The Room I was kept in was quiet the Scare.There were traces of blood at each extreme of the room and some are still Fresh.I was tied to a Chair that was at the center of it all.The light was on and that was more than enough reason to believe this was strategic.I was left there for almost two hours now for one purpose and one purpose only.They wants me to be extremely afraid.I tried so hard to keep my cool.To think that the Blood i was seeing was the blood of my patriot gave me the worst pain..
Me:I did not choose to be a black man.
I murmured to myself.Something in me was changing i can feel it.
The door opened and Jackson came in with a Smirk on his face.. He must really be enjoying This.He draws chair that was at one corner of the room close to me and sat on it.
Him:I must really be a fool if i say i did not know the stunt you and your minions pulled..
What is he even Saying..
Him:let me tell you a thing or two about Legacy and pride.
He came very Close.
Him:You see,the black Zone was the base of Every Nevilla born drug dealers.It was a busy road and very productive at that. But i wiped them all out.. I did!!! And that's my pride and will be my Legacy..What do you think will happen to history if it says that at my watch you teenage brat sold Dope at Black Zone and went Scot Free..
He started Laughing for some seconds and stopped..
Him:I must commend your brain Trueborn you know i will come, you know i won't Let that happen and you are fool if you think an experience detective like me won't know that was a perfect setup to get me out of the Sanctuary.
So He knows. He was a very intelligent Officer,i give him that.
Him:but you forgot one tiny detail Mason.You should have had the mind to sacrifice the insignificant once but damn you had to be the hero is it not. Because Fuck you!!!!!
He stood up aggressively and held me tightly on the throat..
Him:Right now I got something better in you.. Cause Ama open your skull if i have too and you are going to tell me every motherfucking big guns and their location.you are going to disclose all your hideout and you know why,you Mason Trueborn is the fucking big Fish i have been looking for...
His grip on my throat was so Painful.I could hardly breathe.
Me:I would die a million times before i reveal any Neville Secret to you.Once a Nevilla, always A Nevilla and no matter how unbearable the pain is, we dont bulge because that's the Nevilla Spirit..
I said while still struggling to breath from his grip.I meant what i said.What i said infuriated him so much he removed his hand from my throat and slapped me uncountably.i was spitting blood Already.
Him:On a second thought..
He said after almost 30 minutes of beating me Up..
Him:why would i waste my time torturing you when you are just a common Negro..I could just Frame your whole Family up bring them here and start torturing them instead..i could even end up killing them.
My eyes Turned red instantly and i started struggling Real hard to free my self from the chair i was ties on.
Me:I will fucking Kill you!!
I said with blood shot eye while i struggled with the Chair and i meant every single word.
Him:Tell me something Mason..
He said as he bent down towards me smiling at my pain..
Him:How does it feel to be helpless,Come off your Pride,we both knows how this is gonna end and it won't end well for you if you don't start talking..
Hot tears emanated from my eyes as i looked him straight in the eye.
Him:If i make this Call,Your mum and Your Brother would be arrested immediately and brought here. Around this part of the World,I am The voice of God and you know that..Now start Talking!!!
This was hard Fucking ten times harder than all the pain i have ever faced in my life.How would i live with myself if i betray my team, but how will i also live with myself if i become the end of my whole Family.left to me, i would not dare choose,but i know how this ends.
Me:I..I..
The door opened surprisingly and a woman entered.I know who she was,bit i still think it was a Dream the Magistrate..She closed the Door behind her and began talking.
Jackson:Evening Ma'am..
Her:Dont ask me questions just do as i say. Wrap this thing up and send the boy home Tomorrow don't torture him again Too..My Political career is at stake here.
Him:i don't understand.....
Just like that a big slap landed in his Check.
Her:I made you Jackson,You don't ask Question,You only Listens and that's an order.
Him:Roger that Ma'am.
She left the room immediately..I should thank her for saving my life,but I would never do that even in a million years.
Jackson:Today is your Lucky day Mason.
That's was all he said before he left the room, instructing whoever that was at the door to clean me up and untie me from the Chair.
What in the name of God happened for Fuck Sake.
GRACE.
It was almost time for inspection and Mr You know who my Fake husband has succeeded in calming me down telling me to do this perfectly and probably get granted a favour by the Oracle..
I had put a finishing touch to my clothes when i heard a knock at the door.
Me:Sweetheart someone is at the door help me open it..
I said in a very sexual sense thinking it was the state delegates.Mr Spenser my supposed husband did not grab the message and I rushed down instead.this night has to be prefect, i need to play it perfectly for my Son.
The face that i meet when i opened the door,was the last face i ever want to see at this moment,the first face i actually wants to see after this assignment is done.. The High Priestess.
Her:Grace Trueborn.
She came inside.
Her:Pledge The Fifth.
Me:I Grace Trueborn Cum Mr Spencer Pledge the Fifth.
Hee:What is the first rule of the Oracle..
Me:You shall not lie..
Her:But you did..
I became shock by her sudden statement.
Her:Your Son Mason Trueborn is a big Fish in the Drug World..
Me: Whatever my son does it's on his own accord and his Secret to Keep..
Her:Listen and listen attentively Grace Trueborn You are an Oracle and as your Priestess here is your command..
She brough out a note.. I Pray it does not end me because frankly there are some things i won't do even as an Oracle..
Her:Because we released your Son for he is an offspring of an Oracle and thus deserves Mercy,you must disclose to the Oracle all the drug lords in Nevilla,their locations,hideout and Distributors. Failure to Comply ,you would be stripped of your membership as an Oracle and sentenced to death along side your Family..your grace ends in a Week..The Oracle have Spoken.
I am grateful that my son was released and that all that mattered to me. Call me selfish i will agree but what i will never be, is a mother who abandons her own child.
Me:The Oracle have spoken,i shall obey.
Her:you can now go an prepare for the Inspection.They are already here. Remeber the third Rule,Make them believe your lie.Here is a community of equality and equity be you black white or coloured...
Me:Afirmative..
I don't feel proud for what I do,I hate that i am even a member of the Oracle.But you have got to do what you gotta do to survive..My name is Grace Trueborn.
