PART 13
” RECKLESS REKKY”

Mayor walked out of Moko’s office, he was weak and not sure of what to do.
He walked back into the deposition Unit. Joan had recovered her sight and was seated on the floor in the deposition unit obviously thinking.
On entering, Mayor realized Rekky’s body was no longer where it had been all day.
“ Where is she?” Mayor asked
“ Disposed!”
“ Why? Can’t you wake her up!” Mayor said
“ Mayor, she is gone… her Spirit ran out so fast. I saw her.”
Mayor joined her on the floor…
“ My son! Can you save him?”
Joan shook her head in the negative.
“ Check me out! Please! Can I replace my son?”
Joan looked up suddenly for the first time.
“ What are you planning to do?”
“ Give up my life for my son!”
“Who does that? Even me as a woman, I can’t do that!”
“ Well we are different… I love my son and I can die for him!”
“ Are you Jesus?” Joan said sarcastically
That struck a cord … That hit him really deep…
Mayor never believed in the death of Jesus Christ. He was logical about his thinking. He couldn’t swallow the thought that a man would die for the world, but here he was thinking of dying for his son.
“ Was Jesus real? Is he Truly the saviour of the World? “ Mayor said out loud
“ You believe in evil and Yet you do not believe in good.!” Joan replied
“ Joan… Did Jesus really die for the world… You know spiritual matters better than I do!”
“ Sure! Jesus is real, He is the Son of the Almighty who came to the World to make Known to the People about God as our Father. He gave up himself as the Ultimate Sacrifice for us to live just like what you are about to do…” Joan said
Mayor nodded.
“ I know everything you are talking about, my mother is a staunch Christian but very poor. That made me hate Christianity with a passion. I felt Jesus wasn’t real. If he was real, he won’t watch his follower wallow in poverty.” Mayor said
“ My exact plight… Born and Bred in a Christian home, but poverty dealt with me…that led me into search for powers but now though I regret it, I have learnt the truth!”
“ What truth!”
“ My parents were not poor because Jesus wanted them poor… They choose to be poor. My parents were lackadaisical when it came to the reality of life as regards working. They felt Jesus was going to pour His Blessings on them while they folded their arms.” Joan said
“ Hmmm… true… My mother was that way… She got a lot of job opportunities but she kept saying Jesus will not like me working there… She studied Hotel Management and after becoming born again she said she couldn’t work in an hotel and for that we starved. I couldn’t handle the starvation anymore… That made me develop a thick skin against Jesus and anything Christian…”
“ Mistake most Christians make… They are afraid of carrying their light into the darkness… If God had been afraid, He won’t have let his only son, the light to come into this dark world. My parents were scared of shining their light in the dark world and because of that we hid in the house and starved…” Joan said
“Yeah… it’s like …I am hungry and there is food outside, but because it Is raining, I decide to stay indoors.”
“Exactly… meanwhile now that I wiser, I think what my Parents should have done was to carry their light into the dark world and impact people with their light while doing their work which will earn them a living.” Joan concluded
Mayor maintained silence as he waited for the arrival of his son.
“ So are you still going to die for your son?” Joan asked after the long silence.
Mayor nodded in the positive….

” RECKLESS REKKY”

Mayor sat counting every second. He never knew it was possible to count time in seconds but here he was.
Mirabel!
His mind drifted to his wife.
His tears dropped. Mirabel was not guilty of any offense. Her only offense was getting married to him…
Austin!
He also was blameless, the error of his life was been born by him.
The sound of an approaching vehicle jolted him back from his Land of reflection.
“ Austin is here!” Mayor rose up quickly. Joan joined him swiftly.
Tony alighted from the vehicle, the same minute Moko walked out of his door.
Mayor rushed towards the vehicle. Austin laid on the backseat with his mouth taped and hands tied.
“ Tony …Why? The boy is sick already, why tie him up like a goat about to be slaughtered!” Mayor said with rage
“ That’s because he is a goat about to be slaughtered!” Moko replied
“ Get him to the deposition unit, immediately and prepare him for the auction.”
“ Moko please. You can’t kill my son! Kill me instead!”
“ Mayor… Lions don’t eat other lions!”
Moko said
“ Sameway, Lions don’t eat their own Cubs… My son is your son!”
“ They do, when they are starving..”
Mayor went mute as he knew he had no way out of this.
Tony carried Austin into the deposition unit.
“ Forgive the man under authority. I have to do what I am instructed to do!” Tony said.
“ Same here! I am just a messenger!” Joan said to Mayor.
Mayor rushed towards Moko again.
“Please, take my life instead! Mayor said
Moko looked at him long enough and said suddenly…
“ Fine! Prepare him instead and put the boy in my inner chamber.”
“ Thank you Moko, Thank you! Please I need to make a few calls. I will want my sister to raise my son.” Mayor said
Mayor knew Gladys, his sister inherited the love of God from their mother and was the best person to help him train his child.
“Not now!” Moko said. Moko had other plans. He was planning to still kill the son. Mayor was becoming a nuisance and therefore needed to be silenced.
******
3 hours Later, Mayor died.
Before he drew his last breath, joan advised him…
“ Mayor, if heaven is real, this is your last chance to get in. Pray and ask for God’s forgiveness. You didn’t enjoy life to the fullest, it will be more terrible if you live your eternity in hell.”
Mayor had nodded and with the last breathe in him, he spoke to God.
Mayor found himself walking on a lonely path in a open space. There were no walls or end to its space.
“ You were not meant to be a killer but a saviour, just like that Madman of Gadarene. He was given the loud voice of evangelism but the devil made him mad and he was using that voice to scream in the cave instead of the streets winning souls for God. Mayowa… wasn’t that the name your parents gave you before Mokolade who also changed his name to Moko changed your name to Mayor.
Your names were significant…
You as Mayowa were supposed to bring Joy into the lives of people but you ended up snatching Joy from people.
Mokolade was meant to be wealthy by pure means, he was a carrier of wealth from the Father’s Bosom. No matter what he laid his hand upon he was ordained to be wealthy. Even if he were to sell sand, he would have made money but he wasn’t patient for the appointed time. I waited for my appointed time, though as at the age of 12 years old I was already speaking wisdom, I needed to wait till I was 30 when the Spirit of God descended on me before I launched out. Mokolade could not wait for the season of financial manifestation so the devil presented a demonic alternative to him.” The voice said
“ We are sorry!” Mayor said to the invisible voice.
“ Do you know Mokolade tricked you? He is about to kill your son Austin!” The voice said
“ Ha! No… Please, do something about it! “ Mayor cried
“ Too late, We don’t hear the prayers of dead people.”
“ Oh my Goodness, if only I had seen this ahead, I could have done things differently…”
“ You think so?”
“ Yes! I mean if I can go back in time, relive the past one week, I could have done things differently, saved my wife from dying…”
“ Save Rekky, Martins, Osmond, the Innocent Cab driver, the innocent passersby that the fire explosion killed, yourself and Austin?”
“ Yes!”
“ Are you sure?”
“ Yes…”
“ Well my Father is the Ancient of Days, and that gives me power over time. I can do a rewind and give you the chance to see if you can do things differently!”
“ I can… please take me back”
“ Take the gift of 48 hours…”
********
Mirabel kept tapping Mayor…
“ Mayor snap out of your thoughts! We will miss Janet’s wedding!” Mirabel said tapping Mayor. Mayor was standing in front of the Mirror.
Mayor snapped out. He looked around strangely. Did he doze off while standing…
“ Babe, how long have I been standing here?” Mayor asked Mirabel
Mirabel looked at him strangely. His question was strange.
“ Just few seconds… you were here initially!” Mirabel said pointing to another corner of the room.
“ Are you okay?” Mirabel asked
“ I am fine! What is today?” Mayor asked
“ Saturday…Janet’s wedding!“ Mirabel said sarcastically but on a second thought she looked at him seriously and asked “ Mayor, what is wrong?”
“ My name is Mayowa. Don’t call me Mayor again! Mirabel we are not going for that wedding again.”
“ What do you mean Mayor! That is my best friend’s wedding. The only person you have allowed me to have as a friend.”
“ Ok, you go ahead… I have things to do today!”
Mirabel was lost for words…
“But first things First, we need to start taking God seriously!“ Mayor said, but Mirabel couldn’t comprehend what was happening… she had a feeling her husband was running mad.

” Mayor! Mayor!” Mirabel called after him as she pursued after him.
Mayowa was charging away from the house. He almost got into his car when he stopped. He remembered from the future that was the car he drove. He wanted to change the course of everything. He ran back into the house…
Mirabel saw the way Mayowa turned back swiftly to the house…
” Oh my Goodness, something has gone wrong with Mayor.'” Mirabel thought.
Mirabel with shaky hands started dialing a number even as she walked towards the security post.
” Madam, good Morning!” Ayo the security guard said
” Good Morning Ayo, my husband is not feeling too well today. I think he has a high fever. Shut the gate and give me the keys” Mirabel said even as her phone was dialing someone.
Ayo was lost as he looked towards the house. His Madam’s fear was confirmed as he saw his boss going towards one of the abandoned cars in the compound.
” Ayo!” Mayowa called out
” Yes sir!”
” Open the gate!”
Ayo knew something definitely was wrong. For starters, the car was almost like it came out from a dumpster. Was his boss trying to drive out a dirty car?. Ayo knew the best thing was to give Mirabel the keys.
” Thank you!” Mirabel mouthed at Ayo as she continued her conversation with the person she was speaking with over the phone.
By that time, Mayowa had driven the car to the gate. He kept blaring the horn as a signal for Ayo to Open the gate.
Mayowa stepped out of the car when he realized what was happening…
” What’s going on? Mirabel! I am fine. I just need to get to somewhere really quick!”
” Mayor!”
” Don’t call me Mayor! I am Mayowa!”
” Since When?”
” Since I was born.That is my birth name!”
” And you suddenly just remembered few minutes ago? Mayor, you are not fine and Doctor Mike is on his way to check on you!”
” MIRABEL! You think I am crazy?”
“No! God forbid! How can I think of that? I only think you are losing your mind!” Mirabel said
“You are saying exactly that!”
” Mayor…!” Mirabel was saying but when she saw Mayowa’s reaction of calling him Mayor, she took a pause before continuing with her statement.
” Mayowa.. if you are Okay, then tell me where you are rushing off to.”
” It’s complicated…I want to go and preach to a couple who may lose their lives tomorrow “
Mirabel became white with shock.Followed was an outburst of laughter and tears.
” You? Preach! Mayor, You are very unwell!” Mirabel hissed and walked back inside putting the key in her pocket.
Mayowa looked at Ayo expecting him to open the gate, instead Ayo raised his hands in surrender.
” Madam has taken the key with her!”
********
Martins sat on the bed chatting with Chioma on his phone as Rekky was applying some makeup on her face.
” She is getting ready for one of her escapades!” Martins texted
” Stop her! You should seriously!” Chioma replied
” Can Rekky be stopped? The good thing is, I am very unfortunate fortunate she doesn’t want to have s..x with me. She thinks she is punishing me, she doesn’t know she is helping me overcome my connection with her!”
” I just think she needs help… Sometimes we do things we can’t control!” Chioma replied passing a silent message about her bedwetting predicament.
“Can we stop chatting about her and talk about more serious things?” Martins texted
” Like?”
” Like a weekend getaway with my best friend and FIRST LOVE!”
” Get away
Martins smiled at Chioma’s abrupt disappearance. He knew there was no where she was running to. By Monday, the divorce paper would be ready. Chioma didn’t know about it and he was sure when she finds out, she would warm up to te idea of them getting back together.
” What is catching your fancy?” Rekky said as she noticed her husband smiling through the mirror
” What?”
” You are smiling at your phone…someone texting you some love messages?” Rekky asked sarcastically
” No…just watching some comedy skits!”
” Share it!”
” You can check it out on your phone much later, you shouldn’t be late for your outing!”
Rekky gave the knowing smile. Whatever, he was doing was not something he was willing to share with her.
” I hear watching porn drains one’s mental abilities!” Rekky said
” Really? Good to know!” Martins replied sharply. He was not in the mood for her chit chat.
” So..” Rekky pushed on
” So?” Martins kept playing the game as well
” So, stop watching porn on your phone!”
” Really? Do I have a better alternative?” He retorted
” Can’t you do without s..x? Because I haven’t been with you for some months you are taking to Porn!” Rekky accused
” Rekky…you are unbelievably wicked! Rekky you are callous! Rekky , why are you bent on me having a miserable life. You go out everyday to sleep with men and I stay at home doing what? “
” Mopping like a child that you are…I told you before we got married…I told you I love adventure and if you are not man enough I will go out to satisfy myself…”
” I am not man enough?”
” Go out, try a lady and let her give you the honest truth..you are my worse man ever…!” Rekky said
*******
” Mirabel..please let me out of the house. There is a couple I have to meet at their home this morning… particularly the wife. If she goes out today or tomorrow a lot of lives will be lost.” Mayowa pleaded
Mirabel walked away. She went into the bathroom with her son Austin and quickly locked the door behind her in fear. She was afraid Mayowa could hurt her with the desperation that shone intensely in his eyes.
” Mirabel,please open the door. We may lose our own lives too, the three of us will die on monday if I don’t go to their house today. I only have two days to get things right. Please Mirabel!”
Mirabel burst in tears…Her husband had gone mad.

” Babe,please don’t stand in the way of What God wants me to do. Listen, I have been in the future and in that future you died because of my bad deeds… Listen! Mirabel…I am a very bad person…I am a ritualist…I am not the person you think I am ….” Mayowa was ready to let Mirabel in on all that was going on but Mirabel cut in
” No! You are not a ritualist..Mayor you are not the one talking, you work with the government!” Mirabel replied
” Which Unit? Which Ministry? Under which department do I work with the government? Ask yourself Mirabel. I told you lies!”
” No! You work with a Special Operation squad!” Mirabel said adamantly
Mayowa knew better than to continue with the argument. He left the door and walked outside towards the gate. His only Option was to jump the fence, but Nemesis caught up with him.
In a bid to hide his personal life, he had erected his fence so high. There was no way he could scale that fence.
Ayo watched how his boss was looking up at the tall fence of the house..
“ It is obvious my boss is really unwell. Is he planning to jump over the fence?” Ayo kept looking perplexed
The horn of Doctor Mike sounded loudly at the gate.
Mirabel had explained the situation of things to the doctor and he was ready to inject Mayowa with a strong sedative on sight. Doctor Mike had come with with four hefty men to help him with the task.
Mayowa saw Mirabel walking towards him at the gate. She still had her party dress on. He felt sad he was the one disrupting her plans of going to her best friend’s wedding.
“ Mirabel, you didn’t have to call Doctor Mike on me. I am fine!”
“ Let Doctor Mike confirm that to me, once he can tell me, I am wrong, I will let you out of the house.” Mirabel said giving the key to Ayo.
Ayo Opened the gate for Doctor Mike and Mayowa did the unthinkable. He felt this was his chance. He ran out of the gate with the plan to escape. He knew Ayo was to fat to chase him down, Doctor Mike too Old to run and definitely Mirabel could never catch up with him.
Unknown to him, four athletic men were outside in Doctor Mike’s Car. The moment Mayowa ran off, the doctor instructed they chase after him.
Mayowa was so shocked by the four hefty men chasing after him that he stopped running and surrendered to them….
“ I am not crazy! Honestly …I am not!” Mayowa kept saying
They carried him back into the compound and instantly, Doctor Mike injected him.
“ And with what you just did, you think you are perfectly fine ?” Mirabel asked with tears flowing down her cheeks.
“ Don’t do this to me! Please I have to go somewh…..” the Sedative started its work…
“ Mirabel! Why? Why did you….” Mayowa dozed off
***********
He sat on his darkly jeweled throne. He knew something had happened but he couldn’t tell what it was. He had asked one of the demons to check what was happening. He wasn’t Omnipresent like Jehovah…
“ Jehovah has done it again!”the demon returned with the information
“ What!” He asked
“ He has reversed time for another human.”
“ Arrhggg… how long?”
“ 48 hours!”
“ You mean all the havoc we have done in 48 hours has been reversed!”
“ Yes, all the abortions, suicides, adulteries, fornication, murder, deaths, wrong decisions, betrayals in the past 48 hours has been reversed all over the world. “
“ Because of one man?”he said angrily
“ Yes!”
“Who is he? Is he as powerful as Joshua?”
“ Surprisingly, he works for us, he is a ritualist from Nigeria, Africa. He is one of the lowest recruits. He drains blood for a living.”
“ So why would Jehovah do that for him?”
“ Jehovah’s manifold mercies I guess… and possibly coupled with his parent’s walk with Jehovah. His parents had been evangelists.”
“ Find him out, stop whatever correction he was suppose to make, stop the work he came to do by all means. If we are able to stop him, we might still have back all our victories we had before it was reversed. Send a legion of demons against him.” The head of the demonic legions said
