Chapter 23 - Trouble Calling 6

 " Hahahahaha ", Crazy laughter filled from the young man's mouth after he heard Emmanuel's. He stared at Emmanuel with eyes filled of insane guts. " You want to pay for two. How much is two watches. How much remain if I used it to repair the watches. And besides where are the watches you want me to repair " The young man replied Emmanuel. If eyes could kill, Emmanuel would have died a million times died to the young man creepy stare.

 " Mito, there's no time to waste, lets finish up what we are here for, so we could leave. " One of the five other thugs said hastily. He scanned the area with cautious eyes why speaking. He was obviously an intelligent person that knew that they shouldn't waste so much time. What they were there to do was something illegal, and so every seconds that passed by made him feel like he could be closer to a bad end. 

 " Hey Ade, relax. This environment is obviously a deeply concealed one, what could possibly go wrong. " Another of the thugs said. This thug in particular had a peculiarity from the rest. He was short and so he kind of stood out from the rest in appearance. The other thugs were all either tall or average height. Mito had an average height with an extremely slim body making him look overly malnourished. Ade on the other hand looked really tall, in complement with the tattoos on his face, and then the earrings on his ears, he looked like the perfect definition of irresponsible. His dreads were extremely unkept. 

 The short man who just spoke to Ade was named scorpion. Scorpion with his short stature and quite the muscular arm made him look like a boxer. He was on plain singlet with knickers hanging far below his waist. 

 Apart from Ade and Scorpion, there were three other thugs. This thugs are popularly known as Jp, Sammy, and Knife. Of course this weren't their real name. The only one answering his real name among them happens to be only Ade, whose full name is Adekunle, with Ade being the short version of it. Jp and Sammy were average height young men, also looking to be just a few years older than Emmanuel. They also both had average height, and their hair were on low cut style. Knife on the other hand could be considered as a really tall guy. His height was only shorter than Ade's by a bit. He also had a low cut hair though a bit rough, he still looked a lot more like a responsible person than Ade. 

 " What do you mean, you were the one who schemed against me. If it wasn't for your dirty tricks, how would you have ended up like that. And besides what do you mean by where are the watches I want you to repair, are you playing games with me or what. " Emmanuel on hearing Mito and his gang words first waited for a short while, before finally summoning the courage to speak up. He spoke with a slightly loud voice. Why yelling, a new idea came into his mind. ' How about I yell out. People might hear me and come to my aid. This people are obviously unreasonable, and they might really take away all the money I have if I keep on with this conversation, they are obviously irrational " Emmanuel thought inwardly as he stylishly looked around observing the place. This action obviously went unnoticed by all the thugs with the exception of one, Ade. 

 As soon as Ade caught sight of Emmanuel actions, he paused for a while. He entered a short deep thought before a glint suddenly flashed through his eyes. Just immediately he opened his mouth and spoke out " if I were you I won't try that ". Emmanuel whose mouth had already opened up, ready to carry out his idea immediately paused. " If you shout, no one would hear you " Ade continued. " And even if someone does here you, we will then see how which action would take longer, the person or people finding this place, or we not only still taking your belonging but also beating you into a pulp. Who knows, our punch might be to strong for you, and someone might just end up dead. I advice you to think it through before asking. " Ade finished his speech with a smile on his face. 

 Emmanuel gritted his teeth. He truly couldn't think of any other way out from the situation. " What exactly do you people want from me " Emmanuel asked. 

 " Ohhh, what do we want from you " Mito who had been quiet all this while why staring at Emmanuel with a predator eyes and arrogant smirk on his face. He seemed to be deriving pleasure from Emmanuel's fear. " Hahahahahaha " He suddenly started laughing again. He looked like a maniac who might not mind resorting to killing once provoked. " Well then let me tell you what we wasn't from you " He soon quit laughing and spoke, " First of all, you would have to pay for all my watches as due to your actions they were stolen. Then you would have to pay quite the amount to quench my resolve against you. Of course you would also need to give my brothers. ".

 On hearing the words spilling out from Mito's mouth, Emmanuel felt rage wash through his body. But more than the rage was another emotion, panic. He seemed to have gotten a bit of unknown information from Mito. " Stolen " He asked. 

 " Yes, stolen. See what you cost, all the wrist watches were stolen while I was searching for you. All you had to do at first was pay for a single wrist watch. But now things are different. You must pay every single dime for all the watches. Not one dime less. And I mean it " Mito spoke, his words just happened to be in perfect complement with his crazy expression. Emmanuel face paled furthermore. His heart rate of beating kept increasing at every seconds. Fear had invaded his being.
