Wanted Here – Ch.4 | KT OLLA

MARCUZ couldn’t pick whose voice the talking don had. But it sounded to him like one of his professors.

Yes, he definitely knew someone who talked in that way. Someone who sounded exactly.

It was Jacques. The man they called “Time Bomb.”

The lad didn’t know he’d be meeting him twice in just 12 hours. It was like dying two times, he moaned.

Now a younger voice came up. The assaulted one spoke out from up the stairs.

“You ask what I am to go up against you all!

“Well, I am blood relative to Manuel Barnabas, one of those you murdered!

“I’m his cousin, Lucius. But Manuel was our family star! He was our only prospect and you killed him!

“You took away our family genius! You murdered my cousin just because you can!

“And here you are asking who I am to witness against y’all!”

Marcuz heard the speaker’s words, but it was the names that rang a bell. The names that he mentioned felt familiar.

He thought he’d seen “Manuel Barnabas” and “Lucius” somewhere lately. Yet he wasn’t sure where he’d come across the two.

So he stayed still and listened to pick details.

Lucius continued to talk in that meanwhile.

“See, Manuel was a sensible human! But he chose Cannon to study... and that was his downfall!

“Didn’t you people claim you groom prodigies like him? You say you admit genius minds like him… but why did you end this one?

“Why did you end Manuel Barnabas? He was our only genius!”

Jacques scoffed and paused.

Then he asked, “Ain’t you talking of Barnabas of the class of 2020? Isn’t that your relative?”

“Yes that’s my only cousin! And my hero, professor!”

Jacques laughed. “Now did you say we ended him?

“The last time I checked – I think that was this morning, he was still where we put him.

“We gave him and other guys like him their first class...

“Did he get angry and throw away the paper? Wasn’t it that piece of card he worked his smart butt for?

“I’m sure he mustn’t say we ended him! That’s after we made him top student! Don’t tell me your cousin’s that dumb!”

“Well, that’s the point, professor!” picked Lucius. “You all made him the dumbest zombie to ever walk earth! 

“Cannon murdered Manuel Barnabas, the same way you killed June Martinez!

“You murdered the only prodigy that our family has...

“And you want me to keep shut on the psychomicide case? No I won’t!”

The puzzle bits of the situation came to form in Marcuz’s mind. He connected the pixels and quickly saw what this was about.

He realized that the young talker was the new witness on the Cannon case. He’d seen the name on the news article he opened earlier in time. And he was just able to recall it.

Now he knew what kind of dangerous ground he was on.

He tried to bolt now. Real fast.

Knighted Again – Ch.13 | KT OLLA

MAQWELA caught the smile on Nile’s face as he turned back to him. He knew why the boy smiled, yet he liked him more. Those were some things of innocence that he missed. The king liked people who wouldn’t cower when he used power. Unlike how he’d tremble as a boy when his late father abused the right. Yes, he liked folks who still retained their peace as they grew. Like those cute youngsters listening to him. So the monarch resumed, but he preferred to go the earnest way. ‘Now like I said earlier, that nobody enters here except Maqwela passes them – you must also know that nobody hears the things I’ll be speaking now unless we tell them! ‘Now I know you’re smart enough to know what I said – and what I left unsaid!’ The duo braced up and gestured with a nod. They knew the weight of that sentence and were ready to keep the monarch’s secret. They knew they were about to hear a blast. And so they braced up for it. Right then the middle-aged heaved a deep breath, crossed his arms over his ch...

Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 9 | KT OLLA

ABISHUM wasn’t done speaking. So she picked up on the matter as things were bound to change. She spoke: ‘See, it was a bedroom cry for Aleph. But not until the day things were shoved in her face… ‘And that day she gave up on hoping! ‘Well, what Aleph thought was the reason why Beth couldn’t marry, was different from what it was with people. ‘She used to think it was because there was no man in her house to ask the daughter from. As is our customary practice in Israel.  ‘But when a drunken man shoved it in her face one night, it hurt her too much what people say. ‘“No one will marry your daughter, woman! Why will anyone do? When death hides in her bosom like it hid in yours. Or why did your husband die? ‘“Look, if you don’t know it – your family is cursed! You only have one child in a nation of plenty. ‘“God has prospered Israel with many children like the sea sand. But what do your family bear? Only one! ‘“So, who will want your cursed daughter for his son to love? You really don’t...

Wanted Here – Ch.23 | KT OLLA

BEAKERS broke and crashed on the ground. So the splinters went littering the laboratory. Still the one who caused the damage only stood and watched… And then she walked out of the place without looking back. It was as if the 28-year-old didn’t cared a moment. But she cared too much she cried a bucket. June Martinez had stepped in her laboratory right behind her home. It was a facility sitting on an acre of land that equally hosted their large villa. The property was both home and office to the brilliant couple. They had their villa furnished with everything comfort. Then they got two labs built into a structure behind it. With only a glass partition in-between. Carl did his work in one part of the structure, while June used the other part as her laboratory. Now it’d been quite a while June had wanted to return to her lab. She once only talked about getting back and wouldn’t dare to step a foot in the lab. Then months passed and she made more progress. She got to put on her coat to retu...
