FAIR WARNING

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

The group ran out of the burning apartment as fast as their legs could carry them. They went behind Kofi’s flame-filled place

“OH MY DAYS…IS EVERYONE OK?” Wale barked

“Yeah…” Lanelle coughed “What the hell happened there?”

“OH MY…” Lil began “That was what I was hearing. I heard gas”

“What are you talking about?” Paul asked

“Gas…how else am I supposed to say it. I heard it, like it was coming from a boiler or a cooker or something”

“Oh my word…” Paul declared “Well we didn’t do anything, if the gas was left on…its Kofi’s fault”

“Wait a second…” DeMarion began “Where’s Shay?”

The group looked around and saw no sight of her. The house had a mini explosion

“OH MY DAYS…SHAY IS IN THERE! SHE IS IN THERE! SHAY IS IN THERE” Courtney screamed hysterically

“What…” Wale began “I’ve got to go back for her” He took off his jacket and raced to the house

“WALE... NO, MAN...” DeMarion berked. As Wale ran, the house had another mini-explosion, and was far too dangerous to step foot in. The impact of the explosion threw Wale to the ground. Wale then heard the fire brigade siren

“WE’VE GOT TO GO RIGHT NOW” Paul barked as Wale caught up with them and they ran into the distance.

The following day, the group were squatting at an abandoned apartment. The group all looked visibly distressed

“No way...Shay’s dead...” Paul shook his head

“The bitch was gassing too much, so I can’t really say that I’m sad” Lanelle shrugged. The group looked at her

“What...? No I ain’t hostile; she was not a nice person, so boy”

“Alright...I’m convinced people could be targeted” Dalmar replied as he took a sip of his drink

“Why do you say that?” DeMarion asked

“Well...how can out of eight of us, only Shay died in the blaze” Dalmar stated

“Got a point” Courtney declared “But it’s actually bad when you proper know someone who just suddenly died...No one deserves their life to be taken ike that. If this is indeed MARSHAL, I actually feel anger towards her or him”

“I second that, trust” Wale began “I mean, I’m sure e all know people who have either been injured, seriously injured or killed because of these so called ‘occurrences’”

“You could be onto something, still” Paul began “Wait a second...yo Court”

“Yeah?” Courtney replied

“Who was the second person on the list?”

“Urm...” Courtney was trying to remember “Oh...It was a man, Jim Adebenga”

“Jim Adebenga...” Paul smirked and turned to Wale

“Shut up you waste man” Wale barked “Because he’s Nigerian you look at me, turn your face”

“You shut up, I DIDN’T EVEN SAY ANYTHING...allow acting like an old, scrawny bitch” Paul barked back

“ANYWAY” Lanelle began “Let’s holler at that breh and see WHATA GWAN, INIT!”

The group paused

“Was that even English?” Lil joked

“Alright, Courtney can you remember where that guy lives?” Wale asked

“Yeah...In South-West” Courtney began “But we can’t just turn up there looking all weird and crap...so what are we gonna do?”

“Leave it to me” Wale smiled

The group travelled to South-West London and arrived at The Adebenga Residence

“What...what if he has a family and that?” DeMarion asked

“Yo, we ain’t gonna kill anybody are we?” Lanelle asked “We’re just gonna go in there...tell that WASTEMAN to stop with all this voodoo hoo-ha, or else...we’ll kill him”

“Wha?” Courtney snapped

“Jokes man” Lanelle smiled “Gees Courtney, loosen your knickers, sis”

“Ok, knock on the door” DeMarion told Paul

“Excuse yourself, you mulatto waste man” Paul barked. Paul knocked on the door. The group waited paitently, but to no answer

“FOR FLIP SAKE! WHY THE HELL DOES EVERYONE HAVE TO BE OUT” Paul roared “FOR GOODNESS SAKE, WOULD IT KILL YOU TO STAY IN YOUR FLIPPING YARD”

“Dalmar, do the business” Wale ordered. Dalmar nodded and took out some tools

“Wait a second, why didn’t you use those tools back at Kofi’s house?” Lil asked

“...Because I didn’t need them...” Dalmar began as he used some tools to unlock the door, which he was successful at.

They entered the very neat apartment. Lil switched on the light, everything seemed expensive

“RARRR, you can just smell the money” Paul laughed

“Well we haven’t got much time. Breaking into two yards is extremely risky” Wale replied. The group split up in order to find the python. They searched high and low but to no avail. Paul looked in a bedroom as he heard noise. It was an elderly woman – Jim’s mother

“Yo...Grandma seems to be having a nice nap”

“C’mon, stop pissing about” Lil replied as she went into the bathroom. Paul shrugged his shoulders as he went downstairs

“NAH...NO WAY... I can see why Shay was frustrated” Paul began “This is getting dumb. Our lives are a shambles, what are we gonna do?”

Wale turned the light off

“WHAT....” Courtney barked

“Shush!” Wale whispered loudly

The door was unlocking
