Mimposo (Mountain top)
******†****†****†****†*******
Back at the mansion, I help the two women pack whatever, belongings they could lay their hands on, as the true intent of the attack begun to unfold. They were so many missing dots.
On the way back to the house through the tunnel as we took the lead ahead of the two women, Kogna had whispered, "the attack was meant for you and Kate."
"why?" I did ask. "guess the woman had some incriminating files against Lycan heights Ltd." He did reply and added… "for the other lady, they did fear Kate probably share them secrets with her… they did want to bring her for questioning. they want us to make sure nothing touched her".
"for your case, you went against the prince of Lycan heights, dr. Felix, and having all of you under one roof was a very good way to kill you and make it look like a robbery gone bad".
So many questions now puzzle my mind, as we headed down to the charcoal BMW packed right in front of the house, where Kogna was now having a smoke, deep in thought as we approached hastily.
The initial attempt had been to call the police, but Kogna preached against it making me see reason. Calling the police will be riskier than running away from this place into hiding where we can prepare a solid case against these titans.
To bring down Lycan heights, one needed more than the police, or a great lawyer or judge. The powerful empire had all those bases covered, and Kate knew this more than both I and Kogna, and didn't resist when we suggested an escape to a safe house I have outside the city.
Now I understand the source of this spilling wealth in the surroundings.
Both women regarded Kogna with revulsion as they stepped into the car. if the man took any note of this, he didn't show it as he turned the ignition.
And we sped out of the yard. The two women cling to each other in the back seat with moist inflamed eyes… their resemblance is intolerably uncanny in their traumatic state.
I wanted to reach out to them and tell them everything is going to be okay, but it wouldn't be of use. They have every right to be scared.
"chew more of the onions Kogna, it will help with the venom." "…. already chewed a handful. damn thing makes my eyes and nose leak like a feverish cow."
Through the rear mirror, I saw Kate grinning despite her mood, perhaps at the comment from the hitman.
I was giving Kogna the directions to the safe house as the car whined towards north-east into the mountainous regions of Mimposo… more than fifty kilometers away from the city.
I took over from Kogna at the wheels as I found his energy waning on the whirling path we now trod uphill. I am surprised he is still alive with some of the venom remaining in his blood.
"man, what a place you have here", Kogna said and whizzed as we zigzagged our way up the mountainous forest. We did been riding for more than two hours now.
All around us stood tall trees on imposing mountains and waterfalls running down gorges, deep below foggy evergreens that throw off a dreamlike effect to an onlooker, especially someone visiting for the first time.
Looking at the two women through the review mirror, I could see excitement in their eyes than fear of the treacherous road we were now maneuvering.
The plateau had that effect on every new arrival. It frightens you to the point of bliss…
We were whizzing our way on level ground on top of the more than 8000ft mountain.
There where houses and people walking on the streets in the small town on top of the mountain.
"I can't believe people live up here" Kate commented, excitedly. "yeah ma'am, I had the same feeling first time I visited this place, and believe me, I feel the same way every time I visit. The feeling never wears off".
"oh spooky, is like I am having an excursion in the nebulous.", Ruby echoed behind me ecstatically.
"I am glad you are having some great time ladies."
Ruby squeezed my shoulder reassuringly from behind, her chicks turning rosy with joy.
Perhaps a new found hope on a higher altitude where the dreams of humans seem a little closer to the sky, a place where there is enough room for stars to shine as bright as it could possibly shine.
And Lord knows I want the lady to shine, if I have the power I will give to her the entire milky way. Ruby what have you done to me? she was now like an addictive drug I can't do without, like opium, my opium, my Ruby.

"you are welcomed, boss". The security man echoed, bringing out steam into the cold night air when we drove into the yard.
"Thank you Kujo, I hope everything is ready in the house?". "yes boss, just the way you like it."
"and Nana?". "she is there, expecting you, boss."
"Kujo, one other thing". This remarked cause the security man to moved closer to the car.
"triple the security posts, with some of your best trusted men, I need a 24hour surveillance in all parameters".
"alright sir, I will make the right arrangements right away." I nodded and we drove away towards the estate.
"and you think that old crony can protect himself, and save some time to come protect us, if the sky turn grey, man I wouldn't count on that." Kogna said with distaste and Kate giggled at the comment…
"well Kogna, that old crony is more than what you are looking at, and if I leave you two in a ring, you probably wouldn't stand a chance against him".
"oh boy, who are you really? What a house you have here. Oh no spooky, what the hell!" Kogna said as he packed in front of the imposing grey house.
"is an old family lounge, Kogna. grandpa kuga bequeath it to me." "the crony had great taste," Kate interjected. "you could say that ma'am."
I stepped down to open the door for Ruby and Kate. It turns out Ruby was sleeping. her head resting on her mother's bosom.
Kate was about to wake her up, but I shake my head as I stretch my hands inside the car to scoop her up. walking towards the house, I caught sight of Kogna and Kate exchanging a what is going on kind of look and I smile to myself, if only they knew, what this woman has done to me.
When I entered the hall, Nana came out of the kitchen holding a spatula. She opens her mouth to speak, but on seeing Ruby in my arms her eyes turned wide, and her already open mouth that was about to speak gawked in silence.
"good to see you too Nana. Do attend to my guest, aye." I winked as I walked passed the amaze old cook, heading straight to one of the guest rooms in the down floor.
I pushed my way through the unlock door, walked to the bed and gently lowed the crush of my life onto the bed, and drew the white bed spread to cover her from the cold night.
It was then that I realized, I have been played by the maiden. She opens her sexy bright eyes and stare at me seductively. My loins stir and begun to melt like wax closer to heat.
And I am that wax on heat as she sat up and feasted on my toothless mouth hungrily, the nutty girl got nerve spooky. I match her with my own need but so conscious of the presence of the three people in the hall.
I broke the kiss, surprised at my own sanity, for with the woman I thought I had none left.
"sorry Ruby, we can't do this here while they wait, I can't look at your mother in the eye ever again."
"and here I was thinking you are some tuff unconventional bad boy that will like to play nasty, spooky". She taunts.
"no Ruby, even bad boys know the time and place to be bad and nasty". I taunted back. "have a shower and come out to dinner, let me go get the bags, later you can choose a room you like, when I show you around."
she pouts like the mummy spoiled girl that she was…
But the gesture turned me on nonetheless, every vice of the lady is a weapon in her arsenal against me, "okay Ruby, you want it, you get it."
this time I didn't kissed her sensual lips, I went straight to the left breast, and she help brought it out for me, I suckled and nibble on it with my toothless gums till she was aching and moaning like a virgin.
I release her and lock eyes with her in surprise… "you've never done it?" my question was more of a statement, yet she nodded breathlessly with eyes blazing… we are so screwed spooky…
"see you at dinner Kuga, spooky, or Yakim, or whatever you choose to call your yourself". She giggled with glee like a little girl out for her first candy party, and my member stood stout in acquiescence…
