Blood Legacy – Episode 19

Pieces of glass were shattered everywhere in the tiny room and there was a stench of blood. With one hand on the floor and a fist filled with blood, Hunter looked at Devi whose devilish smile didn’t fade on his face despite the punches that landed on his face the last 3 minutes. He didn’t leave Hunter unpunished as well, he threw in his most heavy blows on Hunter’s face that his nose was broken but it couldn’t be compared to how his jaw was hanging loose. The smile made it awkward.

Hunter knew he had to take him out for good. He charged and threw one punch which Devi weakly blocked and removed his knife. He swung it across Hunter but he stepped back seeing it pass through his face inches away. Hunter grabbed Devi’s hand with the knife and hit it in the joint the knife left his hand and dropped on the floor. Devi wanted to reach for it but Hunter beat him to hit and kicked it under the bed. With his hand held tightly by Hunter, Devi decided to jump on Hunter and poked his eyes. Hunter let go of him whilst his hands were in his eyes. Devi saw an opportunity and sprint kicked Hunter sending him staggering backwards and bumped into the dead Dumi and fell.

Looking up, Hunter saw Devi coming with full force at him. He got on top him and started throwing blow by blow by Hunter covered his face. The same height which worked in his favor last time was the one that acted in his disadvantage now when Hunter got up with and smashed his back on the door he temporarily blacked out.

“Give up Devi,” Hunter said breathing heavily and looking back at Ludo and Walu. “Stand up,” he told them.

Struggling, Devi wanted to stand up but failed. His whole body was in pain. He managed to grab the knob and pulled himself up.

Meanwhile Ludo and Walu were standing behind Hunter. Ludo grabbed her handbag and her phone.

“This is over Devi!”

“Don’t you think i didn’t anticipate this?” Devi spat some blood on the floor his hands reaching for the jacket. He removed a taser gun from his pocket. “I brought a taser to a gun fight,” he laughed.

Hunter stepped back covering Ludo and Walu. “I wanted to spare your life but i am killing you now Devi.”

Hunter charged but was stunned by the taser he went down on his knees. Devi was surprised he didn’t go down that easily. He watched him being fried but he was trying to get up till he got immobile and dropped down. Devi then pounded him with his final blow to the head he lay on Dumi’s body.

Seeing this, Ludo knew this was bad. She threw her bag towards Devi who acted like it was nothing. Walutanga jumped Devi but he too was thrown against the wall he became enveloped in darkness. Ludo ran towards Devi throwing her hands on him but he got hold of her and directly looked into her eyes outrageously. In an eyeblink, Ludo’s eyes turned white she started convulsing Devi let go of her and watched her drop to the ground like a sack. She agitated violently as if with irregular spasms. He had never seen anything like that he was amazed.

“So this is what they call a seizure,” he said looking at Ludo.

All three were now down including a dead body. Devi reached for his phone which was badly damaged but was lucky he could make a call.

“It’s done,” he said.

“Good,” said Ben on the other side sounding satisfied. “Now we can go ahead. I am glad this is coming to an end.”

“I just want that Naveen off of our backs,” Devi said and saw Hunter move. “Wait i will get back to you,” he hang up.

Hunter was trying to get up when Devi grabbed a table and smashed him on the back he completely blacked out.

Zamiwe and Joe were worried sick trying to get hold of Ludo but she wasn’t picking up. They didn’t know where she had gone except that she left with Walu to go buy some things. They waited the whole night till the following day and there was no sign of Ludo. Joe called the police.

*****

Hunter opened his eyes and saw the Dead Dumi with his eyes wide open. He felt his head ache like he had been run by a train. He then remembered what had happened and quickly got up but Ludo and Walu were not in the room. There was only one slipper, handbag and Ludo’s phone just below the bed. He feared the worst. He picked Ludo’s phone and directly went to the messages under Caesar’s name and browsed down to the address He had sent Ludo.

Police sirens from the distance could be heard. Hunter knew he was implicated. He grabbed Ludo’s bag and got his aswell and left the room. It was still early in the morning there was no one on sight he managed to leave the plot undetected. He called Melanie telling her what happened and that there was a body at her flat. He assured her he had nothing with it and would explain everything later. Melanie was speechless thinking about what had happened to her friend. He didn’t let her say anything and cut the line.

Hunter kept thinking about one name; Naveen. He was damn sure he heard Devi say it before he was completely wiped out. He knew there was someone more powerful behind Ben and Devi but he never thought it could be Naveen. They had crossed paths a while back countless times. His focus was on finding Devi and Ben but he had to wait till night time.

*****

Nightfall, Hunter found his way to the address he had found in Ludo’s phone. On his way, Joe had non stop called on Ludo’s phone. He didn’t have anything to tell him because he well knew that Joe didn’t like him. He put the phone on silent till it went off due to low power.

Reaching the place, Hunter observed it from a distance hoping to see any car coming or leaving but there was no activity for an hour he had been there. He finally decided to go in. He carefully went round the wall fence and ensured no one was looking at him. He jumped to the edge and peeped inside the yard but there was no one in sight but a car parked. The place looked deserted. He pulled himself up and jumped into the yard.

He tiptoed to the car park and grabbed a spanner. He looked around and there was a door in the park that obviously led to the house. He put down the bags he had carried. He went to the door and tried to pull it but it didn’t badge. As he was trying to pull it, something passed behind him quickly such that when he turned he just saw a shadow disappearing. Startled, he stood in a stance ready for anything thrown at him. Was Devi playing tricks with him? He asked himself as he found his way out of the park.

He decided to go to the main door. He figured since Devi didn’t ki*ll him, he at least knew sooner or later he would be followed. He went to the door and to his surprise, the door was unlocked. He entered feeling uneasy because this was turning to be way too easy. Something didn’t add up, Hunter was well sure about that.

As he entered the house, there was only one room that had its light on and it seemed to be the living room. He heard distinct voices as he headed for the living room but when he got there, there was nothing. Something caught his attention on the bar though. There was an opened bottle of whiskey and one filled glass cup. This made him agitated because he didn’t like to be played with.

Someone ran past him behind. He turned around but there was no one. Turning back to face the table, he Devi jump at him and kicked him on the face he fell into the next dark room. The spanner was on the floor. He wanted to pick it but his hand was stepped on by Devi.

“Enough,” Hunter angrily yelled and grabbed Devi’s leg lifting him up and threw him against the wall.

To Hunter’s bewilderment, Devi quickly stood up like he hadn’t just hit the wall. Hunter grabbed the spanner from the floor and stared at him. He couldn’t see him but from the little light perpetrating the room, he saw a grin on his face. This devil.

Devi ran charged throwing his foremans against Hunter who cleverly ducked them and swung the spanner at him. Devi blocked the spanner with his hand and quickly elbowed Hunter in the face he dropped the spanner. He grabbed Hunter and pulled him to smash him with his head but Hunter responded fast by pushing him away. While Devi staggered backwards, Hunter jumped at him with a punch which landed on his face he hit the wall with a thud.

“Help!” Ludo screamed in another room.

With urgency, Hunter charged towards Devi who was down but as soon as he got nearer, he was kicked on the knee he dropped to his knees. Devi quickly left the room. Hunter got up and ran towards where Ludo’s voice was coming from. He broke the door and found her tied on a chair. He untied her and helped her up.

“Did they do something to you?” he asked her.

“No but Walu,” she answered shakily.

“What happened to him?”

“I don’t know. I just woke up here tied on the chair. I didn’t find him.”

“Are you sure they didn’t do anything to you.”

She took a moment to answer, “Yes i am sure,” she answered assured.

Hunter heard the car’s engine start outside. That must be Devi. He left Ludo and ran as fast as he could. As he got outside, he found the car leaving driving out of the fence. He ran towards it and tried to dive on the roofing but slipped and fell on the ground. He watched it skid out of the yard and drove off.

“Damn,” he hit the ground in frustration.
