Thorny Lake 5 (Back Fire)

Episode five

 Hands were moving up my chest, I woke up suddenly. "What are you doing here?"

"Shhhh…be quiet; if you keep shouting he will find us here" 

I couldn’t dare.

 It was happening again. 

Mr. Lukas woke up to use the toilet and then he didn’t find his wife, out of concern; he wondered why?

 He had a long day, he was too tired to check for his wife and then he went back to bed. Roseline woke up, kissed her husband "Good morning" and then left for the kitchen to prepare breakfast for her family, her husband, 'her baby' and her two kids. 

It was a Saturday morning; 2nd November. Everyone ate and then left the table to start the day, me to my room to work. 

An hour later, my boss was at my door.

 I asked him to come in, he did.

 We talked a lil about business.

 He watched me dupe somebody of just 5mill…

He tapped me and said "well done boy"; I was happy I was pleasing my boss, my new god. 

Night fell, same thing happened ; Roseline was in my room again. 

He allowed us go half way.

 She was on me, we were smooching and then Someone cleared his throat,Mr Lukas!

Unknowingly to me, my boss wasn’t looking at the screen while I was playing games on my victim earlier.

He sighted his wife’s panties in my drawer, my drawer was half closed. 

The "well done" he said wasn’t to my hard work but to my foolishness. 

I pushed Roseline off me and went on my knees to beg, before I would say a word his fist was on my face. 

He gave me several blows; I was bleeding.

 I guess not only females bleed after a sexual assault, males do too, the location only differs, was it an assault?

 He beat me to hell and after he was satisfied, he pulled out his gun to pull a trigger. 

 He unintently shot his wife as she tried to stop him. 

There was apt silence; we watched her drop dead.

Out of fierce anger, he reshuffled his gun to pull a trigger at me again. 

Before he would, I raced to the window to jump out but I wasn't fast enough to escape a shot, the bullet got my leg [somewhere between my ankle and knee].

 I landed on a garden rake, I had my feet injured as a result.

 I didn’t wait; I kept leaping into the woods.

With an injured leg, I was trying hard to flee.

 I leaped and staggered until I was deep into the woods in the middle of the night with owls making scary noise. 

I was losing so much blood. I sat to put pressure on the wounds. 

I became dizzy, I was losing blood from my left leg and injured feet and then my nostrils too. 

I cried, nothing good works for me anymore, I ran out with nothing, I had nothing.

 I prayed for a miracle, I wished all was just a dream and that I was still in Ifo high school in Ogun as the smartest kid in school and I was with Lola walking home as it was the routine back then.

 Where do I start from? how do I escape not being caught and thrown back to my cell again or even get killed?

My boss had connections with the police force, that’s how he got me out in the first place. 

He will make sure they find me; they will give me a slow death maybe cut my groin out. 

Noo! it was scary to think about what they would do to me if I get caught. I can't let them catch me, I've to keep going. I conversed with myself while making hesty leap
