Make It Rain

TEN

"Good work today guys!" The coach walked around, shaking all the boys.

It had already been two weeks since Jimmy and his teammates had become the SGC champions. The following week after the final was spent celebrating and just having fun, something Jimmy did beter than anything. Even playing football.

Even though the excitement was still there, they knew they had to keep their fitness and continue all necessary workouts and drills to improve on their game as a team. The day's exercises were completed and everyone had started heading home after a very tough day. Everyome but Jimmy

"Your brother complained about me leaving you here last time. Now where is he?!"

"I don't know. Maybe he will be here soon." Jimmy shrugged his shoulders as he removed his boots, sitting on the substitute's bench. Jimmy really didn't care whether the coach waited for Samuel to come or not. He was a very quick witted kid that believed he could take good care of himself.

"And you too? Where is your aunty?" The coach pointed at Emmanuel.

Emmanuel drew his breath and sighed, also shrugging his shoulders as he sat beside Jimmy. They both knew Samuel and Shola were probably together and if any of them came, both Jimmy and Emmanuel would be heading home. The coach on the other hand was just afraid of losing his job to another warning and had to wait.

"So na just three of us now." The coach complained.

"We self dey here." A thick scary voice came from behind.

All three of them reacted to the voice with a sudden jolt.

"Shhh!!" The men revealed their guns, rounding up the trio.

They directed them to a warehouse close to the training camp. The guard at the gate had already been subdued by two other who were waiting for them.

"Oga please sir, we don't have anything jus..."

"Shut up!" One of the thugs slapped the coach.

The warehouse was a very small one but was almost filled with carton boxes of different varieties of products. They motioned the coach and his pupils to a corner of the room and sat them there.

"Please what have we done!" The coach tried to protest.

"Do you want me to shoot you!!!" The leader of the thugs pointed his gun at the coach.

"No!!! No!! No! Please, I will shut up!!!" He shrivelled, holding his head in fear.

After ordering two of the guys to keep watch outside, the leader and two other men watched the captives.

"Boss show, I beg." Calling their leader aside.

"What is it?"

"Who are we meant to kill here first? Because I know say no be that fool wey dey shake for ground." disgusted at the coach's behavior.

"That boy." He pointed at Jimmy.

"Ehn?!! You sure?!!"

"Leave me!!" The boss pushed his comrade away.
I myself am confused. I don't think Mr. Seun knows Jimmy is just a boy. Either ways, let's follow instructions.

"Boss!!!" One of the men called out.

In quick response, the boss rushed to them. "What is it?!"

"This fool let the boy run!" Hitting the last man they left to watch their captives.

"Oga I tell you say I no sleep for night." Like that was a good enough excuse for letting him escape.

Could only be good for Jimmy who had quickly snuck somewhere in the warehouse to call for help.
