Call me Oga

Chapter 23

"They are coming out of the underground tunnels. Get the cars ready and wait for my instructions." Mpho yelled through the intercom. His little sister looked so scared and helpless. He had to get to her before anything else happened to her.

Mpho was a few feet away from Thabiso. The mad man took off sprinting the second he saw Rita. Luckily Lisa and Xolani were right behind them making sure they were not in any danger.

"Thabiso!" a woman's voice echoed in the shaking room. It was Rita and she finally saw them. She lifted her head and saw Thabiso charging at them.

He was here he was coming for her. Rita dug her heels in and started clawing at Thomas's hand. She has to get free and run to her man. He was here for her. Her whole body beamed at the thought of him. She knew he loved her just as she loved him.

He was just as into her as she was into him.  Her head was screaming "my man, my man, my man." Even in a life or death situation the man looked freaken hot. His eyes held on to hers as he charged to her. He wanted to touch her so badly. Hold her in his embrace and assure her that she was safe.

As they turned into the underground parking area Thabiso was running like a mad man. It felt like his feet were not even touching the ground. He was on full beast mode. He was going to kill anything that moves between him and Rita. He didn't even care who saw him. He had his hand on the his hip and was ready to blow Thomas head from his shoulders at any moment.

"Thabiso is here set up and get ready." Thomas said picking Rita up and securing her legs. She dangled off his shoulder like a wild animal trying to get loose. She was kicking and screaming the whole way. Her fists landing on his hard back and Thomas was not even flinching. "Stop with the wiggling around. I am might drop you!" Thomas said but Rita was not relenting. She definitely saw Thabiso and her big brother. There is no way it wasn't them. She was saved.

"Thomas let me go I am sure Thabiso will forgive you. You guys are blood." Rita said pleading. "You're right about one thing he is my blood and I know how my blood takes betrayal. He is going to kill me." Thomas said waking faster.

"They will be out from the underground area in five minutes or so. Get her out!" Mpho yelled orders to his brothers. As soon as the entered the parking area a group of armed men waited. Mpho knew it would not be easy to get out but Rita was going home with them.

The gunned man starter shooting and Mpho ran for cover. He couldn't see where Thabiso ended up but he had to make sure that he was alive to save Rita.

Mpho positioned himself and started shooting back, these armatures knew nothing about aiming and firing. They just shot everywhere blindly. Mpho places his gun on his left hand for stability and shot at the guy nearest to his left. The guy yelled out and thudded to the ground. He was on a roll now, one bad guy, two bad guy, three bad guy! Mpho smirked at himself, maybe in another life he could have been a police officer.

He peeked at his right side and Thabiso was there shooting and beating the life out of the goons. Rita was too far for Mpho to see but he trusted that Thabiso would get to her. His brothers were also waiting outside.

"Thomas!" Thabiso yelled as he fought like a berserker in rage mode. He was shooting at everything that moved and only saw Rita's tears. "That pig better let her go if he wanted to live." Thabiso thought to himself.

Left kick to the chin and bullet to the head. Spinning kick to the head and bullet to the stomach. Co-ordinated and perfectly calculated moves. Thabiso was in his element. He was showing the whole underworld why he had to be feared. He was sending a message to all who even thought of challenging him that Oga was  not to be messed with.

"Get her in the car!" Thomas yelled. He could see the blood bath quickly approaching him. He knew his cousins rage but he had never witnessed it firsthand. "Boss maybe we should leave her." One of the goons pleaded. "Are you craz!!! We are not leaving without her." Thomas yelled pushing Rita into the car.

"Please let me go Thomas! There is no getting away!" Rita yelled. Rita could see her freedom so close but yet so far. She felt a cloth around her face and her sight got blurry. "Thomas." She tried to scream but she was fading away. "I am sorry Rita." Thomas said laying her on the seat next to him. She was unconscious and it was better that way. Thomas didn't have the strength to fight her and Thabiso. The car sped off and Thomas felt the knot in his stomach starting to loosen. He was going to make it.

"Drive faster!" Thomas yelled at the driver. He couldn't see Thabiso but he knew he was in pursuit. The man was unstoppable if he wanted revenge he would burn down the whole city. He would have to secure the deal another way but for now he had to get out of here. His uncle probably knew about his failed mission. Thomas had to come up with a plan and soon.

Within minutes of exiting the terminal the driver was shot in the head and the car veered off the road. Thomas stood and quickly got hold of the steering wheel and mnauvioured them to a less critical stop. The car veered off and hit a tree. Thomas felt his body lift and pain pierced his body. He saw some light and then darkness.

Thomas felt sharp pain travelling through his body. His head hurt and his eyes were heavy. One eye shot open and then another.  He wiped his face with his hand and it was left crimson with blood.

He was injured but he didn't know to what extent. He forced himself to stand and luckily his legs didn't break. He look around him and saw that he was a few feet away from the jeep. He must have flew out the windscreen. He limped to the jeep and stopped in his tracks as he saw a car stop near it.

A group of armed man came out of the car and pulled the doors open. Thomas felt his heart beating faster. They were the rogue soldiers he heard about. He had to get to Rita.

He felt adrenaline pumping through him. All the aches and pains disappeared in that moment. Rita was innocent and pure he would never allow these vagabonds to take her and do unthinkable things to her.

He was about to kick into action when he heard one of the guys saying "we found Rita. She is bruised but alive." The man said lifting her out of the car. Thomas took a more serious look at the men and he saw that they looked like Rita, especially the skinny one. Thomas stayed put in his hiding place and listened for a while. The men were her brothers and they were taking her back home.

Thomas exhaled and started walking in the opposite direction. He had to come up with a plan and get his son back. He never wanted to betray Thabiso but his son's life was on the line.

Rita woke up to the soothing voice of her mother singing her a lullaby. When she opened her eyes she was sure she had died. Her mother was wearing a white cotton dress and had a halo around her head. "Ma." Rita said in a hoarse voice. "Rithabile." Her mother crocked and started crying.

In a few seconds the room as full. Her brothers and father were there and a few other faces she didn't know. She looked around the whole room and he wasn't there. "Thabiso?" Rita said. "He is outside preparing our flight out of here." Xolani said. Before Rita could ask more she felt a deep sleep take her over and she went back to the darkness.
