LIVE BY THE GUN, DIE BY THE GUN!

chapter 52

At the warehouse:

Khwezi

We were seated on the couches that we found in one of the rooms. I guessed we would be safe in here since this place had a lot of guards rooming outside. We sat in silence, taking in what had happened earlier. I couldn't be Manqoba lied to me about him being a businessman. And I couldn't believe that I believed him even though our house had guards carrying guns.
Phiwo: "Are you ok, friend?" I sighed then looked at her.
Me: "Did you know?" She looked at me in confusion.
Phiwo: "Know what?"
Me: "That they are gangsters." She moved over and sat next to me.
Phiwo: "Yes, I did, and they're not gangsters. They are Mafias." I shrugged my shoulders and rolled my eyes.
Me: "And you didn't tell me?"
Phiwo: "Khwezi, it wasn't my place to tell you. Sphe promised me that Manqoba would tell you sooner or later."
Me: "Well, he didn't. " I said sarcastically.
Me: "When did you find out about this?"
Phiwo: "I didn't find out anything. Sphe told me before our relationship." I nodded. I looked at Elihle, who was on her phone.
Me: "Wait, you also knew?" She shrugged her shoulders, looking at me.
Elihle: "Of course, I knew. They're my brothers." Wow! I was the fool! Interesting...

We sat again in silence when I realized that Phiwo was still looking at me.
Me: "What?"
Phiwo: "Do you want to talk about what happened in the kitchen?" I sighed then shook my head no. What Ndalo said wasn't entirely true. I just didn't like the fact that Nomhle got to carry Manqoba's heir, and I didn't as his soon to be wife. I loved Mpande. She was very beautiful with her long eyelashes and her cute dimples, which she probably got from Manqoba, and I loved her. And I knew that Nomhle still waited my man, and she would do anything it takes to have him.
Me: "I love her as my own." I spoke after a long period of silence. Phiwo looked at me and gave me a hug.
Phiwo: "I know you do." The words I needed...

Ndalo

I was at home and on my laptop, trying to hack into the phone number that sent Manqoba that message. However, nothing was working. Mxolisi walked in with someone who looked like a younger version of him, who i assumed was Manelisi. I looked at him then and Manelisi.
Mxolisi: "Sorry, he wanted to come." He said, rolling his eyes. I stood up, and Manelisi attacked me with a hug, which I obviously didn't return.
Mxolisi: "She doesn't do hugs, idiot." I gave him a little smile, and we sat down.
Manelisi: "Haw makoti. Unjani?" Makoti? Maybe I didn't hear properly. I should get that checked out.
Mxolisi: "What's all of this?" He said, referring to the laptops and the scattered papers on the table. I sighed.
Me: "Im trying to find my niece and the people who took her."
Manelisi: "She's kidnapped?" I nodded my head. Mxolisi and Manelisi looked at each other, probably having their conversation, which made me roll my eyes. After a short while, Mxolisi spoke.
Mxolisi: "We can find her."
Me: "Really? But I've been trying all day."
Manelisi: "Don't worry, makoti. We will find her. All we need is her scent."
Me: "Scent?"
Mxolisi: "Yeah, probably a piece of clothing."
Me: "We can get that at the baby mama's place. Let's go." We stood up and walked towards the door.
Manelisi: "Who's the father, anyways?"
Me: "Manqoba, apparently." Manelisi looked at Mxolisi, who rolled his eyes in annoyance and probably digust.

This should be fun!

At Nomhle's apartment

They were all still at Nomhle's place. I walked in with Mxolisi and Manelisi following me. Baba and Richard stood up, and then the others followed.
Baba: "BoZulu." Manelisi and Mxolisi nodded, then kept a straight face.
Khaya: "Ndalo, what are they doing here?" Looked like these people have history.
Ndalo: "They're here to help us find Mpande." Danger chuckled in irritation.
Manqoba: "We don't need them here. Leave." Rude!
Manelisi: "It looks like to me you do need us since you still haven't found her. It's been over 3 hours, and the child is probably about to cross the border. So, if I were you, which, thank God I'm not, I would put my pride aside." Mxolisi chuckled in amusement.
Me: "Nomhle, I need Mpande's t-shirt." Nomhle stood up and disappeared to the other room. She came out carrying a little yellow t-shirt with white flowers. I took the T-shirt and gave it to Mxolisi.
Mxolisi: "Put it on the floor." As confused as I was, just placed the t-shirt on the floor.
Mxolisi: "Leave us." He was referring to Nomhle, who obviously looked offended.
Nomhle: "What?Why?"
Mxolisi: "I dont remember asking." She went silent and went to the other room. As soon as the door closed, Manelisi and Mxolisi took off their jacket and shirts.
Danger: "Manje?"

Mxolisi and Manelisi looked at each, smirking. Then, they launched themselves, turning themselves into wolves. Mxolisi's fur was black with a black patch on his right side with dark orange eyes, whereas Manelisi's fur was grey with bright yellow eyes. They were so tall, probably 6'11, and were so scary. They scared the shit out of us. The wolves took turns, sniffing, grunting, and licking Mpande's t-shirt. When they were done, they ran out, leaving us speechless. Danger spoke first.
Danger: "Damn! And I thought Ndalo's beast was scary, but them? I give up."
Mthoko: "So the rumors were true? They're wolves." Baba nodded.
Baba: "Ndalo, how to do know Nqobizitha's sons?" Everyone looked at him then at me.
Khaya: "Wait, they're Nqobizitha's children?"
Me: "I just know them. And to me, it looked like you guys also knew him."
Manqoba: "Yes, we did business noMxolisi. What a bunch of heartless pricks."
Me: "Well, I don't care. At least, Mpande will be back." Honesty, I didn't give a shit about their little beef or whatever they want to call it.
