SCREWED★

•25•

Just as we drove back, our cool John Legend's All of me was suddenly interrupted by the radio,
"BREAKING NEWS! BREAKING NEWS!"

"Perilous times indeed!
A young woman was allegedly found dead in her car on the Nalana Highway. Eye witnesses say she was murdered by two guys who appeared to be searching for someone or something"

What!?, I screamed my lungs out

"Have there been any identification of this young woman in question?"The news presenter anxiously queried

"The police on site are not ready to give us details, but a sure source has given the car number as B6- 1049-0"

"Any attempts now, people are worried, and they want to identify the person."

"Finally, the police officers spoke out on the identity
The young woman is by name Zama Kigali Nsana, a worker at Vehze Consult in Soumouri, Capetown. "

Tell me this is not true.
I burst out in tears.

Bekhizizwe held me firmly as i wailed.

I took out my phone, trying to call Zama, but her phone wasn't going through.

Zizwe pulled over, still in shock.

"Drugs is the backbone of most African cities. Zama's death is no difference.
The police and other men have rushed on site. The body and other evidence have been taken for investigations", the presenter sounded

Zamaaaa!!!!!!!!
I wailed so loudly that i could no more.

Mulakpo's call came through immediately.

"Tami, where are you? You need to stay indoors, lock all your doors.
You were the target of those assassins. They are looking for us to kill"

I froze

Zizwe took the phone for more enquiries.
"The police security at currently on their way to your house, dont worry, Tami, everything will be alright.

"Tami, we are going to my place. it's safer there," Zizwe announced.

I was so confused. I barely even heard anything.

Soon, we were at Zizwe's place.
He held me so tightly, and I cried my eyes out.

"Baby, we'll get through this okay, everything's gonna be fine."

It's all this stupid case. I should have just stopped it. Now I've lost my best friend, my sister.

I wailed in extreme agony.

I dont know how i got through the night, but Zizwe sat the whole night watching me sleep.

I felt so weak when I woke up.

So this is it?
The price we pay for Justice

Zama innocently died in my place.

"The assailants thought it was me?
They want me dead?

Mr. Bongani Mwuenda, you have no idea what you have just caused

This means WAR!
