a gun if this bitch just what wanted you to accompany her to see her sister? What was the plan for when you see her? " I ask her boyfriend fool. He keeps quiet!
" Talk mother fucker! " Msizi tells him.
" He wanted us to kidnap her! " The bitch shouts.
" You stinking lying whore! You're the one who came with that idea. It was all hers man I swear "
" These two think I'm a fool. Coll want to play? "
" Awe ma se kind " He says grinning and takes out a knife from his pocket and flips it.
Kudjoe walks to the boyfriend and cuts off his jacket and t-shirt to pieces. The boyfriend's eyes are on the knife that is on Colls hand. Coll walk to him smiling like he's reassuring him that he's not going to huet me. I pull my chair back cause I don't want this fools blood on me.
" Meet my baby Pearl. She's been with me for years. She has saved me in so many situations and I have saved others and also killed using her. I love her so much cvause she's the best thing that has ever to me " Coll says describing his knife. We know how much he loves that knife. It might look like its old but Pearl in his hand is very dangerous. " I can just feel her slicing that skin like it's butter. Cracking your ribs then stab that fucken heart "
Thando's boyfriend screams bloody murder as Coll stabs him in his stomach. She joins him too and screams hysterically and cries. He pulls the knife out and blood oozes out.
" Please don't kill me man please!. I have a family I take care of "
" Should have thought about that before you messed with my brothers woman " Coll says then slices his ear off and blood splashes on his girls face and body. Siseko looks like he's going to pass out.
" Ok! Ok! I'll talk please stop " He begs us. Thando is literally shaking.
" Talk "
" Thando...she stole something and...and they want it back " What?
" Who the fuck stole what? " I ask the fool
" Thando said..."
" Shut up wena! He's lying. Don't listen..." I bitch slap her hard. Her legs go up as falls down with the chair.
" Talk mother fucker "
" Thando said....she said Jabu stole something and she has to have it back....cause they want it. They are after her and she.....she has to get it... " he passes out. It happens when you bleed too much.
" Jabu is not a thief. She would never steal! " Msizi pull Thando up to sit and I see something.
" You fucken bitch! You were going to frame her again! " He eyes go wide and she looks to her chest. " You stole the necklace that boy made for Jabu. You were going to frame her so they can come after her. That's why you wanted to see her! You bitch!. Uncuff her " Kudjoe un cuffs her.
She tries to run but I quickly grab her and throw her body to the table near by. She falls on it and breaks to pieces. I snatch the chain from her and throw it to Msizi then kick the hell out of this bitch. I use every strength I have and kick the shit out of her. That how angry I am. I kick her until the guys pull me back.
" Get her up. I want answers "
They sit her and she's in pain crying. Good now she know how Jabu felt every time she betrayed her.
" Why did you exactly pretend tolove jabu when you hated her? "
" I....cause they told me to. They pay me... to be their eyes and ears " she struggling to talk and coughs out blood
" Who paid you? "
" The Dlamini's. Whe...Zuki stopped being her friend mam' Dlamini told me to befriend so she can know what Jabu gets up to." Fuck that man and woman.
" What do they know? "
" Everything. I get paid to deliver information to them They know she is here but they don't know where she lives right now." She says.
" Why are theses people so obsessed with Jabu? " Msizi asks
" What do you know about Jabu? " I ask her.
" I know nothing I swear. Please I'm going to die. I need to go to the hospital " She says
" Oh no, you're not going to die. We are doctors bitch and we'll keep you alive for aslong as we want " Kudjoe tells her.
" Guys...You wont believe this? "
" What? " We ask him. Coll looks at me and gives me the phone.
My world stands still as I read what the message says. This can't be possible. I give Msizi the phone and they read it too. They are shocked as me.
" Tell me about what you know about Natasha and Thato trying to find Jabu's family? "
" I'm not sure if they found her family but I once heard Natasha talking on the phone that they can't find anything about her family. But when she saw me she said on the phone It's like she or they don't exist. I don't know if she was trying to throw me off but that's what I heard". The guys and I look at each other. "....But then one day I heard that when we were at the mall. Someone saw us with Natasha and they approached her. They asked her about who is Jabu cause she looked like someone they knew " God!
" and then what happened? "
" They exchanged numbers with that person and then I told the Dlamini's what I know. I don't know what happened cause then a few weeks later I heard Natasha on the phone telling Thato that when she tried to call the person his wife picked up and told him that her husband was hit by a car and she died "
" The Dlamini's did it. These people are more dangerous than we thought " I say. " But they dont know who they fucking with." I chuckle.
" What else girlie. Talk! "
" Natasha, Thato's mother and Mam'Dlamini are all somehow know each other and but I don't know how. When I asked Thato how they know each other he threatened me and told me to close my mouth or else he'll kill me " That makes some sense.
Jabu's life wstory is now beggining to make sense. What Mam'Mavis said and what this girl here is saying is making sense and it points to one thing. All three of these women know Jabu's mother.
" Please let me go. I have told you everything I need to know "
" So Natasha is coming after Jabu? "
" Not her but Thato. He's obsessed with her. He wants her back and he'll do anything for that to happen. He's a fucken psycho. He used to sleep with me you know. When Jabs refused to sleep iwth him cause she was busy with exams he came on to me and we would fuck but still he would still go back yo her! " She says.
" Cause you are a thing to be used. That's what you're good at. Jabu really loved you and cared about you but you didn't. You were'nt her friend. She was just a job to you." How the hell am I going to tell her this.
" Ok I'll tell you this too. Thato and his familyare into drugs. They sell drugs and they are also into heists. Natasha too sometimes goes with them when they do heists cause Thato's cousin Vusi, his girlfriend is the one that told me. One day I was stressed about my fees at the university cause I didn't get the NASFAS loan but Jabu asked Natasha to pay for my fees and she agreed and I really was thankful. I left then in the lounge and went to my room. I came back but something I heard stopped me. I heard Natasha telling Jabu that the house in Secunda, Natasha's house has a room full of money. That's why that door was always locked. Jabu advised her to dig a whole in that room so trhey can keep the money safe in there should it ever happen that the police come unexpected. Natasha was impressed...." I am also impressed that she thought that. " Jabu doesn't know that these people work withthe police and they wont do anything to them "
We all look at each other cause we know what we're going to do. We are going to take all that money. That where we're going to start.
" Who lives in Natasha'a house? "
" Vusi and his girlfriend. I'm sorry sir. I really am. I had to do what I had to cause I wasn't like her. I was jealous of her. She's beautiful, smart as hell and everyone wants her. What about me? "
" You never will be like her. The Dlamini will get a message that someone is coming for them. The Dlamini's, The kubheka's and that little boy Thato. All of them! "
" I will apologize to her. I'll tell her everything she wants to know. I will stop communicating with the Dlamini's. I am really sorry. Please don't kill me."
" You are right about one thing. You will stop communicating with those fools but they will get the message "
I take her boyfriends gun and shoot him with until its empty. She cries and pees herself. I take mine and point it to her.
" You'll never hurt the woman I love ever again " I shoot her point blank and blow her brains off as they splatter next to her boyfriend's dead body. The death of others though will be slow and painfull.
" We're sorry man about your woman " Kudjoe says.
" I can't believe there's no record of her. Jabu Ngema doesn't exist " I sit down and cover my face. Collen pets me on the back.
" Her name?, birth certificate and I.D numbers are all fake. How the heck did the department of education not see this when she wrote her matric exams? "
" It's obvious they paid someone to look the other way " Msizi says.
" Or there could be more people involved in this than we know " Collen says.
" I'm on it man. We will find out who Jabu really is. We wont stop until we do " Msizi promises.
" What do you want us to do with the bodies? " Kudjoe asks.
" Get the guys and tell them to drop off this bitches body at the orphanage. They know what to do. Move in and out quickly without being seen. This mother fucker must be driven in his car and burn him inside with it. I don't care where " They nod.
I take my phone and call uncle Rocco.
" Mshana ( Nephew ) "
" Is she okay? "
" She's still attending her classes. She's safe and protected. Don't worry "
" Thank you uncle "
" What's wrong? " This man knows me.
" Jabu is not her name. There's no record of her uncle "
" Oh mshana ( Nephew ). Maube you should talk to your brother and get your uncles involved? "
" No uncle. I want to deal with this with my friends. If we get stuck then maybe I'll let them know but I don't want to get them involved "
" I'll see what I can find out. It's going to be fine "
" Ngiyabonga malume ( Thank you uncle ) " I hang up.
" What's happening in that head of yours? " Collen asks.
I stand up and pick up the chain that used to be Jabu's. Somehow if feels wrong to even say that name. Why did the Dlamini's give her that name when they knew her life was going to mean the opposite of that name. I hate them! I hate those mother fuckers!. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I open my phone and go to my emails and look for that contact. I type an email to that person. They better read it cause they'll regret it if they don't.
" Bro? " Collen calls me and I look at him.
" There's somewhere I need to go " I look at the chain.
" You're not going there alone " Msizi says. " The guys are on their way. They know what to do. let's go "
" Wait for me to change my clothes "
Collen walks to one of the bathrooms taking hisphone and calling someone. I know who he's calling. We wait for him. He comes back after 10 minutes showered and changed.
" What? I knew someone was going to die and I came prepared " He says when we look at him. We laugh.
We get in the car and leave. Msizi drives us to the Alarie Household. The car stops in front of the gate an hour later. Msizi looks at me then grinns. He punches the code and the gate opens. They still haven't changed the code?. We drive in and park the car. They come out of the house running like someone is chasing them. They are carrying guns. It's two of those guys who used to drive Jabu and the other two I don't know them then the bitch herself Natasha and her nephew Thato.
I get out of the car raising my hands up. When they see me they cock their guns ready to fire at any minute. I chuckle.
" What the fuck are you doing here? How the hell did you get in? " Thato asks.
" It's very easy to get in here " I throw the chain at him and he catches it.
" So the bitch really did take it. Where's the engagement ring I gave her? " I walk closer to where they are standing and stop two steps away from him. His goons get behind him pointing guns at me. shouldn't they be in front of him making sure he is safe?. I chuckle. My friends are beside me not behind me.
" First of all tell those fools to stop pointing guns at us. Secondly don't ever in your life call my woman a bitch. And thirdly it was that bitch Thando who stole that stupid promise ring. You now have it. I wont tell you again little boy. Stay the fuck away from my woman. I wont say the same thing next time "
" You come to my house and think you can threaten me? Do you know who the fuck I am? " He says shouting. He points a gun in my face and I don't even blink.
" Ecoutez ici le fils de Leo Alarie. Si tu ne veux pas que j'envoie toncadavre a ton papa coupe en morceaux, tu resteras loin de ma femme. (Listen here son of Leo Alarie. If you don't want me to send your corpse to daddy chopped to pieces then you'll stay away from my woman ) " He takes a step back from me.
" Je n'ai pas peur de toi. Tu ne me fais pas peur ( I'm not afraid of you. You don't scare me ) " I chuckle.
" You should be very scared boy. Your aunt is. Look at her " He doesn't. I chuckle.
He's about to respond but his phone rings and he pulls it out and answers it. I smile as his face drops. He listens
" Oui papa je le ferai. je comprend ( Yes papa I will. I understand ) " He says then gives me the phone.
" Leo "
" Merci de m'avoir prevenu. S'il vous plait, Hudson, ne tuez pas mon fils.Sa famille materbelle l'a tellement foutu. Je veux que leurs griffes arrachent mon fils. Help Raphael restera loin de Jabu, je le promets. ( Thank you for warning me. please Hudson don't kill my son. His maternal family has got him so fucked up. I want their claws out of my son. Whatever you need to kill all of them let me know and I'll gladly help. Raphael will stay away from Jabu. I promise ) "
" I'm glad we understand each other Leo. We'll talk " I hang up and give him his phone. His goons have put their guns down.
" Leave " Thato says.
" Wena! Uzonya nabangani bakho! " I say pointing at Natasha who looks scared. " Lets go guys "
We get in the car. Collen decides to spin the car before we leave then he drives out with us laughing.
