Years Later[still in past memory lane]
TRAFFICKING CHAIN
Ten year old Andy stood close to his father as he watched people on stage which where naked and tied up, they both old and young male and female black or white different races most of them hard bruises while some were okay or hard serious injuries the owner of the trafficking chain started bidding and many people got the slave they wanted.
But Andy stares at a young dark girl who continuously stared at him he wandered what was the little doing here filled with bruises and how old could she be, he obviously knew who his father was the illegal works of his father he knew them all and today his father told him he would be a man if he killed. That's if he got his first kill and secondly having a slave, an old man bid the little girl for one thousand Naira but Andy wasn't happy he wanted the girl for him self but because he was little he couldn't say anything, Marshal stared at Andy seeing that he had ab interest in the young girl he asked him.
"Andy do you want that girl?". He asked pointing the little girl
"Yes sir"
"Then why didn't you say so?
"Because am little"
"Little you say?". He forcefully held Andy to face him holding his jaw aggressively and anger boiling inside of him. " Andy what is it I always tell you? Huh? No matter how young you are doesn't stop you from having power or getting what you want and need even the Bible say it too , so go take what's yours
"Yes sir"
Andy walked closely to the man who bid the little girl and tapped the man on his waist, the old man turned staring at Andy in disgust but when he saw from afar that Marshal was also staring at him he put two together and realized this must be he son.
"What do you want boy?"
"I want that little girl"
"Funny how a little boy calls someone little"
"Am not little am a man"
"Hmmm sure sure sure if you say so little man", the man mocked Andy laughing at him.
"I said am not little I am a 'MAN', Andy screams out in anger. " now give me the girl
"Well look here little boy your little outburst don't scare me and just because your father is one of the most feared and powerful man in Nigeria doesn't mean I should fear you, now have some respect and scram." He raised his voice in anger.
Seeing that the man won't give in he turned back and looked at his father, Marshal came forward with a silver gun engraved with the name boldly written on it 'ANDY' in his hand and some armed men behind him.
"It seems like you are being to difficult Peter"
"I didn't do you any harm". He spoke lowly fear in his eyes
"Oh yes you did, he smirked at him seeing the fear in the eyes of Peter delighted him, " speaking to the heir of my organization in that manner is enough harm, so what did he asked for huh?"
"Marshal he asked for the little girl and I deeply apologize if I disrespected you I don't want any trouble"
"It's not me you should apologize to but him, and besides why don't you just give home the girl if you said you don't want any trouble"
"Marshal you know this is unfair and I got the girl first"
"Well he wants her now, so apologize"
"How can I apologize to that little t......" Before he could finish his sentence one of the guards punched him severely while Marshal handed the pistol over to Andy.
"This is what we do to those who disrespect us, now end him for you shall become a man"
Andy hesitated breathing in and out, now filled with courage he lifted the pistol up first aiming at the chest of screaming and horrified looking Peter he shot him ,the bullet pierced into his chest and he screamed out in pain moments later he aimed his forehead and shot him. Immediately Peter's body went limp all the men cheered and hailed Andy.
"Now this pistol in your hand is yours now it's engraved in your name Andy I would have punished you because you should not depend on anyone to step up for you but since it's your first time next time I hope you will step up for yourself and this is your first kill so you won't be punished welcome to the crime world now go take your slave".
"Thank you sir"
The little girl was forcefully thrown to the floor on her knees with her legs, neck and hands chained she faced the floor in fear, Andy lifted her face carefully
"What's your name?"
"I I ..... m", she stuttered in fear
"You don't have to be afraid, tell me what's you name?", Andy asked reassuring her.
"My name is Olivia"
"Olivia Hmmm Olivia Olivia, I don't like that name it doesn't suit you from now on your name is Jennifer, what did I say?"
"That from today my name is Jennifer"
"God now what's your name?"
"My name is Jennifer"
"Good you are Jennifer and you are forever mine."
