Criminal Mind

There’s the thought of carrying out some evil deed and all that could settle in was death….death!! Who is worthy of death by my hands?

You are fired!!! His voice rang in my ears.

Sir, I can’t imagine another person’s error would warrant me being fired and I think a warning letter would be fair.

Do you think life is fair!!! You cost this company a 12 Billion Naira contract because of your recklessness. How could you have let that huge sum slip from your grasp!! Security will walk you to the door and do not expect any gratuity whatsoever.

What!!! I felt life drain out of me. I couldn’t believe things were changing this instant. This is my dream job. Where would I start from? No savings and huge expenses.

Luck shone on me, though it wasn’t easy, but I rose to the top. Now I am counted amongst the top 20 richest women in the country even if it took me 5 years to get here.

Death!  He most definitely is worthy. I need a strategy…

Two years after....

Nice car! Even in my wildest imagination I wouldn’t have expected you to save me from this mess. A broken down vehicle on 3^rd mainland bridge at this hour….bad combination.

We both laughed.

You are just a lucky man sir. I am only taking this car for a spin. Watched a movie over the weekend and they made me believe it could run almost as fast as a plane.

A spin on this bridge!! I would advise against that…too many bumps and pot holes.

Chicken!!  Brace yourself. I’m sure we’ll be fine…. Or I’ll be fine at least. I stepped on the accelerator and men this car moves…..pity this is the only time I get to drive it.

I gauged the bend; I knew there was a  bump just before it. I could see the fear in Dapo’s eyes. My very own former boss afraid… Death sure has a face….we hit the handrail, flipped right over it and yes…we were in the air, then downward into the lagoon. Dapo was screaming. I had a smirk on my face.

It can go either way, we both die or one of us survives and that person sure as hell will be me. There’s a huge splash and we were sinking.

Bayo was struggling with his seat belt…hahaha, just as I anticipated, it was stuck! It will be a thing of joy to ensure he sees me smile just before his belly gets jammed with the water from the lagoon. I turned, looked into his eyes and said “Don’t panic Dapo, that won’t help us” I smiled. I unhooked my seat belt asked “Do you trust me Dapo”? Of course his answer was ‘yes’ as his life automatically depended on me… I smiled again. “Die in peace my friend”….I wound down and swam up.

I was glad. Mission accomplished. How easy that was….well except for my $125,000 car.

HOLY MOLLY!!!! That was one heck of a dream. Phew!!

In the office the following morning, my client called and stated he was going to invest with our biggest competitor …..SHIT, Dapo is going to fire my ass!!!
