EVERYBODY DE MENT 3: THE FINALE

Read the PART 1 here.

Read the PART 2 here.

If you've already read both parts, let's go!!

I do not know which was more insane.

Me; joining a gang for robbery without any training or briefing.

Or a rich man keeping a God-damn beast as a security personnel.

Immediately, he screamed; “Release the mentor!” “Release him now”.

The cage was opened wide and an elegant creature came through.

It was a bit hard to fathom what was coming through because of the partial darkness created by the scattered street lights present in his estate.

As soon as I could fully realize what was coming towards me and the boys.

I fell down out of shock.

IT WAS AN OSTRICH!!

Which sane man in Nigeria would keep an ostrich for security purposes?

Even in the movies, pets are either dogs or cats.

If it has to be a bird, then it's a parrot.

Not a freaking Ostrich.

This definitely must be ment.

 In case you do not know the capabilities of an ostrich; Let me enlighten you.

An Ostrich is supernaturally fast; the fastest land bird.

And despite the presence of wings.

These bitches cannot fly.

They are found in savannahs and plains and certainly not in people’s houses or estates.

They can run as far as 70km/h which beats the record of the World’s fastest man; Usian Bolt when he is at his best. 

Their attacks are unique and they can unleash dangerous kicks capable of killing even a lion.

If it can kill a whole King of the Jungle, why won’t it kill a mere Comrade?

Their attacks can easily migrate you to the land of the dead and back to the living.

Then the attacks with their head can either send you to the grave or to coma.

And there is a high possibility of you dying after the coma anyways.

Now you’re enlightened.

Let’s return to my tale.

Augustine and the rest were skillful criminals so their pace of running was much quicker than mine.

Even with the bags of money, these boys moved sharply.

I was slacking behind and this gave me the opportunity to see what was coming.

I was scared down to my bone marrow.

The ostrich let out a loud caw and began to advance towards our direction.

It was coming for complete war right now.

As I fell to the ground, a lot of thoughts ran through my mind.

From staying in the mental ward - To being released - To assisting a robbery.

Down to being almost apprehended by an Ostrich.

I thought of the ASUU strike because if lectures were ongoing, I would not be here.

I thought of my family and how they would receive the news.

“Young boy killed by Ostrich during robbery attack”.

A comrade can’t and will not die like that.

As it advanced towards me, it spread forth its wings and jumped really high.

Probably it would lead to an attack.

I closed my eyes and muttered some last words to grace my demise.

Now, at this point; things played out differently.

Ostriches attack when triggered, since I fell to the ground some moments ago.

It was focused on others that were still running.

It jumped over me and continued chasing the rest of my squad.

I wasn't considered to be a threat.

So I quickly hid and watched how things were going to escalate.

Augustine and two others were quick enough to reach the fence.

But couldn't jump because they needed team work to scale over properly.

Someone had to kneel down for another to climb.

Then the second to the last person would help the last guy to jump in.

That was how we got in.

But how would we get out now?

With the extreme commotion?

Every man was literally running for his life.

Within seconds, the ostrich reached them and it was insane.

One of the boys, with robbery nickname Razor was attacked first.

The ostrich used its head to sweep the nigga off his feet.

He floated in the air for some seconds before landing on the ground violently.

From where I was observing, I knew Razor has ascended for judgement.

No one would survive that.

Swiftly, the ostrich turned to engage the nearest guy there.

It grabbed another guy, and I didn't even get to know his robbery name or real name.

He was the shortest and darkest amongst us.

It kicked him so good and I heard a loud crack.

Maybe it was his bones or something close to his bones.

During this crisis, the politician was placing calls to the Police that he was being robbed.

My silent prayer was that the police get here as soon as possible before this creature sends all of us to the great beyond.

It's better to be alive in a cell than to die in this gruesome manner.

Now, the ostrich turned to attack Augustine and the rest.

But they were ready to defend, they ripped the bags filled with money and started throwing bundles of cash at the ostrich.

It was a beautiful sight to behold.

It was literally raining money.

The ostrich was stunned and started to move backwards.

Now, an opportunity was created and Augustine and the rest took to their heels.

They headed straight for the gate.

Even the short, dark guy that was attacked, miraculously got up and followed them.

The first security man was still knocked out.

Another security rushed and sealed the gate properly.

Now I was locked in.

He successfully trapped me, Razor and the Ostrich.

I could hear the sounds of sirens which indicated that the Police were close to the politician's vicinity.

The crime scene was strange.

Naira notes littered on the floor; amidst other bundles of cash lying around.

The ostrich was now strolling magnificently and returning to its cage.

Razor still laid on the interlocked floor.

I wasn't certain if he was lifeless or not.

I was about leave my hiding spot when I felt something hard land on my head.

I was knocked the fuck out.

What hit me and whosoever hit me remains unknown till date.

I woke up and it was broad daylight.

I didn't wake in my apartment or Augustine's place.

It was a very strange environment.

But it was easy to know where I was located.

Bare bodied men roamed the untidy premises. Every single person there was angry and agitated.

I was detained in a prison cell.

And my new inmates were no other set of people than Augustine and his gang.

They didn't accomplish running away successfully.

Police officers succeeded in apprehending all of them last night during the operation.

Razor wasn't present with us.

He had close to 4 or 14 broken bones.

He was receiving treatment in the prison's medical center.

From the information I gathered, Augustine had told the police all they needed to know so he could prove even a bit of innocence on our part.

He did all of that because he was trying to avoid a life sentence in this abattoir-looking kind of prison.

He exposed the politician that assembled us hoping it would serve a good deal in exchange for our freedom.

But, you know how the law works in Nigeria.

The police will still imprison the politician and not release us.

The information was useless.

The hit I had on my head was so extraordinary and painful.

It changed me.

At first it started with pains in my head, then I began to hear voices.

I still hear them right now.

Then I began to slowly forget things.

Afterwards, I just lost it.

"I was brought here for me to get better", he narrated.

"I was in this ward before, now I'm back here".

"They say I'm mad, but as you've listened, you know I'm not".

At this point, you should be confused but that's why I'm here.

This was narrated by an actual person.

His name is Richard Ebuka.

He is still mad till date.

Now this tale isn't fiction.

It's reality because this was narrated by an actual Law student that lost his sanity.

He narrated everything from the start and I simply modified it for y'all to read.

So you've read three parts of an insane tale from person where don ment.

You are probably thinking how a mad man could narrate something this fascinating.

He did to an extent. I had to add sugar and spice where needed.
