Chinny

The heavens had shut their eyes, darkness had come, the night was here.

It scared her, for who knew what darkness brought in it's mouth

She was supposed to be happy walking down the beautiful blue lobby of Springfield high with Uche, the father of her child, holding her hand and flashing his sweet dimpled smile at her. She was not.

For heaven was falling and death was nigh.

Medusa was coming, coming for all their souls, and she knew it. For everything had gone wrong, and the plan had shattered, it was game over in her calculations.

She looked at the happy man, Uche, her love, and tears filled her eyes as he stood her on the balcony with himself - a place he used to give her chocolates and tell her his funny dreams of becoming the king of the world. King of the world indeed.

"Hey baybee." He began. "Are you crying?"

"yes" she concurred "yes I'm crying. I never believed i would see Sprigfield again, this place, all this? After all i've been through?" She let the tears flow.

"Aww" he grabbed her gently from behind to himself and kissed her cheek, smelling her hair as a mild night breeze brushed across them.

She felt peace for a moment, only a moment, before she got flashes again, flashes of the inevitable that was coming.

Starting from when she had dragged Chad's hands in Paris as they raced away from the evil that pursued- a man in a hood!

They had exited Park de Belleville now, heading to the car park where her lemon colored Bugatti Veron was parked.

"hurry now!" she cried as they both began to run with the man in pursuit.

Chad was faster, but he held her hand and dragged her along.

The man in the hood was fast too.

They had come to the open streets of Paris towards Port Alexandra now, with pedestrians, cyclists and passers by obstructing the race for their lives.

She could see a police officer by the side of the street looking at them and speaking into his radio with the corner of her eyes.

They kept running with the 'hood man' in pursuit! But soon they could see the car park from afar in front of a big mall where she had parked her car earlier.

She usually parked far away from her location for some specific reasons. (You know them).

She stopped!

" go! Now!" she said to Chad breathing hard

" go! Alléz! Alléz!" She repeated.

He stopped ,

"not without without you" he said and grabbed her hand dragging her along in his escape giving her no option until he had diverted into a darker street corner.

It was under a bridge with a fast flowing water body near by.

They pinned to the side with their backs against the wall, attempting a hide.

Then came the man in a hood, speeding into the corner, thus, Chinny quickly set a foot and it tripped him, he fell hard on his stomach, on the floor, sliding to a stop.

She rushed, charging at him. She pounced on him! Sitting on him.

She grabbed his hood by the neck region, dragging it up and pushing it down letting the man's fore head hit the stone hard floor!

She repeated it a second time, but the man somehow reversed the move, stiffening his neck and moving it way back so the back of his head met Chinny's forehead with high velocity and strong impact!

Painful!

She groaned of pain as she fell off his back to the hard floor!

He stood up swiftly!

"On y' va!" (let's go there!) he grunted, flexing his hands and neck like a boxer getting ready for a match in the ring before he was interrupted by a charge on him by Chad who jumped on him, landing a heavy blow on his face!

They both went to the ground together but Chad shouted sharply of pain and retreated from the hood man as he held his bleeding thigh.
The man had cut him on the thigh with a dagger!

Chinny rushed to Chad to help but in that milli second 'the hood' rushed at her raising his dagger to stab her but she grabbed his hand, an instinctual move, as he pressed the dagger towards her face underneath, with his other hand on her throat attempting to choke her into submission.

He was definitely stronger than her.

She kicked him as hard as she could in the balls in between his legs!

"urgh!" he grunted of pain and fell on his knees.

She completed her combo by channeling all her energy to her legs as she hit the man on the face with her hard knee cap and he went unconscious, collapsing on the floor.

She quickly went over to Chad who was still grunting of pain! And examined the cut. It was bad, real bad.

"It would need some stitches!" she reported.

"Uugh.. Yeah.." he grunted. " come on , help me up, we gotta go!"

She grabbed his hands and dragged him up helping him stand as he held her in support.

"When did you learn to fight like that?" Cas asked amidst his grunts.

"I developed survival instincts you shit..."

Just then! They heard sirens!

"c'est la police!" they heard a voice say from a distance, not to them but, somewhere around the corner. The police was close.

"the police is close. Chad, they can't find me here! I'd be damned by international law!" she cried.

"hush! They won't" he replied "as long as we get the fuck out of here".

She held Chad as they moved as fast as they could possibly amidst Chad's grunts of pain till they got to the river bank.

The river was alive and fast flowing.

" the river current is strong enough for an escape! It leads to the outskirts of the city. I have someone there waiting for us"

"How come? Did you know this would happen?"

" Chiadi, I'm the evil Queen of the dark web, I always got a contingency plan, that is how I stay alive".

Chad smiled, he was clearly impressed.

"now let's go. You have to jump in fast" she said.

"no. Chinny, you know I can't swim. Not with this." They looked at his leg, it was soaked with blood and the blood trail followed from where it was inflicted to that point.

"They can trace you with this. Sorry." He admited sadly pointing at the blood trails.

"Chad, I can't leave you behind! Not again. Not like Mac Donald" she felt tears drop down her cheeks.

The mood on Chad's face changed. It was no longer that of pain, but that of sorrow as tears filled his eyes.

"you're not leaving me behind. I'm the Fisheye remember? I'm letting you go. I'm asking you to save yourself and not die with me. Please?"

"no, Chad.. No... I did that to MD, I can't do that to you, I can't loose you. " she cried.

It seemed the pain of seven years ago, of Mac Donald had opened up again.

"Chinny, remember your son. He needs you."

"How did you know I have a son?"

" I did my homework too" he smiled and she smiled back. It was a sorrowful smile.

The sirens were getting louder.

" you have to go now" Chad reminded her.

" I have something else Chad. Medusa might think they have it all, but no. I have an anti-troy - the Trojan! It changes the whole game."

Cas' facial expression changed! Changed with a light of hope now written all over it !

"that is genius ! " he laughed of happiness and grabbed Chinny in an embrace!

"this is it! The beginning of the end!" they laughed a laughter of sorrow, and wept in each other's arms.

" I will contact the CEO of Greens when I navigate out of this place. They'll let me go when they know who I am. But they won't let you go, more reason why you have to go."

"Yeah.." Chinny agreed sobbing in Chad's arms.

She'd always been strong with everyone, but with Chad, her friend, she could let her guard down and be herself. Not Bouvery Rouge the Queen of evil, but Chinny, the mother of one.

"I'll tell her to adopt your son as soon as possible, and protect him for me. You wouldn't have to worry about his safety anymore."

"The CEO would?" she looked at Chad.

"of course, she would. She's my fiancé"

Chinny smiled and heaved a sigh of relief. She knew Chad, he'd do it. He's like that.

"She's Uche's son" she said

"what?!"

She was happy he was shocked. More reason for him to keep to his words.

"See you in Nigeria!"

She then jumped into the river leaving Chad perplexed as the river current carried her away just while she had heard;

"Arrétez là (stop there)!, c'est la Police! (It is the police)"!

"Hey, it's gonna be alright baby. I'll make sure of it" she heard the man who loves her whisper into her ears as his lips brushed her pinna (outer ear) slightly, creating a sweet sensation with the smooth, cold breeze of the harmattan season, as well as his firm hands on her waist and the feel of his masculine strength behind her.

She shut her eyes and inhaled deeply to take it all in as she spread her arms wide with the wind gracing it. Peace. She'd never felt it in seven years, Peace.

She felt like sucking it all in as Uche held her tighter.

" Feeling the magic in the air huh?" a familiar voice said.

No, it wasn't Uche's voice! It was Ronald's!

Could Nigeria get any better?!
