Her Darker Side

chapter 09

Travel heard a screeching noise back down his legs, he turned back and saw a mouse caught by a snake, he jumped back and started to run, the lion saw him but didn't bother chasing him as it was just from a fresh feeding of an antelope, trav ran for a long time until he got tired, he stopped for a while, his big wound at his rib from the accident was so painful, he was so hungry and tired, he rested for a while and then continued to walk, he didn't want to give up and land to the hands of the police again, he walked until it was starting to sunrise, he was so hungry ,he felt dizzy, darkness engulfed his eyes and suddenly he fell down unconscious.
        Trav heard distinct voices of children playing, he tried to open his eyes but failed, he forced himself to get up but the pain on his ribs kept him back, he fell asleep again.
  Trav felt something poured to his ribcage, he felt terrible pain and groaned, he opened his eyes to saw a blurry image of a white girl busy washing his wound,
    "Ah!" He cried as he felt pain

     "Sorry" the girl answered with a wide smile on her face
  The girl went out of the house and came back with a short stout man holding a sub-machine gun, he smiled seeing Trav awake , he went and sat beside his bed.

       "Hello this is jean-claude kaloko, the leader of the guerilla group of Congo" the man said with a Congolese accent in his voice

          "How did I reach here?!, and where am I?!" Trav asked desperately

  " you are in Congo, we picked you up from kigoma deserts lying halfdead and brought you here"
   He replied politely with a wide grin on his face

    "Oh God, thank you brother!" Trav replied while drawing his hand to handshake, the pain in his ribs humbled him

    "You are mostly welcome, can you please tell us what exactly happened to you?!" The man asked curiously

   "I think you should let him rest for a while, I gave him strong dosage that will wake him sleep in less than five minutes ahead" nurse Miriam interrupted

      "Okay, I will leave him under your supervision, we are going on  a mission to goma city until next week, I hope we will find him okay"
    Jean said and stood up ready to get out

    "Its my pleasure sir" nurse Miriam replied politely

Jean walked out of the hut and went outside, he summoned about two hundred men and ordered them to carry their weapons and the journey to goma started,  they were going to attack the city to threaten and force the government of Congo in which they needed the country to hand the office to them.
      At the camp the nurse gave trav some medicines which made him a bit stronger, he rose and sat on the bed, few minutes later the nurse entered  holding a large bowl full of porridge, she smiled at him and took the spoon and started to feed him, trav drank down the whole bowl and after finishing he thanked the nurse, the nurse just smiled and woke up, she started to walk out when trav pulled her hand back, she came back and sat.

      "Look sir, I have some chores I gotta do outside" Miriam excused herself

        "I bet we are the only people left at the campus, why rushing ?;" trav asked teasingly

  "Okay sir am listening "

"Stop siring me!, my name is trav, Travis Collins , and what's that cute name of  yours?!"

      "I am Miriam Karl "

"Karl?, you from German ?!" Trav asked

     "Yes...." Miriam replied coldly
 
"Wie gehts..." Trav greeted her

   "Gehts....!" Miriam replied in astonishment
   
     "Hahahah I love this language" trav said

   "How did you know it?!" Miriam asked cheerfully
