Wicked Stepmother

10- Ups and downs

Sometimes the things we can't change, end up changing us instead.

A grumpy ride ahead! Grab your ice-cream bucket and enjoy the ride!

Mommy;

"Just make sure everything goes as planned. I hate stories you all know. And this is the second time you guys are going to work for me. The last time, it went successful; and I hope this one will also be a successful one" she said to her boys.

"Keep a very close eye. Because I know he'll be driving her back to school since you said Moses saw her heading out of the school".

"We'll do just as you wish" the first guy spoke.
"Killed or injured"? The second one asked.
"I want them ruthlessly injured" Mommy declared. "I will give you a sum of N1million right now and will give you the balance after a successful work. Mind you I'll be leaving this place after you guys have accomplished your work" she spoke further.

"Consider it done" they all spoke in unison.

Wishing them luck, she saw them out and smirked evily as the thought of Ra'eesah and her father beign Brutally injured washed through her mind.

"Wake up girls! We're gonna visit your beloved aunt today, Mamama" Mommy said excitedly.

"Okay Mother, we'll be ready in some few minutes" Saajidah replied with a smile.

Their mother was so happy that finally, her daughter Saajidah is teaming up with them against Ra'eesah and her father.

"Get down"! The first man with a black mask commanded Ra'eesah and her dad showing them a gun.

Obeying, they gently came out of the car. With a teary voice, Ra'eesah kept pleading with them not to harm her dad.

"Please don't do anything to my father"! She shouted now crying on top of her voice.
"What have we done to you please?  Forgive us. She kept pleading but no one was willing to pity them.

Having tied both Ra'eesah and her dad round a tree, their boss commanded his boys to Start firing them.

All this while, Ra'eesah's father couldn't utter a word. He was tongue tied! Looking for any means to get his daughter out this situation.

And just like in some American films, they started hearing Gun shots.

"Shoot their legs first" again, the Boss ordered.

"You all are under arrest!" A well-built police in his Khaki said making them all shiver going on their kneels. The other police's surrounded them as the first one went ahead to untie Aleeyu and his daughter.

"Match into the car" they were told.
Obeying, they silently made their way to the car while Ra'eesah and her dad were accompanied by two police men.

The robbers were drove to the station where investigations soon began.

They've been there for over an hour but they were not willing to open up. "Who sent you?! " the Army specialist shouted loosing his temper.

"Will you open your stinky mouth and tell us who the f*ck sent you?! "the staff sergeant shouted at the top of his voice hitting the table so hard.

Still, they got no answer.

Removing their belts, the police gang began hitting them so hard.

At last, they were willing to talk.

WHO. SENT. YOU? they were asked in a very harsh tone this time around.

"it is madam sir" the gang leader replied.

And next, he was slapped so hard on the face. "Who the hell is madam"

"She is the man's wife sir" he said with a shaky voice.

"Hey Saajie" her twin sister called. "Uhm"? Saajidah replied without looking at her sister. "You seem so focused on your phone. What are you doing? " Saabirah asked coming closer. "Uh. I'm just exploring on instagram" still, not attempting to have an eye contact with her sister.

"Start parking girls. We're gonna leave from here any minute from now because I'm just waiting for a call from my guys" Mommy said full of enthusiasm.

"Okay" the girls replied in unison.

"Everything is going to be ours now.. The house, cars and every single thing he owns" (she was referring to Aliyu)

"Hello Moses! How far with your assignment? " she asked eagerly.
"It went successful Ma. Where are you now? " Moses asked.
"The apartment we met earlier" she said.
"Okay, we'll be there in a jiffy ma"

Excitement would be an understatement of how mommy was feeling. She was done packing everything sitting impatiently and waiting for her guys to clear them up when she had the sound of a siren.

"Siren?!  What could have possibly happened? She asked herself roaming about in the living room.
Saabirah on the other hand had her eyes popped out like saucers...
Saajidah was as calm as a river.

Just in a minute, the Police stomped into the living room. "You are under arrest" he said pointing a gun to Mommy. Confused, she surrendered. "The three of you should follow me" he said to them.

Once again at the station, everyone was present. The robbers, mommy and her daughters, Ra'eesah and her father.

After a lot of questions At first, Mommy denied all allegations saying this is a cooked up story. But lastly, she was found guilty.

"This girl is very brave. The corporal said. If not for her, you would have been in the ER by now sir." he said looking at Aleeyu.

"She called me the day she found out what her mother was planning to do and begged me to keep a very close eye feeding me with daily updates".

"Who"? They almost said at thesame time.

"Saajidah" he said
