THE SILENT KILLER

THE SILENT KILLER

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

"Please Donna, please stop him from killing me... Please...."
I wake up with a start!
I wouldn't say it is a nightmare because it's daytime....
I had too much to drink then slumped on the couch. It has been two weeks since Don promised to deal with my perpetrators.
He hasn't given me any report yet but Everytime I ask him, he tells me that he is working on it and I should just give him a break.
The whole of this week, he has been on a 'business trip.' He wouldn't pick my calls.
I'm damn worried about him that's why I've indulged in alcohol and hard stuff.

I'm so pressed therefore I rush to the washrooms to relieve myself.
After rinsing my hands on the sink, my phone's ringtone catches my attention. It's on the TV stand getting charged.
I stare at the screen and the name displayed makes me smile involuntarily.
It's him...
It's Don..
"Hello hunnie..."
I receive it, rather happily.
"Hello Donna, mission accomplished..."
His voice is dry... Very dry.
"What do you mean Don? Which mission?"
"Don't be silly woman, Max is dead, two more of your 'former clients' are dead. My ruthless boys are now at your aunt's place and she is begging for her live..."
Ouch! The word 'former clients' really hurts. It's not like I gave into their desires willingly!
"I need to see her suffer..."
"Drake is on his way coming for you. He will drop you at the airport where you will catch your flight to the city where she lives. I've already booked a flight for you. Drake has the details. I hope you know your way there. One of my boys will pick you up from the airport and accompany you to her place... Got it?"
" Yes Don, lemmie get ready.."
" Drake is outside.... Don't keep him waiting."
He hangs up before I ask him any more question.

The drive to the airport is short.
The flight to the other city ain't long either.
Don's boy, Jade is waiting for me at the airport. He drives me to my aunt's apartment.
The sight of the place where I experienced all kind of torture makes me nauseated. I've the urge to throw up.
Now more than ever, I'm determined to make her pay.

Bree is tied on a metal chair. She looks thin and emanciated.
"Thank God you are here Donna, they almost killed me... I don't know who has send them!"
"And you think I'm here to help you? Stupid woman! Not after all that you've put me through!"
" I'm so sorry my daughter, it's all the work of the devil ...."
Did I hear her right?
Did she just call me her daughter?
Didn't she warn me never to call her mum but auntie?
Oh My God!
"Don't play saint with me. I'm not your daughter, I've never been. Secondly, don't you ever blame the devil for your mistakes. He is innocent in all these!"
Didn't I just defend Satan?😂😂

" I'm here to make you pay for all that you ever did to me. You picked me from the homeless kids home promising to take me back to school but you didn't. Instead, you made me your money making machine. You made me go through all the torture from your so called clients. You made me do the unthinkable...."
I'm about to break down.
All the tears I've been holding for all those years are threatening to come out.
"Be strong Donna... Be strong!"
I encourage myself.
"Please don't harm me. You took all the money with you Donna, you were well paid!"

I give her a resounding slap which sends her reeling to the ground, with her metallic chair.
"Heartless woman, I'm just waiting my time here. For your information, I don't need your fucking money... I'm here to get my revenge."
Unfortunately, Don refused to show me how to use a gun but I'm determined to see her suffer. However, I won't stain my hands with her blood.
"Just kill me Donna ....kill me and get done with it. After all I've nothing to live for!"
"That's the whole idea Briana,I want you to beg for your life. By the time I'm done with you, you will just kill yourself because death will seem to be the only solace you'll ever get!"

I order one of the boys to strip her naked, but again, I don't want to see my auntie's nakedness.
"Don't strip her, I would like to square this woman to woman..."
I know she can't harm me when the three boys are there. They are all armed with guns.
The thing is, killing her with a bullet won't be fun. It will be an easy and quick death for her.
I came prepared with my tools. I take a small box out of my bag and one look at it, the boys start giggling...

I spread the pins on the bed and start inserting one by one into her fingers... Her squealing is deafening. I order my boys to put a piece of cloth into her mouth to stop attracting attention.
I've driven all the ten pins into her fingers. She's numb with pain. The bleeding is severe. But I'm not done with her yet.
I take out a pliers and get hold of her nose. I twist it in such a manner that it instantly disfigures.
She's just looking at me, her eyeballs narrowing. I'm sure she's gonna pass out.
I hold her fingers and pluck out the pins one by one, blood gushing out of them. She's too tired to scream.
I then pluck her nails, one by one using the pliers.
I can see her struggling to breathe... the
She's loosing it.
However, I don't want her to wake up again.
I order the boys to put bullets through her heart to finish her off....
Unknowingly, her blood is already upon my soul...
I didn't want to but I had to....finish her off!
Sweet revenge, I call it.
Murder, you call it.....
"Goodbye Auntie... "
I murmur, as the last bullet lands on her limp body.
"Fare there well...."
