(Chapter 4)

               [Kemeil's pov]

  Three dead bodies, blood everywhere, naked crying women, and Rye's goons blabbering a hundred miles per hour, was the scene that greeted me at the tent we constructed for resting which the dirtbag took over.

  I stopped Everol has he was about to walk pass me with a torch, "what happened?" I asked him. "Not sure sir, but from what I've heard so far, one of the women that were taken here today had a gun on her."

  "Oh?" I said a bit surprised, since captives by Rye and his crew were always the ones at the receiving end of whatever ill acts Rye and his goons decided to dish out to them.

  They were normally the ones who would be at the receiving end of a bullet or bullets, whatever Rye felt they deserved.

  "It seems she took them all by surprise, since they are no talk of retaliation", Everol spoke again, "three dead and four injured including stinking ass Rye", he paused looking at me.

   We both held a great dislike for Rye, "anything else?" I asked, my interest just went up a whole notch. "they are taking them down to the ship to get medical attention right now.

  And thier is no sign of the woman, the scouts are out looking now." He finished.

  Women were being handed towels and any material that could be quickly found to cover themselves.

  The woman I saw earlier with that towel hugging herself was very lovely, a pity, Rye didn't partial anybody he felt he should cause harm to.

  Their was a good amount of blood on the towel, that lunatic, my blood boiled, I hope he dies from his injuries.

  I wanted to head to the ship right now to ensure that he did, but my families lives could be jeopardized by me killing him now, he also had more men with him, than I had right now.

  I wondered which of the woman was that good, taking down three of Rye's men plus injuring him. I smiled to myself the motherfucker deserved it and more.

  Turning to go back to the tent I occupied, I felt a relief knowing that I'll be going back on the ship early in the morning.

  Though I didn't trust the fucker, he might convince his cousin to sail the ship before the given time tomorrow.

  The army major had provided me with the information I needed, I was glad I didn't have to torture him to get it, my time was saved.

  Nevertheless a snitch is a snitch, I had Everol and my right hand man Jamie turned him over to the men working with me, without Rye and his clowns suspecting anything.

  This will hopefully be the last time him and his goons get to violate anyone, especially in my presence, without me being able to stop him.

  If Ronald did not kill him I would, he has been a pain to me for years now and the moment I and my family had to travel with him, he had been nothing but a venomous plague.

   I don't know how Ronald sleeps knowing such a pyscotic swine has his cousin was on the same ship. Hoping that the evidence that we have been getting is enough to get him locked up somewhere, I don't care where as long as he's dead, I also wish that President Buddhi would die already.

  I closed the flop door after entering my tent, Thankfully I've finished with the files, tomorrow I can leave, now I want to sleep for a few...... "what the fuck?" My belongings were strewn out onto my bed.

        [Mishand]

  "Leave it until tomorrow, I'm tired anyways, I told you Kaheim, I've been trying for the past two hours to open the damn door, it just kept shocking me and it won't budge." Said an upset Mishand, "the owner must have locked and left it, the shithead Rye took some of the innocent civilians with them, Mishand, you should have seen Kemeil's face and you let us come this far?"

  "We can spread our bed here, tomorrow we will try opening the campervan again," said Mishand to Kaheim who only murmured, "mhnm." "It would be nice getting it to the ship, imagine us having our own little space. Tsk, if Kemeil was here the van door would be opened already."

  "Stop comparing me to your brother!!. I hate it!!. Gosh fix up your own damn bed."Kaheim said angrily,  "Fuck off you idiot." Mishand told him angrily.

          [Itrisha's pov]

  I woke up with a start, someone was running, I wiped my bleary eyes trying to quickly wipe away the sleep.

  Where in the hell am I? I asked myself, kissing my teeth as reality kicked in. There were sounds of walking foot steps, I rose up on my knees but kept low.

  I could hear voices a little distance from where I am, but they were lowered with whomever they were moving further away.

  Massaging my cramped hand, that had held the gun underneath my side while I slept, I quickly pulled the jacket on throwing on the backpack next.

  Listening intently, straining my ears to hear, I heard foot falls then someone saying, Hurry up I want to get back to your grandma. I peeped up from where I was bending down I saw a lady with two children going around a corner of a roadway.

  Scanning the area then getting up, I walked the short distance to the roadway, I heard some foot falls and talking again, I ran a little distance back into the bushes with my heart racing. pebeep! A van came into view then disappeared around the corner too. A man, and three women came into view, carrying bundles of I guess thier possessions. They too went around the corner.

  Pulling down my pants I took a quick piss, finishing I pulled my clothes up, belting back the gun tightly to my waist and walked quickly out of the bushes.

  I started walking briskly in the direction they all went. On going around the corner I saw a road that turned off a short distance away.

   A small amount of motorists and pedestrians were going this way and that a few peddlers were on the curb plying thier wares, It was almost like normal. A sign post at the curb of the road read ⬆️ Annotto Bay Portland, to the north and ➡️ Port maria to the east.

  There was another written sign on the other side of the road marked, To the camp.

  People were headed to and from that direction, feeling a bit joyful, I made my way to the turn off. Turning onto the road which was marked to the camp, it looked different from the way I had traveled but I continued thinking to myself that this must be
another entry route.

  I did not have to go very far before realizing where I was, it was infact another camp site. Similarly set up has the one I was before and wanted to get back to. My spirit fell.

  
  Those evil men must be looking for me, I really want to get back to my daughter and drive away to somewhere and hide.

  Not sure about what to do, I looked around, I didn't know anyone here, people were just going about there business.

   The usually cursing about something or other could be heard. It was most definitely nearing noon judging by the suns position in the sky.

  Urghhmn!!! Someone cleared thier throat some distance behind me, on instinct I kimboed with my hands on my sides, but it was really to place my hand near the gun should I need to use it.

  Turning around slowly I did a double take jumping back in fright. The serious man was standing a couple steps away from me.

  I tried not to look as terrified as I felt, with my heart beating like a baseline, I tried to calm my nerves and think.
 

  His height, stance and muscular physique, made me want to run but I stood my ground.

  He was looking at me and I at him, he wasn't saying anything and neither was I, we just stood thier and kept staring at each other.

  I hope he could read mines or my eyes, because they were speaking.

Pussyole if yuh step to mi, mi a defend miself an' fuck u up like u fren dem so if a dirt a dirt.
  

  A man walked up to him from the side carrying a black bag, he was about to say something to him, but only begin to look me up and down when he saw me standing a couple steps away from them.

  I saw that same man with him yesterday, they both walked out of the tent I used the toilet in, or the hastily built latrines rather.

  He looked me up and down then say something to the serious man turned and walk back the way he had came.

   The serious man walked up to me and I stood rooted on the spot, a million thoughts flew through my mind, but I stood thier without being able to move.

  He pushed his hand in the pocket of his jacket that I was wearing, while I stood thier frozen with the hot sun beating down upon our heads.

  Taking out his hand with a brown envelope in it, I felt like an idiot, I didn't search the pockets I hadn't even thought of checking, not even on the long walk here.

  He turned away heading the same way the other man went, leaving me standing thier just like that. I should have felt relieved but instead I was confused.

  After about five minutes, maybe more, I finally summoned up enough courage to go see what was in that direction.

  After all we were at a military campsite which had military guards, even though I haven't seen any around, and judging from yesterday's outcome, I don't think that impedes them.

  I didn't see him neither the other man, everyone was still minding thier own business as I looked around nervously.

  Then my eyes fell on a dirt track, leading away from the camp, I looked down the track as far as my eyes could see but thier was no sign of them or anyone going or coming from thier.

  Without thinking about it I started along the track, I took out my knife and held it in my left hand. Slowing each time I reached a bend in the track, I would craned my neck trying to see what is around thier before going.

  The jacket was beginning to feel unbearable it was well oversized and hot. Why didn't he take his jacket by the way, I wondered, or his bag for that matter.

  After walking for quite a while I begin to question myself, why did i decide to walk through this track, pausing to take off the bag to get a bottle of water, I was sweating profusely.

   Drinking some, I begin to walk again I felt like I lost a couple pounds well.

  Just as I thought this track wasn't going to end I heard voices and a vehicle starting up, I slowed my walk slightly bending has not to be seen.

  The bushes stopped and banana trees began, there was a clearing ahead at the end of the track.

   I walked off the dirt track into the shelter of the banana trees, trying hard not to step on any dried leaves.

   Getting close enough I saw some foreigners, just a few but the place was cleared, this had to be where I was yesterday.

  The old barn building across the way surely resembles the one we went into yesterday, it was no doubt the same place, Looking to the far side...my campervan!! I gulped almost choking on seeing the campervan here.

They must have went in search for me and took the campervan with my child.

   I screechied through the bushes trying to get to the other side unseen, my daughter was at the forefront of my mind.

  I stopped, crouching low as I saw a young man acting as a look out, he looked about twenty years old.

  There was no sign of my daughter, I saw a woman and a man walked up to the camper, they were talking while the man was using a small hose to put petro in the gas tank.

   The man got in the driver's side and  the woman on the passenger side, the few others including the look out foreigner got into a van and they droved away.

   Where was my child and the other People? I wanted to cry out my frustration. The place became really quiet as they left, I was very tired but I decided to go into the direction they had just went.

   As I was battling myself on where they could have gone to, a memory struck. The night before one of the men said, "wow! I'm gonna fuck another black pussy before we sail tomorrow."

  Tomorrow is today, and they were going away with my campervan...

   Trying hard not to let the tears slip I started walking faster, I was really tired, I wondered if my daughter was still in the truck.

  Those people were kidnappers and rapists, so far I've only seen that one woman, who went in my campervan.

  My head throb with an headache, the thought of my daughter being in the the presence of those evil peoples made my belly hurt.

  I walked on hardly passing anyone on the way, this part of the island was active with civillians, but due to all the bad things happening only a few people were on the roads.

  Worried to the core about my daughter, knowing her she would probably squeeze somewhere and hide.

  Thinking about where she and her friends would hide as the space in the truck was sparce, one under the bed, two in the tiny bathroom, three...

  VROOM!! An army jeep was approaching me from behind, on the roadway. Women have been told to stay indoors in around the campsites, because of the abductions, robberies and rapes.

  Or walk in groups whenever they had to go somewhere, we were also told to avoid lonely bushy areas, like on this main road that I'm now walking on alone.

  Acres upon acres of banana trees grew on both sides of the road, for miles on end, I've been walking for a good while now, maybe an hour now more or less.

  The jeeped slowed beside me,  "where are you headed ma'am?" The soldier that was driving questioned me.

   "I need to get to Port Maria to collect my daughter sir," I replied, he looked at me still walking beside the slowly moving jeep. The jeep slowed to a stop and he said, "hop in, we are headed that way."

   I couldn't believe my luck, I gladly hopped in thanking him and telling the others a hearty good 'morning sirs.' They answered, their were five of them, two in the front and three sitting alert in the back, two on one side and one on the other I sat next to him.

  When we were about halfway of the journey, I suddenly remembered that I had an illegal gun and ammunitions on me, I remembered also that I killed and wounded the foreigners too, and wondered if any of the foreigners had reported me.

  Then again they are obviously criminals, after seeing the serious man and those men taking that army major away, I didn't know what to think or who to go to.

  If the army officials couldn't protect us from them, then who could.

   I felt nervous but kept my composure, sneaking a look towards each soldier, but they were all looking out for danger or minding thier own business, they weren't paying me any mind, but even so I couldn't relax, I was very on edge.

   I thanked the soldiers on getting out of the jeep in Port Maria, wishing them a good day.

   After asking for directions from a few peddlers in the not so busy town, I stepped off in the direction of the Port.
