he turned his gaze towards the ward as the doctor, a woman in her early fifties emerged from the ward.
“Mr Ray?” Sammy gave a stiff nod.
“Your patients are fine, but you go and be back by say 6pm, by then they will be able to go with you” She gave him a warm smile.
“Okay, thanks doctor”.
“Hullo! Its the Major speaking, yea, our man has headed towards the Rain Station, dispatch your men there now and get the jerk down, before he does more harm, we’ve already lost so many lives ‘cos of him”
———————————
Allen struggled with thorns and thickets as he wangled his way towards the Rain Station through the tunnel. As cloudy as his brain had been before, he was now calm and his brain was normal, whats more! His eyes were normal too! – All ‘redness’ gone! He came to discover this when he bent to wash his face in as little stream he had stumbled upon. Allen was now his normal old self, he was now Philips Allen, Aragon Allen was now a thing of the past!
Arriving at the Rain Station early enough, ATHEN parked at a respectable distance from where he thought ALLEN would emerge from. The police force members already hidden in strategic places and behind coverings nearby waiting for their man to emerge as the Major had told them earlier on.
The station was clear, deserted and almost empty, but within corners, behind drums, behind bushes around, lay many mobile police officers heavily loaded, all guns set and pointed to the direction they think their man, Allen , would emerge from, they had been ordered to ‘get the jerk down’ by the police commandant whom they all called Major.
In this atmosphere did Athen drive in with the car Allen had requested, he sighed relief when he saw the station all cleared out, unknown to him were the dozens of police and cops that lurked in hideouts around. The cops were happy to see Mr Philips Athen whom they thought had come out also in the bid to rid Kambury of the ravaging vampire. They didnt bother to notify him of their presence since they had already gotten the command to “blast the bastard to pieces” as soon as he came out through to the station.
While Allen made his way roughly through the bushes and hard-sharp grasses, Athen waited patiently for him. The cops were also waiting.
The time was past three now, and Allen could see the light entering the bush from the station. The station was quiet and empty. Allen peered out slowly, looked left and right with no soul in view. He then sighted the the car, knew it was Athen. He came out from the bush and walked briskly toward the car. Athen cleaned his eyes, happy to see his dear brother once more, and clicked the front door open.
Allen was now halfway from the car which was also the middle of the station’s vast compound, then all of a sudden, like the speed of light, guns, countless, exploded from all corners of the station at him as hundreds of police and cops officers ventured out from their hiding places, firing unflinchingly at “their man”.
Allen stopped at the middle of the station, lifted up his hands and fell face-flat to the dusty ground. His body was torn to pieces by the hundreds of bullets that exploded towards him. As Allen’s blood flowed, Athen’s tears flowed.
His surprise and shock at the deafening explosion left him speechless and transfixed. As he saw Allen’s battered body fall to the ground, he blacked out right inside the car.
