Sandile stood up and went to fetch his phone. Dialing for Graham. Sands: "Gray? I need you here right now!! Please hurry!!" Graham: "I'm coming." He hung up. The doors of the apartment opened. Komander stepped in. Sands: "I should've fucking known. You again?" Komander looked at Lakhe unconscious on the floor. Kom: "I didn't know he was here-" Sands: "WHAT DO YOU WANT!!! HAVEN'T YOU DONE ENOUGH DAMAGE ALREADY!!" Kom: "I can't stay long. Lakhe will be okay once I'm gone. I need you to take care of Spho. Here." He handed him the book. Kom: "Take care of her with everything you have. That baby is going to hurt her. I need to know you're there to help her." Sands: "Get out." Kom: "I'm not leaving until I have your word and be warned your brother is sinking deeper with every second." Sands: "Of course I'll protect Spho!!" Kom: "You don't let anyone see that book. You don't tell anyone you have it. Protect it the way you do with your heart. It is for your eyes only. Not even Graham. Not even Spho. Do you understand me?" Sands: "Are you trying to capture my soul again man? That shit won't fly this time around!" Kom: "If I wanted to capture your soul, I would've done it before I walked in here. Don't be stupid. I am trusting you with the only lead to a Komander succession bloodline. I just need Spho to be safe. I promised her I'd never hurt her. I only trust you. You're the only one in existence, who has genuine love for her. Please Sandile." Sands: "Fine. I won't tell anyone. But if you try that freaky shit man." Kom: "What freaky shit?" Something touched Sandile's ear. He jumped up and down. Sands: "THAT FUCKING FREAKY SHIT!! GET OUT!!" Komander laughed. Kom: "You're an idiot." He walked out. Sands: "The fuck!" He held his ear. Sands: "Mans, I need you to get up!! Can you hear me? Shit." 10 minutes later, Graham walked in. Graham: "Siya is parking the car, What happened here!!" Sands: "He just collapsed. Help him." Graham kneeled next to Lakhe, holding his face. Graham: "Oh Dear God. Komander is back." He held Lakhe's chest. Graham: "He's around somewhere. His demons are excessively heavy for Lakhe. There's too many of them trying to claw back inside him. Kadir was near him." Sands: "Is he going to be okay?" Lakhe gasped and blinked. His eyes returning back to normal. He struggled up to his feet. Lakhe: "What the...." Graham: "Hi." Siya walked in. Siya: "Komander is around." Sands: "How.." Siya: "I can feel his presence. His demons linger where he has been. They left as soon as Graham walked in." He stood in front of Sandile. Siya: "What was he doing here?" Sands: "He came to say Hi." Siya: "Seriously Sandile, this is not a game. Lakhe is going to collapse into a demon infused coma every single time he's around sinking deeper into darkness every time it happens. What was Komander doing here?" Sands: "Then why aren't you in a coma?" Siya: "I wasn't a full dark demon with komander blood running through me!!!" Sands: "He needs someone to protect Spho. He's worried about the baby." Graham: "Lam?" Sands: "No. Spho is pregnant." Siya stared at Masilakhe, balling his fists. Graham held him still. Graham: "No." Lakhe: "Leave him. I deserve it." Graham: "What is it going to help!!! She's already pregnant! We just need to work together right now. This can't be good." Siya: "What does he want? Why did he come back HERE. Lakhe doesn't live here." Sands: "He says he trusts me. And only me." Lakhe: "He wants the baby." He sat down. Lakhe: "It belongs to him. Kadir was the one who..." Graham: "No. The baby doesn't belong to him. That's your son. We'll find a way. God did this for a reason. There has to be a way out." Lakhe: "I have to go-" Siya: "You can't." Lakhe: "Why the hell not." Graham: "You're an easy target for demons. It's easier for you to be close to either me or Spho. Spiritual power is the only one that can help you now." Lakhe: "Spho can't stand me. And I can't stand YOU. How will that work?" Graham: "The baby can't stand you. It is a destroyer. Before it's even out of her womb, it will begin to shift you. Break you. It will change you. You cannot let it Lakhe. You have to refuse." Lakhe: "How do I do that?" Graham: "Give yourself to the Lord." Lakhe: "I'm out of here." Siya: "They will follow you." Lakhe: "I've had them in me before. I can handle it ." Siya: "Can you? Weren't you on the floor just a few minutes ago?" Lakhe: "Are we gonna have a problem?" Siya: "We already do. Stop being a damn nuisance. For once in your life, get some balls and take care of yourself. How are you gonna be a father to your kids if you can't correct yourself?" Lakhe: "I can't correct myself? By refusing to be in your brotherhood cult!?" Siya: "The real cult is what you're running to right now!!" Lakhe: "I will knock you the fuck out. Keep talking." Siya: "You know it's the truth. You cannot handle that something is stronger than you. That's why you can't handle Spho-" Lakhe lunged out to grab him. Sandile blocked and held him still. Sands: "Stop it!! Can we let this shit go!!" Lakhe: "You better leave Spho out of this Siyanda!!" Siya: "Be a man Masilakhe. Spho risked her life to save yours. For once, be grateful there's someone in this world who'd die for you!!" He walked out. Graham: "Either way. You need help. I can't let you be attacked like this." Lakhe: "Why the fuck do you care!" Graham: "I actually really don't. But I'm not in the business of letting people die." Lakhe: "I don't need your help." He walked out. Graham: "Lakhe is in real danger." Sands: "He knows how to take care of himself." Graham: "Really? And when he collapses also? Komander is not leaving until he has that baby Sandile. You honestly cannot trust him." Sands: "Wouldn't it be better if he took the baby? Considering how dangerous it is." Graham: "I saw it. In my visions. Sandile it does not look good. That child is powerful. He will look exactly like Kadir and be much worse in action." Sands: "Then what do we do?" Graham: "I'll start fasting. I need more guidance. Call me if you need anything. I have to go. I left Niny by himself." Sands: "Okay." Graham: "Why didn't you tell me?" Sands: "Tell you what?" Graham: "Spho." Sands: "It wasn't my place. Plus she wasn't okay when she found out." Graham: "Of course she wouldn't be okay." Sands: "Meaning?" Graham looked at him. Graham: "Because Lam is still too young and everything she's been through. It actually makes sense that she survived the attack Lakhe did on her. That baby protected her. Under normal circumstances they both would've died. No matter how much of a bad person you are, you still love your mom." Sands: "I suppose." Graham: "Let me get going." He walked out, leaving Sandile by himself. He locked the doors and went to his bedroom, opening his safe. The book was stored there for the meantime. Sands: "I don't know why but I'll have to trust you this one time, Kadir." He closed the safe and double locked it.
