Vengeance is a monster of appetite, forever bloodthirsty and never filled.

... He stood shivering with the phone placed on his left ear, he was shocked, afraid and determined; all at the same time.
"Okay sir" Chief Amadi said dropping the call, he immediately called on the driver
"Dike, get the fastest car now. We are going to the nearest police station" he ordered
"What happened sir?" Dike questioned softly as the chief settled on the backseat
"Drive the darn car" he cursed as the driver immediately swung into action.
He knew they had warned him to come alone, he knows it is a trap; a trap to lure him out but he can not help it.
He remembered how Nonso died a month ago, also how Bolaji mysteriously followed two weeks later. The killer had written chief Amadi's name as the next person in line of death, now the inevitable seems to be around the corner.
"Hello, am in trouble oh" he hastily said immediately the receiver picked the call
"The killer, he got my daughter" he said crying while the driver increased the speed of the car to the highest it can reach
Am on my way to that police station along ... He couldn't complete his sentence when the driver suddenly swerved to an untared road that seemed to have been abandoned for ages.
"What on earth is going on" he said reflexively dipping his hand inside his flowing agbada.
"Looking for this" the driver said bringing out a pistol from under his seat, "don't be surprised chief Amadi, it it a well planned mission" he continued bringing the car to a halt.
"Now get down" he ordered while the chief immediately obeyed, "remember him?" He asked giving a picture to the shaken chief
"That was me 5 years ago, I got a face surgery" he said collecting the picture
"LATE Detective Iyanda Kehunde Emmanuel (DIKE)" He said witha wide grin on his face, chief Amadi remained silent and was shivering when realization hit him.
"You guys killed my wife, my children, even me; but I am a survivor" he cried bringing out an axe from under the drivers seat.
"Say hi to your friends in hell and, definitely the last Person in this will join you guys in two weeks time" he concluded bringing down the axe on chief Amadi's head.
