A deal with the devil...
"I didn't have to do this".
That would be the hundredth time I said that to myself ever since this nightmare began a week ago.
True.
I did not have to go ahead with my plan to rob the house with the hoodlums, but I sure as well can't wait to find out what will happen if I didn't.
My twin sister is going to die... because of me, so I might as well put on my big brother hero pants and shed this jittery feeling and get this done with, just like the Doctor said "Every second counts".
My sister is on her death bed; hell will freeze over if I am going to sit around and watch the worst happen. I have to do something to save the only family I have.
The bastard, my uncle, who caused this whole predicament is somewhere living his luxurious life at the expense of our misery. Ever since we lost our parents to the plane crash 5 years ago, everyday has been hell, but my sister and I found solace in each other until this happened.
I know my uncle to be a womaniser, he chased everything under skirts and on many occasions I'd seen him making overtures to my sister. I did my best to stay around her always, we even share the same room.
As fate would have it,
Unfortunately, I came back from jamb lessons to hear screams inside the house, rushing inside I found the lecherous bastard trying to force himself on my sister. I lost all rational thought and within seconds I had the old bastard on his back punching the life out of him.
My sister tried to intervene, I wish she hadn't, I wish she had just stayed out of it. I was trying to place her aside, away from the violence when my uncle got the upper hand and in the middle of the commotion Kehinde was pushed down the stairs...
Now, thrown out of the house with no relative to run to, no alternative, I'd run helter-skelter, even to ATM stands to beg for funds but the little I can raise is so insignificant compared to the huge sum of money I have to pay.
Until, I met Orlando and his guys, now am about to rob a house. At this point, I don't really care as long as I can raise the money for my sister's surgery.
I am going to do all I can to save Kehinde even if I have to strike a deal with the devil.
