PROLOGUE
This was starting to get embarrassing for me. He has
been gone for approximately 15 minutes now how
long does a trip to the bathroom take? It was
ridiculous!. I hate house warming parties more
especially if I don't have Personal relations with
anyone here except for the Person I came with.. I
looked at the time again it was now 22:15. Iker is a
mess how does he bring me over to a house party
only to leave me hanging? In a house full of soccer
players with their gold digging girlfriends trophy
wives and sides. They were too fake for my liking I
wanted to be out of here already! Their presence
was suffocating me in the most uncomfortable
way..

Voice: Hi
I turned and looked at the person in his flashy black
suit holding a glass of what is probably the most
expensive whiskey in the house..

Him: Scar

Me: Zitha

Scar: Nice to meet you

He had a scar on his face definitely how he got the

nickname..

Scar: I'm sorry but you look very familiar

Me: Yes I am Philani Magasela's Daughter

Scar: I knew it! Mr MG
They call my father that because of our surname I
don't get it though there's an "a" in between the
"M" and "G".

Scar: Right now I can safely say you the most

important Person in the room

I shook my head a little..

Me: Actually my Father is and he's not here

He chuckled..

Scar: Either way

A few years ago there was this soccer team that was
doing bad ranked the lowest and the worst. When it
was crumbling down my Father bought off the
previous owner then he got a good coach let go of a
few players and bought at least 3 skilled players.
One of the players is my boyfriend Iker. He's
originally from Ghana and honestly the best in the
team. He plays center forward and last year he won
an award for the most goals scored. Most people
especially the fans of the opposing teams have
accused him of using a portion of some sort

Sponsored
 but the honest truth is that soccer is Iker's life. It's
in his DNA and he worked damn hard to be where
he is today. We have been dating for 3 years now
when we started the relationship he had just got off
a very stressful relationship. I only started having an
interest in soccer after knowing about him and how
well admired he was. I went to a few games sat on
the VIP box section did personal meet and greetings
with the players after the game and that's how he
took an interest in me.. We didn't date straight
away it took a bit of time.

He's younger than me he's 27 and I'm 29 but we

compliment each other so well. You would never
tell..

Scar: I am Iker's friend but in another team now

Me: I thought soccer players who weren't in the
same team hated each other

He laughed revealing his perfectly aligned white

teeth..

Scar: Not all the time

I nodded...

I looked at the time..

Scar: Am I keeping you from something?

Me: No.. Not at all I just.. I'm wai-

I saw Iker walking down the stairs..

Me: I was waiting for Iker

Iker: Scar!!!

He literally shouted all the way from the staircase..

Scar: Eyy poi

Iker made his way to us and greeted Scar with

shoulder bump almost knocking his glass..Iker hit
him hard on his shoulder.

Iker: I'm glad you here Brother

Scar: Yeah me too

He then sniffed and wiped his nose I looked down..
Iker put his arm over Scar's shoulders..
Iker: I come very far with this Brother of mine

This was humiliating he was sniffing cocaine. He is

back on cocaine after he saw how it almost
destroyed his career. Not everyone who is here is
sincere what if there's a reporter? Tomorrow he'll
be making headlines..

Scar: I think you should call it a night

Iker: What for? The night is still young!

Scar remained quiet..

Me: I need to get home I'm tired

Scar: The Madam has spoken

Iker: Can't argue with that her father owns me

He started laughing but Scar didn't laugh. I put the

glass of champagne on the counter.

Me: I think I'll call an Uber

Iker: bebê (baby) come on it was a joke!

I made my way to the door..

Iker: Zee?? It was just a joke

He followed me until I made it outside he grabbed

my arm. I turned around and slapped across the
face..

Me: May this be the last time you embarrass me in

front of your friend!

He put his hand on his cheek and chuckled.

Me: It's the last time! I swear!

He raised both his hands and looked down shaking

his head his head came back up with him biting his
lower lip..

Me: Should I Uber home or you will take me home?

Iker: Next time you lose your shit never put your
hand on me do you understand? Your father might
own me but I'm the only Person in the team he
can't fire! So think about that Princess!
He walked away..

Iker: I believe you know where we parked the car!

My Name is Zitha Magasela the Daughter of Philani
Magasela and Nompilo Zungu. My Mother is late
she passed on a few hours after giving birth to me.
All I know is that there were complications never
really got down into details on what happened to
her..

My father was the one who raised me I heard when

my Mother's family wanted to raise me he refused.
He sent his family to pay damages do imbeleko so
that I could also take his surname the respectable
traditional way..
I commend my father for taking up the
responsibility of being a Single Parent yes along the
way there were times when my Mother's death
caught up with me but Dad was always there.
Loving and supportive.

We weren't always rich my father struggled through

in life to be where he is today. Quite frankly we
lived with his Parents until my early teenage years
as he was trying to realize his dreams. He worked a
lot of dead end jobs then later on in life. Took a leap
of faith and started his own business and it slowly
progressed to where it is now..

He deals with dairy products and recently he has

added 100% fruit juice to the mix... Then on the
other hand he has a soccer team and runs two
orphanages.. He is my hero They say "Perfection"
doesn't exist but my Father is perfect in all ways. He
is a good honourable Man I look up to him.. There's
just one slip up that he did and that slip up. Her
name is Rosina Mqhele-Magasela they got married
last year and it was the most expensive wedding I
have ever attended. My Dad spent a million on it
she was too demanding... The age gap is also
unsettling he's 55 and she's 25.. Basically my Step
Mother is 4 years younger than me.. She's a gold
digging harlot that has trapped my Father with her
Vagenda because her Vagina is the only thing she's
contributing into this marriage..
I am a photographer and an artist I have my own Art
studio. It's not doing bad but it could do better. Just
that my country is not very strong on Art it doesn't
bother me much though. I am not struggling My
Daddy's money is always available..

It was a Sunday morning and I was sitting on the

high chair watching the morning news with a sketch
book on the table and a few colouring Pencils. My
portraits and the pictures I take aren't just for
decoration. They tell a story. They have a story
behind them..

My Dad walked in his golfing outfit..

Dad: Princess

I took off my glasses..

Me: Good morning

He came and kissed me on my forehead. On

Sundays he plays golf with other rich people like

him his friends..

Me: One day I'll join you

He turned and looked at me.

Dad: That would be great some Daddy and
Daughter time would work good

Me: I'm just joking Dad I don't even know what you
do. I know you own a business but what is it that
you do?

Dad: That's a disappointment

Me: I know you blabber about it all the time but

what is it again?

I like teasing him..

Dad: I am in the dairy product business

Me: So amazing how milk makes one rich these days

He poured himself a cup of coffee..

Dad: It pays the bills and runs the orphanages well

so..

One orphanage is strictly for girls the other one is

strictly for boys. He doesn't wanna mix them
because most of the girls have been sexually
violated before so their environment should be safe
and comfortable. He takes in kids from the age of 2
years old - 18 years old but when you 21. You
should be out. Most of the kids who grew up in the
orphanages are well off today some have been
adopted by international rich people some are
working or married with well off husbands. Some
are overseas said to be working and studying.
There's no kid from there that's currently struggling.
I help out a few times I love those little souls..
Dad: I'm going to take in infants too

Me: You are?

Dad: Yes.. I was speaking to some Nurse and she

told me that most infants need homes

Me: You doing a great thing Dad you give these kids
hope and faith

Dad: All kids deserve to grow up in a healthy and

safe environment
Me: That's why you are so rich blessings on
blessings

Dad: You can say that again this week they are
bringing in 20 orphans. 15 girls and 5 boys Me: Do
we have space?

Dad: We always have space because some are

leaving next month to join their new families they
have been adopted

I nodded..

Me: That's good

Dad: They are going to Singapore

Me: Do you do a background check on the people
who adopt these kids?

Dad: Yes I do Zitha some are celebrities. I would

never give the kids to vultures

Me: I'm just making sure

Rosina walked in in her white lace gown and feather

white heels.. I sighed..

Roro: Good morning family

Dad: Good morning my love

Rosi: Zee
Me: What's up?

They shared a kiss..

Dad: I was just leaving to play golf

Rosi: Don't forget the dinner invitation tonight

Dad: Tonight?

Me: I have an Art exhibition tonight

Rosi: Zee you do a lot of those almost every month

and we always there

 in her white lace gown and feather white heels.. I
sighed..
Roro: Good morning family

Dad: Good morning my love

Rosi: Zee

Me: What's up?

They shared a kiss..

Rosi: Don't forget the dinner invitation tonight

Dad: Tonight?

Rosi: Zee you do a lot of those almost every month

Me: Dad you know how important this is to me

Rosi: You 29 you don't need Daddy holding your

hand through these exhibitions

Me: I'm sorry was I talking to you?

Dad: Okay!

He put his hands on Rosi's shoulders..

Dad: You know it's tradition to attend Zee's
exhibitions every month so we going there. Your
friends can re-invite us for next week
I smiled..

Rosi: Her husband is leaving next week

Dad: Before he leaves

Rosi sighed Dad kissed her on her cheek..

Dad: I'll see you girls later don't kill each other

He made his way to the door..

Me: Don't you have a dress to pick out for tonight?

The exhibition starts at 18:00. Don't be late!
She rolled her eyes and walked out of the room. I
laughed...

PEGGY KUNENE

Me: "Sand prints from that place and she didn't

wanna go..."

I took the pen and fixed something..

I went ahead and played the guitar again..

Me: "Sand prints from that place

She didn't wanna go...

Trying to find a better place

Taking heart into a song..

Peggy's gone to Memphis

Trying to find another home..

Peggy needs some paper

But Peggy's outta luck.."

I stopped playing and glanced down at my guitar

when I heard someone clapping. It was my fiancé
Lungelo. He was standing at the doorway.. I smiled
at him..

Me: Did I wake you up?

Lu: No I was already up

He put his hands in his pockets. He was wearing his

blue denim jeans no t-shirt and he was barefooted..

Lu: That's a nice piece

Me: I'll be playing it tonight

Lu: It's really lovely

My Name is Peggy Kunene but most of the time

they call me Peggy-K. Especially where I play at
Nellie's Bar. I am 25 years old working as a cook at
some restaurant and also I perform part time at
Nellie's Bar.

I love music music is to me what milk is to coffee.. I

have an older Brother his name is Mendoza Kunene.
He is currently in the United States he's an FBI. He's
been there since his early childhood years left with
his Father after the divorce. We have different
Father's but was conceived by the same womb. He
comes to visit and I've been that side too many
times that's where my love for music came by. By
attending rock and country music concerts.. The
plan was for me to move there but I couldn't leave
my Mother behind not after her two failed
marriages. From Mendoza's father and my father.
Both marriages messed up her mental state she
suffered clinical depression and is still on
medication. She has a live in Nurse that my Brother
pays every month we opted for a live in Nurse after
her last suicide attempt.. She's doing better now
therapy medication and Yoga are really helping her.

Lungelo made his way to me he took my guitar and

placed it on the small table. He picked up my legs
and laid them on the couch then got in between
them.. We've been together for 5 years and
engaged for a year now he's an accountant and
pretty well off for a 30 year old..

Me: Stop it I'm not even done composing

Lu: Well it's my time now

He kissed me on my neck gently biting me in
between. I am not a big fan of contraception pills
nor the injection I chose a loop. We have a mutual
understanding on having kids later on right now we
are still career driven and trying to build a stable life
before having kids..

He snuck his hand under my pj top to massage my

breasts. His lips came up to kiss mine.. He moved to
kissing my cheek then whispered in my ear..

Lu: I love you so much

Me: I love you too

ZITHA MAGASELA

I had taken a shower and I was ready to go out to

the Art Studio to start setting up for tonight.. I
grabbed a croissant on my way out passing Rosi
lounging on the couch with a face mask and
cucumber slices on her eyes..

Me: I'm gone

Rosi: Ohh I thought you were already gone
I rolled my eyes and walked out..

PEGGY KUNENE

I was leaning against the couch now he was

kneeling before the couch. My feet were stationary
on the couch and wide open. He was massaging my
clit and his tounge was at the entrance of my
coochie. The tip of his tongue pushing in and out of
my coochie then running it around there. It was the
most pleasuring moment I enjoy the 4play more.
Not that the sex is off but the 4play is always
amazing. I put my hand at the back of his head and
pinned him against my coochie..

Me: Yes.. Yes.. Yes right there!

It's like my whole body was being electricutated

with pleasure I tried to hold still as I thought moving
would run the pleasure out from my body.. I moved
my hand and ran my hands from my tummy all the
way up to my breasts. Massaging them and
squeezing them as his tongue worked magic. I was
even scared that I would come before we actually
do it. He stopped and came back up to kiss me..

Lu: Was that nice?

Me: Ahaaaaa
He kissed me.. He gently slid himself in and I bit my
lower lip with my arms around his neck. A breath
escaped his lips as he slid in more deeper and
deeper stretching me to his satisfaction. He put
both his hands under my legs and pulled me further
to the edge standing up straight. Then he wrapped
my legs around him and started pumping me.

KIRS BOSCH (GUSTAVO)

Tshilo looked stressed she's always stressed when

we have to travel without our Daughter Azelea. It's
better that tomorrow we will be flying back to
home flying back to Cape Town...

We were having breakfast not far from the golf

course where I'm meant to meet up with one of my
guys that's why we flew down here. For business
purposes. I run a critical but very profitable
operation. Human trafficking and Sex trade. We are
known as the "Gilligan Brothers" abbreviated to
G.B.
It's a big and broad operation that extends overseas
too. In South Africa we only operate in Gauteng
Cape Town and Durban. I run Cape Town The other
two places have their own leaders. Our biggest
Clientel is overseas we mostly traffick the kids
there. They spend a lot of money for them
especially Singapore. They the ones who bought
most kids this month...

To be truthful it's easier to run such an operation in

South Africa because of the broken justice system.
How many human trafficking cases get resolved?
How many girls and women get recovered? The
system turns a blind eye on that which makes us
more stronger. Not forgetting how easy it is to get
your way by popping up a few notes. In our line of
work we need as much alliances as we can. We
have a group of social workers working for us
Doctors Lawyers Judges and the Police. We even
forming alliances with political parties. So it's not
easy to nail us when we almost run the country.
Gauteng is worse we have formed alliances with
Nigerians especially the ones in Pretoria...

Turned Sunnyside completely into a sex trade and

drug cartel operation. The police know exactly what
goes down there but we have them in the palm of
our hands and hillbrow in Johannesburg we taking it
too. Starting it afresh to operate exactly as how
Sunnyside is operating. It's very easy to get these
girls and women MG has two orphanages. He's
supplying us with fresh meat little virgin girls and
boys for our very particular high paying clients.
Durban also has 2 orphanages only my place I'm not
running any orphanage. My place is the sex trade
and prostitution land where you get hook ups and
what not. It's the land of the Devil what goes down
there is what people would classify as sickening..
The only way we can be touchable is if foreign
international authorities interfere they the only
ones who can bring us down. Since we have
correspondences that side and loyal alliances we
still safe. We are invincible..

Also the high unemployment rate that goes down in

South Africa is working to our advantage we just put
up believable job vacancies lure the women then
just like that. We get our victims.. We have been in
operation for years I got into this shit at the age 19.
Worked my way up I'm 32 years old this year and
the head leader of the operation here in South
Africa..

Now back to my personal life I am married to a

beautiful dark chocolate muffin Vhutshilo Bosch. I
got her through the orphanage when she was just 8
years old. She lost all her family members in a fire
that broke out in her home when she was 8 one of
our social workers sent her here in Gauteng to the
MG orphanage and that's how I got her. Moved her
away to come live with me in Cape Town. Quite
frankly she was meant to be trafficked to Mexico
but when I got a hold of her file. I knew that I had to
have her..
She's 22 years old now and we have a 5 year old
daughter. Yes she gave birth at 17..

I had to make her live in extreme conditions cripple

her with fear and stocklohom syndrome to keep her
with me. From when I got her till the age of 15. I
used to chain her

Sponsored

till the age of 15. I used to chain her rape her beat
her. Make her live like an animal and make her to
fear me more than God. I made myself to be the 1st
and only man she fears in her life and a lot of
brainwashing went into the mix too..

Now we happily married I have fallen deeply in love

with her and she's the right woman for me. She
knows exactly what I do and would never tell a soul
she hasn't betrayed me. She knows what would
happen to her if she could betray Kirs Bosch The
Gustavo....

ZITHA MAGASELA
We were busy running up and down like headless
chickens everything had to be perfect for tonight.
My Father's presence tends to bring about the
AListers and they don't mind buying a painting or
two..

Sihle: Zee
Me: Yes?

Sihle: Where should I put these?

Me: Uhm.. Right by the door they will bring more

colour. Put a stand there

Sihle: Yes Mam

Sihle is my assistant and she's a nervous wreck all
the time. She is a replacement of my old assistant
who resigned a few months ago and I'm hoping the
girl will pick up soon.

I heard something breaking..

Sihle: It's me.. I'm so sorry

I closed my eyes and bit my lower lip in Fustration..

Me: Calm down Zee these things happen

The Vase she broke is an antique. I bought it for the
most expensive price..

Me: These things happen.. Calm down girl

Sihle: I'm so sorry Mam I'll.. I'll replace it

It will actually take months of her salary to replace

it..
Me: It's okay.. These things happen.. I'll dash out to
go and get a new one

She nodded repeatedly..

Me: Why don't you go ahead and clean up your

mess

I faked a smile..
Sihle: Yes Mam

She walked away and my smile disappeared.

I saw Iker making his way in my mood changed.

After what happened to us last night I wasn't in the
mood to look at him right now... I stood there and
folded my arms...

Sihle: Sir Good morning

Iker: Good morning

He walked up to me taking his glasses halfway

through. He had unbraided his hair. He has long
beautiful hair.. He looked down and looked at his
glasses I still had my arms folded with a serious
facial expression..
He looked at me.. His annoying self started singing
and dancing..

Iker: "

mas um vez

um xinti mbokadu solto

i na procura the right guy

pa ser di meu

amigas flam ma sta doida

pamodi facilmente

um ta kai n'amor

bo tem ki fazel

His sexy dancing was what got to me dancing with

his arms and shaking his waist a little..

Iker: "talvez um t'atchal oji

um tem ki atch'um alguem

baby bem liiiiiiii

passa na nha caminho

um tem ki atch'um algem

pan tchoma nha fofo

yeah baby bem li

mas pertu di mioh yeahé hey"

I tried so hard not to smile but I couldn't help myself

I smiled and shook my head as he made his way to
me..
Iker: "talvez nu ta incontra na um bar
elbonito sima um desejo

talvez nu ta incontra na um boiti

eldodu na mi

ta flam mi ké the one

talvez um t'atchal oji"

He got to me and forced my hand then captured me

into dancing and singing with him..
Me: "babybabybo pode tchoma

choufofoamor

et tout ce ke tu voudras

pamodi bo ké the one"

We continued dancing and my smile was wide now

he pulled me to him and wrapped his arm around
my waist.. He looked at me and I parted the hair
from his face..
Iker: I'm sorry about last night I was a dick
I nodded...

Iker: I wanna come and support you tonight but I

don't want any conflict between us

Me: You remembered?

Iker: How can I forget such an important night for

you?

Me: Well you are a dick but a good one

He raised his eyebrow..

Iker: Are you..??

I gave him a side smile then got closer and ran the
tip of my tongue around his lips..

Me: Maybe

Iker: Then by all means

He held my hand and led me to my office..

Iker: "talvez um t'atchal oji

um tem ki atch'um alguem"

Me: "baby bem liiiiiiii
passa na nha caminho"

Lu: Sweet lips

Me: Yes

Lu: Your phone

I turned off the stove and made my way to the
lounge. It was in his hand..

Lu: Big Bro

Me: Give

He stretched his hand when I tried to get it. He held

my arm with his other hand. He pulled me to him on
the couch I actually fell on him..

Me: Stop

He gave me my phone.. I answered..

Me: The Mendoza

Mendoza: Baby Sis
Lu kissed me on my cheek and then moved and
licked my ear I giggled..

Mendoza: What's funny?

ZITHA MAGASELA

Sex with Iker is always enjoyable I don't mean to

sound off but Men from our neighboring countries
are very gifted down there. It's not debatable nor
up for discussion. After doing the deed you can feel
that yes you were having sex not forgetting how
they get you clinging on to them for that.. When
you get one your sex life will never be the same
again..

My office was locked for this current purpose but

we had to get done quicker than we normally do it
for since time was not on my side. I'd find this place
turned upside down Sihle is not one to be left
alone..

My hands were balancing on the table he was

behind me. I had one leg slightly raised up to the
chair. He was literally kneeling down behind me and
muffing me with his strong hands squeezing my butt
and I was enjoying this moment.

Enjoying it in such a way that I swaying my ass left

and right couldn't keep still. My legs were vibrating I
was very turned on and tuned to the moment.
Moaning and biting my lower lip with my eyes
rolling at the back of my head. The moist and the
slippery of his tongue busy exciting my coochie and
my clit was the best feeling...In normal
circumstances I wouldn't want this moment to end
but we were under pressure. Greatly under
pressure. He parted my buttocks as he continued
busy making sleek sounds as if like he was eating
out a mango or indulging on ice cream which turned
me on even more.

Me: Ahhhhhhhhh (moaning softly)

He continued playing with his tongue around in my

kitty my legs vibrated even more. I couldn't help but
keep on hitting the table trying not to moan loud
but I was being overpowered and possessed by the
pleasure failing to attain a stable balance...
I moved my hand down to where the action was
taking place I massaged his beard as he continued.
He stopped and then positioned himself. He
spanked my ass a few times just for the feel of it
bouncing he did it again and I noticed him stroking
his hard thick black cock each time my ass shook to
his satisfaction..

Iker: Shake your ass for me

With one foot on the chair the other one on the

floor. My hands on the table twerking in this
position was easy. I don't have a big ass I do squarts
a lot which made it to pop out and be lifted up a bit.
So basically I have a small acceptable ass.. I kept on
twerking for him and he increased his pace of
stroking himself his moans and groans deepened.
He wanted himself deep inside of me tear up my
kitty to the point of feeling the effects when I go to
the bathroom to pee..

He got closer and and put his hand on my ass

stopping me. He moved his hand to my waist so I
could go lower a bit and I did so. Then without
warning he slowly shoved it in. A breath escaped my
lips. He ran his hands on my back then back on my
waist for balance as he started pumping me.. Taking
him in fully in this position was nice yes but also a
bit uncomfortable because he was far in too deep..
KIRS BOSCH (GUSTAVO)

MG walked in and made his way to our table.

MG: Good morning

We greeted him back..

MG: Thought you were going to join me at the golf

course?

Me: Yeah I didn't feel like it

He leaned over and kissed Tshilo on the cheek..

MG: Looking beautiful as always

Tshilo: Thank you (Smiling)

MG: And you more beautiful each time when I see

you

Tshilo: I'm flattered

Tshilo took the napkin from the table and wiped her
lips then she got up..

Tshilo: I'll give you some space.. I'll be at the shop

opposite checking out a few clothes
She made her way to me in her beautiful tailor
made yellow jumpsuit that fit her slim body
perfectly. She had on green heels and sunshine
yellow earrings. Her afro combined perfectly with a
yellow&green beaded necklace around her neck
that I have strangled a few times before. She kissed
me.

I held her arm tight and looked at her deep in her

eyes....

Me: ek is so baie lief vir jou (I love you so much)

That was a warning shot..

Tshilo: Ek is lief vir jou ook (I love you too)

I let go off her arm and she took her bag then
walked out. Our table was next to the big window I
watched her as she walked down to the clothing
store. She stopped halfway and lifted her leg to fix
her heel..

MG: She's been with you for almost all her life do
you think she would run away?
I looked at him and then took the 3 files in my case
and tossed them at him..

Me: Al 3 meisies het selfmoord gepleeg laat weet

asseblief hulle gesinne (All 3 girls committed suicide
please alert their families)

MG: Hoekom? (Why)

Me: Oh I'm sorry.. I didn't care to ask for details
because it matters to me not

He shook his head I turned my head and checked

the clothing store. Tshilo was walking in..

MG: Their families know that they are overseas

studying
Me: And the pressure got to them draw up 3 letters
from the "University" stating that they committed
suicide

MG: Can their families at least bury them?

Me: I am not running a family charity burial

organization

MG: And I'm trying not to get caught!

Me: I'll see what I can do

I noticed Tshilo walking out of the store she didn't

walk back to the restaurant but took another
direction. I got up. MG got up too and held my arm..

MG: If she notices that your fear about her escaping

she will use that to her advantage
I looked at him..

MG: Trust me

I sat back down and looked at her she walked in to

the next shop..

MG: She's been with you since she was 8 you two
have a Daughter. She knows what you capable of do
you really think she would escape? Where is she
going to go? She has nothing. No home no family. If
she wanted to escape she would've long tried that.
She won't do it now

I still couldn't believe that my Brother was flying

down here next week. I love my Brother very much
but sometimes his visits aren't pleasant. Plus he
doesn't like my fiancé that much..
Lungelo had stepped out and I had finished
composing my song to my satisfaction for tonight.
So I called my Mother..

Ma: Peg

Me: Mama

Ma: How are you?

Me: I'm good and how are you?

Ma: I'm good too

Me: Where is Tannie Elsie?

Ma: She is doing laundry I just finished with my
Yoga session

Me: That's good.. How is Yoga coming along?

Ma: It's always peaceful and relaxing

Me: I'll try it next time

Ma: That's what you always say

I chuckled..

Me: So Mendoza is coming next week

Ma: He did call and tell me

Me: He did?
Ma: Yes

Me: How do you feel about that?

Ma: He is my Son I am always happy to see him

Me: Yes of course

Ma: Is there a problem?

Me: No.. I'm also happy can't wait

Ma: You and Lu will have to come over then for

dinner

Me: We will

Ma: That's good

Me: It's good knowing that you okay
Ma: Yes I am

Me: I'll call you later

Ma: Okay baby

Me: I love you

Ma: I love you too

ZITHA MAGASELA This was meant to be a quick

thing but it dragged on. Not that I minded I was
enjoying every moment of it..
This time around he was against the table I was
standing in front of him. My leg raised up to his
waist and his hand under it for balance. My arms
around his neck and his mouth on my breast
sucking on my tit. His stiff black cock still very much
deep inside of me and his other hand grabbing on
my ass for an easier way to keep on pumping..

Me: Ohhhhhh my word! It feels very good please

don't stop!
He kept on and my banging against him was in turn
massaging my clit making me more and more
horny..

KIRS BOSCH (GUSTAVO)

Both of us walked out of the restaurant I walked

him to his car..
MG: I'll see to it that the families are notified

Me: I'll hear from you

He got into his car and drove off..

I walked down the street to the clothing store

I made my way in and Tshilo was busy chatting with

the shop assistant holding some denim shorts. She
has the most prettiest smile and perfect teeth..
Despite all the abuse that I've put her through that
could have broken her. It never changed who she is
she's still the most loving humble warm and kind
Person that you could ever meet..

I made my way to them with my case under my

arm..

Me: Ladies

I snuck my arm around her small waist..

They looked at me the shop assistant looked at me

for a long time. Probably fascinated or scared of my
tattoos..
Tshilo placed her hand on my chest that has always
been her way of calming me down.

Tshilo: I'm sorry did I take long?

Me: No it's okay.. We just finished early

Tshilo: Okay she was just showing me some clothes

that I really like

Me: That's good you can get as many as you want

She turned to the assistant..

Tshilo: This is my husband Kirs

Assistant: Nice to meet you

Me: Likewise.. Well then I'll leave you to it

I took out my wallet and gave her my card.

Me: I will be in the car

Tshilo: Okay

I kissed her on her cheek..

When I walked away I heard them talking..

Assistant: He's so lovely

Tshilo: Best husband I tell you

ZITHA MAGASELA

My leg was tired now and I had reached an orgasm

already. Keeping on we will have to keep on until I
reach another orgasm. Can't stop halfway or I'll go
through the next few minutes horny and wanting
more..

He tightened his grip on my ass as he shot through

his load deep in me. He buried his face on my chest
groaning a bit louder.
His body was trembling and he squeezed my ass for
dear life.. When we were done he picked me up still
very much inside of me and placed me on the table.
Then he kissed me and placed both my legs on the
table.

He slid out and parted the lips of my coochie until

his cum came out..

Iker: Look at that

With his now soft dick he held it and pinned the

head of his penis at the entrance of my coochie.
Pushing back in his cum. Thank Goodness I'm on a
pill. He pushed it back in and then slid back in.. I
hope he is not looking for another round I need to
get done.

The rest of the day went on smoothly Lu attends my

performances on Sundays. Before heading to
Nellie's bar we went to get something to eat at this
other joint opposite the Bar. Tonight they were
running a special on hamburgers. Cheese&Macon.
Get two for R120 usually one is R89. Then I got a
lemonade and he settled for a castle lite beer

Me: They have the best burgers their

Macon&Cheese
Lu: They surely do

Lu and I we not the perfect couple but the love

between us is strong. With how social media
portrays Men on a daily he is nothing like that. I
never knew a man can love deeply until I dated
him..

Lu: Why don't you open a YouTube channel upload

clips of your music?

Me: I have thought about that but I don't have a big

crowd

Lu: Give it a try you'll never know. I mean you are a

great artist. Your voice is unique just give it a try.
You have nothing to lose
I smiled at him..

Me: I'll consider it

He smiled back at me...

ZITHA MAGASELA

Guests were arriving the actual event will start in

15min time. I was nervous I'm always nervous about
my exhibitions. There's no reason too but hey.. I
can't help it

I usually get around 15 people I'm hoping the

number hasn't decreased. I have 5 waiters who will
be going around serving champagne and food tables
were set for the guests in the middle of the room.
My portraits all 10 of them were ready to be
displayed for the exhibition. The cheapest costs
around R7000 the most expensive is R12 000..

The theme was strictly black&white I was wearing a

white dress that was above my knee level black
heels and a black belt.

Sihle will be at the door welcoming in guests and

noting down their names. She was also wearing a
white dress. That's the easiest job I hope she won't
screw up..

I saw earlier that MG will be attending his

Daughter's exhibition on his social media. I like to
make my presence known in such cases give my
partners the fear that I am always watching.

This line of work that I do loyalty goes a long way.

Even the slightest crack can break the chain..

Tshilo was fixing my tie I looked at her and she

smiled at me..

Tshilo: An Art exhibition?

I don't usually smile I have an intimidating persona

and I like to keep it that way. But when it comes to
my wife and my daughter I do give them a little
smile here and there.

Me: Thought a change of scenery from what we

usually do could be fascinating
Tshilo: I'm not complaining

I held her small hand and pressed it gently on my

chest..

Me: Jy lyk pragtig (You look beautiful)

Tshilo: Thank you finding a good dress for the

function in such notice was difficult

Me: You always make it work

I let go of her hand and put mine on her chin then

pulled her closer for a kiss.. She put her other hand
on my chest..

Tshilo: Let me call Azelea before we leave

Me: Okay

She walked away to get her phone...

I was sitting on the high chair with my guitar and a

mic in front of me. Lu was sitting at the bar. I mostly
play without a band just me and my guitar.. I will do
a song from an artist in my own version and then
after I'll do my own..

Me: Good evening my name is Peggy. I'm sure most

of you know me the introduction was for those who
don't know me

The room laughed..

Me: I'll start off with a song from Jenny Lewis_Bad

Man's world then next I'll do my own song. "Peggy's
gone to Memphis"
I cleared my throat as the room went quiet.

Nel: Take it up a note baby!

Me: Thank you for the vote of confidence Nel

I started playing my guitar..

Me: "Its a bad man's world

It's a bad man's world

It's a bad man's world.

Was I born as a promise to keep the peace

Or meet the shame

Before you split one thing left

To give me my ordinary name

Give me my ordinary name

Now that Im still standing

Ive got something left to prove

Got a bullet left but I cant decide

Which scorpion Im going to shoot

She looked at the list..

Sihle: 23

Sihle: Very

Me: Gonna need a glass of champagne to calm my

nerves down
Sihle: You will do amazing

I looked at the time..

Me: It's almost time let me shut the door

Sihle: Yes Mam'

I walked over to lock the door and before I could

touch it. It opened.. This gentleman walked in with
a beautiful dark skinned lady. She had her hand
under his arm..

I have never seen him around was my first time

seeing him. He was dressed up looking handsome.
His collar shirt couldn't hide the tattoo extending to
his neck blonde hair neatly combed to the back.
More like the modern version of James Bond..
Me: Good evening

Him: Good evening.. I hope we not too late

Me: Not at all

I looked at him he extended his hand to me.

Him: Kirs Bosch

I extended mine to him..

Me: Zitha Magasela

back of my hand..

Kirs: This is my beautiful wife Mrs Vhutshilo Bosch

I turned to her..

MG grabbed my arm and pulled me away from my

wife and the People we were interacting with as we
waited for the exhibition to start I even spilled the
champagne from my glass a little..

MG: What the hell are you doing here?

I looked at him..

Me: Don't you ever drag me off like that ever again!
Not in front of my wife not in front of anyone!

MG: What are you doing here?

Me: I am attending an Art exhibition

MG: Don't give me that! Everything that you do is

calculated what are you doing?

Me: Your insecurities and trust issues are appalling

don't do that or else it will work to my advantage
Zitha: Everyone may I please have your attention
Me: Excuse me I don't like to leave my wife
unattended

I walked away from him

PEGGY KUNENE

I was done with the performances Lu and I left the

bar. We walked home it was 5min away. I had my
hand under his arm and he was holding my guitar..

Lu: "Peggy's gone to Memphis... Nananana but

Peggy's outta luck"

I laughed..

Lu: You killed it baby!

Me: Thank you

Lu: I'm so proud of you! The crowd loves you

Me: Thank you for your support

As we were walking some guy was walking in our

opposite direction. Approaching us he was
approaching us from my side..

Me: It's cold

Lu: Here
We stopped and he took off his jacket then he
placed it around my shoulders..

Me: Thank you

I kissed him just as the guy was passing next to me.

He touched my butt..

Guy: Excuse me

I quickly turned to my side and looked at him..

Me: Watch it pervert!

He stopped..

Guy: What?
Me: You touched my butt

Guy: No I did not

Me: Yes you did!

Lu: Wtf?

Lu put my guitar on the ground..

Lu: What did you do?

Guy: Hey Man it was just a reflex

Lu approached him..

Lu: Can't you put your reflex in your pocket?

Guy: It was not intentional! No big deal

Lu started pushing him by putting his hands on the

guy's chest..

Lu: If it's something you used too then you will stop
it tonight!

Guy: I said it was a reflex!

That's when Lu threw a punch across the guy's face..

The guy didn't back up he returned a punch and

they started fighting. I hate fights they scare me..

Me: Lu leave him let's go!

They continued fighting and Lu was defeating him..

Me: Lu!!

Lu let him go..

Lu: Should be ashamed of yourself! Real men don't

act like that

The guy spat out blood Lu came back to me and

picked up my guitar. He held my hand and we
started walking away..

Lu: That was messed up are you okay?

Me: I'm fine

As we were walking I saw a force pushing on Lu
from the back. Then he moaned loudly.

I stopped and turned back this guy has stabbed Lu

at the back..

Lu turned and looked at him the guy started

stepping back. Then he eventually made a run for
it..

Me: Lu!

Lu sank to the ground with the knife deeply lodged

to his back from his waist area..

Me: Ohh my God!

I unzipped my bag and took out my phone then

knelt down next to me..
Me: Hold on! I'm calling for help

ZITHA MAGASELA

I looked at everyone..

Me: I have 10 portraits to display for the exhibition

tonight hoping all of them will be sold out..

Sihle brought the first potrait..

Me: This is actually a photograph of a woman who is

a street vendor. It was taken in Soweto as you can
see she's sitting next to her stall and breastfeeding
her baby. To many this looks typical but the
photograph has a story to tell. A story of a woman
who endures and became the odd one out. Hustling
everyday to put food on the table for her Son trying
her very hardest to build a secure home for her Son.
I spoke to her before taking the picture raining cold

cold or sunny she's here everyday rendering service

at an affordable price The room went quiet..

Me: Her name is Duduzile Ngema she's 32 years old.

Her portrait goes for R8 000 and R 5 000 of the
money will go to her.

I looked at the room..

Me: Who wants to help this woman make a profit
higher than what she usually makes

I looked at them as they were deep in their

thoughts then saw Vhutshilo whispering something
to her Husband.

Client: I'll take it!

Kirs: I'll take it for double the original price

Me: Well looks like we have been made an offer

that we cannot refuse.. Portrait sold to Mr Kirs
Bosch!

The room started clapping his wife smiled. She still

had her hand under his arm he pat her hand a little
and kissed her on her cheek.
Their love spoke throughout the whole room he
seems very loving and not afraid to show his
affection for his wife. How many Men can do that?

THE MENDOZA

He was standing at the balcony of a 7 storey

building. I had my gun pointed at him slowly
approaching him..

Me: Davis where are the girls? Where did you hide
the girls?

He had both his hands up..

Yvonne: Tell us where the girls are!

He didn't say anything..

Yvonne: You don't have to do this Davis! They are
just little innocent girls!

Me: I'm putting my gun away I just wanna talk

I placed my gun slowly on the floor and raised both

my hands up..

Me: I know what you went through I know what

happened to your little sister. I have a sister too and
if something like that could happen to her I'd be
shattered but I wouldn't hurt little girls who had
nothing to do with my Sister being slaughtered!

I slowly made my way to him..

Me: Your sister's name was Maggie right?

He nodded..

Me: My Sister's name is Peggy it rhymes doesn't it?

Davis: Agent.. Can I ask you something?

Me: Yes you can ask me anything

Davis: Is your Sister still alive?

Me: Yes

Davis: Then consider yourself fortunate

Me: Davis

He turned and leaped off the balcony..

Me: No!!!

I ran to the balcony and stared down as his body

that fell on the ground..

Me: No!!! Now we will never find the girls!

This is The hardest part about my job not getting

the monster and saving the victims.

PEGGY KUNENE

The Ambulance arrived and they took Lu in I sat

next to him.. Holding his hand with tears streaming
down..

Me: Please hold on Baby it is going to be okay

The Ambulance was driving at an alarming speed
the knife was still lodged on his back and he was
laying on his side with an oxygen mask around his
mouth. He seemed to be losing the battle of staying
conscious his grip on my hand was getting weaker
and weaker..

Me: Ohh God please..

ZITHA MAGASELA

Sihle brought the last portrait..

Me: Last but not least we have a photograph of

miners sitting and eating their lunch after a hard
morning labour. Now I don't need to tell you what
miners go through they live their homes very early
in the morning to work for their families not
knowing if they will come back home alive or dead.
With mines collapsing many have lost their lives and
many their bodies weren't recovered. This
photograph was taken at North West and this
masterpiece goes for R12 000 because it's
embedded in pain and lost lives

Dad: I'll take it! For double the price

I smiled we sold out all our portraits tonight.

THE MENDOZA

We were back at the FBI building I was leading the

walk to our division. I am an FBI Agent under the
Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU).

We mostly deal with the sick minded serial killers.

We study their behaviour a great deal get in their
minds to find out what leads them to do what they
do.. Put them away and get justice for the victims
and their families. The goal is to get to them and
save as many victims as possible..

I took off my bullet proof vest..

Yvonne: Agent it's going to be fine

I turned and looked at her..

Me: You go tell their families that it's going to be

fine! You go tell those little scared girls that it's
going to be fine!!

Yvonne: We will get the girls!

Me: How? Our only lead suspect is dead he leaped

off the balcony of a 7 storey building!
Yvonne: We know he wasn't working alone!

I remained quiet..

Beckworth: Is this Personal to you?

Me: They just little girls Cap what monster would

VHUTSHILO BOSCH

Kirs sat on the bed and loosened his tie. He also

took off his shoes.. I took off my heels and walked
up to him I lifted up my dress up and sat on him. He
put his hands around my waist..

Me: Thank you for the portrait

Kirs: Anything for you

I smiled..
Kirs: You happy right?

I nodded..

Me: Baie (Very)

He kissed me and his grip around my waist

tightened a bit. I've been with this man for many
years and all the time I've been with him we've had
a lot of sex. Sometimes for the whole day but even
today after all these years he still can't get enough
of me.

His sexual hunger for me is always at it's highest

peak he's never refused sex with me
He moved down and kissed my neck a few times
before running his tongue down from my neck to
my chest. I took off my dress and threw it on the
floor..

My sexual preference is not that of a typical

woman. Kirs has made me to get used to BDMS
because that's the kind of sex we've always had
from when I started living with him. My first sexual
encounter with him was the worst I was in pain and
bled out. After a long time of that happening I
ended up getting used to it because that's the only
sex I knew and he's been the only man I've ever had
sexual encounters with...
Most people would find it sick but truth be told. I'm
22 years old now and that has been happening
since from when I was 8 years old. I was
conditioned to it and I enjoy it..

By now my bra was on the floor he had ripped it off

me like a lion waiting to devour me.. He moved his
lips down to my tit and started sucking on it hard
that I thought it would fall off. The stinging from my
nipple immediately tickled my clit I was getting lost
in the moment with pleasure and my clit was
starting to throb really bad that I moaned..

Me: Ohhhhhh Kirs

I ran my hand on his soft hair I felt his crotch
hardening underneath my throbbing clit. I slowly
started moving on him to rub myself against him..
His other hand still had a tight grip around my waist
then he stopped sucking my tit and started
undressing. He moved me from him and got up to
take off all his clothes. I knelt down on the bed and
got closer to him running my hand on his body as he
continued. His whole upper body is tattooed
another huge turn on. He took off all his clothes
until he was left with only his black briefs. His cock
was rock hard and almost filling up the front part of
his briefs.

He has a really thick cock it's not so long but it's very
thick especially when he has an erection.. I lowered
his briefs to give it a breather it has been screaming
silently to come out. I grabbed it by my hand and
gave him a handjob first he grabbed on my afro and
groaned biting his lower lip..

Kirs: Open up

I opened my mouth and removed my hand so he

can take the lead. I stuck my tongue out and he
tapped it against my tongue first with his other
hand under my chin. He then shoved it in fully deep
inside my mouth pressing in and out like he was
tearing up my pussy. My hands were on his thighs
he pushed further in and I gagged. He continued...
Kirs: Look at me keep your eyes on me

I looked at him and he continued fucking me in my

mouth until tears formed in my eyes. Our eyes were
locked keep your eyes on me

I looked at him and he continued fucking me in my

mouth until tears formed in my eyes. Our eyes were
locked and just when the tears formed he went in
harder. I ended up pushing him away because I
needed to catch a breath.. Hates it when
instructions are not followed so he slapped me
across the face.

Kirs: You don't do that unless I give you a breather!

He picked his tie and tied both my hands to my back
so tight that it caused pain. He grabbed on my afro
again and I opened my mouth. The impact of the
slap left a stung my face was burning. He fucked me
through my mouth and tears couldn't stop
streaming down which turned him on even more. I
was running out of breath He was filling me up
inside that I started to make sounds hoping the plea
of my tears will make him have mercy. And he did
he slid it out so that I could breath. I was still
kneeling on the bed hands tied to my back. He knelt
down in front of me and wiped my tears with his
thumb.. Then moved his thumb to my lips.

Kirs: You are so beautiful you don't know what you

doing to me. I am obsessed with you I love you and I
can't get enough of you. He pressed down on my
lower lip to reveal my teeth..

Kirs: I love you so much

He leaned forward and kissed me. As we swiftly
moved on to dirty kissing he cupped my small
breasts with his strong hands. He squeezed them
for dear life and once more my clit throbbed. He
stopped cupping them and pulled my nipples a
breath escaped my lips..

Me: I want you Kirs

Kirs: I want you too

We continued kissing and with him pulling my

nipples making me to beg for more..

He moved his hands down to my waist one went

further down and snuck it's way into my panties. He
rubbed his hand against my coochie the feeling was
very nice. More like he was soothing me from a
painful itch..
He got it out and pulled my panties down then his
hand went back to my coochie and he forced his
middle finger inside my hole..

Me: Ohhhhhh Kirs....

Kirs: You soaking wet Baby

He went in and out forcefully so the wetness that

my coochie gave him made a sound. His index finger
joined in his middle finger.

Me: Please.. Please don't stop

Kirs: You want me that bad?

Me: I want you that bad Daddy!!

He smashed his lips against mine and moved his

other hand to the back of my head and continued
finger fucking me hard with my face very much
pinned against his..

After dropping off Sihle at her place I drove home
she's renting not far from the studio. Home is far for
her to travel every day.. Her salary is not stable but
she doesn't earn less than R5 500 a month. She's
the bread winner at home and I would hate to
exploit a girl who is trying to provide for her family.
This month I'm planning on giving her 10k yes she's
a clumsy person but she tries and she's very
committed. She's never late for work and you will
never find her standing around and doing nothing
even when it's quiet. She doesn't miss work for any
reason she's showing true commitment...

I got home and my Father was standing at the

kitchen counter drinking whiskey and glancing down
at some files..

Me: Dad
He closed the files..

Me: What are you doing?

Dad: Just catching up on work

I put my bag on the counter..

I read the name on the file..

Me: Kea Motha.. I remember her isn't she in

Singapore? Studying?

Dad: Yes.. I..

He cleared his throat..

Dad: I got a call today she committed suicide

Me: What?

Dad: All 3

Me: How come?

Dad: 3 South African girls studying overseas away

from home. Away from everyone it can get
depressing. On the other hand school was also not
easy

Me: That's sad!

Dad: Yaa it's sad now I have to alert their families
Me: This is really sad I thought they were going to
better their lives and families

Dad: Such things happen

He downed his whiskey and then took the files..

Me: Dad

He looked at me..

Me: That guy.. That white guy with a black beautiful

wife.. Friend of yours?

Dad: Uhm no.. Why do you ask?

Me: He doesn't know me why else would he pull
through? Thought he was a friend of yours

Dad: No.. I don't know him

Me: Okay good night

Dad: Night Princess

PEGGY KUNENE
I got up when the Dr made her way to me.

Me: How is he?

Dr: He's going to live

I sighed in relief..

Dr: He lost a lot of blood though but at least he got

here quicker before h-

Me: Can I see him?

Dr: Not at the moment maybe tomorrow. The knife

missed his spine just by a few inches the blade was
not that long thankfully. He's very lucky
Me: Thank you.. Thank you so much
Dr: You can go home you'll see him tomorrow
during visiting hours

Me: Thank you again

He walked away..

I took my bag and walked out I'll have to get an

Uber home..

ZITHA MAGASELA
I poured myself a glass of wine and went on
Facebook to search her account. This child I know
her from when she first came to the orphanage she
was only 12. She only went to Singapore last year
had a promising future. She was 19 when she left
and I had high hopes that she was going to make it.

She had a bright future she was an A student.. I

checked her photos and the last upload was a few
months ago. Her account was private only showed
pictures that she had uploaded. It was weird there
was no picture of her at any college nor university.

I mean if you went to study overseas you would

upload pictures at school. One picture that really
got to me was of her arm she had cuts. So she was
self multilating she was depressed. Doesn't Dad and
the social workers check up on these kids? Probably
the pressure of being far away got to her or
something. This was bad it was really bad.

ZITHA MAGASELA
I didn't get much sleep last night. I kept on thinking
about Kea and a lot of things weren't making sense
with regards to her death. So the next morning I set
out to the offices of the Social Workers who help us
at the orphanage I needed some clarity..

I knocked at the door..

Mrs Dlamini: Come in

Mrs Dlamini is the social worker in charge. She's the

superior and the other ones work under her
supervision..
Mrs D: Zitha what an unexpected surprise

Me: How are you Mrs D?

Mrs D: I'm well and you my Darling?

Me: I'm well too

We shared a hug..

Mrs D: What brings you into my humble century so

early in the morning?

Me: I want to talk to you about something before I

head out to the studio
Mrs D: Yes of course please have a seat

I sat down..

Mrs D: Would you like some tea?

Me: No thank you.. I'm fine

She sat down too..

Me: Last night my Father told me that 3 of the girls
that were sent to Singapore last year committed
suicide

Mrs D: Ohw yes.. How unfortunate. They had a

promising future
Me: Which tertiary were they enrolled at that side?

Mrs D: The Nanyang Technology university of

Singapore abbreviated "NTU"

Me: It has been ranked the 1st youngest universitiy

in the QS World University Rankings since 2015 as
of August 2020?

Mrs D: You got that right

Me: It's a good university that is supposed to have

some psychological help with regards to foreign
students

Mrs D: That is correct

Me: How come the girls committed suicide then?

Mrs D: We don't know we just got the call and they

told us that they will email us reports detailing the
suicides so we can alert the families and also we
trying the embassy to see if the families can claim
the bodies to be buried here. The MG organization
is fully committed to providing the necessary
support that all 3 families will need during their
time of bereavement. Including financial support

Me: Don't you guys check up on these girls? Kea's

Facebook. She had an upsetting picture where she
was self mutilating which signifies the onset of
depression

Mrs D: We have psychological personnels that side

to help the girls settle if they struggling

I sighed..
Mrs D: What happened was unfortunate and sad
but such things happen Zitha. On a daily people put
out a facade that they okay they wear a smile whilst
deep down they are dying slowly and slowly until
they see no hope anymore of trying

Me: I understand.. It's just.. Kea was a very

determined girl

Mrs D: Aren't they all?

Me: Thank you so much for your time and sorry for
disturbing you

Mrs D: Oh please.. You are most welcome to come

and enquire about anything that you don't
understand
I nodded..

Me: Thank you for the clarification I should get

going

Mrs D: Enjoy your day

Me: You too

PEGGY KUNENE
I was at work for my early shift. I was doing
8:0017:00. Sleep eluded me last night I cried most
of the night and prayed..

Mickey walked into the kitchen..

Mickey: Peg!

Me: Yes chef?

He tossed the plate on the table..

Mickey: The egg Flourentine it's too runny

Me: sì chef (Yes chef)

Mickey: What's wrong with you? This is the second
plate you messing up this morning. This behaviour is
unlike you

I exhaled trying not to get emotional..

Me: It's my boyfriend he got stabbed last night. He's

in hospital

Mickey: È orribile (That's horrible)

Me: I'm so sorry about this chef I'll fix the order

Mickey: No you will fix yourself by going home I'm

giving you the day off

Me: That's unnecessary Sir

Mickey: We all get personal problems once in a
while it's okay just come back with your head right
tomorrow

Me: Yes Chef thank you

THE MENDOZA

[Location: Washington D.C]

It was 2am in the morning and I was on the floor in
my apartment doing push ups. At 7am I'll have to go
to work. I never show up at work without getting
the much needed exercise.. I don't sleep that much
Sponsored

I'll have to go to work. I never show up at work

without getting the much needed exercise.. I don't
sleep that much in my line of work we are always on
call so I am used to not sleeping. I wanted to call
Peg on their side is approximately 8am in the
morning.
I got up from the floor breathing heavy when I
heard a knock at the door..

Me: I'm coming

I took the towel and went to open it was Yvonne..

She looked at me all the way down.

Yvonne: Good morning

Me: Morning

I let her in..

Yvonne: Bagel and beer?

She was holding a 6 pack can of beers and a package
of takeaways..

Me: Yeah.. Why not

Yvonne and I we sleeping together. We not in a

relationship just sleeping together. We both single
by choice work and relationships one suffers
greatly..

Yvonne: If I knew that you would be exercising I

would've brought my catholic girl outfit so you
could punish me for my sins

I looked at her..
Me: What did you say?

Yvonne: Catholic girl outfit

I thought for a while..

Yvonne: What?

I walked up to her and kissed her..

Me: I just cracked the case

Yvonne: You did?

Me: Check this out

She put the things she was holding on the table

then took out one can and tossed it at me..
Me: Thank you

Yvonne: Hit me

Me: Remember when we were tailing Davis?

Yvonne: Yes?

Me: Everyday at night he would go to the catholic

church

Yvonne: To purify himself of his sins

Me: That's what we thought

Yvonne: You losing me

Me: His sister was in the catholic church

Yvonne: Yes she was she was staying there after it

was founded that her father used to sexually abuse
her

Me: Most girls who were violated go there to seek

shelter stability and a new life. A better life

Yvonne: Yes Father Williams is in charge of Nuns

there

She widened her eyes..

Yvonne: Ohh my God!

Me: Father Williams is the master mind behind this
operation. Davis was just his puppet. Davis started
working with him by kidnapping little girls with the
history of sexual abuse to take them to the church
so the church can help and protect them from their
abusers Davis thought he was doing a good deed
since his own Sister was "Helped" by the church

Yvonne: So how did Maggie end up being

slaughtered?

Me: Maggie must've refused or fought back father

Williams who then did away with her

Yvonne: Or better yet she wanted to report him so

he had to silence her

Me: See how it was easy it was to find Davis? Davis

must've somehow found out about this and he
couldn't live with himself. If he had been arrested
his conscience was still going to eat him alive
Yvonne: So he opted for suicide instead

Me: I think we should pay Father Williams a visit

KIRS BOSCH (GUSTAVO)

Me: What do you mean she was there asking

Questions?
Mrs D: She came about 30min ago and she was
asking questions about the 3 girls that committed
suicide in Singapore

Me: Why is MG's Daughter asking about such?

Mrs D: She's fairly engaged at the Orphanage she

helps out from time to time

Me: What? Why wasn't I told about this?

Mrs D: I thought MG told you

Me: He told me nothing!

Mrs D: She's asking serious questions Sir questions

that might wind us up in trouble
Me: Thank you for letting me know I'll handle it
Mrs D: Yes Sir

I hung up and sunk into my thoughts for a moment

then I felt hands hugging me from the back..

Tshilo: Good morning

I turned and looked at her I placed my hands on her

cheeks and kissed her..

Me: Good morning

Tshilo: Are you ready to go?

Me: Yes I'm ready

Tshilo: But first we have to go and fetch my portrait

I smiled...

Me: We can do that

As Sihle and I were busy at the studio our couple
made their way in. Kirs was wearing casual today
blue jeans a white t-shirt and white sneakers. I
wonder if this guy ever looks ugly in any outfit? I
guess he's just way too handsome for such. What a
beautiful couple they are they certainly do make
good couple goals no lie about that..

Kirs: Good morning

Me: Good morning

Kirs: We here for the portrait I made the transfer an

hour ago

Me: Ohw yes.. I received it

I looked at Sihle..

Me: Please get the portrait

Sihle: Yes Mam

She walked away..

Kirs: So this is your day to day hustle?

Me: You can say that

Kirs: Do you make a good profit on a daily?

Me: It depends

Kirs: What else do you do other than this?

Me: Nothing much.. But I do help out at the
orphanages

Kirs: Orphanages?

Me: My Father runs or rather owns two Orphanages

Kirs: That's interesting he sounds like a good man

Me: He is

Kirs: With the rate of Orphans in the country he's

doing a good thing. I admire him already
I smiled..

Me: He's my Hero

Kirs: I guess he's my hero too from hereon wish I
could meet him

Me: He's a very busy Man

Kirs: Didn't expect nothing more run-

Tshilo: I'll give you two some space I'll go wait in the
car

She walked away..I looked at her..

Me: She's mad

Kirs: Excuse Me

He walked after her..

THE MENDOZA

We managed to go get Father Williams from the

church and brought him down to the FBI building.
To question him..

I was doing the questioning..

He seemed oddly calm like he wasn't in trouble.. I

pulled the chair and sat down opposite him..
Me: Father Williams

He looked at me..

Father: Agent

Me: I think we have already given you an idea on

why we brought you here

Father: You did

Me: I expect the truth from you nothing but the
truth and so help you God

Father: Amen

Me: Where are the girls?

Father: What girls?

Me: The girls you had Mr Davis kidnap for you

Father: I don't know what you talking about Agent

Me: But you do know Mr Davis right?

Father: Yes I do.. He was a lost soul came to the

church a few times for spiritual advice
Me: The advice included you holding little girls
captive?

Father: Agent I wish I knew what you were talking

about. All the girls in the compound are there
legally so they are well taken off and in the process
of being Junoir Nuns

Me: Junoir Nuns? What is this? A catholic

preschool?

Father: Let me guess Agent you are not a believer?

In God that is

Me: I believe in what I can see.. I believe that if

there was a God he wouldn't let a sick old man like
you violate innocent little girls. Matter of fact you
not even sick because if I say that then I'm excusing
your behaviour. You are a psychopath A pedophile
A Monster that doesn't deserve to be walking free

He mocked me with a chuckle..

Father: Maybe if you were a believer then you
would believe in what I do

I hit the table..

Me: Stop with the self glory and tell me where the
girls are!

Father: I don't know

I looked at him..

Me: We going to keep you here until the FBI is done

turning your church upside down

Father: Have it your way Detective don't let me get

in between you and your work
I got up and closed the chair then I walked to the
door...

VHUTSHILO BOSCH

I stood by the car looking at my wrists. They were

still painful from last night's ordeal.

Kirs calmy made his way to me..

Kirs: What is it Liefie?

Me: The conversation didn't include me I wasn't

going to stand there and look like a fool

Kirs: You know that you have no reason to be

jealous you are my day one

I shook my head..

Me: I'm not jealous why would I be if it's just a

normal conversation.. Right?

Kirs: Right

Me: I would like to wait in the car

Sponsored

until you done

He took out the keys from his pocket..

Kirs: This is ridiculous Mrs Bosch

Me: Hit the button

Kirs: Liefie

Me: Hit the button Kirs

Kirs: Hey!!!

My heart skipped a beat..

Kirs: What's this childish behavior about?

When he loses his shit it's better to keep quiet..

He tried to calm himself down..

Kirs: I don't.. I don't see her that way

I know that Kirs would never leave me for another

woman which woman out there would tolerate
what he is and what he does?
You have to be all kinds of mental unstable like me
to take it all in....

He held both my hands and pulled me to him he

placed his forehead against mine..

Kirs: Let's go back in get the portrait and go home.. I

won't open small talks with her I promise

I nodded...
Me: Okay

He kissed me on my forehead..

Kirs: Let's go

PEGGY KUNENE
I was so happy to find Lu awake he gave me a
serious scare last night. I was sitting on the chair
beside his bed and holding his hand. He was still
weak and a bit disoriented

Lu: How are you? You look like you didn't get any
sleep

I gave him a weak smile..

Me: We should be worrying about you here not Me.

You the one on the hospital bed

Lu: I'm sorry Peg for putting you through this pain I
shouldn't have lashed out on a stranger like that
I moved my hand up to his shoulder..

Me: You have nothing to apologize for

Lu: I wish they can discharge me already you must

be scared being in the flat alone

Me: I'm good.. Don't worry about me

Lu: Can you please get me a glass of water?

Me: Yes

I stood up to go get him a glass of water...

THE MENDOZA

I checked his file..

Me: It's time to break him

Beckworth: Don't put your hands on him

I nodded repeatedly..

Beckworth: I'll be watching through the glass

Me: Yes Sir

I turned around and made my way back in. He had
his hands on the table with his eyes closed like he
was praying..

Me: Okay Father cut the crap.. Even God can't save
you from this one

He opened his eyes and looked at me as I sat

opposite him tossing his file on the table.

Me: We know your history.. Your sexual history. As

a child your Nanny violated you sexually and your
Parents never did anything about that. You felt
failed and you were scarred. You never healed from
that experience and in turn you putting these girls
through what you went through as a little boy.
Instead of getting the help you needed they turned
you to God. Told you to pray your pain away
Father: That is true about my childhood and as a
Person who went through such you should know
that I would never put any child through that
experience because I know how it feels

Me: I am trying to make this easier for you but you

keep on making it hard on yourself. When we find
the girls you are going down for a very long time
and I will make sure that they don't set you up for
any psych evaluation to pardon your sins. You are
lucid

Father: God saved me my Son

Me: I am not your Son!

My phone vibrated. I took it out and checked it was

a message from Yvonne:

"We found the girls"

I smiled..
ZITHA MAGASELA

Kirs: I hope we will cross paths again soon and I

hope it won't be under any harsh circumstances

I was confused..

Me: I don't understand

Kirs: It's good that you don't understand keep it that

way

He turned to his wife..

Kirs: Ready to go?

Tshilo: Yes

He wrapped his arm around her waist and they

walked out..

I turned to Sihle..

Me: Did that sound like a threat to you?

She shrugged her shoulders..

[A WEEK LATER]

I don't know why but Kea's death was weighing

down heavy on me. So much that I was able to
research on how to contact the University so that I
could enquire about her death...I sent an Email to
them a few days ago and they Emailed me back
today. I actually woke up to the Email and they said
that. They didn't have a student by those creditials
they also stated that they haven't had any suicides
at the University for the past 8 months... I was
getting more confused..

Rosi: Good morning

I closed my laptop..

Me: Morning

She was wearing her Yoga outfit..

Rosi: Aren't you supposed to be at the Studio
already?
Me: No.. I'm off today

Rosi: Okay

Me: Has Dad gone already?

Rosi: Yes

I nodded..

Me: Okay

Rosi: Was only here to get my shake

Me: Alright
Rosi: I'll be in the garden

Me: I won't disturb

Rosi: Thank you

She walked away...

I got down from the high chair to go to his study..

PEGGY KUNENE
I looked around and then looked at the time. I've
been waiting for him for 30min now. I actually got
here early I know that I wasn't all for him coming
but when time came. I was excited knowing that he
would be landing today.. I checked the time again
and when I got my head up. I saw him making his
way to me.. I got excited again he had his big bag
pack on his back and holding his jacket around his
arm.. I literally smiled and clapped my hands then
raised one up. He saw me and smiled too..

Me: Hey! Welcome home

I met him halfway for a hug..

Mendoza: You have gotten big

Me: Please!

He kissed me on the cheek...

Me: How was the flight?

Mendoza: Bloody long. I even thought that I flew for

the entire week

Me: You such a baby

We made our way to my car...

LUNGELO
I sat in his office. When I got to work this morning I
was called into his office I am not sure why I'm here
but maybe I'm getting a promotion. I'm the best
accountant that this company has..

He walked in with his mug of coffee and closed the

door..

Boss: Good morning

Me: Good morning Sir

He went over to his desk and sat down on his chair..
He placed the mug on the coffee table and
remained quiet for a while..
Me: Sir?

Boss: Why did you do it?

I looked at him...

Boss: You one of the best employees that I have

you've been working for us for many years and I
trusted you

I swallowed..
Boss: Why have you been stealing money from the
company?
My tie volunteerarly strangled me..

Boss: You have been stealing for what now? 3

years? 6k every month?

Me: Sir

Boss: Don't try to deny it! I have proof and I hired a

professional who traced your secret account where
the money was going in!

Yes I have been stealing from the company only

because I wanted to use that money to marry Peg
and buy us a house..
Me: Sir I.. I am sorry

Boss: Have you used that money?

Me: No

Boss: Good.. You will return it all of it and then

resign. That will save you some lengthy jail time.
Unfortunately this is going to go down on your
record. I need a detailed letter of resignation stating
that you were stealing from the company. Don't
even think about a letter of recommendation
because I cannot put out a thief to go and rob
others. You just buried yourself Lungelo you will
never get a job anywhere and I'll make sure of it! I
might not send you to jail but I will damn destroy
you piece by piece! So that you never steal from
anyone else ever again! By the end of today I'm
going to need that letter signed by you and then
clear your desk and get the hell out of my building!
You done!!!!

I looked around and his study was neat. Everything

seemed to be in place nothing was out of place. I
went to the book shelf there wasn't anything in
there that could be of any interest to me. Just books
old books judging by the cover. On his table rested
his PC. I pulled the chair and sat down. I opened it
and switched it on. A password has always been a
Motherfucker! .. I thought for a minute or two
started off with my date of birth. Nothing went with
my name. Nothing!

I closed it before going any further to leave a

loophole that someone was sniffing. I opened his
drawers just a bunch of papers and files. I took out
the files It was files of the girls. I looked through
Kea's file..

"Sent to study at Singapore"..

There wasn't anything that I didn't already know

other than the next of Kin's address.
I took a picture with my phone and put the files
back in...

I'm sure he has a safe hidden somewhere around

here...

I glanced down at her naked bruised body on the
floor. She was bruised all over her body

other than the next of Kin's address.

I took a picture with my phone and put the files

I glanced down at her naked bruised body on the

floor. She was bruised all over her body and very
cold. Signs of ligature marks around her wrists. Her
Wig was covering her face the bruises were mostly
green in colour. She was light skinned.. I sighed and
closed my eyes..
Me: When did this happen?

Rich: I found her this morning

I looked around the room saw alcohol and drugs..

Me: Did she overdose?

Rich: Yes

Me: How is that possible?

Rich: Look Kirs it doesn't matter!

Rich is a very good and rich Nigerian Client of mine

he pays good money for the girls. He deals drugs..
Girls that we mostly get for him are per his request.
Sometimes he would see a girl he likes on social
media and send me a word we will tail the girl and
kidnap the girl for him. When he's done with her he
kills her.

It's not really difficult to dispose the body we

dispose it somewhere not close. Make it look like
another typical girl went missing case and found
dead in a bush..

Me: I'll get the cleaners

Rich: Good

Me: She's been missing for how long? 3 weeks now?

Rich: Yes
I got back up to my feet..

Rich: I saw one on Instagram yesterday she likes

posting pictures of herself half naked in a pool

Me: Okay
Rich: I want her

Me: Tell me about her over a glass of whiskey

ZITHA MAGASELA
After bathing I drove down to the address that I got
from Kea's form. Of the next ok kin.

Iker won't be available for the whole week they

training because of the big game they have this
coming weekend with Kaizer Chiefs. It's a big game
and I'm going down to the stadium to watch it. Only
because Kaizer chiefs was my team before Iker
came into my life. Kaizer chiefs was my first team
then my Father's team was a second choice. Since I
started dating Iker I had to ditch it because both
teams hate each other's guts.
The drive took me right deep in the slums of
Alexandra deep in the shacks. The living conditions
here are heartbreaking no human being should live
like this. It's dehumanizing our government is
clearly failing South Africa

I was also scared I've heard a lot of nightmares

about this place. The crimes and violence happening
around here sent chills down my spine if I'll make it
out alive most eyes were on my car as it drove in..
It was hard to find the exact place I'll have to stop
and ask. I parked my car and waited inside waited
for someone who looked a good Samaritan to pass
so I could ask..

PEGGY KUNENE

The Mendoza was awfully quiet and glued to his

phone.. I was the one driving..
Me: Missing DC already?

Mendoza: This is sickening

Me: What?

Mendoza: I am catching up on the crimes in South

Africa the rate of girls going missing abducted
trafficked and killed is alarming.

Me: Tell me about it

Mendoza: What are the authorities saying?

Me: Well the minister of Police said that it's a

Publicly Stunt
Mendoza: What?

Me: We live in fear most of the time women little

girls and also boys are disappearing day in and day
out. The law is failing us

Mendoza: I have to talk to this minister of Police

before I leave
I looked at him..

Me: He's the minister of Police you can't just talk to

him

Mendoza: I am an FBI Agent all the way from DC.

With a few calls he will be forced to talk to me

I shook my head..
Me: Mendoza don't go starting trouble

Mendoza: You live in this country I am far away.

What will I do if something like this happened to
you? I am not brushing this off

LUNGELO
I sat in the car with the box of my staff rested on the
passenger's seat. The sharp pain on my back shot
through. I fixed the pillow then laid back with my
eyes closed.

The money I was stealing I was hoping to stop at

500k. Then cover the rest in buying a house cash
and planning a worthy wedding for Peggy. She's a
good girlfriend and I sort of wanted to give her the
wedding of her dreams.. This whole situation is
fucked I have 25k in my account. With our amount
of bills that money won't take us far. Not forgetting
that I am a sole breadwinner at home... This was
stressful I had hoped that the company won't notice
but they did...
I don't know what I'm going to do now being an
unemployed Man is not nice. Your pride and ego
gets bruised it's worse when your woman has to
pay all the bills and support you too. That's where
they start changing start wanting to call the shots
and wear the pants in the relationship. It's
degrading and puts you in a place that you don't
want to be in.. I exhaled and started the car then
drove off...

My Mother was so happy to see her Son.
I was happy too that he's home we hardly see him...

Ma: I thought that maybe by now you would show

up with a nice lady saying that she's your wife

Mendoza: Mother.. You know I don't have time for

that

Ma: A Man needs a woman. A stable life

Mendoza: I don't know about that I'm mostly in the
field hunting and putting monsters away. Where
will I get time for that part of life?
Ma: Maybe you just haven't found the lady that has
swept you off your feet

I sorted the plates on the table. My Mother had

made her delicious Shepherd's pie.

Ma: Take Peggy for instance. She's settled with an

accountant. Lu is a very good boy comes from a
good family and I really like him

Mendoza: I'm just comfortable with the fact that he

respects her

Ma: And loves her

Mendoza: Yeah that too

Ma: I was thinking this weekend we could have a

family lunch Peggy can bring over Lu

Me: That's a good idea

I went to fetch the milk...

I wasn't far off from Kea's home. After being
directed I made my way on foot in the wet muddy
ground. It was good that I was wearing sneakers
instead of heels..

The shack was small. I knocked the door was half

closed..

Me: Hello?

I heard a woman coughing..

Woman: Ubani? (Who is it)

Me: U.. Igama lami uZitha (My name is Zitha)

Woman: Zitha wakuphi loyo? (Zitha from where)

It was difficult conversing with someone that I

couldn't see..

Me: Bengicela uMa asondele (May you please show

yourself)

It took her a while to show up. She was wearing a

dress and a doek walking barefooted. Her face gave
it away that she's an alcoholic..

Woman: Ngingakusiza? (May I help you)

Me: Ngicela ukubuza ukuthi kukwabo Kea la? (is this
Kea's home)

Woman: Yebo uKeabetswe (Yes)

Me: uMama ka Kea? (Are you Kea's Mother)

Woman: Cha.. Mamncane Mantwa (I'm her Aunt)

I nodded..

Mantwa: Sisi ngingakucenda? (Can I help you with

something)

Me: uKea ube ehlala ku Orphanage (Kea was in an

Orphanage)

Mantwa: Yebo (Yes)

Me: Uyazi ukuthi uShonile (Are you aware that she's
dead)

Her eyes widened..

Mantwa: Ini? (What)

Me: Abakakutsheli? (They haven't told you)

Mantwa: Cha.. Kanjani? (how)

Me: U.. Uzibulele (She killed herself)

She shook her head..

Mantwa: Njani uMntaka Sisi (How)

Me: Ngiyaxolisa Ma (I'm sorry)
Mantwa: Angiyiva kahle.. Kuzomele ngiye khona
lapha eyintandaneni ngiyozwa Kahle (I need to go to
the Orphanage to enquire)

I nodded...

Mantwa: Bamthatha umntwana bathi uzoba

nekusasa elihle kanti mina ngiyazidakela ke vele le
ndawo beyingekho safe for yena (They took her
saying that they will give her a better life and
future. She wasn't going to stay here because I'm an
alcoholic)

Me: Ngiyaxolisa (I'm sorry)

Mantwa: Bengiyithembile ke lendawo ngo mntaka

Sisi manje ubuya ngebhokisi (I trusted that place
with my Sister's child now she's coming back in a
coffin)
I didn't say anything..

Mantwa: Cha sisi ithi ngigeze ungiyise khona lapha

(Let me bath so you can take me there)

KIRS BOSCH (GUSTAVO)

Rich showed me the girl's pictures on Instagram.

She had a beautiful admirable body. She was
beautiful too. Each picture she posted came with a
location mentioned not forgetting the familiar
looking places in her pictures...
Rich: So how do we get her?

Me: It's easy.. I'll get Ronell on this. Make her an

offer of some sort in her DM she likes playing
around with makeup. Something along those lines

Rich: And?

Me: Send her a believable location for the interview

she gets there then they'll get her

He nodded..

Rich: Sounds like a plan.. How much?

Me: Nothing interesting about her other than her
body.. 50k

Rich: Then we have a deal

I made my way in we were in the Cape Flats. The

devil's playground. Over the years Kirs was able to
entirely own the flats around here. That's where
most girls are even those who are ready to be
shipped to another country. It's heavily guarded not
even the cops play around here. How can they?
when Kirs and his gang run the country. Have
people in high places on their pay roll...

There was a bit of a problem at first between Kirs

and the Gangs from around here

not even the cops play around here. How can they?
when Kirs and his gang run the country. Have
people in high places on their pay roll...
There was a bit of a problem at first between Kirs
and the Gangs from around here they didn't take it
lightly that he wanted to take over but with the
right negotiations they ended up forming an
alliance. So who would dare touch such a place?...

Innocent civilians not all of them are aware of what

goes down in the flats they probably think that it's
just girls living here who don't have homes. But
most know what's happening they can't do anything
about it..
I come here every now and then to help prepare
most of the girls. Especially those that are meant to
be traded so they could be sex slaves. Sold to the
rich and also the ones who will be rented for a
month or so.

I looked around and it was quiet guards walking

around and gangsters who guard the place. I was
with 3 guards I never come alone. Kirs always has
me tailed..

The girls who are more respectful who follow

instructions and don't create any chaos. They are
put in one place and they live better the ones who
are finding it difficult to adjust are the ones who live
more harshly..
They are treated like animals sometimes raped and
beaten by the guards and gangsters. It's crazy it
takes me back..

I heard screams I looked over and saw 5 naked girls

facing the wall. With their hands up against the wall
and they were being splashed with cold water in
this cold weather. They had bruises some of their
wounds were bleeding clearly showing that they
were being whipped.

The flesh from their backs had peeled off.

The ones who couldn't maintain balance would be
whipped again and again with a sjambok. They were
shivering too one even collapsed. One of the guards
walked up to her and kicked her on her face..

Guard: Staan op!! (Get up)

I closed my eyes as a lump got stuck in my throat..

I felt a hand on my shoulder it freaked me out.. I

opened my eyes it was one of the guards who was
ushering me..
Guard: This way Mam'

Without even thinking twice I ran straight towards

the girls..

Guard: Mrs Bosch

Me: Stop!! It's enough!! It's enough!!

I got to where the action was taking place water
splashed me too. I threw myself down and covered
her as her cries came deep from a bleeding heart..

Me: It's enough!!! Stop!!!

ZITHA MAGASELA
We were driving down to the orphanage. Kea's Aunt
was on the passenger's seat awfully quiet..

Me: Ma uright? (are you alright)

She shook her head with tears in her eyes..

Ma: Ngamhabisa umntwana ngicabanga ukuthi

uzophepha uzoba nek'sasa elihle. Isimo sam
sasingavumi ukuthi uKea ahlale nami. Ngangi hlala
nomunye uBaba obekade afuna ukulimiza Ingane
ngokwecansi (I sent Kea to the orphanage thinking
that she would be safe there. My lifestyle didn't
allow her to live with me I used to live with a man
who wanted to rape her)
I exhaled..

Mantwa: Bathembisa ukuthi bazomnakelela uKea

washo ukuthi naye uzosebenza kakhulu eskolweni
bese athole umsebenzi. Bese uzong'thatha
asithengele indlu (They promised to take care of her
Kea also promised to work hard at school so she
could get a good job then buy us a house)

She wiped her tears using her shawl..

Mantwa: Ngeke nje umntwana ka Sisi azibulale
angivumi! (there's no way that Kea would kill
herself I deny)

ZITHA MAGASELA

I beat myself up the whole day about what

happened earlier today. Before leaving the
Orphanage Mrs D had farnished me with all the
documents I needed. Everything on these girls. I
then drove Mantwa back home and drove myself
home too. To evaluate everything that I was given.
It took me almost the rest of the day to go through
everything and I'm disappointed in myself that I was
ready to accuse my own Father when such
substantial evidence has been provided.. Kea was in
Singapore under the alias name "Melody Jackson".
The report from the University provided the details
of her registration student number and that she
dropped out halfway through. Hence why they said
they didn't have any Kea in their records she wasn't
using that name there.
I checked everything her Visa her immigration
status. It all checked out under her alias name
"Melody Jackson". Including her detention center
information when she was detained for possession
of drugs..

I shook my head in disappointment how could she

do this? She had a very good opportunity. A once in
a lifetime opportunity to better her life in Singapore
and she misused it. Why? She was one of the best
My Father knocked once in my bedroom and stood
by the door folding his arms..

Me: I don't even know what to say you must be hurt

and disappointment

He flashed a smile..

Dad: At first I was but in all honesty. I'm proud of

you. You noticed that something wasn't right and
you went with your intuition

Me: I just.. Mrs D she seemed frightened scared for

her life. She kind of like warned me
Dad: I didn't wanna tell you this Princess but. When
our people that side checked on her Kea was
involved with the most dangerous people. She was
involved with Mafias and KingPins very dangerous
people. We distanced ourselves because we were
scared we couldn't get her back and the other girls.
They dropped out of Varsity got involved with drugs
and they were busy being traded for sex. They sold
themselves to these monsters. I could've done
something but you can't go after those people. Plus
it was a stretch. We here they there. I'm sorry I
could've done something

Me: I understand you don't have to Apologize. It is

dangerous Mafias are dangerous especially the ones
from that side
Dad: That's why Mrs D was like that with you we
scared hence we just took it as how it was
presented to us as suicide and kept our mouths
shut. I need you to do the same too

I nodded repeatedly..

Me: I get where you coming from this is dangerous

Dad: Exactly.. I need us to trust each other Zitha I'll
never put a girl's life in harm's way on purpose. I've
ran the orphanages for years and some of the kids
are doing well. If I was involved in shitty things all the
kids would be in harm's way. Authorities would've
long locked me up

Me: I know.. I know and I'm sorry

Dad: Can we please let this go? What if these
people come after you? I'm sure they have ears
everywhere even here in SA. I would never forgive
myself if something happened to you your Mother
would never forgive me too

Me: You right let's just forget about it

Dad: Thank you

VHUTSHILO BOSCH
I opened the door and walked into the house. I
closed it and leaned against it for a few seconds
taking a deep breath and preparing myself for what
lies ahead further deep into these walls.. The house
was quiet when I proceeded I heard Kirs' voice
coming from Azelea's bedroom. I made my way
there and stood at the door..

Kirs: The End

Azelea: Papa do monsters exist? Will they get me?

Kirs: Monsters will never get to you I'll make sure of

that

He held her hand..

Kirs: What does Daddy always sing you?

Azelea: Mockingbird

Kirs: "Now hush little baby don't you cry

Everything's gonna be alright..

Stiffen that upper lip up little lady

I told ya daddy's here to hold ya

Through the night..

And if you ask me to

Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird

I'ma give you the world

I'ma buy a diamond ring for you

I'ma sing for you I'll do anything for you to see you
smile..

And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring

don't shine

I'ma break that birdy's neck

I'll go back to the jeweller who sold it to ya

And make him eat every carat

Don't fuck with dad"

Azelea smiled..

Kirs: Close your eyes and go to sleep my Angel I love

you so much

Azelea: I love you too

I smiled a little..

He got up and kissed her on her forehead. He then

turned the monitor on and turned around seeing
me standing by the door. He put his hands deep in
the pockets of his sweat pants and walked up to the
door. He switched off the light and walked out
pushing me out of the way..

Me: Kirs
Kirs: My Daughter is trying to sleep please don't
disturb her

He closed the door and walked to our bedroom...

PEGGY KUNENE

I looked at him..

Lu: I know it was stupid

I got up from the couch and took the plates from
the small table then I walked to the kitchen. He
followed me..

Lu: Babe can we talk about this?

I put the plates in the sink and closed my eyes..

Lu: I was.. I just wanted to give you the best

wedding

Me: We could've gotten married inside a damn

trailer and I still would've been happy what made
you think that what we have is not good enough?
So much that you had to ruin your life like this? Did I
ever make you feel like you were not good enough?
Or you are in this relationship alone? A marriage is
between two people! We could've both put out
money budget together and have a wedding that
was going to make us happy. A small intimate
ceremony within our budget! A house? We could've
gotten a loan bought it through the bank and pay
the loan monthly until we done! Why Lu?

Lu: I'm so sorry

Me: You sorry? You sorry? My Brother he.. Do you

know what he's going to say about this? My Brother
is an FBI Agent! He puts guys like you behind bars!

Lu: I know Peg it was stupid and I'm going to fix it..
Just don't leave me please

Me: Fix it how? You won't get a job anywhere not

with your record! You know.. You even lucky that
you not going to jail
I clicked my tongue and walked away he grabbed
my arm. I yanked it off..

Me: Don't touch me! Don't you ever touch me!

VHUTSHILO BOSCH

I made my way to the bedroom he was standing at

the balcony. I put my things on the bed and slowly
made my way to him..
Me: Hun

He was staring at the sky..

Me: Sorry that I am late I.. It got crazy at the flats

and I stayed for longer I should've called

Kirs: I was told about what you did today

I swallowed..

Kirs: You made the people who work for me

question me see my vulnerability and that I can't
keep my wife in line

Me: It wasn't my intention to have you dis-

He turned around and made his way to me. My
mind froze It went blank for me to react. He slapped
me harder than he has ever had before that I took a
few steps back and fell to the floor..

Kirs: I can take being disrespected by anyone but

not my damn wife!!

Me: I'm sorry

Kirs: From today you will never go back there ever
again! You will be back to staying at home all day
everyday like a prisoner

Me: Kirs please

Kirs: You will never be allowed to go out anywhere

ever again anything you want outside of this house
will be bought and brought for you!
Me: It was a mistake

Kirs: A mistake that will never happen again and I'm

making sure of it! I gave out an order and you had it
declined

He crouched next to me and put his hand on my

throat..
Kirs: I have a Daughter and you to protect! If the
Cape Flats gang see where my vulnerability lies it's a
crack for me! That was stupid of you Tshilo! Keep on
doing this and you will never see Azalea again. I'll
have to take her to a place far away from here
where she will be safe and grow up with someone
else who will be like a Mother to her then you.. I will
toss you to the dogs! Do you know where your life
would be if didn't save you? They would've shipped
you to Mexico Bangladesh or any country. You
would've been a sex slave to multiple Men you
would be sick today or better yet dead! You would
be traded around for money money that you
wouldn't even taste!

He let go..

Kirs: Keep on pushing then you will understand why

they call me Gustavo! I worked hard to be who I am
today and to be this much feared. I'm not going to
let you ruin it for me just because you have a heart
a heart towards girls that hold no relation to you!.. I
forgive you but I'll never forget this! Don't ever
think that you are irreplaceable. The same way I got
you is the same way I can get another girl!
He spat on me..

Kirs: You disgust me!

He got up and walked away..

The following morning I woke up to an interesting

DM on my Instagram. Some white woman by the
name of "Ronell Miller"

Sent me a message wich read:

"Greetings to you
I just stumbled on your pictures not so long ago and
noticed that you are big on make up judging from
the videos of makeup tutorials that you upload I
know I gotta have you in my team. I run my own
makeup line lipsticks eye liners and mascara mostly.
I need an ambassador and for each video you make
I'll pay you R500. The video will be uploaded in my
YouTube channel.

I have a lot of people who do tutorials for me.
Please also check my page on the net of my makeup
line. Also check my socials then please get back to
me and we can exchange contacts.
Kind regards

I spent approximately 1hr30min checking

everything. Everything was legit and her Instagram
together with her Facebook page were verified.
She's legit and the excitement that came over me
was unexplainable. I replied to her DM by giving her
my number.

I woke up very early in the morning to prepare
breakfast. We have helpers and a chef but at times I
enjoy doing things for my family.. Kirs and I slept in
separate bedrooms last night he was very angry no
lie..

It hurt that he is forbidding me to go to the cape

flats I've made friends there. I don't have much
friends and that's the only place where I have
friends and go too everyday to spend my days.
What I did was stupid Yes and he's right. He can
replace me with one of the girls from there..

Me: Here you go

I strapped her backpack over her shoulders

Azelea: I made a new friend at Preschool yesterday

Me: Really?

She nodded..

Me: That's nice sweetheart

Monitor: "There's someone at the door code 4992"

Me: Looks like your driver is here

I held her hand and we walked to the door.

I opened.. Azelea's driver is a trained female
assassin. They call her the "Fox". She drives Azelea
to preschool everyday and fetch her too. She's a
very strong woman because she was in body
building. The car that they use is bullet proof and
she's always strapped with a glock..

Me: Good morning

Fox: Mrs Bosch

I knelt down and looked at Azelea..

Me: I'll see you later okay?

Azelea: Okay
I kissed her and hugged her...

Me: I love you

Azelea: I love you too

Fox: Ready to go Miss little thang

Azelea: Yes

Fox held her hand..

Me: Bye

Azelea: Bye

Kirs came down for breakfast he was glued on his
phone as he walked to the table. Looking handsome
as always in his all black suit. He didn't have a tie on
this morning and the shirt wasn't buttoned all the
way up..

Me: Good morning

He pulled the chair and sat down still very much

entertained by his phone..

I need to get through to him with what happened

last night I need him not only to forgive but to
forget too.. I walked over to him and sat ontop of
him. He moved his hands out of the way. I wrapped
my arms around his neck..

Me: I'm sorry about last night it will never happen

again.. Please forgive me

He looked at me..

Me: No excuses no justifications I was wrong and

I'm sorry

Kirs: I did say I forgive you

Me: But you haven't forgotten

Kirs: I have to go and do damage control for what

you did yesterday
Me: I know.. I'm sorry

KIRS BOSCH

Kirs walked in just as I had finished showering again.

I showered in the morning when I woke up before
preparing breakfast decided to shower again since I
didn't put on lotion and deodorant the first time I
showered..

Me: Am I making you late?

Kirs: No.. Actually came to get a few things before

we leave
Me: Okay.. I'm left to get dressed let me check what
I'm going to wear

I made my way to the closet to pick out an outfit... I

was torn between 3 outfits I heard him walking in..
His footsteps placed him behind me. I felt his hands
squeezing my waist. I gasped. Felt the softness of
his lips against the back of my neck... He moved his
other hand all the way round to my thigh sneaking
his hand under my towel right against my coochie.
He parted my legs first before shoving his two
fingers deep inside of me.

A breath escaped my lips. He went for it with his

fingers very much rubbing my clit too with the palm
of his hand. It was a bit uncomfortable and painful
at first but as he continued I started to get wet.. He
moved his other hand and dropped my towel to the
floor. He squeezed and pulled my nipple. The pain
exerted there gave me more pleasure and made me
more wet..

He moved to the other nipple pinching it and pulling

it too.. After sometime of that act he removed his
fingers and turned me around he stuck them in my
mouth so I could suck them. With his other free
hand he tried to unbuckle his belt I ended up
helping him.

He told me to turn around and bend a little I did so.

With no warning I felt his belt leaving a stinging and
burning sensation across my butt. I closed my eyes
and bit my lower lip.

He went for it and screaming would give him more

pleasure and satisfaction to do it more.

He whipped my butt and I bit my lower lip hard with

tears feeling my eyes and legs shaking. The pain was
intense very much intense. He went on and on until
tears streamed down.. Then he stopped. My lips
were trembling I was sniffing as more tears
streamed down.. The last nail to the pain was him
squeezing my butt..
Kirs: Come here

His pants were on the floor and his briefs he went

and sat on the couch that was in the middle. I
walked up to him and got my legs over him. I
grabbed his hard shaft with his hands on my waist
and he pressed me down.

It wasn't that much painful since I was wet but

when I fully sat on him that's when the pain arose
from my still aching butt. He pressed me further
down I wrapped my arms around his neck and
buried my face on his shoulder. I didn't know if I
was going to be able to pull this off in so much pain.
He helped me to go up and down on him faster and
harder as I would've carried it out on my own. The
pain was the most Unbearable punishment. No
matter how much I tried not to cry loud I failed. And
that just gave him more and more pleasure..

I was Fustrated at work all I wanted was the clock to
strike 17:00 so I could knock off. Even knocking off
is a job on it's own because I have to go home. Go
back to breathing the same air with Lu after what
he has done.. I'm disappointed and very hurt he had
his whole life ahead of him to go and do something
stupid like that. One thing I know is that I won't be
able to settle down with a Man that is unemployed
and can't get his own after this. It's clear that he is
done.

It would be degrading to myself and my family if I

lower my standards like that as a woman and
support a man financially. I love Lu but what if the
wheel changes and things go back to normal in his
life how do I know he won't settle with a different
Person and leave me out in the cold? It happens I've
seen it happening to a lot of women...

Mickey: Nice new york strip yes?

Me: Thank you chef

I sighed.. At least this is not affecting my

performance I cannot afford any slip ups with my
job..
IKER (ZITHA'S BOYFRIEND)

She clung on me for dear life like I was set to die in a

few hours time. She had her arms around my neck
my hands resting underneath her exposed big butt.
She was in her g-string and bra. I was in my nikey
shorts

April: Do you really have to go?

I kissed her..
Me: Yes I have to go

April: But you told me training ended yesterday

Me: It did I have to go back to my place

April: I can't come?

Me: Not really

The honest truth is that I am not happy with Zitha.

Yes she did excite me at first when I laid my eyes on
her. Her beautiful thick lips her body and her
beauty. She seemed like a goddess in my eyes and I
knew that I had to have her.. Halfway through the
relationship it was draining. Being the Daughter of
the most successful man in SA went into her head.
She's bossy controlling and wants things done her
way because Daddy owns me.
She is very moody and holds herself to the highest
degree that's what made me to lose interest in her.
I'm with her only because I'm scared her Father
might ruin me should I break up with her
sometimes I lie about training only to spend time
with my second girlfriend April. April is amazing and
beautiful. She's an Instagram influencer her plastic
body is what attracted me to her. Her almost
perfect thick ass and thighs big boobs and her
beauty as a whole. She's very fun lives for the
moment but very costly.

That didn't come as a shock judging from how she

portrays her lifestyle on Instagram. The glitz and the
glamour. I noticed her because she was following
me used to comment on my pictures that I upload. I
checked her out and I was impressed with what I
saw. She knows I'm with Zitha and also doesn't
mind being a fling on the side so long I shower her
with money she's okay.

She doesn't post me she doesn't mention me. We

keeping it on the low and I'm happy with how things
are...

VHUTSHILO BOSCH
Our drive to the flats was an excruciating one for
me. I was in a lot of pain even the pillow I was
sitting on didn't help much. I had to sit on my side
had my hip bone take all the pressure to not put
any pressure on my already burning and painful
butt..

I was wearing a dress that wasn't tight and I wasn't

wearing any underwear for now..

When we got to the flats all the girls for yesterday

were ligned up against the wall as how it was
yesterday. I saw the one I was Nursing

Sponsored
her left eye was swollen and shut.
Her face was still swollen and she was being
mishandled in that state she even seemed weak.
They had to roughly drag her to the line up..

Bosch: I heard what happened yesterday I'm here to

make amends

Gestapo looked at me he is the leader of the gang

that is alliances with my husband..

Ges: When I got word I was confused. I thought we

were in agreement
Kirs: We are.. See the thing is she's a woman and
what happened here yesterday triggered that side
of her

Ges nodded..
Ges: ek verstaan (I understand)

Kirs: She spends most of her time here with the girls
so seeing that reminded her of what happened to
her when she was young. She was a victim of all of
this

Ges: I am just happy that there's no beef between

us. When I heard I didn't know what was
happening. We had agreed that we can treat the
girls anyway that we want

Kirs: The agreement is still on

Ges looked at me his look scared me. I squeezed
Kirs'hand..

Ges: The girls were being punished because they

tried to escape by killing one of my Men as a group
and getting a hold of his cellphone. We are here
because your husband has friends in high places in
the justice system and they were able to have our
backs

I kept quiet...

Kirs: It will never happen again

Ges: Thank you

Kirs: With that being said my wife would like to

make amends for that
Kirs looked at one of the guards who came closer
and brought us a gun..

Kirs: Which of the girls were you Nursing yesterday?

The guard quickly pointed at her.. What a sellout..

Kirs: You will take this gun and shoot her

My heart stopped.. He let go of my hand and took

the gun from the guard. He took my hand and we
walked closer to the girls.
Kirs then placed the gun on my hand he cocked it
first..

Kirs: There's..

Guard: 5 bullets

Kirs: 5 bullets in here..

He came closer and kissed me on my cheek.

Kirs: Make me proud

He then stepped back. I looked at the girl she

looked at me with her one eye that provided vision.
The others were trembling in fear but she.. She was
steady she showed no emotions.. A lot was running
through my mind I didn't wanna do this. It was
wrong it's not me..

Her: It's.. It's okay

I looked at her she nodded a little..

Her: It's okay

Those are the words I said to her yesterday when

she was going through it. I raised my hand and
pointed the gun at her..
Kirs: Eerr Liefie use both hands the impact might
knock you off

I placed my other hand and held the gun with both

my hands..

Me: I'm.. I'm really sorry

Her: It's okay

I fired the shots..

ZITHA MAGASELA

I received a call from Mantwa I have given her my

number yesterday before I left. I canceled and
called her back she might not have enough airtime..

Me: Ma
Mantwa: Sisi.. Lihamba njani icala? (how is the case
going)

I exhaled..

Me: Akunacala Ma uKea uzibulele (There's no case

Kea killed herself)

Mantwa: Ngeke akwenze lokho (She wouldn't do

that)

Me: I know that it's difficult to understand and

accept but when Kea got to Singapore she involved
herself with dangerous people people who made
her do drugs and there was no way out.. I'm sorry
Mantwa: Ngiyanizwa nisho lokho kodwa uKea ngeke
akwenze lokho (I hear all of you saying that but she
wouldn't do that)
Me: Maybe you didn't know her as much as you
thought you did after all she left home when she
was young. People change just take the money
being offered by the organization and bury your
Niece

Mantwa: Cha ngiyabonga. Ngeke ngathatha imali

yegazi nga ngcwaba ngayo umntwana. Akunandaba
kodwa uNkulunkulu uhlezi ekhona. Ngeke nginilwise
ngoba nine mali angina nex. Mara uNkulunkulu
wami uzongilwela (Thank you but I won't take blood
money and bury my Niece with it. It's okay God will
fight for me. You have money I don't so I won't fight
you. But God will)

With that being said she hung up.

THE MENDOZA

[3 DAYS LATER]
The meeting was happening today. I thought of a
small thing but the President of South Africa will be
present too so the meeting was to be held at the
"Union Buildings". I guess my office really shook
them..

It's going to be a televised 1hr session.

Already when I was making my way in cameras

were flashing. Journalists were lined up at the door
asking all sorts of questions. I ignored and made my
way in. Ushered straight to where the meeting was
going to be held. I'm glad that the media is here this
is definitely going to surpass what is supposed to be
a meeting and be a press conference. Journalists
from different news laters and TV channels were
present only 20 were allowed inside.. I greeted the
cabinet with handshakes starting from the President
and ending with his Companions. I sat down.
Spokesperson: We are gathered here to witness a
meeting held between the government and an FBI
Agent all the way from Washington D.C... On my
right we have General Menzi Cele Minister of Police.
Then we have the Minister of Transport next to him
"Eric Mbalula" and then we have the President Cyril
Ramaphosa. Last but not least we have Agent
Mendoza Kunene all the way from Washington D.C.
This gathering is to serve answers to the questions
which will be raised by Mr Kunene and our audience.

She sat down..

They looked at me..

Me: Thank you.. Thank you very much please

address me as "The Mendoza".. First and foremost I
would like to take this opportunity and thank the
President of South Africa for agreeing to have this
meeting with me along with his Cabinet. Many will
say why am I interfering if I am not a South African
citizen. My Mother is South African born and bred
in KwaZulu-Natal and moved down to Gauteng. My
Father is Nigerian originally from Lagos born there
but later on came to South Africa because of work
purposes and then I was born.. My Parents later on
separated and I moved to the states with my Father
where I grew up there. I was 10 years old when I
moved there. I studied there and today I'm an FBI
agent under the Behavioral Analysis Unit
abbreviated to "BAU". We study and profile
murderers and Serial killers devoted to put those
who don't belong in the society where they belong..

I looked at the room..

Me: I just landed not so long ago and I was sickened

with the research I made with regards to the crimes
in South Africa. One that really caught my attention
was Human trafficking Sex trade and the drug
syndicate. Many women and children have gone
missing turned up dead and yet no one is paying for
the sins. I'm here to ask the President and his
Cabinet specifically the General Menzi Cele. What
has been done to help with such cases?
Attention moved to them..

President: Thank you Mr Mendoza. Thank you for

your interest in our justice system. Our country has
a high crime rate that I won't dispute but even so
we have managed to put a lot of criminals behind
bars

Me: That was not the question Mr President. I'm

not here asking about the crime in general I'm
asking about the previously stated crimes
Menzi: President if I could jump in here. Thank you..
We are working tirelessly to bring down the human
trafficking syndicate and sex trade. We have put a
few behind bars and we are still going to put many
because we frown upon the brutality shown to our
country when it comes to women

Me: If I remember correctly you were quoted in

saying "It's a publicy stunt in all cases 3 or 2 cases
are real"
Menzi: Agent don't believe everything you read nor
hear. As I sit here today I am an enemy of Black
Twitter I was misquoted. In all honesty some cases
girls get reported missing only to turn up after 2
weeks with the explanation that they were at their
boyfriend's place. You can just imagine the waste of
resources

Me: Even so.. Should the real victims suffer for 3 or

4 girls who were at a boyfriend's place? And
Minister when a Person gets reported missing it is
the duty of the Police to follow up. Whether she
was at a boyfriend's place or not but still you follow
up. I stumbled on a case that happened back in
2017 a student went missing and speculations were
that she ran off to her Boyfriend's place. The case is
still open
Menzi: The case is still ongoing

Me: Any suspects? Any evidence collected? How far

is the case?

They remained quiet..

Me: I am not here to embarrass you in your own

country I am here to ask why this is happening?
Why so many unsolved cases of human trafficking?

ZITHA MAGASELA

I was at the studio watching the News

Sponsored
the meeting between this FBI Agent and our
Ministers. He was asking pretty good questions and
he had them by their balls.

I was really enjoying this he was a catch no lie.

Chocolate handsome strong man with the American
accent it's about time someone does something
about the justice system here..

Sihle: Hey Boss

They had cut to an ad break it was back to their

studio the newscrew discussing what has been
presented so far..
Sihle: I'm asking for a day off tomorrow

Me: Everything okay?

Sihle: Yes.. I'm just going to meet up with Ronell

Miller

Me: Ohw yes I forgot

Sihle: We meeting at Hatfield Pretoria

Me: That's nice.. Good luck girl

Sihle: Thank you.. I'm going to sign the contract

Me: Make that paper

Sihle: Can I go on lunch? I know it's still early but I
wanna get a few shades make sure my makeup is
good for tomorrow

Me: Ohh okay.. No problem

Sihle: Thank you

KIRS BOSCH
I loosened my tie as I watched the News. Suddenly I
felt hot a fucken FBI AGENT?

This is not good for us not good at all..

I have a company use it as a front for "Clean

money". I'm in logistics have a few trucks out on the
road. Sometimes we use those trucks to traffick the
girls and drugs for my Clients in Pretoria and
Johannesburg who deals drugs.. My phone rang I
picked up.
Me: Bosch

Khosa: It's Khosa

Khosa works like MG. He runs Kzn he has

orphanages too same way as MG..

Khosa: Are you watching the news?

Me: Ek kyk (I'm watching)

Khosa: This is not good for us

Me: We have nothing to be afraid of he's just asking

questions plus we have the Minister of Police in our
pay roll
Khosa: Questions that might be a problem for us
Bosch we run a wide operation. Girls go missing
every week by the rate we going it was obvious that
this was going to happen. That people would start
asking such questions I thought it was going to end
here in our country. How the hell is an FBI Agent
from Washington D.C involved in this?

Me: We not going to panick we have always had

people snooping around and we weren't found. This
is another typical example of a guy who is poking his
nose where it doesn't belong

Khosa: What are we going to do?

Me: Relax.. Menzi is going to handle this don't

panic! It's business as usual
I put the phone down..

THE MENDOZA

We were back..
Me: I can bring up all the open and cold cases but it
will take the whole day my question is.. What is the
law going to do about this?

Menzi: We appreciate your concern and please note

that we facing a lot of crimes such as heists which
are very prominent in our country too

Me: Why can't the SAPS have divisions? Put a

division to handle a certain crime and another one
to do so. Why aren't you making CIDs head human
trafficking too?
Menzi: As I've said we are faced with a lot of crime
in our country

Me: Understandable now I'm going to be here for a

while I'm asking to head the human trafficking drug
operation and sex trade. If it's that wide my division
will contact the secretary of defense in Washington
to deploy the army to come this side and help hell
dare we'll even bring the SWAT team if need be. All
I'm asking for is for the President to allow

Menzi: We have enough resources and authorities

that can handle our crime in our country we will
regroup divisions to handle certain crimes. We don't
need international correspondences to help

Me: Clearly you not doing a good job Mr President

the decision is yours

President: I agree and give full permission for our

international correspondences to give out a helping
hand

Menzi: Mr President!
The room started clapping..

VHUTSHILO BOSCH

I watched the news with my mouth wide open Kirs

must be going crazy wherever he is. I switched off
the TV and went to drink my antidepressants. After
that incident I haven't been able to sleep I get
nightmares. I'm a mess.. Kirs got a psychologist to
attend to me one that is on his payroll..

I drank the pills with a smile on my face this could

workout well for our country..

PEGGY KUNENE
I had just finished preparing dinner when I heard a
knock at the door..

Me: I'm coming!

I wiped my hands with the cloth and went to the

door..

Me: Who is it?

Mendoza: It's me
I unlocked and opened letting him in..

Me: What are you doing here?

Mendoza: I didn't know that I wasn't allowed to

stop by and check up on you

Me: You know what I mean

Mendoza: How are you?

Me: I'm good and you?

Mendoza: I'm good.. Where is Lu?

Me: He's not around

Mendoza: Work?

Me: Something like that

(Silence)

Me: I watched you on the news you a little famous

Mendoza: The reason why I'm here

Me: Ohw

Mendoza: Where is your phone?

Me: Why?

Mendoza: I need to do something

I took it out from my apron and unlocked it then
gave it to him..

He was on it for a while..

Mendoza: When you are in danger and can't really

make a call press the power button twice. Press it
fast like this.. Then in 3 seconds I will get an SOS
message that you in danger and the location you in

Me: Am I in danger?

Mendoza: I pissed off a few people today dangerous

people
Me: That you did

Mendoza: We went out for lunch after the press

conference and I happen to erupt a lot of things
including the corruption that's happening in this
country

Me: How is that related to what you wanna do?

Mendoza: Not relevant quite frankly that

information is of no use to me because I am not
here to change how the country operates in that
area it's not my field. I deliberately did that to find
out who is not for the team. These people they
wouldn't get away with this if they didn't have
someone in power and for me to find out who the
culprit is I needed to push a few buttons on
something that was irrelevant to the table and I did.
If I had done it the PI route it would've taken me
forever I had to do that stupid act to see who was
not sincere and I have my suspicions

Me: Everything was just too much do you know

what you doing?

Mendoza: I needed to get the message out to the

tracfikers through the meeting so they can know
that I'm watching I needed South Africa as my
witness

Me: Couldn't you have done this undercover?

Mendoza: No Peg because every case I would've

brought undercover was going to be tossed away
and become a cold case I needed to blast them so
they know that South Africa is watching. What I did
today they might not be able to touch me but they
will get to you to get to me.. Here

He gave me a little box..

Mendoza: Those are stud earrings they have a small

tracking device. Wear them everyday when you go
out I will always be alerted on your location never
forget.. Today I think I found out who is helping
these monsters from the high position now I need
to find the master mind behind this operation. I'm
not looking to solve every case I just need to put a
few away. Make them scared 3 of them serving as
an example will definitely shake all of them. The
best way to do that is to find the master mind and
bring him down. The team I'll be assigned with I will
know who is in it to spy. If I didn't do this today It
would've taken me forever to see that The minister
of Police has a hand in this he's involved. Now I will
use him to get to the master mind

I nodded...

Me: What about Mom?

Mendoza: Mom is useless to them you are the

target. You are young beautiful and exactly what
they need

Me: I might as well just move back in at home

Mendoza: Why?
Me: Things between Lu and I are not good
Mendoza: What happened?

Me: Just a lot

Mendoza: I might not like the dude that much but

he loves you whatever it is can't be bigger than
what you two already have going

Me: I am afraid it is

Mendoza: Has he hurt you?

Me: No.. Lu would never hurt me like that

Mendoza: Then I won't interfere I'll only interfere if
he has hurt you in that way. I have to give him the
respect of handling his relationship like a man and I
mean that with no form of violence involved

I nodded..
Me: Thank you for the earrings

Mendoza: Keep safe please at all times I'll try to get

you people to watch you

Me: I think the earrings are fine.. The SWAT team?

Mendoza: The SWAT team won't come but they

don't know that.. I'm alone in this Peg I really don't
care about the small fish. I want the master mind

Sponsored
 I get to him I bring this whole ship down. What I did
today was a divertion to cause chaos make them
think I'll be here and there make them deal with the
corruption thing and make evidence disappear
before I get there whilst in actual fact I'll be solely
focused on getting the big fish. What happened
today can make them put their operation on hold
for a while be scared of making a move because
they know I'll tail them should they slip up. South
Africa is watching this was actually my plea to the
public that they should put more pressure on them.
News outlets will want more answers ask more
questions corner them and when the media is too
much focused on them it makes it hard for them to
move freely whilst they still panicking I tail them
and. The girls will be safe for now if I nail this
bastard his whole operation will crumble his
accomplices will be scared
I nodded again repeatedly this time..
Me: Your ways of doing things are confusing but I
trust you I believe in you

Mendoza: That's why I need you to be safe first

thing in the morning buy a pepper spray and the
earrings must be always with you in your earlobes

Me: I promise

ZITHA MAGASELA
It was very quiet around the dinner table. My Father
seemed somewhat highly distracted tonight he
wasn't himself at all....

Rosi: You can cut the tension with the knife the
atmosphere is very depressing tonight

Me: Dad.. Did you watch the news today? About the
FBI Agent?

Dad: I did

Me: What do you think?

Dad: For an FBI he is very sloppy and way in over his
head. This is not something one should toy with it's
a dangerous world will live in in I feel like he has put
a lot of girls in danger

Rosi: I think he wouldn't have done that if he can't

back up his words

Me: I agree

Dad: You really think the SWAT team would come

down here for this? It's out of their juridistiction..
It's a stretch

Me: Countries are alliances and we are close

alliances with the US. If something is out of order
they can be allowed in our country to help out
remember the case with the farmers being brutally
killed? Former president Trump was ready deploy
the military this side should a war start
Dad: Trump did that because he's racist he was for
the idea of torturing Black People in South Africa

Me: Either way w-

Rosi: Okay enough with this talk! You guys will make
my head explode! Can we talk about something else
please? I'd even take talking about the weather
than this
Dad: It's fine.. I'm retiring to bed anyway..
Goodnight

He wiped his lips with the napkin and then walked

away..

Me: He was really moved by the topic

Rosi: He doesn't do well with politics

KIRS BOSCH

I was at home in my study on the phone with the

Minister of Police..

Minister: We can have him go back to his country

right away
Me: We can't do that if he suddenly leaves the
country whilst he has already made a promise to
fellow South Africans it will look bad and it won't be
good for your reputation too. It will prove that
indeed what he said is happening plus he has pillow
talked the President to be on his side
I hit the table..

Me: Dammit!!! He's good all this media coverage

and having the President on his corner he pulled
that stunt on purpose

Minister: I think we should go with plan B hit him

where it hurts the most

Me: I'm pretty sure he's going to have his family

well protected after this taking one will have the
whole country in turmoil. Leaving no stone
unturned in finding the victim

Minister: Our Partners are asking Questions they

are panicking

Me: Don't you think I know that? Give me a day or

two to think this out

Minister: Fine

Me: We might need to put a hold on getting girls we

might need to pause a bit for now until we done
with this guy.. We can't let him show us off in our
own country!

Minister: I'll hear from you

Me: Goodnight
Minister: Night

I took my glass of whiskey and drank the whole

whiskey in it then I threw the glass against the wall..

Me: Mooeerrrr!!!

Azelea: Papa

I closed my eyes and let out a breath. Tshilo sleeps

through the night now since she's heavy on
medication..
I turned around and wiped my face with my hands..

Me: My Engel (My Angel)

She was standing at the door holding her white
teddy bear..

Azelea: I can't sleep

Me: Wat is fout? (what is wrong)

Azelea: Monsters

I made my way to her and picked her up..

Me: I told you that there's no monsters that will get

to you Daddy won't let monsters get to you

Azelea: Mamma is not waking up

Me: Mamma is siek (Mommy is sick)

I walked to her bedroom to put her in bed.

SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)

The next morning I set out to Hatfield to meet up
with Ronell. The point of our meeting was going to
be at the Relish Bistro restaurant. I was excited and
nervous at the same time this is a good opportunity
that will see me venturing into doing something
that I love very much. Something that has been
close to my heart and the beauty of it is that I'm
getting paid for the gig make extra good cash. I also
like how Zitha allowed me to spread my wings like
this if it was another employer she would've
refused..

I got there and waited for her ordered myself a

drink and texted her that I'm already here. She
texted back and said she's on her way.

well done...

We shared a hug..

Ronell: Thank you for coming I'm sorry that I'm late

Me: It's okay I didn't wait for that long

She sat down and placed her channel bag on the

table followed by her Lamborghini car keys and
iPhone x. My temperature shoot up straight..
Me: I'm sorry for being forward Is this all from the
makeup line?

She smiled..

Ronell: I have a networth of 5 million dollars all

Me: Wow.. How did you do it?

Ronell: If you stick with me I'll show you. I own 3

stores. One here in hatfield another one in Sandton
and the last one in Cape Town. I cater to Elites and
very wealthy people. Now my brand has hit
overseas

Me: You really are successful

have a Man to depend on. He has to be richer than
me if he comes my way

Me: Wow

Ronell: Don't worry I'll show you everything after

eating. We can go check out my store around here

Me: I'd like that very much (Smiling)

The medication is really weighing down heavy on
me I woke up exhausted still. Drained and
energyless.. I took a bath after waking up and made
my way downstairs. Kirs was setting up the table for
breakfast a song was playing too but not too loud..

"I've had

Sponsored

my share of love
And some say I'm damn good

But if you think you can turn me out

Baby I wish that you would

'Cause you keep telling me this and telling me that

You say once I'm with you I'll never go back

You say there's a lesson that you want to teach

Well here I am baby practice what you preach"

He was in blue jeans a red t-shirt and red sneakers. I

stood there for a moment and looked at him.
Sometimes I ask myself if I really have this Man he's
handsome he dresses up well and he is very rich..

He ended up noticing me then he smiled.

Kirs: Good morning

Me: Morning

I walked up to him..

Me: Where is Azelea?

Kirs: At the mall

Me: Ohw ya Mall with friends I must've forgotten

He walked up to me his cologne was the one that
got to me first.. He held both my hands and came
closer the close contact made it seem like this man
has never abused me before. Like he is the sweetest
Husband in the world..

Kirs: I'm sorry

My heart sank he doesn't apologize. He has never

apologized..

Kirs: I'm sorry for everything especially what I've put

you through this past few days

Me: It's okay

Kirs: I love you so much and I hate it when things

aren't good between us
Me: I hate it too

Kirs: How about next week We go out for the

weekend. You Azelea and I

Me: I'd like that very much

Kirs: You would?

Me: Yes
He put his hand under my chin..

Kirs: Seriously would?

Me: Seriously would

He kissed me...

Me: I've never been inside a Lamborghini before

I strapped myself

Ronell: There's always a first time for everything

She started the car I took a picture and uploaded on

Facebook and Instagram. Even when I was at the
restaurant I had checked in on Facebook..
She started driving whilst playing music and I kept
on day dreaming. Dreaming of myself buying a car
and providing well for my family.. Indeed God works
in mysterious ways this is the start of something
beautiful. A big change in my life..

As we drove for a while we ended up in this quiet

area. It didn't look suspicious but it was an isolated
alley of some sort. She stopped the car I looked out
of the window..
Me: What is this place?

She kept quiet..

I turned and looked at her I was met by a pepper

spray on my face. The liquid shot through my eyes
nose and a bit in my mouth. I spat out and rubbed
my eyes..

Me: It's burning.. What are you doing?

Ronell: I'm really sorry but it's business

She held my arm really tight..

Me: What are you doing?

I felt a stinging sensation on my neck like she had

dabbed a syringe..

Me: Why are you doing this? (crying)

PEGGY KUNENE
I walked into the lounge and Lu was sitting on the
couch busy going through some documents. I had
my bag with me..

Me: Hey

He looked at me and then looked at the bag.

Me: Can we talk?

He smiled and looked down shaking his head

Lu: You leaving?

Me: Just going home for a weeks I need some
breather.. Space to clear my mind

He nodded repeatedly whilst biting his lower lip..

Lu: So it's over?

Me: No.. I just need a break that's all

Lu: It's okay.. I understand

I swallowed and fought back tears as I made my way

to the door..

The game was on we were sitting at the VIP section.

My Father was not around he had some business to
take care of. We were approximately 20min into the
game the score was still 0-0. Konwabo was sitting
next to me with her Brutal fruit. Not far from us sat
3 girls definitely Slay Queens. I wonder who came
with them which rich guy they dragged by the
trousers to get such seats.

The other one was busy screaming Iker's name. I am

not a jealous Person I know that a lot of girls do
throw themselves his way because of his status. So
they don't scare me just take them as groupies. Iker
doesn't really associate with groupies he values our
relationship a lot to cheat. He knows that if he could
cheat it'll be the end of us and possibly the end of
him. My Father is very protective over me and he
has warned him a few times before that if he ever
hurts me he will point the house that sells liquor.
Me: They so noisy

Nwabo: And the other one keeps on stealing

glances at you

Me: Which one?

Nwabo: The fakest of them all

Me: Ohw.. Such girls don't scare me I mean.. They
exchange sexual favours for money and a good life I
work for my own

Nwabo: I wonder what they go through to get that

paper

Me: I'd never degrade myself like that not me

Nwabo: Hmmmm your Man is really doing well

Me: Days of training without sex helped

Nwabo: After this you in trouble

Me: I don't mind the trouble it's a very nice and

enjoyable trouble
We both laughed..

Me: You are insanely sexually Fustrated

Nwabo: Girl please I have a dildo possibly bigger

than your Man's thing

Me: Girl please it's not the same though. No one

squeezing you kissing you breathing heavy in your
ear
Nwabo: Don't brag

Me: I'm just saying

I got up and clapped my hands chanting Iker's

name..
Me: Get them Baby!!!

I looked over and the other girl whispered

something to one of the girls they all looked at me
and laughed..
PEGGY KUNENE

I opened the door at home and made my way in..

Something was smelling nice my Mother was at the
kitchen..

Me: Mother

She looked at me..

Ma: You a bit early

She glanced down at my bag..

Ma: What happened?

Me: Long story

Ma: At least you still wearing his ring so it's not that
hectic

Me: I hope you don't mind me staying over

Ma: This is your home you can stay here for as long
as you want

Me: Thank you Ma

Ma: You know where your bedroom is

I nodded..
Me: Where is Mendoza?

Ma: He just went out to run a few errands

Me: Okay.. Let me settle in then I'll come and help

you

Ma: Okay Baby

SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)

I heard voices talking a male and a female.

I slowly opened my eyes to a room that I didn't

recognize. My vision was blurry for a few seconds
my head was hurting. I looked over and saw her she
was standing there with some gentleman talking..

I was still fuzzy and disoriented..

Man: Make the call

Ronell: You know the Boss doesn't like to be

disturbed
Sponsored

Weekends are for him and his family

Man: You brought her here so make the call

Ronell: Very well

Me: Wh..what is happening? Where am I?

They turned to me..

Me: Why are you doing this to me? What do you
want with me?

She made her way to me..

Me: Where am I?

She crouched and put her hand on my cheek.

Ronell: You replied to my DM

I shook my head with tears in my eyes..

Ronell: Shhhhhh.. It's too soon to cry save those

tears because you going to need them where you
going even the devil doesn't step foot
She wiped my tears..

Me: Please.. I have a family. A mother who is

dependent on me and siblings they can't lose me.
I'm all they have my Mother.. She's sick she has
problems with her heart if I turn up missing. She's
not going to survive

Ronell: I'm so sorry

I broke down..

Me: Please don't do this to me.. You are a woman

Ronell: Yes I am.. A woman who works with very

powerful people how else would I afford myself
such nice things?

Me: Please
Man: If you done call the boss
She got up and walked away..

Me: Please...

Ronell: Keep an eye on her

The gentleman walked up to me he also crouched in

front of me..

Man: You are so beautiful

He ran his finger on my cheek..

I turned my head and looked the other way crying..

Man: You really are beautiful

ZITHA MAGASELA

It was halftime now and I couldn't hold myself

anymore. These girls have been sitting there busy
gossiping about me who the hell do they think they
are?..
Me: I'm coming

Nwabo: Where are you going?

Me: I'll be right back

I walked up to them stood there with my hands

buried in my pockets. I was wearing a green
jumpsuit and green heels..

Me: Ladies

They all looked at me I faked a smile..

Me: How are you Ladies?

They looked at each other and then looked at me. I
pointed the one who was busy stealing glances at
me..

Me: May I please have a word with you?

Her: Err.. Uhm.. Okay why not

She got up and pulled her short tight dress down.

Then I took the lead as she followed me.. I found a
small quiet area at the back to talk to her...

We sat down..
Me: Do we know each other?
She fixed her wig..

Her: I don't think so

Me: So why would you gossip about me to your

friends if we don't know each other?

She smiled..

Her: What makes you think that we were gossiping

about you?

Me: Child please.. I am not a fool

Her: We weren't gossiping about you I mean why

would we? You not that important in our lives
Me: What did you say your name was again?

Her: I never told you my name

Me: I am Zitha.. Zitha Magasela

Her: I know who you are the MG's Daughter

Me: My father practically owns the section you

sitting at

Her: Good for him

Me: So next time you come for my life come correct

or I'll have you escorted out and given your ticket
money back

She laughed..
Her: My name is April.. Don't forget it because we
will cross paths again

Me: Sorry?

Her: It was nice knowing you

She got up and fixed her dress again..

Her: Zitha Magasela

She then walked away. I looked at her phat ass

filling up that dress as she walked away from me.. I
shook my head whilst laughing.
KIRS BOSCH

Since Tshilo wasn't feeling so well we opted to stay

indoors and watch TV. We were watching a chick
flick her old time favorite. "The other woman". She
had her legs on me my hand rested on her thighs..

My phone vibrated in my pocket I took it out.

It was a call from Ronell.. I looked at Vhutshilo her
eyes were glued on the screen.

Me: Liefie

She looked at me..

Me: I'm sorry I have to take this

She got her legs off me. I got up from the couch and
kissed her on her forehead then made my way to
the kitchen to answer the call..

Me: Ronell
Ronell: Boss

Me: It's Saturday

Ronell: I know... I have a girl the girl you told me

about

ZITHA MAGASELA After the match we set out to
celebrate at some club. Just Me Konwabo Iker and
Scar.

They played a really good game but the score was a

draw [1-1]. I feel like they would've done better
somehow Iker wasn't at his level best today. I
expected him to bring out his all but it is what it is..
It was exactly at 18:00 we were in the VIP lounge. It
was a bit far from the general area and I liked it that
way. No crowd and unnecessary people making
noise and bothering us..

I was sitting next to Iker with my leg on him..

I pulled him closer for a kiss by his chin..

Me: You did well today but you weren't your best in
the field

Iker: I know.. Just that the training had exhausted

me
Me: I'm just glad that they didn't win

Iker: But deep inside you were happy because that's

your old team

I chuckled..

Me: That's not true

Iker: It's not?

Me: No

He kissed me..

Nwabo: Do you two need a room perhaps?

We looked at them..

Iker: Two Singles sitting next to each other you

should be talking about something

Nwabo: Well.. Can we all talk about a conversation

that includes us all

Me: Yeah.. Sure

The most unexpected thing happened. The Plastics
made their way to our section..
April was leading the walk..

Me: And now?

April: Good evening.. We paid for a VIP section and

all of them are full except for this one

I chuckled and shook my head..

They came and sat down with April sitting next to

Iker. This was a nightmare..
April: Iker right?

Iker: Uhm yes

April: Nice game

Iker: I think I could've given my best

April: But you did though don't sell yourself short it

could've gotten worse

Iker: I agree

April: April.. My name is April

Iker: Again I'm Iker and this is my beautiful girlfriend
Zitha
April: Ohw we've met already

Iker: You did?

April: Yes but it's a long story

Iker: I see

April and I looked at each other....

SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)

This wasn't happening. I mean I read about such
things and I never thought it would happen to me. I
could've seen it coming how could I be stupid? This
was a stupid move.

Ronell had left bitch literally bid me goodbye and

told me that she will see me tomorrow.

I was still sitted at the corner of the bedroom that I

was put in hands and legs tied. I've cried until my
eyes dried up until I had no tears anymore but a
banging headache.
The room wasn't dirty it was actually clean. Had a
bed a wardrobe and a chair..

The door unlocked and opened the gentleman

made his way in..

He glanced at me..
Him: You can sit there all you want but your fate is
not going to change crying and feeling sorry for
yourself won't help because your fate is not going
to change

Me: Please don't do this to me

Him: If I got a million for every girl that said that I

would be rich by now

I kept quiet..
Me: Come.. You have to bath and eat

I looked at him..

Him: Let me tell you something. There's no escaping

Sponsored

the doors are locked. The keys are were you will
never find them. There's guards outside so there's
no breaking free. You can scream all you want
ontop of your lungs and no one is going to help you.
So do both myself and yourself a favour by being
obidient

He walked closer and I got really scared.

He crouched and grabbed both my hands he took

out his pocket knife and cut off the zip ties from my
wrists then my legs..

He stood up and stretched his hand..

Him: I'm trained to kill too so don't try anything

stupid because the knife might end up accidentally
slitting your throat. Then you will be buried in a
shallow grave like a dog and your family will never
ever see you again

I stretched out my hand to him that was trembling

really bad. He pulled me up..

Him: Good girl!

VHUTSHILO BOSCH

Kirs is not a Person who would want to sit indoors

and do nothing. Usually when he's indoors he's in
his study catching up on some work. Most of the
time on weekends. We are out getting some fresh
air. Since I wasn't myself he stayed with me and we
watched movies. My favorite movies..

We were down to 4 movies now and the romantic

sexual scenes weren't making it easier for us
especially since my leg was on him.. The couch we
were sitting on is in two ways. You press a button
and it expands to almost a flat bed mattress. So
basically it wasn't different from watching TV in the
bedroom.. His hand on my thigh ended up making
it's way under my bikini and one thing led to
another. Before I knew it the movie was watching
us..

He was laid back with his head on the cushion my

leg across him and he had a firm grasp on my left
buttock. He was deep inside of me and his hand
would press and shake my thigh against him as I
was the one who was mostly doing all the work. Kirs
likes it when my ass is ass is shaking against him.
My tongue and his tongue were pinning against
each other then we would move to them dancing
around in each other's mouths.

He spanked me a few times whilst running his

tongue on my neck on sucking on there too. My
fingers moving in his soft hair..

The wetness of my coochie didn't hold back in

making sounds turning him on more and making me
more vulnerable...
We had to change positions since my leg was tired. I
knelt and placed my hands on the top part of the
couch as he took it doggy style. He inserted himself
in deeply I lost my breath for a second. He wrapped
his arm around my neck still deep inside pulled my
head back then started banging me hard..

His firm grip around my neck made it difficult for me

to even scream..

ZITHA MAGASELA
I didn't like how this April of a bitch was throwing
herself at my man.. She was all over him placing her
hand on his shoulder and what not. I tried to keep
calm but now it was ticking me off...

Me: Exactly what are you doing here?

April: Sorry?

Me: You that thirsty?

April: You are so full of yourself

Me: Says a bitch who is busy throwing herself at my
Man! Bitch what do you want?

April: You are so full of yourself! No wonder why

your Man is so miserable!

I took my glass from the table and threw it at her

face..

April: Bitch!!!

She got up I got up too..

Iker: Ladies!
April: You so high and mighty your boyfriend is the
one who invited me to come! Saying he's going to
be bored with you!

Me: What?

April: Here I'll show you

She took out her cellphone from her bag and got
the whatsapp message she gave me her phone and I
checked. Indeed it was a whatsapp message from
Iker I saw from the profile picture..

April: Go up and see the pregnancy test I sent him!

I'm also pregnant by him!
My heart sank..

Nwabo: Wow!

I looked at Iker..

Me: Is it true?

He exhaled..

Iker: I was going to break it off with you tonight.. I'm

sorry Zitha

April: Who's the joke now bitch?

I put her phone in the ice bucket..

April: Very mature!

I took my bag and walked away..

Nwabo: I guess it's time to go

ZITHA MAGASELA
To say I was heartbroken would be an
understatement. Iker didn't break my heart he
smashed it with a hammer. Until bits and pieces of
it were scattered on the ground.

I realized tonight how much I love that fool the

heartbreak disturbed my breathing..

I got home and rushed to my bedroom with Nwabo

running after me. I passed my Father and Rosi in the
lounge watching TV..

Nwabo: Zee wait!

I was looking down all the time tears falling without
even trying hard. That's how broken I was. I still
don't understand how love can hurt so much why
we have to be hurt by the ones who are meant to
love us the most.

Dad: What happened? What's going on?

Nwabo: She.. It's.. It's Iker

Dad: What did he do?

Nwabo: He.. I think it's best you ask Zee

Dad: Obviously she's distraught. So I am asking you!

Nwabo: Iker.. It's a really complicated issue Mr MG

Dad: Princess what's wrong?

I got into my room and shut the door in their faces

locking it too so they don't come in uninvited..I sank
down to the floor with my back against the wall. I
broke down my throat closed up. Hiccups followed..

My heart was shattered... They banged on the

door..

Dad: Zitha open what's wrong? Talk to me Princess

It felt unreal felt like a movie that kept on playing in
my head. I imagined her and proudly saying that
rubbing it on me. It was an embarrassment too a
serious one...

SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)

This Man was present in the bathroom as I was

forced by him to take a bath. He even had a foam
bath to clearly indicate that he has had a lot of
females in here. He has all the necessities that a
woman would need.
I wasn't sitting down I was standing in the middle of
the bathtub. He moved the soapy sponge from my
legs to my thighs then rubbed it against my tummy
in circles and finally proceeding to my breast.
Rolling it around in circles.. Fear crippled me my
feet frozen in the lukewarm water that suddenly
felt cold. I was trembling and very scared at what
was obviously going to happen to me.

I kept my eyes away from him closing them or

staring up at the ceiling. I didn't want the picture of
his face stuck in my mind..
He dropped the sponge in the water and ran his
hands up my thigh ran them up and down and also
in between them. My silent cry wasn't so silent
anymore that's how scared I was..

Still rubbing or rather massaging my thigh he stuck

his lips on my nipple..

Me: Ohh my God.. Please don't let this happen to

me (crying)

He forced through his finger deep inside of me this

was happening. He was going to violate me sexually.
I felt no pleasure nothing about what he was doing
turned me on. I felt disgusted disgusted with him
taking over my body like that and leaving a long life
trail of scars that will never go away. Nightmares
that will haunt me at night when I close my eyes for
the rest of my life. I found the strength in me to
glance down at what he was doing his tongue was
stuck out and tickling my nipple. I closed my eyes
and bit my lower lip hard. He moved the other hand
to my backside and grabbed on to my buttock. At
first he squeezed it spanked it a bit and then shook
it..

He stopped tickling my nipple with his tongue and

sucked it I shook my head with the painful sobs
arising from a slowly breaking spirit..
PEGGY KUNENE

After dinner I played my Mother and my Brother my

song "Peggy's gone to Memphis"

The music session was motivated by me finding my

old guitar in my room..
Me: "Sand prints from that place

She didn't wanna go..

Trying to find a better place

Taking heart into a song..

Peggy's gone to Memphis

To try another home

Peggy needs some paper

But Peggy's outta luck.. "

I looked at them as they clapped their hands.

Mendoza: What inspired the song?

Me: My first time when I visited the states and you

were still living in Memphis I thought it was going to
be my new home..

Mendoza: I remember that.. Wow! It's when you

had that fight with Mom's and you didn't wanna
come back to SA

Me: That's what inspired the song

Mom: I don't know how to feel about this it's a nice
piece but I didn't know that you were seeking a new
home in Memphis

Me: It was a long time ago I was young

The monitor went off..

Mendoza: I'll check

He got up and went to check..

Me: It's not personal Ma

Mom: I'm not mad I'm glad you find inspiration

even from painful situations
Me: That's true

Mom: Music is your life and your soul

The Mendoza came back..

Mom: Who was that?

Mendoza: It's Lu
Me: What?

Mendoza: He sounds drunk can't let him drive back

I exhaled in Fustration and put my guitar down..

KIRS BOSCH

The girls were in the bedroom. Azelea was busy

playing dress up and they were doing makeup
whilst they kept busy. I kept myself busy too by
doing a little research on this Mendoza..
He was not on Facebook his Twitter account was
not interesting. He mostly posted about work staff
but not revealing the confidential part of the cases.
His old tweets were about Trump his hate against
him. Even the people who were commenting no
one gave a hint of being close to him. His Instagram
was private..

Me: Come on.. There has to be something give me

something

He did give out that he has a Sister but didn't really

name her..
I laid back on the chair and took my phone I called
one of my people..

Las: Sir

Me: Go to Instagram and follow "The Mendoza" The

FBI Agent and find me his sister

Las: Yes Sir!

Me: I'll be expecting a name in the morning

Las: Very well Sir

SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)

He took the shower tap and washed off the foam

from my body. He had an erection I could tell. He
picked me up and got me out of the bath still wet as
I was and walked with me to the bedroom. He
threw me on the bed and started undressing. I
lowered my hands to cover my coochie tears were
still falling.

My breathing had changed fear was completely

taking over by now.. These people seem to be
dangerous and trying something stupid might land
me in more trouble. What's the use of doing that?
He is well protected. I am not getting out of here
even if I could try to escape.. He was totally naked
with his thing fully erected. The sight of it made my
stomach curl. Knowing it will break my sanity and
fuck up my mental state

I have never been sexually violated before this was

going to be my first time. He got on the bed lifted
my legs up to my knees and parted them. He tried
to move my hands but I pressed harder them down
there..

Me: Please don't do this.. Don't do this to me

(crying)
Him: Either you co-operate or we will have to do
this the hardway

He wasn't even going to use a condom how many

girls has he done this too? My life is over. I'll never
be the same again..

He finally moved my hands from my coochie and

lowered his head down there. He muffed me and I
cried out loud. How is he doing this? How is he
pulling this off with my sobs? How do you violate
someone who is crying?
What kind of a monster are you to achieve that kind
of coldness?.. He moved his head and got straight
up. He grabbed his shaft and brought it closer then
placed it at the entrance..

Me: God no....(crying)

He forced his way in halfway through and got stuck

the more he pressed on the more I cried.. He took it
out and spat on my coochie at the entrance. Then
he forced his way in..

Me: ouuchh... (crying)

He groaned as he fully occupied me inside I lifted
myself up and bit and tried to push him off. He
pushed me back with force and held my hands
pressing them against my tummy.

He was in by now and I didn't know that sex could

be this painful. He pumped in and out slowly at
first..

Him: Ohhhhhh.. When was the last time you got

fucked?
I faced the other way as he continued..

Him: Ohhh yes baby

He increased his pace and tears kept on filling my

eyes the only view I had was the chair that I was
looking at..

He freed my hand and placed his hand free hand

against my throat. He turned me to face him and he
strangled me whilst pumping me for dear life. I
struggled to breath My tears were blurring his face.
When he saw that I was at the point of passing out
he let go. I coughed with tears streaming sideways.
He moved his hand and hit my thigh hard..

Him: Come on baby you should be happy.. You

really nice!!

He leaned forward and forced his tongue in my

mouth I faced the other way again. He got his hand
back on my throat and turned me to look at him..

Him: Look at me.. Look at what you doing to Daddy

Me: Please stop (crying)

Him: You are going to make me come sooner than I

want

Me: Why me? Why me God?

He got back straight up again still inside of me and

took the small pillow. He placed it against my face
and pressed down hard.

He groaned loudly. I placed my hands on his arms

scratching him off. He was bloody strong!!

ZITHA MAGASELA

I started my day this morning feeling all kinds of

emotional. I was still heartbroken by the
embarrassment and hurt that Iker brought my way
last night.. I had to sleep through a bottle of wine
sneaking it to my bedroom after My father and
Nwabo stopped banging at my door.. I didn't wanna
wake up today but I had to perform the tradions of
this morning. Brushing my teeth bathing and eating.
Couldn't stay in my room forever.

I have all in me to destroy Iker but after a lot of

thinking I won't. I'll let him destroy himself and his
career with the drugs. I have been embarrassed
enough and I won't give him the pleasure of seeing
me broken for him. He doesn't deserve to see that
vulnerable side of me and as for this April girl. She is
clearly money driven I doubt their relationship will
even make it..
After bathing I made my way downstairs to eat
cereal before taking my pain killers for my
headache. I was alone in the kitchen and I went on
Facebook. Saw Sihle's post for yesterday she had
checked in at some restaurant in hatfield. I liked.
Then I went on whatsapp to check her her last seen
was in the morning. Around 11:00am. I sent her a
text:

"How did it go?"

It had one tick. That's unusual Sihle's whatsapp

always goes through...
My father walked in..

Dad: Nwabo arrived home safe I drove her home

with Rosi

Me: Thank you

Dad: Wanna talk about it?

Me: Iker cheated and got a girl pregnant

It was better telling him now because he clearly

wasn't going to give up asking...
Dad: What?

Me: And I would like you not to act out of character

in this situation. Iker won't be the only guy who will
break my heart so I don't want you going after
every guy

Dad: I can't just let him be

Me: Don't Dad.. He has a kid coming he needs his

career to take care of his child let's not punish an
innocent baby for his/her father's sins

He nodded..

Dad: When did you get so mature about situations?

Me: It's not worth it he's not worth it

Dad: That's true

I don't usually wallow for that long and depress

myself about things I cannot change. I cry when it
happens and get over it. What's the use of crying
about something that cannot change? It's not like
tomorrow she'll be unpregnant..

IKER
I pulled the chair closer to the small coffee table to
do coke.. It relaxes me not forgetting that I have
become addicted to it.

April walked in wearing my gown..

April: Morning

I kept quiet for a few minutes..

April: Babe?

Me: What you did last night you shouldn't have

done it

April: We can't hide a pregnancy she was bound to

find out

Me: I was going to tell her

April: When? I don't understand you weren't happy

with her anymore I did you a favour

Me: It was not your place!

April: Iker!
Me: Do you know that my job is on the line? His Dad
can have me removed from the team

April: He will if he's stupid! You are the best player

they have.. And if she wants to play that card we
will blast her on Twitter! Put the bitch in her place
get her off her high horse!

Me: Are you listening to me? Do you know what you

have done?

April: You were never going to break it off with her

right? If I didn't say anything you weren't going to
do it
Me: I need some space can't you go and do
shopping?

April: This is just absurd!

SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)

I slept naked at the corner of the room. Couldn't

sleep on that bed after what happened last night.
All I kept on seeing was the scenario of what took
place last night. I kept on seeing his face his groan
kept on ringing in my ear.
The way he forced his tongue deep in my mouth I
don't know how many times I spat. I felt disgusted
his sweat was still on my body. I felt like he was
under my skin I wanted to get something. Reap
open my coochie and damage it because this organ
has done nothing but brought me unintended pain.
It's my fault I was stupid.

Stupid to ever think what Ronell pitched in my DM

was real. I am stupid maybe I deserve this because
of my stupidity!

The door unlocked and opened. I didn't even check

who it was my focus was on the bed.
I heard the sound of heels..

Ronell: And now?

Guy: I don't know

Ronell: At least there's no scar on her nor bruise

Guy: She was very obidient

Ronell: Let's get her clean and then I'll drive down
to Cape Town with her
Guy: Will you pull it off?

Ronell: It's not my first time doing this are the

sedatives enough?

Guy: Yes

Ronell: Good! Help me get her clean

Guy: Okay

VHUTSHILO BOSCH
Kirs allowed me to go back to the Flats

are the sedatives enough?

Guy: Yes

Ronell: Good! Help me get her clean Guy: Okay

VHUTSHILO BOSCH

Kirs allowed me to go back to the Flats only if I

behave.. This is the only place where I get peace
where I get fresh air. I'm not going to ruin it again..

I have made friends with two girls. Asavela and

Thato. Asavela is 16 and Thato is 21.
They share a flat well behaved. Follow instructions
and don't cause trouble. They should be like that
because they were young when they got here. Asa
was 13 and Thato was 15. Thato is fussy she has an
attitude for days but she makes sure that it doesn't
get her in trouble. They both from the orphanage
and they seem to have accepted their fate....

I was doing Asa's hair. Hairdrying it..

Me: Your hair is getting long

Asa: All because of you

I smiled..

Me: Don't even mention it

I put off the dryer and continued to comb her hair..

Me: Who are you going too tonight?

Asa: Two Men it's a 3 some

I swallowed..

Me: How do you feel about that?

She shrugged her shoulders..

Asa: If I pull it off I will be taken to the mall for a
shopping spree

She was excited about something that is a basic for

everyone. A freedom that girls have going to the
mall even if it's doing window shopping....

Me: For how long will they have you for?

Asa: The whole night

I sighed..

Thato: That's nothing I had 4 guys all at once

Me: 4?

Thato: One inserts it in your coochie one in your

anus you give one a blow job and the other one a
handjob

Me: They all sleep with you?

They looked at each other and laughed..

Thato: Of course each one has to put it in a hole
busy switching until they all cum

I nodded..

Maybe just maybe I'm the lucky one. If Kirs never

took me I would be here. Doing this or far away in
Singapore..

Thato: I'm starting to enjoy it I'm addicted

Me: Really?
Thato: Sex almost everyday you end up getting used
to it. Get addicted to it we live for dicks here.
What's the point of fighting your everyday life?

Asa: I now even squirt!

Thato: Hey now!

It was heartbreaking listening to these girls talking

about sexual abuse as if like it's normal. What is Kirs
doing to these girls? Did he break them to that
point? Brainwash them to that point? My heart
sank but I kept my cool. I don't want the repeat of
last time I have a Daughter that I don't wanna
separate from..
SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)

This time around I was sitting in the bathtub as

Ronell bathe me..

Ronell: I included bathing salts it will help with the

soreness that you might have because of last night I
remained quiet..
Ronell: You did well... Look at this way if you keep
on obeying and do exactly what you are told to do
you will be one of the favorites. You will end being
allowed to go overseas under strict supervision get
gifts be treated better. All the other girls will be
jealous

I leaned forward as she ran the sponge on my back..

I looked at her..

Me: Does that sound normal to you?

Ronell: Let's not start with the 3rd degree speech

Me: You are a woman! You should be helping put

these monsters away not helping them hurt girls!
Innocent girls!. Have you no conscience? Do you
have kids? Don't you have sisters? Female cousins?
What if the same fate falls on them? How does a
woman do this to another women? Be another
woman's downfall? We should be standing together
in fighting these monsters not helping them by
turning against our own. We the only ones we have
in this cruel world! Then you go and do this?

Ronell: I think.. I think we done here..

She got up..

Ronell: We done here

Me: How do you think this is going to turn out for
you? Have you asked yourself what's going to
happen if they find a replacement for you?

Ronell: We definitely done! Uhm Sondezo!

Sondezo!!.. We done here!

VHUTSHILO BOSCH
Asa: Okay I'm ready

Thato: Come out already!

She walked out in a black&red lingerie with black

heels.

Thato: Wow!

Asa: How do I look?

Thato: Turn around?

She turned around the lingerie was a g-string at the
back. All her ass out...

Thato: Shake your ass let's see

She shook her ass...

Asa is a thick chubby girl with how her life is now.

You wouldn't even tell that she's just 16. Big boobs
thick ass big thighs..
Thato: See the tummy belt helped

Asa: It helped a lot

Thato: They going to lose their minds!

I looked at her just imagining what those men

would do to her. With every sexual act a piece of
her gets taken away. A piece of her that she will
never get back..

ZITHA MAGASELA

Iker hit me up and asked to talk to me That was

quick and I had it all in me to say "No"
But I really wanna know what he's going to say
about this. Just wanna put this to a final end.. I was
hurt I won't lie but I won't give him the satisfaction
of seeing me hurt because of him. There wasn't
anything that I was benefiting from Iker other than
the love and I expected the Loyalty too..

Later on I drove down to our usual restaurant to

meet up with him made sure I dress up to show him
that life will still continue after him. I won't wait
around crying and banging my head against the wall
wallowing about the "Why". Life goes on.
He was there when I walked in he stood up and
looked at me. I pulled the chair and sat down he sat
down too. I took off my glasses..

Iker: Hi

Me: Hey

Iker: You look beautiful

Me: Thank you

He looked at his hands that were rested on the

table..
Iker: Zee I'm sorry

Me: I just want to know why you didn't become

honest with me that you no longer happy with me
and that you found someone else?

Iker: I don't know.. Guess I was scared

Me: Could've saved me all the embarrassment for

last night

Iker: I know.. I'm sorry that you had to find out that
way

Me: For my own amusement why? Why did you

cheat?
He shrugged his shoulders..

Iker: Our relationship was good at first but along the

way.. I wasn't happy anymore. It wasn't the same
Me: Do you love her?

He slowly nodded..

My heart sank...

Me: Thank you for your honesty I wish you nothing

but the best

Iker: So Daddy is not going to come after me?

Me: Ohh so this is what you called me for? That my
Dad might ruin you?

Iker: I'm just asking

Me: Rest assured you have the wrong idea of me. I
am not going to ruin your career just because you
couldn't be honest with me and decided to cheat

Iker: Thank you

Me: Is that all?

Iker: You very beautiful I'm sure you'll find someone

else

Me: Yes.. Maybe

I got up and took my bag together with my glasses..

Me: Bye Iker

Iker: Bye Zee

I walked out..

PEGGY KUNENE
I knocked..

Lu: Come in

I opened and walked in..

I opened the door and walked in..

He rose his head from the pillow and sat up

straight..

Lu: I'm sorry about this

Me: No it's okay

I walked up to him and sat on the bed..

Lu: I shouldn't have came here

Me: It's okay.. Don't worry about it

(Silent)

Me: Lu.. I don't think this is going to work for us

He looked at me..
Lu: You breaking up with me?

Me: I.. It's not going to work I'm sorry

I took off my ring..

Lu: Peg you can't do this

Me: It's not about what you did but it's about you
not trusting me. So much that you would think my
love for you is based on a flashy expensive wedding
than me walking down the aisle even with a bathing
robe happy that I'm going to marry the love of my
life

Lu: You right I should've spoken to you

Me: Now you went and ruined your life do you
know how hard it is to find a job around here? In my
future there's no plan of me settling down with an
unemployed man. My job is not paying enough my
Gigs. I can't pay rent feed both of us and possibly
feed your family too

Lu: I never said you should

Me: I just don't trust you anymore. Stealing? What

else are you capable of? I'm sorry Lu

I placed the ring on his hand..

Me: I'm truly sorry about this
He nodded..

Lu: I'll get up and get dressed then leave

I got up and walked to the door...

Lu: Are you seeing someone else?

Me: Sorry?

Lu: You not even prepared to fight for us after

everything. Everything I've done for you? I make
one careless mistake and you dump me..
Remember Peg you once cheated and I forgave you
but you.. You are ready to leave

Me: You forgave me because you wanted too you

stayed because you wanted too. Don't expect me to
do the same

I walked out..
KIRS BOSCH

I received a call from Las..

Me: Talk to me

Las: I couldn't crack in his insta but I did find

something interesting on Facebook

Me: Yes

Las: There's this guy "Lungelo Mbatha" he's in a

relationship with Peggy Kunene
Sponsored

I went and checked her on insta. She had uploaded

a picture of herself and her Brother the Mendoza.
There's more than one picture of them

I hit the table..

Me: Send me the link to her insta

Las: Yes Sir.. I think it will be easy to get her

Me: Talk to me

Las: The guy posted some hurtful posts last night I

think they have broken up. She broke up with him

Me: The Pain of being dumped when you still love

the Person

Las: I'll send you all the info

Me: Please do

Las: Coming right up!

It was like I've just hit the jackpot..

RONELL

I glanced at her in the Passenger's seat. She was still

sleeping. No one would ever know about this they'll
just think that she's passed out. I even put empty
bottles of alcohol at her feet to make it seem like
she drank a lot and passed out..

It's definitely going to take time to get to Cape

Town flying is more dangerous. I'll make a stop
halfway for rest at one of our trusted alliances then
proceed with our journey...
When Sihle said those things it took me back. I
glanced at my wedding ring. The man I'm settled
with was the man I was sold too a long time ago. I'm
32 years old and when I was 22. I was a victim of the
online job seeking same way I got Sihle. I was mad
over heels with makeup I remember I was doing my
last year in Varsity at UJ. Some woman sent me a
DM then I jumped on it about me being a brand
ambassador of her makeup line. That's how I got
kidnapped.
I was sold to a ruthless rich Man who put me
through all kinds of hell. When I started to
cooperate that's when things got better for me. We
have 2 kids a boy and a girl..

When I went missing my family searched for me.

When I went back to them I already had a child. And
this Man made it seem like he was the one who
rescued me to my family. If I came out straight my
Sisters were going to be taken and sold including my
Mother. Not to mention my Daughter as she's the
first born. Had to accept my new life just to protect
the ones I love...
I wish Sihle can get there and co-operate at first it's
going to be difficult but if she co-operates life will
be better for her...

VHUTSHILO BOSCH

I looked at Asa as two guards came to get her. She

had a bag with her and she seemed excited. All
because there could be benefits if she does her job
well tonight..
Asa: I'll see you guys tomorrow

I faked a smile..

Thato: Go get them! Remember the tutorials I

showed you? Practicing a BJ with a Banana? A
better BJ?
Asa: I remember

Thato: Then don't disappoint

Asa: I won't.. Tshilo thank you for doing my hair

Me: Anytime

Guard 1: Let's go
They walked out..

Thato: She's going to do well I believe in her

Me: I have to go home it's getting late

Thato: I'll see you tomorrow

Me: Tomorrow girl

I went to get my bag so I could leave..

ZITHA MAGASELA

I was back at home watching TV with a bottle of

wine. I was on social media..

I checked Ronell's page it was non-existent.

That's strange. I went to search Sihle's Instagram

and she hasn't uploaded anything today even on
whatsapp it was still 1 tick.
That's unusual maybe she was partying last night or
something. Got home late and slept.

It's 18:30 now she should be awake. Guess I'll see

her tomorrow at work..

[A WEEK LATER]

It was made clear to me that Sihle was missing. She

didn't show up to work her sister Fortunate
contacted me and came to my Studio this morning.
She has been missing since from Saturday when she
went to meet up with this Ronell woman.. I couldn't
find Ronell anywhere on social media anymore she
was extinct..
As soon as Fortunate arrived we drove straight to
the police station. Where The Mendoza was said to
be working and leading missing cases. We walked
up straight to the counter..

Me: Good morning

Officer: Good morning

Me: We are here for Agent Mendoza

Officer: With regards?

Me: A Missing Person's case

Officer: Let me have a look

Me: We would like to speak with the Agent himself

since he is the one heading the cases

Officer: He is busy right now

Me: We don't mind waiting

Officer: Would you like some tea whilst you at it?

(Sarcasm)

Me: We fine thank you

Officer: Are you sure?

Me: Yes.. Thank you

We went to the bench and sat down.. Sihle has

been missing for almost a week now it's best we
speak to The Mendoza because I'm certain she was
abducted. We might give someone else the case
and they might not do it any justice...

LUNGELO

I was shocked to get a lunch request from the MG.

Philani Magasela. He is a bit of a famous Person
with him owning the Tigers soccer team which is
doing very well currently...

I went and met up with him...

It was really him..

Me: Good morning

He got up from his chair and we exchanged a
handshake..
MG: Thank you for showing up

I sat across him..

Me: I'm confused how did you even get my

number?

MG: I'm a well connected person

Me: I am also confused as to what I'm doing here

MG: If I'm right you are an accountant?

Me: Was

MG: What happened?

Me: Long story

MG: I called you here for that purpose I need an
accountant

I looked at him...

MG: Someone to handle my finances you can work

at your place and we will meet occasionally

Me: Why me?

MG: I believe you are good at what you do

Me: I was forced to resign because I stole some
money from the last company I worked for I am
sure you know about that. I'm assuming you did a
background check on me

MG: I am sure you've learned your lesson

Me: Are you sure that you can trust me?

MG: Can I?

I thought for a while..

Me: Yes I believe so

MG: I will pay you 14k a month I know it's not much
but..
Me: No it's okay.. Thank you

MG: We can meet up tomorrow again today I'll

draw up the contract then you can come with your
CV and banking details. Read the contract and if you
happy you can sign
Me: Thank you.. Thank you for the opportunity Sir

MG: You welcome

SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)

I was in Pain a lot of pain and bruised. My body was

aching and I had a terrible headache because last
night he hit me with a vase across my face..
I was said to be in Cape Town don't know how I got
here. The last time I remember I was in Gauteng
and Sondezi's house..

I was sold to a Nigerian Man by the name of Rich

and my stay here has been gruesome.

I arrived here 3 days ago and since from then he has

sexually violated me in the most dispicable way.
Even had Anal with me.
Last night I didn't feel like having sex so he beat me
up to the point of passing out. That's why today I'm
feeling this way..

These people are a lot they have power and I have

no faith that I'll be found. Seems like I'll be stuck
here until this Man finally kills me.

Sondezo violated me yes but he never mishandled

me. This one on the other hand he doesn't care at
all. He is less merciful.

I stay in a different room or rather locked up there.

He only comes in when he wants to have sex with
me or when food is brought to me.. He is much
stronger very buffed. I am just an insect to him he
can squash me anytime. He seems like he could be
in his 40s and well financial stable. His house isn't
that big but it's beautiful...

My leg was chained to the corner of the bed I was

naked. The chain doesn't take me far I don't even
reach the door. I sleep with it it's always around my
ankle unless I am taken to the bathroom...

I heard a soft knock definitely wasn't Rich.

The door unlocked and a lady walked in.

Her: Good morning my Name is Beauty and I will be
assisting you today. I am Mr Rich's housekeeper

Me: Where is Rich?

Beauty: He went out to run some errands

Me: Okay

This place is secure guards outside and pitbulls.

Each guard has a gun and a pitbull dog. I won't be
able to escape even if I tried.. She walked over to
me..

Beauty: There's a guard in the house guards outside

and pitbulls. Each guard has a gun and a pitbull dog.
I won't be able to escape even if I tried.. She walked
over to me..

Beauty: There's a guard in the house he has a gun

incase you do anything stupid

I kept quiet..

She knelt down and unlocked the pad that held the
chain together and got it off me..

Beauty: I'll be gentle so that I don't cause you pain

She helped me up I clenched my Jaws together and
bit hard. I was in serious pain..

Beauty: Take it easy walk slow

I limped out of the bedroom whilst putting pressure

on her hands for balance..
Beauty: There you go we almost there

We walked to the bathroom...

KIRS BOSCH (GUSTAVO)

I Received a call from MG..

Me: Yes?

MG: It is done he took the bait

Me: He did?

MG: Yes

Me: Good

MG: I'll keep you informed

Me: Very well

MG: Bye

Me: Just one more thing

MG: Yes?

Me: A girl was brought over a week ago she is your

Daughter's assistant and Rich has her

MG: What? Couldn't you find someone else?

Me: Rich was Particular he stumbled on her insta

and liked what he saw

MG: There's a lot of girls out there girls who look

better
Me: Good for them but he wanted her and I'm not
going to go back and forth with you about this.. I
just want you to keep your Daughter in line! I know
she's very nosey.

I didn't even wait for him to reply I just hung up..

SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)

The water was warm and soothing to my aching
body..

Beauty: I'll give you some space

It's like she knew I needed space just a few minutes
to myself..

She only closed the door there wasn't any key..

Soon as she stepped out tears started falling. I

thought by now crying wouldn't be something that I
would be doing but I had a lot of pain deep inside of
me. In this situation that I'm in crying is the only
thing I can do. To take out all the pain that is inside
of me to protect my sanity. Flashes of both Sondezo
and Rich kept on playing in my head. Especially Rich
when he used the chain to strangle me whilst
lodged deep inside of me. I placed my trembling
hand around my neck and closed my eyes the clear
picture of him doing that played in my mind. I felt
like screaming felt like I was losing my mind. I didn't
want these thoughts these memories these
nightmares.. They too much for me too much for
my head to handle....

ZITHA MAGASELA
The Mendoza came through he gave the officer a
file. Then the officer told him about us he turned
and looked at us nodding.

He came our way with his million dollar walk. He

had brackets but they weren't too much to put you
off. His black shirt held him tight too the short
sleeves tight around his strong arms. He was
wearing all black. A black tshirt black pants with a
lot of pockets and black boots. He ran his hand on
his bald head had clean shaven facial hair. Very
intoxicating eyes and look scrumptious lips and his
dark skin colour..
Mendoza: Good morning

We both kept quiet he raised his eyebrow..

Me: Uhm.. Good morning

No man has ever made me this nervous..

Mendoza: I am the Mendoza heard you were

looking for me?
I swallowed as my throat went dry my clit getting a
tickle and I got hot flushes..

Me: I am.. I am Zitha Magasela. This is Fortunate we

would like to discuss something with you. A missing
Person's case

He nodded..

Mendoza: This way please.. Follow me

His sexy American accent that came with a deep
scratchy voice..

Fortunate and I followed him to his office I glanced

at his butt. He had one hand buried deep in his
pocket...

SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)

Beauty knocked..

Beauty: May I please come in?

I wiped my tears..

Me: Yes.. Please

The door opened and she walked in with a white

towel and white sleepers..

Beauty: I'm sure the water is cold now

I tried to get up..

Beauty: Here.. Let me help you

She placed the things on the toilet seat then helped
me to get out of the bathtub..

He wrapped the towel around my naked body

Me: Thank you.. Thank you for your kindness

She smiled..
Beauty: You welcome.. Let's make you something to
eat and make you drink painkillers then you can rest
I nodded..

I was out meeting up with Rich so he could let me

know about how it's going with the girl
Me: How is it going?

Rich: It's going well

Me: The girl?

Rich: She's fine.. My first time getting a girl that is

calm refuses to take drugs and alcohol. Above all
that she's the first one that I've enjoyed sex with.
Makes me feel that she hasn't been really sexual
plus there was no sign of a boyfriend on her
Instagram

Me: Reminds me of my wife when I first got her not

that she's damaged now but people won't
understand the joy and satisfaction of getting
someone who is that much enjoyable makes even
the toughest guy soft here and there

Rich: That is very true I'm very satisfied with her.. I

just wish she could get to the point of not
restraining it could be more beautiful if she would
enjoy me

Me: You know your time with her is up and you

can't kill her because we have that FBI who is tailing
us so tomorrow you give her back and I take her to
the vultures

Rich: That's why I wanna talk to you I want her to be

mine. I've been looking to settle down too and I
think I like this one

Me: Are you sure about this?

Rich: Very sure

Me: Okay then make the transaction and she's

yours

Rich: How much?

Me: 500k

Rich: I'll make the payment

Me: Back to business.. I have 3 Clients who each

want hotdogs they've sent me Emails last night

Rich: You getting them from MG?

Me: No.. I think Khosa would do

Clients who want kids we have codes when it comes
to Emails..

Hotdog= little boy

Pizza= little girl

It also works for our overseas clients..

ZITHA MAGASELA

I explained everything to Agent Mendoza and even

gave him pictures of Sihle and her last social media
posts..

He quietly looked at everything..

Mendoza: Usually when someone is missing you
report them within 24-72 hours. So we start the
search and find them alive

Fortunate: Are you saying she's dead?

Me: I'm not saying that but do prepare yourselves

for that possibility because she's been missing for
more than a week now

I sighed..

Me: I will try my hardest to get her she's the first

case I received and I'm planning on making a mark
with it. I'll start by going to the restaurant where
she posted that she'll be meeting with the Person
Me: Can I be of help?
He looked at me..

Me: Sihle is my assistant there's more Intel I could

give you about her that could help

Fortunate: I agree

Me: I need both of you to understand the dangers

of this situation there's a high possibility that she
could be a human trafficking victim and if so. That
means dangerous people are involved. I can't be
tackling the case and then have to worry about you
and your safety plus I a-

We heard a knock at the door Fortunate and I

turned to this blonde woman standing at the door..
Her: What's shaking buttercup?

Mendoza: Already have a Partner

He got up..

Mendoza: You had no problems finding the place?

Her: Not at all

He walked up to her and they shared a hug. The hug

was intimate even picked her up a little. They
definitely fucking these two...

The girls left I took their contacts incase I will need

something from them.. I was happy that Yvonne is
here I know when I got her in my team. Everything
will make sense..
Me: Are you sure you don't want to rest? I can have
you driven to my Mother's house

Yvonne: No I'm fine was not my first time flying.. A

long flight for that matter

She was sitting on the table..

Yvonne: I think we should go to the restaurant right

away was not my first time flying.. A long flight for
that matter

She was sitting on the table..

Yvonne: I think we should go to the restaurant right

away I'm sure they have Cameras and they will
clearly show who showed up that day to meet up
with the girl
Me: That's what I was thinking

Yvonne: We get her identity we nail her

Me: Let's go

ZITHA MAGASELA

Fortunate: Thank you thank you for your help

Me: I can't believe this is happening to Sihle I mean
she was excited about this

Fortunate: She's not a Person to not check in when

she didn't and didn't reply to my whatsapp calls
that's when I realized something was wrong

Me: Me too when she didn't show up at work. I

knew something was wrong.. I'll get my Father on it
too we going to do the best that we can so that she
can be found

Fortunate: Thank you.. Thank you very much Sihle is

fortunate to have someone like you
Me: Let's finish up eating so I can drive you home

SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)

I was woken up by Beauty..

I looked at her..

Beauty: You were crying and screaming in your

sleep
She sat on the bed..

Me: I have nightmares

Beauty: I can tell

Me: I don't deserve to be here this is all wrong

Beauty: So what are you going to do about it?

Me: I don't know

Beauty: Nothing.. You can't do anything. You

dealing with dangerous people here Sihle a ring that
has never been busted. If you keep on resisting do
you know what's going to happen? You will be sent
to the vultures. The Cape Flats trust me when you
there. This will be nothing compared to what you
going to go through there. Those girls are treated 10
times worse than how you treated it's worse

Me: So you saying I should accept this?

Beauty: Accept Rich if you do. He will buy you out

from being shipped and when he can fully trust you.
You will be able to see your family again

My face lit up..

Me: Really?

She nodded..

Beauty: But if you end up in the Flats or overseas

you will never see your family ever again even if you
die or kill yourself they will cremate your body and
dispose the remains. Your family will never know
what happened to you. Some of the girls are now
married to the Gilligan gang and they have a better
life. If you accept him you will be treated better

Me: Thank you Beauty

Beauty: Don't tell him I said that

Me: It's okay

Beauty: Just pray it's not too late because I believe

this week you should be going to the Flats because
he has bought you for a few days
I swallowed..

Beauty: Make him buy you for good

Me: How?

Beauty: You are a woman what does a blood colded

bastard want?

Me: A submissive woman

Beauty: A woman who caters to him when he

comes back a woman who seemingly understand
what they do. A woman who is loyal

Me: Thank you very much Beauty

Beauty: Make him not want to have someone else
but you

I nodded again..

Beauty: I know it's hard but it's the only way you
can survive and be able to see your family again

I closed my eyes..

Beauty: Because if you still think someone is going

to come and save you? You will wait forever

Me: Thank you Beauty

She smiled a little..

Beauty: Let me get you a dress to wear hope it will
fit. You can't stay with a towel forever
Me: Okay

She walked out.. At least there's hope that I'll get

out of here I just need to do what Beauty said I
should do...

PEGGY KUNENE

Lu showed up at my workplace this is starting to get

ridiculous! I looked at the other chef and told him to
hold the font for me for a few minutes.. I walked
out of the kitchen to him I saw him when I checked
out the dining area..

I drew the chair out of the table and sat down

Lu: Hey

Me: Hi.. What are you doing here? Lu this is my

workplace
Lu: And a restaurant where people eat

Me: So you only here to eat?

Lu: I got a job

I looked at him..

Lu: I'm starting tomorrow I'll be working for MG.

Philani Magasela he took a leap of faith with me

Me: Wait thee MG?

He smiled..

Lu: Yes

Me: That's nice.. I'm happy for you

Lu: So I was wondering if we could.. You know give

it another try?
I shook my head..

Me: There's no other try Lu

Lu: I don't understand Peggy I got another job

Me: And I still feel strongly about my decision

He snapped..

Lu: Dammit Peg!... You seeing someone else are

you?

Me: I think you should leave

Lu: Who is he?

Me: I think you should leave

I got up..

He got up too and grabbed my arm..

Lu: I got stabbed for you I almost died for you! You
will be sorry for doing this to me I swear!

Me: If you don't walk out of here you'll be thrown

out.. You have already caused a scene.. Goodbye Lu
I yanked my arm from his grip and walked back to
the Kitchen..

Lu: You going to be sorry do you hear me?

SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)

I thought deeply about what Beauty said I've been

through the most already. What she suggested can't
be more difficult than what I'm always going
through..
My Mother doesn't have a good health I'm just
imaging how much this is breaking her. My
disappearance. At my age I should know very well
that a job opportunity doesn't really come through
a DM. If it was an Email it would've made more
sense..

Beauty gave me two novels to read I love reading so

this might just keep my thoughts from wandering
around into the wrong place. Collect them and
make me forget about my current situation..
I was reading "Step Brother Dearest" by Penelope
Ward already I was lost deep in the book. I was
enjoying it I've managed to read almost half of it...

The door unlocked and opened Rich made his way

in. It must be late now I lose track of time because I
don't have any watch but I estimate by the darkness
outside when I stare at the curtain the curtain is not
too dark and my view is a high wall..

He stood at the door and looked at me I went back

to reading.. Fear creeped in I still fear him. He has
hurt me and violated me my whole being is scared
of him but I have to gain courage if I'm going to pull
this off...
Rich: Beauty mentioned that you struggled through
a headache today?

I nodded still keeping my eyes on the page..

Me: I'm fine now she gave me pills

I don't wanna come off as too needy and desperate.

I don't wanna show him that I'm actually depending
on him to help me out from being sold to the flats..
Rich: What are you reading?

Me: Step Brother Dearest

Rich: Is it a good novel? Seeing from your

concentration

Me: Yes it is I'm enjoying it a lot

He nodded..

Beauty: Sir
Rich: Beauty

Beauty: Just brought Sihle dinner

She walked in..

I rose up from the pillow..

Beauty: Should I help you sit up?

Me: I'm fine thank you

Beauty: Here is your dinner

Me: Thank you

She placed the tray on my thighs..

Me: Thank you so much

I smiled at her..

Beauty: I'll come back later to get the dishes

Me: Okay

Beauty: Sir your dinner is at the table

Rich: Thank you

Beauty walked out Rich still stood there and looked

at me..
I held my book on my other hand and was eating
with the other..

I looked at him..

Me: Was there something else?

Rich: No.. I'll.. I'll give you peace for tonight seems
like you really enjoying the book

Me: Thank you

He walked out and closed the door I smiled.

ZITHA MAGASELA

I was busy trying to fit in the pieces of Sihle's case.

Going through her social media her last hours
leading to her being abducted.

It was difficult finding this Ronell lady her accounts

were down but I know very well what she looks like
because I've seen her pictures when Sihle showed
me. If I could find even one picture of her I'll do
Google image search and every account linked to
the picture will pop up. I even feel like "Ronell" is an
alias name it's not her real name..

My Dad walked into my bedroom the door was

opened..

Dad: Princess

Me: Dad

Dad: What are you busy with?

Me: Trying to get something that might possibly

lead me to Sihle

Dad: Isn't the Police handling that?

Me: They are but I also wanna do something that
might help

He sat on my bed..

Dad: Remember what we spoke about? When it

involved Kea?

Me: This is different

Dad: How? Princess the Police are handling this. The

Police are trained to deal with such you not! What's
going to happen to me if you get yourself in a
pickle? These people coming after you?

Me: It's different now Dad The Mendoza is handling

these cases and if something happens I'll contact
him
Dad: He's one man standing.. Zitha usually human
trafficking rings involve a gang

Sponsored

it's not just one Person and if they feel that their
operation is threatened they eliminate the threats. I
don't want you to be that threat I've Already lost
your Mom. I don't wanna lose you too let the Police
handle this.. Right?
Me: You right.. I'll stop obsessing about it

Dad: Promise?
Me: I promise

Dad: Thank you

He got up and walked out of my bedroom..

I wasn't really going to leave it. Sihle is my assistant

and if I stumble upon anything that might help. I'll
definitely alert The Mendoza I just need to do it
without my Father knowing..
VHUTSHILO BOSCH

We were sitting at the dinner table eating..

Me: Babe

He looked at me..

Me: I.. Can I talk to you about something?

Kirs: You can talk to me about anything Liefie

I looked at Azelea and then looked at him.

Me: I wanna go back home to Venda to see how my

relatives are holding up

He let go of the fork and it fell on the plate he

looked at Azelea..

Kirs: My Angel why don't you go and finish off your

food in your bedroom?
Azelea: Okay Papa
She got down from the chair and took her plate
then walked out of the room. Kirs looked at her and
disappeared then he looked at me..

Kirs: Where is all of that coming from now?

Me: It's something I've been thinking about for a

while now

When he sent off Azelea to her bedroom I got a

little scared. Kirs is unpredictable.
Kirs: No

I closed my eyes..

Me: Why?

He looked at me..

Kirs: Are you questioning me?

Me: No

Kirs: Good!
I lost my appetite...

THE MENDOZA

It took us forever to get here the GPS helped most

of the time but not knowing South African roads
gave us a tough time....
We walked into the restaurant and went straight to
the counter..

Me: Good evening

Him: Evening

Me: Is the Manager around?

Him: I am the manager Kevin

Me: Kevin I am The Mendoza I'm an FBI Agent

working with the SAPS.. This is my Partner Agent
Hales. Agent Yvonne Hales
Kevin: I've seen you on TV what can I help you with?

Me: We are investigating a Missing Person's case

I got my phone out and showed him the Picture..

Me: This girl was here last Saturday she was

meeting up with a certain Woman. Do you
recognize her?
Kevin: No Sir.. I wasn't working on Saturday

Yvonne: Who was working?

Kevin: The people aren't in today who were working

on Saturday

Me: Can we see the video footage dating to Last

week Saturday?

Kevin: I think you need a court order for that

Me: I am the court order!

Yvonne: Kevin right?

Kevin: Yes
Yvonne: A girl's life is at stake and that footage
might be the only link to finding her

He looked at us..

Kevin: Okay this way

We followed him...

SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)

I didn't finish my food but I did try to eat as much as
I can. If I don't eat at all it will show that I'm still
depressed about what's happening I'm being
resistant and hard..

I heard a knock at the door..

Me: Come in Beauty

Instead of Beauty walking in it was Rich. Since when

does he knock? He only unlocks and open then
make his way in.. I still had the chain around my
ankle I wasn't sitting on the floor crying as how he
usually finds me. I was laying on the bed..

Rich: Beauty retired to her room

She lives in a backroom outside..

Me: Just wanted to thank her for the meal it was

delicious

He walked over and took the tray from me he

placed it on the table..

Rich: Good night

Me: Good night

He walked to the door only to stand there and

exhale with his back facing me. He slowly turned
around..

Rich: Would you like to take a bath before you

sleep?

Me: Yes.. I'd like that very much

He came to unlock the padlock and took the chain
around my ankle. I was sitting on the bed he held
my foot and placed it on his thigh checking out my
ankle. The chain is tight around my ankle so my leg
was painful.

Me: I'm fine

He looked at me..

Me: I'm okay

He got back up..

Rich: Let's go
I slowly got up from the bed he stretched out his
hand to me. I looked at it with my heartbeat picking
up. I stretched mine to his and he helped me up..
Then we walked to the bathroom...

THE MENDOZA
The manager did show us the video tape. We did
see Sihle sitting with some Lady since we weren't
allowed to take the tape without the court order. I
was able to take pictures of the Lady. They weren't
too clear but they will work when we put them out
there..

Our best shot was to put the picture in the internet

and ask for help from the public giving us a precise
identity of this woman. It might come off in two
ways she can know we are tracking her and go into
hiding. On the other hand it might help us actually
track her down. Either way it's a risk we have to
take...
Yvonne and I we set to put it out tomorrow. First
thing in the morning...

Peggy: I don't understand women who do this to

other women

Me: Do you see the importance of being careful?

Peggy: When you witness it from afar you don't

think much of it but when it's this close. It's scary

Me: I just want to know how many we up against

and who is the leader. We find him we nail these
bastards
Peggy: I trust you
Me: Thank you

Peggy: So Yvonne

I looked at her...

Peggy: You two seem closer than the last time I saw
her

Me: We not in a relationship

Peggy: So you say

Me: Go to sleep it's late

Peggy: I like her.. Even if you two can date then I'll
support
Me: Goodnight

She smiled and walked away..

Peggy: Good night

SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)

The next morning I was woken up by Beauty. I don't

sleep until the early hours of the morning. Each
time when I sleep I get nightmares about what
happened. Then I stay awake with a fast beating
heart rate and pressure on my chest. I'll only get
sleep at around 4am-5am..

Beauty: Good morning

Me: Morning

She looked at me..

Beauty: You wearing his t-shirt?

Me: Uhm.. Yes borrowed me last night after taking a

bath

Beauty: That's good

She smiled..

Beauty: That's why I woke you up early he wants

your size so he can have you bought clothes

Me: Okay

I sat up straight..

Beauty: Still having body aches?

Me: Yes

Beauty: I'm sorry

Me: It's okay

He handed me the book and pen..

Beauty: Even your preference of underwear and
bras their sizes too.. With shoes I'd rather have you
jot down sleepers because you won't be going
anywhere

Me: That's a good idea

(Silence)

Me: Is he going to work?

Beauty: No.. Not today

Me: Okay

I started writing....
LUNGELO

I met up with MG again this morning to give him

what he requested. He gave me the contract in
exchange and I read it then signed it..

MG: Are you happy with all the terms?

Me: Very happy

MG: I'm glad you are

Me: Thank you very much for giving me this
opportunity I promise that I won't disappoint you

MG: I hope so

I nodded..

MG: How are things going with your girlfriend?

Me: Even after telling her that I found a job she still
didn't wanna take me back

MG: I'm sorry to hear that

Me: It's okay.. I'm just glad that my love is not

entirely over
MG: Very true I know it's hard but.. Let her go.
Concentrate on your life you have been given a
second chance. Don't waste it

Me: True

ZITHA MAGASELA

Before going to the studio this morning I went to

the police station. To enquire about how far the
Mendoza is with the case..
Mendoza: You just reported yesterday

Me: I don't mean to put you under pressure I just.. I

am scared of what might be happening to her

Mendoza: I understand but we are busy with the

case and when we have any clue about her
whereabouts we will bring her back

His partner walked in holding a file..

Yvonne: I gave it t-

She looked at me..

Yvonne: Good morning

Me: Morning

Yvonne: I'm Yvonne

Me: Zitha.. Sihle

Sponsored

the missing girl. She's my assistant Yvonne: Ohw.. I

see
Mendoza: Did you send it?

Yvonne: Yes to most police stations they will put it

out in a matter of 5 minutes

Mendoza: That's good

Yvonne: We managed to get a picture of the woman

that your assistant was meeting up with and we are
hoping to get a hit on her

Me: That's good.. Thank you very much

Yvonne: You welcome

Me: I should go.. Thank you for your help

Mendoza: Please provide us with the space we need
to do our job if there's anything that we have to
involve you in.. We will call you

Me: I didn't mean to pry

Mendoza: It's okay.. I understand

Me: Bye

Yvonne: Bye

I walked out...

VHUTSHILO BOSCH
Kirs this morning was taking out any Fustrations he
had on me sexually. I don't know if he was upset
about what I asked him last night or he's fustrated
about something else.. I'm not complaining because
I enjoy having sex with him but we have been at it
since from 5am with taking breaks here and there.
Now it's 09:00AM and I was dead tired. He only
gave me a long breather to prepare Azelea for
preschool. Not that he's bad at sex but at times he
does take supplements to last longer than usual and
be very hard so he can use sex to take out any
stress he has.. He tends to be very rock hard when
he takes the blue pill and takes longer to come...

I was bending over in front of our bed face down.

He had my hands pinned on my back as he stood
behind me and thrusting in deeply. The arching of
my back was starting to put a strain on me not to
mention how dead tired I was. All I wanted was for
him to cum already so I could rest. I'm hoping this is
the last round...

He stopped and let go of my hands he pulled out. I

stood up straight and he sat on the bed so that I
could sit on him. I did and slid down on it with him
losing his breath to the wetness of my coochie. He
put his hands under my legs from the knee level and
stood up I wrapped my arms around his neck. He
has a lot of strength to take in my weight not that
I'm too heavy. My weight is nothing compared to
his strength. He moved me up and down on him
that's were I felt him deep inside. Was a bit
uncomfortable I laid my head on his shoulder as he
continued with him kissing my neck in the process...

SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)

I heard a knock at the door..

Me: Come in

Rich made his way in. Dressed in his blue formal

pants a white shirt and shoes..
Rich: Good morning

Me: Good morning

Rich: I got your list is this everything you need?

Me: Yes I included toiletries too

Rich: I noticed

Me: Thank you

Rich: Still reading your novel?

Me: Yes
He walked over and sat on the bed he took it from
me. I swallowed.. He closed it and looked at the
cover then chuckled..

Rich: Let me guess? There's romance between the

Step Brother and Step Sister

Me: Yes

Rich: Very predictable

Me: It's not about it being predictable because of

the cover and title
Rich: If I'm reading something I wouldn't want it
being given away so easily

I laughed..

He laughed too..

Rich: Am I wrong?

Me: It's not about that it's about the journey of how
they fell in love with each other especially since it's
Taboo.. Step sister and brother falling in love?
Rich: You not against that?

Me: Love is love despite how wrong it's viewed. The

heart can't differentiate

Rich: sounds interesting maybe I should read it

sometime

Me: Maybe you should.. We can read it together

Rich: Tonight?

Me: Yeah why not?

We looked at each other..

Rich: You very beautiful even at your worst

Me: Thank you

He leaned closer and kissed me. The kiss was

different from the forced one that he usually does
when he is sexually violating me.. He placed his
hand on my cheek the kiss was smooth and
spontaneous..

He pulled back..

Rich: I should go.. Get these things

Me: Ya..

Rich: I'll see you when I get back

Me: Okay

He ran his thumb on my lower lip and bit his

Rich: I'm leaving

Me: Okay

To be continued

SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)

Funny enough when Rich got back he asked me to
read the Novel for him. I didn't mind because I don't
have anything going on for me in this house other
than keeping busy by reading.. Instead of my jail
which is the bedroom I'm currently occupying he
actually had us sitting comfortable on the couch. He
was drinking whiskey and I was drinking juice. He
had bought me clothes dresses to be more exact. I
was wearing a monogram printed long sleeved
Louis vutton dress. I wonder how much it went for
and flats.

I was laying on his chest as I read we've been on it

for hours.. His hand was on my thigh with my leg
across him..

Rich: Wait what? He pierced his??

Me: Yes
Rich: That doesn't sound right let me see

Me: You don't trust me?

Rich: Let me see

I showed him he laughed..

Rich: How does that even work? You know when

they doing it?

Me: I don't know but she enjoyed

Rich: I was all for everything until that part

Me: Well I am sure there's guys who do that

Rich: Have you seen one?

Me: No

Rich: Let's Google it

He took out his phone and we Googled "Pierced

dicks"

Me: See

Rich: Get out of here! (laughing)

Me: Maybe some other people are comfortable

with that

Rich: This is insane I tell you

A call came in "Kirs Bosch"

Rich: I have to take this

He got up from the couch and walked to the kitchen

I went back to the novel but could hear him talking..

Rich: What?.. How did it happen?.. How can she be

that stupid?.. No man I can't lose her!.. We are.. We
are really connecting and I enjoy spending time with
her I enjoy her company.. How can Raelynn be that
stupid?.. Of course we going to kill her because of
her stupidity

My heart race picked up..

Rich: Okay.. Yeah.. I'll be there

I pretended to read the book as he walked in.

Rich: Come.. You have to go back to the bedroom

Me: I thought we were reading

Rich: I have to go somewhere

I got up from the couch..

Me: Is everything okay?

Rich: Everything is okay

Me: I'll bend the page a little so we know where w-

He grabbed the book from me and started tearing

it..

Rich: I don't care about the stupid book!

He threw it at my face I screamed a little.

Rich: Come!!

He grabbed me by my hair and dragged me to the

bedroom..

KIRS BOSCH

I was in my study Raelynn's picture was all over the

SAPS social media pages people were commenting.
How stupid can she be to sit in a restaurant where
cameras could focus on her where she didn't even
have a disguise on? People were commenting all
kinds of things. The caption was the one that took
me off:
"The Police are searching for this woman who is in
connection with a disappearance of a young woman
by the name of Sihle"

They mentioned the name of the Restaurant and

also uploaded Sihle's picture. They had a reward for
R15 000 with anyone who has information about
her. You could even send an anonymous tip through
the number provided.. "Call the Mendoza".

Raelynn is married to one of our Brothers one of the

Gilligan Brothers and taking her out might cause a
bit of a shake in our chain but he couldn't keep his
woman in line so we have to do what we have to
do. To protect ourselves. All the Brothers we going
to have a meeting take her out. If her husband
comes at us we will take him out too and share in
his asserts. There's no turning back from this she
fucked up and that's that..
If I don't do this my Partners won't trust me
anymore. I have to always make them fear me can't
be merciful and can't have a heart.

Both their kids will be put in the Orphanages and

possibly be sold..

THE MENDOZA

Menzi: Where is he? Where is he?

I heard his voice from the corridor he made his way

into my office..

Menzi: What is the meaning of this?

Me: General
Menzi: How do you make this call?

Me: I am in charge of the human trafficking cases

remember?

Menzi: The reward? Where is that coming from?

Me: From my own pocket

Menzi: You can't do this! If this woman is involved in

a human trafficking ring do you know that you have
just put a young woman's life on the line? If they
see this.. They going to kill her! This is not how we
do things

Yvonne: It might raise concerns in the ring killing her

or shipping her is definitely not something they can
think of doing. It's dangerous careless and they can
be caught. I believe killing would be the last thing
that the unsub would do

Menzi: Unsub?

Yvonne: Unidentified subject

Menzi: Who are you?

Me: This is my Partner. Agent Yvonne Hales. She's a

profiler and building a profile on our unsub

Menzi: What the hell do you think this is? The

Beaurea?

Me: General
Menzi: No you listen here.. This is madness you just
don't do this from the top of your head consider
this your first warning!

He looked at Yvonne then walked out..

Yvonne: He's involved

Me: I know.. Could he be the master mind?

Yvonne: He's too public to be the master mind he's

just a puppy following orders and getting extra
money

The phone rang..

Yvonne: 3 so far let's hope this one promises

something and not a chancer
KIRS BOSCH

I called MG..

MG: I saw it

Me: We moving to plan B

He sighed..
Me: with immediate effect

MG: Are you sure?

Me: I am very sure

MG: I'll make the call

Me: Don't fuck up

MG: I won't

Me: Good!

ZITHA MAGASELA

I was back at the studio. It doesn't feel right without

Sihle she's always around making me giggle or being
her clumsy self..

My heart broke she's a very sweet girl. She doesn't

deserve this! She doesn't hurt anyone always at her
kindest moments. Always smiling and friendly. Tears
burned my eyes..

As I was on Instagram checking out Iker with his

new thang. Didn't take him long to upload her all up
in there shaking her phat ass. I don't know if I was
crying for Sihle or my breakup.

Searching through uploads I ran into Vhutshilo

Bosch's Instagram. I checked her out liked her
videos and pictures so I started following her..

I checked more of her pictures and videos.

LUNGELO

I got a call from MG..

Me: Mr Magasela

MG: Sorry for disturbing you and this might come

across as weird and unusual but.. I have a trip for
two wanted to take my wife with but she's not
feeling well. Everything has already been paid for
and I can't get a refund

Me: Okay?

MG: I wanna give the trip to you I had a background

check on you and.. You going through a breakup

Me: That's true

MG: Don't you think this is the best time to surprise

her with a trip for two? Go to Mauritius and fix
things?

Me: I don't know if Peg is going to be all for that not

after what happened to us

MG: It's worth a try.. Contact her and say you

wanna take her out then over the dinner date tell
her about the trip.. Let it be on short notice so she
doesn't have a "choice"

Me: I don't know Sir

MG: Do you love this girl?

Me: I do

MG: Then give it a try.. The trip is in 2 days time

Me: Yes Sir.. Thank you

MG: You'll get back to me

Me: Yes I will

MG: Bye

I didn't know what to say I was speechless. Asa was

HIV+. All 3 of us sat on the couch just quiet for a
couple of minutes. Thato Asa and myself. She's just
16 bloody 16 years old!. How do they protect these
girls from pregnancy by having them take the 3
months contraceptive injection two nurses come to
perform that but can't protect them from the
clients who force to have unprotected sex with
them? Now a girl is infected doesn't even know who
infected her nor when she was infected..

Me: Asa

Asa: It's okay.. I just wanna know what's going to

happen to me now

Thato: They obviously going to get rid of you if word

gets out
Asa: But this is not my fault I never went there
looking for it

Me: I know.. I know

Asa: Wouldn't be fair to be killed

Me: We not going to let this happen

They looked at me..

Me: We not going to tell a soul about this

Asa: But I'll need treatment how will I get treatment

without the Bosses knowing?

Me: I'll make a plan don't worry about that.. Just

don't tell anyone about this okay?
Asa nodded..

I looked at Thato She nodded too...

I took her results and put them in my bag as I was

due to leave..

I was helping my Mother cook when I received a call
from Lu. I sighed.. This is getting ridiculous..

Me: Hi

Lu: Hey.. Thank you for answering

Me: What do you want Lu?

Lu: I wanna apologize for the last time when we saw
each other I shouldn't have acted that way
Me: It's okay

Lu: I love you Peg more than you know. It hurts it

really hurts that you decided to end things between
us just like that

Me: Lu I can't keep on doing this it's emotionally

dragging

Lu: I know.. I just need one thing from you

Me: What is it?

Lu: Have dinner with me tomorrow night

Me: Huh?

Lu: Just one last dinner date then I promise I'll never
bother you ever again
I thought for a while..

Lu: Could even be in public it's okay

Me: It's okay.. I'll have dinner with you

Lu: Thank you.. Thank you very much

Me: Bye

Lu: Bye

Vhutshilo had uploaded a picture of herself about a

few hours ago. I liked it and then decided to go
through the likes.. I couldn't believe what I
stumbled upon The same woman who is behind
Sihle's kidnapping had liked Vhutshilo's picture. I
went to her previous likes and comments

Sponsored

The same woman who is behind Sihle's kidnapping

had liked Vhutshilo's picture. I went to her previous
likes and comments to even find that she had
commented on a few. Her real name is "Raelynn"

Me: I can't believe this

Dad: What?

Me: I think I found the woman who is behind Sihle's

disappearance
Dad: What? Are you sure?

Me: Very sure.. Look

I showed him..
Me: The picture provided by the SAPS is a bit blurry
but it's her

Dad: It does look like her indeed.. Who is this

"Vhutshilo Bosch"

Me: Her and her Husband attended my exhibition

maybe she knows the woman

Dad: You think? This thing of yours guys do you

always know People?

Me: No
Dad: How are you sure that they know each other?

Me: It's worth a try.. I'll DM her and ask

Dad: I see.. I really thought that we agreed on you

letting it go

Me: Dad... We might have a lead I'm not letting this

go

Dad: Zitha why don't you inform the FBI in charge of

the case?

I looked at him..

Dad: If this woman knows something and you DM

her what if she tells them and they come after you?
We can't risk that
Me: That's true..

Dad: Tomorrow morning go to the Police station

with the lead and let them take it from there

Me: Yes Daddy.. I'll do that

Dad: Good night Princess

Me: Good night

This woman's account only had at 4 pictures and

she was from cape town..
SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)

I was in the bedroom with Beauty..

Me: I thought I was getting there I don't know what

happened

Beauty: It's still early just give it time

Me: I don't have time!

Beauty: You are dealing with a Man who is involved
in a very critical and stressful operation when
someone goes wrong there. He wont take it well

I swallowed looking up with tears burning my eyes..

Me: I'm never getting out of here am I?

Beauty: Sihle

Me: Stop.. Stop with your theories and

philosophies.. Rich is a cold Son of a bitch and that's
who he is no amount of love will ever change who
he is.. He is cold blooded and that's that! He has no
regard for a human life at all! Which man a real man
would do this to a woman? He's not a man! Not
even half of a man he's a monster and a bastard!
Beauty moved her eyes from me to the door Rich
was standing there. I don't know how much of what
I said did he hear...

VHUTSHILO BOSCH
I got home that night to my husband standing at the
stove seemed like he was preparing dinner.
Something that Kirs does usually do. I closed the
door and looked at him he looked at me too..

I dropped my bag to the floor as I got emotional he

noticed my unsettling state.

I walked up to him with tears streaming down..

Kirs: Liefie what's wrong?

I wrapped my arms around his waist and buried my
face on his chest..

Kirs: Tshilo what's wrong? Did someone hurt you at

the flats?

I felt his heartbeat racing..

Me: Please just hold me tight

He wrapped his arms around me..

Kirs: If someone hurt you have to tell me

Me: I don't know what my life would've been if you

didn't come around and saved me (crying)

Kirs: What happened? Who did what?

Me: Just hold me please (crying)

Kirs: Okay I got you.. I always got you you know
that!

Me: I love you so much

Kirs: Ek is lief vir jou ook (I love you too)

SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)

Rich: Beauty please give us some space

Beauty: Yes Sir

Beauty stood up from the bed and walked out.. Rich

closed the door behind her.

I got scared I have said some pretty messed up

things and I don't know how much he heard.. He
was holding a book..
He looked at it and then looked at me..

Rich: I bought a new one since I damaged the one

you had

I didn't say anything..

Rich: Was wondering if we could pick up from

where we left off?

I looked at him..
Me: I'd like that

He handed it to me and then sat on the bed.

Rich: Come here

I moved and sat next to him he wrapped his arm

around me and brought my head closer to his
chest..
Rich: Do you know where we left off?

Me: Yes

Rich: Okay let's hear it

I had to come clean to Kirs about everything. I know
if I lied, he was going to find out and this time
around. He was going to deal with me in a way that
even begging wasn't going to help me. People who
work for Kirs, are loyal to the core because they
know what he's all about and the damage he can
cause.
I showed him the test result and everything.
Kirs: This is a difficult situation Liefie
Me: I know.. The girls won't tell anyone and this is
why I decided to come to you and be honest with you
about this, than going behind your back and causing
trouble for you
Kirs: And I respect you for that
Me: I know the implications of keeping this a secret
to your clients, but if no one knows about this then
she will be safe. So long the medication can be snuck
in for her, she's one of the dedicated girls and she
makes the operation a lot of money. I know releasing
her is not an option, I am asking you to do this for her
He kept quiet for a while..
Kirs: Okay I'll talk to one of the Nurses tomorrow and
have medication delivered to her
I put my hands on my mouth and closed my eyes..
Me: Thank you
Kirs: I'm doing this because you trusted me with this
information. You came to me, instead of going
around about this and creating a scandal. So long you
keep her in check and make sure she doesn't say
anything then I'll help her
Me: Thank you so much
Kirs: This girl means a lot to you doesn't she?
Me: She's like a Sister I never had. What happened
to her, reminded me that it could've been me if you
didn't take me. I don't even wanna imagine where I
would be
He got closer and put his hand on my cheek.
Kirs: I don't want you to imagine that because it will
never happen to you. I would kill anyone who ever
thinks of putting you through that, I love you so
much and I'll never let anything happen to you or
Azelea so long we remain a team
I smiled..
Me: I love you too
He kissed me.. He then tapped my ass
Kirs: With that being said, let's have dinner
Me: Can't wait to taste your food
I took my phone and checked social media. I had a
DM on Instagram from a "Zitha Magasela"
"Hi
I don't know if you still remember me but, you once
came to my exhibition with your husband. My
assistant is missing and I found the Person behind
her disappearance. Raelynn, I see she likes your
pictures and content. Do you perhaps know her?"
Me: Ohh my word! Babe
Kirs: What?
I gave him my phone, he read through. Then he
shook his head..
Kirs: I warned him about this! I warned MG about his
Daughter
He looked at me..
Kirs: How do you feel about taking a trip down to
Gauteng?
PEGGY KUNENE
I sat next to Yvonne, she was watching a series.
"Criminal minds"..
Me: I like this
Yvonne: It's not bad
Me: But?
Yvonne: It's over exaggerated
Me: How?
Yvonne: You can't build a profile from a case without
doing a thorough background check on the unsub.
You can't just get 3 homicide cases and conclude the
unsub has mental issues or a history of being abused.
Some perpetrators can kill just for the thrill of it,
some for revenge
Me: Ohw I didn't know that
Yvonne: I don't think you came here to discuss about
my work
Me: I have a situation
Yvonne: Okay
I told her everything about what happened between
Lu and I..
Me: So what do you think?
Yvonne: Did you ever love him?
Me: I did, and still do
Yvonne: So why doesn't the good outweigh the bad
in this situation? You never even gave him a chance
Me: I do feel like I've been hard on him
Yvonne: I mean he did get another job that should
count for something
Me: I guess so
Yvonne: It's not easy getting a man who loves you
that much, and is that loyal he forgave you when you
cheated. I feel you should perhaps give him one last
chance
Me: You think?
Yvonne: It's all up to you though
Me: I'll meet him up tomorrow night for dinner,
maybe we can talk things over
Yvonne: Yes.. Maybe
ZITHA MAGASELA
I paced up and down in my bedroom, from when I
sent that DM. Tomorrow seemed far, and I couldn't
stop myself from contacting this woman. In turn, I'm
also saving her from being trafficked if she knows
this Raelynn.
She sent me a DM..
"I know Raelynn, never knew she was into what you
say she is into. This is serious, I know her as this kind
and friendly woman who helps girls become brand
ambassadors for his makeup line..
I am all for helping, I hope you haven't told the Police
as yet because if she's really into this then we have
to execute the plan perfectly to bring your assistant
back safely.
I am going to book a flight to come there, then we
will talk"
I exhaled and then smiled, at least there's hope. I'm
going to crack this case wide open.
SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)
I was sitting on the kitchen counter as Rich was
dishing up for us. He prepared a quick dish for the
both of us and I've been sitting there keeping him
company busy reading the Novel. He was in his
shorts and flats, no t-shirt and had a necklace around
his neck.
He has a big upper body, definitely wouldn't be able
to take him down...
Me: We are nearing the end of the book
Rich: Really? I was enjoying
Me: Me too
Rich: I'll get you more
Me: I'd appreciate that
(Silence)
Me: What you heard when I was talking to Beauty I-
Rich: You don't have to apologize, never apologize
for telling the truth.. Though I don't wanna talk about
it
Me: Okay
Rich: We done reading?
Me: My eyes are tired and painful
Rich: I'll read after dinner
Me: It smells nice
Rich: You just trying to be nice
Me: Maybe (laughing)
Rich: I'm done
Me: Can't wait to taste
Rich: I'll set the table
Me: I'll help
He got me down from the counter..
Me: Short girls problem
Rich: You not that short
Me: I am
Rich: if you say so
I took the plates to the dinning table..
PEGGY KUNENE
I called Lu..
Lu: Peg
Me: I'll have dinner with you
Lu: Really?
Me: Yes
Lu: Send me the name of the restaurant and I'll
Me: We can have it at the flat
Lu: I'll order in
Me: Maybe a possible sleepover
Lu: Are you serious?
Me: I don't know.. Maybe
Lu: I'll see you tomorrow
Me: Tomorrow it is
Lu: Peg
Me: Yes?
Lu: I love you
Me: I love you too
Lu: Good night

We ended our night in a Jacuzzi. I was in my
underwear and bra, I was sitting on him whilst he
had his boxers on. We were just chilling in the jacuzzi
but I know this moment might turn into something,
judging from how he was squeezing my body. I was
still in pain over him beating me up, but it seems like
no severe internal damage was done because I can
get through the pain with pain killers.
We were talking about random things and the
conversation moved to being more personal..
Rich: So since from then you've never dated?
Me: Not exactly
Rich: You never had sex until now?
Me: I have
Rich: was it a one night stand? Since you weren't
dating?
Me: When Ronell kidnapped me, she took me to this
other house. I stayed there for the night with some
man by the name of Sondenzi and he.. He violated
me the whole night
He squeezed my waist tighter and it hurt.
Rich: What?
Me: Awww
He loosened his grip..
Rich: He did what?
Me: He wasn't brutal
Rich: It's not a matter of him being brutal or not.. He
slept with you even when he knew that you were
mine! No one was meant to touch you!
I was confused.. Is he mad that someone raped me
when he did the same? And with him he's more
brutal..
Rich: Get off
I moved, he got out of the jacuzzi..
Rich: I'm going to bed
He picked up the towel..
Rich: Let's go.. Let's call it a night
I got out too..
ZITHA MAGASELA
I have every intention to go and tell the Mendoza
about this, but after conversing with Vhutshilo last
night. I am scared that if I involve the Police, we
might not find Sihle. I wanna be sure first about this
lead before involving the cops..
Dad: Good morning Princess
Me: Dad
Dad: Off to the police station?
Me: Yes.. I'll pass by there before going to the studio
Dad: It's for the better, let the Police handle this
Me: I'll do so
Dad: Well I'm off, I'll see you later
Me: Yes Daddy
He took a banana and walked out...
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
Kirs: The Nurse is on her way to the flats, to attend
to this girl
Me: Thank you
We were packing, since we leaving for Gauteng
tonight..
Me: What about Raelynn?
Kirs: I've put a hit on her, tonight they will invade her
house. Kill her and the Husband then take the kids
Me: Isn't the house secure?
Kirs: I believe it is but the guards working there are
guards who are under my rule, they the ones who
will carry this out
We the only ones who don't have guards around our
yard, just a tight security system.
Me: And Zitha?
Kirs: MG is a very important person to the Operation,
I wanna handle this on my own. He has an operation
to do tonight, once that is done. Then I'll handle his
Daughter. I've warned him a few times about her, he
still can't keep her in line. She's very nosey, and what
she did last night is dangerous. I'm glad she took the
bait
I nodded..
Me: Yeah me too
Kirs: Don't forget to pack for Azelea, she'll be staying
with Tannie Karyn until we get back
Me: I'll do so
Kirs: Thank you for everything
I smiled...
SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)
This morning I was allowed to have breakfast with
rich at the table. He was sitting across me and
reading a newspaper, whilst I sat and ate trying not
to disturb him.
He was awfully quiet and I decided to be quiet too..
Rich: You'll have a TV in your room tonight, to keep
you from getting bored
At least that's something, we getting somewhere.
Today it's a TV, tomorrow a phone. Seems like things
are coming together perfectly..
Me: Thank you
Rich: Anything else you might need?
Me: No I'm fine.. Thank you
He nodded..
Beauty: Orange juice, from freshly squeezed oranges
Me: Thank you, why don't you join us for breakfast?
Rich moved the newspaper and looked at me. Beauty
looked at him, then looked at me.
Beauty: I am okay, thank you
She walked away..
Rich went back to reading his newspaper..
Rich: We don't dine with people who work for me
Beautiful
Me: Noted
Rich: Good!
ZITHA MAGASELA
Right when I was unlocking the door, my phone rang.
It was Vhutshilo..
Me: Hey
Tshilo: Hi.. Just wanted to let you know that I'm
leaving home
Me: Flying?
Tshilo: No I'm driving
Me: Ohw
Tshilo: Couldn't get a flight
Me: I see
We exchanged numbers yesterday..
Tshilo: I'm still holding to my word, when I get there..
We will go to the police station
Me: Thank you so much for doing this
Tshilo: Don't mention it. If it's the woman behind this
then we should do something about this. As women,
we shouldn't bring each other down but help each
other.. This is wrong, she has to be brought to justice
Me: Thank you
Tshilo: I'll call you again when I get there
Me: Okay no problem
I hung up and sighed, at least we getting there..

VHUTSHILO BOSCH
We were on the road for the whole morning and
afternoon. We only stopped to check in at some
hotel, at around 20:00. We usually fly down to
Johannesburg, this is our very first time time driving
there.. We took minor breaks in between, and it
seemed like we had a long way to go. I didn't know
that the drive would be this dreadful and tiring,
though I'm not even the one driving.
We booked a room, put our things and went down
to have a meal..
Me: Why didn't we fly again?
Kirs: I'm giving MG time to pull off his operation
tonight, before I get there and pull off mine
Me: Ohw
Kirs: Just waiting for the confirmation
Me: Is it advisable to kidnap the Sister of an FBI
agent?
Kirs: It's the only shot we have for him to back off
Me: I'm just scared that's all
Kirs: You don't trust me?
Me: I trust you
Kirs: I've been doing this for years
Me: I know.. I'm sorry I even questioned your plan
Kirs: When we get those girls, it will be over don't
worry.. We go back to our peaceful lives again
Me: I trust you
I continued eating..
PEGGY KUNENE
I fixed my dress and knocked. I was nervous. He
opened the door and looked at me..
Me: Hi (Smiling)
Lu: Hey
He opened the door wider..
Lu: Please come in
I made my way in..
Me: You just started cooking?
Lu: I'm actually finishing.. I burned the food the first
time
I chuckled..
Me: Typical
Lu: You look lovely
Me: Thank you
Lu: Thank you for coming
Me: Thank you for inviting me
Lu: Let me get you a glass of wine whilst we wait for
the food
Me: Or I should just help
Lu: I invited you over, I get to cook for you
Me: No offense Babe, but you are a bad cook
Lu: Babe?
I smiled and looked down..
Lu: I actually got the recipe from the net, I'm
following the instructions
Me: of course! That will help
Lu: Whatever Peg! Just make yourself comfortable
We both laughed...
SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)
I looked at the pack of sanitary pads and exhaled.. I
had unprotected sex with both Men, I'm not on
contraception. I don't know if I'll ever get to use
these pads..
I heard footsteps nearing towards the door, I put the
pads away. I heard a knock..
Me: Uhm come in
The door opened, and Rich walked in..
Rich: Beautiful
I faked a smile..
Me: Hey
Rich: You okay?
I nodded repeatedly..
Me: Yes.. I'm good
Rich: Are you sure?
Me: I am
Rich: Heard the connection to the TV didn't do today
Me: Yes
Rich: I'll have it sorted out tomorrow morning again
Me: Okay
He looked at me again..
Rich: Are you sure that you okay?
Me: I'm sure
Rich: You refused dinner, what's that about?
Me: I'm not hungry, took a lot of cake earlier on
Rich: I understand
(Silence)
Rich: if something was bothering you, you would let
me know right?
Me: Yes
Rich: Good.. I was thinking that
Me: Yes?
Rich: No it's okay.. Don't mind
Me: What is it?
Rich: Was thinking that you could share a bed with
me tonight
Me: Ohw
Rich: Why am I even asking? It wasn't a plea but an
order
Me: I'll share a bed with you tonight
Rich: Okay.. Guess I'll see you later
Me: Yes later it is
He walked out and closed the door...
THE MENDOZA
Me: Where is Peg?
I asked that holding the bowl of pumpkin. I placed it
in the middle of the table..
Yvonne: She went over to her boyfriend's place for
dinner
Ma: I hope they fix things, Lu is a good Person
I sat down and took out my phone to track her,
indeed she was at the flat..
Ma: How is the case going?
Yvonne: We actually making some progress, we had
a tip off that seems promising
Ma: That's good to hear
Me: I hope it's not someone who is leading us down
the wrong way
Yvonne: I don't think so, the Person provided good
information
Ma: Information?
Yvonne: It's someone who grew up with her so we
will be driving down to her Parents house tomorrow,
I'm sure the Parents will tell us where she lives now
Ma: That's good.. That's good information
ZITHA MAGASELA
Rosi was sitting alone in the living room..
Me: Rosi
She looked at me..
Me: Are you okay? Where is Dad?
Rosi: Working as always
Me: What's wrong with you?
Rosi: What if he's cheating on me?
I chuckled..
Rosi: Wow!
Me: I'm sorry it's just.. I didn't know you could be
cheated on
Rosi: I'm serious Zee.. He works a lot these days.
Hardly home, comes in at night when I'm sleeping
sometimes
Me: Do you want me to indirectly investigate him?
Rosi: No.. I'm not going to be that woman
I nodded..
Me: Cool
She took the glass of wine and drank from it.
PEGGY KUNENE
I tasted his food...
Lu: And?
Me: Not bad.. But the Macaroni is under cooked
He sighed..
Me: But overall it's good
Lu: Should we switch to rolls?
Me: Yes please
Lu: I'll get them
We heard a knock at the door..
Me: Expecting someone?
Lu: Not really.. I'll go check
He went to check whilst I drank my wine..
I then heard male voices...
I remained still until he showed up with two Men,
one looked familiar..
Lu: Peg this is my new boss.. MG
Me: Mr MG
MG: Good evening
Me: I knew you looked familiar
MG: Heard a lot about you
He extended his hand to me for a handshake. I got
up from the chair and made my way to him.. I shook
his hand..
MG: Peggy? Peggy Kunene?
Me: Yes
MG: Sorry about this
He pulled me closer to him and turned me around,
then placed his hand over my mouth. The Gentleman
who was with him pointed his gun at Lu..
Lu: Sir.. What are you doing?
MG: I'm sorry about this Lu
The man shot Lu 3 times, I screamed through his
hand..
MG: I am going to let go, if you scream. My partner
will shoot you. Understand?
I nodded..
He slowly let go then turned me around to look at
him..
Me: Why are you doing this?
He looked at me for a while, then signaled to his
partner who pointed the gun at me..
MG: Take off the earrings
Me: Why?
MG: Take off the earrings
I took of the earrings.. Then handed them to him..
He looked at his Partner..
MG: She should be out in 5 min at least
Partner: Yes Sir
MG walked over to put the earrings on the counter
as his Partner approached him. I screamed..

MG's phone call came through..
I looked at Vhutshilo sleeping peacefully next to me.
I took my phone and got out of bed to answer it..
Me: MG
MG: It's done, we got her
I sighed in relief..
MG: We injected her, and we will be moving her
tonight. Melik is going to drive down to cape town
with her, their journey starts tonight before her
Brother notices
Me: Anything that can make him track her?
MG: I followed Yvonne's orders as how she told me.
She said he's tracking her with the earrings and
phone. Had both removed and we leaving them here
so that he will think she's still here. I will confiscate
her phone in the meantime, had it checked if they
can't trace it then I'll be sending him messages so
that he can think she's still safe
Me: Good work
MG: How is it going in Cape Town?
Me: Waiting for an order that Raelynn and her family
got slained
MG: I'll be in touch
Me: You did good
MG: I know
I hung up..
SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)
The funny thing is that Rich hasn't forced himself on
me ever since the last time I came here. Even last
night we just shared a bed, he cuddled me the whole
night, and for some reason nightmares didn't visit
me..
The next morning, I was the one who woke early and
prepared breakfast. Lazing around all day definitely
won't do me any good.
Rich was even stunned to see me preparing
breakfast..
Me: Good morning
Rich: Good morning
Me: Thought I should prepare breakfast
Rich: You know there's someone paid to do this
Me: I know, just thought that I could prepare
breakfast for a change
Rich: If you keep on going like this, Beauty might be
out of a job soon
I chuckled..
Me: I won't do it every day
He sat down..
Me: I don't know what you like, so I prepared almost
everything
Rich: Looks yummy, I'd like to taste almost the
everything
Me: I'll leave you to it
Rich: Please.. Join me
I pulled the chair and sat down across him..
ZITHA MAGASELA
Vhutshilo informed me that they were on the road
again... I hope she gets here sooner.
Rosi: Good morning
Me: Morning
Rosi: How are you?
Me: I'm good and you?
Rosi: I'm well
Me: Is Dad still sleeping?
Rosi: He didn't come home last night
Me: That's unusual
Rosi: I told you
Me: Let's not jump into conclusions
Rosi: I've jumped beyond conclusions, there's no
man that works every night. MG is always home, he
doesn't usually sleep out
Me: I don't know what to say
We heard the door opening and closing..
Me: Here he comes
He made his way into the kitchen..
Dad: Ladies
Me: Daddy
He walked over to Rosi and tried to kiss her, she
turned and left the kitchen..
Me: Nothing a new car can't probably fix
Dad: She has a car.. Make that 2
Me: Jewellery?
Dad: I'm not buying her anything expensive to
apologize
Me: Where were you?
Dad: I was working late
I nodded..
Dad: You not going to the studio?
Me: I'm going
Dad: I'll see you later then
Me: Okay
Dad: How is the case going?
Me: It's going okay, I gave him all the information I
had
Dad: That's good Princess.. I'm proud of you
Me: See you later
Dad: Have a good day
PEGGY KUNENE
I felt something moving, more like I was in a car. I
tried to move a bit before opening my eyes, and I felt
something holding me too..
I tried all in me to open my eyes since they were
heavy, I had probably fallen into a deep sleep..
When I finally opened my eyes, I realized that I was
sleeping on the chest of someone. I took a quick
glance at him and freaked out.
He held me tight..
Him: Shhhhhhhh
We were moving and the windows were tinted. It
was two guys, one was driving and the one was
holding me...
Me: What do you want from me?
Him: If you remain quiet, I won't jab you. But if you
cause any scene I'm definitely going to jab you again
and again. You will have a serious headache
Me: Where are you taking me?
Him: I think this is obvious but let me tell you
something. If your Brother does exactly what we say
then we will let you go, but if he disobeys.. Then hey,
life is a bitch!
I remembered everything. Lu being shot, MG asking
me to take off my earrings. This is it, I was
kidnapped..
YVONNE
Mendoza and I we had arrived at the house of the
victim. He went in and I was on the phone with the
Gustavo..
Kirs: We have her
I closed my eyes..
Kirs: How did you know about the earrings?
Me: Mendoza.. He told me that since he is working
on the case, Peg will be in danger. So he tracked her
with the earrings and the SOS message from the
phone
Kirs: You did well Agent
Me: What about my-
He hung up..
Me: Kirs?
I looked at my phone..
Me: Fuck!
The Mendoza walked out..
Mendoza: Are you going to join us?
Me: Uhm yes.. Sorry about that
I made my way in..
SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)
Rich had left for work, Beauty made her way in..
Beauty: Good morning
Me: Morning
Beauty: Thank you for preparing breakfast but you
didn't have too
Me: It's okay
She looked at me..
Beauty: Are you okay?
Me: Uhm yes..
Beauty: You don't look okay
Me: Beauty I need something
Beauty: Okay?
Me: A pregnancy test
Beauty: A preg-
Me: I know it's still early but.. I wanna have it and
keep it just for incase
Beauty: I will get you one when I go to town
Me: Thank you.. Thank you very much

THE MENDOZA
[3 DAYS LATER]
The police were here busy turning the place upside
down. The forensics team were gathering evidence.
I held the earrings and looked at them..
Yvonne: I'm so sorry, all of this is my fault
Me: Don't blame yourself
Yvonne: I was the one who motivated her to go and
talk to him, fix things too
Me: You didn't know that this was going to happen
When I traced Peg, from when she left that night. It
all circulated around this place, that she was at the
flat. When I couldn't get her over the phone, I knew
something was wrong. When Yvonne and I got here,
we found Lu dead on the floor.. Peg was nowhere to
be found. I am very sure that the People who did this,
are the same people that I'm after. They took Peg to
make me back off, means I was getting close and I
made them very nervous..
ZITHA MAGASELA
Vhutshilo showed up at my house, so we could talk
about Sihle.. She wasn't alone, she was with her
husband..
Tshilo: Hi
Me: Hey
Tshilo: Sorry I took long to get back to you
Me: It's okay.. Please come in
They made their way in..
Tshilo: You remember my husband Kirs?
Me: Yes.. How are you?
Kirs: I'm well and you?
Me: I'm good.. This way please
I led them to the dinning table..
Tshilo: Wow it smells nice
Me: Thank you, I hope it tastes nice too. I'm not
much of a good cook
They sat down..
Kirs: You alone?
Me: My father is delaying but he will be here both
him and my Step Mother
Tshilo: Thank you for welcoming us into your home
Me: You welcome
Tshilo: So my wife tells me that the girl who has been
making headlines, the one missing is your assistant
Me: Yes.. Sihle
Kirs: And one of the people who follows my wife on
Instagram is involved
Tshilo: Raelynn, we are good Instagram friends. She
used to DM me, said I'm beautiful and she would like
for me to be her brand ambassador
Me: That's how Sihle was poached!
Kirs: Do you know Raelynn?
Tshilo: No.. Never met her
Kirs: Okay
Me: We can start eating
Kirs looked around..
Kirs: Are there any cameras around this house?
Me: Uhm no
They looked at each other and then Kirs got up, he
took out his gun and pointed it at me.
Kirs: Good because this is your worst nightmare
I looked at him..
Kirs: You will never find Raelynn, she works for me
and she got slained because she fucked up
Me: You.. You run the ring?
Kirs: I run the whole damn thing
He looked at Tshilo..
Kirs: Liefie
Tshilo opened her bag and took out zip ties. Kirs:
Daddy never taught you to never open your door to
strangers? No matter how good and decent they
look?
Me: Why are you doing this?
Kirs: Because I can
Tshilo stood up and made her way to me. I looked at
her as she shamefully looked down.. She moved the
table a little, then knelt down to put zip ties around
my legs. Tying them against the legs of the chair.
Me: When I get out of this, you going to be the first
bitch I beat up
Kirs: Easy with the threats
She came back up to tie my hands..
Me: Consider that a promise!
She took the shawl around her neck and tied it
around my mouth..
Kirs: Now we wait for Daddy to come home!
SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)
He had handcuffed my hands. The handcuffs were
around a knob high on the wall. My legs around his
waist, and his hands firmly having a grip around my
ass taking all my weight.
My arms were tired now being held up to a small
knob, I felt the soreness from my armpit area to my
shoulders..
It's unusual how I am starting to enjoy having sex
with him, he's quite gifted down there. He knew his
way around a pussy, and I'm not the one for
hardcore sex but surprisingly enough it was nice. I
was enjoying it and he makes me come each time
when we have sex...
He held me against the wall, his hands moved to my
thighs. My small thighs weren't a match for his
strong hands. He continued thrusting in and out, not
very gentle but he was tearing me up and I couldn't
hold back on my screams. He rested his head on my
shoulder, with his lips right at my ear groaning
deeply...
PEGGY KUNENE
I got here yesterday, at the flats in Cape Town. I don't
remember much of my trip, because they would Jab
me here and there making sure that I don't give them
out. Especially where they parked to get rest, I'd only
wake up when we were on the road.
I don't know how they got me here without being
busted on the road, maybe all thanks to the tinted
windows. People probably just saw a normal car
driving on the road..
This place was Filthy and it was a lot of girls around
here, were they all kidnapped? If so then there's
definitely an embarrassing flaw on our justice
system. How do young girls end up here without the
Police raiding the flats?. It was heavily guarded
though, the fence around the flats, the guards. The
guards were divided into two, there's ones who were
wearing the same uniform and holding guns then
unsavory Coloureds with a lot of tattoos. They
looked like gang members of some sort.. I was put in
a room alone, didn't have a bed. Only a dirty
mattress, a blanket and a pillow. I've been laying
there with tears streaming down, thinking about all
the things they were going to do to me here. I was
kidnapped and it's only sinking in now, will my
Brother even find me?
YVONNE (MENDOZA'S PARTNER)
I played the video of us together, we were so happily
in love. That's the only thing I have to good
memories together, and that's the only thing I'm
holding on too.. My girlfriend was kidnapped a few
years ago, and what breaks my heart is that I had to
turn on my badge and do this to save her. The human
trafficking ring extends to overseas, they all over,
they work together and they got each other's
backs... The one holding things in the United States
is known as "Miraldo", he's part of the Gilligan
Brothers..
ZITHA MAGASELA
We heard the kitchen door opening, my Dad was
finally home. Couldn't even scream to alert him that
I'm in danger, that he should probably call the cops
first..
Kirs: Daddy is home (whispering)
My Dad walked into the biggest shock of his life, Kirs
pointed the gun at him. He was alone, Rosi wasn't
with him..
He dropped his briefcase and phone on the floor
when he saw me in this state..
Dad: Kirs what are you doing?
Kirs: Good evening Brother
Dad: Why you in my house? Why is my Daughter tied
up?
Kirs: I told you to keep her in line didn't I?
Dad: And I did
Kirs: No you didn't! If you did, I wouldn't be here
doing this
I was confused, confused at what they were talking
about..
Dad: You can't do this
Kirs: But I can
My Dad looked at me...
Kirs: Tell her the truth
Dad: Kirs
Kirs: Tell her the truth!!
My Dad kept quiet.. Kirs turned the gun to me
Kirs: Tell her the truth or I'm blowing her brains out
My Dad remained quiet.. Kirs moved closer and
placed the gun on my head..
Kirs: Tell her truth or she's reuniting with her mother
in a few seconds
Dad: Fine! Fine!
My Dad wiped his mouth..
Kirs: Here.. I'll start it for you
Kirs looked at me..
Kirs: Daddy is involved in the human trafficking ring,
the orphanages. We sell those kids to our
international customers. Singapore, that's where
most of them are
I looked at my Father..
Kirs: Isn't that right MG? Isn't that how you got rich?
Dad: I.. I'm sorry Princess
I shook my head with tears forming in my eyes..
Kirs: And it's all coming to an end tonight
He turned the gun and shot my father, he moved
closer to shoot him repeatedly as he was on the
floor..

THE PUNISHER
PART TWO
The story is divided into 3 parts.
The first part was getting to know the characters
Second part is what we call "Agnus Dei"
Agnus Dei:
Refers back to Christianity the lamb, Jesus Christ
when he was tortured and made to carry his cross
for his crucifixion.
Agnus Dei on The Punisher sees the girls captured
carrying their crosses to their crucifixion in the
human trafficking ring, suffering for sins they did not
commit. Peg suffering for what her Brother is doing,
Zitha what her father did..
Theme song of this part of the story:
Agnus Dei _Cecilia krull
"Look at me, what you did
Here I am life in jail (Cape Flats)
Agnus Dei (We are being crucified for the sins of
others)"
The story will continue as insert 34 and so forth but
the focus now is on " Agnus Dei "
We have seen them living their best lives, now we
see them at their worst
Beloved I present to you part two of our story:
"Agnus Dei"
[NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED]
35
ZITHA MAGASELA
A lot of things were running through my mind.
Thoughts of confusion, range, and hurt. So we are
rich off such malicious acts? My whole life has been
a lie? My Father is not an honest man? The man I've
looked up too all my life? My hero? I was torn. It was
unbelievable and very difficult to process.
Kirs: Nothing a story of "Burglary" gone wrong can't
sell
I ran my eyes around, he actually broke a few things
to make it look like a burglary gone wrong. By now
he was wearing latex gloves.
Kirs: Listen.. I am going to Jab you, you won't feel the
distance of traveling.. You'll be out
I looked at him, Tshilo has taken off the shawl around
my mouth..
Me: You are behind Sihle's kidnapping?
Kirs: A whole lot more don't worry
He got closer with the syringe..
Me: There's no need for that, I don't do drugs any
kind of drugs
Kirs: Fine.. Let's see how this is going to work out
Tshilo took a knife from the table and cut off the zip
ties. I got up to my feet and without thinking twice, I
punched her across the face. She staggered back..
Tshilo: Awwww!!!!
I went to her and grabbed her by her hair and pulled
her, she lost balance and fell..
Kirs: Hey!!!
I crouched still holding her hair and I started
punching her with my other hand on her face, body.
Just everywhere..
Kirs: Dit is belaglik! (this is ridiculous)
He walked over and placed his arm around my waist
pulling me off his wife..
Me: I'm going to kill you!! I swear I'm going to kill
you!!
Kirs picked me up with his arm and went to throw me
on the couch, he placed his knee on my chest... He
slapped me at least twice on my face..
Kirs: You will never put your hands on my wife ever
again do you understand?
I looked at him..
Kirs: This whole shit has been entertaining but it ends
now!.. Tshilo bring the syringe it fell somewhere
there
He looked at me..
Kirs: Should I call for backup? Do you wanna travel
painfully to Cape Town?
I spat on his face, that's when he lost his shit and
started punching me on my face..
PEGGY KUNENE
I was sitting at the corner of the room. My knees
raised up to my chest. I was lost in my thoughts..
Did Lu sell me? These people showed up when I went
to visit him.. Was he that mad at me? Was this the
job he was talking about? When he mentioned that
he was working with MG? Was I the work? I didn't
know what to think right now and he's not here to
answer for himself.. I wiped my tears and started
singing. Singing is the only thing that gets me
through even on my darkest days.
Me: "Here
I am
What you did?
Look at me
Life in jail
Mmmmh... mmhmmh...
Agnus dei
Mmmh... mmmh...
Agnus Dei"
SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)
I was watching the news when I saw the story of
Raelynn. She was killed in her home, together with
her husband. The kids were missing. I couldn't
believe it! Was this a burglary or it was actually
planned?
Rich walked into the room..
Rich: You okay?
Me: Yes
He sat on the couch next to me and pulled me to him
so I can lay my head on his chest.
Me: They running Raelynn's story
Rich: Ohw ya that's bad
I wanted to ask what happened, but at the same time
I didn't wanna piss him off with asking a lot of
questions he might not want to answer too.. This are
peaceful as they are
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
Kirs: Are you alright?
I nodded..
Kirs: Look at me
I looked at him...
Kirs: She's a crazy bitch that's for sure
Me: Can we just get out of here?
Kirs: Yes
I glanced at Zitha peacefully laying back in the back
seats. When Kirs was done punching her and jabbing
her, when he carried her to the car over his shoulder
and he had an erection. He damn straight was turned
on by what transpired in the house.
Kirs is weird, things that shouldn't turn him on. They
turn him on, and now I'm asking myself if this Zitha
will be the downfall of my marriage or what...
THE MENDOZA
I took her picture from the dressing table and looked
at it. It was a picture of her when she was still a teen.
My Mother is not okay, after hearing the news about
Peg she collapsed.
I heard a knock at the door..
Me: Come in
Yvonne made her way in...
Yvonne: Hey
Me: Hi
Yvonne: Our only lead.. She's dead, I just saw her
story on Twitter
I nodded..
Yvonne: I really thought we were making progress,
I'm sorry
Me: It's okay.. It's not your fault
Yvonne: If there's an-
Me: Can you please give me some space? Just for a
few minutes?
Yvonne: Yes of course
She walked out and closed the door..
PEGGY KUNENE
The door was unlocked and then someone walked
in.. It was a guard, holding a plate of food and a glass
of water.. He walked up to me...
Guard: Food?
I looked at him..
I stretched my hand out to him and he dropped the
plate on the floor and it broke, then he poured the
water on my head..
He unzipped his pants and took out his crotch, he
pissed on the food scattered on the floor..
Guard: Eat
I looked at him..
Guard: I said eat!
I slowly shook my head..
He put back his crotch and zipped his pants.
Guard: If you don't eat, I will force you too
Me: I'm not going to eat
He glanced down and nodded..
Guard: Okay
He kicked me across the face...
Guard: When I tell you to do something, you do it!
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
We drove in silence, it was dark on the road and a bit
quiet..
Zitha didn't move an inch, Kirs was focused on the
road. Glancing at Zitha from time to time made me
livid to the core, I had all kinds of insecurities about
her and my husband hitting it off..
Kirs: She's not going to wake up
Me: Do we really need her?
Kirs: What?
Me: Was all of this necessary?
Kirs: She was going to go to the police so yes this is
necessary
Me: I could've lied to the police
Kirs: They were going to make us people of interest
Me: But st-
Kirs: What is this all about Liefie?
Me: Nothing
We continued driving in silence.

THE MENDOZA
It was exactly 03:00am when I looked at the clock. I
couldn't get any sleep, I was busy trying to find the
missing puzzles to the case. I know for a fact that
they will do the utmost to my Sister, because of my
involvement in the human trafficking cases.
I have been an FBI Agent for years. I love and very
much dedicated to my job, but this moment made
me scared. Very scared.
I could only imagine what they doing to my Sister, I
know what they might be doing to her. I laid back on
the chair with my hands on my head. I looked up and
sighed with my eyes closed.. If something terrible
happens to her, I'll never forgive myself...
PEGGY KUNENE
This guard was ontop of me, since I refused to eat
the food that he pissed on. He took it upon himself
to take advantage of me, in a way that a woman
should never be taken advantage of.. What was
painful about this situation, was that even if I
scream. No one will come to my rescue, no one from
here is going to help me in this whole ordeal..
He placed both hands on my neck and strangled me,
his groaning, his sweat, the way he went up and
down. There way he was enjoying this moment, it
was insane. No part of what he was doing should give
him any pleasure. My face was still burning from the
kick I endured, he didn't even took my dress off. He
ripped it apart, together with my bra and underwear.
He was hungry for me, waiting on nothing but to
devour me like a lion ripping my flesh apart.. My
throat was closed, my voice couldn't arise. Only tears
streamed sideways, I never imagined that one day I
would find myself in this situation.
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
Kirs has contacts almost everywhere. A hotel would
have us busted, so he decided to call in a favour and
we found ourselves in a lodge were he paid a huge
amount to have us sleep there.. The lodge wasn't
bad, the rooms consisted of a kitchen, a bathroom
and the bedroom. Just one bed in the bedroom and
a chair.. He placed Zitha on the chair and zip tied her.
We put the shawl around her mouth again so that
when she wakes up, she doesn't scream no escape...
The whole situation was messing me up, For the first
time. I think my husband was slowly being fascinated
by another woman. This Zitha of a human being, she
was a catch no lie. She had thick juicy lips, beautiful
eyes and that "Don't mess with me" facial structure.
Her short hair suited her, not forgetting her beautiful
slim body that she dresses up for perfectly..
I sat on the bed. Kirs came to me, he crouched in
front of me and put his hand on my face..
Kirs: Is jy Ok? (are you Okay)
I nodded multiple times..
Me: Ek is oukei (I'm okay)
Kirs: We'll definitely have you see a Dr when we get
home, for now I can supply you with painkillers
I put my hand ontop of his..
Me: I'm fine
Kirs is all I know, if he falls out of love with me. He
can definitely sell me off to the vultures, I can't
imagine the possibility of Zitha Mothering my
Daughter..
I leaned over and kissed him, he kissed me back..
Me: I want you to make love to me
I said that with our lips still attached to each other..
He leaned back..
Kirs: Are you sure?
Me: We always have crazy sex, I wanna have sex with
her in the room
I don't know what I was saying, but all I knew was
that I won't let this bitch win nor steal my husband..
SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)
I felt someone gently shaking me, it was Rich. He was
in my bedroom, sitting on the bed. I woke up
sweating and hyperventilating
Rich: I heard you screaming from my bedroom
I swallowed..
Me: I probably a nightmare
Rich: For how long have you been having them?
Me: It's been a while now, ever since I got here
Rich: Would it be okay if I lie next to you?
Me: I think I'd like that
He got up and switched off the light then got back in
bed. He laid behind me and cuddled me..
Rich: You safe, I'd never let anything happen to you.
I love you
That came as a shock, I didn't know how to respond.
I just froze and said nothing..
ZITHA MAGASELA
I was woken up but moans, heard people moaning. I
slowly opened my eyes and my vision was still
distorted. My neck was hurting. My head was tilting
over my shoulder, I straightened it and I was dizzy. I
felt some tightness, realized I was tied.
I looked over and I could swear that Kirs and Tshilo
were having sex. She was moaning pretty loud.
These people are not normal, nothing about them is
normal..
I slowly closed my eyes again..
IKER
I pulled up in the driveway, there cop cars, an
Ambulance and an all white van. Rosi rang me, she
was crying and frightened..
I made my way in, with a yellow tape across the door
and some officer standing there.
Officer: You can't go in
Me: My ex scene
Officer: This is a crime scene, no one is allowed to go
in until the forensics team have collected all the
evidence
I peeped through..
Officer: Sir
I heard voices behind me, I turned and the Minister
of Police was here. Menzi Cele.
I am not surprised, this is a high profile case.
Rosi just said MG was on the floor in a pool of blood,
I don't wanna imagine what Zitha is currently going
through right now. She is Daddy's little girl..
PEGGY KUNENE
Me: "Sand prints from that place
She didn't wanna go..
Finding a better a place
Taking heart into a song..
Peggy's gone to Memphis
To try it on her own..
Peggy needs some paper
But Peggy's outta luck.. "
He had turned me over and he had shoved it deep in
my anus, I have never felt this kind of pain when it
came to sex. He was tearing me apart, I could feel
the moist in between my butt. I don't think one could
get an orgasm there, I think I was bleeding really bad
and I could smell sh***t. The room was smelling of
that too, but he continued. He didn't care until he
eventually stop and spat..
Him: You have shit on yourself!
It was my very first time having anal sex..
He placed his hand at the back of my neck and
pressed my face down against the pillow..
Him: You've shit on yourself!!!
He placed his other hand at the back of my neck and
pressed harder against the pillow, suffocating me..
The picture in my mind was that of me singing
"Peggy's gone to Memphis", picturing myself playing
at the bar and how happy I was playing that song for
the first time. That was my happy moment, and it has
now became my escape moment.

ZITHA MAGASELA
We traveled through to Cape Town until we finally
arrived. Kirs didn't inject me anymore for the rest of
the trip, I faked having a bad reaction to the
injection. I made myself shiver, so I was laid down at
the backseats most of the time..
I should probably be hurt by my Father's death but a
part of me was very angry, angry at myself for not
following the lead and my intuition. I could've busted
my Father.. All those kids in the Orphanage, their
blood and Pain created my flashy life. Maybe I
deserve this fate, maybe I deserve to suffer the
karma
These people are running a bigger Ring than I
thought, the flats. It was a big place and I saw some
girls standing at the balcony watching me as I was led
in.. I had my hands tied, a gun pointed at me. Kirs and
the wife didn't come in, the guards at the gate were
the ones who ushered me in to what will be my new
home..
The door was unlocked, and I made my way in..
Guard: Welcome to your new home
He cut the zip ties..
Guard: All that's needed of you is to behave and
abide by the rules that's all
I didn't say anything. He walked out and locked the
door.. I looked at the door for a while, the room was
a bit dark and I heard this beautiful voice..
Voice: "Somebody told me once
That pain is a game we all gotta play
Then why am I in overtime
And sudden death every other day..
I know that for the good of life
There's a price we all gotta pay
But I'll pay 'till I'm poor and I still don't know
What it is to have a good day"
I saw a light switch and went to it, to turn on light..
Voice: Please don't
Me: It's dark in here
Voice: I prefer the dark
I moved away from the switch..
Me: Zitha
Voice: Peggy
I followed the sound of her voice and she was sitting
in a corner..
Me: Can I sit next to you?
Peggy: Okay.. Just don't ask me any questions
Me: Okay
I went and sat next to her..
Peggy: Do you mind if I sing?
Me: No.. You actually have a beautiful voice
Peggy: Thank you
(Silence)
Peggy: "Since everybody knows what it is that I need
to do
Well do me a favor,
Let me worry 'bout me
And you worry 'bout you"
Me: "I don't need no one to put me down
I'm on the ground, can't get no lower
And I don't need no one to hang around an' make me
frown
Just makes me look older"
We continued singing the song together..
SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)
I paced up and down in my bedroom with the
pregnancy test in my hand. The second line was a bit
faint.. I heard a knock, I hid the pregnancy test
behind me..
Me: Come in
Beauty walked in..
Me: Close the door... Close the door
She closed the door..
Beauty: So?
I handed it to her.. She looked at it..
Beauty: You pregnant?
Me: I don't really know
Beauty: You will have to tell him
Me: What? Things are good between us why would I
wanna ruin them?
Beauty: We can't keep this away from him
Me: I don't even know who the Father of this baby is,
if I'm pregnant. Could be Rich, could be Sondezi
Beauty: We have to tell him, if you don't he won't
trust you.. You wanna see your family again right?
I nodded..
Beauty: So you will have to tell him
Me: Okay.. I'll do it when he comes back
THE MENDOZA
Cameras were flashing, Mics very close to me..
Me: I knew working on this, my family was going to
targeted. As I sit here today, my Sister has been
kidnapped. I believe the same people who
kidnapped her, are the ones I'm trying to bust.. If
they watching, I want them to know that I'll be
coming for them with all that I have
Menzi: So far 2 girls have been reported missing.
Sihle and The Mendoza's sister. I would like to say
that we will try our hardest to find them.. It has also
been made clear that Zitha Magasela, the Daughter
of the slained Philani Magasela is nowhere to be
found too. If you have any information about them
please come forward.. No reward this time around
ZITHA MAGASELA
We sang until she kept quiet, and I felt her head on
my shoulder. I let her sleep on my shoulder for at
least 10min. I wanted to switch on the light, this is
ridiculous. Curtains are dark, there's no light coming
in.
I moved and she freaked out..
Me: It's okay, it's just me.. I wanna switch on the light
Peg: Please don't
Me: Apparently I'll be your roommate as it seems, I
can't stay in the dark
Peg: The darkness helps me to not see his face, helps
me to not see the place where I was.. I don't like the
light
I got up and went to switch on the light. I looked at
her and my heart broke, she crawled further back to
the corner. She had bruises and she was naked, I saw
a dress next to the mattress, heels, underwear and
bra. Her face was black, she had ran down her
eyebrow and mascara. Her face was also bruised.. I
slowly made my way to her..
Me: It's okay.. I won't hurt you
I crouched close to her.. I stretched out my hand to
her..
Me: They have a bathroom here right?
She nodded..
Peg: Only cold water
Me: It's okay.. How about we get you clean then get
the room clean so it will be less of a bad memory to
you.. Would you like that?
She nodded..
Me: Come let's go.. You alright
She slowly gave me her hand, I helped her up to her
feet. She felt pain on her left side, on her ribs. She
bent a little..
Me: Come on let's try it
She shook her head..
Me: I'm here.. Come on
She bit her lower lip and stood up straight.
I took off my t shirt and put it on her..
Me: There.. Is that better?
I was left with my bra only..
Peg: Thank you
I saw blood in between her legs..
Me: Let's get you clean then you can wear my t-shirt,
are you okay with that?
She nodded again.. I held her hand and we made our
way to the bathroom, it was Filthy!
We stood at the door..
Me: I'll try to clean the bathtub for you
I went and ran the water and tried to clean it, I
couldn't get it too clean but at least she can bath.. I
sat on the edge and felt the water..
Me: They not bad, imagine it as a pool
Peg: Okay
Me: Come
She limped her way to me, I got up..
Me: Let me help you with that
I took off her t-shirt, then helped her get in the
bathtub.. She held on tight to my arm.
Me: Your body will adjust to the temperature of the
water
She sat down..
Me: There you go
She laid back..
Me: I'll be in the other ro-
Peg: Please don't leave
Me: I'm just in the other room, tidying up
Peg: He's going to come in a-
Me: I'm not going to let anything happen to you, not
if I can help it.. I promise
I got up from the edge of the bathtub..
Me: I won't close the door
Peg: Okay
I walked out..
Me: Still can hear me?
Peg: Yes
I walked over to the mattress, dried blood and
human waste. I wrenched..
Peg: I can't hear you
Me: I'm still here
I looked around and saw a small bucket..
Me: Still can hear me?
Peg: Yes
I went to get it..
Peg: Can you hear me?
Me: Yes
I went over and picked up her dress, it was torn. I
tore a part of it so I can use it to clean
Me: Still can hear me?
Peg: Yes

KIRS BOSCH
Tshilo was busy bonding with Azelea, they were
getting up to their girly things in Azelea's bedroom. I
was in our bedroom just finished taking a shower
after having a lot of sexual thoughts about Zitha. She
did turn me on in a way that, I wanted to fuck her
there. 90% of all the girls we kidnap, they always
scared. Scared of what awaits them, I looked into
Zitha's eyes and she showed no sign of fear but
anger. I understand her anger, if she never knew
about her father's dark secrets I believe she would
be scared. Dead scared.
I wanna be the one to break her first, all that
fiestiness, the heat I wanna break her to a point
where she will never look at another man the same
way ever again.. I have given clear instructions that
she shouldn't be touched as yet..
Tshilo walked in just as I was dressing up.
Tshilo: Going out?
Me: Yes.. I have to meet up with Rich
Tshilo: You guys have never held business meetings
at night before
Me: Since when do you question me?
Tshilo: I'm not questioning you I'm just surprised at
the change of how you handle business
Me: You know what I'm about, you know how critical
my business is. I don't understand the sudden
questionnaire
Tshilo: I w-
Me: Be a good wife.. Bond with Azelea, prepare
dinner.. Do what housewives do, go shopping but
stay out of my business okay?
She nodded..
Me: Good girl!
ZITHA MAGASELA
The flat was a bit better now, it was not spotless but
it was better. Peg was wearing my t-shirt and she had
put on her underwear too. I was wearing her dress,
made it a crop Tee..I moved the mattress and leaned
it against the wall..
Me: All done
Peg: Where are we going to sleep?
Me: In the bathtub
Peg: Everyday?
Me: We have two blankets now, we'll make it work..
We'll get used to it
Peg: I hope so
Not that everything that was happening wasn't
getting to me. I'm that Person who doesn't like to
dwell on situations that I can't change, for now
where we are. I can't change this situation as yet, so
what's the point of being depressed about it? It will
only give me a mental breakdown. I break for Peg
though, knowing that she's here because of my
Father. He was a part of this operation..
Peg: You look familiar
Me: I do?
Peg: Yes
Me: I get that a lot
I moved over and sat next to her on the blanket..
Me: At least you are not in a depressing mood
anymore
Peg: At least I have a roommate, makes it better
Me: Yaa at least
She smiled and nodded looking down..
Me: You beautiful
Peg: Thanks.. You beautiful too
We heard the door unlocking, Peg held on tight to
my arm. One of the guards walked in holding a tray.
Peg hid her face on my shoulder. From how she was
shaking, I realized that this guy probably has a hand
in her being this terrified..
Guard: Dinner time
He placed the tray at our feet..
Guard: Hey Peg
Peg didn't say anything..
I stretched my hand to get the tray, he put his boot
on the tray..
Guard: Peg can bring it closer
Me: I don't think she wants too
Guard: I wasn't talking to you
Me: And I was talking to you
Guard: When the time comes, I can't wait to teach
you a lesson
Me: I look forward to it, the Lady and the Guard
He crouched and I swallowed in fear..
He spat on the soup bowls..
Me: Very mature
He spat on my face..
Me: Very mature again
He got up and stood straight..
Guard: I can piss on it too
Me: I bet you can
He moved back and walked out..
Me: Jerk!
Peg was shivering like a leaf.. I looked at her.
Me: He's gone
She was crying now..
Me: What did they do to you?
Peg: I wanna get out of here.. I can't take this
anymore
Me: Hey.. Look at me
Peg: I can't.. I won't be able too
Me: Look at me
She rose her head up and looked at me..
I wiped her tears..
Me: We going to get out of here
She shook her head..
Me: I will get us out of here.. I promise
Peg: I just wish my Brother could come already
Me: Your Brother?
Peg: The Mendoza
Me: Wait what???
Peg: He's my Brother.. I.. I got here because of that
rich bastard, Philani Magasela.. The MG
I suddenly felt hot, my heart beat picked up.
Me: Look, at least the buns are not tempered with
She looked at them..
Me: We gotta work with what we have
She chuckled through her tears..
Me: When we get out of here, I'm going to kill him
first
Peg: I like your confidence and impossible wishes
Me: Can't hurt to dream right?
Peg: Right
We started eating the buns..
Me: I like your voice, maybe you can sing me
something
Peg: Maybe later
Me: I would appreciate that
She ate the bun with her other hand under my arm,
she didn't wanna let go..
SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)
He looked at the pregnancy stick, and I was dead
worried..
Rich: You pregnant?
Me: I think so, I'm not sure
He kept quiet for a while..
Rich: I'll get a Dr to come tomorrow and give you
something for abortion
Me: Abortion?
Rich: Yes.. You going to abort
Me: I.. I don't know, I don't believe in Abortion
Rich: I wasn't asking you, I was telling you
He walked away..
Me: No
He stopped and turned back looking at me.
Rich: What did you say?
Me: I.. I'm not going to abort
He nodded repeatedly and slowly made his way to
me, he kept his serious stare at me.
He knocked the small table that had a flower vase
ontop of it, and the vase broke. I took a few steps
back until I was against the wall..
He came really close to me and I was scared
Rich: It wasn't a request
I could say something but I was scared.
Rich: Am I clear?
Me: Crystal
Rich: Good
He moved away from me, turned back and walked
away... I was able to breath..
THE MENDOZA
I drove back to Raelynn's home, to her Parents
home. They welcomed me in.
It was her Mother and her Sister..
Mother: We very sorry to hear about your sister
Me: Thank you
Sis: Are you here to ask more questions about
Raelynn?
Me: I know that both of you knows where she stays..
I need her address
They looked at each other..
Me: She's the only clue I have to finding the girls, to
finding my sister.. Please
Sis: We don't know her address, Raelynn always
visited our home
Mother: She never took us to her house
Me: I don't believe you guys are giving me this
bullshit! Raelynn is responsible for the
disappearance of a lot of girls! They have families,
they deserve to go back home. I need to know where
she was staying
Sis: We don't know!
Me: That's bullshit!!!
Mother: I think it's time for you to leave before I call
the station and file a harassment case!
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
I was walking up and down in the lounge busy
drinking wine.. I was down to my 3rd glass. Since
when do you go all out in getting dressed when you
going to meet someone?
I walked up straight to his study and searched
through his things until I found contacts of his
business Partners..
Me: Rich.. Rich... Rich..
I found his number and called him..
Rich: Gustavo?
Me: Uhm.. Hi.. This is Tshilo
Rich: Why are you calling me?
Me: My husband left to see you and.. He forgot his
phone, is he there yet?
Rich: I am not meeting up with Kirs
Me: My mistake.. I'm truly sorry
Rich: It's okay
He hung up..
So Kirs is lying!..
ZITHA MAGASELA
We laid back on the blanket, she laid next to me. Our
heads were on the same pillow. She still had her
hand under my arm, and she was singing me a song
written by her:
"Peggy's gone to Memphis"
Me: Wow that was a beautiful piece
Peg: I was still working on it more
Me: It's really beautiful
The door unlocked again, we sat up straight.
Kirs and the Guard walked in..
Kirs looked at us..
Kirs: Beautiful.. Seems like we bonding, how sweet?
My mood changed..
Kirs: I need to have a word with you
I looked at him..
Kirs: More like a moment with you
Me: I don't think so
Kirs: I'm not asking
(Silence)
Kirs: I guess we have to do this the hardway
He nodded, and the guard walked up to us. He
grabbed Peggy's other arm and lifted her up..
Me: What are you doing?
Peg: No.. No.. Please
He dragged her off me, I got up..
Peg: Please no... Please (crying)
Kirs: Have fun
Guard: Thank you Sir
Peg: Zitha.. No (crying)
She was trying to reach out to me and the guard had
his arm around her waist, dragging her towards the
door..
Me: Okay! Okay! Okay
Kirs: What?
Me: Okay.. We can talk!
He looked at the Guard, the Guard dropped Peg on
the floor. She crawled her way to me,she hugged my
legs tight..
Me: So long he.. So long he doesn't touch her
Kirs: You heard the Lady
Guard: Yes Sir
The Guard walked out, I looked at Kirs..
Me: I need a moment with her please
Kirs: You don't get to order me around
Me: She's scared!
Kirs: I don't care!
Me: Just one minute please
He looked at us and sighed.. He made his way out,
the door was open. He spoke to the Guard, I saw the
guard walking away..
I knelt down and put my hands on Peggy's cheeks..
Me: Hey listen (whispering)
She looked at me..
Me: The Guard is gone, when Kirs comes in. We kill
him okay? (whispering)
Her eyes widened..
Me: I will injure him on his crotch, we search him
through.. Find his gun and pull the trigger then we
get the fuck out of here okay?kill anything that
stands in our way! (whispering)
Peg: Okay..
Me: Okay
Kirs walked back in..
Kirs: This is getting boring
I got up..
Kirs: Let's go
He made his way to me, scared as I was. I saw my leg
landing on his crotch..
Me: Peggy now!

YVONNE (MENDOZA'S PARTNER)
Mendoza is a good FBI agent but good in the field, he
is the muscles we need in danger. He balances the
squad.. One thing I know about him is that he's very
impulsive, he doesn't think rationally. He uses his
emotions to think and that leads him astray most of
the time, that's why he would never work well alone.
I'm very sure that he will never find his Sister, he's
too close to the case. He's investing it with a lot of
emotions, when hurt and anger clouds your
judgment, you are done..
Kirs promised me that he will have my girlfriend
released if I do this for the Gilligan Brothers, I'm
bisexual and fell in love with this girl who is originally
from South Africa. She was working that side and fell
victim to sex trade. Now that I've done my part, I
wanna go back home to reunite with him. I can't
wait..
I feel bad that I'm doing this to The Mendoza, but if
he was in my shoes, I bet he would do the same.. He
was sitting on the couch, foot resting on the table.
Whiskey bottle on the table, Peggy singing on TV.
Think he connected to watch videos of her singing.
He was a mess, he's Sister is trafficked, his Mom is
admitted. It's a lot for him, he's family is broken..
I walked up to him... He moved his eyes from the TV
and looked at me. I went and sat on top of him..
Mendoza: What are you doing?
I took off my t-shirt..
Me: I just want to make you feel better
Mendoza: I am not in the mood Yvonne
Me: Trust me.. The pain will feel better
I placed his hands on my breasts and kissed him..
ZITHA MAGASELA
Kirs went down on his knees, with his hands on his
crotch in pain..
Me: Peg!
I looked over at her and she was standing there,
frozen..
Me: Shit!!!!
Kirs was groaning in pain..
Me: Go stand by the door whilst I search for his gun
She couldn't move an inch.. I walked over to the
door, Kirs grabbed my leg and I fell. I turned to lie on
my back as he tried to climb ontop of me, I kicked
him on the face with my other leg. My sole of my
boot landed on his face, he fell back..
Kirs: I'm going to kill you!!
Me: Peg come hold his hands!
Peg moved over and knelt down pinning Kirs hands
to the ground. I placed my knee on his crotch to
cause more pain as I searched him, fuck he didn't
have a gun! But he didn't have his cellphone,
basically he had nothing useless on him! This was a
nightmare..
Peg: Wh.. What do we do now?
I looked at her..
Me: We run.. Okay?
Peg: Okay.. Okay
We let him go, I looked around and saw the pieces of
fabric that I tore from Peggy's dress. I took the pieces
and tied his hands, then his mouth..
Me: Let's go
Peg put on her heels..
I held her hand and we ran out, we closed the door.
I saw that the guard left the key at the door, thought
Kirs was going to lock after maybe. We locked him
and took the key.
I looked around, it was dark and quiet around the
flats. Probably all the guards are standing by the
entrance..
Me: Let's go
I didn't have a plan, I don't know what we were doing
but we were doing it...
IKER
Rosina was sitting on the couch, busy rocking herself
back and forth. Staring at the wall and saying
nothing.. I can't believe this is happening, MG got
shot and Zitha is missing.. My phone vibrated, I took
it out and looked at it. It was a call from April, I hung
up
I walked over to Rosi, she has been alone in the
house. Door was unlocked. I wonder what's going to
happen now with the team since MG is dead..
YVONNE
he was deep inside of me, and I was going up and
down on him with his hands on my waist squeezing
it. His lips rested on my nipple and his tongue
running in circles around there...
It was a beautiful moment initiated by all the wrong
reasons, my guilty conscience circling around what
happened. What I did, what I was doing to him and
the whole Bearue..
Me: Yes right there (Whispering)
He ran his hands my back, then laid back on the
couch. I placed my hands on his chest, with his
moving down to my butt. Picking it up and moving it
down on him harder than he has ever had in our
history of having sex..
ZITHA MAGASELA
We were able to make it down, our flat is on the
second floor. We were on the ground, hiding off
behind this other building peeping through to see
what was happening at the gate. I counted about 6
guards, all armed.
Me: We just need to make it out of the gate, then the
rest is history
Peg: I don't feel good about this, we will never make
it out
Me: Yes we will.. Yes we will
I looked again..
This plan would've worked if and only if the other
rooms were accessible, we could let all the girls out
and cause a riot to get out of here.. We need to do
this before Kirs gets found, or else we screwed..
KIRS BOSCH
I was rolling on the floor in pain, I underestimated
Zitha. Despite what they trying to do, but they will
never get out of here. They only making things worse
for themselves..
I lifted my hands up to my mouth, they tied my wrists
together. I used my fingers to lower the fabric
around my mouth, then I looked at the one on my
wrists. I used my teeth to untie the knot...
ZITHA MAGASELA
Peg: I'm getting tired of standing
She sat flat down.. I sat next to her..
Peg: Do we know what we doing?
I placed my hand on my forehead and closed my
eyes..
Me: No Peg.. I don't know what we doing
Peg: So basically screwed? Your plan sucks!
Me: You know at least I am trying to do something, I
don't see you trying anything
Peg: We should just surrender
Me: We not surrendering
Peg: You think Kirs is going to stay in there for how
long until they find him? Tomorrow morning they
bring breakfast
Me: And by then we need to be out of that fence
Peg: This is screwed I'm going back to the flat
Me: Peg
Peg: We enough trouble already! Give me the key
Me: No.. I'm not giving you anything
Peg: If you don't give me the key I'm going out there
to them screaming
Me: They will shoot you, they will separate us, is that
what you want?
She folded her arms..
Me: Let me think this through okay?

With no way of getting out of here, I Fustratedly had
to spend a night in this dump. It was smelly and
sickening. Made my stomach turn. I was still in pain,
not forgetting that my wife could be going crazy
now..
I heard someone turning the door handle..
Me: Hey!
Guard: Sir?
Me: You will have to break the door
Guard: You didn't take the key? I left it at the door
Me: The girls escaped!
Guard: What? How?
Me: Don't ask me questions! Find a way to break the
door and fucken ring the bell!
Guard: Yes Sir

Rich was serious about the abortion thing.
A Nurse came over this morning with the abortion
pills. I was instructed to drink two and put one
underneath. She put that one herself, wore latex
gloves and shoved it through. She shoved another
one, and told me to stay in that position to make sure
that I don't push them out. She would check me
every 30seconds to make sure that they still in there
and ain't coming out..
Even the ones I drank she checked my mouth, under
my tongue, just everywhere to make sure that I took
them..
I laid on the bed on my back naked with my legs up.
My eyes filled with tears, we not sure that I'm even
pregnant but I guess Rich didn't want any problems...
The Nurse sat on the chair next to the closed door...
ZITHA MAGASELA
We were woken up by a bell. We had found a secure
corner to sit at and dozed off to an interrupted sleep
through the night. The cold, the mosquitoes. My
throat was even sore and my nose congested..
Peg: What's happening?
Me: I don't know
The bell kept on ringing loud, heard the gate
opening. I got up and peeped through. Saw more
guys coming in, some weren't wearing like the
guards. They were coloureds and looked unsavory.
The guards in uniform that came in, had guns. They
definitely going to search this place until they find us,
there's no getting out..
Me: Shit!
Peg: What's happening?
She walked over to check..
Peg: Ohh my God.. There's no way out
Me: This not happening
Peg: Your plan failed!
We saw two guards approaching our direction..
We can't revert back to the flat, we will be exposed
and they will capture us..
Peg: There's no way out
Me: Fuck!!
Peg: We have to surrender Zitha
Me: Peg
Peg: Do you have a better plan?
Me: No
She held my hand and dragged me through..
Me: Peg wait!
Peg: Don't shoot.. Don't shoot!
Guard: On your knees and hands behind your head!!
We knelt down..
Guard: Don't move!
He was pointing his gun at us..
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
Azelea was eating her cereal waiting for The Fox to
come and get her. She was busy singing and tapping
the bowl with her spoon.
Azelea: "Baby shark doo, doo, doo.. Baby shark doo,
doo, doo.."
I looked at my cellphone again, no text, no call no
nothing from Kirs. I was losing it!
I couldn't even sleep last night. I called him again but
his phone rang unanswered.
Azelea: "Baby Shark doo, doo, doo.. Baby Shark doo,
doo, doo.."
I picked up the glass of wine and gulped it down..
Azelea: "Mommy Shark doo, doo, doo"
Me: Azelea stop it's irritating
Azelea: "Daddy Sha-"
I hit the table..
Me: I said knock it off!!! (yelling)
She stopped..
I sighed..
Me: Where the hell is The Fox? She's running late!
ZITHA MAGASELA
We were uprehended and taken back to the flat. As
we approached the door, I saw the Guard helping
out Kirs. He seemed to be in a lot of pain..
We came to a stop when we came face to face with
him..
Kirs: You don't know what I'm capable of, you will see
why they call me The Gustavo!
I remained quiet and we continued with our walk,
when we passed him I had a smirk on my face..
They threw us in and closed the door, but it wasn't
closing properly and the two guards stood by the
balcony probably waiting for someone to fix the
door..
I turned over and looked at Peg with the Smirk still
on my face..
Peg wasn't happy about this..
Me: We sure did show him! Probably crippled all his
kids
Peg: It's not funny
Me: Peg listen
Peg: No you listen! This might just be a thrill to you
but you gambling with my life!
Me: What?
Peg: This is not a game Zitha
Me: Who's playing? Do you see a soccer jersey on me
saying "Zitha"
Peg: I'm saying if you plan on doing such things don't
include me
Me: I didn't force you! I could've escaped alone
She laughed..
Peg: Escape? You called that an escape?
Me: At least I tried something! I didn't see you trying
anything Peg
Peg: I didn't try anything because you don't know
how it's like here! You don't know how it has been
like for us around here!
Me: I'm sorry.. Next time I'll just sit and let these
bastards torture us, torture you!
Peg: Thank you very much!
Me: Fuck you Peg!! A fucken name you got
Peg: Go to hell!!
I walked to the bathroom and banged the door, then
I laid in the bathtub..
KIRS BOSCH
The Guard was driving me to the Dr using my car, I
was in the passenger's seat.. I checked my phone and
I had 14 missed calls from Tshilo. I sent her a text:
"Something happened, going to the Dr. Don't panic,
talk later"
I hit the dashboard causing myself some pain, I've
been mad before but not this mad.
The beast inside of me was unleashed..
Me: I want them tortured, I want them to lose their
sanity. I want them to break piece by piece without
any hope of ever recovering. I want Zitha in solitary,
nothing but walls. No one is to sexually violate her
but I want her tortured!
Guard: Peg?
Me: I want her tortured too in anyway but don't kill
her we still need her
Guard: I'll send in a word to the senior Guard
MENDOZA
Yvonne: Come on get up!
Me: What is it?
Yvonne: I worked all night and I found a lead
I rose my head from the pillow..
Me: You serious!
Yvonne: Yes!.. Come on get up
Me: Gimme 20 to shower
Yvonne: Hurry!
Me: You did get that morning after pill right?
Yvonne: Yes! Now get ready!
ZITHA MAGASELA
I heard someone bursting in through the door, I had
my eyes closed..
Me: Peg I'm not in the mood!
I heard footsteps, I opened my eyes and it was two
Guards..
Guard 1: Fun time is over!
He dragged me out of the bathtub, and out of the
room.. Peggy was laying on the blanket.
Peg: Where are you taking her?
He dragged me across the floor..
Peg: Zitha
She tried crawling to me but the other Guard kicked
her back on her side. She laid on her back screaming..
Me: It's fine Peg! It's fine!
SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)
I wasn't feeling anything as yet, I turned my head and
looked at her..
Me: I'm not feeling anything
Nurse: Give it time
I turned my head again and continued staring at the
wall.

I was rolling on the bed, the cramps had started.
They started off like Period pains, but picked up
along the way. The were within a space of 10min at
first, but now they were ridiculously picking up really
bad..
Me: I need something for the pain
Nurse: I gave you Paracetamol
Me: It's not working!
Nurse: Can't give you something strong, they will get
better when you excrete everything out
Me: Gosh I need something for the pain, it's really
painful
I was also bleeding profusely and she had given me a
sanitary pad. I think it was full now..
Me: I feel like going to the toilet
Nurse: That's good, let's go to the toilet
She helped me up and we went to the toilet..
ZITHA MAGASELA
I was taken outside to the back. The area had nothing
but poles..
Me: I'm going to strip?
Guard: No
Me: Tied to the pole?
Guard: Something like that
Me: Like a witch being burned at a stake?
Guard: When we done with you, joking will even be
the last thing you do
I saw two Guards coming over holding 2 buckets of 5
liters. They seemed heavy..
Guard: Shall we?
The others nodded..
They put the buckets down and came to me. They
made me stand in the middle of the poles then the
guards came with the buckets
They made me stretch out my arms, then they placed
the buckets in each arm and let go. So the buckets
were hanging on my arms.. The guards tied my hands
to each pole so I could not lower my arms and the
buckets fall.. I have thin arms and I wasn't feeling the
weight at first, the buckets were closed. They had
lids on, now I'm suspecting it's not water inside. It's
probably something else because the buckets
started to get very heavy..
One of the Guards took off my boots, then my jeans.
I was left with my underwear and Peg's dress since I
used it as a t-shirt..
SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)
I got up and flushed, before flushing I checked and
the blood had came out as menstrual clots. Those gel
like blobs of coagulated blood tissue. I had to change
my pad and put another one as this one was full.
My temperature was sky rocket high, in the mist of
all the pain I was feeling dead hot and my breathing
was abnormal, heart racing. I was starting to feel
weak too and disoriented, felt like I was going to die.
I bent over and made my way to the door, The Nurse
held me and walked me back to the bedroom. In a
scale of 10, the pain was 11..
Me: Please.. I need to go to the hospital, this is not
right
Nurse: Life is not right
She helped me back to the bed..
Me: I don't wanna lay in bed, I wanna lay on the floor
Nurse: The floor it is
I laid on the floor with my hands on my tummy. I've
never been in so much pain before
THE MENDOZA
I looked at the empty container..
Yvonne: We are late
Me: How did you get the lead?
Yvonne: Does it matter?
The container was in the middle of nowhere and it
was rusty, looked like it has been here for quite some
time now..
Yvonne: Dammit!! Now we won't find the girls
I looked at her as she walked away.. This made no
sense at all. This container looked like it was used by
homeless people..
I stood there and looked at her, how did she get the
lead? This lead to be more exact?
Yvonne has never been this misled, she's the best
profiler we got. Now allegations that we have a mole
in our department I was starting to believe them. It
can't be Yvonne, I hope it's not Yvonne!!
ZITHA MAGASELA
This was starting to take a strain on me, my arms
were painful, I was starting to feel some pain around
my waist and my legs were getting tired. I tried to
lower my hands so the buckets could fall but I
couldn't. My hands were seriously tied tight to the
poles.
My knees got weak and I was sinking to the ground,
it was not until the Guard started whooping me on
my legs and thighs with a sjambok that I saw how
serious they were.
Guard: Stand still!! You sink down to the ground we
adding more buckets
He kept on Whooping me on my thighs until I
screamed..
Me: How could you? How could you do this to
defenseless women?
That's when the sjambok made it to my upper body.
He was swinging it for dear life that it tore Peggy's
dress that I had on..
No matter how strong you are, this type of pain you
won't be able to stand it..
KIRS BOSCH
The Dr looked at me..
Dr: It will take approximately 3-6 weeks for the
swelling to go away
Me: Any permanent damage done to my testicles?
Dr: This type of trauma can lead to infertility, hence
why we need to do frequent tests after the swelling
to see just how much trauma was caused
Me: Will my performance be affected?
Dr: There's no signs of bleeding or severe trauma I
believe that within that 3 weeks you might be able
to fully recover
I closed my eyes..
Dr: What really happened?
Me: It's a long story.. Do you have to keep me here?
Dr: No.. I will give you instructions on how to treat
the swelling and also some pain killers, at least there
are no signs of bleeding so I believe that no
irreversible damage was caused
I nodded..
Dr: I'll prescribe some meds for you, and then sign
your release form
Me: Thank you
PEGGY KUNENE
My hands were balancing on the edge of the
bathtub, bent over with this Guard behind me
pumping me for dear life. It was a different Guard
this time around, not the same one who usually
violates me..
Tears fell, I didn't think I was going to cry since this is
not happening for the first time but I was wrong. It
all felt as if like it was happening for the very first
time again.
His irritating moans and groaning, how he squeezed
and spanked my ass. How he shoved his tongue deep
in my mouth, it was disgusting. It was very
disgusting..
He pulled out and penetrated me in my anal area, a
breath escaped my lips. The more he shoved it in
deep inside, I tightened my grip on the bathtub and
bit my lower lip until it started bleeding...
ZITHA MAGASELA
I was weak and my arms felt numb now.
My legs were wobbly and I had bruises around my
thighs, some of the bruises were bleeding. How long
will this take? Are they opting to kill me? Because the
one who was whopping me got tied, so another one
took over. How can these Men be so ruthless?
They can clearly see that I was not able to keep on
anymore but they were still going.
I felt the sjambok across my shoulder, I was facing
down and tears were falling. I didn't have the
strength to scream anymore, what's the point of
screaming anyway if no help was due to come? If my
screams weren't making them have mercy?
The one who took over continued whooping me to a
point of blacking out. I couldn't keep on nor hold on
anymore..

SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)
I don't know how I was able to hold on to such
extreme pain until Rich came back. She kept on
giving me Paracetamol, said iboprufen won't work
well since it's a blood thinner. Felt like there was a
chainsaw in my womb mixed with hot burning
flames, I wished for death as the only escape..
Rich threw his weight around when he saw how
much pain I was in, he forced her to give me
something more effective and the last thing I
remember was her giving me an injection. It didn't
take that long for it to kick in. When the pain
subsided, I was able to get some sleep..
ZITHA MAGASELA
When the torturing was done, I had to be dragged on
each arm to the flat. They actually poured water on
me to keep me conscious, but I was barely hanging
on.
My feet were dragging on the ground, leaving a trail
of blood. I couldn't hold my own weight, my whole
body was stripped. Now the girls were leaning over
the balcony looking at me as I was being trailed off,
instead of the flats I was taken to another place.
Isolated from the rest. They threw me on the sponge,
the whole room was spinning. I was disoriented.
I heard them talking, but I couldn't hear what they
saying. Following that, I heard the door being shut
and locked. It was a steel door.
The light bulb couldn't provide much light, darkness
also lingered through..
I felt my leg being dragged, then both my legs being
separated. It was not rocket science, to realize that I
was about to be sexually violated..
I had no fight in me, I was weak to fight and it was at
that point I let go. Let them do what they wanted to
do..
The filth of it all, was that it was two of them violating
me. When one was deep inside, one shoved his dick
far down my throat I actually gagged. He squeezed
my cheeks and forced himself to fuck me in and out
of my mouth.
My facial muscles couldn't help, I wanted to bite him
but his grip on my cheeks made it difficult. When he
saw that I was struggling to breath, he took it out..
They swapped, when the other one was tired of
fucking, he would let the other one do it. Until both
of them indulged on me. One laid on the mattress
and I was picked up and placed on him. He forced
through his shaft from underneath, the other one
came over to penetrate me through my anal area.
Double pain endured, painful and very
uncomfortable.. The sensitivity I felt inside when his
dick touched a place that was highly sensitive made
it more unbearable, not forgetting the one who was
forcing through it in my anal area. Tight as the area
is, he kept on pushing in deeper with nothing but
force that made me feel like, I won't be able to hold
my human waste after this. Two Men doing this to
you, holding you tight, having a strong arm grip
around your neck.. How do you fight? How do you
fight them off? How do you fight when your whole
body is still aching? When the bruises were fresher
than a baked loaf of bread? With every moan from
them, every thrust, every grip, every squeeze a part
of me was taken away. A part of me that I'll never get
back. Not only physically but mentally too. My sanity
was being taken from me, I will never be the same
again. The scream I let out, came from a place of
pain. My throat was sore and my voice was scratchy.
I've been screaming since from when they did the
bucket thing, and they taking out my last scream
with what they were doing...
PEGGY KUNENE
I sat on the bathroom floor, at the corner. Tears were
streaming down without me even trying hard. I kept
on scratching myself hard until my skin peeled off
from certain areas. I wanted him out of me, his scent,
his sweat, his nasty breath mixed with cigarette... I
wanted it all out!
My lower lip was still bruised and bleeding, I have
been biting it ever since he started violating me. The
pain I was feeling from that, the physical pain.
Soothed the emotional pain that I was feeling deep
inside..
I heard footsteps.. I placed both my hands against my
ears and started screaming..
Me: Get away from me!! Get away from me!
I heard footsteps only but couldn't see him, I heard
his groaning and his moans ringing right in my ears. I
moved back until I couldn't, until the wall pushed
against me. I was pushing against it wanting it to
open so it could swallow me, but it wasn't opening.
Me: Get away from me!! Please don't hurt me
again!!.. I can't take this anymore!! I can't (crying)
I closed my eyes with my hands still against my ears,
rocking myself back and forth..
Me: Get away from me please!!! Don't touch me!!
Don't touch me again.. I can't take it anymore
(crying)
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
My heart was at Peace when Kirs was walked into the
house..
Me: Thank God!
He was walked in by one of the Guards, I was in the
kitchen preparing dinner.. I wiped my hands and
went to them..
He stopped me with his hand before I could get
closer..
Me: Are you okay? What happened?
Fabio the Guard placed the medicinal package on the
counter..
Kirs: I'm good
Fabio: I have to go back, I have to go back to the flats
Me: Thank you so much Fabio
Fabio: You welcome
He walked out..
Me: Are you fine?
Kirs: I'll be fine
Me: Do you want anything?
Kirs: Open the package, there's a pad. Placed it in the
fridge but it shouldn't be too cold, then bring it to me
in the bedroom
Me: Okay I'll do that
He limped his way back to the bedroom.. I wonder
what happened..
THE MENDOZA
Yvonne was busy showering, I walked over to check
her phone. Fingerprint unlock, I moved over to her
laptop. I put in her password but it was incorrect,
that was strange and suspicious. We know each
other's passwords, why did she change her
password?
I closed the laptop and looked around, I wiped my
face with my hands. I thought for a while, until
something struck me..
Maybe if I can make an announcement that I am
stepping down from working on the cases it could
work to my advantage, could probably make them
less alert. It's a risk I have to take, with each second,
minute, and hour wasted. Peggy's life could be more
and more in danger...
IKER
Zitha was officially a missing Person now.
With the Police on the case, I decided to hire a PI.
With the rate of how women are being killed and
trafficked, her life is very much in danger..
Me: Those are her pictures
PI: She's beautiful
Me: She is.. Can you do it?
PI: I'm going to need some light shed
Me: I don't know what happened, I wasn't there. Her
Step Mother wasn't there, we have nothing
He leaned back on his chair..
PI: It's going to be difficult I don't wanna lie
Me: Please find something, I fear for her
PI: I'll try but it's going to cost you
Me: I know.. Money is not a problem, just find her
PI: I'll try my best
ZITHA MAGASELA
When they were done, my whole body was numb. I
couldn't move, couldn't feel my limbs...
They put the blanket over me, messy as I was and
then they walked out. Locking the door behind them
and switching off the light
Now I get to see why Peg preferred the darkness
over the light, helps you to not see things that you
don't wanna see. Faces that you don't wanna recall,
and events that you don't wanna re-live..
I let it all out, I cried. I'm not much of a cry baby, but
this time I couldn't hold it in.
Me: No!!!!!!!
Wanted to scream ontop of my lungs but my voice
failed me.. It limited me from a loud scream..
Me: No!!! No!!!! No!!!!
I closed my eyes and I could still picture them doing
what they were doing to me. It disgusted me to my
core, I wanted to die. I wanted to escape this trauma
with death.
How do you live after this? How do you continue?
There's no life after this. There's nothing to rebuild,
nothing to fix! Some other things you can't heal
from. You can't work through them, when you die in
this manner there's no coming back..
PEGGY KUNENE
The room was quiet once more, I moved my hands
from my ears and opened my eyes. I looked around
and I was alone, I was alone.
I hugged myself..
Me: Shhhhh.. He's gone.. He's gone
I placed my finger on my lips..
Me: Shhhh Peg we have to be quiet, don't make a
sound Peg. If we make a sound he will find out
I nodded repeatedly..
Me: Shhhh.... Shhhh... Shhhh... We just need to be
quiet until Zitha comes back and she will take us out
of here but no one has to know about the plan.. No
one has to know or they will catch us
I chuckled and shrugged my shoulders..
Me: No one has to know that we wanna get out, no
one has to know

THE MENDOZA
I woke up today and prepared myself for the day.
Today I have to go and fetch my Mother from the
hospital, she was getting discharged. My Mother's
mental state is not good, ever since my Father and
Peggy's father. Two failed relationships almost drove
her insane, she went clinically insane. Now with Peg
gone, she slid into that dark hole of depression again.
It was hard on me, losing them I would lose my
family. They the only family that I have, that I know..
I made my way to the living room when I was
stopped by Yvonne's voice. She was probably on the
phone. I stood there and eavesdropped..
Yvonne: I did what I was meant to do and I hope you
will release her... I betrayed the whole FBI, I betrayed
a friend.. You don't know how I feel, I just wanna get
out of here and go back home... I will wait for your
call
I turned back and walked to the bedroom..
SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)
The cramps weren't as bad as yesterday, but they
were still there though they gave me stronger pain
killers...
Beauty walked in with my tray of breakfast.
Beauty: Good morning
Me: Morning
Beauty: How are you feeling?
Me: Better than yesterday
She put the tray on the bed..
Beauty: Take it this way, if you were pregnant it was
still very early. It was not a baby yet just a ball of
blood or so. So basically the baby wasn't killed
I looked at her..
Beauty: It was caught early before it progressed
Me: Beauty we not talking about menstrual blood
here, we talking about a baby here
Beauty: Did you see the baby? Did the baby come
out?
Me: No.. Just blood clots
Beauty: Sihle, Rich doesn't want babies. His in a very
dangerous operation and having a kid in his line of
work is very dangerous
Me: I see
I got out of bed..
Me: I have to bath
PEGGY KUNENE
The door opened and the usual guard walked in with
food..
Him: Good morning Peg
Me: Good morning
He placed the tray before me..
Him: How are you?
I kept quiet..
Him: I'll come and get the tray later
Me: Wait
He looked at me..
Me: Where is Zitha?
Him: She's in solitary
Me: What we did was wrong.. Can't she come back?
We realize that what we did was wrong
Him: I don't call the shots
Me: I'm not asking you to break me out
Him: I'll see what I can do
Me: Yesterday I learnt a lesson
Him: What do you mean?
Me: One of the guards he.. He raped me almost the
whole day
Him: What?
Me: Nothing new
Him: Did you see who it was? How he looked?
Me: Thank you for the food
(Silence)
Him: Zitha!!
He walked out..
KIRS BOSCH
I called Fabiano, he's my right hand man and in
charge of the Guards..
Fab: Sir
Me: How are things going there?
Fab: Things are okay, Sir can I take back that girl Zitha
back to the flat?
Me: Why?
Fab: The torture I feel like they have learned their
lesson
Me: You think so?
Fab: I pledge my life to guard them so they don't
repeat what they did
Me: We can try that
Fab: Thank you Sir
I hung up.. That was strange..
Tshilo walked into the bedroom..
Tshilo: Can I make you breakfast?
Me: Yes please
Tshilo: I wanted to go to the flats but I don't know if
it's wise to leave you alone
Me: I'll be fine
Tshilo: Are you sure?
Me: Yes
Tshilo: Okay
ZITHA MAGASELA
I was shivering really bad and my whole body was
aching. I vomited a few times and I had a terrible
headache..
I heard the door opening, my heart raced.
I heard footsteps nearing.. The person lowered the
blanket..
Me: Please.. Don't do it again
He parted my legs..
Me: Please
He placed his hands on the entrance of my coochie,
I flinched..
Him: Shiiiiit!!!
He rolled the blanket on my aching bruised body and
lifted me up.. I screamed..
Me: Ahhhhh!!!
He walked out with me..
THE MENDOZA
I was sitting on the bed busy punching my hand with
my other hand. Yvonne walked in.
Yvonne: Good morning
I looked at her..
Me: Good morning
Yvonne: How are you?
Me: I'm good and you?
Yvonne: I'm good too
I got up from the bed..
Yvonne: Going somewhere?
Me: I'm fetching my Mother from the hospital
Yvonne: Ohw yes
Me: Ya
Yvonne: The Cap called this morning
Me: Yes?
Yvonne: I have to go back
Me: We not done
Yvonne: I am needed that side
I nodded..
Me: I understand
PEGGY KUNENE
The door opened and the Guard walked in carrying
Zitha..
Him: Put the mattress on the floor
I got up and put the mattress flat on the floor and he
slowly placed her on the mattress.
She was shivering..
Me: She needs medical attention
Him: No
Me: She's going to die
Him: I can't get her medical attention
Me: Medical supplies?
Him: Peg
Me: She's going to die! Please.. She's the only friend
I have here
Him: Okay I'll see what I can do
Me: Thank you
He walked out.. I looked at Zitha, he was in a very
bad shape..

[A MONTH LATER]
I had fully recovered from my ordeal. Was good to
know that I still get an erection and my performance
has not been affected.
I haven't been at the flats ever since my incident with
Zitha, not because I didn't wanna go there but
because I had to check if things were fine on the
other side. Since the death of MG, I have to make
sure that loyalty still runs deep within us..
I stood there and looked at them...
Me: I know how difficult this is, the Passing of MG.
Who was a very dedicated member of the Gilligan
Brothers. Please believe me when I tell you that his
death was necessary, his death was very necessary
because if he didn't die then we wouldn't be here
today.
Every member was around, even members from
distant provinces. This was a very important meeting
for us...
Me: Even Raelynn she had to go and her husband
too, if these people didn't go then it would've been
a problem to us and for us...
They looked at me..
Me: We are running a very critical operation, one
slip, one mistake we are done. Everything we've
worked hard for goes down the drain. Anyone who
will takeover will come for our families. Our wives
and kids, is that what we want? When our families
don't have us to protect them they done!
I saw Rich nodding..
Rich: We all know the implications and
consequences of not being true to the code, we
knew what we were getting ourselves into. If you
can't keep your family in line, then we will have the
operation strained. Then you will have to be taken
out, we all know what we were getting ourselves
into. Kirs has been with his woman for years, she has
been loyal so far why can't we do the same? Keep
our women in line? If you can't keep your woman in
line then you not worthy to be a Gilligan Brother
Me: All that I do is for the Brotherhood, I will protect
it even if it means taking anyone out from my crew
They nodded..
Me: Gentleman, Menzi will take care of the murder
case and close it. MG's murder case and his Daughter
missing both cases will go cold
Khosa: What about The Mendoza?
Me: We have his Sister so he has to play by our rules!
We are unstoppable gentlemen. No one will ever
bring us down, we run this shit
They nodded..
Me: A toast to the Brotherhood
They all raised their glasses..
All: To the Brotherhood

I never thought that I was going to physically recover
from what happened to me, I came face to face with
death and I thought that I was done. Fabiano played
a huge role in my getting better, sneaking in meds
from pain killers to antibiotics so my wounds don't
get an infection to an antiseptic and bandages. He
even brought me clothes..
I don't know why he did that, why he helped us. This
whole experience has made me not to trust anyone,
why is he being nice? He works for Kirs, he has
sexually violated Peggy before. He's a monster and
that's that.
I was standing at the balcony, now we get fresh air
at least twice a week. Guards will stand at the
balcony making sure we don't escape, the fresh air is
usually for 15min.
I wasn't 100% well, but at least I was feeling better. I
was up from the mattress walking
As I was standing there minding my own, I saw Tshilo
and another girl standing at the balcony but not in
our block, another block.
There wasn't any guards there nor were there other
girls. It was just them..
I looked at them until they noticed me, I was a bit far
to read her face. I clenched my jaws.
How does a woman do this to another woman? Why
hasn't she reported her husband? Yes Kirs is
dangerous but I'm sure she knows him too well now.
She knows his weaknesses..
Peg came to me..
Peg: Hey
She also played a big role in my getting better. She
was the one taking care of me..
Me: Hey
My eyes were still glued on Tshilo..
Peg: Why don't they have guards keeping an eye on
them?
Me: Because the dark skinned one is married to Kirs
Peg: Are you sure?
Me: She's the reason why I'm here
Peg: She's in on it? How come? She's a woman, she
shouldn't be doing this to another woman
Me: Peg this world is cruel, you can't trust anyone..
Not even me
Peg: I trust you
She doesn't know who I am, doesn't know that my
Father is the reason why she's here. I don't have the
heart to tell her, she's the only friend I have around
here. Can't lose her..
Me: Come on, let's go back in
Peg: Ohw yes.. I have written a song that I want you
to hear
I put my arm over her shoulders as we went back in..
Fabiano bought her a note book and pens, she has
sunk in deep into writing songs. I'm not complaining
because that's her coping mechanism it helps her
fight her nightmares...
SIHLE (ZITHA'S ASSISTANT)
Today I wasn't feeling very well, and I mean that
emotionally so. Woke up missing my family, my life
and everything that I've knew.
Beauty: You doing it wrong
I threw the plastic mat on the table..
Me: This is stupid!
Beauty: You were coming along well, you halfway
there
I sighed..
Beauty: What's wrong? Today you not in a good
mood
I kept quiet..
Beauty: I know it's hard for you, I understand how
you feel
Me: Do you? Because all we've been doing lately is
knitting!
Beauty: So what do you wanna do? Depress yourself
everyday?
Me: You have a bit of power around here, you go out
when you want.. Why haven't you done something?
Beauty: What can I do? What exactly can I do?.. Do
you know how powerful these people are? Do you
think I like this?
Me: Then do something!
Beauty: Do what? I'm here trying to help you! Trying
to make your life here bearable! You acting like I'm
the one who kidnapped you
She got up and left the room...
THE MENDOZA
Today I was doing the press conference..
It was televised, and journalists were in the room..
Me: I.. About a month ago I pledged that I would help
out with the missing cases of women and children. It
was not until my only Sister was taken that I realized
how dangerous this is.. With that being said, I'm
stepping down, I'm going back to DC
A noise erupted in the room..
Me: I've disappointed South Africa I know, and I'm
sorry. I guess I bit off more than what I can chew
Journa: You are an FBI, you carry more experience
and Intel.. How is this difficult for you?
Me: I'm not a God and it seems like we are up against
a dangerous operation
They all asked questions at the same time.
I looked over and saw Yvonne and Menzi chit
chatting..
I have unreasonable doubt now that Yvonne is
working with or for this people. I need to play this
smart...
ZITHA MAGASELA
I was from the bathroom and when I was about to
walk out, I heard Peg talking. She wasn't singing, she
was talking and giggling as if like she's having a
conversation with someone.. I stood at the door and
peeped..
She was laying on the mattress on her stomach, with
the notebook close to her and a Pen..
Peg: Not so loud, Zitha will hear us
She looked over on her side like someone else was
laying next to her..
Peg: Shhh or she'll think that I'm crazy
She continued writing on her book..
Peg: I'll write a few lyrics and then you'll tell me what
you think
I walked back to the bathroom and sat on the toilet
seat.. Peggy is losing her mind, there's no doubt
about that!
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
After seeing Zitha I walked over to one of the
Guards..
Me: Hey
Him: Mrs Bosch
Me: Can I talk to you?
Him: Uhm.. Yes
Me: Those girls who were standing over there did
you see them?
Him: Yes
Me: Are they being treated like the other girls in that
block?
Him: I'm not at liberty to say
I looked at his name tag..
Me: Victor?
He looked at me..
Me: If you don't tell me, I'll tell my husband that you
tried to have your way with me
He looked at me..
Me: It's your choice
Victor: I don't wanna get in trouble
Me: I won't say anything
Victor: The Boss.. He.. He gave clear instructions that
the girls shouldn't be touched anymore
I nodded..
Me: I see.. Thank you
He gave me a nod and walked away..
KIRS BOSCH
Rich interrupted me as I was looking at Zitha's
photos, I saved them to my phone from her
Facebook.. I put my phone away.
Rich: You know I always have your back right?
Me: Yes
Rich: I need to know that you won't come after me
Me: Rich you are one of my faithful partners, I know
you wouldn't turn and betray the Brotherhood
He nodded..
Rich: It's good to know you have my back
Me: I'll always have your back, so long you have mine
Rich: Always!

There is nothing that kills you like Emotional and
mental anguish. Where my physical body was
healing, my mental state and emotional state wasn't
healing. I spend most nights just sitting staring in the
dark and shivering. The nightmares of that day play
out in my mind frequently like a terrible dream. I sob
in silence to not wake Peg up, I lose my shit in silence.
I never knew the depths of the pain inflicted in your
soul by being sexually violated. I always took it lightly
because it never happened to me, I used to ask that
it's been years why doesn't the Person heal? Until it
happened to me.
It made me feel dirty, made me feel guilty. Made me
think that maybe it's happening to me because of
what my Father has done to these girls. That I
deserve the same pain too.
He never thought of me when he did this? That one
day these Devils would turn on him? Is money that
much important to a Person that they would do such
shit? Deep dark shit?? Peg is here because of my
Father!
She has lost all touch with reality, lost all touch with
who she used to be because of this Man. A man who
had a Daughter!
I almost jumped from my place of sleep when I heard
the door unlocking. My heart beat on my throat,
palms sweaty and my chest closing in on me. The
light went on, it was Kirs. I remember our last
encounter, it wasn't sweet. He glanced down at me..
Kirs: We need to talk again!
Seeing what this man is capable of, I didn't feel like
pissing him off more. I know he has a soul but it's
dark..
I got up and put on my flops, then made my way to
him..
Kirs: No protesting? That's a first
I walked out and stood outside, he locked the door..
Kirs: Will I have to use reinforcement with you?
Me: No
He looked at me..
Kirs: Okay
I walked with him to wherever he was taking me..
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
I know that my husband is not out on some late
business meeting. He had changed to his casual
wear, and there's only one place where he is. When
he came back that day injured, his injury was
because of a woman I know. 90% of the time, only a
woman can hurt you like that..
I was walking up and down in the lounge holding a
glass of whiskey. I needed something strong,
definitely wine wasn't going to cut it out..
I thought about all the things that these girls are
going through, if my Husband falls out of love with
me and falls in love with that B**
She's going to come live my life, inherit everything
that I have. Possibly even raised my Daughter..
By then there's a higher chance that Kirs will feed me
off to the dogs, and there's nothing I can do about
it.. This Bitch has to go! Zitha has to die and I'll make
sure it happens..
ZITHA MAGASELA
He took me down to the Solitary confinement. My
fear came back again, I don't wanna be here.. I don't
wanna be in this room again..
It didn't look like how it did back when I was here.
Now it had a bed, a table and a few things. Looked
like a sex room, he had it planned out like that. The
bed had clean white sheets, there was a chair. I saw
some straps hanging off from the ceiling..
The table consisted of different things, from a whip
to handcuffs, vibrators, Dildos..
He really had the work done, but the memories
there's nothing that can be done to remove that..
My knees were already weak as I made my way in,
when he shut and locked the door my heart jumped.
I am familiar with that sound.
Kirs: This is where we will be talking
I looked at him.. I swallowed..
Kirs: I really want to enjoy this.. So
He took out a little plastic that contained a white
powder. I've never done coke in my life before..
He walked over to me..
Kirs: Take this
I stretched out my hand to him and took it.
Kirs: It's not coke exactly don't worry
I looked at it..
Kirs: Just take half of the powder, it tastes sweet so
it won't cause you to vomit
I sat down on the bed, he leaned against the wall
with his leg raised up and his foot pushing against the
wall..
I opened it and tasted the powder, it did taste sweet.
I poured it in my mouth, all of it. Melted it and then
swallowed
He raised his eyebrow, then he looked at his watch..
Me: What now?
Kirs: We wait a bit
I hope it drugs me to the point of passing out,
because what he wants to do with me in this room I
don't wanna be a part of it and I mean that
mentally...
THE MENDOZA
I watched her as she finished packing up, she was
leaving tonight. Flying back to DC..
Yvonne: I am so sorry about the case
Me: You did your best
She yawned..
Yvonne: I don't know why I suddenly feel so tired
Me: We've been working hard on this case, only had
partial rest
She nodded repeatedly as she yawned again.
Me: You'll be okay?
Yvonne: Yes I think so
Me: Come.. You'll sleep in the car as I drive you to
the airport
Yvonne: Okay
When we got back from the press and ate, I slipped
it 3 sleeping pills to her drink. She won't make it to
the airport.. On the drive to the airport she'll
definitely pass out in the car, then I'll make a U-turn.
I have prepared the basement just for her...
ZITHA MAGASELA
I was starting to feel some type of way. I started
feeling very horny. My blood was boiling with sexual
pleasure, my coochie felt hot and I think I was getting
wet. You know when you have sex and about to hit
an orgasm? And I mean good sex? I was feeling
almost the same, couldn't even sit still kept on
crossing my legs. He looked at me and my
temperature was picking up, I was burning up.. I
started to take off my clothes in hopes of making my
body cooler...
I took off the t-shirt and I didn't need to take off a bra
because I wasn't wearing any..
I then took off the leggings I was wearing, I was only
left with my underwear. My hand moved down to
my underwear and I started rubbing my hand against
my coochie with my underwear still on. I kept on
rubbing myself until I felt my underwear getting wet.
How could I be releasing so much juices? What was
in that powder that's making me this very horny?? I
took off my underwear and it was when I placed my
hand against my coochie, indeed it was hot and very
wet down there. I placed both my feet on the bed
with my legs wide open.. I started rubbing myself
hard and moved down to my vaginal hole and
inserted two fingers down there finger fucking
myself really bad..
Me: Ohhhhhh my goodness!! What did you do to
me?
I bit my lower lip hard as I continued, he took out his
cellphone and took a video...
SIHLE
Rich and I were having dinner, it's always quiet
around the dinner table but tonight it was worse.. I
was sitting across him..
I kept on stealing glances at him..
Rich: You want to say something?
I shook my head..
Rich: Then stop stealing glances at me
(Silence)
Me: Are you ever going to release me?
He looked at me..
Me: I miss my family, I just wanna know how they
doing
Rich: You never going to see them, make peace with
that
I've been doing everything that Beauty told me to do,
but this man is still not releasing me!..
Me: My Mother is a very sick Person I'm sure my
disappearance has taken a toll on her.. I just want her
to hear my voice, I just wanna hear her voice
Rich: People die everyday, it's normal. It's how life is..
Make peace with it
I felt the anger deep inside of me building up.
I got up from the table..
Rich: We not done eating
Me: I lost my appetite
Rich: Get it back
Me: People lose their appetite, it's normal.. Make
peace with it!
He looked at me and I looked at him, I took my glass
of wine and walked to my bedroom..I thought he
was going to follow me, but he didn't...
THE MENDOZA
I looked at Yvonne passed out on the passenger's
seat. I made turn and drove back to the house.. We
weren't that far off, just 15min away from home..
My Mother is definitely in bed by now, her meds
make her sleep peacefully through the night..
I stretched my hand over and took her cellphone, I'll
use her fingerprint to unlock when I have strapped
her to the chair..
ZITHA MAGASELA
He ended up making me work myself on the dildo.
He sat on the chair and videorize every moment of
what I was doing.
His face turned red, his temperature also picked up
and his trousers at the front showed that his crocth
was now aching.
The dildo was providing some relief, it felt really
good. The dildo was attached on the table, I couldn't
pick it up so I literally had to go up and down on it.
My knees balanced on the table and it was seemingly
strong to take up all my weight.. I released more
juices as it helped me with my suffering. I kept on
pinching my nipples as I went up and down
mourning, he rubbed his face with his hand as he had
started sweating...

VHUTSHILO BOSCH
I was going insane. It's been hours since Kirs came
back from his meeting and left again. A big part of
me wanted to go ahead and go to the flats but I was
scared, if I just show up there Kirs will slaughter me
alive!..
I always thought that I was a done deal for him,
thought he would never find someone who would
tolerate half of the shit that he does. I guess I was
wrong, the same he got me is the very same way he
could get someone else and replace me. I didn't
know how much I loved my husband until now, I
don't know any other love but the one he has given
me. I don't think I'll ever be happy with someone else
other than him, he's all I've known..
I wanted to call but I was scared, Kirs hates it when I
get clingy or when I keep tabs on him
The thought of what he's doing to her shattered my
heart into a million small pieces, my pillow was wet
with tears..
ZITHA MAGASELA
After that little bit of fun I had with myself and all by
myself, Kirs decided to join in.
I did come as I was busy with the dildo but even after
coming, I still felt mad horny..
I was kneeling down and he was standing, totally
naked. I really liked how thick his crotch was, I have
always been the one for gifted guys. It was a bit
shorter than your usual dick, but the thickness of it
can really fill up the inside of a coochie.. I was giving
him a BJ, with my other hand I couldn't stop
massaging my clit. My other hand that had a grip
around his crotch, I kept on pulling it and sucking it
at the same time. He had a full grip on my hair, and
he instructed me to look him in the eye and I took all
of him in..
That went on for a while until he brought me up, he
wrapped his hands around my waist and kissed me
on the neck. I moved his hand down to my coochie..
Kirs: You really wet
His touch turned me on more than my own touch
did, when he snuck in his 2 fingers deep inside of me
I lost my breath.. He brought his lips back to mine..
Kirs: You soaking wet
I was at his mercy and I wanted him deep inside of
me, so much that tears streamed down.. We kissed
with him still fingering me, moved my thigh high up
on him and down as the kiss was mixed with a moan.
When he broke the kiss I pulled his lower lip..
He shoved his fingers very deep inside, I moved my
hand up from his neck to his head and grabbed his
hair in the middle..
Kirs: You want me that bad?
He spoke very close to my lips..
Me: Ahaaa
He removed his fingers from deep inside and lifted
my thigh up so it could be at the same level as his
waist..
Kirs: Keep it there okay?
Me: Okay
I felt him sliding it in..
Me: Ohhh my word!!
Kirs: Shiiiiit
Me: Yes please!! Please yes!!
Kirs: You very wet.. I like it (whispering)
He held my thigh against him and with his other
hand, he squeezed my butt more closer to him to
slide in fully... He took out the most vulnerable
moan, felt his whole body trembling as he started
pumping in and out.
Kirs: This feels nice
When he continued pumping I tightened my grip on
his hair, we stared at each other in the eye and kissed
again..
Me: Please fuck me
He picked me up and moved with me, to pin me
against the wall. I put my hands around his neck and
he started fucking me..
I never knew a man could moan loud like that until I
heard Kirs moaning.....
THE MENDOZA
I tied her to the chair, making sure that she doesn't
escape. She was still deep in her sleep, I used her
finger to unlock her phone.
We hardly use the basement, there's just a lot of
unnecessary tools down there and things that we
don't use much..
The light bulb didn't provide the room with light, just
a bit to make you comfortable.
I checked her phone, her whatsapp messages were
just between her and a couple of people that were
close to her. Family, friends, and colleagues. I
checked her text messages and there was nothing, I
checked her contact list and there wasn't any contact
that seemed suspicious..
I sighed and looked at her.. Smart little bug, she
probably cleared everything because her operation
is done.. Someone from the operation has to call her
eventually, it can't be fully done because she hasn't
gotten her end of the deal..
ZITHA MAGASELA
My hands were strapped. He used the straps that
were dangling from the ceiling..
He was whipping my ass with the leather strip. It was
painful, it stung at first but since I was boiling with
pleasure it ended up turning me more. It was pain
mixed with anger..
The whipping didn't stop my tears, I only screamed
when the whip came in contact with my skin.. Made
him groan and clench his Jaws. He still had an
erection, and the sight of his his stiff cock made me
want him
He had promised that if I hold off on the whipping he
will fuck me again, and I wanted that badly. I was
willing to take the pain just to get a taste of him
again.. He put the whip back on the table and stood
in front of me, playing with his cock. Giving himself a
handjob just to tease me, my tears streamed down
more. My body trembled and I tried to get off the
straps but I couldn't..
He came closer and wrapped my legs around his
waist, I locked him in tight. Then he entered me
again, I looked up at the ceiling.
Me: Ohhhhhh yesss!!
He ran his tongue around my nipple, then in between
my breasts..
Me: Yesssssssss Kirs yes fuck me
He squeezed my ass with his hands, I flinched. That
area was still burning. He fucked me whilst spanking
me hard inflicting more pain. My moan was mixed
with pleasure. It turned him on more that he went
and bit my nipples...
PEGGY KUNENE
I stretched my hand to my side and it was empty.
Usually when I do that my hand would land on Zitha.
The light was on and she wasn't next to me..
I looked around..
Me: Zitha???
It was quiet..
I got out of the matress and went to the bathroom,
she wasn't there. I freaked out..
Me: Zitha???
Voice: She's gone, she escaped without us
I shook my head..
Me: No.. She wouldn't leave us behind
Voice: Then where is she?
I don't know how but I have this new friend, another
me. She looks exactly like me but seems a whole lot
stronger..
I got out of the bathroom and went to the door, I
tried opening but it was locked. I banged against it
crying..
Me: Zitha!!!!!!!
Her: She's gone Peg
I sank down on the door crying..
Me: She wouldn't leave us (crying)
Her: I told you long time ago, the only way out of this
is to kill yourself
I placed my hands against my ears..
Me: No.. Suicide is wrong, suicide will send me to hell
Her: Suicide will make us to be together, don't you
wanna see Lu again? Do you want them to keep on
doing this to you? It's killing you! The only way out of
this is death!
Me: No!! Get away from me
Her: Peg don't you want us to be together? I'm the
only friend you have.. I'm you!
Me: Suicide is wrong.. Suicide is wrong..
Her: Remember that plastic knife we put away? It's
time to use it!
Me: No.. I can't do it.. Zitha said we shouldn't commit
suicide, she said we the only ones we have here
Her: Wake up! She's gone.. She left you all alone!
She's not coming back, you have no one! You are all
alone!! No one is coming for you
I crawled to the bathroom..
Me: Get away from me!! Get away!!
I crawled in and closed the door.. I pressed against it
so she doesn't come in..
Me: Go away!!!
Her: Don't you wanna go to Memphis?
Me: Memphis?
I stopped pressing against the door..
Her: "Sand prints from that place
She didn't wanna go...
Trying to find a better place
Taking heart into a song..
Peggy's gone to Memphis
Trying to find another home..
Peggy needs some paper
But Peggy's outta luck.."

ZITHA MAGASELA
I woke up the following morning with a slight
headache. I was sleeping on a bed, with white sheets
and covers. I looked around while yawning and I was
in the solitary confinement, naked in bed. I was also
wet down there, had a feeling that I was sexual
violated. I sat there and tried to recall everything
about yesterday, It was a bit blurry but I do
remember some parts of what happened last night.
My nipples were sore too, I remember that Kirs had
intercourse with me. More like drugged me and
raped me
I got out and started dressing up, I walked to the
door and tried to open. It was locked..
Just when I was walking to the bed, the door
unlocked and opened..
Fabiano: Good morning
Me: Good morning
Fabiano: Let me take you back to your flat
I walked out...
SIHLE
I woke up this morning and prepared myself for the
day. It's funny how I prepare for the day when I don't
even go anywhere..
I went to the living room and breakfast was already
prepared. I sat down..
Rich walked in. His newspaper was already on his
side of the table..
Rich: Good morning
Me: Morning
He sat down.. He took his paper and looked at me..
Rich: You still mad?
I shrugged my shoulders..
Rich: Come here
I looked at him..
Rich: Come here
Me: No
He gave me a serious look..
I got up and made my way to him, he moved his chair
a bit away the table and instructed me to sit ontop
of him. I lifted my dress up to my waist so that it
doesn't restrict me and I sat on him.. He placed his
hand at the back of my head and pulled me over for
a kiss.
ZITHA MAGASELA
Fabiano unlocked the flat for me and I walked in..
Me: Thank you
Fab: I'll bring breakfast in 10min
Me: Okay
He locked the door and I looked around..
Me: Peg?
I made my way to the bathroom, she was sleeping in
the bathtub. I looked at her.
Me: Ohh Peg
I noticed a plastic knife, I took it and looked at it..
Then I looked at her, was she trying to?
I put the plastic knife away and picked her up, then I
went to place her on the mattress.
THE MENDOZA
I waited for her to wake up, when she finally opened
her eyes. I stood there and looked at her..
Yvonne: What's going on? Why am I tied?
Me: I know Yvonne
Yvonne: Know what? What is happening?
Me: I know that you working for them or with them
Yvonne: What are you talking about?
Me: Don't make a fool out of me! I know
(Silence)
Yvonne: These people are dangerous
Me: Who are they?
Yvonne: Can't tell you
Me: What do they have on you?
Yvonne: They took my girlfriend
Me: Huh?
Yvonne: They took my girlfriend and for them to give
her back, they asked me to work for them when they
realized that you were taking over on the case
Me: You have to tell me
Yvonne: I can't!!
She looked at me..
Yvonne: This is stupid and a waste of time because
we both know that you will never hurt me
Me: My Sister has been missing for almost a month
now and a couple of days. I wake up everyday with
the fear that I might get news that her body was
discovered somewhere in a bush, naked and bruised.
The fear she's in right now, what they doing to her
Yvonne: I'm sorry if I could help I would but they have
my girlfriend too, and she's been gone more than
Peg not saying Peg's situation is better all I'm saying
is that.. If you want Peggy back, cut a deal with them
Me: I am an FBI Agent I don't negotiate with
criminals, criminals who will go on doing this to other
girls. It's not only Peggy, there's a whole lot more. As
an FBI Agent you should be helping put them away,
you had a chance
She laughed..
Yvonne: "Put them away", that's funny. Do you know
how powerful they are? They work with
professionals.. The minister of Police? They
practically own South Africa! They are not being
found because the ones who are meant to help do
that are working for them!
I nodded repeatedly..
Me: Yes you right, I won't hurt you but.. If you don't
tell me what I want to hear, I'll make sure you go
down for a very long time. All those women you put
away, they will have you for breakfast, lunch, and
dinner.. Then your girlfriend, the one you been
desperately trying to save you will share your love
with her behind bars.. You two will never have a
normal relationship, think about that!
I walked to the staircase..
Yvonne: Release me!! God dammit release me!!
SIHLE
The whole sitting on top of him, he just wanted to be
deep inside of me. After the whole abortion
situation, he put me on the contraception injection..
We weren't at all naked, I had just lifted up my dress
and he didn't take his shirt off just unbottoned it.. His
hands were tight against my waist making me go up
and down on him very hard..
My hands were on his shoulders..
Rich: You will never see your family ever again! Make
peace with it!
Me: Ohh my God I hate you, I hate you so much!!!!!
Rich: You will never see them, they will never see you
again! There'll be deaths and celebrations you will
never attend! They will go through pain everyday not
knowing what happened to you until your mother
dies of depression and possibly a her.. A heart attack
I went up and down harder making him to groan
more..
Rich: You are mine and it ends there!
I laid my head on his shoulder close to his neck..
Me: God I hate you!!!!
ZITHA MAGASELA
Peg woke up..
Me: Hey
Peg: Zitha?
Me: You good?
Peg: I thought you escaped, thought you left without
me
I went and sat next to her on the mattress.
Me: I'll never leave you
Peg: Where were you?
Me: Kirs took me for the night
Peg: Took you for the night?
She looked at me with her eyes wide open..
Peg: He? Did he?
I nodded..
Peg: Zee
I faked a smile trying to fight back tears..
Me: It's okay.. I'm okay that's all that matters right?
Peg: I guess so
Me: Come on, show me the songs you been working
on last night

Kirs slept almost the whole morning and half of the
afternoon. I didn't go to the flats today, can't bring
myself to see Zitha knowing she possibly might be
having a sexual relationship with my husband. I
walked into his study and he was staring at his
phone, with a bit of a smile on his face. It was not a
wide smile but it was there.. I cleared my throat and
knocked, his smile disappeared.
Me: Lunch is ready
Kirs: I'll be there
He went back to his phone..
Me: You came home pretty late last night
He looked at me..
Kirs: And?
I swallowed..
Me: Are you seeing someone else?
Kirs: No
I kept quiet..
Kirs: I'm sleeping with someone else
Me: Zitha isn't it?
Kirs: How is my business any of yours?
Me: I don't think I feel comfortable with my husband
sleeping around
Kirs: I don't care about how you feel, you are my wife
she's a sexual pleasure and it ends there
Me: How would you f-
Kirs: Is there anything else?
Me: No
I walked out..
Kirs: Just one thing
I turned and looked at him..
Kirs: Don't ever ask me about another woman ever
again!
I nodded and walked out...
SIHLE
My hand was shaking as I took the phone from him..
Rich: Untraceable, 5min call
He folded his arms and leaned against the wall. It
wasn't his phone, I dialed my Mother's number and
put the phone next to my ear.
It rang and rang until she answered..
Ma: Hello
I froze..
Ma: Hello?
I held the cellphone with both hands shaking
uncontrollably so..
Ma: Who is this?
Me: It's.. It's me.. It's Sihle
She kept quiet for a moment..
Ma: Sihle?
Me: Yes
Tears formed in my eyes..
Ma: Sihle where are you? I'm very worried about you
I looked at Rich..
Me: I'm fine.. I'm okay
Ma: Where are you? What is going on
Me: I'm safe
Ma: Why aren't you coming home?
Me: I can't come home, it's not safe
Ma: The Police are looking for you
Me: I know.. The people who kidnapped me are also
looking for me and the Person that rescued me
Ma: Are you okay?
I looked at Rich..
Me: I'm okay.. I'll come back just not now, but know
I'm okay, I'm safe
Ma: God finally answered my prayers
Me: I'll keep on calling you then come back home
when it's safe
Ma: At least tell me where you are
Me: I can't.. Ma know I'm safe you have nothing to
worry about
Ma: Please pray
Me: I will
Ma: I love you, and many God protect you
Me: I love you too
I handed Rich back the phone, he hung up.
Me: Thank you
Rich: You welcome
Me: Can I call her again tomorrow?
Rich: We'll see
He wiped my tears...
THE MENDOZA
My Mother disturbed me in my deep thinking..
Ma: Yvonne left without saying goodbye?
Me: She was in a hurry
Ma: I see
Me: How are you feeling?
Ma: What can I say
Me: I will find Peg Ma, I promise
Ma: I know you will
Me: Can I make you something to eat?
Ma: I'd like that
I walked over to the kitchen..
Yvonne's phone vibrated in my pocket..
I got it out, it was an unknown caller. I answered but
didn't say anything..
Voice: You were supposed to check in
I kept quiet..
Voice: Yvonne?
I still kept quiet..
The Person hung up..
I put back in my pocket and thought for a while, I
took my phone and called this best hacker that I
know. Strokes..
Strokes: When an FBI calls I wonder if I'm safe
Me: I need your help
Strokes: When an FBI asks for help, then shit just hit
the fan
Me: You still stay around?
Strokes: It depends
Me: Can I stop by?
Strokes: The police are looking for me, I'm the most
wanted how do I know you not setting me up?
Me: I'll be there later with a fee
Strokes: You not setting me up!
Me: Bye Strokes
ZITHA MAGASELA
Something weird happened, the whole block was
taken down to get fresh air at the back. Fence very
tall, electric fence around ontop.
Approximately 20 Guards minding us, I could count
at least 20 girls..
I looked up in the sky, it was a bit cloudy.
Peg was sitting next to me and writing..
I looked at her..
Me: Peg
She looked at me..
Me: Borrow me your book
She borrowed me her book and pen, I turned it to
the back and started drawing..
Peg: What are you doing?
Me: Trying to familiarize myself with the building
Peg: So when we escape again?
Me: Shhh not so loud
I looked around..
Me: Don't give it away that I'm drawing
Peg: Okay
Me: Tell me when one of the Guards come our way
Peg: Okay.. This is fun!
I looked at her smiling and biting her nails, definitely
buses don't go where she lives now
KIRS BOSCH
I got up and went to lock the door..
My time with Zitha last night was one that I will never
forget. I've had sex with a couple of women before,
but it's my first time having sex with a woman and
actually enjoy it.
She enjoyed the pain inflicted on her, her wetness
down there and how hot she was.
It was something that I need to do again tonight and
possibly other nights to come.
I sat back down on my chair and played the video for
last night. The lengthy one. My phone kept on
recording even when we were having sex, I lowered
my hand and put it inside my pants. I lowered the
volume a bit.
SIHLE
Beauty was in the kitchen cooking when I walked in
from the bedroom after a few minutes of crying..
Me: Hi
Beauty: Hi
Things were still a bit sour between us..
Me: You preparing my favorite
Beauty: You welcome
Me: About the other day I'm sorry.. Shouldn't have
treated you like that
Beauty: It's okay
Me: He let me call my Mother today
She looked at me..
Beauty: What did I tell you?
I smiled..
Me: It hurt talking to her but also it was good
Beauty: He's falling for you, seems like he's not the
only one falling hard
Me: You and your theories, let me help you
ZITHA MAGASELA
Peg: 9 O'clock
I saw one of the Guards coming, I turned the book
and closed it..
Guard: What are you two writing?
Me: Songs
Peg: We writing Songs
Guard: Let me see
I handed him the book, he opened it from the front.
I looked at him nervous..
Peg: That.. That.. The first page.. The song is titled
Peggy's gone to Memphis, my.. My own Song
Me: I think he gets it Peg
Guard: What's wrong with her?
I looked at him, is she seriously asking?
Me: Nothing she just has ADHD
Guard: What?
Me: She's just hyper active
The Guard handed us back the book..
Peg: See? Me and Peg didn't give out the plan
I looked at her one last time..
Me: We need to get the fuck out of here for real!

THE MENDOZA
Strokes lives in an isolated secret apartment.
He has had run ins with the law a few times before,
because he once hacked a lot of accounts and stole
R5 from each account.
He has been involved in a lot of high class cases, he's
the best hacker in this country.
I know him through a friend, and he's one rat that's
difficult to find..
Me: Humble living
Strokes: I make use with what I have
Me: I need your help man
He fixed his glasses..
Strokes: Hmmm.. I feel it's a serious case
Me: My Sister has been kidnapped by a powerful
human trafficking and sex trade ring
Strokes: You always piss off people in high places
Me: You know me
Strokes: So what am I hacking?
I placed Yvonne's laptop and phone on the table..
Me: My Partner she's working with them, find me
something that can lead me to them. Even one of
them
Strokes: Give me two days Max
Me: I appreciate it Strokes
Strokes: I'm the friend and enemy of the law
Me: Get to it then, I'll hear from you
Strokes: You know this
ZITHA MAGASELA
I looked at the drawing, I now know parts of this
area. I need to know more about it, which guard
stands where and how they work.. Might take a
while but it's not like I have to be somewhere.. I
heard the door unlocking, I quickly hid the book..
Kirs walked in..
He looked around..
Kirs: Where is the other one?
Me: She's bathing
Kirs: We need to talk
Not again! Not this again!..
He looked at me, thinking that I would protest but I
didn't..
Me: Okay I'll just tell Peg
Kirs: Matter of fact, bring the FBI's sister. The more
the merrier
I looked at him..
Kirs: It's almost every Man's dream to see two
women making out
With how Peg is, her mental and emotional state. I
don't think she's going to pull this off. I don't think
this will do her any good..
Me: Peg is.. She's not okay currently, this will break
her
Kirs: I really don't care!
Me: Kirs you have me already, leave Peg out of it
Kirs: You don't get to make that call, plus
He took out the powder..
Kirs: She won't even be in her rational state, she'll be
led by hormones
I thought for a while..
Me: Okay.. We can bring Peg along but I need one
thing from you
Kirs: You not in the position to ask for anything, I
don't negotiate with victims
Me: Just antidepressants for her mental state please
He looked at me..
Me: Please that's all I'm asking
Kirs: I'll see
Peg walked out of the bathroom naked.
Peg: I'm starting to adapt to the cold water
Peg is very beautiful and she has a beautiful body
too.. Beautiful brown skin..
When she saw Kirs standing there, she screamed and
ran back to the bathroom closing the door..
Kirs: Wow! I really gotta have that too
Me: I'll go and talk to her
SIHLE
Beauty and I were setting the table for dinner when
Rich made his way in, he looked at us without saying
anything and walked to the bedroom.. Beauty and I
looked at each other.
Beauty: That's my queue to leave
Me: Thank you for preparing dinner
Beauty: You welcome.. I'll see you tomorrow
morning
Me: Tomorrow morning it is
She put the plate down and then walked out..
ZITHA MAGASELA
Peg: Is he gone?
Me: No
Peg: When is he going?
Me: Peg.. We have to go somewhere
Peg: Are we escaping?
Me: No.. Kirs is just borrowing us
Peg: Borrowing us?
I walked over and held her hands..
Me: It's the only way I can protect you, when you by
my side at all times.. Right?
Peg: Right
I put my hand on her cheek..
Me: Okay let's go get dressed then we go with him
Peg: Okay
We walked out of the bathroom, with Peg hiding off
behind me..
Me: I would like us to take the powder now
He looked at me..
Me: It takes a bit of time to kick in, so I don't want
her waiting for that long. She'll get agitated
Kirs: Your call
He walked over and handed it to me..
THE MENDOZA
I got back home to make Yvonne something to eat.
Brought her bucket to use it as a toilet
Yvonne: By keeping me here, it's also illegal. You
holding me captive against my will
Me: You don't have to explain the law to me, I know
exactly how it works
Yvonne: Then please release me
Me: Maybe in two days time
Yvonne: I'm not telling you because I don't know
them all, I only one who is useless to you. He's in the
states, has no affiliation with your sister!
Me: All I want is even a small clue
Yvonne: Then what after? You going to bring them
down? You'll never get to the boss
Me: We will see about that
SIHLE
I knocked in his bedroom..
Rich: Come in
I opened the door and walked in, he was shirtless..
Me: Dinner is ready
He nodded...
Me: I'll see you at the dinner table
I turned back and was about to close the door..
Rich: We have to get married
I stopped..
I turned and looked at him..
Me: Huh?
Rich: We have to get married, it's for your own
protection
This was news to me..
ZITHA MAGASELA
We walked into the solitary confinement, it still
looked the same except for the video cam in the
room.. I made Peg to take more of the powder so she
won't be thinking and stressing about this situation
when we have to do it..
Kirs: Welcome to my dark fantasy
Peg held on tight to my hand..
Me: It's okay
Kirs: Make yourselves comfortable we will start soon
We walked over and sat on the bed...
SIHLE
I was still confused by his statement that I didn't
even touch my food..
I looked at him..
Me: For my own protection?
Rich: There's a lot that's going on, that you don't
know about. If we don't do this, they might ship you,
I'm doing this to keep you here
I thought about it for a while..
According to Beauty I was supposed to be taken
away from him, taken somewhere else. I think he has
purchased me, and all that he does has been fully for
me and my safety.
Me: When are we supposed to do it?
Rich: This week
Me: I don't have my ID
Rich: Don't worry about that
Me: I'm a missing person, can't show my presence in
public
Rich: Don't worry about that too
I nodded..
Me: Okay.. I'll do it, we will get married

THE MENDOZA
Watching docu videos about what they do to women
who have been trafficked or sold as sex slaves broke
me. First time that my Sister's disappearance has
broken me down.
With the justice system in South Africa being this
much crippled, hopes of finding her were getting
more and more slimmer.. Everyday I wake up in the
morning with the fear that I will read or hear from
the news that the body of an unidentified woman,
was found naked in a bush.. I can't just bring down
this whole Ring on my own, I need a team and my
superior is definitely not going to release more
Agents to come this side. I can't depend on the SAPS,
not when their minister is the one giving these
people an upper hand.
I felt a strong urge to give up, that maybe I should
just console my Mother and make her stronger that
Peg may not return. Turn in my badge, I'm useless.. I
vouched to protect the society but I am failing...
These people are more powerful than I anticipated,
even the Daughter of MG got kidnapped and MG is
dead. Lu is dead, they mean business! What if all the
girls were shipped? It's been almost a month now
and a couple of weeks since their disappearance..
My Mother knocked at my door...
Ma: Mendoza
I wiped my face with my t-shirt..
Me: I'm coming
Ma: The Priest is here
I forgot that the Priest was coming over tonight, for
prayer purposes. I am not a believer, I consider this
very useful. God doesn't help in situations like this..
ZITHA MAGASELA
Peggy has a Brother who is an FBI Agent, a Brother
who is probably working tirelessly in trying to find
her. I don't blame his delays, he's dealing with well
connected and powerful people. My own Father was
doing this for years and I didn't even notice, that's
how calculating and attentive they are..
I have no doubt that they been doing this for years,
they are way too comfortable..
Let's be honest, our justice system is a joke!
I don't think Kirs and them will be taken down by the
police, they can't be this comfortable, they can't
have a brothel of flats where even the society knows
what's going down and not report? They run the
whole country.
It will take people who are at the same level of
smartness as them, to bring them down!
At least Peg has someone looking for her, I have no
one! The Person who was meant to protect me from
all this shit is the reason why I'm here and his perfect
gateway was a few bullets in his body. My mind, my
soul, and my heart was clinging very tight to the
anger that I was feeling for my Father. So much that
Peggy's scream of Pleasure brought me back to
reality, I believe that I was hitting it harder than any
man with a dick.. I had a strap around me, and this
moment Kirs had us taking all the heat.
Literally pleasuring each other. Peg was kneeling on
the bed, hands against the wall and my strapped
dildo was deep inside of her. My hand had a full
grasp of her rich afro
I was doing something I've never done before,
fucking a woman until her last scream came out.. I
stopped and her screaming seized, she was
breathing heavily. I slipped out. Followed by a
stream of her squirting. I made her take more of the
powder than I did, just to drug her so she's not
attentive on what's happening. I was horny Yes, but
not at that level. Not like last time.. She turned
around and came closer to me, she wrapped her
hands around my neck and kissed me.. I don't know
if it was the powder or this has turned into a
beautiful sexual attraction between us. She's
beautiful, I love her eyes, her juicy lips especially
when she has put on a lip balm. We continued
kissing, with my tongue and hers colliding.
I moved my hand down and parted her legs then I
finger fucked her. I know exactly how she's feeling
now, I know the effects of the powder and right now
I'd rather be the one satisfying her than another man
adding on to her already broken sanity.. When I was
finger fucking her she squirt more, her whole body
shaking in pleasure, almost speaking in tongues.. My
hand was getting wet...
I sucked her lower lip with her eyes closed.
I stopped and sat on the bed, I moved to wall so I
could balance my back against it..
She came and sat on me sliding herself down on the
dildo with a little moan..
I ran my hands up and down on her back all the way
down to her naked butt. I helped her go up and down
on the dildo..
Peg: Yesssssssss!!
I ran my tongue in the middle of the chest until I fully
took in her nipple. She moved her hands down and
squeezed my breasts..
We were both moaning..
Peg: It's soo good
Me: You soo good
She moved her hands up to my shoulders and leaned
her head back partially also leaning her body back. I
still ran my hands up and down on her back..
Peg: Fuck this is so good!! Ahhhhhh..
She came back and we kissed.. I leaned forward and
squeezed her body tight towards mine and she
continued going up and down on me, we both
moaned loud..
Kirs: Okay stop!!
We ignored that!!
Kirs: I said stop!!!
I held Peg tight and to stop her from moving, I looked
at him over Peggy's shoulder as we were hugging. He
was on the chair, face turned red and shaking a bit.
He got up and I noticed some wetness on the front
of his pants.. So he twitched until he came?
SIHLE
Rich was doing my toe nails. I had my feet on him,
we were sitting in the lounge. I was reading a book,
it's been a while since I last read something. I looked
at him and he was fully focused on painting my nails
perfectly, I looked over at the TV and soccer was on..
The score was 2-1, against his team. A man would be
very much concentrating on the game but he was
fully focused on my nails like the game wasn't that
much important, at least not compared to what he
was doing.
He blew air on the painted nail, I laughed.
He looked at me..
Me: It's not that deep, you don't have to focus like
you writing an exam
Rich: It's my first time doing this, have to make sure
that it's important. First impressions last
I laughed again..
Me: It's just painting nails it's not that deep
Rich: Wanna do it
Me: No I'm not complaining
Rich: Good
I laughed and shook my head looking at him..
ZITHA MAGASELA
He undressed, in the most quickest manner that I've
ever seen. Indeed he had cum a little, seeing from
the wetness at the top of his crotch. He sat on the
bed and instructed us to give him a blow job, both of
us. Peg was on the other side, I was on the other
side..
Both our tongues were on his dick. I stopped and
looked at her, she took him in. She gave him a BJ, and
I just looked at her admiring her. I stretched my hand
and placed it on her cheek as she continued, I ran it
down to her shoulder then to her breast and cupped
it.
We were both kneeling on the sides, Kirs ran his hand
on my back and down to my butt.
He brought his hand back and moved Peg, he placed
his hand on my neck and pulled me to give him a BJ.
Peg got up and kissed him.
They kissed and he instructed his hand down on her
coochie..
Kirs: Fuck you wet!!! You very wet
They continued kissing as he finger fucked her, I
stopped and looked at them. I suddenly didn't feel
right about this, I don't care about Kirs nor am I
feeling anything towards him other than hate and
anger. I just didn't like that Peg was about to enjoy
herself with him, I feel like she should stick to me and
with me
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
He got in..
Raphael: I shouldn't be doing this
Me: I didn't park close to the flats
Raphael: I know but.. My nightshift crew is going to
wonder where I am, or what if the boss drives out
and sees this?
Me: Then we better make it quick
I took out the envelope..
Me: R3000
He looked at it, my Daughter was sleeping in the
backseats..
Me: Is he with her?
Raphael: He's with them
Me: Them?
Raphael: Both of them from that flat
Me: Where?
Raphael: Solitary confinement
Me: What happens there?
Raphael: I've told you enough
Me: What happens there?
Raphael: He.. He has sex with them
Me: Both of them?
Raphael: Yes
(Silence)
Raphael: Can I go back now?
Me: Yes you can.. Thank you
He got out of the car and I started the car...
ZITHA MAGASELA
Peg was laying on her back. Legs wide open.
She had a vibrator inside of her and I had my hands
on her thighs. My face was buried in between her
legs, my tongue against her clit. Kirs was behind me
fucking me hard, he fucked harder at the sound of
Peggy moaning.. I didn't want him anywhere near
her, I don't want her waking up with bits and pieces
of her memory remembering Kirs violating her, she's
been through enough already with these men! Any
invasion of more trauma in her psychi she will have
a complete mental breakdown. She won't recover..

We weren't taken back to the flat, we passed out on
the bed at the solitary confinement but Kirs left as
usual..
I woke up first the next morning, and I stared at Peg
as she was still sleeping. I couldn't get over last night,
our sexual encounter and how beautiful it was.
Exploring her body like that, her responding well to
what I was doing
Heaven have Mercy, what's happening to me? I've
never seen a girl this way. I'm not lesbian nor
bisexual I don't know what was happening to me..
She moved a little, and I had my arm around her
waist but ontop of the bed covers.
She finally opened her eyes and looked at me
Me: Good morning
Peg: Morning
She rubbed her eyes and looked around..
Peg: Where are we?
Me: You don't remember?
She thought for a while..
Peg: My goodness!!
She rose up from the pillow and pulled the covers to
cover her breasts..
Peg: Last night we.. Kirs, you, and I
I nodded..
Peg: Where is he?
Me: He left last night, after..
Peg: Last night was explosive
She rubbed her face with her hands..
Me: Apart from that, how do you feel about it?
About what happened last night?
She thought again for a while..
Peg: It was.. I..
Me: It was beautiful right?
Peg: Funny enough yes, I was very turned on and.. It
was beautiful
I sighed in relief..
The door unlocked, Fabiano got in..
Fab: Get dressed, I have to take you back to your flat
He walked out and closed the door...
SIHLE
Beauty: I think we should get you a dress, a beautiful
dress
Me: We getting married at home affairs, it's not
going to be a big wedding
Beauty: Either way, it's your wedding and I think you
should look beautiful
I smiled..
Beauty: You seem okay with this?
Me: I am okay with it
Beauty: You wanna marry him?
I took a deep breath..
Me: Yes I do
Beauty: You love him?
Me: I don't know if it's love or what but I am feeling
something for him
Beauty: Such cases are very unusual, falling for
someone who has been holding you captive but love
is love. I've seen girls coming here and I've never
seen him be like how he is with you to them, I think
he is also falling for you. Love is beautiful and maybe
this might be what he needs
Me: Yes.. Maybe
Beauty: So we getting the dress? It doesn't have to
be something drastic
Me: Yes we are
KIRS BOSCH
I met up for breakfast with our IT guru CK. He only
works for us and he's good..
He looked at the video, I had stopped it right when I
joined in the party..
Me: And?
CK: It's good staff
He looked around..
Ck: such things you don't watch in public
I chuckled..
Me: How much will it make on the Dark web?
Ck: Not really sure
I nodded..
Me: I want to upload their videos maybe 10 and get
good buyers there when I'm done with them, I feel
they will make me good money
Ck: They will, they definitely will
Me: So can you upload it today?
Ck: I'll get right on it when we done here
Me: Good!
THE MENDOZA
I walked into Strokes secret apartment. He was still
in his PJs and gown..
Me: You stole R5s from a lot of bank accounts how
much money did you make?
Stroke: 150 000 before I got busted
Me: And you never used that money to at least
better this place?
Strokes: I'm keeping that money to add up more and
buy myself an island
I laughed..
Me: Big dreams
Strokes: I'm a dreamer
Me: So where are we? With the investigation?
Strokes: You need to take the gadgets back to her
especially the cellphone
Me: Why?
Strokes: If the deal is not done, they will have to call
her again and when they do you have to make sure
she holds off the call for at least 10 seconds so I can
be able to trace where the call is being made
Me: That sounds like a plan but I don't know if
Yvonne will be kind enough to answer the call
Strokes: That's on you, if you really wanna find your
sister then you will make sure that she answers the
call
Me: I'll see what I can do, thank you very much
Strokes
Strokes: Anytime
ZITHA MAGASELA
I watched her and she took a bath, I stood at the
open door and looked at her running her wet hands
on her afro brushing it back.
Her whole bathing process was in slow motion, just
lost in her bathing..
I heard the door unlocking, I turned back and
Fabiano walked in..
Fab: Where is Peg?
My heart stopped..
Me: She's bathing
Fab: The boss had this sent
He handed me the package.. I opened it, it was pills.
Antidepressants..
Me: Thank you
He nodded and then walked out. I took them out..
Me: Nuzak, take one capsule daily
Peg walked out of the bathroom naked and wet with
the towel in her hand..
Peg: Who was that?
I looked at her..
Peg: Who was that?
Me: Ohw uhm.. It was Fabiano, he brought this over
for you
He looked at the pills..
Me: It's antidepressants they will help you with your
moods and help your mental state
She nodded..
Me: You drink one capsule a day
Peg: Okay
She walked over to the mattress to pick up her
clothes, she bent over..
Then she stood up and turned looking at me.
Peg: What?
Me: Nothing.. I'll go get water for you so you can
drink
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
I was at the flats, I was in the balcony staring right at
Zitha's flat. I even saw Fabiano going in with the
package and coming out empty handed..
They are still at a lower level to be getting favours..
Asa: Hey
Me: Hey
Asa: You've been standing here for too long
Me: I needed the fresh air
Asa is getting better since she started with the
medication..
Asa: food has been brought over, let's go in and eat
I usually have the guards send us food when I'm
around, food that them other girls don't eat here..

ZITHA MAGASELA
We were sitting outside since now we allowed to get
fresh air. I was busy drawing something with the
pen..
Peg was feeling somewhat off since she drank the
pill. It's like it just keyed in her emotions, she wasn't
sad, happy, hurt nor angry. She was just a bit off but
I didn't see any signs of her speaking with her
imaginary friend.. She had her head on my shoulder,
she was also feeling a bit nauseated..
Me: Still feeling under the weather?
Peg: Yes
Me: Just give it time, I'm sure a few days you'll be
okay
Peg: I hope so
As we were sitting, a ball rolled over to us. I blocked
it with my foot. Peg got her head off my shoulder and
picked it up.. I saw a girl coming over to us, one that
was standing with Vhutshilo and another girl..
Her: Hi
Peg: Hi
Peg handed her the ball..
Her: I'm Thato
Peg: I'm Peggy
She looked at me..
Peg: This is Zitha
Thato: Nice to meet both of you, you guys are
beautiful
Peg: Thank you.. You too
Thato: Wanna come play ball with us? It's not a big
deal sport but it keeps us busy
Peg: Ohh... I'd l-
Me: No
Thato: No?
Me: We don't wanna play ball
Thato: Ohh.. Okay maybe next time
Me: Not even next time, not ever!
Thato: Okay.. Well thank you for the ball anyway
She walked away, I watched going over to Tshilo.
Tshilo looked at us after the girl said something to
her..
Peg: That was rude
Me: It was rudely necessary
She laid her head on my shoulder again..
THE MENDOZA
I looked at Yvonne, she was barely hanging on.. My
phone rang, it was my superior. I walked out of the
basement to answer the call..
Me: Sir
Him: I think your time off is over
Me: Can't come back now, my sister is missing
Him: I understand but two of my agents are gone and
it's been a while, you two have to come back to work
Me: Can't do that Sir
Him: It's protocol, I'm sure you've done all you can
for your sister.. It's in the hands of the law in South
Africa
I lowered the phone and sighed..
I placed it next to my ear again..
Me: You'll be receiving my letter of resignation
through your Emails
Him: Don't do this
Me: I am sorry but family comes first
Him: Mendoza
I hung up...
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
I walked over to Fabiano..
Me: Fabiano
Fab: Yes Mam'
Me: Our ball rolled over to those two girls, then
when Thato went to get it.. That girl, the other one
holding a book who introduced herself as Zitha. Told
Thato she's going to kill me, she threatened to kill me
Fabiano looked over at them..
Fab: I didn't hear nothing nor saw anything
Me: I am telling you what Thato told me
Fab: Is she sure? You are close to those two girls and
they would say anything to get favours. Those two
girls sitting there, they've been sitting there since
they got here. They don't bother nor talk to anyone.
Why would they threaten you if they've never even
said 3 words to you? It doesn't make sense
Me: Are you defying me Fab?
Fab: I'm just saying, I didn't see anything
He walked away and I shook my head...
THE MENDOZA
I walked back in..
I stood in front of Yvonne and looked at her.
She didn't say anything, I didn't say anything either..
Her phone rang, unknown caller..
Me: We spoke about this, you tell them that you
okay and the flight has been delayed
I walked over and placed the phone next to her ear..
Yvonne: Hello... Yes... I have a problem.. I didn't land
because I am help captive by The Mendoza.. He's on
to us
I got the phone off her ear and hung up..
Me: You sly bitch!!
Yvonne: Let's see how you get her back now, if I lose
her by going down then you lose your sister too
I dropped her phone to the ground and then went
and strangled her..
Me: You piece of heartless bitch!!
KIRS BOSCH
I got a call from Fabiano..
Fab: Sir we have a problem
Me: What problem?
Fab: It seems like your wife doesn't like the girls
Me: I'm not following
Fab: She lied on the girls especially Zitha in hopes
that she would be severely punished, if it was
another guard that she reported too.. Zitha would be
killed by now
I closed my eyes..
Me: She's doing it again
Fab: I had to let you know
Me: No I understand..
Fab: Yes Sir
I hung up and looked at the video. Ck had uploaded
it 30min ago on the dark web, already it had 12k
views...
SIHLE
Beauty: I have to start blocking people
Me: What are you talking about?
Beauty: Someone uploaded a Porn video on their
whatsapp status, one of my contacts. Two girls
having sex
Me: I hate that
Beauty: Me too
Me: Just block
Beauty: I also don't understand girls who do this, is
money that tight for someone to do this?
Me: People would do anything just to get the paper
Beauty: Very true
Me: Just block and keep it moving
ZITHA MAGASELA
Peg was really not feeling well, she vomited. Fabiano
took us back to the flat..
Fab: Is she going to be okay?
Me: I think so
I pulled the blanket over her..
Fab: Let me have a word with you
Me: Okay
We went to the bathroom..
Fab: Do you have bad blood with Gustavo's wife?
Me: Who is Gustavo?
Fab: Kirs
Me: Yes I do have bad blood with her, she's the
reason why I'm here
Fab: She's on to you, be careful
Me: I'm on to her too
Fab: Be serious.. She has a lot of power right now
compared to you so be very careful
I nodded..
Me: I made a promise to her
He looked at me..
Me: That when I get out of here.. I'm going to kill her
and I will.. I'll be going after her and the husband
Fab: You have big dreams but don't go around saying
such to people
Me: don't worry, I don't speak
Fab: Good.. I'll bring you guys lunch later
Me: Thank you
He walked out..
I went and picked up the book, I have drawn a face
under the Mask.. The caption was "The Punisher"
Underneath I wrote:
"Do to others whatever you would like them to do to
you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law
and the prophets" - Matthew 7:12
THE MENDOZA
She stopped moving. When I got my hands off her
neck she wasn't moving. Her head tilted forward..
Me: Noooo
I lifted her head up..
Me: Yvonne?
I checked for her pulse, she didn't have any..
Me: No.. No.. No!!!

KIRS BOSCH
I had received a call from one of my contacts, he had
called to check up on Yvonne and Yvonne hinted that
The Mendoza had captured her. I had to call
someone a PI, to tail Mendoza because after a while
I couldn't get through to Yvonne. Her phone rang
answered. I had the PI survelling his house and see
what he's going to do with Yvonne..
For him to find out about Yvonne, it means he's
pretty close. Yvonne is an FBI, has worked on a few
cases undercover. She knows very well how to hide
her identity, for her to be busted.. This Mendoza
came out upfront that he's stepping down from the
case, but went and did the opposite. The best thing
to do now is to hit him where it hurts the most. Bring
him down to his knees.. Be done with him, for
good!!!
THE MENDOZA
I rolled her body up with garbage bags and tapped it.
Yvonne was gone, I strangled her to death..
I picked up her body and walked over to the freezer,
I opened it and it was empty. I squashed her in them
closed it, locking it and keeping the key. I sank down
against it and wiped sweat from my forehead..
This act has just sealed it to me that I'm no longer an
FBI Agent, I've committed murder. Premeditated. I
can't keep her body here, soon she's going to turn
out missing. I need to dispose of her and everything
that belongs to her and stick to my story that I've
driven her to the airport that day. I looked at the
time and set the time to 12am, in the morning so
that I can drive and dispose of her body...
ZITHA MAGASELA
Peg sat up straight. I had asked Fabiano to get us
something that we haven't eaten before. He got us a
full chicken, 6 rolls, coslow salad, atchaar, chips and
cranberry juice..
He brought it in a tray with a small vase that had two
roses in them..
Peg: Wow.. How did you pull this off?
I smiled..
Me: Wanted to do something special for you, for a
change. I know how the pill has been affecting you
all day
Peg: The chicken smells nice
Me: I'm glad it does
I placed the tray down, close to the mattress.
She glanced down at it and smiled..
Peg: How did you pull this off?
My first time seeing her smiling from the first day
since I met her..
He included plates, cups, forks and knives, and
saviettes.. I took out one of roses and pull out the
sterm, I fixed her hair and put it in between her ear..
Me: It looks nice on you
Peg: You think?
Me: Yes
We looked at each other for a while..
Peg: We should start eating
Me: Yes.. That's a good idea
Peg: You can do the honours of cutting the chicken
Me: Very well Malady
I was happy to see that this has made her day..
SIHLE
Ma: How are you Sihle?
Me: I'm well Ma, how are you?
Ma: I'm well too
Me: It's good hearing your voice
Ma: It's good hearing yours too, the first time we
talked I was able to sleep peacefully for the first time
ever since you disappeared
Me: It's good to hear that
Ma: I forgot to tell you, your Boss.. She is missing.
Me: Zitha?
Ma: Yes and her father was killed, burglary
Me: What?
Ma: Even the FBI his Sister is missing
Me: What's happening?
I saw the guard signaling that time is up..
Me: Ma I have to go, we will speak again tomorrow..
I love you
Ma: I love you too
I handed him back the phone..
ZITHA MAGASELA
I kept on glancing at her as we were eating.
Me: Can I ask you something?
Peg: Yes
Me: It's going to come off as always
Peg: You can ask
Me: Have you ever dated a woman before?
Peg: No never
Me: Have you ever fallen for a woman before?
Peg: No.. Where is this coming from?
I cleared my throat..
Me: Nothing.. Let's continue eating
Peg: This is really nice
Me: I'm glad you like it
The flower in between her ear fell.. I picked it up..
Me: Here I got it
I placed it in between her ear again..
Me: Here you go
Peg: Thank you
I moved my hand down to her cheek..
Me: You really are beautiful
Peg: Thank you.. You beautiful too
We looked at each other and I leaned over for a kiss..
We kissed for a few seconds with my hand still on her
cheek.. She pulled back.
Me: I'm so sorry.. I didn't mean for that to ha-
Peg: No it's okay.. I also allowed for it to happen,
don't sweat it
We continued eating..
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
I looked at the time, Raphael showed up.
At least this area didn't have cameras..
Raph: I don't think we should keep on meeting up
this way, I don't wanna get in trouble
Me: Thank you for showing up anyway
Raph: What is it this time?
Me: I need you to kill someone
He looked at me..
Me: I need you to kill Fabiano!
Raph: What?
Me: If Fab dies, I can talk to my husband, you could
take his place and you know the benefits of being the
right hand man
Raph: I can't kill Fabiano
Me: Yes you can! You can do it, come on Raph
Raph: This is getting out of hand
Me: You help me, I help you.. Do you know how
much he earns? He earns more than any other guard
here
He thought for a while..
Me: Just think about it, you don't have to answer
right away
He nodded..
Raph: I'll think about it
KIRS BOSCH
I called the PI..
PI: Sir?
Me: What's happening there?
PI: No movement, no nothing
Me: Keep on survelling he is bound to slip up soon
PI: Yes Sir
I hung up..
I looked at the video, it was now on 21k views.. Soon
we will open auctioning..
ZITHA MAGASELA
Fabiano made his way in..
Fab: I have to take the knives and plates back to the
kitchen, you not supposed to have them here
Me: It's okay.. Thank you
He picked the tray up, I followed him outside.
Me: Can I talk to you?
Fab: What is it?
Me: I need a favour
Fab: What favour now?
Me: Nothing heavy.. Just a punching bag and some
bandages
Fab: A what?
Me: People show hurt through tears and
vulnerability, I show anger in a different way. I show
it through anger, when I'm hurt I get angry and I
wanna take it out on something. It makes me feel
better
Fab: Zitha a punching bag is a stretch
Me: No one will ever find out
He kept quiet..
Me: Please.. You are the only friend we have here
I saw Tshilo approaching us..
Me: You gotta be kidding me
Fab: I'll think about it, go back inside
I looked at her..
Fab: Zitha go back inside
Tshilo: Fork and knives? Plates? I thought this block
doesn't have favours
Me: What is it to you?
Tshilo: I'm just saying
I walked closer to her, Fab stood in between us..
Me: I will get out of here, and when I do.. I'm going
to kill you! There's nothing I hate like women who
inflict pain on other women, women who become
another woman's downfall.. As women we should be
fighting these monsters alongside each other not
helping them!
Tshilo: I will stand by my husband through thick and
thin
Me: Your husband is a monster who rapes and abuse
vulnerable women, I don't know what world you live
in but your husband is a monster!
Tshilo: Yet again you sleeping with him!
Me: He is raping me!!!
I looked at and chuckled..
Me: You sick! You delusional to ever think that your
husband is a good man! Your kind of sickness can't
be cured
Fab: Okay Zitha that's enough
Me: You are a sad pathetic thing looking for love in
the wrong man, you can't even tell right from wrong!
He's using you, he doesn't love you!!
She charged at me..
Tshilo: I'm going to kill you!!!
I moved a little and tripped her with my foot and she
fell. I got ontop of her and had a grip on her hair, then
I started punching her..
I felt Fab grabbing me away from her..
Tshilo: You dead!! After this you dead!!
Me: You a crazy delusional miserable bitch that can't
even fight!!!
Fab: Enough!!
She got up from the ground..
Tshilo: You will be sorry.. I'll make sure that you
never get any favours from here! You done!!!!
Peg: Zitha?
Me: Let go off me!
Fab let go of me..
I turned around and walked up to Peg..
Me: It's okay.. Let's go back inside
We went back inside and I closed the door..
Peg: What happened there?
I was shaking in anger..
Me: Nothing.. I'm fine
Peg: Your hand.. It's bleeding
She held my hand..
Peg: Are you okay?
I faked a smile and placed my hand on her cheek..
Me: I'm okay, I'll just wash this off
I walked away to the bathroom..

THE MENDOZA
When it was dark to my satisfaction and my Mother
was fast asleep. I dragged her body to the garage,
and put her in the trunk.. I couldn't wait for the time
I've set forth because my guilty conscience was
eating me alive. I needed to get rid of her body right
away.. I put in a shovel and other things I would need
to dig up a shallow grave..
Before I drove out, I called my supervisor
Beckworth..
Him: Changed your mind?
Me: No.. I'm checking if Yvonne has arrived yet
Him: Arrived? Was she coming back?
Me: Yes I drove her to the airport, been trying to get
a hold of her without any success
Him: I'll send an Agent to her place so they can check
Me: Get back to me
Him: I will
KIRS BOSCH
Vhutshilo walked in with Fabiano, she was battered..
I looked at Azelea..
Me: You can go to your room my Angel, I'll be there
to read you a bed time story okay?
Azelea: Okay
She walked to her room.. I looked at Tshilo.
Me: What happened?
Tshilo: Zitha attacked me!
Me: Why?
She looked at me puzzled..
Tshilo: What do you mean why? She attacked me!
She's a hooligan and clearly doesn't know how carry
herself
Me: How did this happen?
I looked at Fabiano..
Tshilo: She has to be put on a leash! She's dangerous
Me: Fab let me talk to you
Tshilo walked away..
Me: How did this happen? They not supposed to be
in a same place together
Fab: Tshilo moved from that block where she was
and came to Zitha's block as I was collecting the
empty dishes. Your wife provoked her
I sighed..
Fab: She's out of control Sir, she's going to cause us
problems
Me: I'll take care of it, thank you
Fab: Yes Sir
He walked to the door..
Me: How are the girls?
Fab: They are doing good, taken care of as you
requested
Me: Thank you
Fab: Yes Sir
He walked out..
ZITHA MAGASELA
I sat on the floor in the corner of the room and
looked at my bruised hand on the knuckles..
Peg: How is it?
I looked at her..
Me: I'm okay.. It's okay
She walked over and knelt before me, she held my
hand..
Peg: I've noticed that you and Tshilo don't like each
other and you have every reason to feel that way,
she is the reason why you here after all.. But
attacking Vhutshilo will only aggrevate Kirs. She is his
wife at the end
Me: You right.. I acted impulsively. Just that when I
saw her, I saw red
Peg: I understand but.. You have to keep it together,
imagine if we get separated? What then? We only
have each other here.. Maybe we can think about
that before we lash out?
I chuckled..
Me: I'll definitely think about that next time
Peg: I mean things are better now for us around
here, let's not ruin that
Me: I guess you the sanity that I need right now
Peg: It doesn't look bad though
Me: It'll heal in a few days time, I just don't know how
Kirs will feel when he learns that I've battered his
wife
Peg: Well I hope he won't make a big deal out of it
Me: Let's hope so

I got a call from Strokes..
Me: Talk to me
Strokes: I stumbled on some video on dark web and
it looks like your Sister
Me: Are you sure?
Strokes: I noticed her from her missing picture
Me: Send it to me
Strokes: I don't think you wanna see this, it's a
uhmm.. A porn video of her and another girl doing
the deed
Me: Can you find who posted the video?
Strokes: "Dark Angel 1111"
Me: Can you trace his location?
Strokes: No.. But auctioning will open soon because
Dark Angel only uploads videos of women that will
be sold soon, even little kids
Me: There has to be something we can do
Strokes: We can wait for the auction to open and we
can bet on them, then when we do the exchange we
nail these Sons of bitches
Me: I like the idea, keep me posted
Strokes: I'll do so
Me: Hey Strokes
Strokes: Yes?
Me: What are you doing watching porn from the
dark web?
Strokes: I'm a single man
Me: I don't dispute that but why not watch from a
normal porn site?
Strokes: Seek as it is, buy porn from this side is
hardcore
Me: Work on your dark obsession, those women and
kids are filmed under the influence of drugs, raped
and forced to perform in front of the camera
Strokes: You asked for my help and I didn't ask for a
3rd degree lecture
Me: Very well
Strokes: Good! See you when I see you
Me: Bye
KIRS BOSCH
I received a call from the PI..
Me: Talk to me
PI: He's driving somewhere and I'm following him
Me: Where is he driving too?
PI: I'm not sure as yet, he could be running an errand
Me: Keep on following him to see where he's going,
don't lose him
PI: Yes Sir
Me: Then get back to me
He hung up..
I walked into the bathroom where Tshilo was staring
at herself in the mirror..
I stood at the doorway and looked at her..
Me: What were you doing in Zitha's block? You
supposed to be on the other side
Tshilo: Does it matter?
Me: You still haven't answered my question
Tshilo: She attacked me, she tried to kill me!
Me: What were you doing in her block? For her to
attack you, you must've went to her side!! (yelling)
Tshilo: Have you thought about asking Fab that
question? He watched her as she attacked me.. He
let her out
Me: Dammit Vhutshilo!! You promised me that when
you go back there you won't cause any drama for me
anymore.. What is this now?
Tshilo: Why are you defending her? You've never
defended any girl there, you've never taken any girl's
side there other than mine.. Why are you doing this?
You told me it's just sex but it seems like you are
falling for this girl! You don't touch me anymore! You
don't make love to me anymore.. You go all out to
avoid me!! It's like I annoy you now, I'm boring you..
What is happening because I'm confused!
I kept quiet..
Tshilo: Are you falling in love with her?
Me: Zitha is going to be sold off soon, she's on the
darkweb and auctioning is opening soon.. I want you
to stay out of her way or else I will forbid you to go
there!
ZITHA MAGASELA
Peg was getting some sleep and I couldn't. Since I
couldn't, I took one of the t-shirts I had and hers then
wrapped it around my hands. Since Fab was unclear
about getting me a punching bag, I decided to go
punch the wall in the bathroom..
I kept on replaying everything that has happened to
me thus far. The rapes, my Father, the Opharnages.
I kept on replaying and replaying those scenes like a
movie
The more they played out, the more I punched to get
rid of the anger and hurt..
I imagined punching all the faces that I was mad at.
My Father, Vhutshilo, Kirs the Guards that violated
me. I kept on punching and punching more harder
and harder...
THE MENDOZA
I drove until I got into an area that was far away from
the busy road and buildings..
A dark area filled with trees..
I got out of the car and looked around, it was a two
way road with trees on the sides..
I took out a pack of cigarettes, took out one cigarette
and lit it up to smoke.. I opened and got my torch,
then I walked around to see if there's no road leading
into the trees that I can drive my car through...
I was alone, no sign of any car coming..

KIRS BOSCH
Later on at night I received a call from the PI.
Me: And?
Him: He was burying a dead body, I think he killed
Yvonne
Me: What?
Him: It was dark but what would one be doing in the
bush late at night carrying something over his
shoulder?
Me: Did you try to get his number plates to possibly
send Menzi? Link him to the murder when the body
gets discovered?
Him: No Sir it was too dark
Me: You couldn't use a flash?
Him: It would still be far fetched, Menzi will have to
prove that The Mendoza's car was parked were the
body was discovered late at night and how is he
going to explain the pictures? Explain what he was
doing here late at night to see Mendoza's car parked
here?
Me: Son of a bitch is going to get away with it! This
could've been our chance to bury him alive
Him: We could give Menzi the exact co-ordinates and
he can say hikers found a shallow grave and called in
tomorrow morning, then they can go search
Mendoza's house
Me: He has to be the Person of interest for them to
do that, he could easily say he drove her to the
airport and doesn't know what happened after
Him: He can't get rid of the evidence so quickly, I'm
sure they'll find blood splatter or something in his
house linking him to the murder of Yvonne
Me: They can't just search his house, a court order is
going to be needed and for the judge to issue that.
Menzi will need a damn good reason as to why
Mendoza is the Person of interest!
Him: He doesn't know that we know he killed Yvonne
so we can blackmail him
Me: I doubt he will take that.. This might even come
back to bite us in the ass, Yvonne was working with
him on the case and now she's disappeared.
Mendoza's sister is missing, it doesn't look good on
us at all
Him: So what are we going to do?
Me: Nothing.. We will let him get away with it, we do
nothing
Him: Yes Sir
Me: We need to do something about this, he's
becoming a constant tick
Him: Yes Sir
Me: Talk soon
THE MENDOZA
I had to get rid of everything in the basement that
spelled out Yvonne.. I took along her bags when I was
going to bury her body and scattered her clothes
right close to the shallow Grave. Her laptop and cell
phone I'll see what I can do with them, both are
switched off. Tomorrow morning I have to go and
report her missing, I have to wash my clothes the
ones I'm wearing..
This whole situation is fucked! I didn't mean to kill
her, and I don't know if my acting soon won't come
back to bite me at the end..
Now I'm back to square one with my Sister's case,
but with Stroke's suggestion it might just work. It's
our last shot at this..
ZITHA MAGASELA
Sleep still eluded me, I can't get a good night sleep
without nightmares creeping in..
My hands were aching a little, after effects of
repeatedly punching the wall...
I was sitting at the corner of the room, lost deep in
my thinking..
These people will never stop, and they will never get
caught. It's been a while since Kirs killed my Father,
and he's still walking free meaning the case might
have gone cold or he got away with it. They wouldn't
be this relaxed if cops were on to them, it's pretty
clear that they have someone in the department.
Someone who is able to help them cover their
tracks..
The main reason on why they keep getting away with
this is because they make them play their game, to
beat them. You need to make them play your game,
get them in your playground and territory.. When I
make it out of here, if I will. I will damn well vouch
my life to getting them back if it's the last thing I do.
If I go down, I will go down with half of them!
SIHLE
The following morning I woke up still very much lost
in my thoughts about Zitha also being kidnapped. I
don't even know how it happened, nor where she is..
Is she also sold to one of these guys? How did they
get to her? Why did they target her? I was very
confused..
Beauty: I got all your fittings, I'll be going out to get
the dress
I looked at her..
Beauty: Rich gave me money
I nodded..
Beauty: Are you okay?
Me: When I was on a call with my Mom, she told me
that Zitha is missing too
Beauty: Who is she?
Me: My Boss
Beauty: That's sad
Me: I just don't know how they got to her, how she
was targeted.. Unless
Beauty: Unless?
Me: She was looking for me and was close to finding
out where I was, so they took her in
Beauty: I'm sorry about your boss, I'm sorry that
she's going through this but you can't do that..
Things are going better for you, poking in Rich's
business might set you back to square one, is that
what you want? You are close to reconnecting with
your family.. Don't mess it up, it's sad what's
happening to her but I'm sure where she is. She's
also thinking about herself.. Don't mess yours up!
ZITHA MAGASELA
Fab walked in with a punching bag and gloves..
Peg: What do we need that for?
Me: Perfect!
Peg: Are we even allowed to have that in here?
Me: I won't tell if you don't tell
He put it down..
Fab: A punching bag
Me: This is perfect.. You made my day, actually my
year
Fab: You have to keep it in the bathroom, out of sight
Me: I'll hang it there, thank you very much
Fab: I can help you
Me: You've done enough for now
Fab: I'll get you guys breakfast
Me: Thank you Fab
He walked out..
Peg: Why is he suddenly so nice to us? It doesn't
make sense
Me: Who cares?
Peg: He was the first Guard to sexually violate me,
then all of a sudden he's the messiah?
Me: Let's not deal with hypothesis for now, all that
matters is that he's helping us. Let's take that and run
with it
Peg: I guess so
Me: Get the chair, help me hang this
Peg: I still don't know why we need that
I picked it up, it was heavy..
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
I was standing over the balcony with Raphael
watching Fabiano walking out of the girls flat after
delivering them a punching bag..
Me: He's inciting violence
(Silence)
Me: How far are you with Killing Fab?
Raph: I'm still thinking about it
Me: It's been long
Raph: I can't just walk up to him and shoot him
down! Needs planning
Me: Then plan harder!
THE MENDOZA
I walked into the station, and made my way to the
counter..
Officer: The Mendoza.. Are you back?
Me: I wish I was
Officer: That's sad.. It was good having you around
Me: Yeah I know.. Look I'm here to report a missing
person
Officer: There's a new officer in charge of that
Me: Where is he?
Officer: Go down to what used to be your office
Me: Okay thank you
I made my way to the office..
Me: Good morning
He looked at me, as I made my way..
Him: Good morning
Me: I was sent here to report a missing Person
Him: Yes please make yourself comfortable Agent
I sat down..
Me: Mendoza
Him: I know and heard about you
I nodded..
He extended his hand to me for a handshake..
Him: Detective Nkambule, King Nkambule
Me: Nice to meet you
King: Likewise

THE MENDOZA
King: So you wanted to report a missing person?
Me: Yes.. My colleague. Her name is Yvonne she was
helping me with the cases involving human
trafficking and the disappearance of women. She
was due to leave and go back because the FBI
headquarters needed her back. Yvonne was meant
to call and let me know that she has landed but she
hasn't, I called my superior and he said he will check
in on her.. I haven't heard a word.. When I started
working on the case, I felt the heat because I made
them panick. Hence my sister was kidnapped to
make me scared, when Yvonne didn't check in I got
scared
He nodded repeatedly..
King: I understand.. You feel like she didn't board the
plane?
Me: I don't know, it's just unusual for her not to
check in... I don't know if I'm being paranoid but..
King: No I get were you coming from
I looked at the board,
Me: You working on the case?
King: When I saw that you were working on the case
I was not in SA, I only got back a few days ago to hear
you stepped down. I decided to take over, it seemed
interesting
I got up and went to the board, I studied it..
King: What's on your mind?
Me: The first victim.. Sihle.. Her kidnapping was
random, she was inboxed by a woman. Going to my
Sister and Zitha, they weren't random
King: I'm listening
Me: Sihle was working for Zitha, and Zitha was
adamant to finding her. I believe she continued
snooping around even when I told her not too.. On
the other hand, my sister she was taken because of
me
(Silence)
Me: MG.. Zitha's father was gunned down in his
house right?
King: That's what the report said
Me: This guy.. What did he do? His day job?
King: He owned a soccer team
Me: I don't know about here, but where I'm from you
need to at least be a billionaire to own a soccer
team.. What did he do before owning the team?
King: It's unknown, he was a multimillionaire though
Me: Multimillionaire.. How long did he own the
team?
King: 2-3 years
Me: It doesn't add up
King: Unless you know people who know people
I turned and looked at him..
King: He owned two orphanages too
Me: What?
King: It says here
Me: You can't just own those unless you have
personal relations
King: Go on
Me: Take Oprah Winfrey for instance. She built a
school here for disadvantaged girls because she
experienced abuse and rape in the hands of a family
member.. MG has to be an Orphan to think of doing
that or be close to someone who is one to want to
make Orphans live a better life
King: His Mother is still alive, Father deceased
Me: Pizza gate
King: What?
Me: It's how they sell and traffick kids.. They usually
use terms that are not suspicious. Like a girl "Pizza"
a boy "Hotdog"
King: "I would like Pizza for myself in the menu
instead of sea food"
Me: It fits
King: So MG might've been involved?
Me: Reason why Zitha might have been kidnapped,
she probably stumbled on something.. Something
she shouldn't have known
King: Her father got killed because he knows too
much to bury them in saving his Daughter
Me: He had to be silenced
King: Which is why your Partner might have been
taken if she was taken
Me: We find out anything on MG, we find them
King: You have to come back on the case
Me: I can't.. Either way, they won't get caught they
have someone in the SAPS.. Menzi
King: I knew something was off about him
Me: If we do this, we have to do it under the carpet..
You need to get off the case, you wearing a ring. They
know you involved, Your wife is gone
King: How do we do this?
I went to the board and earsed everything..
Me: We do it undercover!
ZITHA MAGASELA
I looked at the Data I've collected..
Kirs is the leader, my Father was involved. They run
the operation here in the flats, the Orphanages are
to sell the kids..
They have two in Gauteng, two in Kzn...
I put the pen down and stretched my arm..
The girls here are often sold and prostituted. Sihle
was taken first, Peg was taken for her Brother to get
off the case. I was taken because I know too much.
Basically I'm the one who is stranded more, the one
who won't be let go because I know a lot of
information. Still, to take them down I'll have to
know who is working with them in the police
department. How many cops are involved in this?
How many people does the ring contain?... I thought
for a while..
I jotted down Fabiano's name.. He must know at
least 80% About the operation..
Peg walked in and I closed the book..
Peg: What are you working on?
Me: Nothing important
Peg: Ohw
Me: Still feeling somehow?
Peg: Yeah.. I wonder when I'll get used to them
Me: Give them time
Peg: I guess so
I threw the book and pen down on the floor, I was in
the bathtub..
Me: Come here
She walked over and got in the bathtub, she laid
ontop of me I wrapped my arms around her...
Peg: Do you think we will ever get out of here?
Me: I don't know, but I'm hopeful
Peg: They must be powerful for my Brother to take
time to nail them
Me: They are powerful but they human beings they
bound to make mistakes, let's hope he will find the
cracks
Peg: I hope so
(Silence)
Me: If we ever get out of here, what are your plans?
Peg: Appreciate life more
I chuckled..
Peg: You?
Me: We'll see
I kissed her on her forehead...

Menzi: We have another Detective working on the
case
Me: Who is it?
Menzi: Detective King Nkambule, he's in homicide
Me: Is he any good?
Menzi: He's alright.. He's married
Me: That's good.. We can use that against him
Menzi: People are starting to snoop around, I believe
we have been soft
Me: We can't just kill people of the law, it'll put more
heat on us
Menzi: Then we need to act, show them who is in
charge! We can't let people mess with us
Me: You right.. We need to start showing people who
we are
Menzi: Exactly!!
THE MENDOZA
Me: I work with this guy Strokes, he is the best
hacker
King: Has he broken the law before?
Me: Yes.. He stole R5s from bank accounts
He whistled..
Me: So we can meet up in his place
King: I guess so
Me: This is a very high profile case, if you wanna turn
back
King: I devoted myself to serving the law, I'm not
turning back
I looked around..
Me: Then get out of here
Menzi walked in.. He looked surprised to see me..
Menzi: Mendoza
Me: Sir
Menzi: I thought you stepped down from the case?
King: He was here to collect a few personal things,
diary his coffee cup
Menzi: I see
He looked at King..
Menzi: I heard you here to help with the missing
cases
King: That was the plan but I got called back to the
station, I'm in homicide Sir this is not my
department.. But what I can say is that the station
seems to be doing well with missing Person's cases
Menzi: That's what I've been saying
King: If you need any help don't hesitate to call me
Menzi: Leaving already?
Me: There's an open case in my department, I'm
needed there
Menzi: Thank you for respecting what we do
King: I was telling the Mendoza with regards to his
first press release statement. There's a lot of cases
around and we try our best to attend to all, but the
honest truth is that we can't solve them all in one go,
it's impossible but we are trying our best. I
appreciate the FBI helping but I also don't feel well
with my country being undermined
Me: It was not my intention
King: Maybe review all cases in general before
judging
Me: That won't be necessary anymore
Menzi: I'm assigning the CID to solely work on the
human trafficking cases and missing girls
King: That's good
Menzi: If you don't mind they will be using this office
King: Not at all, I'll be gone by the end of today
Menzi: Good!
He looked at me..
Menzi: It was good seeing you again
Me: Likewise
He walked out..
Me: That was smooth
King: He might have bought it, he might have not
bought it
Me: Let's hope he did
King: I will call you later and we will have our first
meet up, I'll make copies of all the cases before I
leave
Me: Very well
I walked to the door..
Me: Welcome to the team
King: Party nyana?
Me: We'll see
He chuckled and shook his head..

I was busy throwing punches at the Punching bag,
until I exhausted myself. I stopped and hugged it
tight, trying to catch my breath...
Fab: You will win the battle but you'll never win the
war
I turned and looked at him, he made his way in. I
separated from the punching bag..
He walked over and stood behind the punching bag..
Fab: You only win the war if you fight smart and not
from the place of anger. Anger makes you impulsive,
irrational, and you end up losing the war
Me: I wanna get out of here Fabiano, I wanna get out
of here and take them down!
Fabiano: That won't happen if you fight from a place
of Anger, you only setting yourself up for failure!
He walked over to me..
Fabiano: Hold your hands up high
I held my hands up high. He placed his hands against
my gloves and pushed me hard, I fell backwards..
Me: TF??
Fabiano: Don't rely on your strength, rely on your
brain. It can give you balance even if your opponent
weighs 5 times than what you weigh
I got up..
Fabiano: Think smart, not anger
I stood..
Fabiano: Think courage, not fear.. Think about your
end goal, not revenge
Me: Why are you here? Why are you doing this? You
don't seem like an evil Person
Fabiano: Sometimes we do things that go against
what we believe in, it's life
Me: Why can't you take him down?
Fabiano: Apply those tactics and there could be hope
for you
He hit the punching bag and little and walked out....
THE MENDOZA
When I got out of the house to go to my car which
was parked outside my house, I noticed a car that
had been parked two houses away from mine. This
morning when I left to the police station, the car was
parked there. It's nighttime, and the car is still parked
there...
I walked over to it... I knocked at the window from
the side were he was sitting..
He rolled down the window..
Me: Good evening
Him: Evening
Me: I've noticed that you've been parked here since
from this morning
Him: Satellite dish installation Sir, that's what I
specialize in
Me: Isn't it supposed to be after hours?
Him: Working overtime
Me: May I have your business card?
Him: Yes, sure
He got it out..
Me: Thank you, which house are you supposed to be
busy with?
Him: I'm actually lost that's why it's taken me this
long
Me: I thought you said it was overtime
Him: It is, I'm now working overtime because I
couldn't find the house on time
Me: May you please drive off from here, come
around tomorrow during working hours
Him: Who are you again?
Me: I am an FBI Agent, should I show you my batch?
Him: Uhm no Sir, my deepest apologies
I stepped away..
Him: I'll just drive off
He drove off... I looked at his business card.

I was looking for my book, Zitha is the last Person
who had it. I looked for it until I gave up.. I made my
way to the bathroom, she was busy throwing
punches at the punching bag.
I stood there and looked at her, in her black dolphin
shorts and sports bra... She stopped punching and
looked at it, then she turned around with a bit of
sweat running from her neck to her chest in a trail..
Zitha: Hey
Me: Hey
Zitha: You okay?
Her 6 pack was admirable, something that I can't
really achieve..
Me: Yes.. Was just looking for my book
She walked over and sat on the edge of the bathtub..
Zitha: Found it?
Me: No.. You were the last Person to use it
Zitha: I can't remember where I've put it, I'll look for
it
Me: Okay
I continued looking at her, with her chest moving up
and down..
Zitha: Anything else?
Me: No.. There's nothing
I walked out of the bathroom when I heard multiple
gunshots... Zitha rushed out of the bathroom..
Me: What is that? Are those gunshots?
Zitha: I'm not sure
We both looked at each other puzzled...

Rich was in the living room busy with work.
Me: Good evening
He looked at me..
Me: Beauty got me a wedding dress, nothing fancy
but it's something. She'll fetch it tomorrow
Rich: She did ask to get you one
Me: Thank you
He nodded a little..
Me: Can I ask you something?
Rich: What is it?
Me: Do you.. Do you know the girls that get
kidnapped?
Rich: Why?
Me: I.. When I was watching TV the other day. It was
on the news that my Boss Zitha Magasela was
kidnapped
Rich: And?
Me: Wanted to know where she is
Rich: After knowing what you going to do about it?
Me: I just wanna know if she's safe or not
Rich: If she's not safe.. Exactly what are you going to
do about it?
Me: She's my boss
Rich: Was
Me: I feel she got kidnapped because of me
Rich: What makes you think she's kidnapped?
I shrugged my shoulders...
Rich: You don't involve yourself in matters that are
none of your concern, especially such matters are we
clear?
I nodded..
Me: We clear
He went back to what he was doing...

King was already standing at the door when I got
there..

King: You think they on to you?
Me: I don't know but we have to be smart
I knocked...
King: Who is this guy again?
Me: Strokes, he's a hacker.. He stole multiple five
rands from different bank accounts
King: How much did he steal in total?
Me: 150k I think before he got caught, he is a wanted
someone
King: Friends you keep
He opened...
Me: Strokes
Strokes: Hey.. Who is your friend?
King: I'm Detective King Nkambule

Me: What about him?
Raphael: He got shot, multiple times
Me: What? How did that happen?

checked, I found him gunned down
Me: Is he still breathing?

Strokes played the video, I couldn't watch it. I
couldn't watch my Sister in this compromising
situation..
King: Wait pause it
Strokes paused it..
King: That girl looks like Zitha, the 3rd missing girl..
MG's Daughter
I turned around and looked at the screen..
Me: It's her.. It is Zitha!
King: So the same people who took your Sister, took
Zitha too
Strokes: At least now we know it's the same people
who took these girls
King: How many views now?
Strokes: 70k when it gets to a 100k, they'll start
auctioning
King: Auctioning?
Strokes: Sell the girls
King: Who uploaded the video?
Strokes: Dark Angel
King: Can't you track him/her?
Strokes: It's the darkweb, you can't trace
King: I heard that you are the best hacker, unless I'm
wrong?
Strokes: You asking me if I could walk on water?
King: Can you?
Strokes: Only Jesus did that, this is reality and not the
world of miracles what's next? Should I turn water
into wine?
King: We need to find the origin of the video
Strokes: I know that
Me: Can't you communicate with this Dark Angel?
They looked at me..
Me: Communicate until you take it out of darkweb
Strokes: We can try that, I can
King: Tell him you interested in buying, make him an
offer

I glanced down at him, he was laying on the ground
in his own pool of blood. He was shot 4 times, twice
in the chest, 1 in the neck and the last one in the
head. It looks like the one in her neck he was already
down when he got shot, even the one in his head.. I
moved closer to him and crouched down. I closed his
eyes..
Me: Rest in Peace Old Friend
Fabiano has been working for me for almost 5 years
now. Very loyal and very faithful. He's well trained
and it seems like the Person who did this to him,
caught him off guard. His gun was laying on the
ground just close to him, he couldn't pull the trigger
in form of self defense. The two bullets took him by
surprise and got him down. Judging from how he was
shot, it's pretty clear that he knew the killer and was
comfortable with him..
I bailed him out from a lengthy prison sentence years
ago, he was up for murder and rape. I made the
evidence disappear and he has since been my right
hand man, it really broke me as I looked at him. He
was a tough soldier, head of the guards..
Me: Who did this?
It seems like the Person lured him to this corner, no
surveillance camera no nothing. Just an isolated dirty
corner. It's definitely one of our own who did this,
the girls couldn't have pulled this off..
Raphael: Sir if I may speak, I'm the one who found
him
I got up but still had my back turned against them..
Raphael: I heard multiple gunshots when I came to
check, he was down I didn't see the culprit.. He was
already gone
(Silence)
Me: Leave me
Raphael: Sir?
Me: I said leave me!!!!! (shouting)
Raphael: Yes Sir
They walked away.. I crouched again and looked at
him with tears forming in my eyes.
Me: I'll find who did this, I promise!
ZITHA MAGASELA
How is it possible? I was with him a moment ago and
he was giving me a small lecture or piece of advice.
To hear that he was gunned down? One of the
guards came to let us know. I'm guessing everyone
was told about this...
I punched harder on the punching bag, I pictured him
standing behind the punching bag and saying all
those things to me..
This is not right, it doesn't feel right. I was hoping
that Fabiano would be my way out of here, he was
warming up to me then it all came down crashing
down..
I felt someone poking me on my back, I turned
around and thew a punch. It was Peggy. She fell
down screaming..
Me: Ohh my God Peggy!
I walked up to her, she put her hand on her nose..
Peggy: You broke my nose!
Me: I'm so sorry.. Peg I..
I got closer and she moved back..
Peg: Stay away from me!!
She lowered her hand and she was bleeding.
Peg: Just stay away from me!!
She crawled out of the bathroom..
I went and punched the wall..
Me: Fuck!!!

Strokes: I got something! I got something!
I opened my eyes, I was even falling asleep.
King: What did you get?
Strokes: He has agreed to communicate with me via
Email
He placed his hands on his head..
King hit him on his shoulder..
King: Nice work!! Now we need to get him to meet
you
Me: Let's not jump the gun.. We've come too far to
mess this up. We only have one shot, and he's our
only shot to finding the girls
King: That's right.. Strokes play it off, don't give it
away too obvious. Don't make him suspicious
Strokes: So how do we play this?
King: Obviously he will be curious as to why you
placed an order before the auction is open
Me: They alert, they'll know that we are trying to get
them
King: Let him lead the conversation more, don't say
anything that could make him suspicious
Strokes: Got it
Me: He's going to ask you about your sexual desires,
your dark sexual desires. Tell him you are into rape,
brutal videos, bondage and possibly small kids too
Strokes: What?
King: That's too brutal
Me: He's a sadist he needs to make it believable
King: Sharing porn of underage boys and girls is a
criminal offense, it might come back to bite him in
the ass
Me: Not if you used your skills, fake account nothing
traceable back to you. I told you that if we do this,
we do it under the carpet
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
Raphael: He's going to know it's me, he's going to
know it's me
Me: Calm down!! If you panick he's going to see right
through you
Raphael: He's shaken by this, Fabiano was his right
hand man
Me: I know my Husband! I've been with him for years
and he can smell fear and panick from a Person, he
knows when one is lying. If you keep on panicking,
he's going to nail you!
Raphael: So what to do?
Me: Kirs has alliances the coloured gang apart from
his guards, you will tell him that you suspect one of
the coloureds that he did this because Fabiano put
out strict rules about touching the girls
Raphael: Okay.. I get you
Me: And calm down!! Before you sell us off
Raphael: I'll calm down
Me: Good!

Me: And?

Peg: It's only us in the flat
Me: I know.. I'm sorry, I didn't mean too
She turned back and looked at me..
Peg: This sudden obsession with violence is scary
Zitha, you are always punching things. Always angry
and acting out of violence
Me: It's how I deal with my emotions, we all deal
with shit differently
Peg: But that doesn't mean you should punch
people!!
Me: I said I was sorry!!
Peg: Sorry until when? Until it happens again?

Me: I said I didn't wanna be disturbed
Raphael: I know but.. I have information
Me: Come in
He walked in..
Raphael: There has been a bit of beef between
Fabiano and the kullids
Me: Beef?
Raphael: He was strict on the girls, didn't want them
to touch the girls
Me: All the girls or specific girls?
Raphael: The pair on the second block
Me: Peg and Zitha
Raphael: They didn't understand why they were not
allowed to touch nor come anywhere near the girls
Me: I understand.. Thank you
Raphael: Yes Sir
Me: You will be overseeing Fabiano's responsibilities
around here for a while
Raphael: Yes Sir
I tossed him the keys to Block B..
Raphael: Thank you Sir, I won't disappoint
Me: I hope so.. Those two girls I'm auctioning them
soon, I don't want them tortured nor violated
Raphael: Yes Sir
Me: Good!

ZITHA MAGASELA
[A WEEK LATER]
Our guard in charge was Raphael, and he made it
clear through his actions that he doesn't like us at
all.. What I've seen and noticed, is that he's very
much affiliated with Vhutshilo. When we outside,
they talk but try to not make it that obvious but I can
notice.
I am damn sure that he was killed by Raphael, the
whole incident might have been perpetrated by
Vhutshilo since I attacked her and Fabiano didn't do
nothing, no punishment followed after...
I don't get it, how in her crazy mind she would think
that I want her husband. That I'm after him, he is a
monster and a bastard that needs to be locked away
forever...
We were outside as always and Tshilo was standing
with Raphael, they would talk for a few seconds and
she would walk away and come back again. I
chuckled whilst shaking my head...
Peg: What?
Me: It's nothing
We saw the Thato girl walking up to us..
Thato: Hi Peg
Peg: Hi
Thato: Wanna play ball?
Peg looked at me, I looked at Tshilo. She was looking
at us..
Me: You can go Peg
She got up and they walked away, my saying no or
protesting would land me in hot waters. Definitely
Tshilo is setting me up for something...
KIRS BOSCH
Ck: At first he was suspicious but conversing more
with him.. He is just a client who is obsessed with
dark sexual fantasies. He is not in anyway affiliated
with The Mendoza
I nodded..
Ck: He is putting up 150k for the girls, not to buy
them but a weekend with them. He wants to see
them doing what they were doing in the video live
Rich: That's reasonable
Ck: Say the word and we'll fly back tomorrow and
schedule a meeting with him
Me: If you vouch for him then I guess he's clean
Ck: So we going?
Me: We'll fly out tomorrow to meet him up first and
talk about his interest in the girls
Ck: Yes Sir
Rich: How is it going at the flats?
Me: It's going good.. How the wedding preparations
going?
Ck: The ID will be arriving tomorrow and necessary
documents then you guys will go and get married
I looked at the time..
Me: I have to go to the flats, I have clients
Rich: Will you be able to make the trip tomorrow?
Since you dealing with clients?
Me: I'll try
Rich: If you can't go.. I'll go
Me: Are you sure?
Rich: Yeah I'm sure
Me: Okay.. You'll go then
Rich: I'll keep you posted
Me: Good.. I have to go Gentlemen, have a safe trip
I walked out....
THE MENDOZA
I looked at him..
Me: Do you understand the plan?
Strokes: Yes.. Yes I do
I sighed..
Me: You are going to mess up!
Strokes: I'm just nervous now but when I meet him,
I won't
Me: What?
King: This is way too easy
I looked at him..
King: This Ck guy, he gave in way too easily on the
meet up.. I don't have a good feeling about this
Me: Either way he has agreed to meet up, he is our
main target right now.. We stick to the plan we get
him
King: He's definitely not going to show up alone, I
feel there's going to be some strong defense
Strokes: We don't even know how many they are,
they can be an army.. We can't fight an army there's
only 3 of us
Me: Why didn't you guys lay out your feelings before
then? Why now?
King: We are not backing down but I think we should
go over the plan.. We meeting him in two days time
Strokes: I'm meeting him in two days time
King: Let's go over the plan one last time
ZITHA MAGASELA
Vhutshilo made her way to me..
Tshilo: Can I sit?
I looked at her.. She sat down..
Tshilo: So your muscles is gone, what a shame. I truly
admired that man
Me: We both know you were behind it
Tshilo: Is it now?
Me: Help me understand one thing.. What makes
you think that I am after your Man? That I have
something for him? That I would want him?
Tshilo: Who wouldn't? Kirs is a very powerful man
and rich. His bad body Persona makes him very
attractive
Me: I don't want your man!
Tshilo: I don't believe you!
Me: He raped me! He had me raped! He killed my
father!
Tshilo: I am going to make sure that your time here
is the most painful one, you should've never put your
hands on me! And that one
She looked at Peg..
Tshilo: I have plans for her
Me: You can come at me how you want, but you
leave Peg out of this!
She looked at me with a smirk on her face.
Tshilo: Was nice talking to you Zitha
She got up and walked away....
THE MENDOZA
Strokes: Guys
Me: What is it?
Strokes: He has confirmed our meeting, it's in 2 days
time indeed.. He says he will give me the location
tomorrow
Me: Tell him you looking forward to it
Strokes: Okay
King: We can't have him wear a wire
Me: They will know, he will be searched
King: How do we keep in contact with him without a
wire?
Me: A watch
King: A watch?
Me: He will be wearing a suit, you can't wear one
without a watch
King: We can put a bug in it
Me: It's risky but worth a try
King: Only if your boy doesn't sweat and give it away
I looked at Strokes. Strokes is a nervous wreck I hope
he will be able to pull this off.
PEGGY KUNENE
Thato: Peggy block it!
I couldn't, the ball rolled to Tshilo. She picked it up
and came to us with it..
Asa: That was a point for us!
Thato: We will get you
Tshilo: Who is leading?
Asa: I am!
Tshilo: At least there's still time
She threw the ball down and came to me..
Tshilo: Hey
Me: Hi
Tshilo: Tshilo
Me: Peggy
Tshilo: Nice to meet you
Me: Me too
Tshilo: So you and Zitha are friends?
Me: We just flatmates who get along well
Tshilo: I see
I can't tell our closeness incase we get separated..
Tshilo: Shame she must be a very depressed person
Me: Why?
Tshilo: Being here.. Her father's death
Me: Her father's death?
Tshilo: Yes.. Her father was gunned down, saw it on
the news.. MG, Philani Magasela
Me: Wait what? MG?
Tshilo: Yes.. That's his Daughter
Me: What?
Tshilo: You didn't know? How come? I thought you
two were close
Me: I have to go
Tshilo: I thought we were still playing
I made my way to Zitha..
Zitha: The game is over already?
Me: You are MG's Daughter?
She looked at Tshilo..
Me: Why didn't you tell me that your Father is the
one who put me here? The one who killed my
boyfriend!
She got up and held my arm..
Zitha: Can we talk about this when we get to the flat?
Me: Why? Why can't we talk about it now? Do you
know what happened to me in here? Do you know
how life has been for me here? You talk about Tshilo
supporting her husband when you, yourself you
watched your father do all this!! Put these girls in
here!!
Zitha: I didn't know what he was about!
Me: Bullshit!!!
Tshilo: Peg!!
Me: I want nothing to do with you anymore
I walked away and went to Tshilo..

PEGGY KUNENE
When we were taken back in, Tshilo asked me to chill
with them in their flat or the flat that was occupied
by the other girls. She had delicious food delivered
to us. Pizza and burgers. I don't know the last time I
had this, she even had wine brought in. Sweet Rosè.
We were eating and chatting, we put on music and
started dancing too. Only after a few minutes did I
start feeling nauseated. I rushed to the bathroom to
vomit everything out. I don't understand, I love junk
food..
Tshilo brought me a glass of water..
Me: Thank you
Tshilo: Are you okay?
Me: I think so
Thato: The food was nice
Me: It was, I don't know why it made me nauseated
Me: I'll be fine guys,it's probably a bad stomach bug
Asa: Unless it's a pregnant stomach bug
We looked at her..
Thato: You pregnant?
Me: No.. I can't be
Tshilo: When was the last time you were on your
periods?
Me: I don't quite remember
Thato: They didn't put you on the injection?
Me: No
Tshilo sat down..
Tshilo: It's okay.. Tomorrow I'll bring you a pregnanc
test
I thought about it..
ZITHA MAGASELA
As if like my day couldn't be fucked more, Raphael
had two of their coloured alliances come and
sexually violate me..
It were the ones from the gang, heavily tattooed, a
few missing teeth, scars, and bullet scars.. Hardcore
to the nearest hell.
Gave no care and regard to what they were doing to
me, one was laying on the mattress. I was ontop of
him, he was deep inside of me. His hands grabbing
on tightly to my butt
At least they were using condoms. The other one was
kneeling right by the other one's head. Forcing me to
give him a BJ.. He had his hand on my neck and
pushed it in deeper to my throat. The other one
moved his hands and squeezed my breasts tight..
Tears were falling as they indulged on me as if like
they never had sex in a while...
The other one who was inside of me instructed me
to pump, I didn't. I couldn't.
So the one who was making me give him a blow job
slapped me across the face..
I was told that if I don't comply, he will have 10
Guards come and sexually violate me..
I started pumping..
Him: Dis dit! (That's it)
THE MENDOZA
Right now the meeting is the only thing we have to
getting an idea about where the girls are being held.
King was coaching Strokes, I was sitting there looking
at my Sister's pictures. Debating with myself if she's
still alive or not..
King: You getting a hang of it
Strokes: Mendoza.. What do you think?
I looked at them..
Me: This means war gentlemen, we have one shot
and only one shot at this.. We can't mess it up
King: We are about to nail them, we are about to
bring them forth
Me: The justice system is not going to help
King: We take it to the upper management, we
expose Menzi for who he is
Strokes: Or we just kill them
Me: Death is an easy escape for them
King: We will make them pay lawfully, have them
locked away for the longest time
I nodded..
King: We have a good plan, we stick to the plan.. We
have them!
SIHLE
Rich was packing a bag, said he's flying down to
Gauteng tomorrow morning. He'll be back after the
meeting, when he gets back we will get married..
Rich: Your identity document will be brought
tomorrow
Me: Okay
Rich: You'll be left with Beauty and the Guards, I
believe you are going to behave
Me: I will
Rich: I'll be back before you know it
Me: I know
He gave me a shallow smile..
PEGGY KUNENE
Tshilo: In a place like this, you need friends. True
friends
Me: I see
Tshilo: I have an upper hand here too, I can make
your life less hectic
Me: I know
Tshilo: Zitha.. She.. Her Father is the reason why
most girls are here, he's orphanages. They sell those
kids to the highest bidders. Zitha has been living off
the pain and deaths of many souls. How come she
didn't know that her father was into this? She's lying
she knew! She just didn't say anything because she
was enjoying the benefits, the money, the
comfortable life.. If she was sincere then she
would've came out clean to you that her Father is
MG
Me: That's true
Tshilo: You are safe with us don't worry
I looked at them..
Me: Thank you
ZITHA MAGASELA
They took turns on me, sexually assaulting me to
their satisfaction. Biting me, having sex with me. It
was Filthy, it was very Filthy.
The other one removed the condom, and he
splashed his cum all over my face..
He walked out to the bathroom to let the other one
finish me off.. I was laying on my back on the
mattress, he was kneeling before me and deep inside
of me with his hand on my neck strangling me..
Memories of the sexual encounter at the solitary
confinement came back..
When they were doing this, a part of me was taken
away again. A part of me that I won't be able to get
back...
KIRS BOSCH
I had orders, 5 girls and 3 boys from our clients in the
US. We have to prepare them to be shipped, we will
be taking them from the Kzn Orphanage since MG's
Orphanage we still trying to get it to our side. Assign
someone else who will take over..
Khosa send me the pictures of the kids that will be
shipped. I looked at them, they were perfect..
Perfect candidates..
I sent the pictures to the clients so they can pick and
choose..
PEGGY KUNENE
Me: I think I should go back
Tshilo: It was good having you around
Me: It was good spending time with you guys
Tshilo: Let me walk you out
I said my goodbyes to the other girls and we walked
out..
Tshilo: I really like you, and I think we going to be
good friends
Me: Yaa me too
We walked to my block and I saw two coloured guys
walking out of our block..
We made our way in and Zitha was on the mattress
naked and crying, it was pretty obvious that she had
been sexually violated.
She was bleeding from her anal area too..
Me: Ohh my goodness
Tshilo: See Peg, if you stick with me. You will be
saved from this.. It won't be your fate anymore
I nodded..
Tshilo: Okay.. I'll see you tomorrow again
Me: Okay
She hugged me..
Tshilo: Bye
Me: Bye
She walked out and locked the door, I glanced down
at Zitha.. My heart sank.
.

PEGGY KUNENE
I remember when I was going through the most,
when Zitha first walked in. She saw me in that state,
and took care of me. I was at my worst, I didn't know
what to do nor where to turn too. She was there for
me, she was there without a shadow of doubt. She
could've done it from a point of guilt since her Father
was the reason why I was here, but either way she's
always been there for me.. I had a basin with water
and a face cloth towel, trying to clean her up. She
didn't push me off, she didn't become dramatic. It
was as if like her mind was absent, like she wasn't
here at all...
I heard the door unlocking, Kirs walked in.
I stopped and looked at him, his eyes fell on Zitha..
Kirs: What happened here?
Me: I..
I looked at Zitha..
Me: It's pretty obvious
Kirs: Who did this?
Me: I wasn't around when it ha, I was at the flat
across. With your wife and the other girls
He looked at her..
Me: Tshilo has always had it for Zitha, she used the
guard to have this done
Kirs: Those are serious allegations
Me: Are they?
Kirs: I run this place!
Me: Do you? Because it seems like your wife is. She's
accused Zitha of having a thing for you, she's pretty
convinced that she will take you away.. I don't
understand how, when Zitha is on this side and she's
on the other side
He didn't say anything, he just walked out and
locked...
THE MENDOZA
I brought the plate to her bedroom, she was laying
on the bed looking at Peggy's pictures.
Me: Mom
She looked at me..
Me: I brought you something to eat
Ma: I'm fine
Me: You have to eat
Ma: Can't eat without knowing if my Daughter is
okay or not, whether she's eating, or if she's still alive
Me: She's alive
Ma: Peggy is very fragile and emotionally weak.. I
don't know if she will hold on
She shook her head..
Ma: At least they should give us her body
Me: You can't think like that
Ma: What should I think? It's been a while since she's
been missing
Me: You are a firm believer in God, you always tell
me that without Faith. There's no getting through in
life.. God can save Peggy only if you keep your faith
I'm not a believer, but she is.. So it's best to use her
faith..
Me: I will find her and I will bring her back to you, I
promise
She broke down..
Ma: I've lost so much in life, I can't lose my Daughter
Me: I know.. I know
I put the plate in the dressing table and walked up to
her..
Ma: She must be scared wherever she is, crying for
me
I sat down, next to her..
Me: Her body hasn't turned up, that's good. It means
she's still kicking.. We gotta have faith in that
She nodded repeatedly with tears streaming down..
Me: You can't break apart now, she needs you to be
strong for her
Ma: Just bring my Daughter back to me, bring her
back home
Me: I will.. I promise
I held her tight...
KIRS BOSCH
He walked in..
Raphael: Sir.. You wanted to see me?
Me: Sit down
He sat down, I tossed the file at him..
Me: Take a look
He opened it..
Me: You are divorced and you have 3 girls. They
staying with their Mother.. The oldest is starting
varsity next year, your middle and last born are in
high school. A girls high school
Raphael: I don't understand Sir
Me: Everyone who works for me, I have their file
Raphael: These pictures of my girls.. When were they
taken?
Me: I always keep tabs on the families of people who
work for me.. Your wife, she's a preschool teacher.
After work she goes to her Yoga class.. Your second
born, she is a good swimmer, takes swimming
classes 3 times a week
Raphael: Stop!
He looked at me..
Raphael: What do you want from me?
Me: I think you know
He looked at me..
Me: You disobeyed direct orders, I need to know why
and who put you up to it.. I need to know everything
Raphael: I didn't wanna do this
Me: Who put you up to it?
Raphael: Your wife Sir.. She has it in for that girl really
bad, she wanted me to be in charge so she can have
any easy way to get to her
Me: Did you kill Fabiano?
He nodded..
Raphael: Yes Sir
Me: What did she have against you?
Raphael: She.. She said she will lie on me that I tried
to rape her.. Please d.. Please don't hurt my family
Me: It's okay.. I understand
Raphael: Thank you Sir
Me: You can go back to work
Raphael: Yes Sir
He got up and walked out..
I took the office phone and called Viper, one of the
Gaurds..
Viper: Sir?
Me: Raphael is no longer speaking the same
language as us.. I believe you know what to do
Viper: Yes Sir!
SIHLE
The following morning I woke up early since Rich was
leaving to bid him farewell. His plan leaves at
10:00am..
Rich: I'll be back as soon as the meeting is done
Me: Okay
Rich: Won't take more than 2 days
Me: I know
He held my hands..
Rich: I love you Sihle, and I don't wanna be the end
of you
I looked at him..
Rich: Do behave.. It's crucial
He gave me a kiss..
He picked up his bag and walked up to the door..
Me: Hey!
He turned and looked at me..
Me: I love you too
He smiled at me..
He opened the door and walked out..
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
I woke up in a very good mood this morning.
Everything was going my way..
I prepared myself to go to the flats, Kirs.. It didn't
seem like he was around. I walked up to the door and
punched in the code but I got "Access denied". I tried
again, but still..
That was odd..
Kirs: I changed the code last night when I got in
I turned and looked at him..
Me: I thought you weren't around
He looked at me..
Me: What's wrong? Why did you change the code?
Security bridge?
He walked up to me..
Me: Kirs what's wrong?
He gave me his odd shallow smile..
Kirs: I love you
Me: I love you too
Kirs: It's always been us, always been you and I
Me: Yes of course
Kirs: I can't trust you again
Me: Huh?
Kirs: You had Fabiano killed
Me: What? Why would you think that way?
Kirs: Stop lying to me.. Raphael confessesed
everything
Me: Whatever he told you.. He's lying
Kirs: You made my authority be questioned, my wife
calling the shots? Do you know how weak that makes
me look?
Me: Kirs.. I.. I can explain
Kirs: I hope you kissed your daughter goodnight last
night, because that was the only time with her
Me: Kirs!! Please don't do this
I walked up to the door and punched in the code, the
door opened..
Kirs: You can take her
Two Guards walked in..
Me: Kirs No!!! Don't do this to me
ZITHA MAGASELA
I was woken up the following morning by the bell, no
matter how much I tried to ignore but still..
I rose up from the pillow, I looked around.
Peg was sleeping next to me..
The bell continued and continued..
I got up from the mattress and went to the window,
I couldn't see anything..
I went back to the mattress, the door was unlocked..
Another Guard walked in, I felt scared..
Him: Are you Zitha?
I froze..
Him: Are you Zitha?
I nodded..
Him: Come with me, I was told to show you
something
I stood there..
Him: It's the Boss'orders!
I swallowed.. He walked up to me..
He tried to touch me but I started hitting him off..
Me: No!!!! (shouting)
Him: Calm down!
Me: Leave me alone!!! Leave me alone!!
Peg woke up..
Peg: What's happening?
He picked me up and put me over his shoulder..
Me: Put me down!!!
Peg: Wait?? Where are you taking her?
He walked out with me and put me down at the
balcony..
Me: What are you doing?
Him: Look!
I looked over, Raphael was nailed on the ground.
Same way how Jesus was crucified.
Except he was totally naked, he was up on a cross..
He was still alive, he was moving but in a lot of pain..
.
62
ZITHA MAGASELA
It was quiet around the flat, each to their own. Was
trying to process what happened to Raphael, he was
clinging on that cross as if like he was about to take
his last breath.
Only Kirs can do this, or Vhutshilo. They the ones
with that authority..
Peg: Here's a glass of water
Me: You don't have to do this Peg
Peg: I want too
Me: You hate me
Peg: Why didn't you tell me?
Me: I was ashamed, felt guilty.. I didn't know he was
doing this for all these years I didn't know what my
Father was doing
Peg: We've been here for a while now, these people
are damn smart. If your Father, if you didn't know..
That means he was good at it
She sat next to me..
Peg: I'm really sorry.. I feel like Tshilo lured me to the
flat, get me away so that they.. I'm really sorry
She held my hand..
Me: They took advantage of me, took advantage of
my body without my permission! They felt entitled
to it, felt like they owned me.. They didn't have
remorse, they showed no mercy. I was vulnerable
and in the hands of men who have no regard nor
respect for a woman!!
Tears fell..
Peg: I think I'm pregnant
I looked at her..
Me: What?
Peg: I think I'm pregnant.. Don't you suspect too?
Me: No..I.. I have a coil
Peg: Lucky you
Me: If you are pregnant, what's your decision?
She shrugged her shoulders..
Peg: I don't know.. I really don't know
Me: I'll support you in everything that you decide
Peg: I know.. Thank you, again.. I'm very sorry
Me: Me too
The door was unlocked and the same Guard who
took me out to see Raphael walked in. Peg tightened
her grip on my hand..
Him: My name is Viper, I'm in charge
We didn't say anything..
Viper: You two have a roommate
We looked at each other..
Viper: Bring her in!!
Two Guards walked in carrying Vhutshilo..
They threw her down..
Viper and the other Guards walked out..
Peg and I looked at each other puzzled...
RICH
Ck and I we were in the plane..
Ck: Tomorrow morning at 11am
Me: Yes
Ck: We meeting them where?
Me: Let's try a public place, a restaurant perhaps
Ck: Are we sure that we wanna play such explicit
content in a restaurant?
Me: A public place, the civilians minimize any
chances of us being at risk. Detaining us will result in
a turmoil, a shootout that will put civilians in danger
Ck: Yeah you right.. I get your point.. I'll Sms Kirs the
details of our meeting tomorrow
Me: Very well
THE MENDOZA
King: We got the Suit
Strokes: And the watch
Me: Good
Strokes: Just waiting for the venue of the meeting
Me: He said he will contact you when?
Strokes: Today, just didn't mention the time
King: I'll put the tracker in the watch
I looked at Strokes..
Me: How are you feeling?
Strokes: Nervous
Me: We will be there just in hiding
Strokes: I know
Me: The tracker is for when we lose you
Strokes: I know
Me: Thank you for doing this, I know it's hard
Strokes: Glad to help, I hope tomorrow's meeting
shines light on where your sister is
Me: Me too
ZITHA MAGASELA
I got up and walked up to her, I looked at her.
Tshilo: If you wanna kill me, you can do it now
I shook my head..
Me: No that would be an easy way out
Peg: What happened? Why are you here?
Me: Do you even have to ask? The so praised
Husband turned against her
Peg: Is that true?
Tshilo: Look.. We don't have to be friends, you can
go on about your business and I'll go on about mine
She got up and walked to the bathroom..
Peg: What did she do?
Me: Whatever it is.. It's big
We heard her sobbing in the bathroom..
KIRS BOSCH
I can look after my Daughter but in my line of work,
it's dangerous. Anything can happen.
Vhutshilo betrayed me, this kind of betrayal is very
dangerous. It can go on further and further until it
puts me in a very tight position with my Partners. I've
warned her, I've tried to keep her in life. I love my
wife but not more than to risk everything I've worked
for, for her
I hope the flats will remind her, where I got her.
Where she came from..
I was driving my Daughter down to my
Grandmother's place. Sort of a farm, far from here
where no one knows except for me..
She'll be more safer there from everything, my
Grandmother raised me. I know she's going to raise
my Daughter well too..
I looked over at her, she was passed out on the
passenger's seat. It's going to be a long drive...
ZITHA MAGASELA
I walked into the bathroom, she was sitting at the
corner hugging her legs..
Tshilo: I know you wanna gloat, get it over and done
with
Me: Do you know what they do to us here? Do you
know what they put us through? Do you know the
evil that goes down here?
Tshilo: I know.. I've witnessed it a few times
Me: Then why are you quiet? Why are you protecting
him? Why you never did something?
Tshilo: Please leave me alone
Me: Look where he has put you! You are not the
Trophy Wife anymore, you are one of us!
Tshilo: What do you want me to do?
Me: I want you to stop protecting him and do the
right thing!! Smell the coffee Tshilo! This man
doesn't love you! You can't seriously be this stupid!!!
Tshilo: My husband..
Me: Kirs!! He's not your husband anymore, he's
Kirs!!
She kept quiet.. I walked out..
Peg: She's not going to give you what you want
Me: How come?
Peg: She knows her husband more than anyone...
She's been with him and accepted this, she feels
like.. Her loyalty will always lie with him
I sat down..
Peg: To get through to her, you will have to break the
walls that Kirs created around her mentally

KIRS BOSCH
We arrived at the farm, late at night.. My
Grandmother was thrilled to see us, I don't come
here more often.. I don't wanna alert anyone who
might be an enemy about my safe place...
Gram: Look at Azelea, she has grown
Me: That she has
She looked at me..
Gram: What happened?
I looked at her..
Gram: What happened
I looked at Azelea..
Me: Tshi.. Tshilo left
She looked at Azelea..
Gram: You know I have new puppies in the shack,
wanna see them?
Azelea nodded..
Gram: Go ahead, I'll be there
Azelea ran out..
Gram: What happened?
Me: She felt like she didn't want to be with me
anymore
She nodded..
Me: I can't take care of Azelea, I need her to stay here
Gram: What about school?
Me: I'll look into it
Gram: Sit down.. I'll cut you a slice of my apple pie
Me: I thought you were never going to offer me a pie
I sat down..
ZITHA MAGASELA
I glanced down at my food. Rice&chicken stew with
a glass of water on the side..
Peg: I don't wanna wake up tomorrow to a dead
body in the flat
Me: I started my search when my assistant went
missing, I found out that Vhutshilo knew the Person
who had abducted her. I contacted her, I trusted her
because she was a woman. She showed up that night
with her husband in my house, I opened my home to
her. Kirs gunned down my father and then that's how
they got me. They made him confess his sins before
they killed him
Peg: I know and understand your pain, I understand
your anger and pain and how much you want her
head on the chopper, but if you kill her or hurt her
how are you different from them? You will be a killer
too!
Peg: An eye for an eye makes the world go blind,
revenge births death
Me: But who the fuck is keeping score? In this world
Peg we live by one motto. "Do unto others, as you
would have them do unto you"
Peg: I'll go check up on her, she's been quiet
She got up from the mattress and walked to the
bathroom
THE MENDOZA
Strokes brought in the meat..
Strokes: Here we go gentlemen
Ck got back to us.. The meeting is at 11am tomorrow
morning
King: To tomorrow
Me: To tomorrow
We all raised our beer bottles..
We were having a mini party for tomorrow...
PEGGY KUNENE
Me: Hey
Tshilo: Hey
I sat down next to her and kept quiet..
Tshilo: My worst nightmare has come true, that my
husband one day will punish me this way
Me: What happened?
Tshilo: He was falling for another woman, he was
falling for Zitha
Me: How did you know?
Tshilo: I saw it, I could tell.. I saw it in his eyes
Me: You couldn't trust him but you could've trusted
Zitha
Tshilo: What if life became more unbearable for her
here and she started to fall for him too
Me: Tshilo your Husband is a ruthless Man
Tshilo: But he's still my Husband, sick as it sounds but
he's still my husband! The only man I know.. I just
need to find a way to make him trust me again,
forgive me
This was difficult, Kirs has programmed this woman
and uncoding her is going to be difficult..
KIRS BOSCH
Gram: I wish you could stay longer
Me: I know.. I have work, I have to drive back
tomorrow morning
Gram: I did well with you right? I raised you well?
Me: You did
I grew up in an orphanage where life was hardcore,
where I was in the face of brutal abuse everyday. The
women who worked there were sick, they raped and
tortured us.
My Grandmother came for me, and got me out. My
Parents were junkies and my Father ended up in jail.
My Mother died from OD (drug overdose).
My Grandmother was a loving Person but the
damage was already done, and inflicting pain on
others has been my coping mechanism ever since...
Gram: Do you go to church?
Me: I...
Gram: Kirs
Me: I haven't had time
Gram: You find time!
Me: Yes Mam!
RICH
We were staying in a hotel, different rooms.
I couldn't wait for this meeting to be over so that I
could go back home and marry the woman that I
love..
I heard a knock at the door..
I went to check, it was CK..
Ck: How are you settling in?
Me: It's not bad, just can't wait for the meeting
Ck: Me too
I yawned, I haven't been feeling well since our last
meal. I was feeling very drowsy.
Ck: Are you okay?
I looked around, the room started to appear a bit
blurry
I blinked a few times..
Ck: I can't believe I pulled this off
Me: What are you talking about?
Ck: I spiked your drink earlier on before it was
brought to you
Me: What? Why?
Ck: It's over Rich.. It's all over!
I tried to get up but I fell back to the bed..
THE MENDOZA
King: I need to retire and go home
Me: Life of a married Man
My phone rang, it was a private number..
Me: Excuse Me
I got up and walked out to answer..
Me: Hello?
Voice: Mendoza
Me: Who is this?
Voice: I have Kirs'trusted Partner
Me: Who is this?
Voice: I've been trying to get them for years and I
finally did it
Me: Who are you?
Voice: I just don't know how to get him out of the
hotel without raising any concerns
Me: I asked who this is
Voice: I'm CK, we already know each other
You gotta be kidding me!

THE MENDOZA
This call was not expected and very suspicious..
Ck: Look I can help you find your Sister, I know who
runs the Ring
Me: This might be nothing but a setup, how do I
know that I can trust you?
Ck: I followed you when you went to bury Yvonne's
body, I know were you buried her that night and if I
had bad intentions towards you, I could've long set
you up
My heart started beating fast..
Ck: I will explain everything to you but right now you
need to trust me
Me: Why should I trust you?
Ck: Because you don't have a choice. I'm the only link
to you finding your Sister.. Have a little faith, lighting
might just have struck your way. When I get off the
call, I'll Sms you the hotel name, if you don't show up
tonight that means you not serious.. You can call me
when you here I'll come to get you.. Ohh if you don't
trust me, you can bring along your friend Strokes.
Please do inform him that the meeting is off.. This is
the plan!
After saying that, he hung up...
ZITHA MAGASELA
Peg was sitting and rubbing her tummy, I went and
sat next to her..
Me: Hey
Peg: Hey
Me: You good?
Peg: I'm good
(Silence)
Peg: I don't believe in abortion
Me: We don't even know who the father is
Peg: Fabiano was the first guard to sexually violate
me, then the another guard
Me: And Kirs that night when we..
Peg: Fabiano helped us, despite his evil intentions at
first but he ended up helping us
Me: That's true
Peg: I hope it's his
Me: Me too
(Silence)
Me: Whatever you decide, I'll be with you every step
of the way
I held her hand..
Peg: I know
Tshilo walked out of the bathroom, she went and laid
down on the mattress. I attempted to get up, but Peg
held my hand tight..
Peg: Don't!!
I settled down..
THE MENDOZA
Strokes: Can we think about this first?
Me: He's the only link to me finding my Sister
King: It could be a setup
Me: We have to find out
Strokes: I don't like this, not at all
SIHLE
Since I'm not trusted as yet, Rich was meant to call
me on Beauty's phone..
Beauty: Maybe he's sleeping, maybe he's tired
I shook my head..
Me: He keeps his word
Beauty: It's 21:00 at night
Me: Something is wrong, I can feel it
Beauty: Sihle
Me: Something is wrong!! Something is definitely
wrong!!
She sat down..
Beauty: Let's wait for another hour
I am scared, if something happened to Rich. I might
be taken away, away to somewhere that I don't even
know...
CK (KIRS PI)
I looked at him, he was on the bed fast asleep. I had
tied him up..
I was pacing up and down nervously..
If the Mendoza doesn't show up, I'm screwed! I've
worked damn hard to not get screwed...
After about an hour of my contacting him, he texted
me that he was downstairs. I got out of the room and
locked, then I walked downstairs to get him..
He wasn't alone, he had two other gentlemen with
him.. I walked up to him..
Me: Ck
I stretched out my hand to him, he looked at it at first
then seleaed it with a handshake.
Him: Mendoza
Me: Come with me
They followed me in, I went to the counter.
Me: Good evening
Receptionist: Hi
Me: These are my friends, they with the FBI
The Receptionist looked at us..
Receptionist: Should we be worried?
Me: Not yet
She nodded..
Me: Don't breath a word but there's suspicious
activity in my floor
She freaked out..
Me: Keep calm, we'll sort it out
The other gentlemen walked through..
Him: I'm detective King Nkambule
He showed his credentials..
King: What's your name?
Receptionist: Mandy
King: Mandy keep calm as you can, we don't wanna
alert other clients as yet. We wanna keep this
discreet. Act normal and we will tell you when we
done
She nodded..
Me: Gentlemen we can go
They followed me to my room, I unlocked and
opened. They walked in..
Me: There
King took out his gun and pointed it at me.
King: Why did you contact us?
Me: If I wanted to screw you guys up, I would've sold
you out tomorrow morning at the meeting
Mendoza: Keep calm King
Me: We can take him out of here to any place of your
choice, I'll explain everything there
He looked at me..
Me: I called you here didn't I?
Mendoza: How do we get out of here before
someone notices?
Me: Paramedics
King: Paramedics?
Me: They on their way, he will be taken out as
someone who over dosed
Strokes: He will be taken to the hospital
Me: I have a friend there whomst I contacted
already, they on their way
King: Should we trust this Person?
Mendoza: He called us here didn't he?
King lowered the gun...
KIRS BOSCH
I was having a smoke outside, I took out my phone
and saw I had an Email..
I checked, it was from Rich..
"We have arrived, contact you tomorrow when we
go to the meeting"
I Emailed him back:
"I trust you"
Email sent..
THE MENDOZA
Me: Guys you need to calm down
Strokes: This is too good to be true, and when
something is too good to be true it actually is
Me: He called us here
Strokes: I don't like this.. I don't like this at all
The door opened, Ck and King walked in with the
"Paramedic".. He had a stretcher bed..
They also walked in with the Receptionist.
Mandy: Ohh my God!!
Ck: He over dosed. If this gets out, the hotel will be
tainted in a very bad way
King: He's a high profile person, a rich businessman
it gets to the papers the hotel's reputation is at stake
She looked around and saw the cocaine on the small
table...
Paramedic: His pulse is faint, we have to get him to
the hospital
King: Go back to the Reception and keep calm, do
your job
Mandy: Okay.. Okay
She walked out..
Strokes: What now?
Ck: We get him to the ambulance and it will go where
you guys direct us
Me: King you will ride with them, we will follow. We
to my house Strokes place
Strokes: Whoaaa! My place?
Ck: We need to get going
Paramedic: Let's get him on the bed, need some
help.. Put an oxygen mask around him but we don't
turn it on.. It's just a decoy
Strokes: My place??
ZITHA MAGASELA
We were trying to get some sleep but Tshilo was
sobbing.. I tossed and turned..
Me: Can you please keep it quiet?
She continued..
Me: Tshilo!!!
I was sleeping in the middle...
Tshilo: I'm sorry
Me: Crying won't change anything! You here, he put
you in here.. Suck it up and live with it!
She got up and walked to the bathroom, she closed
the door..
I rolled my eyes and tried to sleep..
THE MENDOZA
We were following the Ambulance to Strokes place..
Strokes: "Strokes place" You really wanted to put me
in danger?
Me: We will cross that bridge when we get there
Strokes: Why are you so trusting of this guy?
Me: Because..
I thought about Yvonne..
Me: He seems Genuine!
CK (KIRS PI)
I was at the back of the ambulance with Rich, King
was riding at the front..
I took out my wallet and looked at Zitha's picture...
Me: Hold on Cuz... I'm coming to get you!

CK (ZITHA'S COUSIN)
After tying up Rich to the chair, making sure that he
doesn't escape when he wakes up. I was put on the
hot seat, to be questioned..
Me: My name is Ncedi Khumalo, but I am called "CK".
Studied Information Technology & Electronics at the
University of Johannesburg. Couldn't get a job that's
when I started teaching myself coding and
programming, I started going into the world of
hacking. Kirs recruited me, I became his Hacker
uploading and distributing Pornographic content
without it being traced back to him. He had me
trained to be a PI too
Mendoza: For how long have you been working for
him?
Me: 2-3 years
King: Why betray him now?
Me: When I found out about my cousin missing I
knew he had her
Mendoza: Who is your cousin?
Me: Zitha Magasela.. My Mom and her Mom are
identical twins
King: He didn't know you were cousins?
Me: When my Aunt got married she changed from
Khumalo to Magasela, different surnames helped
me for Kirs not to know
Mendoza: How did you get my number?
Me: Strokes, I hacked his phone
Mendoza looked at Strokes..
Strokes: What? How?
Me: When we communicated privately, I was able to
get into your phone.. I basically know who you keep
incontact with
Mendoza: What? How can you be so careless?
Me: He wasn't my IQ is higher than that of Albert
Einstein by 1%
Strokes pulled a chair and sat down..
Strokes: I stole R5s that amounted to 150k from
different bank accounts before being caught
Me: I hacked an ATM once and confused the
program to dispense multiple R100s, I've hacked
offshore accounts without being traced
Strokes: He's good.. He's very good.. Can we perhaps
work together after all this is said and done?
Mendoza: As much as I like the romance but back to
the important thing
King: Can you get the girls?
Me: Yes
Mendoza: Do you know where they held?
Me: Yes
King: Good.. I'll contact the authorities
Me: You can't
King: We know where they are, we gate crash and
send the bastards to jail
Me: I did tell about my IQ right? Don't you think if
authorities could help, I would've went to them first?
They looked at me..
Me: You gate crash, Kirs will be out of prison after a
year max and when he does. He will come for every
female that you care about
Mendoza: We listening
Me: We are going to trade him Rich for the girls
King: I don't negotiate with Kidnappers
Me: Then we screwed, we might as well let Rich go
and dig up our graves
Mendoza: How can we save all the girls?
Me: We can't.. We can only save 2, then we let him
be
King: That is bullshit
Me: Might as well release Rich and we all get
passports and move to another country
Mendoza: How do we get him?
Me: First we get the girls, and we worry about that
later
ZITHA MAGASELA
The next morning, I was woken up by Peg vomiting
in the bathroom. The wrenching sound was the one
that woke me up..
I usually sleep in the early hours of the morning, each
night when I try to close my eyes I either get woken
up by nightmares or a Panic attack..
I noticed that Tshilo was up, sitting in the corner and
just staring into the blank space.
The door unlocked, Viper let the Guard in.
He had brought us breakfast..
Tshilo: Viper can I talk to my Husband?
Viper: No
Tshilo: Please I just want him to hear me out
Viper: No
Tshilo crawled up to him and knelt before him
hugging his leg..
Tshilo: Please.. I just wanna talk to him
Viper hit him with the stick he was holding and threw
her off him, she laid there crying.
They walked out and locked, I looked at Tshilo..
Me: So Pathetic!!
RICH
I woke up to find myself tied on the chair, in an
unusual place. I saw The Mendoza standing there.. I
recognize him from the pictures that were collected
of him, and from the press conference..
Mendoza: Good morning
Me: Where is CK?
Ck: I'm right here
He walked in..
Me: What are you doing?
Ck: Something that needed to be done
I chuckled..
Me: I admire your confidence, you know what we
about right? So why are you doing this?
Ck: I'm taking my chances
Me: Many have tried this, Many have watched their
loved ones suffering
Mendoza: I don't think you are in the position to
make any threats
Me: I don't do threats, I state facts.. Ck knows
Mendoza: Enough about the Bullshit!
Me: Can I get a glass of water?
Mendoza: What?
Me: I have a headache and I'm thirsty
Mendoza: You'll get water when we feel like it
Me: Can I make a phone call to my almost fiancé? We
supposed to get married soon
Mendoza: You are not getting anything! Until we get
what we want!!
Me: Let's hear it, what do you want?
Mendoza: A trade
Me: A trade?
Mendoza: Yes
Me: Your Sister?
Ck: And my cousin
I nodded..
Ck: I'm going to make a call to Kirs, from your phone..
I'm going to put you on loud speaker
He made the call...
Kirs: Brother
Me: Ck is a rat
Kirs: Huh?
Me: He captured me with the Mendoza, they want
to do a trade.. The girls for me
Kirs: The Girls?
Ck: Zitha and Peggy
Kirs: Are you serious right now? Are you really doing
this Ck?
Me: I asked him the same thing
Kirs: I'm not releasing the girls for Rich!
They looked at each..
Kirs: You guys can kill him, torture him but you not
getting the girls!
He hung up..
Mendoza: He doesn't care about you, did you hear
that?
Me: I know
Mendoza: You still going to protect him?
Me: In our operation it's all about business, you get
caught you get caught.. If you going to kill me make
it quick
Ck: Something is wrong
Mendoza: What do you mean?
Me: He didn't know about that
Mendoza: We need to talk!
KIRS BOSCH
I slammed the cellphone against the table.
Me: Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!!!
This wasn't happening, Ck didn't just betray me. Rich
is not held captured somewhere!
Why does it look like I'm getting betrayed left, right,
and center..
Gram: What happened?
I calmed down..
Me: My.. I.. My business partner he's had an accident
Gram: We should pray for him
Me: This doesn't need a prayer
Gram: Kirs we should pray
I sighed..
Gram: Come on now
I followed her...
THE MENDOZA
Me: What the fuck?
Ck: That was unexpected
Me: You said he was his right hand man
Ck: He is!
Me: He doesn't care about him!
Ck: Something is definitely wrong
Me: What's wrong is that Kirs knows you betrayed
him, now he's going to kill my sister!
Ck: You blaming me?
Me: I should've seen this coming!
Ck: just give me a second to think
Me: We fucked!!
I threw everything down from the table..
Me: Fuck!!!
RICH
This was a messy situation, no one has ever come
this close.. Ck knows almost everything about us..
How did Kirs not see this one coming?
I hope he has something on this kid!

CK (ZITHA'S COUSIN)
Rich: You didn't think this far, did you?
I looked at him..
Rich: You really thought Kirs was going to give up the
girls just to save me?
Me: Where is Kirs?
Rich: What?
Me: He's not at his place.. Where is he?
Rich: I am not his keeper
Me: Kirs doesn't go to a business meeting without
alerting the trusted Partners, if he had gone to one
yesterday he was going to send you an Email before
we alerted him about this.. I checked through your
Emails, you have old emails from him but nothing
about yesterday
Rich: I don't know where Kirs is
Me: So where his gone, it's a Personal endeavor
Rich: How about you call him and then we ask him?
I'm sure he will gladly tell us
Me: He put his wife in the flats for punishment,
where is his Daughter?
Rich: I'm not his keeper I said
Mendoza walked in..
Mendoza: Any progress?
Me: We need to find his Daughter
Mendoza looked at Rich..
Mendoza: His Daughter?
Me: Kirs'Daughter
Mendoza: He has a Daughter?
Me: Yes that he's trying hard to hide, Kirs doesn't
care about anything or anyone but I believe he cares
for his Daughter hence why he's always hid her from
everything
Mendoza: We not going to kidnap and torture a little
girl are we?
Me: Of course not.. I'm not a monster, but he won't
know that
Mendoza: Huh?
Me: There's esthetic makeup
Mendoza: Make him think he's Daughter is being
tortured
Me: Yes
Mendoza: How do we find her?
Me: He wouldn't stay with her in the house especially
not since he put his wife away, so we need to find
where he's keeping her
Mendoza: That's Perfect
KIRS BOSCH
Gram: Here.. Take this
I took the Tupperware..
Gram: Apple pie
Me: Thank you
I looked at Azelea.. I crouched and looked at her, I
held her hand..
Me: My Angel
She looked at me...
Me: Daddy has to go
Azelea: You going home?
Me: Yes..
Azelea: I am coming with you?
Me: No.. You can't stay with me, you will stay here
with Gram
Azelea: How will I go to school?
Me: I've already told them that you visiting Gram, I'll
come back and get you okay?
Azelea: You going to come back with Mommy?
Me: Yes.. I'll come back with Mommy
Azelea: I like it here.. Gram has puppies
Me: I'm glad you like it
I kissed her on her forehead..
Me: I love you
Azelea: I love you too
I hugged her..
Me: Be good right?
Azelea: I will
I stood up straight..
Me: Thank you Gram
Gram: She's safe here don't worry
Me: I know
I walked up to her and hugged her..
Me: I love you
Gram: I love you too.. Don't worry about us, we will
be fine
I nodded..
Me: I'll see you guys this weekend
Gram: Okay
They walked me to my car....
ZITHA MAGASELA
We were taken outside for fresh air...
Tshilo didn't wanna come, but Viper forced her. She
was chilling with her squad, at least there's people
who are still her friends...
It's amazing how life turns out, one moment you are
the Queen here the next moment you are one of us...
Peg: Why are we getting special treatment?
Me: What do you mean?
Peg: They don't abuse us as much anymore
Me: I don't know
Peg: Don't you find it odd?
Me: I really don't care Peg, there's no special
treatment we still get treated like shit
Peg: It was better than before
Me: How? I got raped again not so long ago
She held my hand..
Peg: I know
Me: I just want to get out of here! With each stay, a
part of our sanity goes away.. Look at you, you now
can't function without pills
Peg: It's a long term commitment but at least it
makes me think straight
I chuckled...
Me: Insane you are
Peg: What can I say
We looked at each other..
Peg: Thank you for being here
Me: Thank you for being here
She leaned closer and we kissed...
THE MENDOZA
I went to check on Rich..
Rich: For how long are you guys going to keep me
here?
Me: Long enough
I looked at him...
Me: Why are you doing this? Why are you involved
in such terrible things. Don't you have Sisters? A
female that you care for? How do you enjoy a
luxurious life funded by a woman's pain?
Rich: In this world there's a lot of Evil that lingers
around everywhere. You are an FBI, you do good or
you think you do good. I know that in your line of
work, sometimes you get compromised to act out of
character. It comes with the job doesn't it? How
many people have you killed?
Me: All the People I've killed in my line of work
deserved to die! They were doing more harm than
good
Rich: Who are you to pass on that judgment? Bad as
their acts were but a hand never has to take a life or
pass the judgment of death on another life. It was
not for you to take their lives.. See Agent, we are all
capable of evil. It's only a matter of time as to when
do we let that evil take over.. Don't stand there and
pass judgment on me when we are all capable of evil
Me: We are nothing alike
Rich: But we are, just because you can justify taking
a life it doesn't make it right!.. All of this, how many
protocols did you break to save your sister? I know
you killed your partner in cold blood just because she
betrayed you.. Is her death justifiable? You could've
taken her in but you have a goal to meet, that's why
I'm here too.. Now you going after a child that is
innocent, another protocol being broken.. So Agent,
how are you different from me? We are both the
same. We are both capable of evil, the only
difference is that I don't hide mine behind the batch!
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
Asa: We are screwed!
Thato: How did this happen?
Me: It doesn't matter how it happened, what
matters is that I am here now
Thato: No one must know that you are a part of us,
it's dangerous.. All the girls that are here, are here
because of your husband
Asa: They know that you are the Madam and they all
wish for your head on a silver platter
I looked at Zitha and Peg, being all Lovey dovey..
Thato: Can't you switch flats?
Me: I don't have any power anymore
Asa sighed..
Me: My Daughter, I know she's asking where I am
now.. How can Kirs do this to me?
Thato: Vhutshilo I don't know how you lost your
hand in this.. A woman knows her husband, she
knows how to play her hand on him. There's buttons
only you can push that will bring a softer side to him,
a side that no one knows.. How did you let him do
this?
Asa: Thato
Thato: No!! Now our favours are gone, we going to
be treated the same as everyone here! We fucked!!!
ZITHA MAGASELA
I had my hand on her tummy..
Peg: How do you think life would turn out if I keep
the baby?
Me: It's going to be hard at first but I'll always be here
for you and the baby
Peg: I don't wanna raise my baby here, this is not
place for a child to be raised in
Me: I know, but we will make it work. Plus we have
what? 9 months to go?
Peg: Yaa.. It's so funny how I don't know the father
Me: It doesn't matter who the Father is, what
matters is the baby growing up differently with love
Peg: True
She placed her hand on mine..
Peg: And people say you have to be lesbian to fall for
another woman?
Me: Love is love, it can't differentiate
She placed her hand on my cheek..
Peg: That's true
We kissed again...

CK (ZITHA'S COUSIN)
When I get into my working and thinking mode, I
shut the whole world out and concentrate only on
what I'm doing..
It took hours and hours to try and locate where Kirs
Daughter could be, we need her to make this work.
To save the girls..
Mendoza: How far along are you guys?
I was working with Strokes..
Strokes: It's difficult, it's like this guy went into great
lengths to hide who he is and his private life
Mendoza: There has to be something, we need to
find something
Strokes: He's good as living in an island or a forest, or
a farm!
He laughed..
Me: A farm?
They looked at me..
Me: That's it!! A farm
Strokes: A farm?
Me: There was a time when the Brothers on their
casual meetings they would talk about vacations,
and Kirs used to hint that he would go to a farm
because that's where he would feel most relaxed
and at a peace
Strokes: Maybe he was saying that because he would
want to go there one day
Me: No.. Others would say Greece, Thai-Land and
what not he was the only one who chose a less
attractive place
Mendoza: Uncode for us
Me: If you are rich and I mean very rich, why would
you settle for a boring place unless it's sentimental
Strokes: That's true
Mendoza: Which farm?
Me: I don't know but Rich might know
We all looked at each other..
Strokes: He won't crack
Me: He will, he's supposed to get married soon!
We all got up and went to him..
ZITHA MAGASELA
We were back in the flat but Tshilo didn't come back
in with us, I think she talked her way into chilling with
her friends for a while.
Peg came to me, I was sitting on the bathroom floor
leaning against the wall at the corner. I closed the
notebook and put it away, she sat in front of me and
rested her arms on my knees since they were raised
up
She looked at me..
Me: Something on your mind?
Peg: You spend a lot of time writing in the notebook
Me: It's my way of dealing with things that happened
to me
Peg: Care to share?
Me: Maybe one day
Peg: You don't trust me?
Me: I trust you, but sometimes one doesn't have to
know about the other one's thoughts
Peg: True
I brushed her afro back with my hand..
Me: You haven't written any songs
Peg: I can't think
Me: I understand
Peg: Are we attracted to each other because we
don't wanna be with any man anymore?
Me: I'll never be with a man or around one and feel
comfortable, I don't see them the same way again
Peg: I get you.. I just want to know if we still going to
be together if we ever make it out of here? Or are we
with each other because we need each other?
Me: I will be with you even when we make it out of
here, only if you will be with me
Peg: I promise
Me: I promise you too
I leaned over and kissed her...
SIHLE
Beauty: Sihle
I looked at her..
Beauty: Can we talk?
Me: Something happened to Rich right?
She sat down..
Me: What happened to him?
Beauty: Kirs, his business partner called one of the
Guards and..
Me: And what?
Beauty: Rich is in a tight spot for now, but he's okay..
They trying to get him back
Me: Tight spot? What tight spot?
Beauty: He's going to be fine
I nodded..
Beauty: Usually you would ask "What about me?
What's going to happen to me" but you didn't.. You
just asked about him, you fell deeper than you
anticipated right?
Me: I know it's wrong and sickening
Beauty: No it's not.. It's not
Me: I'm used to him coming back home at a certain
time everyday, us eating dinner and watching TV or
me reading him a novel.. I miss those times you
know, us making love
Beauty: You need to understand that you are with a
man who is in a dangerous operation, such will
happen all the time and you need to be strong
I nodded..
Me: I will
Beauty: He'll be back
THE MENDOZA
Me: You give us the name of the farm
Rich: What's in it for me?
Ck: You'll get back to your wife to be, possibly get
married
Rich: If I don't?
Ck: We send authorities there to rescue her
Me: Trusted authorities
Rich: If I do will you let me go?
Ck: When we get her.. Yes
Ck took out the Girlfriend's picture from Rich's
wallet..
Ck: This might be the last time you see her, look at
her
Rich: Turn on Google maps, I'll give you the location
I looked at CK, he took out his phone..
KIRS BOSCH
I was driving back home..
I had a lot of thinking to do on the way, on my drive
back home..
Zitha and Peggy are causing me more trouble than
what their worth. I could sell them off but that's
going to take time, they will try to trace them. Ck is
smart and he knows a lot about us.. Rich knew what
the business is about, you get caught you on your
own.. Ck will pay for this, when I get there I'm going
to have the girls killed in the most brutal way and
record it then send them to show them that they
don't mess with me..
THE MENDOZA
I called King, he was at work..
King: Hey
Me: I found the location I'm going there, it's
approximately an 8 hours drive..
King: Who are you going with?
Me: Ck
King: Are you sure about this?
Me: If he has led us astray I'll put a bullet on him.. I
need you to constantly check up on Rich, Strokes
might fuck up
King: I will
Me: I'll keep you posted
King: Have a safe trip
Ck walked in..
Ck: Are you ready to go?
Me: Do you know how to use a gun?
Ck: Yes
Me: I'll give you Yvonne's gun, when we get there
you shoot anything and anyone that stands in our
way
Ck: Yeah cool
Me: Let's go
.

RICH
It's been a while since the boys left, they had left me
in the care of Strokes.. He was sitting there on his
computer and kept on stealing glances at me..
Me: Why are you doing this?
He looked at me..
Strokes: Sorry?
Me: You don't seem like a type to get involved in
such
Strokes: I'm helping a friend
Me: Friends don't let their friends do such things,
especially if the friend is good. You don't come across
as someone who do such
Strokes: Yeah.. You shouldn't have been involved in
his Sister's disappearance
Me: I didn't kidnap her, I gave them a location didn't
I?
Strokes: When they get the girls, they will let you go
Me: Do you believe that?
Strokes: They not killers
Me: Tell me something, how do you think this is
going to end for you?
Strokes: What do you mean?
Me: You entangled in something dangerous, do you
think my associates won't know that you were
involved?
He kept quiet..
Me: I'm not a bad Person
He looked at me..
Me: If I was, the woman I'm about to get married too
wouldn't have agreed to marry me
Strokes: Well either way..
Me: Can I have a glass of water?
Strokes: I don't think so
Me: It's just a glass of water
He got up and walked to the kitchen..
ZITHA MAGASELA
I moved up from kissing her on her thighs, to her
tummy and finally on her neck. Then I kissed her on
the lips, and lowered my hand down to her coochie..
I was a bit worried about this, worried that it might
make her uncomfortable. I looked at her..
Me: If you not comfortable, it's okay
Peg: The last time we did it, I was drugged but I do
remember parts of it and how I enjoyed it. The very
first sex I enjoyed when I got here
Me: Me too
I got ontop of her and we continued kissing, she ran
her hands on my back all the way down to my butt. I
put my hands under her legs and raised her knees
high up almost to her breasts but not to put her in
discomfort.
Our kiss deepened to us entangling our tongues. Let
go of her hands and lowered one to play with her clit.
Massage it, and rub my fingers against her entrance.
I moved down a little to suck her nipples...
RICH
He helped me drink the water, by bringing the glass
to my lips..
Me: Thank you
King walked in..
King: And what is going on?
Strokes: He asked for a glass of water
Me: Thank you Strokes
Strokes walked out to put the glass in the sink..
King looked at me..
Me: I just wanted a glass of water, that's all
(Silence)
Me: How far along are they?
King: What is it to you?
Me: I just wanna know when I'll be getting out of
here
King: Who says you'll get out of here?
Me: Are you guys going to kill me? Turn me in?
King: We haven't decided yet
I nodded..
Me: I see
KIRS BOSCH
I arrived at home and called Viper..
Viper: Sir
Me: How are things going that side?
Viper: They going well
Me: I need you to do me a favor
Viper: Yes?
Me: Bring my wife back at home or send someone to
bring her back
Viper: Yes sir
Me: Thank you
I hung up...
THE MENDOZA
We have driven for approximately 4 hours..
We pulled over to get some fresh air.. I lit the
cigarette..
Ck: Is this wise? Me using your Partner's gun? It can
be traced
Me: I know.. Let's hope you don't get to use it
Ck: We should get back on the road
Me: We will
Ck: We don't have any more time to waste
Me: I want to find them just as much as you, we in
this together
Ck: I just don't want this blowing up in our faces, This
is our last hope
Me: I know.. Let's get back on the road.. You driving
Ck: Okay
We got back in the car..
RICH
King left, he got called in..
I looked at Strokes..
Me: I need to piss
Strokes: What?
Me: I need to take a piss
Strokes: I don't think that's
Me: Can I die with dignity? I've never pissed on
myself and I'm not going to start now. Can I take a
piss? You can untie my legs and leave my hands tied
Strokes: Fine
He came and untied my legs, then he helped me to
stand up..
Me: Thank you
My hands were still cuffed..
Me: Bring my hands from the back to the front so I
can be able to help myself
Strokes: Okay
He helped bring my hands over and to the front..
Me: Thank you
Strokes: Let's go
Me: Lead the way I don't know your house
He led the way, halfway through our walk. I raised
my hands up and put the cuffs over his head all the
way to his neck, I pulled him back and started
strangling him..
I strangled him until he sank down to the floor....
PEGGY KUNENE
I was at my most comfortable with Zitha, my body
automatically relaxed because we've done this
before and those memories took over.. She has sexy
lips, she's a good kisser and she knows how to
patiently explore my body. Touching all the right
places..
She sat up straight and I sat ontop of her..
This is very comfortable in a way, the penetration is
not like that of a dick. Not one that will make me
uncomfortable, scared and want to date back to
what those men did to me, did to us.. We were trying
to bond in our vulnerable state and it was beautiful...
RICH
He laid there not moving, I went back to the room
and got his phone. It required a fingerprint unlock. I
went to have his finger unlock it, after that it
required a password.
Me: Bloody hackers!!!!
I searched for my phone, I found it connected to the
PC..
I need to get out of here before King comes back and
alert Kirs about his daughter..
.
69
RICH
I walked, I kept on walking till I was far from his place
so that even if King drives around the block looking
for me he can't find me.
It was awkward walking around with cuffs and in the
state that I was in, I was praying that no one calls the
cops. Probably mistaken me for a druggie or a thug..
I was a bit weak, dehydrated, tired, and my body was
aching. Not to mention the pain I felt in my bladder
because I was forced to hold my urine for longer than
recommended. After taking a piss somewhere, I felt
a hot and stinging sensation in my bladder..
I came to a place where I sat down and called Kirs, at
least my battery percentage was 70%..
Me: Come on pick up
He picked up just when I was thinking of hanging up..
Kirs: Ck
Me: It's me
Kirs: Rich?
Me: I managed to escape
Kirs: I couldn't come transparent to them and talked
about saving you, they would've used that to their
advantage
Me: I know.. Listen they going after your Daughter
Kirs: That's a joke right?
Me: Ck figured it out, when you constantly talked
about vacating at a farm
Kirs: It's impossible
Me: Now it's hitting approximately 7 hours since
they've been gone
Kirs: Send your location, I'll send someone from that
side to pick you up
Me: Go get your Daughter!
I hung up..
I checked my location and then sent it to him..
THE MENDOZA
Ck: 1 hour left
Me: Check on Strokes
Ck: On it
I continued driving as he tried Strokes..
Ck: He's not picking up
Me: I knew we shouldn't have left him alone
Ck: Maybe he's busy, Rich was tied to the chair
Me: Call King to check up on him, here get his
number from my phone
Ck: Okay
KIRS BOSCH
I kept on trying my Grandmother she wasn't picking
up..
Me: Shit!!
The kitchen door opened, and Viper walked in with
Tshilo. I haven't changed the code so I didn't have to
open for them..
She looked at me..
I looked at Viper..
Me: We have to go
Viper: Where?
I took my car keys and looked at Tshilo..
Me: I know.. We'll talk about it when I get back
She nodded..
Tshilo: I'll shower then I'll sleep with Azelea in her
room
Me: She's at my Grandmother's
Tshilo: Why?
Me: I wanted her to be there
Tshilo: When is she coming back?
Me: I'm going to fetch her now
Tshilo: Okay
I looked at Viper then we walked out..
Me: Call the chopper and send it to the Bosch private
farm residence, call a squad car to go there too
Viper: Yes Sir
I kept on trying my Grandmother..
DETECTIVE KING
Me: Why you never reported the abuse that your
husband put you through?
She looked at me..
Wife: The law has failed me a lot of times, he had
money to make the cases disappear
Me: Do you still remember the officer you reported
too? His name?
Wife: Let me try to remember
My phone vibrated, it was Ck..
Me: Excuse me
I walked out of the room..
Me: Yeah?
Ck: We 1 hour away from our destination
Me: Okay no hit yet?
Ck: No.. Listen.. We have been trying Strokes he's not
picking up
Me: I was there earlier on
Ck: Can you check up on him?
Me: I am working.. I'll do so later
Ck: Mendoza has a bad feeling about it
Me: Fine I'll go
Ck: Cool
I hung up and sighed..
I walked back to the crime scene..
Me: I have to go, family emergency. Call me when
forensics get here
Officer: Okay
Me: I'll be right back
Officer: Yes Sir
I walked out...
ZITHA MAGASELA
I was throwing punches at the Punching bag as
thoughts flooded my mind..
It was quiet around the flat, Peg was sleeping..
I can't sleep, I can't get a good night sleep.
I took off the gloves and started punching it with my
hands, kept on seeing their faces. I imagined the
punching bag as their faces.
I was clenching my Jaws made groaning sounds, I was
breathing out fire.. What was left, was for the smoke
to come out from my ears..
I kept on punching and punching until I heard Peg
calling out behind me.. I stopped and turned back,
she was standing by the door looking a bit terrified..
Peg: You not punching the punching bag, you
punching the wall
I turned and looked, my hands were bloody.
Peg: Ohh Zitha
Me: I.. I don't know what happened
I was shaking..
Me: Felt like I blacked out, I don't remember
punching the wall
She walked up to me but stopped halfway.
Peg: You are allowed to breakdown and cry, you
can't keep all those emotions in you'll go crazy.. It's
alright to cry
I moved backwards until I was against the wall, that's
when I felt the pain arising from my hands..
Me: What's happening to me?
THE MENDOZA
Me: How far along now?
Ck: 45min away
He was looking at Zitha's picture..
Me: You were pretty close with her?
Ck: Only when we were young, when my Mother
suggested that she comes live with us her Father
stopped her from coming over
Me: So since from thereon you guys never saw each
other again?
Ck: No
Me: For someone you last saw years ago, you
determined to find her
Ck: My Mother.. Her sister haunts her, she can't
sleep, she sees her in her dreams.. Ever since Zitha
went missing, my Mother hasn't gotten a good night
sleep. She doesn't get out of bed, she drinks herself
to sleep. If I can't find her and bring her home, my
Mother is going to follow her twin sister. She's losing
her mind
Me: I understand.. We will bring her back home
Ck: I hope so
KIRS BOSCH
Viper was the one driving, we are still 4 hours away..
I hope the chopper will get there fast.
Me: Can't you drive faster?
Viper: I'm trying Sir
Me: My worst fear is coming true, my Daughter
being kidnapped. Getting trapped in the crossfire of
my doings..
(Silence)
Me: Turn around
Viper: Sir?
Me: We going to the flats
Viper: I thought..
Me: The chopper and the squad car are already going
there, turn around
Viper: Okay
Me: How many guards are on shift?
Viper: 20
Me: Good! They will rape them, switch, torture them
and rape them the whole night until they die!
ZITHA MAGASELA
Peg was gently wiping the blood from my hands..
Me: When I.. I'm not myself Peg. When I start
punching the punching bag, I don't feel myself
anymore. It's like I'm a different Person, something
else takes over I black out
Peg: It's going to be okay
Me: I am scared.. That I'm turning into something
that I'm not, something that is not sincere.
Something that is evil and heartless
Peg: You scarying me
Me: I'm scarying myself
CK (ZITHA'S COUSIN)
We were now very close, maybe 10mins away..
King called..
Me: Hey
King: He's dead
Me: What?
King: Rich escaped
I closed my eyes..
Me: Is his phone there?
King: Where was it?
Me: By the computer
King: Let me check
(after a few seconds)
King: It's not there
I dropped the phone, it fell on my thighs. I hit the
dashboard repeatedly..
Me: Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!!!
Mendoza: What?
.
70
THE MENDOZA
We arrived at the farm, it was dark and very quiet. I
don't understand, so Kirs has no protection for this
place but then he wouldn't have assigned
protection. Why assign protection if your enemies
don't know about this place? If you haven't made it
known to them?
We got out of the car..
Me: Ck
Ck: Yes
Me: We here, we doing this.. We only have one
chance at it.. Let's do it right
Ck: Let's do it right and get out of here, Rich has
escaped that means he has alerted Kirs already
meaning they know about this now and they might
be on the way
Me: Very true
We made our way to the door and knocked, we kept
on knocking until an old woman opened.. She only
opened the door but not the security butler..
Her: Good evening
Me: Good evening Mam, I am the Mendoza and this
is Ck
I took out my credentials and showed her..
Me: I'm an FBI Agent
Her: What is the FBI doing here?
Me: May we come in?
Her: Why?
Me: We believe you might be in danger
Ck: We were called by your Grandson Kirs Bosch, I
work for him
Her: Ohw
Ck: We will leave in the morning for now we have to
keep you and Azelea safe
Me: You can call him and tell him about us
Her: Okay
She opened for us and then we made our way in..
Me: Thank you
Her: Let me get my phone and call him
I took out my gun and pointed it at her
Me: Sit down Mam'
Her: Ohh my God what's going on?
Me: Please sit down
I looked at Ck..
Me: Go find her
He nodded and went to get Azelea..
Her: What are you doing? Who are you?
She sat on the chair..
Me: Your Grandson is involved in a lot of evil things,
he kidnaps women and sell them, turn them into sex
slaves.. He has my Sister
Her: What? Kirs would never do that!
Me: Wake up! Your Grandson is not a Saint, has it
never occurred to you why he put you in a farm?
Why he brought his Daughter here? Kirs is the devil!
He thrives on the blood and pain of innocent little
girls and boys
She shook her head repeatedly..
Her: No.. No.. No..
Ck came back holding the baby girl in his arms..
Her: It can't be.. It can't be..
Ck: I got her
Me: Let's go
He looked at the old woman, she was struggling to
breath. She was hyperventilating..
Ck: She's going to have a heart attack
Me: There's nothing we can do for her, let's go
Ck: We can't just leave her like this
Me: Let's go!!!!!
She fell off the chair..
I put my gun away and we walked out..
ZITHA MAGASELA
3 Guards entered in our flat, they violently woke us
up..
I don't know what was happening but they definitely
went here in peace..
One held me back as the other two were trying to
sexually violate Peggy. One was holding her down,
pinned her hands on the mattress so she couldn't
escape..
Peg: No!! Please don't do this (crying)
I looked at the other one, who was getting in
between her legs. He stripped her naked, he got his
pants down..
Peg: Please don't do this to me, not again (crying)
I looked at what was about to happen, and
something deep inside of me snapped..
Me: Leave her alone!
The one who was about to rape her turned his head
and looked at me, the one who was holding me tight
let me go..
Me: Leave her alone!!
The one who was holding me slapped me across the
face and threw me down..
I looked at Peg crying and trying to get away from
their grip..
The one who was holding me came to me and started
punching me across the face, all I could hear was
Peggy's cry and begging..
He punched me at least 3 times, then he let go. I spat
out blood..
Peggy's cry got louder, I blinked a few times then got
up..
Me: I said leave her alone!!!
They all looked at me..
Guard: Take care of this
The one who was holding me walked up to me, I
punched him on the neck. He staggered back. I
kicked him on his crotch, he bent down. I elbowed
him on his back he went down on his knees. I stood
behind him and held his head, then I twisted it
snapping his neck. Then I searched him through and
found his gun, I cocked it and pointed it at the other
ones..
Me: I said leave her alone!!
They both looked at me..
Guard 2: give me the gun, before you hurt yourself
I looked at him..
Guard 2: You don't wanna do this, you know how it's
going to end up.. Just give me the gun
He walked up to me..
Guard 2: Give me the gun
I shot him at least twice.. He went down.
The one who was in between Peggy's legs. Got up
and fixed himself..
Him: Moer!!!
He got up in his feet..
Me: I told you to leave her alone!!
I shot him once on the chest, he fell back on the
mattress.. But not ontop of Peggy..
I walked up to him and sat on his tummy. I bashed
his face with the back of the gun repeatedly..
Me: I told you to leave her alone!!!!!!!
I kept on hitting him and hitting him until I heard
Peggy screaming ontop of her lungs...
Peg: He's dead!! It's over his dead!!
I looked at his bloody face, my senses came back. I
got off of him and staggered around. That's were I
felt the pain on my face.. My vision was a bit blurry
and I felt a sharp pain on my forehead. Peg got up
and ran to me, she hugged me crying..
Me: It's okay.. I'm not going to let anyone hurt you
again
We sank down on the floor, I held her tight..
Me: We okay
She placed her hands which were trembling on my
face..
Peg: Look at me, are you okay?
Me: I'm fine.. Are you okay?
Peg: I'm okay
I hugged her again....
CK (ZITHA'S COUSIN)
Me: Let's make the call
Mendoza: Won't he trace it?
Me: I was the only tech guru he had, replacing me
will be hard. We will change routes and not go down
the route he will know off
Mendoza: Okay
I sighed and made the call..
Kirs: Kirs
Me: It's me
He kept quiet at first..
Me: We have your Daughter
Kirs: You do?
Me: Hold on
I put him on loud speaker..
Me: Say Hello to Daddy
Azelea: Daddy
(Silence)
Azelea: I'm scared
Kirs: It's okay my Angel, it's okay.. Where is
Grandma?
Azelea: In the house, who are these Men? They have
a gun Daddy and they had pointed it at Grandma
Kirs: Those are Daddy's friends, go with them okay?
Daddy will fetch you
Azelea: Okay
Kirs: I love you so much
Azelea: I love you too
I put him off loud speaker..
Me: Kirs
Kirs: Don't hurt my Daughter
Me: We want the girls alive and well
Kirs: Fine! I'll give you the girls
Me: I wanna talk to them
Kirs: What?
Me: We let you talk to your Daughter, I wanna talk
to them too
Kirs: You will
Me: I'll call you in the morning
I hung up and switched my phone..
We heard a chopper, it passed right above our car
high above our car. I know it's Kirs People, he can't
track us, he doesn't know Mendoza's car.. I smiled..
ZITHA MAGASELA
Peg searched them..
Peg: They don't have guns
Me: Only this one had a gun
Peg: Wait one has a phone
Me: That's good.. Take it
She took it..
I heard voices outside..
Me: Peg go to the bathroom
Peg: I can't leave you here
One sounded like Kirs..
Me: Go to the bathroom it's okay
She looked at me..
Me: Now!!!
She went to the bathroom..
Me: Don't come out until I call you out
Peg: Okay
She went in and closed the door..
I got up and went closer to the door, I pointed the
gun at the door..
The door opened, I fired shots.. I kept on firing them
and all I heard were screams.

THE MENDOZA
We stopped halfway, Ck wanted to get us food. I was
tired already, sleepy, and I was on my second energy
drink. I desperately wanted to rest, though Ck and I
we were switching but I needed the rest. My physical
and mental being were tired, but the thought of
getting my sister back was the only thing on my
mind. The sole thing on my mind, and it was what
kept me going..
I turned and looked at Azelea at the backseats, she
was fast asleep. This is messed up, when did I get to
this point were a child had to be involved. I had no
intentions of hurting her, I would never hurt nor
harm a child I just want her Father to release my
sister and she'll be back in her Parents arms.
The business cannot be more important than his own
flesh and blood..
Ck got back in, we were parked at some caltex
garage..
Ck: I got pies
Me: It's good
Ck: Can't believe we pulled it off
Me: Me too, hope he takes the bait
Ck: Me too
He passed me the pie..
We had taken a different route from our usual one,
there was no sign of a car following us..
ZITHA MAGASELA
I pulled the trigger a few times again but I was out of
bullets, I dropped down to my knees and dropped
the gun on the floor..
Kirs walked in, he was stunned at the mess I created.
So I must've shot a guard that tried to get in before
him..
He stood there and looked at me, then looked at his
guards on the floor..
Peg: Zitha??
I looked at him, the way I looked at him I wished that
it was him that I shot..
Peg got out of the bathroom, it seems like she's
currently the only Person who can manage to tame
whatever it is that takes over..
Kirs: What did you do?
Peg helped me up and I held her tight..
Me: This could've been your fate, he took a lot of
bullets for you!
Kirs: How? All the girls here have never done what
you did? How were you able to get 3 guards down?
Me: This could've been your fate!!!
He looked at us one last time, he unbuttoned his
shirt 3 buttons down..
He shook his head and then walked to the door, he
pushed in the guard at the door and we realized it
was Viper. Kirs walked out and locked..
RICH
Kirs kept to the end of his deal, he sent one of us to
get me.. He sent Sondezi..
I tried to keep my cool with him for now, I still
remember what Sihle told me about him..
When I got to his place, I showered first, ate and got
comfortable. Then I called Beauty to give Sihle the
phone.. When she heard my voice, she broke down..
Me: I'm fine, I'll be home by tomorrow
Sihle: What happened?
Me: Long story
Sihle: I'm relieved you okay, I couldn't even sleep
Me: Really? I thought you hated me
Sihle: I still do, I was just thinking about how boring
it would be to not have someone to watch TV with
or read my novels too
I chuckled..
Me: So that's what it is?
Sihle: Yes
Me: Well you'll be glad to know I'm coming home
tomorrow
Sihle: That's good.. I was halfway through my current
novel
Me: What are you reading?
Sihle: "The Havard wife" by a local writer known as
"Busisekile-Khumalo"
Me: The Havard wife? What's it about?
Sihle: You will never know until you get here
Me: What's the name of the Author again?
Sihle: Busisekile-Khumalo
Me: She's local?
Sihle: Yes.. Beauty got me the book, I am used to
reading American novels never knew that African
authors were this good too
I laid back on the bed..
Me: Read it to me
Sihle: Now?
Me: Yes
Sihle: Well Beauty is going to want her phone back
Me: She can leave it with you for the night, I trust you
Sihle: I'll let her know
Me: Okay.. Start afresh
Sihle: Okay.. Chapter one
"Fireworks sounded all through Johannesburg,
mocking and taunting her pain.. She could hear the
sound of celebration even from high up in their
master bedroom. All it served to do was to make her
even more miserable.."
I just wanted to sleep at the sound of her voice, the
only thing I could think about when I was held up. It
was her, the bond we now share and if I was going to
see here again..
ZITHA MAGASELA
It was going to be traumatic sleeping with the dead
bodies in our room. A normal Person would be
scared, go crazy but I wasn't.. I got a thrill from it,
seeing them lifeless like that, having no power
knowing very well that I took that power from them
it made me a bit happy. It relieved me..
Peggy wasn't comfortable with the scene, her
mental state is regenerating. She's on
antidepressants so she's bound to think better than
me..
I dragged the bodies to the bathroom..
Peg: How are we going to sleep with dead bodies in
our room?
Me: We will sleep
Peg: I'm scared, scared that Kirs is going to retaliate
Me: The phone
Peg: Huh?
Me: You still have it right?
Peg: Yes
Me: Check if it wants a password and if it doesn't try
and call your Brother
Peg: Okay let me do that
She walked out of the bathroom, I looked at them.. I
walked over and got my toothbrush. I went to one of
them, took his t-shirt off..
I could clearly see the bullet wound on his chest. His
eyes were half opened..
I thought about the rape I went through, from the
solitary confinement, to Kirs, to the last guards. I
shoved the back of my toothbrush in his bullet
wounds. I kept on stabbing and making the wounds
bleed more and open up more..
THE MENDOZA
I tried to sleep but I couldn't, Ck was driving.
I opened my eyes, thought about Kirs and if our last
phone call pissed him off..
What if he lost it and killed the girls..
I looked at Ck..
Me: How much does he love his kid?
Ck: What?
Me: How much does he love his kid?
Ck: It's his Kid.. I heard his voice over the phone,
there was a bit of fear.. He will come through
Me: Let's hope so
Ck: We have an upper hand
I turned and looked at Azelea..
Me: That we do
PEGGY KUNENE
The phone indeed needed a password. I made my
way to the bathroom, I stood at the door and looked
at Zitha. What I saw was horrific, She had stripped
the guard naked and was trying to pull his dick from
him. When she couldn't she kept on stabbing it hard
with the back of the toothbrush. She was groaning
like an animal, a vicious animal that was out for
blood, out for a kill.
I swallowed and carefully walked back to the
mattress. I was scared, scared of her. Zitha has
turned into a Person that I no longer recognize, when
she killed the guards. It didn't look like her anymore,
I saw it in her eyes. It wasn't her anymore, it was like
she turned into this animal. A demon of some sort, I
don't know what has awakened in her but it's
dangerous and it scares me...
I looked at the phone I was holding, my hands were
trembling. I put my hand on my chest, my heart race
was picking up..
I got up and searched through my antidepressants, I
was left with one packet. One packet consists of 10
pills. I drank two.
I closed my eyes and tried to breath in and out..
SIHLE
He was so quiet on the other end..
Me: Rich?
It was quiet.. He probably had fallen asleep.
I closed the book and hung up..
I looked at Beauty's phone, I could call for help. Put
and end to this, but my love for him stopped me. I
thought about how worried I was when I got the
news about him, the times we shared. The screen
dimmed, I turned it on and it required a pin..
I put it away and slept, at least now I'll sleep knowing
he's safe and coming back home..
.

RICH
The next morning, Sondezi drove me to the airport..
I had all in me to do away with him for what he did
to Sihle, but I remembered. We are in the same
business, and if I was in his shoes I'd probably do the
same thing.
I'm just glad Sihle is okay and doing good..
Me: Thank you
So: I don't get it Rich
Me: What don't you get?
So: How does Kirs hire someone that was a threat to
us? Are we safe?
Me: Just keep on doing what you doing
So: I am to run the two Orphanages that MG was
running
Me: You'll do a good job, no doubt about that
So: Thank you Brother
Me: I'll contact you when I land
So: Have a safe trip
Me: Thank you
We exchanged a handshake..
PEGGY KUNENE
The Antidepressants were the ones that helped me
to sleep peacefully without getting any nightmares
about what laid in our bathroom.. I've seen horrible
things in my life, but this.. This is something I've
never seen before, something I never experienced.
The dead bodies were carried out of our flat the next
morning, we were left to clean up the blood..
I pictured what Zitha was doing last night to the
guards, how she terrorized them even in death..
She's definitely not the same Zitha that I know and
used too, she has changed so much. Something in
her lives, something sinister and dark..
Kirs walked in, I looked at him. He's probably going
to punish us for what happened tomorrow..
Kirs: Where is Zitha?
Me: Zitha
Zitha showed up from the bathroom..
Kirs: Someone wants to talk to you guys
We looked at each, he took out his phone..
He made a call..
Kirs: Yes.. I'll put you on loudspeaker
He extended his phone to us..
Kirs: Speak
Mendoza: Peg
That was my Brother's voice.. My heart jumped. I
held Zitha's arm..
Mendoza: Are you there?
Me: I'm here.. I'm here
Mendoza: Are you okay?
I fought back tears...
Me: I'm okay (voice breaking)
Mendoza: I'm so sorry about everything
Me: I just wanna come back home
Mendoza: You will.. I promise you will
Me: Ohh my God
Mendoza: Is Zitha there?
Zitha: Yes
Mendoza: Someone wants to talk to you, someone
who helped a great deal. Someone who made this
call possible
Zitha: Who?
It was quiet for a while..
Voice: Badzala
Zitha's eyes widened..
Zitha: Ncendi?
Ncendi: It's me Cuz, I'm bringing you home
Zitha put her hand over her mouth..
Kirs: Sweet
He hung up..
Kirs: Congratulations, you going home soon
With that being said, he walked out and locked.
Leaving us dumbfounded..
THE MENDOZA
I walked away to stand at a far distance as I wiped
my tears.. I was shaking and having a panic attack.
Hearing her voice and knowing that she's safe, it did
a number on me..
I bent down putting my hands on my knees, we did
it. All that's left is to make sure the handout goes
well..
Ck: Mendoza
I wiped my tears and walked up to him..
Ck: The exchange is in 3 days time
Me: Okay
Ck: They will fly down here or drive down here
Me: We doing this, this is happening
Ck: It is, we have to make it work. Hear his demands
Me: His demands?
Ck: We know what they doing now so we have to
assure him that we won't interfere so long he also
doesn't come after the girls again
Me: What about the other girls?
Ck: It's bad I know but if we keep poking Zitha and
Peg will be his victims again, this time around he
might sell them far or even kill them. We need to
turn a blind eye
I nodded..
Ck: Good let's get back on the road, we almost home
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
Kirs told me last night that Azelea has been
kidnapped, I slept in her room but sleep eluded me.
My Daughter has been kidnapped, he wanted to
avenge this situation not let the girls go this easily
and find a way to bring our Daughter home, but
unfortunately my Daughter's life is in the hands of
these two women. Kirs has to let them go, he can get
more girls. These ones are not worth it..
He called me..
Me: Hello
Kirs: I made the deal with them in 3 days time the
exchange will be done
I closed my eyes and sighed..
Kirs: I'm sorry
Me: It's okay, at least we'll get Azelea back that's the
most important thing
Kirs: I'm sorry for everything, I shouldn't have put her
first before you
Me: It's okay just let these girls go and let us get back
to our lives
Kirs: I'll do so
Me: Thank you
Kirs: I love you
Me: I love you too
THE MENDOZA
We had called King to meet up with us at my gate,
the gate of my house. Indeed, he was sitting there
and waiting for us..
King: Gentlemen
Me: King
King: I see the trip was worth it
Ck was holding Azelea..
Me: We have called up Kirs, the exchange is in 3 days
King: Are we sure he's going to exchange the girls
without any repercussions?
Me: That's why we need you
King: I'm here
Ck: We need reinforcement, we can't go alone
King: I'm on it
Me: We going to let him go and let him be
King: What? We will have him at arm's length
Ck: This is bigger than getting Kirs, we are not going
to get him.. We are going to let him go
King: I am a detective
Ck: If you get him and he gets out, he's going to come
back gun blazing and the ones we love will be at risk
your wife too
Me: Exactly
King: Fine! We'll see
ZITHA MAGASELA
My cousin and I we haven't seen each other nor been
in contact for a long time. Hearing his voice and that
he's a part of us getting out of here, I'm not
surprised. Ck is smart, he's always been smart I just
didn't know that he would come through for me, I
never expected it..
All this seems way too good to be true, what do they
have against Kirs that he has agreed to let us go?
Peg: We getting out of here
I faked a smile..
Peg: Finally we getting out of here
Me: We are
She walked up to me and wrapped her arms around
my waist..
Peg: We can start our lives together, work on our
relationship in a more healthy environment
Me: That's true
Peg: I don't wanna lose you, when we get out of here
I wanna be with you
Me: I wanna be with you
Peg: I wanna be with you too
I kissed her..
Me: I love you
Peg: I love you too
THE MENDOZA
Ma: Witness protection?
Me: Yes.. The child is, she's going to help us to get
back the girls
My Mother looked at her..
Ma: Hello sweetheart
Azelea: Hello
Ma: Would you like pancakes?
She slowly nodded..
Ma: Let's go and make them
They walked to the kitchen..
King: I ruled out Strokes death as burglary gone
wrong, it's still an open case and open for
investigation. Rich is nowhere to be found
Ck: He's probably gone back to Cpt by now
King: I figured that out
Me: So King you will let us know
King: I will.. Let me go
Me: Okay keep in touch
Me: Cool
73
ZITHA MAGASELA
I couldn't stop thinking about our "possible" release.
It sounds real, but seems way too good to be true.
Will Kirs let us go? We know too much about him?
How did they manage to cut a deal with him? What
do they have on him? Definitely not the fact that
they'll send him to jail, that won't work. From the
look of things Kirs is well connected..
I was brought back from the world of thinking when
I heard Peg vomiting in the bathroom..I walked to
the bathroom..
Me: You okay?
She was kneeling at the toilet..
Peg: Don't come closer
I walked up to her and knelt next to her with my
knees..
Peg: I said don't come any closer, you don't have to
see this
Me: See you vomit?
Peg: It's disgusting
Me: I think we've been through a lot for me to be
repulsed by you vomiting
She spat and wiped her lips..
Me: You good?
She started crying..
Peg: I'm not okay, I'm vomiting of course I'm not
okay!
Me: Is it the pills?
Peg: I don't know Zitha!! I'm not a Dr
Me: Okay let's get you up
Peg: Just leave me alone (crying)
Me: What did I do?
Peg: Just leave me alone okay?
I got up and go her up..
Me: Peg come on
Peg: I don't know what's wrong
Me: It's okay, if you don't know I'm not expecting you
to know
She sat on the toilet, I seriously didn't know what to
say. She was crying, serious cry..
Peg: I'm even craving things I can't get (Crying)
I knelt down again in front of her..
Me: Can I hold your hands?
Peg: You killed 3 Guards and you asking me if you
could hold my hands?
Me: You scarying me right now, I don't wanna hold
your hand and get a slap across my face
She chuckled..
Peg: You scared of me?
Me: I am not scared of you, I'm terrified of you!
She chuckled again..
I held her hands..
Me: I don't know what's happening but we'll get
through it, remember we get through shit?
She nodded..
Me: I don't know if it's the baby doing this to because
I know women go through this when they pregnant,
you conceived in a the most painful way and if you
don't wanna keep the baby I understand. It would
also be unfair for me to ask you too, but I want to
know something. If you keep the baby, I'll support
you every step of the way. I might not vomit with you
but I'll be next to you when you doing all that, when
we do get out of here in 3 days time I'll be there for
every appointment, every craving, every kick, every
unsettling moment that comes with it. Nappy
changing, late nights, the unexpected vomit, first
walk, first bicycle, first day at school, first sports day..
I'll never miss any part of it
Tears formed in her eyes..
Me: The baby is the beautiful outcome of what
happened to us here, always remind us how we
conquered this place
Peg: I don't know nothing about Babies
Me: I don't know anything about babies, but we will
figure it out together okay?
Peg: Okay
Me: Do you trust me?
Peg: I trust you
Me: Thank you for not slapping me
Peg: You can punch walls, take blows, shoot 3 Guards
and you scared of my slap?
Me: Because yours will come with a lot of pain,
there's love involved
Peg: you are insane
Me: I'm telling you
I moved closer to kiss her but she pushed me back..
Peg: I'm going to vomit again
She got up and vomited...
THE MENDOZA
I stood at the doorway looking at my Mother and
Azelea.. Making pancakes..
Azelea: This one didn't come out good
Ma: I think it's okay
Azelea: It won't taste nice
My Mother laughed..
Ma: Well then try another one let's see
Azelea: Okay
My Mother looked at me..
Me: Seems like you guys are getting along well
Ma: She's a sweet girl
Me: She is
Ma: Why don't you continue then I'll come check,
don't burn yourself
Azelea: Okay
She walked up to me and pulled me to the side..
Ma: When are you returning this little back to her
Parents?
Me: She's on witness protection I told you
She looked at me..
Ma: I might not be in the FBI but I'm not stupid
Me: She's the only way we could get Peggy back
Ma: Rescuing your Sister has to do with you
kidnapping a little girl?
Me: I didn't kidnap her
Ma: Let's call her Parents and find out
Me: Ma.. Wait a minute.. Fine I kidnapped her but
she will go back to her parents when we get the girls
back
Ma: Promise?
Me: I promise
Azelea: Look this one is better
My Mother walked up to her..
Ma: Woow this one is perfect at least now we can
eat, we've been through it for a while now
Kirs child is well reserved and calm. Very respectful,
I would expect her to throw tantrums and asking for
her Parents..
SIHLE
The door to the bedroom opened, and Rich walked
in. I closed the Novel and looked at him...
Rich: Hi
Me: Hi
I got up and out of the bed and walked up to him..
Rich: How are you?
Me: I'm good.. How are you?
Rich: I'm okay
He dropped his bag to the floor, I walked up closer to
him and hugged him... He squeezed me tight..
Rich: It's okay.. I'm okay
Me: Don't ever put me through that again, ever again
Rich: I promise
Me: I love you
Rich: I love you too
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
Kirs walked in.. Looking at him, he looked drained
and his eyes were red and puffy. Like he didn't get
sleep..
I looked at him..
Kirs: I've never messed up, nor have I put my family
in danger. I run a tight ship, I've always had things
under control. Never have I had this much heat
before when it comes to the girls
Me: Zitha and Peggy cannot be more important than
Azelea, I know at some point they were more
important than me but they can't be more important
than Azelea
Kirs: I need you to forgive me, I shouldn't have
treated you that way
Me: It's not the first time
Kirs: But it's the first time I've put you above any
other woman, a wrong choice I admit
Me: It's okay, we always get through everything
He made his way to me..
Kirs: I love you so much, when she comes back she's
going to need both her Parents
Me: I know.. Just promise me one thing
Kirs: Anything
Me: Just let them go, let it be over and done with..
With those girls
Kirs: I promise
I hugged him...
Kirs: I promise
PEGGY KUNENE
I couldn't even make out what the sickness was, I
couldn't describe it but it was horrible.
At least the vomiting is done now, at least for now..
Zitha brought me water..
Me: Thank you
Zitha: How are you feeling now?
I looked at her..
Zitha: Okay sorry
Me: What's going to happen when we leave here?
Where are you going to go?
Zitha: Probably my Aunt's place
Me: I want you to come live with me and my family
Zitha: Peg
Me: It can be a temporary situation for now
Zitha: Okay we'll see
I don't know if I'll manage to separate from her,
we've been through the worst together and all we
had was each other. I want it to remain that way
even when we out of here, she's my safe place...
RICH
She was helping with unbuttoning my shirt.
Me: I need to talk to you about something
She looked at me..
Me: That Lady, your Boss you'll be relieved to hear
that she's getting released. She's going back to her
family soon
Sihle: Thank God, that's good news
I was testing her..
Me: You happy for her?
Sihle: Yes I am, I'm just happy to know that she'll be
going back home and she'll be safe
Me: What about you? Do you wanna go home?
Sihle: I wanna go back home, but I wanna go back a
married woman to also introduce my husband
I held both her hands..
Me: How did it happen? How did your hate for me
turn into love?
Sihle: I don't know
Me: I don't know either
Sihle: I just.. All of this is wrong but the love feels
right
Me: Somehow it does
Sihle: You can go and shower, I'll prepare dinner
Me: Okay.. Maybe tomorrow we can go out
Sihle: Are you sure?
I kissed her hand..
Me: I'm sure
Sihle: I'd like that very much

[4 DAYS LATER]
The exchange was supposed to be yesterday but
because there wasn't a quicker and easy way to get
to Gauteng, other than the long drive. We were
perhaps 30min away now from our destination, Kirs
was sitting on the Passenger's seat one of his Guards
was driving. He had called trusted people from this
side to stand guard, incase The Mendoza and Ck try
to pull one on him..
It all seemed unreal, so unreal I had a bad case of an
anxiety attack. When we entered Gauteng and I
realized that we home, my anxiety picked up again. I
held Peggy's hand, she looked me and laid her head
on my shoulder.. This is happening, this is it. We are
home..
THE MENDOZA
With our not so full trust that we have on Kirs, we
the ones who picked out the place of where we
should meet up. The place was chosen by Ck, very
shady but isolated and private. Away from the busy
areas..
We brought along Azelea but she wasn't present
with us at the warehouse, she was hiding close by
and she will be returned to her Father when he has
given us the girls and we get out of here..
Ck: Let me talk to you
I looked at King's guys and King..
Me: Yeah sure.. What's up?
Ck: The body of Yvonne, you have to go and dig it up
from there
I looked around..
Me: Does Kirs knows?
Ck: Yes but doesn't know the location
Me: Why did you tell him?
Ck: I was working for him
I shook my head..
Ck: Look there's nothing tying you up to the murder,
we just need to get the body that's all
Me: We will get it
We heard a car pulling up, we all looked at each
other..
We went to check and it was 2 black cars, SUVs. The
Guards got out and opened the car door of another
car, it was Menzi..
Ck: What's he doing here?
Me: Fuck!
His goons in suits walked him in...
Me: What are you doing here?
Menzi: Good evening Gentlemen
He looked at King..
Menzi: King.. I didn't see that coming
King: I could say the same to you Minister
Me: What are you doing here?
Menzi: I am here to make sure that my Partner won't
get screwed
King: You are the Minister of Police
Menzi: And you are a Detective in Homicide
King: I'm not doing anything wrong here
Menzi: You kidnapped a 5 year old girl
Ck: Did we now?
Menzi: I can have you all thrown in jail for that
Me: We are here to make an exchange, we doing
nothing wrong
Menzi: Then I'm here to make sure that the exchange
goes well
His phone rang..
Menzi: This is Kirs, he's probably here.. Excuse me
Gentlemen
SIHLE
Rich and I got married yesterday, there's nothing to
tell because the whole thing wasn't a true wedding
Ceremony. It was home affairs initiated. No cake, no
deco, no guests, no nothing. Other than the
witnesses that were present with us..
I looked at my ring I was officially Mrs Rich Ojo. I was
a married woman, it was official.
Rich: We need to talk
Me: Okay
He placed his hands on my thighs..
Rich: We married now
I looked at his gold wedding band.
Rich: Marriage requires full trust
Me: That's true
Rich: Your freedom will be returned back to you, but
you will go to the mall under supervision until this
whole thing of you missing has died down
Me: Tomorrow morning I can go to the police station
with Beauty to make a statement
He nodded..
Rich: I was coming to that but you read my mind
Me: What about my family?
Rich: If I can trust you with this freedom then that
will come
I put my hand on his cheek..
Me: I love you and I'm not going anywhere
He nodded..
Rich: I love you too
ZITHA MAGASELA
We got to the excluded area, already cars were
parked there..
We got out of the car and made our way in, both
parties were standing and facing each other.. All eyes
moved to us, I saw CK and The Mendoza. It was a
moment between all of us. We stood with Kirs and
his People, I swear that The minister of Police was
here Menzi. It was him, it's him!!..
Kirs: Where is my Daughter?
Nothing was said..
Kirs: Where the fuck is my Daughter?
Mendoza: She is safe
Kirs: What do you mean by that? She's supposed to
be here
Mendoza: Your Daughter will be returned to you
when the girls have made it out of here and to a safe
place. Ck is going to take them to a safe place, I'll
remain here with King then when Ck calls and tells
me that the girls are safe you will get your Daughter
Kirs: That was never the plan! You get my Daughter
here or you not getting the girls
Ck: For someone who has agreed to give us the girls,
you are acting brand new now like you wanna fuck
us up
Kirs: How do I know that you guys won't fuck me up?
Mendoza: You just have to trust us
Kirs: Trust you?
Me: Peg can go with Ck, I'll remain here with the rest.
When your Daughter has been returned to you, we
will leave. If they fuck you up you will take me again
Ck: What?
Kirs looked at me..
Peg: Zee
Me: It's okay.. It's going to be okay
Kirs: Okay.. Peggy you can go to the other side
Peg held on tightly to my arm..
Me: It's okay you can go
Peg: I'm not leaving without you
Me: I'll be fine
Peg: We talking about Kirs here
Me: Mendoza will be here, I'll be fine okay?
Peg: Okay
She let go of my arm and walked up to them. I was
praying she gets to them without a bullet on her
back..
She walked and walked until she got to her Brother,
they hugged. I closed my eyes and sighed..
Kirs: Okay the family reunion will come later, my
Daughter please!
Ck: Before that we have to come to an agreement,
you shall never go for the girls ever again. If you
don't, we won't come after you, we won't try to
destroy you nor take you down. We won't interfere
in your business
Kirs: So this is a truce?
Ck: A good one right?
Kirs: And what do I do when you go back to your
word?
Ck: You hunt us down, kill us and do what you must
with the girls
Kirs: I like that
Ck: Truce? No hit on Zitha and Peggy?
Kirs: Truce
Mendoza: Peg get out of here, Ck get out of here
Ck held Peggy's hand and they walked to the door
followed by 4 police men that were on their team...
Peg kept her eyes on me..
They walked out..
Mendoza: Now we wait
It was quiet..
Mendoza: It's cute to see that you love your
Daughter this much, to do this I wonder how your
partners would feel about it?
Kirs: I don't need the girls anymore, they already
damaged. They'll never be the same anymore
Mendoza: Zitha come this Side
Kirs: ah.ah.ah.. Not until I get my Daughter
Kirs held my arm..
Kirs: We shall wait
I looked at Kirs..
Me: This is not over, I'm going to come after you..
That is a promise
Kirs: Killing 3 of my Guards doesn't make you the Ish
Princess, take this deal and go celebrate.. Most girls
at the flats would die to be in your position right now
Me: I'm going to enjoy killing you
Kirs: You never had enough of me right? You still
wanna come back for more?
Mendoza: You shall not hold any conversation with
our girl
Kirs: My bad, I was getting bored
Menzi: How long will this take?
Mendoza: 15min
Kirs looked at me..
Kirs: Enough time for us to have a goodbye sex
Me: Clearly I didn't press hard enough on your balls
Kirs: That just turned me on!
We stood there looking at each other..
PEGGY KUNENE
I kept on turning back, one car was following us that
we left with..
Ck: You are fine, you are okay.. You are safe
Me: Zitha
Ck: She's going to be fine, I trust your Brother
I placed my hand on my tummy..
Me: Can't you make the call already?
Ck: We not there yet
(Silence)
Ck: My name is Ck
Me: Peggy
Ck: Zitha is my cousin
Me: Okay nice to meet you and thank you
Ck: You don't have to thank me

We arrived at my house and my Mother couldn't
keep her hands off me. She hugged and squeezed me
tight crying, I couldn't hold back my tears too. She
was even shaking..
I thought I was never going to see her ever again, I
thought I was going to die in there.
Ma: Let me look at you
She looked at me..
Ma: Ohh Peggy
Me: I'm okay
Ck: Excuse me
Me: I thought I was never going to see you ever again
Ma: God is good.. I knew my prayers would be
answered
ZITHA MAGASELA
Mendoza: Okay
He hung up and looked at his Partner, then he
nodded.. Mendoza's Partner, King went out as we
stood there not knowing what's going to happen
next..
After a few minutes, he walked in with a little girl..
Girl: Daddy!!
Kirs: My Angel!
King let go, and the girl ran to Kirs.
Mendoza: Zitha.. Come
I walked up to them..
Mendoza: I hope you got the message Kirs, if we
keep this up. More people will be hurt, people we
care about. You thought you protected her but it
turned out that you didn't, so keep to the truce and
we will too
Kirs: Let's get out of here
He winked at me as they walked out..
Mendoza: Are you okay?
Me: I'm fine
Mendoza: Let's go.. Let's get out of here, I'm sure you
need some rest
Me: Yaa thank you
Mendoza: King thank you Man for this
King: Don't mention it
We walked out...
Kirs and them were standing by their cars, I looked at
his Daughter as I got into the car then we drove off..
PEGGY KUNENE
I looked at my bedroom, it was exactly as how I left
it..
Ma: You have lost some weight
I looked at her..
Ma: I'm sorry.. I didn't mean t-
Me: It's okay
Ma: I never touched anything here
Me: It's exactly as how I left it
Ma: I would come here and pray
Me: Thank you Ma, your prayers saved me
We heard a knock..
Ck: I'm sorry to disturb, Zitha is on the way
I sighed in relief..
Me: Ma can Zitha stay with us? She's a good friend
of mine she helped a lot when we were.. She really
came through for me
Ma: Of course she can stay here
Ck: I wanted her to stay with me and my Mother but..
She's not used to us anymore. With what she went
through, it'll be difficult for her to adapt. Thank you
for letting her stay here
Ma: I should cook, I wish I was told about this earlier
and I would've cooked earlier on
Me: It's okay Ma.. I'll take a long warm bath
Ck: I'll leave when they get here
Me: Thank you again Ck
Ck: You welcome
KIRS BOSCH
Menzi: That was close, I feel like we should tail them
and do away with them
I looked at Azelea in the car..
Me: No
Menzi: We can't trust them
Me: Yes we can't but the girls matter to them, they
know that we will come after them if they fuck us up
and they also know that I have a Daughter
Menzi: And who's fault is that?
Me: Fuck that! Everyone screws up once in a while
Menzi: Make sure that you know how to protect your
family because more enemies will use your family to
get to you and we can't afford that to happen
Me: I know.. If you don't mind, I have to take my
Daughter home
Menzi: I'll be in touch
Me: Very well
ZITHA MAGASELA
There was nothing left for me here other than Peggy.
Iker and I we will never be anymore, I don't see
myself with a man anymore. With Peg it's better she
has a family, I have no one. Well I do have my Aunt
and Ck, but I am not much close with my extended
family it has always been me and my Father.
I couldn't stop thinking about our lives at the flats,
what happened and how everything played out. It's
sickening, it's cruel and no woman deserves such..
I'm really taken though, Ck and I we last saw each
other when we were very young. For him to do this
for me, I'm speechless I guess family is not that all
bad..
We arrived at his place, their house was beautiful.
Not too big and not too small either...
Mendoza: Welcome to my home
Me: Thank you
We walked in and we were welcomed by a nice smell
from the kitchen. Ck was standing with some
woman, helping her to cook..
Mendoza: And we home
They looked at us..
Mendoza: Ma this is Zitha, she and Peg were.. They
were held together she'll be staying with us I hope
you don't mind
Ma: Of course not
She took off the oven glove and made her way to me.
She put her hand on my face..
Ma: You poor thing, I can still see all the pain in your
eyes
I tried my hardest not to cry..
Me: Thank you for letting me stay in your house
Ma: We will try our best to help you and Peg
Me: Thank you
The oven beeped..
Ma: Ohw.. Let me attend to that
She walked away..
Ck came to me..
Ck: Hey.. You good?
I hugged him..
Me: Thank you
Ck: I'm just glad that you are back and you are safe,
I've been trying and trying and my trying really came
through
I chuckled with tears falling..
Me: Yeah you did
We broke the hug and I wiped my tears..
Me: Where is Peg?
Ma: She's bathing
Me: Excuse me
Mendoza: Second door to your left
Me: Okay
I walked up to her, I didn't even get lost because she
was singing..
Peg: "My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why, got out
of bed at all.. The morning rain clouds up my window
and I can't see at all, even if I did it'll all be grey.. Put
your picture on my wall, it reminds me that it's not
so bad, it's not so bad"
I knocked..
Peg: Who is it?
Me: It's me
Peg: Come in
I opened the door and walked in, there was a lot of
steam..
Me: Okay.. Are we bathing or boiling ourselves?
Peg: I haven't had a hot bath in a while
Me: You deserve it
I closed the door and looked at her.. Her body had
foam all over
Me: I uhm.. I am dashing out a little with Ck
Peg: Dashing out?
Me: Yeah to my house
Peg: Ohw
Me: Need to get clothes and a few things
Peg: You can wear my clothes
Me: Sweet.. Can't wear my girlfriend's clothes when
I have clothes
She smiled..
Peg: Girlfriend?
Me: Ohw I meant my side thing I'm sorry
She chuckled and got up..
I got the towel.. She got out of the bathtub, the foam
bath was smelling really nice. Like an ocean.. I dried
her body with the towel.
Me: Have you told them?
Peg: About?
Me: The baby
Peg: No.. Not yet
Me: No pressure
Peg: I don't know how
Me: It's okay.. You can take your time
I wrapped the towel around her..
Peg: I think I should dash out with you too
I picked her up.. She wrapped her legs around me
and her arms around my neck with her head on my
shoulder..
Me: No.. You not dashing out with me
I kissed her on her neck..
I walked out with her..
Me: Where is your bedroom?
Peg: The second door
I turned and walked to her bedroom, Ck came
through. I stopped and looked at him..
He mumbled the words "Ohw"..
I used my hand to signal to him that he must turn
back, he did..
Peg: Why did you stop?
Me: You heavy
Peg: You saying I'm fat?
Me: I'm saying you heavy
I opened the door and we walked in..
Me: How old are you again?
Peg: Why?
Me: Your room.. It's.. It's that of a 16 year old.. Pink
Peg: Pink is my favorite colour
Me: Now I know
I placed her on the bed she held on..
Me: Miss Memphis
Peg: I don't want you dashing out
Me: Peg.. Seriously let go!
She let go..
Me: I'll see you when I get back
She made a puppy face..
Me: okay you can get dressed
Peg: No you didn't want the first time, I don't want
anymore
Me: But you just s-
Peg: Just come back
Me: Okay
I tried kissing her but she pushed me off..
Me: Women!
I walked up to the door..
Peg: Says one
Me: Yeah I love your phat ass more
Peg: Ohh my, you an evil human being!
I looked at her as I closed the door, she squinted her
eyes at me..
I laughed and walked out..

ZITHA MAGASELA
Ck drove me to my house to get all my things there.
I didn't know how to feel about this, after what
happened in that house. I don't wanna be there, all
the perfect memories were nothing but lies and
nothing more. It was all fake, a facade!!
Ck: So you and Peggy?
Me: I've seen women who have been sexually
violated before, I've seen the girls at the orphanage
that MG used to take in. Some of them came in
sexually violated. I looked at some and wondered
how difficult it was to move on from the experience,
why it kills them this much? The honest truth is that
no woman should ever be violated in that manner. It
kills you Ck, in ways that no one will understand
unless you've been through it. Kirs was right, yes we
out of there but we damaged a part of us died there.
I will never look at another man in a romantic
manner for as long as I live. I can't be with a man
when I hate them, all that I'll be thinking about is
how to kill him
Ck: Zitha I will never know what happened, I will
never know what you experienced there. All I know
is that you are here now and that's all that matters.
If you wanna be with Peggy then it's okay I just want
you to be okay that's all
Me: I want a place of my own, can't live with Peggy
and her family forever
Ck: Are you sure about that? Are you sure that you
wanna live alone?
Me: I can't have Kirs hold me even when he's not
around
Ck: I think I know a good place, we'll check it out
Me: Here.. Pull over
He whistled..
Ck: Damn.. MG was rich
Me: It's all blood money! Tears of the innocent
I got out of the car...
PEGGY KUNENE
We were sitting around the dinner table eating. How
I've missed my Mother's cooking..
Ma: I'll get more chicken
Me: If I eat more than what I've already ate, I won't
be able to get up from this chair
Ma: That's the whole point
She got up from the chair and walked to the kitchen..
My Brother held my hand..
Mendoza: Are you okay?
Me: I'm fine
Mendoza: I was thinking that you guys should go for
therapy
Me: I'm already on antidepressants sometimes they
make me more depressed but now they helping a lot
Mendoza: You got antidepressants?
Me: Zitha pulled a few strings
Mendoza: Zitha seems like she has helped you a lot
Me: She has, that's why I want us to help her too
Mendoza: Of course, you don't have to mention it
Me: I think she really needs help
Mendoza: Ohh okay?
Me: She killed 3 guards that tried to rape me
Mendoza: Fighting instinct kicked in?
Me: Even when they were dead, she continued to
torture them. Took out their eyes, damaged their
genitals
Mendoza: That's gruesome
Me: I am scared that something in her was created,
something not good. Something evil, she lost herself
and something else was born deep inside of her
Ma: Okay I've kept some for Zitha and Ck
ZITHA MAGASELA
After what happened here, you would swear that the
security code would be changed..
Ck: Maybe she doesn't live here anymore
Me: Maybe
I looked around..
Me: It's clean, seems like someone is living here
We proceeded to the kitchen and I wasn't prepared
for what welcomed me. My what used to be Step
Mother Rosi was sitting on the kitchen counter, Iker
was in between her legs and feeding her
strawberries..
Me: You gotta be kidding me!
They turned and looked at us.. Rosi screamed..
Rosi: Omg Zitha!!
Iker helped her down..
Rosi: Stop touching me, not now!
She made her way to me..
Rosi: I thought you were kid-.. How are you?
Iker: I did hire a PI to help find you
Me: Clearly he didn't help because my cousin Ck was
the one who found me
Rosi: Your face.. Don't worry I know someone who
can help clear off those bruises and dark marks
Typical!!
Me: I'm going to my room to get my things
I don't care what she does, but she was married to
him. I know it wasn't for love but for his money, she
spent his money so at least she should respect his
house and memory..
My room was still the same, my phone was on my
bed. I looked at it and how my Father would come
and we'd talk. How did life change? Change for the
worst?
Rosi walked in..
Rosi: Zitha I.. What you saw
Me: I don't really care
She nodded..
Rosi: We.. We have to talk about his estate
Me: You can have everything
Rosi: The thing is, he left everything to you. The
house, money and everything
Me: I don't want anything of his
Rosi: I wanted to sell the house for 3 million but
couldn't because it's yours
Me: Can we talk about this some other time? I'll stop
by
Rosi: Where are you staying?
Me: With a friend
Rosi: If you wanna come back you can
Me: No!!.. I'm good
Rosi: Okay
She walked out...
I think I do have money on my account from the
profits I made at the Art galaxy, it will take me
through.. I'm not really sure about re-opening the
galaxy, I'll think about it...
PEGGY KUNENE
Me: I don't want anymore food, I'm fine now
Ma: Are you sure? I made your favorite dessert
Me: I'll have it for breakfast
I looked at them..
Me: I have something to say
They looked at me..
Me: I.. I'm pregnant
They looked at me without saying anything..
Me: I'm keeping the baby
Ma: I.. I don't know what to say
Mendoza: Are you sure about this?
Me: I'm sure
Ma: A baby is a blessing despite how it was
conceived, if you wanna keep the baby we will
support you
Me: Zitha and I we.. We are dating too
Ma: It never ends
Mendoza: Whatever it is, we will support you
Me: Thank you
Ma: I just want you to be happy
Me: I'm happy
Ma: That's all that matters to me
ZITHA MAGASELA
Ck: Shiiiit these are your wheels?
Me: Yeap.. Mercedes Benz A45 AMG
Ck: I don't know what to say
Me: I wanna do an exchange, sell it for another car
Ck: No keep it
Me: Ck my Father didn't make his money lawfully
Ck: You didn't know
I looked at it..
Me: We'll see
KIRS BOSCH
I received a call from the flats, Azelea was sleeping..
Me: Yes?
Guard: Sir we searched through the girls flat
Me: Okay?
Guard: Nothing was found other than a phone and a
book
Me: A book?
Guard: It's very detailed more like a plan
Me: What plan?
Guard: I don't know but I think you would wanna see
this.. Signed by Zitha
Me: Ohw.. Thank you for letting me know
Guard: Yes Sir
Zitha could be an assert in our team, she can do
good. I just need to know how to get her to the
team.. She could be better than all the women we've
had before..

We drove back to the house, I was following him
throughout..
When we arrived, Ck and the Mendoza set out they
said they going to handle some business, I didn't ask
much about that I let them be..
I took a bath and then went to bed, didn't like most
of my clothes anymore. Now I wanna wear clothes
with dark colours, need to get some tomorrow
morning..
Peg was sleeping, I got in bed and slept behind her. I
wrapped my arm around her.
Peg: Hey
Me: Hey
Peg: When did you get back?
Me: Just now
Peg: You smell nice
Me: Yaa.. Let's get some sleep
THE MENDOZA
We drove out to dig up Yvonne's body..
Ck: I'm scared, I've never seen her this broken
Me: Peg said something that got to me
Ck: What?
Me: Zitha killed 3 Guards in there and then further
on tortured them as they were dead
Ck: She's breaking down
Me: I think she needs therapy
Ck: You think that will help?
Me: I think so.. We'll see
Ck: How far is the place?
Me: You should know, you followed me once
remember?
Ck: Fuck that
I laughed..
ZITHA MAGASELA
I tried to fall asleep but I couldn't, a lot was going
through my mind and I couldn't attain a peaceful
sleep. A panick attack included.
I got up, put on my tracksuit and decided to go jog
outside. I had taken a pocket knife with me, I've
always had one. It was a gift from my Father..
As I was jogging I noticed a drunk man by the tree
taking a piss, he couldn't even stand straight.. He was
singing a song out loud, I stood there and looked at
him. It was quiet and a bit dark in the street but not
too dark as there were street lights..
When he was done, he noticed me. He was still
holding a bottle with him..
Him: Hello Miss
I kept quiet..
Him: You shouldn't be out on the street all alone
He walked up to me..
Him: I'm from the bar from down the street, I live in
this street
He continued walking close to me..
Him: Are you okay?
I noticed the bottle of whiskey in his hand..
Him: Where do you live? Are you from around the
neighborhood?
His smile and his look disgusted and angered me. I
looked at him and saw all the faces that violated me
at the flats. Something deep inside of me unleashed..
Him: Come let me walk you home
He touched me on my arm..
Me: Don't touch me!!!
Him: Okay.. I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you feel
uncomfortable, it's not safe for a lady to be out on
the street all alone
Me: Did you wanna violate me?
Him: What?
Me: Quiet and dark street, just a woman jogging
down alone the street and you saw an opportunity
Him: Miss I'm not like that
Me: You are like that!! All of you are like that!
Him: What is wrong with you?
I took out the knife in my pocket and made my way
to him, I don't think he saw it. I stabbed him deep in
his tummy, he managed to push me back a little. He
staggered back and let go of the bottle, he put both
his hands on his tummy.. I walked to him..
Him: Stop!!
He tried to defend himself with his hands and I
stabbed him on his hands, he tripped as he moved
backwards and fell. I kicked him on his face a few
times then continued stabbing him, on his crotch
multiple times..
THE MENDOZA
We parked and made it on foot, Ck had a torch with
him..
Ck: Do you still remember?
Me: Yes I marked the grave
Ck: Okay
We walked for a while looking for it..
Ck: Are you sure you still remember it?
I looked around..
Me: Give me the torch
He handed me the torch..
I flashed it around..
ZITHA MAGASELA
I only stopped when I didn't feel him moving nor
heard him making any sound. I came back to my
senses and he was on the ground, bleeding a lot..
I looked around, it was still quiet. I got up and looked
at my hands and the knife, they were bloody. I
quickly ran back to the house...
THE MENDOZA
We ended up finding it after a long search. When we
did, it was an open grave. No body, no nothing..
Ck: TF?
Me: I'm screwed! How much information did Kirs
have about Yvonne?
Ck: I don't remember how much I told him
Me: Why did you tell him in the first place?
Ck: I was working for him! I needed his trust
(Silence)
Ck: Wait
Me: What?
Ck: They can't link it to you, there's no evidence
Me: They will
Ck: Then we have to make sure that where you held
her there's no evidence that can be collected
Me: Let's go!
ZITHA MAGASELA
At the tap outside I washed my hands and the knife.
I took off all the clothes before heading inside, my
sneakers had blood. It was quiet around the house
Ck and Mendoza are probably not back as yet. I
didn't see his car parked outside.. I held the clothes
carefully making sure to leave no stain.
I went to the bathroom and threw them in, I then
walked to the bedroom and checked up on Peg. She
was still sleeping..
I went back to the bathroom and showered, after
showering I took the clothes, wiped the floor clean
and went back to the bedroom. I put on my PJs again,
and then stuffed the clothes in my bag with the
knife...
I got back in bed again...
KIRS BOSCH
Azelea and I we had slept at some hotel for the night,
the next morning we were on the road again but
stopped for breakfast first..
Azelea: Dad how far are we from home?
Me: We still very far
Azelea: I miss Mommy
Me: You spoke to Mommy on the phone last night
She shrugged her shoulders..
Me: You'll see Mommy again
I got a call from the hospital..
Me: Kirs Bosch
Voice: Good morning Sir, you are the next of Kin of
Gerda Bosch? You are her Grandson? We were given
your number when she came in
Me: Yes
Voice: I'm sorry to inform you that she passed on in
the early hours of this morning
My heart sank..
Voice: Sir?
Me: Thank you for informing me
ZITHA MAGASELA
I felt kisses all over my face. I slowly opened my eyes,
It was Peg. She had her head balanced on her hand,
she was in a towel and that nice ocean smell came
back again, she was from bathing... I smiled...
Peg: It's 09:00am
Me: Still early
Peg: Not at all.. At what time did you fall asleep?
Me: I don't remember
Peg: You still drunk by sleep
Me: I can't sleep with you nagging me
Peg: You still wanna sleep?
I looked at her..
Me: No.. Maybe later
Peg: Okay
Me: Let's go out and eat breakfast
Peg: Go out?
Me: Yes.. I wanna take you out
She kept quiet..
Me: We can't stop living life just because Kirs exists
Peg: I just.. I don't..
Me: Kirs is gone, he made the truce. Plus I'll never let
anything happen to you
I poked her nose..
Peg: Okay let's go out
Me: That's my girl
Peg: I'll get dressed whilst you bath
I looked at her..
Me: I love you
Peg: I love you too

When we walked out of the house, there were Police
down the street. A yellow restricting tape with a few
people gathered there. The silver paper was over the
dead body..
Peg: What happened there?
Me: I'm not sure
Peg: Should we go and see?
Me: Why? It's none of our business
Peg: It's our street
Me: Gummy obviously someone died there I don't
want us going there, especially after what happened
to us I don't want you getting traumatized
Peg: Yaa, you probably right.. Let's go
I opened the door for her, she got in..
Me: Strap yourself
She strapped herself..I closed the door...
SIHLE
Beauty accompanied me to the Police station, we
were driven by one of the guards that guard our
house..
Detective: You went missing when?
Me: I.. I'm not sure a while back probably 2 months
ago or so
Detective: You were rescued when?
Me: After a few weeks
Detective: Why didn't you come then?
Me: I was still scared because the people who were
involved were still on the loose
Detective: Do you remember the People who did
this?
Me: It was a woman she uhm.. She sent a DM on my
Instagram and offered me an opportunity to be her
makeup line ambassador
Detective: Do you remember her name?
Me: She passed on, I saw on TV. She was gunned
down at her house with her family
Detecitve: Who rescued you?
Beauty: It was my Brother
Me: I broke out and he found me wandering around
the street
Detective: Where are you from?
Me: Gauteng
Detective: Do you want us to take you back there?
Me: Uhm no.. I'm okay, just need you to inform the
authorities that side. Inform them that I'm okay
Detective: Okay.. Please sign here
I took the pen and signed the statement..
DETECTIVE KING
They closed him again, I just got to the crime scene..
Officer: This is brutal, who would do this.. Were they
trying to rob him?
Me: No
Officer: No?
Me: This was Personal
Officer: He had an enemy?
Me: Probably.. A mere robbery he would've been
stabbed anywhere in his body but his crotch so this
is Personal
Officer: Shit
Me: I will have to talk to his Partner first if he had any
Officer: He lived 2 houses away from this one
Me: Let's go there
We walked there...
KIRS BOSCH
I was still on the road as I called Rich..
Rich: Gustavo
Me: They killed my Grandmother
Rich: What?
Me: Ck and them
Rich: I thought she was admitted
Me: She was, she has always had heart problems.
What those guys put her through, she couldn't
handle it
Rich: That's shit man, I'm sorry
Me: Was the body dug up?
Rich: Yes Sondezi did that, she was thrown in an area
where she would be found
Me: Thank you for your help
Rich: Still can't believe we were able to find it
Me: The rental car he used when he was tailing the
Mendoza helped, he didn't know it had a tracker and
I got the location. Thank you to Menzi and the K9-
unit that were able to sniff the body out
Rich: Will it create heat for the Mendoza?
Me: It's worth a try
Rich: We will see
ZITHA MAGASELA
I wanted a few clothes, we started with that part first
before going to eat breakfast..
I bought dark colours, black mostly but I did buy a bit
of white too.. My account still had 90k, it's better
that the money was not affiliated with my Father, I
made it on my own through my exhibitions..
Peg bought clothes too, we bought a few things. The
budget was 10k mine were a bit expensive because
it was Adidas, Nikey brands and sports bras with
boots and sneakers..
Peg: You really didn't have too
Me: We deserve this
Peg: Thank you Babe
Me: You welcome
We passed by an Adult shop..
Me: Wanna go in?
Peg: Why not?
We went inside..
I want our sex life to not be boring. Peg and I we two
individuals who are not lesbian but just fell in love
with each other, I want her to feel the sexual
experience that she was too when she was still with
a man..
Me: How do you feel about a Dildo?
Peg: You'll do all the work?
Me: Just like back at the flats that night
Peg: Mind what you say, we might just have sex in
this store
Me: How about this one
Peg: It looks too thick
Me: Well you do want the feel of it right? Plus it's a
strap it'll make my job easier
She looked at it..
Me: Okay fine let's 3 different sizes and we will stick
with the one you comfortable with
Peg: That's better
Me: Let's get these too
Peg: Is this going to be some dark sex situation?
Me: Ordinary sex gets boring as time goes on, spicing
it up makes it more enjoyable
Peg: Hmmmm
Me: You can choose anything
Peg: I think these are fine for now
Me: Okay then we'll get the dildos
Peg: And a vibrator
Me: And a vibe

After making the statement we went out to eat, it
was good getting fresh air and seeing People..
Beauty: You did well
Me: You think?
Beauty: Yes
Me: I just don't want them to continue with the
investigation
Beauty: Cops are lazy you have just made their job
easy
Me: I hope so.. This is lovely, the fresh air
Beauty: I told you that it would get better
I smiled..
DETECTIVE KING
I gave her another tissue..
Her: I'm sorry it's just that
Me: No it's okay, don't apologize
Her: We.. We lost our child not so long ago so he
buried his sorrows in alcohol
Me: Did he have any enemies?
Her: No.. He was an admired Person, he was a good
guy unless someone followed him from the Bar
Me: This was more Personal, the stabbing in his
crotch
Her: What?
Me: You didn't see his body?
Her: Only the face, I didn't wanna see the whole
thing nor be there.. That's why his Sister is there,
waiting for his body to be taken
Me: Did he uhm.. Was he ever involved in a sexual
act? Maybe violated a woman
Her: No!! He was not like that, what are you asking
me?
Me: I know these questions are un-
Her: You are asking me if my husband was a rapist!
Noah would.. He wasn't that type of a man
Me: I understand.. I'm sorry for your loss again
Her: Are we done?
Me: For now Yes, thank you for your time

THE MENDOZA
King stopped by to tell me about the murder down
the street..
Me: This street has always been safe, our
neighborhood has always been safe. Such has never
happened before, never heard it happened
King: The attack was Personal, he was stabbed in his
crotch
Me: What?
King: Whoever did this, had a Personal vendetta
Me: That's bad, any suspects?
King: No.. Asked around no one heard anything the
wife said he had no enemies and he was a good
Person, even neighbours said so
Me: I know don't know him, I didn't grow up in this
neighborhood but I always heard it's safe from my
Mother and Sister when I used to communicate with
them
King: We will see how it goes, still gathering evidence
and investigating
Me: You'll keep me posted
King: Yaa.. Where is Ck?
Me: He went home, he'll be back
King: Let me go.. I'll call you
Me: Okay
We exchanged a handshake and then he left.
My phone rang, it was my Superior..
Me: Sir
Him: I received the letter of resignation
Me: Yes
Him: Are you sure about this?
Me: We just got my Sister back and I wanna move
back here, I want to be with my family. I realized life
is too short
Him: I understand.. How's the case going with
Yvonne?
Me: Still looking
Him: I trust you will find her and the authorities that
side
Me: Yes Sir
Him: Bye
Me: Bye
I put the phone on the table and sat down..

I looked at him..
Waiter: I think the combo will do well, it's ribs, wings
and chips with onion rings
Peg: How many wings?
Waiter: 4
Peg: 4
Waiter: We can add
Peg: I don't wanna sleep here
They both laughed..
Peg: I'm not trying to roll out of here like a ball
Waiter: 4 wings it is and ribs
Peg: Thank you
Waiter: Drink?
Peg: Uhm.. Lemonade
Waiter: Lemonade it is
He turned to me..
Waiter: What can I get you Mam?
Me: Errr.. Just a glass of beer
Waiter: What kind of beer?
Me: Flying fish
Waiter: Anything else?
Me: For now I'm good
Waiter: I'll be right back
He walked away I looked at him..
Peg: Nothing?
Me: I don't have appetite
Peg: You okay?
My eyes stuck on the waiter..
Me: Yes
Peg: But it's almost in the afternoon Zee you n-
Me: Peg I said I'm fine! Stop nagging!
She kept quiet..
Me: I'm sorry.. Hey.. I'm sorry
Peg: It's okay
I stretched my hand and held hers..
Me: Maybe I'll have what you having
Peg: You don't have to eat if you don't want too
Me: No it's okay I want too
Peg: Okay
I looked at the waiter, he was looking at us. He
moved his eyes from us when I looked at him....
THE MENDOZA
I wanted to buy Peg a new phone, so I went to her
bedroom to check her charger to be sure which
phone to buy..
I searched through her drawers couldn't find
anything, I saw a charger ontop of a bag. I went to
check, it could be Zitha's. I noticed her bag had her
name stitched on it. I picked it up to look at the
stitch, it was beautiful. The stitch was perfectly done,
so she used to roll with tailored made bags. She
must've been really balling.. The bag fell, things
inside were scattered on the floor. I sighed and
crouched down to pick them up, I noticed bloody
sneakers. I went through the clothes and stumbled
on a tracksuit, the Adidas track pants had white lines
on the side, I noticed bloodstains..
Me: TF?
I thought for a while..
I remembered Peggy's words:
"She violated the Guards even after they were dead,
torturing them and their genitals"
I remembered King's words:
"It seemed Personal, his crotch was stabbed"
Me: You gotta be kidding me!
I put everything back in..
ZITHA MAGASELA
The waiter brought our order..
Waiter: If you need anything, please ask one of the
other waiters
Peg: Where you going?
Waiter: Smoking break at the back
Peg: They actually allow that?
Waiter: So long it's not done here inside when you
working
They both laughed..
Peg: Thank you
Waiter: You welcome.. You beautiful by the way
Peg: Ohw thank you
Waiter: Well ladies enjoy your meal
He walked away..
Peg: Shame he's a sweet and friendly waiter
Me: Tell me you noticed he was trying to hit on you?
Peg: I don't think so, I'm sure he's professional. He
was just trying to be nice
Me: Remind me to tip him twice then
Peg: Jealous are we?
Me: Why should I?
I held her hand again..
Me: Why should I? After all I am the one who has the
girl right?
Peg: Right
I kissed her hand..
Peg: You should try this, it looks delicious
Me: Yeah maybe
I took out my phone..
Me: I have to take this, it's my Step Mother
Peg: It didn't ring
Me: It's on vibration
I got up and walked up to her..
I wrapped my arm around her neck and kissed her
cheek..
Me: Stay here okay, I'll be right back
Peg: Okay
Me: Give me a kiss
She lifted her head up and kissed me, I ran my tongue
on her lips..
She chuckled..
Peg: Stop it.. People are watching
Me: People are busy peopling and minding their own
Peg: Go already
THE MENDOZA
My Mother was doing laundry..
Me: Hey Mom
Ma: Hey Mom? Who am I? Your friends that you
hang with?
I laughed..
Me: Tell me did Zitha go out last night when we were
gone?
Ma: Go where?
Me: Jogging maybe in a tracksuit?
Ma: I don't think so, I didn't hear anything.. Why?
Me: I'm just worried, I don't want them going out
especially with a killer on the loose
Ma: That's true
ZITHA MAGASELA
I whistled with my hands in his my pockets and made
my way to the back, he was there smoking next to
the garbage..
Me: Hey
Him: Hi
I walked up to him..
Him: Are you lost?
Me: No wanted a smoke too
Him: You could smoke inside
Me: Yaa my girlfriend doesn't like me smoking
Him: Ohw that's your girlfriend?
Me: Yeap
Him: I see
Me: You see what?
Him: Sorry?
Me: You think I didn't notice those sly comments?
You looking at her all the way down to her breasts?
Him: I don't know what you talking about, I was just
being nice. I am like that with all customers
Me: Is it? So in your head you didn't have a fantasy
of fucking her?
He chuckled..
Him: Eyy mfethu angazi uringa ngani (I don't know
what you talking about)
He threw the cigarette on the ground..
Him: Enjoy your smoke
Me: My mistake.. Apologies
I stretched my hand out to him, he looked at it.. He
stretched out his to me, we put it in a handshake.
The grip of the handshake gave me a blood rush,
gave me flashbacks about the events at the flats. The
beast in me unleashed.. He looked at me..
Him: Are you okay? You groaning like some animal
I moved closer and put my knee right on his crotch..
Him: What the?
He let go and put his hands on the front, bending and
groaning in pain. I kicked him on his face hard, he fell
on his back..
Him: What the fuck??
I looked at him on the floor in pain, I turned around
and went back to the restaurant with no one seeing
what happened...
PEGGY KUNENE
I continued eating, when Zitha walked back in.. She
sat down again..
Zitha: Now I can order something and eat
Me: Call one of the waiters
Zitha: Our waiter is not back?
Me: I didn't see him walking back in
Zitha: I'll get one of the waitresses
She took the menu and looked at it..

We also did a bit of shopping, I bought toiletries and
all that..

He kissed me on my cheek..
Me: You home early

THE MENDOZA
I called Anne, Anne was a psychologist that we
worked closely with. She has a PhD and she's very
good at her work..
Anne: You resigned, the team won't be the same
without you
Me: I'm sorry
Anne: Yvonne is missing we are lost
Me: You over exaggerating
Anne: I wish you could come back
Me: Yaa but that won't happen.. Listen Anne I need
your help, a diagnosis
Anne: I'm listening
Me: Take me through the mind of a sexual violated
woman, the trauma after that
Anne: Well it depends
Me: Can they? Can they kill?
Anne: What exactly are you asking me?
Me: This stays between us right?
Anne: I swear
Me: My Sister, The Friend she was held captive with
she's.. She was said to have attacked and killed 3
guards, even after they were dead she continued to
torture them. Attempted to cut off their genitals
Anne: It could've been an act of survival, protecting
herself against the predators
Me: What if it happens even after she's been
rescued?
Anne: That's a serious problem then. Most women
who have been violated in that manner they tend to
see Men as evil. Something as an innocent touch, a
look can trigger the traumatic experience and they
will end up killing. Cutting off their Genitals is
symbolic, she's robbing them off their power, their
manhood. Proving to them that she has won
Me: Coping mechanism?
Anne: No.. Revenge, coping mechanism would be
turning into drugs or actually being a sex addict after
the experience
Me: So what's the diagnosis?
Anne: She's deranged, she's insane
Me: How do we deal with that? Is she a psychopath?
Anne: No a Psychopath is cold hearted, precise,
calculative and persistent. They show no remorse.
Psychopaths have killed at least more than 3 people.
It's too early to classify her as that, she's just on her
way of becoming a sociopath. Impulsive, killings
elicited by Anger and trauma, careless
I sighed..
Anne: What she went through was unfair but the
killings are unfair too, she needs to understand that
even though the world is full of evil Men but there's
also good ones too
Me: What do I do?
Anne: She needs to go Mendoza to a mental
institution for at least 6 months to put together her
psychi. I believe that the reason why you have come
to me is because you haven't turned her in. She's
dangerous, she's broken, angry and has a lot of hate
towards Men. The next thing she'll go out hunting for
these Men and killing them she sees her torturer in
every man
Me: I can't put her in a mental institution, Her and
my Sister are romantically involved. Peggy won't
survive without her
Anne: Peggy is safe from her but you not
Me: Will she attack me?
Anne: If you somehow trigger her trauma and the
memories, could be how you look at her, a touch, sly
comments. She's a ticking time bomb
Me: She was held captive, putting her in a mental
institution will be like we have given up on her. We
are putting her away to be held captive again, she
will self destruct
Anne: That's true
Me: Anne what do I do
Anne: There's another option
Me: I'm hearing
Anne: Getting revenge on the Men that tortured her
might help
Me: It will?
Anne: Yes.. It would provide her with the healing and
closure she needs
Me: This is difficult
Anne: Try therapy for her, hypnosis and
antidepressants then see from there
Me: Thank you
Anne: Anytime
I hung up...

I needed to blow off some steam, so on our way back
home. We drove into a very quiet place, deep in the
woods. We used one of the strap Dildos, front seat
with her ontop of me. The sexual chemistry between
us I thought it would end at the flats, didn't think that
we would still be sexually attracted to each other..
On my part I don't see myself ever being penetrated
by a Man, the sexual stimulation that the strap in
turn gave my clit was pleasuring. Her pumping up
and down stimulated my clit, I think they made them
that both parties should enjoy....
Her soft moan, the kisses on the neck, running my
hands all over her body was amazing. How she
actually was enjoying herself, her not so small
breasts with not so much pointy nipples.. The dirty
kissing, gently grabbing on her afro with my other
hand on her waist, making her to pump more whilst
she was losing her mind was beautiful
She placed her forehead on mine, her hands on my
shoulders my hands on her butt moving her up and
down. Our warm breaths hitting against each other's
lips..
She lowered her hands and squeezed my breasts..
Peg: I love you so much
Me: I love you more
THE MENDOZA
CK came back, I sat him down and explained
everything to him that was happening with Zitha.. He
kept quiet for a while..
Ck: We saved them but the damage had already
been done
Mendoza: What are we going to do?
Ck: A mental institution will mess her up even more,
it'll be the flats again
Mendoza: If we don't and she continues, she will slip
up and get caught. The judge is going to put her there
for a very long time
Ck: She's not going to stop until she eventually goes
after Kirs
Me: That's a suicide mission, it's impossible
He looked at me..
Ck: It's not impossible it's just difficult
Me: What are you saying?
Ck: Obviously right now they feel like they
untouchable the authorities won't do anything but
what if it's not the authorities that take them down?
Me: What are you talking about?
Ck: What would Kirs do if his empire could come
down crashing and the cause of that is a woman?
Me: You want Zitha to take Kirs down?
Ck: With the right state of mind she can, she's
already killed 3 guards and one innocent man. To
save these man from her demons what if we make
her revenge be directed to the right people
Me: As in like kill them?
Ck: No that would be easy we turn the tables and
make them go through what these women have
went through?
Me: They are a strong operation
Ck: They human, flesh just like you and I. First and
foremost how do we know they won't come back
again? I mean do you trust Kirs?
Me: I'll never trust that Bastard
Ck: So what do you say?

When we got in, Mendoza and Ck requested to talk
to me. They seemed all serious, I walked into the
living room and sat down whilst Peggy went to the
bedroom to put the clothes..
Mendoza: You and Peggy went through a serious
ordeal, we have decided that You and Peg should go
for therapy
Me: I'm fine
Ck: No you not fine
Me: Yeah you can't tell me if I'm fine or not, are you
in my head?
Mendoza threw my bloody sneakers on the floor..
Mendoza: If you were fine, you wouldn't have killed
that guy down the street Noah
I looked at the sneakers..
Me: You had no right to go through my things
Mendoza: I wasn't going through your things
Me: Then how did you stumble upon my sneakers?
Ck: It's not a situation of stumbling upon the
sneakers, Zitha you need help
Me: How sure are you that I'm the one who did it?
Mendoza: Should I get King to take the sneakers have
them checked against the blood of the victim to see
if they won't find a match?
I rubbed my face with my hands..
Peg: Ohh my God!!
I moved my hands from my face and looked at her..
Me: Peggy
Peg: You killed Noah?
Me: I can explain
Peg: You killed someone in cold blood and then with
the same hands held me throughout the whole
night?
I got up from the couch and walked up to her, she
started moving back..
Me: I can Explain.. Please let me explain
Peg: When did you even do it?
Me: I.. It's not what you think
Peg: At the flats I thought it was just self defense, but
you are a killer!!!
Me: Peggy!!
Peg: You no different from Kirs and them!!
Me: Don't ever compare me to them!!
Ck: Okay let's calm down
She stopped..
Me: I love you
Peg: If I give birth to a boy, are you going to kill him
too?
Me: How could you even think like that? I'll never
hurt you or the baby
Peg: I don't ever wanna see you again
Me: Don't say that
Peg: I can't be with you! I don't know you anymore!!
I walked up to her.. I tried to touch her..
Me: Peg.. It's me
Peg: I want you gone.. Clearly we not safe around
you anymore
Me: If you leave me, I'm not going to make it. I
promise you, I'll stop
Peg: You killed someone!
I shook her..
Me: Just stop it!
She froze in fear..
Me: Stop it! You not leaving me!
Mendoza: Let go of her
Me: Stay out of this, it has nothing to do with you!!!
Mendoza: I said let go off her!!
He grabbed my arm..
Ck: No Mendoza don't touch her
I let go of Peg then turned to him, just when I was
about to kick him in his crotch he blocked me with
his other hand. He grabbed both my hands and
pinned me against the wall..
Ck: Peg go to your bedroom
Peg walked away..
Me: You can go and steam it off, but you not leaving
me!!
Mendoza: Hey I said stop it!!
Me: Let go off me
Mendoza: Calm down!!
He was pinning me tight, I couldn't move. My survival
instinct kicked in. I head butted him.
Mendoza: Tf?
He let go of me and stepped back..
Ck came closer..
Ck: Calm down
Me: Don't touch me!
Ck: I'm not going to touch you
I walked to Peggy's room, he blocked my way...
Me: Ck I'm warning you
Ck: If you go in there you going to hurt her, is that
what you want? To scare her?
I looked at him..
Ck: Let it go.. Let it go..

ZITHA MAGASELA
Me: I was jogging and he was there taking a piss by
the tree
Ck: Did he say something to you?
I shook my head..
Me: Not much other than greeting
Mendoza had a mixed vegetable pack against his
chin..
Mendoza: What triggered you to attack him?
He was talking funny, he bit his tongue in the process
when I head butted him..
Me: He was drunk, it was late at night. I thought that
if it wasn't me, if it was another girl what would've
happened? What can into my mind was to do away
with him to save the next girl
Ck: Therapy and meds is not a sign of weakness, it
will help you be able to think rationally. What you did
Zitha, you could end up in a mental institution for a
long time. What happened to you wasn't fair, and
neither was killing that man. He didn't deserve to be
at the end stick of your anger, and if you don't get
help you will hurt more innocent Men. Men who did
nothing to you. Peg is right, What if when she gives
birth your anger has matured? Then you kill the
baby?
I kept quiet..
Mendoza: We can help you, get the the right people
but you need to get help first
I looked at them..
Ck: When you have gotten help, we will help you take
Kirs down
Me: It's not about killing him, I don't want him to die.
I want him to be at the receiving end of what he put
through all those girls so he can know how it feels.
Him and his goons, I want them to be traded for sex,
abused and tortured. The money they were getting
by selling those girls, they will recover it and pay the
girls what they owe them. Those who died, the
money should go to their families. I want the
Orphanages ran legally to help those kids, I wanna
turn the tables. I wanna punish them the same way
as they did to those women. "Do unto others, as you
would have them do unto you"
Ck: An eye for an eye type of thing?
Me: I know an Eye for An eye makes the world go
blind, Revenge will resort to a lot of deaths but then
who the fuck is keeping score?
Mendoza: I actually like the idea
Me: The cape flats, I want them turned from how
they currently operating. Those girls were robbed off
many years. The cape flats should be a shelter for
abused women "Find Comfort", I want those who
wanna go back to school have that chance. Those
who are skilled at doing something, use their skills to
generate income for themselves. I want them to get
their revenge by seeing all those bastards
prostituted the same way that they've been doing to
them
Ck: To achieve that, you have to fight smart and not
with anger.. Don't win a battle, win the war
I smiled and shook my head..
Ck: What?
Me: A friend once told me that
Ck: Wise friend
Mendoza: For now I think you should give Peg space
Ck: We can occupy Strokes place, he was renting
apparently we can speak to the landlord. I'll be your
housemate so long you don't sneak up on me at
night with a knife
I chuckled..
Me: Thank you
Mendoza: Thank you for seeing reason even though
it almost broke my jaw
Me: Sorry about that
Mendoza: How does a tiny girl like you have so much
strength?
Ck: Anger is very dangerous
Mendoza: And you got away with what?
Me: A headache
Mendoza: I'm going to train you just so I can get back
at you
Me: I don't know about the getting back part but I'll
appreciate that
Ck: I'll search up a good psychologist, at least
tomorrow you'll have to go
Mendoza: I'll speak to King and see if he can let you
get away with this, with just a slap on the wrist
Ck: We not motivating you to kill
Me: I don't wanna kill them, just want them
punished
Mendoza: The Punisher
Me: The girl with a hidden identity under the Mask
Ck: Fuck!! I like it.. I'm all in

[2 MONTHS LATER]
The road to recovery was more painful than the
anticipated outcome. The therapy, the medication.
The antidepressants were the most hardest for
about a month before they started helping me fully
to get back to my rational thinking. Another situation
that helped me was the intense training..
The Mendoza has been dedicated in that part, he
showed up for all our training sessions and he wasn't
at all merciful. I even felt like he forgot I was a
woman, he put me through brutal training that I
never thought I was going to pull it off. The first few
weeks I wanted to quit, but thinking about the goal I
pressed on. I used training as my coping mechanism
and I've also joined the gym too.
At the gym I have an instructor, he's very good. We
do kick boxing most of the time in the boxing ring. I
lift weights and what not. Good way to channel my
anger than actually using it against someone. I am
comfortable now being in the presence of Men, they
there all the time at the gym especially the lift
weighting part. I don't fully trust them but so far I
haven't ran into one that has threatened to sexual
violate me. I even have friends in the gym, not a
Personal friendship just at the gym.. They've put me
on suppliments too like USN muscle gain.
Things between and Peg I were still off, I miss her a
lot but at the same time I decided to give her the
space she wanted. Until today, when she hit me up
and asked if we could meet up for lunch.. I agreed
and drove over to the restaurant..
She was late but not too late. She walked in a
summer dress, I've noticed she gained a few, she
really looked beautiful. The pregnancy was treating
her well, she was glowing I've noticed her lips were
more thicker than how they originally are..
She noticed me and I got up, I opened the chair for
her. She stood there and looked at me..
Peg: Hi
Me: Hi
We stood there looking at each other..
Me: Uhm.. You can have a seat
She sat down..
I went and sat opposite her..
"You look good"
We both said that at the same time..
Me: You look good
Peg: So do you? You look like you have been hitting
the gym
Me: Yeah I have joined the gym
Peg: That's good.. Hoping you not training to attack
more Men
Me: I haven't attacked one
Peg: Good for you
Me: Obviously you still mad, so what are we doing
here?
Peg: I am not mad
Me: I cannot change what happened but I am trying,
I'm really trying
She unzipped her bag and took out a picture.
Peg: Doc said I'm hitting 4 months in a weeks time
I took it and looked at it..
Me: Is it a girl or a boy?
Peg: I didn't ask about the gender
Me: If 4 months is estimated, that means
Peg: It's Fabiano
Me: Thank God
Peg: Thank God indeed, if it was Kirs I don't know
what I'd do
Me: Can I keep this?
Peg: Yes
Me: Thank you
Peg: I went back to the restaurant where I was
working before
Me: Will you handle both the pregnancy and your
job?
Peg: We have to start living again right?
Me: Right
Peg: I miss you
I looked at her..
Me: I miss you too
Peg: How have you been?
Me: I've been good.. Might start opening my Art
gallery soon
Peg: That's good
Me: After our meeting, I'm planning on going to the
Orphanage
Peg: I'm really proud of you
Me: I'm proud of you too

We were on our way to Gauteng, Rich has agreed
that now it's time I go to my family.
He held my hand as he was driving..
Rich: Are you okay?
Me: Just nervous
Rich: It'll be okay
Me: I hope so
KIRS BOSCH
She was crying really bad, her hands tied. One dick
deep in her mouth, another one deep inside of her
coochie and another one in her anal area..
I walked up to the camera man..
Me: How long?
Camera man: 30min in
Me: It has to be an hour long
Camera man: Yes Sir
One of the girls we got a few days ago, we doing a
sex tape on her. The Guards have taken the blue pills,
so they'll be going for a while..
Unfortunately our sex tapes are brutal, we upload on
the dark web and people take it from there. We get
a lot of views and a lot of clients when we open
auctioning, it phases me how some Men take
pleasure in seeing a woman being this sexually
violated but then again. The web is full of rapists,
pedophiles and what not..
The girl is 18 years old, and she was halfway to
passing out. Even her cries, she sounded tired
already. Shame she has another 30min to go..
We have changed how we do things now, every girl
we get and those around here who were never
exposed to such. Will now be, so they don't give us
problems when we sell them..
I walked out, and saw a little boy with two guards.
He will be next, he looked 13...
CK
I checked, approximately 100 videos have been
uploaded on the dark web from the flats. Kirs is really
on fire with these videos, they the most viewed..
He probably got another tech guy to do this.
I took the book and looked at it..
"The Punisher
The girl with a hidden identity under the Mask"
The fate of this girls lie in the hands of Zitha. Kirs has
gone completely insane, he's brutal and
approximately 20 Girls have been missing...
ZITHA MAGASELA
Peg and I had a good time at the restaurant, I noticed
the waiter that I attacked. Seems like he had just
gotten in for his shift because he was fixing his
Apron..
Me: Babe can you give a few?
Peg: Okay
I got up and then went up to him at the counter..
Me: Eyy
He looked at me..
Me: About the other day, I'm sorry
He looked at me..
Him: Exactly why did you attack me?
I thought for a while, I think he does deserve an
explanation and the truth. I owe him that much..
Me: I was kidnapped a while back, I was subjected to
brutal sexual violation and was almost treaded for
sex.. When I was rescued unfortunately the damage
had been done
Him: I'm sorry to hear that but you should know that
not all Men are like that. I have little Sisters, a
Mother, and my last born is a girl. I would never put
through another woman what I wouldn't them to go
through
Me: Now I understand that
Him: You were thin that time you attacked me, now
you..
Me: Ya I know
Him: Never seen a woman with those, literally the t-
shirt is tight around your arms
Me: Been lifting weights lately
He raised both his arms..
Him: Don't shoot
I laughed..
Me: Don't worry you safe
I extended my hand to him..
Him: You won't jump over and attack me right?
Me: I promise
He shook my hand, I didn't have any flash back..
Me: Thank you for not seeking revenge
Him: Only if I get tipped well
Me: Only if you'll be our waiter from hereon, my
girlfriend seems to like this restaurant a lot
Him: Perfect..
Me: I'm Zitha
Him: The Enemy!
Me: The Enemy!
Him: Nice knowing you, I'm Laizer
Me: Same here.. Let me leave you to work
Him: See you around
Me: Ayt
I walked over back to Peg..
Me: Ready to go?
Peg: Uhm yes
Me: I have to get to the Orphanage
Peg: I should come with you next time
That won't be a good idea, Kirs should never know
about my involvement again at the Orphanage..
Me: Yeah next time
Peg: Maybe I can come sleepover tonight
I looked at her..
Peg: The Dr said sex might be a good active sport for
the baby and I reckon someone who uses a strapped
dildo very well
Me: We can arrange that, I'll pick you up later
Peg: I'll pack a bag

ZITHA MAGASELA
After meeting up with Peg I drove straight to the
Orphanage to see my Girls.. There's cameras at the
gate, and security. Security still remembered me
after explaining why I shouldn't be seen here they
didn't make me sign the register. They just gave it to
me for the camera purposes to make it seem like I
was signing, then I drove in..
Definitely Kirs and his People don't know my car, so
I was safe on that part..
I parked and took my face mask and put it on, then
put on my bucket hat all the way to cover my
forehead and only show my eyes. My weave was
hanging over my shoulders.
I didn't have to wear a jacket because my upper body
was now slightly bigger than how I used to be so he
will never notice. I got out with my backpack and
then I walked to the office..
I slightly looked at the camera, Mrs Dlamini was
sitting at her desk. I knocked, she looked at me..
Dlamini: Yes?
I moved back indicating she must come to out.. She
got up and walked out her office, she stood at the
door..
Dlamini: Can I help you?
I looked at the Camera and stepped aside..
Me: It's me
Dlamini: You who?
I took off my mask, she looked at me..
Dlamini: Zitha?
She completely walked out..
Dlamini: Wooooow Zitha
She hugged me..
Dlamini: You look.. Wooooow
She squeezed my arm..
Dlamini: Look at you
Me: How are you?
Dlamini: I'm good.. How are you?
Me: I'm good
Dlamini: Last time I heard, you were kidnapped
I nodded..
Dlamini: You see how dangerous it is? This was what
I was warning you about
Me: I know
Dlamini: I'm sorry about your Father
Me: It is well.. Look I am here to see my girls but I
can't be seen here so that's why I couldn't step into
your office.. The camera
Dlamini: I understand
Me: It's important you keep this between us
Dlamini: So long you don't cause any problems
Me: I won't.. I promise
Dlamini: It's lovely to see you again
Me: Same here
PEGGY KUNENE
I was laying back on the couch, with my hand on my
tummy. I was lost deep in my thoughts thinking
about Zitha. She looked so insanely hot. The new
body development, plus she doesn't have big breasts
so the body improvement really worked on her..
Just imagining her I was getting turned on. Not
forgetting her face, the bruises and dark marks had
gone. It had gone back to being flawless. Another
thing, she had tattoos on her arms.
Not something drastic, but they were beautiful..
Mendoza: You and Zitha are back together?
I looked at him..
Me: Huh?
Mendoza: You smiling alone and blushing
Me: What if it's someone else?
Mendoza: It's not because only she can take out that
spark out of you
Me: Yes we went out to eat
Mendoza: I'm glad.. She's really doing well
Me: It seems that way, for the first time in a long
time I was conversing with her the sane her
Mendoza: Wasn't easy but she's doing very well I'm
even proud of her
Me: I noticed her body has changed
Mendoza: Yeah she's going to the gym
Me: So long it's not for hurting others
Mendoza: No.. It's a good coping mechanism for her
currently
Me: I'm just glad things are working out well for all
of us, thank you for letting this thing with Kirs go. I
don't wanna go back to that dark hole again. I know
it's not easy since you an FBI and dedicated to
putting bad guys away, letting Kirs go it must've been
hard
Mendoza: Yeah Peg I have to rush out, drinks with
the boys
Me: Ohw ya I'm sleeping over at Zitha's tonight
Mendoza: Okay.. Guess I'll see you tomorrow
Me: Tomorrow it is
KIRS BOSCH
The little boy was crying painfully as he was
penetrated in his anal area, for the first time. This
was the hardest thing for me to witness, dating back
from my own sexual violation experiences at the
Orphanage...
My phone vibrated, it was Tshilo. I walked out and
answered..
Me: Liefie
Tshilo: Are you busy?
Me: For you.. Never
Tshilo: So I got a space
Me: Okay
Tshilo has decided to not be involved in the flats
anymore, she's taken an interest in opening her own
boutique. She won't be personally designing the
clothes, she will have them designed for her and
then sell them.. For a starter she's going big already,
wants a runway show when her boutique opens and
I'm paying for everything..
I don't know how to feel about this, at times when a
woman starts realizing her worth. It'll be easier for
her to up and leave..
Me: How much?
Tshilo: 26k rent a month
Me: That's way too expensive
Tshilo: It's at the mall, there's good clientel here
Me: 26k a month is too much, we don't know how
well it would do. You actually might make a loss
Tshilo: Okay what's this about? 26k is nothing to you
compared to what you make
Me: I don't have money to just throw around
Tshilo: Money to just throw around? This is a loan I'll
pay you back
Me: Exactly with what money? Are you sure you will
make money from this?
Tshilo: Why are you sure that I won't make money?
Me: Find something else, something less expensive
I hung up...
ZITHA MAGASELA
The girls were happy to see me, we sat on the grass
and caught up. The youngest is 8,her name is Hope..
Sinako: We've missed you around here, where have
you been?
Me: I was away, art exhibition overseas
Fiona: Wow!
Sinako: I almost didn't recognize you, I almost said
who is this Boy coming our way
We all laughed..
Me: When they come to check up on you guys,
remember I never came here
Sinako: How come?
Me: My Father no longer owns this place so I am
forbidden
Hope: I don't like the new owner
Me: Why?
Hope: He..
She kept quiet..
Me: He what?
They kept quiet..
Hope: I'm not supposed to say anything
Me: Come here.. Come here
She got up and came to me, I got up too and we
walked away from the others. I crouched and help
her hand..
Me: You know that you can trust me right?
Hope: Yes
Me: What happened?
Hope: He.. He makes me suck on his thing like a
lollipop
I sighed and looked down..
Me: Has he tried to force himself on you?
Hope: No
Me: Okay.. I'm going to get you out of here okay?
Hope: Okay
Me: I promise
CK
King: When is Zitha meant to start?
Me: Ya we can't just start we not talking about your
typical thugs
King: A lot of girls are missing, it's like he's showing
off. Now the number of boys going missing too is
spiking up
Me: We need a team
King: I'll see how many guys I can get
Me: No.. We don't want the law, you are enough. We
don't want to alert Menzi
King: How long will it take?
Me: We still in the process
King: How sure are you that your cousin will pull this
off?
Me: I'm very sure, I have faith in her
King: Well everything you need I'm here
Me: Yeah I know
The doorbell went off..
Me: It must be Mendoza, let me go and open
I got up and went to the door. Indeed it was
Mendoza
Mendoza: Hey Man
Me: Eyy
He walked in and I closed the door..
King: Hey
Mendoza: Hey
Me: King was asking how far we are
Mendoza: Physically she's good, the training is
paying off
King: What's left?
Mendoza: Put together a team, she can't do this
alone
King: We won't be able to get them all, close the
operation
Mendoza: We not trying too, we wanna get the
leader
Me: They will keep on going and we will keep on
going too, we are the justice that the girls deserve
King: That's good.. That's very good

Zitha fetched me from home at around 16:00
We drove to her place, where she currently stays
with Ck.. I couldn't take my eyes off her as she was
driving and very much concentrating on the road..
She was rapping along with to the song that was
playing..
She turned and looked at me, I focused my eyes on
the road..
Zitha: What did I do?
Me: Huh?
Zitha: You keep on stealing glances at me
Me: You did nothing
Zitha: You okay?
Me: I'm fine.. Just happy that things are peaceful
now, Kirs is not after us, we not after him. So there's
peace, at least my baby will be born under peaceful
circumstances
She cleared her throat and fixed her bucket hat..
Me: What?
Zitha: "My baby"
Me: I thought since we broke up
Zitha: We never broke up, you just wanted a break
and I needed to get myself together
Me: Are you we ready for a baby?
Zitha: Do we have a choice?
Me: What do you know about babies?
Zitha: Nothing but we can go to classes
Me: Okay we can
She extended her hand to my tummy..
Zitha: Ohw wow it feels entirely different
Me: Still can't believe I'm pregnant
Zitha: We'll be fine
THE MENDOZA
Ck and I were out, brainstorming and having beers..
Me: How many people do we need?
Ck: 3
Me: Requirements?
Ck: Be dedicated to the job
Me: How are we going to pay these people? This is
going to be a full time job, they need to make a living
Ck: When we start with the flats, the drug cartel we
can take their money give the girls who were
involved in the sex trade and then keep the rest
Me: Will they let us in? In their funds?
Ck: You talking to a hacker here
Me: And then what happens?
Ck: We close the cartel down, confiscate their
shipment and dispose of it
Me: How do we know they won't come back?
Ck: We are about to run the biggest male trade, we
sell them
Me: Are there interested people?
Ck: on the Dark web there are a lot of Men looking
for Men, all over. The only difference is that we sell
them far away. Mexico, Bangladesh, etc
Me: That could work
Ck: This is our first stop
He passed me the paper..
Me: Hillbrow?
Ck: I will go there and check out the place, find out
who is the Somaqhuzu
Me: Soma what?
Ck: Som- never mind.. We don't want the small fish.
We want the big fish the ones heading the operation
Me: That's good, but you can't go there Kirs knows
you and them. You'll be hiding behind your
computer. We need to find the 3 missing members
of our crew Zitha and them can run ahead
Ck: Plus Zitha will be hiding her identity
Me: All of them but Zitha will be the only one with a
mask, the Punisher
Ck: Good.. Completely black outfits
Me: We need guns
Ck: I thought we weren't going to kill
Me: Only when the need arises
Ck: Then we need to take Zitha to a shooting range
Me: Don't worry about that, just check where we will
get the guns and the 3 members
Ck: Training has to be provided for all of them
collectively
Me: Yeah true
SIHLE
We stopped to get something to eat..
We were halfway there..
This was fun, this was really fun. Being able to live my
life again..
Rich: What did you do again? Job wise?
Me: I was working for Zitha, I was her assistant
Rich: What did she use to do?
Me: She ran an Art gallery
Rich: Did you enjoy it there?
Me: I did
Rich: Vhutshilo Bosch I heard she wants to start a
boutique, maybe you two can partner up
Me: I don't mind that
Rich: I'll talk to Kirs, just so you don't spend much
time at home bored
Me: I'd like that very much
Rich: I'll talk to him maybe plan another dinner since
we didn't make it to that one, so you and Vhutshilo
can officially meet and kick it off?
Me: I don't have a problem with that
Rich: She's a very nice Lady, you'll like her
Me: I hope so

We arrived at her place, it was very private. You
wouldn't even think it's an apartment.
It was situated in the same street or rather area as
restaurants, in between two restaurants was a
narrow passage that's where we went through to the
apartment.
Her car she parks it at the back, it doesn't look like
they would steal her car because there's security
there..
The apartment was two bedrooms, a kitchen,
bathroom and a lounge..
Me: It's beautiful
I looked at the paintings on the wall..
Me: I like it
We walked to her bedroom, hanging on the wall was
my portrait..
Me: Wow
Zitha: from a certain Facebook picture of yours
Me: I like it
Zitha: I'm glad you do because then I'd look like a fool
I turned around and kissed her..
Zitha: Thank you kiss, that was u-
Me: I wanna fuck
She looked at me..
Me: I've been anticipating it ever since we met up at
the restaurant for lunch...
KIRS BOSCH
I looked at her. She had marks around her neck..
Me: For how long has she been dead?
Guard: We found her this afternoon
Me: Roll up her body in a blanket and then go and
cremate her
Guard: I thought we dump the body so she can be
found and given a proper burial
Me: We are no longer that kind anymore, a lot has
changed
Guard: Yes Sir
I looked at the flat, it was the flat that Zitha and
Peggy used to occupy..
This girl her flatmate committed suicide last week,
now it's her..
PEGGY KUNENE
I've missed being sexual and right now, I needed sex
so bad..
She had cornrows upon taking off her weave, they
were neatly done..
I was on the bed, in a doggy style position. Zitha was
under me or her face was under. I wasn't completely
sitting on her face just kneeling with my legs open.
Her hands were running up from my thighs to my
butt. As she ate me out she would squeeze my ass,
shake it and spank it. She placed the tip of her tongue
around my coochie opening, she ran it up and down
then around. She went up to my clit and sucked it,
the more she did whilst shaking my ass in the
process. My hormones tookover, I got more horny.
Her slightly moaning made me more horny, to a
point were my legs started shaking that's how nice it
was..
She continued and my legs vibrated even more, I
didn't want her to stop at all..
CK
We were now driving to my hood, I know one guy
that we could recruit..
Me: Why can't we drive back to my place again?
Mendoza: Zitha is not going anywhere, we can still
talk to her about her..
Me: I didn't say she's going somewhere, why are you
keeping me away?
Mendoza: Peggy is there
Me: Ohw
Mendoza: They haven't seen each other for a while
Me: Ohw.. I see
(Silence)
Me: You okay with them dating?
Mendoza: I'll never understand the concept of two
straight women falling in love, but who am I to Judge.
I'm the same guy who killed his Partner
Me: At first I thought it was trauma but it seems very
serious between them
Mendoza: It is
PEGGY KUNENE
I am glad she took all straps with when she moved
out, or right now we would be very stranded..
We used the one that I was very uncomfortable with
at first, it's much bigger than the other too..
I was laid back, at the edge of the bed. My feet wide
open balancing on the bed at the edge of it. She had
both her hands around my waist that wasn't small
anymore. She didn't pin down hard to cause me
pain..
She inserted it, it opened me up. I felt it stretching
me up. It felt like a dick, didn't feel much like a
plastic..
She furthered in I held her arms..
Me: Ohhhhhh my word it's too thick
Zitha: Wanna change?
Me: No it's okay
She pressed it again and I bit my lower lip trying to
not scream loud, when she was halfway in she
started to pump in and out slowly. She lowered her
hand to massage my clit with her thumb. She left her
sports bra on, I noticed the fire flames tattoo around
her belly button. She had a whole entire 6 pack, her
big arms, almost broad shoulders. For a second I
forgot she was a woman because of her current
physique now or rather her upper body..
Massaging my clit and pumping at the same time
made it nice again, she was even able to push it
further in.. She pumped and pumped still massaging
my clit, until her hand moved up to cup my breast.
She leaned over to suck it whilst her hand cupped the
other one busy poking my nipple with her thumb.
She switched in between both nipples and increased
her pace of pumping.
She got back up and continued pumping, she
squeezed both my breasts with her hands..
I think the inside of the strap that was very much
strapped tightly around her, I think it some provided
stimulation to her clit because she was starting to
moan louder than she initially was and pumping
more harder...
Me: Zithaaaaa!!

I was laying on the couch, Peggy was still sleeping.
My phone rang, it was Ck..
Me: Badzala
Ck: Badzala
Me: What's good?
Ck: Mendoza and I drove up to my hood
Me: That's an interesting development
Ck: If you weren't tied down we could've taken you
along
I chuckled..
Me: Yeah I still like being in a relationship
Ck: Mom wanted to see you, she wants to see you
Me: I'll stop by there tomorrow
Ck: Still remember the route?
Me: GPS
Ck: We are about to recruit someone, we short with
3 people
Me: I'll get the other 2
Ck: Are you sure?
Me: Yes.. When you get them, they will be bootcamp
at my house
Ck: Your Father's house?
Me: Yeah
Ck: Doesn't your step mother live there?
Me: My father left me everything plus she signed a
prenup, she didn't realize that he was going to die
this soon.. So I'll give her a million she can have her
cars too and go start over
Ck: That's reasonable knowing that you don't owe
her shit
Me: Yes
Ck: It's good that the team should stay together, it
makes training easy and brainstorming
Me: Cool, I'll get the other one later on and the 3rd
one tomorrow
Ck: I'll hear from you
Me: Ayt cool
I hung up. This is going to be hard, knowing that I
can't tell Peggy about this. She can't know what I'm
doing or what I'll be doing, she might not understand
especially after what Kirs put us through. At least my
identity will be hidden, it makes it more easier that
we also not living together..

I went back inside, we were meeting up with my boy
"Ntshumayelo" but we call him "Salvation"..
He used to be the best boxer around here, when he
went to carnival city once, a long time ago for a
tournament against one of the best "Silence
Mabuza" Salvation lost. He then gave up on that
dream and turned to alcohol. The hood didn't make
it easier on him, they were mocking him. You know
how it is around here, they thrive on people's pain
and downfalls..
We explained to him the plan and waited for him to
give us an answer..
Salvation: This is a dangerous endeavor, but I am
pumped. It's a good innovation
I closed my eyes and sighed..
Me: Know you'll be staying somewhere else with the
other crew, in a very big and beautiful house. Start
up payment 5k every month, when we have made
enough money then the payment will improve
Salvation: Honestly speaking there's nothing left for
me around here.. Utshwala nje (it's alcohol only)
Me: It's a good start over, you can become the Father
that your children need. Provide for them
He nodded..
Salvation: Have a relationship with them, the
Mothers of my kids are keeping me away because I
am not working, I can't provide
Mendoza: How many do you have?
Salvation: 3.. Girls and 1 boy
Mendoza: You also creating a safe world for them
Salvation: I'm in
I tapped the table..
Me: Perfect!
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
Kirs made his way in..
I was setting the table for dinner..
Kirs: Good evening
Me: Evening
He walked up to me and tried to kiss me, I moved
away..
Kirs: Is this about the boutique?
Me: I'm fine
Kirs: If it's going to come in between us then we
should die it down
Me: What if I get someone to loan me?
Kirs: Someone?
Me: I can try to get someone to loan me
Kirs: Wtf?
Me: You don't wanna help me out, so why not find
someone who will
Kirs: Are you hearing what you saying?
Me: Yes
Kirs: You wanna get someone who will sponsor this
shit?
Me: Yes
Kirs: Someone like who? Do you have someone in
mind? Or already there's someone?
Me: Huh?
Kirs: Is the someone?
Me: No
He looked at me, he then picked up the bottle of
wine and threw it at me. I ducked..
Ever since the passing of his Grandmother and her
funeral, he hasn't been okay.. He losses her shit even
when there's no reason too..
Me: Kirs
Kirs: Bitch come here!!
He came to me and I froze, running off will just make
it worse. He grabbed me by my afro..
Me: There's no one else
I fell and he dragged me across the floor by my afro...

I woke up and it was dark. I got out of bed and put
on Zitha's t-shirt then walked out of the bedroom..
She was laying on the couch, one leg raised up the
other one was flat on the couch. She was in her
sports bra with a brief. She had her hand over her
face. The TV was on, and it was dark in the lounge..
I stood there with my arms folded and I looked at
her, admiring her. I think I was falling deeply for her..
I then went to the kitchen to check what I can
prepare..
I opened the cupboard and saw a lot of shakes. USN
muscle gain, USN hyperbolic Mass, Fast grow..
I went to the fridge, there wasn't anything but
energy drinks, milk energy chocolate bars.
I walked back to the lounge and got ontop of her, she
moved her hand and opened her eyes looking at me.
I laid my chin on her breasts and looked at her..
She placed her hand on my back then moved it down
to my butt, I wasn't wearing any underwear. I was a
bit sore, but the honest truth is that. She was the
best sex I've had, not even Luu was this good.. She
can be rough but not the I'll hate sex type of rough,
it's the one that will make you keep on coming back
for me..
Me: I wanted to prepare dinner but there wasn't
anything
Zitha: Yaa we mostly order in
Me: So what are we going to eat?
Zitha: We can order in, what do you want?
Me: Anything
Zitha: Okay order in
Me: Can I use your phone? I don't have any apps,
since you order much then you must have a lot of
them
She chuckled..
Zitha: Just say you wanna check my phone to see if
I'm not cheating
Me: That's not true
I leaned over and took it..
Me: Fingerprint
Zitha: Why don't you put in the password
Me: Yeah what is it?
Zitha: Your full name
I smiled..
I put it in and unlocked..
Me: My.. I'm even the wallpaper
Zitha: You can check and then order too
She kissed me on my forehead..
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
He cuffed me to the ceiling..
I was butt naked.. He took the whip, and started
whipping me, on my back and butt.
It's been a while since we were this sexually
gruesome, so every whip I felt it burning through my
skin..
Kirs: Who is he?
Me: There's no one
He whipped me again and again..
Kirs: Who is he?
Me: It's no one
He moved over to the front and whipped me on my
tummy..
The pain was very hard and intense to take all of it
in..
THE MENDOZA
I never knew that the hood could be this fun, the
people around here are fun. They all get along as if
like they've known you for years.
This place called chillas, you can braai meat. Braai
meat never tasted this nice..
The Ladies were extra nice, I think that was because
they wanted free drinks..
I had enough to now go home, I called in an Uber. Ck
was fucked up too, to even drive me home..
Salvation: Ehh Kanti nama Uber ayavela la? (Ubers
come here too)
Me: I'm still trying to get one
Ck: Thought it went through
Me: Naa not yet
Salvation: Why don't you just sleep here?
Ck: Yeah you can crash at my house
I put my phone away..
Me: Why not?
Salvation: Aisuka asphuzeni ke! (let's drink)
Me: Whatever that meant

The next morning, very early in the morning I had to
drive Peg back home so she could prepare for work.
She even gave me a hard time when it came to
waking her up, but she had to get to work and I had
errands to run.
I pulled over at her gate, she's been quiet throughout
the whole ride home..
I squeezed her cheek..
Me: You okay?
Peg: I'm fine
She shrugged her shoulders..
Me: What's wrong? What's the matter?
Peg: I thought we would spend time together more
time
Me: I can fetch you from work
Peg: Okay
Me: Come on.. It's going to be hard for me to leave
when you like this
Peg: Do you think I went back to work fast?
Me: I don't think so, I think you need the distraction
and a new environment every now and then
Peg: Okay
I squeezed her cheeks..
Me: Come give me a kiss
I pulled her to me and we kissed...

I couldn't sleep last night, we were here. We have
finally arrived in Gauteng. Just 2 hours away from
home..
Rich: Ready to go and eat breakfast?
Me: Uhm yes
Rich: Are you okay?
Me: Just nervous
He gently held my arm, he went and sat on the bed
and sat me ontop of him..
Rich: Whatever happens, you would've tried
Me: Yes
I wrapped my arms around his neck..
Rich: I'm proud of you
Me: Thank you (Smiling)
Rich: I love you
Me: I love you too
I hugged him..
Me: Thank you for taking this journey with me
Rich: Anytime

The next morning I was in pain, we didn't really have
sex he just whipped me all over until he was
satisfied. My body was bruised and aching..
Azelea: Are you okay Mommy?
I looked at her..
Me: I'm okay baby just a bit sick, finish your food
Azelea: Okay
I looked at her and for the first time in my life, I was
worried. She's a girl and this life we living with Kirs is
not good. The last thing I want is my Daughter being
hurt in the process.. I couldn't protect myself but I
can protect Azelea, I am a Mother..
Kirs walked in..
Kirs: Good morning beautiful Ladies
He kissed Azelea on the cheek and came to me. He
wrapped his arm around my waist I flinched..
Kirs: Don't do that, not in front of my Daughter.
Azelea should never notice if there's problems
between us
I kissed him..
Kirs: Well can I join you for breakfast?
Azelea: Yes please
He went and sat next to her..
Kirs: What are we having?
Me: Azelea guess what?
Azelea: What Mommy?
Me: Daddy has decided to start a store for you and
me, where we can sell clothes. Remember I said you
can have your own clothes in the kiddies section?
Kirs put the jug of juice back on the table..
Azelea: Yeeey!!!
Kirs laid back on the chair and gave me a side smile..
Me: Well that's because he loves us so much, say
"Thank you Daddy"
Azelea: Thank you Daddy
Kirs: You welcome my Angel
Me: Let's have breakfast then
Kirs: Yaa gotta call in and take the day off to spend
with Mommy
I looked at him..
Me: Looking forward to it
Kirs: Me too

I drove out to an Asylum.. Back in high school I had
this friend by the name of Matt, he was very smart
not in our grade, not in our class but in the whole
school..
Checking up on him a few days back he was in an
Asylum, had 5 pending cases. I don't know how he
ended up here than jail..
I don't know if I'll find him here, I'm just hoping I do..
Receptionist: We only allow family in
Me: I am sorry.. I didn't know
Receptionist: You not in the list
Me: Thing is I drove for 3 hours to come here
I looked at the log, he hasn't had visitors..
Me: I think it will be good for him, so he doesn't have
visitors
Receptionist: Well we still need permission at least
from a family member
Me: I understand but I'm already here.. Please, just
10min. It can be supervised
She looked at me..
Me: Please
Receptionist: Okay please sign here, a Nurse will
supervise the visit
Me: Thank you

The Fox..
Fox: Are you ready to go?
Azelea: Yes
Me: Bye Baby
Azelea: Bye Mommy
Me: I love you
Azelea: I love you too Mommy
Fox: We will see you later
Me: Okay
They walked out and I closed the door. I put my hand
against it and closed my eyes letting out a sigh..
I turned around and Kirs looked at me..
Kirs: Now why would you provoke me on Purpose?
Me: Just wanted to show you how important this
was to me
He walked over to me with his hands buried deep in
his pockets, he was looking down and nodding
repeatedly..
I was trapped, the door was blocking me..
He lifted his head up and looked at me, he put his
hand around my neck and then threw me down..
Me: Ahhhhh!!
Kirs: Don't make noise for me Vhutshilo
First time he called me by my full name..
He started kicking me..
Kirs: Don't ever include my Daughter in your
nonsense!!

We walked around the yard. A male Nurse was
walking behind us..
Me: I hope you still remember me
Matt: Almost didn't with that body type. You used to
be..
Me: Skinny?
Matt: Petite
(Silence)
Matt: How did you find me?
Me: When you looking for someone you truly find
them
Matt: What is it that brings you into this dark corner?
Me: Matt you not mental unstable
Matt: Of course not, I was just escaping a heavy jail
time but now I'm here voluntarily
Me: What did you do?
Matt: A few house break ins that ended in injuries
Me: How come?
Matt: Long story
Me: So why aren't you leaving if you here voluntarily
now?
Matt: It keeps me away from trouble, this place is not
actually bad
We laughed..
Matt: Who am I kidding? It's terrible in here
Me: Then why not go out?
Matt: It's complicated
Me: How about you break the law, in a good way?
He stopped, I stopped too..
He looked at the Nurse..
Matt: Tell me more
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
Crying and screaming wasn't going to help, because
Kirs takes pleasure in inflicting pain. It's just going to
make him go on and on..
Unfortunately I couldn't just be silent, you can't be
silent when you in pain. It's impossible..
When he was done with the physical part of it, he
decided to take it sexually. I was ontop on his, he was
on the couch. Better position for him to squeeze my
body and cause me more pain..
He was deep inside of me, and running his hands up
and down on me causing me more pain.. My
forehead was attached to his that's how he wanted
it to be..
I couldn't stop crying..
Me: Kirs please.. I'm sorry
He was really enjoying himself..
Me: I'm sorry (crying)
Kirs: Wh.. Why is this so important to you?
Me: I just..
He squeezed tighter..
Me: Ahhhhh (screaming)
Kirs: I didn't get that
Me: Ohh my God (crying)
Kirs: If you don't give me reasoning then we going to
be at it for a while
Me: But you hurting me
Kirs: And you pissing me off
His hands were on my waist, area where he kicked
me more and all the way up to my ribs
He was making me go up and down and it was
causing me pain..
Me: We can forget about it
Kirs: Forget about it because you have someone
else?
Me: Kirs you really hurting me (crying)
Kirs: I am now Kirs?
He seriously want me to call him "Hun", "Baby".. In
this situation?
Me: I love you and I'm sorry
Kirs: Say that again
Me: I love you
Kirs: Again
Me: I love you.. I love you.. I love you
He kissed me through my tears..

Sabatha I've known her ever since I opened my Art
Exhibition. She's a homeless lady who used to sleep
next to my shop, I offered for her to come and sleep
inside, but she didn't want to be bothersome. She's
been living on the streets of Johannesburg for a long
time now, she has good survival skills. A woman
living on the streets it's very dangerous, so for her to
survive this long it means that she's doing
something. Something right to survive...
I stood at the corner of my shop and looked at her
talking to some guy, they shook hands. When he was
about to walk away, she purposely bumped into her
and pick pocketed him. I laughed and shook my head
then walked over..
Me: Excuse me Sir
He looked at me..
Me: You dropped your wallet, and the lovely lady
picked it up
I walked him back to Sabatha..
Me: You picked up the Guy's wallet didn't you?
She looked at me.. She had the wallet in her hand..
Me: Hand the gentleman his wallet
Sabatha handed it over to him..
Guy: Thank you, I had 2k in the wallet
Me: You welcome
He walked away..
Sabatha: And then wena?
Me: Zkhiphani? (what's happening)
Sabatha: That was my hustle
Me: You know me Sabby, I'm the friend of the People
Sabatha: What are about me? Aren't you my friend?
Me: I'm your friend
Sabatha: Damn Zikalala, look at you
She pressed my arms..
Sabatha: And then? Boma sgora nyana? (Why are
you buffed)
Me: Story for another day
Sabatha: You going to open the store again?
I looked at the store..
Me: We'll see
Sabatha: I heard ukuthi bebak'covile (I heard they
kidnapped)
Me: Indaba engaka uyitholaphi? (where did you get
that)
Sabatha: I have my ways
Me: Yaa.. Bheka Sabby I need your help
Sabatha: My help? What could I possibly help you
with? Unless you homeless I can sort you out
I chuckled..
Me: Let's get something to eat

I was woken up by cold water being poured on me..
The water was ice cold..
Kirs: Wake up and sort yourself, Azelea will be back
soon
He dropped the bucket on me and then walked
away...
I was in pain and shivering very bad..

Rich: Okay let's go in
We got out of the car...

Me: So what do you think?
Sabatha: The food is delicious if you ask me, except
for the eyes. Probably wondering how can someone
like me be here
Me: You don't look dirty
Sabatha: I shoplifted these clothes
Me: Impressive.. So what do you think?
Sabatha: The food is damn nice Ntwana
I sighed..
Me: About the plan Sabatha
Sabatha: Yaa.. Eyy izinto ezi heavy, are you sure you
want me involved?
Me: I do
Sabatha: Then I'll be involved.. Yizo ntwana
Me: I have to find you at the same spot because soon
you and everyone else will be moving in together
Sabatha: Everyone else?
Me: Yeah some guys
Sabatha: Are they hot?
Me: Sabatha.. Focus, they will be your partners and
off limits
Sabatha: Can't I..
Me: No you can't even pick pocket them either..
Sabatha if you can't do this, tell me now
Sabatha: I can do it, I wanna do it
Me: That's good
SIHLE
We stood at the door and knocked. I was scared,
didn't know how they were going to receive me. Not
after what I've put them through..
I knocked again, the door was opened by my
Mother.. Her eyes widened when she saw me..
Ma: Sihle?
Me: Ma
Ma: Sihle is that you?
I nodded..
She came closer and hugged me..
Ma: Ohh Sihle
I held her tight..
Ma: Ohh Nkosi yami, ngiyabonga Jehova (thank you

It was my lunchbreak, so I called Zitha..
Took a while for her to pick up, when she did before
she could say anything. I heard another female
voice..
Zitha: Miss Memphis
Me: Hey
Zitha: Hey?
Me: What you up too?
Zitha: Just having a meal with a friend
Me: A friend?
Zitha: Yeah.. Her name is Sabatha.. Wanna say Hi?
Me: No..
Zitha: Okay
Me: Just wanted to let you know that I'm knocking
off at 18:00, if you still want to pick me up
Zitha: I'll be there
Me: Okay
Zitha: I'll see you later then.. I love you
Me: I love you too
I hung up...
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
I sat in the bathtub in pain, a lot was running through
my mind.. How do I get out of here? Where will
Azelea and I go? Will Kirs find us? What will happen
when he finds us? He's going to kill me definitely!!
The door opened, my heart skipped a beat.
He stood at the door..
Kirs: I'm hiring a Guard for you, I wanna know where
you go, I wanna know where you will be, who you
meeting up with all the time. I'm going to put a
tracker in your car
Me: Okay
Kirs: Who is he?
Me: There's no one Kirs
Kirs: I hope there is no one because if there is
someone Vhutshilo, you will understand why they
call me Gustavo
He banged the door as he walked away..
I don't know why he would think there's someone
else, he really think I would cheat on him? A whole
entire him? He would serve my head to the birds..

Ma: Here's the tea
Me: You shouldn't have Ma, I would've prepared it
Ma: It's nothing

Ma: I don't even know what to say
Rich: Just glad that I could help
Ma: So when are you coming back home?
Me: Uhm.. I have a life now, a new life with Rich
Ma: When did it happen?
Me: When he rescued me
Ma: When was that?
Me: Does it matter Ma?
Ma: No.. Of course not, I'm sorry
Me: No it's okay
Ma: I'm just happy that you good, you look good. You
seem good
Me: I'm good

I faked a smile..

awkward..
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
I lowered my robe in front of the big mirror..
I looked at my bruised body until tears started
streaming down.. This is not new, it's not his first
time doing this but it's the first time it truly hurt like
this. He always has a reason as to why he would beat
me up, this time around there wasn't any..
He showed up behind me and I fixed the robe
He stood behind me, and hugged me from the back..
His grip around my waist was tight
Kirs: Why are you doing this to us? You enjoyed being
a housewife, enjoyed going to the flats why the
change of scenario now?
Me: We can forget about it
He tightened his grip more..
Kirs: No.. We can't just forget about it, I wanna know
why
He kissed me at the back of my neck..
Me: Can we talk then, have a normal conversation
that doesn't include you beating me? Or hurting me
sexually?
Kirs: Aren't we doing it now?
Me: I just wanted to start something, something that
I'll be proud of
Kirs: Or you starting this to leave me
My heart started beating fast..
Kirs: Look at that, think I got my truth
He turned me around..
Kirs: I want us to go out tonight
Me: Where too?
Kirs: You'll see

He kissed me on the forehead..

After my meeting with Sabatha. King, Ck and myself
met up at my place to discuss the plan..
We were zoned in, discussing everything and
everything was coming together. The team was
coming together...
Ck: What skill does Sabatha have?
Me: She is good with pick pocketing, shoplifting, and
survived as a homeless woman for years
Ck: So she's quick on her feet?
Me: Yes
Ck: We can work with her
Me: Salvation?
Ck: He's a boxer
Me: The muscles we need, so we got Salvation and
Mandoza as the muscles
King: Matt?
Me: He's very smart
King: The brains, second brains
Ck: He's in a mental institution
Me: He's there as a volunteer now
Ck: How does one volunteer in a mental institution
Me: He's not crazy just went there to escape prison
time
Ck: How is that possible? I need to talk to the
psychiatrist
King: Scared of a little competition?
Ck: He spent years in a mental institution, what's the
competition?
Mendoza walked in..
King: You late
Mendoza: Well if someone had picked up someone
from work, I would've been here on time
Me: Shit!!! It's 18:00 already?
Mendoza: It's 21:00
Me: Let me get my phone from the charger
I walked to the bedroom, Mendoza followed me..
Mendoza: If you don't want Peggy finding out about
this, you gotta keep it together and not give her
reasons to suspect anything
Me: It slipped my mind okay?
Mendoza: Do you know how difficult it is to deal with
a hormonal pregnant woman?
Me: I'm going to fix it, okay?
Mendoza: You better!

We were back at the hotel, Rich was awfully quiet..
Me: Thank you for accompanying me home
Rich: You welcome
I went to him and wrapped my arms around his
neck..
Me: Maybe we can bath together
Rich: Maybe some other time
Me: What's wrong?
Rich: You didn't tell your Mom that we married
Me: It's been a while since I last saw her, showing up
for the first time and announcing that I'm married..
It would be too much for her to deal with
Rich: I understand
Me: Thank you
Rich: I would like to bath with you but.. I am tired,
this day exhausted me
Me: Ohw
He got my hands from his neck
Rich: You can go ahead and bath, I'll go downstairs to
the bar for a drink
He walked away..

Me: From the outing with your "friend"
Zitha: I'm not cheating on you
Me: Never said you were
Zitha: You insinuating it Peg
Me: I don't wanna argue with you
Zitha: I'm not arguing
Me: Then what do you want?
Zitha: You really think that I would cheat on you?
Me: What do you want?
Zitha: If I don't want to be with you anymore, I'd tell
you. Cheating is exhausting, hiding things living a
double life.. That's exhausting
Me: What do you want? I was preparing to go to bed
Zitha: I'm sorry that I didn't pick you up
Me: I understand.. You would've shown up if you
didn't have anything important
Zitha: I just lost track of time
Me: Okay

It turned out that the date wasn't actually a date, Kirs
drove me straight to the cemetery.
It was dark, scary and this place has a bad aura at
night. I was scared, I didn't want to be here... We left
Azelea with the fox, she's highly trained. I know she's
safe with her.
Me: Wh. What are we doing here?
He pulled over and I saw torches not far from the
car..
He got out first, came all around to get me out..
Me: What are we doing here?
He grabbed my arm and got me out..
Me: Kirs??
Kirs: The only way you going to leave me, is death

things I'm not supposed to hear in the passage
Ck: Better your place than here, this is a small
apartment no scream is silent
Me: Peg is not..
I thought about the last time we did it, and how loud
she was..
Me: Yaa her place is better
Ck: Just so you here tomorrow morning bright and
early at 8am
Me: I'll be here
I walked away..
King: Get all the booty you need, from hereon there's

I saw at least 3 guards, and a coffin on the ground.
Next to an openi grave. I held on to Kirs t-shirt..
Me: I'm sorry.. Let's just go home
Kirs: Open the coffin
Me: Kirs don't do this.. I'm begging you
The Guard opened it..
I wrapped my hands around him..
Me: I love you.. Let's just forget about everything and
go home.. Please, I'm sorry
Kirs: You were planning to leave me
Me: Only because I thought you were going to leave
me
Kirs: Why would I leave you?
Me: Zitha? Lately you seem to fall for the girls at the
flats.. I just wanted to secure a bag incase you leave
me so I know I have enough to start over
Kirs: I would never leave you for any woman, you my
ride or die
Me: Then let's go home.. I wanna go home
He looked over at them..
Kirs: Close the coffin
I turned and looked, they closed it. I hugged him..
Me: Let's go home

I looked at the time, Rich wasn't coming up so I went
downstairs to check up on him..
I didn't like what welcomed me at the bar. He was
sitting there with a woman. He was drinking whiskey
and she was drinking wine.
They were all chatty chatty.. I walked over to them..
Me: Hey Babe
Rich looked at me...
Rich: What are you doing down here? Thought you
would be sleeping by now
Me: I tried but couldn't sleep without you by my side
Rich: I see
I looked at the lady..
Me: Sorry for my bad manners. I'm Sihle, Sihle Ojo..
His wife
Her: Ohw I'm.. I am.. You know it doesn't matter
She got up..
Her: Uhm.. It was nice drinking with you
Rich: The feeling is mutual
She walked away, I looked at her..
I then looked at Rich..
Rich: Jealousy doesn't suit you
Me: I'm not jealous
He pointed at the chair..
Rich: Night cap?
Me: Why not
I sat on the chair..
He chuckled and shook his head..
PEGGY KUNENE
I was laying back on the bed, listening and singing
along to Beyonce "Jealous"
"Now you got me yelling
That's because I'm jealous
(if you keeping your promise, I'm keeping mine)
Ohh I'm jealous
(if you keeping your promise, I'm keeping mine)
A text came through:
" I'm at the door "
I got out of the bed, and made my way to the kitchen.
Passing my Mother in the lounge.
Ma: Where are you going?
I took off my earphones..
Me: Huh?
Ma: Where are you going?
Me: It's Zitha I'm opening the door
Ma: Okay
I put back my earphones and went to open, indeed
she was at the doorstep. We have to change the
code at the gate, she can't be just walking into the
yard..
She lifted her eyes and looked at me, the song was
on full blast..
"And I hate you for your lies and your covers
And I hate us for making good love to each other
And I love making you jealous but don't judge me
And I know that I'm being hateful but that ain't
nothing
That ain't nothing
I'm just jealous"
We looked at each other for a while without saying
anything..

[3 MONTHS LATER]
I thought Rosi would give me a hard time when I got
a hold of all my Father's estate. I gave her 1mill,she
still kept her car and everything that she owned
including her clothes and jewellery. I hope she
spends it well or she'll go broke soon.. My father had
3mill, I was left with 2mill. I'm going to use it to help
all the affected victims and the crew.
The crew lost their minds when they saw the house,
they moved in about a month ago. Intense training
was given and they showed true commitment, they
got along very well. I thought that they would have
problems, but they get along..
Ck didn't like Matt that much, because Matt is smart
too. They challenge each other very well..
We were in an open field, today they'll be learning
how to shoot. I know how to shoot, Mendoza taught
me a while back when we were still doing training.
We were wearing bullet proof vests and helmets just
incase someone misses and shoots one of us..
Sabatha is beautiful, I see now that she has cleaned
up and everything. She's really beautiful..
I respect the Men, my respect goes out to them for
respecting her since she's the only woman living with
them..
I can't really live with them, I don't want Peggy
finding out about this part of my life.
I'm literally living a double life..
Sabby: Can we keep the helmets? Wear them when
we go out to do missions?
Mendoza: What's wrong with the masks?
Sabby: Only our eyes and mouths show, imagine if
they shoot one of us in the head
Matt shot the bottle..
Matt: Bull's eye!!
Ck rolled his eyes..
Matt knows that Ck doesn't like him much, so he
irritates him..
Matt: Ck!!
Ck: What?
Matt: Wanna try?
Ck: I'd rather not, I am good with the brains
King: You have to take the training
Ck: I'm not going to the field, I'll always be behind the
desk. I'll be helping you guys behind the desk
Matt: How is that working for you?
Ck: Very well
Mendoza: Salvation, think about the target don't just
shoot
Salvation was the only one struggling..
Salvation: Iyadina yonke lento (this is annoying)
Me: Well you have to learn
Salvation: Why? I'll already be throwing punches
Me: It's for your own protection
Sabby: Zitha why don't you do it? You standing there
giving out orders
Matt: Yeah leader, show us what you got
They all looked at me..
I went and took the gun, there were 6 bottles lined
up.. I aimed and started shooting them, I didn't miss
and they all broke..
I lowered the gun and it was quiet..
Me: Any more requests cleaners?
I am the Punisher and they my cleaners...
PEGGY KUNENE
I couldn't take the pain anymore, I've been having
pains for 3 days one and downplaying it. Today the
pains were intense..
I was scared because I'm 7 months pregnant, I can't
miscarry..
Ma: Both Zitha and Mendoza their phones go
straight to voice mail, I've left them messages on
their voice mails
Me: I don't know what's happening
Ma: We have to go to the hospital Peggy okay?
Me: Okay
Ma: I'll pack a bag for you and then I will drive you

I have made a friend now, Sihle. Rich's wife.
It was good making a friend that understands what
you going through, both our Husbands are bastards.
She seems very much in love, it's always like that at
first. I'll give her a few years..
We were out having lunch, and discussing the
boutique we wanna open. Kirs ended up coming
around, that whole cemetery experience gave me a
wake up call..
Both Kirs and Rich are taking out money, half each..
Sihle: We need to have a sexy lingerie department,
not those typical underwears.
Me: I agree
Sihle: The type that will make your man go crazy
Me: We should have them in red, white, and black
Sihle: Definitely! No bum short, no full brief and they
should all be lace just different designs
Me: I'll note it down
Sihle: Jot down the makeup department
Me: You are on fire, I like it!!
I was feeling strongly and excited about this, couldn't
wait..
PEGGY KUNENE
I stopped halfway as we were going out of the house
to the car..
I held on to the kitchen counter..
Ma: You just have to walk to the car baby
Me: I wanna go to the toilet
Ma: Why?
Me: I feel like peeing, like I am going to have a
running stomach
Ma: You can't go to the toilet
Me: Why?
Ma: Peggy you might be going to labour
Me: What? I'm 7 months
Ma: Let's go Baby the Ambulance might take longer
to come
ZITHA MAGASELA
Ck: Can you give me some space
Matt: I'm just saying hacking an ATM is nothing
compared to what I've done
Ck: You were locked up in a mental institution! You
were doing house robberies, how are you better
than me?
Matt: Dude it was house robberies for the rich, I used
to target certain houses to get paintings that were
worth a fortune and jewelry. Diamond and Gold, I
was not crazy I faked being crazy to avoid jail time
Ck: Your Parents must be proud right?
I laughed and walked up to King, he was standing by
our Mercedes Benz mini bus.
My Father had it for the team, we changed the colour
to black, tinted windows too..
Me: What's up?
King: Nothing
He closed the file..
Me: How many cases are we down too?
King: 250
Me: What?
King: I didn't wanna put pressure on you guys, the
training is important
Me: I say we are ready
Sabby: You almost shot me in the foot!!
Salvation: That's what I was aiming for
Sabby: Ex- eyy.. Tough guy!! Mr FBI, which law says
you must shoot your partner?
Mendoza: What?
Sabby: He almost shot me
Salvation: She wouldn't shut up! I was struggling
concentrate
Sabby: You are an awful shooter! Don't blame me
Mendoza: Shooter?
Sabby: You know what I mean!!
Ck: Spider Man is not better than Superman!
Matt: Spider man uses a spider's web, that is absurd
Ck: How does Superman fly? It's bogus
Matt: Combination of the moon, sun, and solar
eclipse
Ck: Law of gravity??
Matt: He defies the law of gravity
King: Yeah ya'll are ready
Me: Hey!!!
Everyone went on..
Me: Borrow me your gun
King: I'm an officer of the law don't forget
He handed it to me, I cocked it against my boot..
I shot up in the sky twice, they all froze..
Matt: Zitha wtf?
Me: I wanna see more of this
I shot the gun again..
Me: And less of talking! Come on let's get to work!!
Mendoza: Let's line up again please
Sabby hit salvation at the back of his head..
Sabby: Try to shoot me again and we will be burying
you
I handed King back his gun..
King: Nice work
Me: It helps when they know I've killed 4 people

We were in the field for hours and hours, Salvation
still couldn't get it right. We not gonna give up on
him, we'll carry him through until he gets it right..
We were on the road to go get something to eat after
our long day, when I noticed that I had a voicemail. I
listened to it and was shocked to know Peggy was
rushed to the hospital a few hours ago. She's 7
months pregnant, it's too soon..
Me: Mendoza we have to stop by at the Hospital, Peg
was rushed in
Mendoza: What?
Me: We didn't have a signal in the field just got the
message now
Mendoza: What?
Me: Drop off the crew at the house and we'll go
there

KIRS BOSCH
We were out having a private lunch with our biggest
client from Singapore. He flew in a few days ago. It
was Me, Rich, and him..
We dine in a private area, just us..
Me: How are you finding the girls?
Garcia: They adjusting well
Garcia does mail order brides, the girls we sell to him.
He in turn sell them as mail order brides..
Garcia: I have 4 clients who want bridges
Me: Ages?
Garcia: 18, 19.. Legal to get married
Me: I'll check the girls we have
Garcia: When I leave, they must leave too
Rich: We will sort you out
Garcia: I trust you
I was sitting there wondering what happened to
Zitha, and Peggy. Tried searching them through
social media but only their old profiles pop up. I don't
really care but at the same time I'm curious to know
what happened to them...
ZITHA MAGASELA
We dropped off the crew at the house, then we
drove to the hospital. Ck came with us, he didn't
wanna deal with Matt..
We rushed in and went to the reception..
Me: Good day
Admin: Good day, how may I help you?
Me: We are looking for Peggy Kunene she was
brought in a few hours ago, she's pregnant
Admin: Give me a few minutes
She checked through on the PC..
Admin: Yes she came in
Mendoza: Ward?
Admin: Active status.. She's currently in surgery,
she's having a C-section
Mendoza: How long will that take?
Admin: She'll be out soon, you guys can have a seat
please
We went and sat down..
Ck: I'll get coffee
Me: I was supposed to be here for the whole birth
Mendoza: We didn't know, she was 7 months
Me: Exactly how am I to live a double life if I can't
balance it
Mendoza: You just starting
Me: I still need to cook up a believable story to
explain why I am constantly busy
Mendoza: We'll find a way
SIHLE
Vhutshilo and I drove our separate ways, I have a
chauffer..
I ended up telling my family over the phone that I'm
married, they seem to understand. I don't know if
they really understood or they just going with the
flow to still keep me in their lives..
I was on a call with my Mother..
Ma: We are having an unveiling ceremony in 2 weeks
time, will you be able to come?
Me: Yes I will
Ma: That's good thought it would be a struggle since
you live far
Me: I'll be there Ma
Ma: Sihle are you sure that you okay?
Me: Why?
Ma: You go missing, then you show up married. I'm
sorry but I'm getting bad vibes from the man that
you married too plus he's Nigerian those people are
bad news
Me: I've never taken you to indulge in discrimination
Ma: I'm just worried
Me: Rich is a good man
Ma: A good man would do things the right way, come
here and ask for your hand in marriage. Pay lobola,
do things the right way. Currently even ancestors
don't acknowledge your marriage we don't even
know he's family and where he's from
Me: I am happy! Isn't that enough? Ancestors is a
cultural norm to enslave black people. White people
don't even have these practices
Ma: You not white!!
Me: Maybe I shouldn't even come to the unveiling if
that's your attitude, I don't want my marriage to be
the topic of conversation
Ma: I didn't mean to offend you
Me: I called you because I wanted to tell you that I'm
starting my own store, but I guess you not ready to
share in those good news with me.. Bye Ma
Ma: Sihle
ZITHA MAGASELA
I was going through Sihle's Facebook, still can't
believe she's married to one of Kirs people..
Mendoza: You good?
Mendoza told me the story about her..
Mendoza: Take it from me, she looks happy. She
doesn't need saving
Me: Stockholm syndrome
Mendoza: Either way we can't save someone who
doesn't need saving
I even saw that her and Vhutshilo are tight now, she
posted a picture of them with the caption:
"Best friend, Sister, and business partner"
I chuckled..
Ck: Mendoza is right, we can't waste time and
resources on someone who doesn't need saving
Mendoza: Zitha
I looked at him..
Mendoza: We not going to do it
Me: Yeah sure
I Made a promise to Vhutshilo and I'm going to keep
it, I resent women who put other women through
what we went through. Everyday we fighting for our
lives, we fighting bastards like Kirs. We shouldn't
fight each other too as women
I looked at them...

Later on during the day after hours of waiting, we
were finally allowed to see Peg.
Mendoza had me go in first so we don't overwhelm
her.. I looked at her, her eyes were wandering
around..
Me: Hey Mommy
Her eyes were heavy when she looked at me, she still
seem drowsy and in pain. I made my way in..
Me: Look at you, you did great so I heard
I stood next to the bed and held her hand..
Peg: It's a girl
Me: Woow
She couldn't stop her tears, she broke down..
Me: Hey..
I wanted to hug her but I was scared since she had
been operated, I might cause her pain..
Peg: She's so strong
Me: Just like someone I know
I kissed her on her forehead...
Me: We got this okay?
Peg: Okay
Me: Sorry I didn't get here on time
Peg: I was mad but after seeing her, she melted my
heart. I named her Ncedo, after your cousin
Me: Wow
Peg: If she was a boy, I would've named her Ncedi jnr
Me: That's.. I'm sure Ck is going to be flattered
Peg: He's the reason why our Daughter is going to
have a normal life
Me: That's true
She slowly closed her eyes..
Me: I am about to go see her, but I wanted to see you
first.. Try to get some rest, as I go and see her
Peg: Okay
I kissed her again...
SIHLE
I was preparing dinner when Rich walked in..
Me: Just in time for dinner
Rich: You still cooking
Me: Yes but you just in time
He came and kissed me..
Rich: How was your day?
Me: It was beautiful, we found space
Rich: That's good
Me: They want a deposit upfront
Rich: How much?
I closed the pot and loosened his tie..
Me: It's a pretty big space and we like it, Tshilo said
Kirs will pay the rent and you can cover the deposit
Rich: Okay how much?
Me: You should see the designs for our lingerie, it's
beautiful
He chuckled..
Rich: How much?
Me: 25k
Rich: Which account do I send it too?
Me: I'll give you
Rich: I'll transfer it after taking a shower
Me: Just like that?
Rich: You wanted me to complain first?
Me: Normal people do
Rich: Normal people are broke
He kissed my hand..
Me: Thank you
Rich: Anything for you
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
I fixed my bra and knocked at the door, he was busy
in his study..
Kirs: Come in
I waited there for him to look at me..
He did..
Kirs: Ohhhhhh please come in
I made my way in..
Me: You seem busy we can talk later
Kirs: No please.. Make yourself comfortable
I sat on the chair across him and folded my legs..
Kirs: So uhm.. What can I do for you?
Me: Sihle and I went and to check out the place and
we like it
He leaned back on his chair..
Kirs: Okay?
Me: Sihle said Rich will pay the deposit, it's 25k. We
decided for you to pay the rent month end
Kirs: Ohw I'm going to need a lot of convincing
I got up and made his way to him. He pulled the chair
back, I got in front of him and knelt down.. I moved
my hands from his thighs all the way up and
unbuckled his belt...
ZITHA MAGASELA
She was in an incubator, she was a bit tiny. I was
standing by the glass and looking at her.
Nurse: She's one strong premature
Me: Is she going to be okay?
Nurse: She's going to be fine
(Silence)
Nurse: You can come in and hold her a little
Me: I don't wanna, she's tiny
Nurse: Not actually hold her, you can put your hands
in there and hold her
Me: Okay
We walked in..
I put my hands in, the thing was built in through the
incubator. The false hands hands had gloves too..
Nurse: You can try to pick her up, slowly
I tried to pick her up, she still had her eyes closed..
Me: Wow feels like I will break her
She chuckled..
Nurse: I'll give you a moment, just be careful
Me: I will
The Nurse walked out, I looked at Ncedo. Now I have
a reason to live, a reason to do this and make the
world a better place for her...
THE MENDOZA
I looked at them..
Me: I don't get it
Ma: I think it's a nice name
Me: I also helped in rescuing the girls
Ck: How do we convert your name to what it is, and
make it a girl's name?
Me: Mercedes
Ck: Mendoza, Mercedes.. They are not even close
Me: Melody
Ma: Melody, I like it maybe it can be her second
name
Mendoza: Now we talking
Ck: I'm.. She's going to do great, with my name..
She's going to get straight As. I'll also make sure of it
Me: It's not even your name, quit tripping
I looked at my Mother, she was dozing..
Me: Should I take you home?
She looked at me..
Ma: No I have to be here for Peggy and Ndo
Me: What use are you to them tired? You've been
here almost for the whole day
Ma: I'm fine
Me: I'm taking you home, Zitha will stay
Ma: Fine let me go say goodbye
Me: I will text Zitha to tell Peg, They'll see you
tomorrow
Ma: Okay let's go
Ck: I'm also going, I'm tired and hungry
Me: Yeah let's bounce
ZITHA MAGASELA
After seeing her I went back to Peggy. She was trying
to sleep but I could see that she was in pain. She
couldn't even move without causing herself pain..
Me: Should I call the Nurse?
Peg: No I'll be fine, the amaesthesia has worn off
Me: But you in pain
Peg: I'll be okay
I pulled the chair and sat down, holding her hand....
Me: I want you and Ndo to come live with me
Peg: What about CK?
Me: He's going to go and live with the cr-.. He has a
place
Peg: Are you sure?
Me: Yes.. I want you guys with me
Peg: I'd like that
Me: Plus I wanna talk to you about something, when
you are okay
Peg: Okay
She closed her eyes again..

Ndo sleeps half of the time, you breast feed her and
change her nappy then she's sleeping. She's not a
problematic baby to be honest..
I was rocking her to sleep because I was tired myself
and wanted her to sleep so I could sleep too..
Me: "The head of the herd was calling, far, far, far
away.. Nelly the Elephant packed her trunk and said
goodbye to the circus. Off she went trumpety
trump.. Trump, trump, trump"
I looked at her and she was fast asleep on my
shoulder. I gently put her in the crib, the one in our
bedroom.. My Mother was preparing dinner in the
kitchen, I gently placed her down. I fixed her pacifier
and looked at her, she was sleeping like she was
never going to wake up anytime soon..
I took my phone and took a video of her, then sent
to Zitha. She would wanna know that we okay.. I am
proud of her and I really don't want her being
distracted on her job because of us...
ZITHA MAGASELA
We don't enter my house through the main gate,
since Salvation and his "Girlfriend" Sabby are holding
the facade of being the couple that lives here. We
enter the house through a secret channel to our
place of gathering.. We were all seated as Ck and
King presented our first case..
Ck: The first picture is of a girl known as "Mbali"
King: Mbali went missing two weeks ago, her Mother
reported her missing after 24 hours
Ck: We followed the leads and everything given, it
led us to a house in Pretoria West. The house is
owned by Nigerian guys they deal drugs there and
lock up girls. Feed them drugs, make them strip and
have sex with them
King: Make no mistake the Girls are held against their
Will, they are drugged so much that they don't know
what's happening
Ck: A video surfaced of the girls a week ago, those
who have Twitter I'm sure they saw. It was trending.
The girls were naked, high, dancing and having sex
with the guys
King: We going there to rescue the girls and put the
culprits behind bars
Me: These people bribe to get out of jail
Sabby: Not forgetting how our justice system is
corrupt
Ck: I was hoping you would raise that up.. I took it
upon myself to do a background on the judge that
handles their cases most of the time, they all get one
judge. My PI skills came in handy
King: Ck found something dirty on the judge of which
we can use against him if he doesn't give them 15-20
years
Salvation: What happened to "We turning the
tables"
Sabby: "Do unto others"
King: We punish fairly these ones don't traffick the
girls they just feed them drugs, rape them etc
Ck: In so doing they deserve imprisonment of at least
15-20 years
King: On your tables are files.. The ring leader his
name is Prince. It's not only Nigerians, it's mixed with
South African Men
Ck: Familiarize yourselves with the culprits
King: Our main priority is to recover all the girls, get
them out of there safely
Ck: No casualties too we need the culprits alive
King: Our key word is "Melody"
I looked at him..
King: I reckon that we were celebrating a little Angel
coming home today, thought we could include her
arrival in our first case. I don't know how you guys
are going to fit the name "Melody" in a sentence. I'll
be parked close by with 3 squad cars to comprehend
the culprits and send them where they belong. We'll
see how you going to work that in a sentence
I smiled..
Ck: Sabby and Zitha you'll be dressed formal acting
like a lost couple who came back from a very
important function and wanting directions
Matt: Why Zitha?
King: She's the leader, we gotta see how she works
A woman walked in holding a red dress and a black
flashy suit
Her: Is our couple ready? Makeup will take forever
Sabby and I looked at each other...
KIRS BOSCH
I sat in my office looking at the baby picture.
There's a possibility the baby is mine, there's a
possibility it's Fabiano's child. When I recorded Zitha
and Peg that day, when I stopped the recording. I
had sex with them, Peg more..
I need to get the child and raise it as my own. Can't
let my baby be raised by a mental disturbed woman.
I don't think Peggy's sanity is intact especially not
after what happened.
She might harm her because of the trauma she went
through, I'm surprised she didn't abort her. She
might hate the baby because of the trauma she went
through, the baby will be a constant reminder of
what she went through.. The baby is not safe..
ZITHA MAGASELA
The woman told me I can't have a weave so she cut
my hair into a bob cut, she was hair drying it as I
watched the video of Ndo sleeping and sucking on
her pacifier that Peggy had sent me..
I couldn't get enough of her and how adorable she is,
and how much I love her.
I would literally go back to that unstable state and kill
any guy that will dare try to hurt her.. I even feel
sorry for her boyfriend, he will have to convince me
that he's worthy to date my baby girl..
If I could have it, she'll start dating at 30. That's why
I'll make sure she'll have everything, love, material
things before she goes out looking for those things
outside..
Mendoza walked in..
Mendoza: Did you see the video of Melody that Peg
took
Me: I'm watching it right now
Mendoza: She's adorable
Me: Wait until she grows up and has a boyfriend
Mendoza: She'll have a boyfriend?
Me: I don't think so
Lady: Guys she's a girl she's going to grow up and fall
in love
Mendoza: The boy will have to go through Zitha,
myself and the whole crew first
Me: We should hold down his head underwater for
at least 5min
Mendoza: If he can survive that he can date her
Me: Or put him in the front on every mission
Mendoza: Then he gets shot and dies
Me: Our hands are clean
Lady: That's if you guys wanna go through your lives
with her hating her
Sabby walked in.. The red dress looked beautiful on
her. Long slit on her right thigh all the way down to
her foot, red heels
Sabby: I'm ready for the makeup and hair
Mendoza: Wow
Sabby went and sat down on the small couch..
Sabby: Ck ran me through our script
Me: I'll read it when I'm done here
The Mendoza couldn't keep his eyes off her.

ZITHA MAGASELA
It was a nerve wrecking situation, yes we've put in all
the work. This was our first case and it counted the
most. Sabby was looking all kinds of beautiful. The
makeup, the wig, the dress the bag.. The red lipstick..
I was wearing a suit, the stylist cut my hair into a bob
cut. I had the tie loosened..
In the car on our way to our destination I called Peg..
She took longer to pick up, and it was worrying me.
Almost called the Chinese shop so they can go and
check, she picked up..
Peg: Babe
Me: Where have you been?
Peg: I was sleeping
I sighed..
Me: Was checking up on you guys
Peg: We are fine how are you?
Me: We good just driving to the destination
Peg: Okay
Me: How is Ndo?
Peg: Ma is bathing her
Me: I'll see you guys later then
Peg: Okay Babe
Me: I love you
Peg: I love you too
CK
I picked up the phone..
Me: Roger
Roger: I am flying back tomorrow morning
Me: How did it go?
Roger: He bought it but the baby is not safe
Me: Meaning?
Roger: He's convinced the baby might be his
Me: TF?
Roger: He doesn't know anything about Zitha
Me: That's better let's keep it that way
Roger: Don't worry about it I got you
Me: Thank you so much I really appreciate it
Roger: You welcome
ZITHA MAGASELA
Matt: This is it guys, are you ready?
I looked at Sabby..
Me: We ready
The car parked on the other side of the street, next
to the house. There were 3 guys sitting by the gate
just playing cards. I think they were guarding the
place. They were buffed, built more than the guards
back in the flats..
Mendoza: Guys if you don't feel up to it
Me: We fine
I looked at Sabby..
Me: Are you ready?
She nodded..
We got out of the car, she was holding the moet
champagne bottle, I was holding a glass.. Pretended
to be a drunk couple that was lost..
We kept on staggering, Sabby was singing and we
made our way to the gate. My tie was loose, shirt not
tucked in well...
We stood at the gate..
Sabby: Hello!! Sorry?
They looked at us, all 3 walked to the gate as we
opened it..
Me: I'm sorry guys never mind my fiancé she's a bit
drunk
Guy1: What do you want?
Me: We lost.. We looking for..
Sabby: A friend's place
Guy2: God ask somewhere else, not here
Sabby: Hey!! Don't be rude
Me: We just asking around
Guy2: I said go ask somewhere else
Guy3: Please leave the premises
Me: Premises? It's a house!! (laughing)
Guy1: Please leave
He grabbed Sabby's arm in a rough way..
Sabby: Hey!!
Me: Don't touch her!!
Guy1: I said leave!!
Sabby hit him on the head with the bottle, he
staggered back with his hands on his bald head..
The other one came, I poured the champagne from
the glass on his face..
Guy2: What the fuck?
The 3rd one came, Sabby hit her with the bottle too
and it broke on him..
The one that I poured the champagne on his face,
wiped his face with his t-shirt then he walked up to
me and placed his hands on my neck choking me..
I tried to get them off, he was strong..
He pushed me back and pinned me to the pillar..
Sabby: Zee!!
She tried to come to us, but one of guys pulled her
wig, it came off and it fell down.
Sabby turned and punched him on the neck.
He struggled to breath for a while..
He really had a tight grip around my neck, I was
struggling to breath. I couldn't attack him back, so I
snuck my hands in between his. Then forcefully
opened them up until he lost thr grip around my
neck. He lowered his hands, I head butted him
before he could act.
He took a few steps back I punched him repeatedly
giving him no chance to attack back until he fell..
I looked at Sabby, one guy was down. The other one
was still standing. Sabby lifted up her dress, she
turned around and swung her leg her heel landed on
his face. He fell..
Me: Woow where did that come from?
Sabby: Pretty cool right?
Me: Very
The crew came in, in their skii masks and black
outfits..
Mendoza: You guys good?
Me: Yeah
Mendoza: Go in the car and change
We walked back to the car...
KIRS BOSCH
Tshilo: You wanted to talk to me?
Me: Yes
Tshilo: Okay
Me: Remember the girl that was held up with Zitha?
Tshilo: Peggy?
Me: She gave birth, there's a possibility the baby is
mine
Tshilo: Ohw
Me: The baby will come live with us soon
Tshilo: Why?
Me: I don't think that Peggy won't manage to raise
the baby, I want us to raise her
Tshilo: I don't know how I should feel about this
Me: Take your time
Tshilo: Okay
She walked out..
ZITHA MAGASELA
We raided the house, I was in my all black outfit with
my mask. I'm the only one with a different mask, it
just covers my mouth and nose..I was wearing a
beanie hat..
We broke down the door and made our way in, it was
loud. The music was on blast probably the reason
they couldn't hear the commotion outside.
We moved to the lounge, it was 4 girls and 4 guys.
Two of the girls were butt naked, the other one was
only left with her jeans. The other one was high
sitting on the floor..
Matt and Mendoza pointed the guns at the guys..
Matt: The party is over!!
They looked at us..
Me: Where is Prince?
Matt: Who is Prince amongst you?
They kept quiet and looked at us..
Me: Sabby take the girls to the car, Salvation help her
KING
We were listening through, the other crew were
wired..
Me: Come on say the word
Police1: Detective
Me: Yes?
Police 1: We have a problem
Me: What kind of problem?
Police 1: Two cars just pulled up at the house, should
we go in?
Me: No.. We have to wait for the safe word, come on
say the safe word

This was not what we expected, company showing
up...
The guys were held up with guns, but somehow they
had this smack on their faces, pride and confidence
as if like a bullet didn't hold their lives..
Guy1: You wanted Prince right? He's here
Me: Matt and Salvation go to the door
They looked at me..
Me: Go now!!
They went walked to the door..
Sabby was in the car with the guys he had to stay
there..
Mendoza and I still had our guns held at them...
Guy1: You wanted Prince right? So there you go.. You
have Prince!!
We heard a commotion at the kitchen for a while, we
couldn't leave these ones to go check. We didn't
know how many they were, and right now we can't
risk anything but to call it in..
Me: This whole shit, has been like a melody to me!!
SIHLE
I opened the door, she was sleeping..
Rich brought home a victim, a Young woman who
could be in her mid 20s. She will be taken to
whatever destination that Kirs wants..
I was feeling not so good about this, it reminded me
of the time when I was being held captive. The first
night I was violated when I was being held captive..
Am I strong enough? Strong to get through this?
Strong to continue being with my husband even
when I know what he gets up too??
ZITHA MAGASELA
Prince: I'll be back in a few days
King: I wouldn't bet on it
One of the Police officers led him out to the police
van..
King looked around..
King: You guys did good, for your first case. I'm very
impressed
Me: So what happens now?
King: We make sure that they don't see the sun for a
while
Me: And the girls?
King: They will be returned back home
Me: That's all I wanna know
King: You guys can go and celebrate or something,
you've earned it
He walked out....
CK
Roger is a very good friend of mine, when he told me
about Kirs hiring him. I told him everything that
happened to the girls and he was on our side. The
reason why Kirs was given the information about
Peg, the baby. Was to make sure that Kirs doesn't
suspect anything because if he did then Roger would
be history now..
I don't wanna tell Zitha about this, she'll freak out
and we need her head straight all the time..
My phone rang, they've been quiet for hours.
Me: Cuz
Zitha: Cuz
Me: Did you guys pull it off?
Zitha: We did
I closed my eyes in relief..
Zitha: Culprits have been taken into custody and the
girls will be taken back to their homes
Me: Congratulations you guys just won the first case
Zitha: I think we can do this
Me: We are already doing it
PEGGY KUNENE
I slept so much that I had no sleep. I looked at the
time, it was just after 9 at night..
My phone rang, it was Zitha..
Me: Babe
Zitha: Miss Memphis
Me: Are you okay?
Zitha: I am, are you guys okay?
Me: We are just not very much sleepy
Zitha: Where is Ndo?
Me: Ndo is sleeping
Zitha: I'll be home soon
Me: Okay see you then?
Zitha: Okay bye
Me: Bye
SIHLE
I tried sleeping but I couldn't, the girl was sobbing. I
turned to my side, Rich was sleeping. I got out of bed
and went to the bedroom. She was held in the same
bedroom I was held in, chain around her ankle..
I opened the door, she looked at me..
Me: Hi
She kept quiet..
Me: Are you okay?
Her: How can you let him hold me here?
Me: I'm sorry for what's happening to you
Her: I don't need you to be sorry, I need you to help
me get out of here. So I could go back home
Me: I can't do that
Her: You are a heartless woman to even fall in love
with such a ruthless man
Me: You don't know me
Her: I don't need to know you, what I know about
you is what I'm already seeing and you are an
abomination to women
Me: Shut up!!
Her: Do you know what they going to do to me? They
going to sell me. I heard them talking can you live
with that in your conscience knowing you could've
helped but you chose not too? I'm someone's
Daughter, someone's sister
Me: I said shut up!! Shut up!!!! (shouting)
She freaked out and kept quiet..
Me: Just shut up!!!
ZITHA MAGASELA
We drove back to our town.. We were proud of
ourselves and I was more proud of the team I've put
together. Especially Sabby, she did good..
Sabby: I think we should go celebrate
Matt: I agree
Sabby: Just a few drinks
Matt: We've nailed our first case
Sabby: No casualties
Me: A clean job
Salvation: Mendoza drive us straight to the hood, to
the chillas place so we could celebrate
Sabby: Let's go!!
SIHLE
I was sitting in the lounge, in total darkness. Rocking
myself back and forth. Thinking about what was
happening to me when I first got here..
What can I do? I can't do anything.. I have to let the
girl be taken, sold and done whatever to her..

[1 MONTH LATER]
I walked over to their side and opened the door, I
carefully took Ndo from Peggy.
She was so adorable, I couldn't get enough of her and
I was loving her each day. She makes everyday worth
living, I didn't even know it was possible to love such
a little human being this much..
She definitely took after her after, Fabiano's genes
were dominant. People are definitely going to ask us
how we got a white baby..
Me: Will you be able to get out?
Peggy: I'm good baby
She was better now, a month ago I didn't think she
was going to survive. She was in a lot of pain..
She took the bags and I locked the car..
Me: Welcome home
Peggy: Can't wait to rest
We made our way to the apartment, I opened the
door..
Peg: You don't lock?
Me: Not today
Voices: Welcome home!!!
They were so loud that they freaked out Ndo, she
opened her eyes and cried..
Me: Ya'll are loud
Sabby: Ohh my word, is that her?
Me: Yes.. This is Ncedo Melody Kunene
Sabby: Can I hold her?
Me: Becareful
Sabby: Look at her, she doesn't even look like a
premature
Peg: She's a fighter and a survivor
I couldn't hold off the lie and I certainly won't be able
to live a double life, so I lied to Peg and told her that
we running our own company that helps find missing
kids. I assured her that we don't do nothing illegal,
we just search for the missing kids and alert
authorities to take over..
With Ndo in the picture I knew she was going to be
okay with it, she understood what we doing and
she's very supportive of it..
Peg: "Welcome home Ncedo and Mommy", this is
beautiful you guys shouldn't have
Sabby: I did the pink cupcakes solo
Peg took one..
Peg: They even beautiful to eat
Me: That loud mouth is Sabby, that is Matt, and that
is Salvation. And of course you know your Mother
She laughed and hit me on the chest..
Peg: Stop it
Me: Ck and Mendoza are at the office they'll come
tomorrow.. Guys this is Peggy my girlfriend and
that's our Daughter
Matt: Finally good to meet you
Peg: You guys are doing a remarkable thing, finding
missing kids. You helping a lot, find comfort that's a
good name for your company though it doesn't go
with what you guys do
Sabby laughed..
Sabby: Missing kids, find comfort.. Basically we are
the world we are the children, what's next? We build
them an amusement park "Finding Netherland or
neverland"
Peg: Huh?
I gave Sabby a serious look..
Me: It's meant to be a joke
Peg: I don't understand it
Me: She didn't tell it right
I held Peg's hand..
Me: Come I wanna show you something
We walked to the guest room, I have turned it into a
nursery..
Peg: Woow
Me: This will be her room
Peg: It's beautiful, you did this?
Me: Yeah with the help of Ck and Mendoza
Peg: It's beautiful
Me: She'll be sleeping here when she's a few months
old, I have another crib next to our bed in our
bedroom
She walked over to check the framed pictures on the
wall..
Peg: Ohhhhhh look at this one, when she was still in
the incubator
Me: She's a fighter and a survivor like her Mother
Peg: I love it
Ck had painted the words "NCENDO M KUNENE" on
the wall..
Peg: Ck painted this right?
Me: You can by him not writing the word "Melody"
in full
She laughed whilst wiping her tears..
Peg: I love it
Me: Now that you crying I don't know if I should
show you the last surprise
Peg: There's more?
Me: Just one
I was wearing a short sleeved t-shirt, I rolled up the
sleeve. There's a picture I took a while back when she
was breastfeeding at the hospital, and I had the
picture tattooed on my shoulder..
Peg: Zitha!
Me: No matter what happens in the field, this will
remind me that I have a reason to come back home
Tears couldn't stop streaming down from her
Peg: Ncedo is blessed to have so much love, she's a
blessed baby
I walked up to her.. I hugged her..
Me: She's a blessing that we needed
Peg: I love you so much
Me: I love you too, you guys did great and I will never
let anything happen to her
KIRS BOSCH
I heard a knock at the door..
Me: Come in
The PI walked in..
Him: Mr Bosch
Me: How was your flight?
Him: It was good
Me: Thank you for making the trip
Him: You paid me a lot of money
Me: So what should I know?
He handed me the envelope..
PI: So Peggy was pregnant, gave birth a month ago
I looked at him..
PI: I was able to get a picture of the baby at the
hospital in an incubator
I opened the envelope and took the picture out..
PI: The baby is a premature born at 7 months, it's a
baby girl
I looked at the picture..
Me: There's a possibility the baby could be mine or
Fabiano's.. If it's Fabiano's he would want me to raise
her
I looked at him..
Me: Where are they?
PI: I am not sure
Me: The baby is still a small tiny thing we can't take
her now she still needs her Mother
PI: That picture was a month ago
Me: Still.. What about Zitha?
PI: That one is a ghost.. Can't find her
Me: Her Father's house?
PI: I went there, asked neighbours. They saying MG's
illigimate Son lives there with his girlfriend, Salvation
or something
Me: Useless, no interest to us.. He might not even
know what his Father was about
PI: He probably inherited everything, maybe Zitha
didn't want the inheritance
Me: True.. Well he's useless
PI: Wherever she is, she's hiding very well.. I can't get
anything on her nor about her, first case I couldn't
nail
Me: No it's okay, you've produced good results.. The
baby
PI: Thank you Mr Bosch
ZITHA MAGASELA
Peg: I really thought Ndo and I we'll just get home
and sleep, I didn't expect this.. Thank you guys
The beepers went off..
Sabby: Now?
Matt: It's Ck.. We have our first case, we have to go
to the office
I looked at Peg..
Peg: Go
Me: I can miss this one
Peg: No.. Go we'll be fine
Me: If a-
Peg: If anything happens I just press the panic
button, or call you, Ck and my Brother
Me: Or Detective King, his contacts are on the fridge
next to the contacts you can call if you want
something delivered to you. The Chinese restaurant
downstairs they holding guard, you can call them if
you want anything
Peg: I got it now go!
Me: If Ndo coughs or something you call me
Peg: We are fine plus Mom is here too
I looked at her Mother..
Miss K: I got the girls.. Go
Me: Okay I'll be home later on
She walked to me and grabbed on my t-shirt.
Peg: I wanna rest, I'm tired. I didn't wanna say it, so I
need you guys to go so I can rest
Me: Let me get my bag pack
Peg: I'm very proud of you
Me: I know
I kissed her..

ZITHA MAGASELA
We arrived at this place and it looked familiar, but
has changed here and there..
This is where Ck is from, his hood. Where my
Mother's twin lives. It was bad being here and not
going to see her. My mother passed on before I could
learn the word "Mama". Seeing her mirror image,
will make me emotional..
Sabby: This is my kind of vibe
Matt: I don't belong
Me: You not racist are you?
Matt: No.. I hope they ain't too
Me: You'll survive
Sabby: We not going to kill nor attack anyone right?
Me: No, we just here to chill and drink
Sabby: And eat too, I'll get the food
PEGGY KUNENE
I sat next to my Mom on the couch..
Me: Thank you for staying over
Ma: If Zitha is not back, that means your Brother is
not back too
Me: I have never been this tired too
Ma: You can get all the rest you need whilst Ndo is
sleeping too
Me: That's a good idea
SABATHA (SABBY)
I went to order in at the kitchen. Just a full meal for
the crew.. Rolls, salad, and grilled chicken..
Mendoza: Hey
Me: Hey
Mendoza: Was checking if you alright
Me: I'm good
Mendoza: You really did well out there
Me: Thank you, all the training has payed off
Mendoza: It seems so
(Silence)
Mendoza: Do you drink coffee?
Me: Yes I do
Mendoza: Mind if we go grab a cup?
I looked at him..
Me: Are you asking me out on a date?
Mendoza: I am asking you out for coffee
Me: Yeah I think that will be cool
Mendoza: Tomorrow morning?
Me: Tomorrow morning it is
SIHLE
Rich showed up in the living room.. He switched on
the light and crouched next to the couch. He held my
hand..
Rich: What's wrong with you?
Me: Nothing
Rich: People don't sit in a dark room and cry
Me: I thought I was the last one
Rich: You thought you were the last what?
Me: The last girl you could ever do that too
Rich: Do we have a problem here?
Me: I am uncomfortable with the girl being here,
crying and seems terrified
Rich: I am not sleeping with her
Me: That's not the point!
Rich: Then what is the point?
Me: What's happening, it's wrong and I don't like it
Rich: You knew what I was about
Me: It's not like I was with you out of my own free
will, you forced me into one
He looked at me..
Rich: Good night Sihle
He got up..
Me: Rich
He walked back to the bedroom..
ZITHA MAGASELA
I looked at Sihle's pictures..
Me: Guys excuse me
I walked out and called Ck..
Ck: Talk to me
Me: Hey I need a favour
Ck: I'm listening
Me: I need you to search numbers for me, I need
someone's phone numbers
Ck: Who?
Me: Sihle
Ck: Rich's wife?
Me: Yes
Ck: Why?
Me: Will you be able to do it?
Ck: I can try
Me: Thank you
Ck: Cool
Me: Ohw uhm.. Let's keep this one between us, I
don't want the crew knowing
Ck: I got you
I hung up...
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
I gently closed the door.. Azelea was still sleeping..
I walked over to the bedroom, Kirs was laying there..
I took off my gown, and went to lie next to him..
Me: Good night
Kirs: Have you thought about what I said to you?
Me: I have but I am not sure if it'll be appropriate for
me to say
Kirs: I value your opinion
Me: The baby.. Are you sure the baby is yours?
Kirs: I am not sure that's why I need to make sure
Me: Can't we just leave her with her Mother?
Kirs: Peggy is unstable
Me: How sure are you?
He turned and looked at me..
Kirs: Name one girl from the flats that's mental stable
Me: I don't think I am all for this
Kirs: You don't have a choice, you will raise the baby
when the time comes
Me: Can I sleep now?
Kirs: Good night
SIHLE
I went to the bedroom, the guest room with a glass
of juice and a bowl of fruit salad..
She was still finding it hard to adjust..
Me: I brought you something to eat
Her: My life hangs in the balance of failure and you
thinking about food? I don't want food
Me: I don't know why you being like this to me when
I am not the one who brought you here
Her: Then do the right thing!
Me: You don't know the people involved, they very
dangerous
Her: Then leave me alone, don't bribe me with food
to cleanse your conscience
Me: Fine.. Whatever, suit yourself
SABATHA (SABBY)
Me: You are a lucky soul
Mendoza: Not really.. There's nothing special about
growing up in the states
Me: What are you talking about? There's all kinds of
special growing up there
Mendoza: You sound smart, you look smart. Why did
you choose the streets?
I glanced down at my drink..
Mendoza: If it was inappropriate for me to ask, you
don't have to answer. I'm sorry
Me: No it's okay.. Let's just say life hasn't been easy
for me, but I'll sure tell you some other time
Mendoza: Maybe over coffee?
I laughed..
Me: Yeah maybe
ZITHA MAGASELA
I looked at Salvation looking at Sabby and The
Mendoza who were sitting alone, away from us..
Me: Sal
He looked at me..
Me: uRight mfethu?
Sal: Ngi ngrand, entlek sivaya nini? (when are we
going)
Me: Yaa we need to bounce now, it's late
Sal: I'll be in the car
He got up and walked out..
Matt: Is this going to affect the crew?
Me: I don't know.. I really don't know
.

VHUTSHILO BOSCH
I love my husband but now it seems like ever since
the Zitha and Peggy situation, he hasn't been
himself. To top it off, his Grandmother's death
messed him up more.. Since he's fully convinced that
Peggy's baby is his, that means now Peggy might take
my place. What's the point of fighting for someone
who constantly brings you nothing but pain? I don't
think he cares for me as much as he used to do or
loves me that much..
I checked my balance, I had 50k. If I can get two
tickets to the UK and go there seeking refuge they
might welcome us in. I don't know, I'm confused but
my Daughter and I we have to leave this place before
it's too late.
There's no authority that can help us, there's no one
that can help me not when my husband is this much
influential..
SIHLE
This morning, Rich had taken the girl to wherever she
was meant to go..
I hardly slept last night, a lot what running through
my mind..
Beauty: Sihle you need to let this go
Me: My husband kept a girl in here overnight, my
husband is selling innocent girls and I'm supposed to
be okay with it?
Beauty: You knew what he was about, why are you
growing a conscience now?
Me: I might as well just leave here and go back home
whilst I still have the freedom
She laughed..
Beauty: There's no getting out of here, if you leave
him you'll be considered an enemy and trust me you
won't like what's going to be done to you
I sighed..
Beauty: Just turn a blind eye, you got lucky don't
mess this up
ZITHA MAGASELA
I couldn't get a good sleep anymore, I heard Ndo
crying. I tried to ignore but she was crying more and
more..
I got up from the bed and made my way to the
bathroom, Peggy was bathing..
Me: What's happening?
Peggy: She doesn't like bathing that much
I took her little towel, she brought her over to me..
Peggy: We woke you up?
Me: No I was already up
She took her from me..
Peggy: She'll be fine now
I followed them to the Nursery..
Me: Here I'll do it
Peggy: Okay let's see
Me: I'm supposed to wipe her right?
Peggy: Ohw Zitha
Me: No I can do this
Peggy: Okay, I'll get myself a cup of coffee in the
meantime
Me: Okay
I looked at Ndo and I don't what I'll do if something
could happen to her. Looking at her she reminded
me of the children at the orphanage. They need
rescuing, the crew seems to be ready. I think now it's
time to go after the Gilligan Brothers, starting with
the orphanages. Most children there have no homes
and family to go too, the plan was to build a secure
place for all the abused women and children. The
flats seem like a good place to achieve that, it's a
bigger space.. It can accommodate a lot of women
and children..
There's still a lot to do, hence why I need to talk to
Mendoza, Ck, and King. We going to need to provide
for them, we don't have enough money as yet.. I
need to have a meeting with them, it's time we go
after the big sharks use their money to compensate
these women and then make them work so the
money they make, can go to these women so they
can start afresh and build what's left of their lives.
I'm sure most had dreams, dreams of going to school
studying towards their dream jobs, I'm sure some
are skilled at something. This is the whole point of
the Punisher and his crew, to restore what was lost
and make the men behind this pay.
Maybe we can't get to all of them, but we'll always
be there to get to them and get to a few. If we defeat
Kirs, then I'll know that we worked..
I looked at the nappy..
Me: Babe?? Peg!
She showed up..
Me: I think I'm going to need help here
She chuckled..
Me: Just show me oncs and I'll do it
Peg: Okay, let me show you
KIRS BOSCH
I heard that one of our houses at Pretoria west has
been vaded..
Those guys were drug dealers, small time drug
dealers though..
Rich: It was said that a group of people wearing ski
masks raided the place
Me: The hell?
Rich: It's probably wanna be thugs
Me: You think?
Rich: Yes probably wanted to steal the drugs
Me: The drugs were uprehanded, culprits arrested so
says Menzi
Rich: We shouldn't worry they'll be out soon,
remember we have a judge on our pay roll
Me: We'll see
MATT
I looked at him hugging his Son and bidding him
farewell. Then he watched him getting inside the
school premises..
I was standing by his car, as he made his way. He
looked around and then looked at me...
Judge: Can I help you?
Me: Judge Cotzee?
Judge: Who wants to know?
Me: Here Sir
I handed him the envelope..
He took it and looked at me..
Me: Look at the pictures
He took out the pictures and looked at them..
Judge: I'm sorry, I don't understand
Me: Those are pictures of the suspects that were
arrested, we know that you are on their pay roll
hence how cocky they were when we caught them
Judge: Can you take off the hat and mask
Me: We need you to give them 20 years
Judge: We? You and who?
Me: We need you to give them 20 years
Judge: You telling me how to do my job?
Me: Your Son Kegaan he's 6 years old, you have a 26
year old daughter. First born and she's a flight
attended currently at Singapore, your wife Mrs
Cotzee is on her way to play tennis
Judge: You did your homework.. Good for you
Me: of course, let's not forget about your secret
family now
He looked at me shocked..
Me: Ohw yaa no one knows about them, not your
current family and the ones you work for. Being a
judge you are able to keep such secrets but
unfortunately some other people are smarter
Judge: Who are you?
Me: Your worst nightmare
Judge: What do you want?
Me: Thought you already know.. 20 years each, no
possibility of parole please deny them bail too
Judge: If I do this, my other family will be safe right
Me: Hit the button
He hit the button, I opened the door for him..
Me: Drive home safe Judge, your wife is waiting she
can't leave until you there
He got in and I closed the door..
Me: Bye Judge
He drove off.. I turned and looked at Ck in the car.
The downpart of the Gilligan Brothers is that Ck was
working for them. He knows most about them..
Ck: And?
I got in the car and took off my hat and mask..
Me: It worked
Ck: I was confused didn't remember which judge had
a secret family, glad it's him
Me: Let's get out of here
He drove off...
SABBY
Salvation walked into the kitchen..
Sal: Good morning
Me: Hi
Sal: Going somewhere?
Me: Yeah
Sal: Where?
Me: How is that any of your business?
Sal: Well the neighborhood thinks we are a couple so
Me: Let them think so
Sal: So
Me: When you have learned how to use a gun, then
I'll tell you where I'm going. Until then, it's none of
your business and I have to leave
Sal: Guns turns boys into pussies, sex change
Me: What a come back
Sal: Enjoy your date
Me: Bye
I walked out..

THE MENDOZA
I thought Sabby wasn't going to show up, but she did.
What she did yesterday it was breath taking. I love
women who can stand up for their own, strong
women who are not intimidated that easy..
Sabby: So what happens after this coffee date?
Another date, then the other until we date?
I chuckled..
Me: That's a good word play
Sabby: I'm just asking
Me: I don't know let's see where a few dates take us
Sabby: I'm crazy you know
Me: Psycho tendencies?
Sabby: Institutional
Me: I'll take that
Sabby: What about you?
Me: What about me?
Sabby: Your flaws
Me: I am an open book
Sabby: A catch such like you, single?
Me: I just.. I'm picky
Sabby: Ohh I see
ZITHA MAGASELA
Me: He did what?
Ck: He.. He killed his Partner
I looked at the front page, An FBI agent by the name
of Yvonne her body was found in what looked like a
dam.. It's an open investigation..
Me: Menzi is going to make sure that they pin it on
Mendoza, we don't need this now
Matt: Can't we Pin it on Kirs?
Ck: It won't be easy
Matt: But it's not impossible
Me: No
Matt: You want Mendoza to go to jail?
Me: No I don't but we don't want Kirs snooping
around and finding out what we doing
Ck: So how do we fix this?
Me: Let me think
Matt: Where is Peggy?
Me: She went out?
Ck: With Ndo?
Me: No.. I'm babysitting for a few hours
Ck: You are babysitting?
I looked at him..
Me: What's wrong with that?
Ck: Nothing.. There's nothing wrong with that
Me: Guys we'll cross this bridge when we get there
Matt: So the Orphanage?
Me: That's what we need to discuss as our next
mission
Ck: Fill us in
KIRS BOSCH
I need someone to tail Roger back in Gauteng...
Rich: Why?
Me: Ck has made me not to trust anyone
Rich: You think he's double crossing us?
Me: It's impossible to for a PI to not find a mentally
deranged girl unless Zitha is in a mental institution
Rich: Why do you even care about her?
Me: Look at this
I took the book and tossed it to him..
He opened it and read through..
Me: That was recovered after they were released
Rich: So she had dark thoughts, it was her way to
escape her reality
Me: She killed 3 guards solo
Rich: She was in the moment, her survival instinct
kicked in.. She was trying to protect herself
Me: Yeah maybe
Rich: We need to discuss the orders from our clients
Me: Let's do that
I took the book and looked at it...
ZITHA MAGASELA
If we enter from this side, the guards won't see it
coming..
Ck: This is a big operation, we literally poking Kirs
from his snake hole
Me: When we said we going after him, we meant it
Matt: How many kids are in the orphanage?
Me: Now.. Approximately 30 girls
Ck: Where do we send them?
Me: They have files, where they come from, home
addresses
Matt: Will all families cooperate?
Me: if we set off to hit the flats we need to start with
the orphanages then hillbrow and Sunnyside, we
succeed in those we can definitely go for the bigger
crowd
Ck: The dark web, there's good clients there
Matt: For when we start switching the roles
Me: Brutal video uploads, we can start by Sondenzi..
Then Rich
Matt: His strongest
Ck: It might make him scared, it might anger him
more
Me: Either way it's the only way to get to him
Matt: So we need to learn this Sondenzi person
Ck: Wait there are good orphanages around, we can
contact them so they can take up the kids
Matt: That's a good idea
Me: If the little girls are gone, it kills that part of their
business
Ck: There's no little girls to sell
Matt: Without little girls, there's no clients
Ck: It's going to affect their international clients too
Matt: Let's go through the plan again
THE MENDOZA
Sabby had gone out to the ladies, and I stumbled
upon the news of Yvonne's body that was
recovered..
She was last seen with me, obviously I might be the
first suspect. I will be interrogated, they going to grill
me and a lie detector test might be suggested..
It's been a while since this whole situation
happened, I just need to play it very cool. The
basement, I made sure that I got rid of all the
evidence...
SIHLE
I found myself missing my old life, missing what I
used to know. When life was simple, when life was
just black and white..
Flashes of what happened to me when I first got here
invaded my mind, seeing that girl chained like how it
was with me. Dropped my mood and I was stuck
thinking on what happened to her and where they
took her..
I grabbed my jacket, this was it. I was going to turn
him in..
I walked to the kitchen door and Beauty's voice
behind me stopped me..
Beauty: Where are you going?
Me: Out.. I need fresh air, I'm going to the mall
Beauty: No you not
I looked at her..
Me: Excuse me?
Beauty: You are not going out Sihle
Me: Yes I am
Beauty: No you not, you are going to a place where
you not supposed to be going
Me: Excuse me
Beauty: You are not going to turn him, you not going
to turn my Brother in
Me: Your what?
She brought her hand back to the front, she had a
knife with her..
Beauty: Go back to the bedroom
Me: Your Brother?
Beauty: Go back to the bedroom.. Let's go
I walked to the bedroom, she took out the key and
locked me inside..
Me: Beauty!!!!
Beauty: We've worked hard for this! And I won't let
you ruin it, life was not kind to us back at home and
I won't let you do this to us!
KIRS BOSCH
I looked at the book again..
Me: "Do unto others, as you would have them do
unto you"
I turned the page..
Me: "The Punisher" the girl with a hidden mask
Something in this book was really off, there's
something unsettling about Zitha's drawings and
imagination..

SIHLE
[2 WEEKS LATER]
It was around 18:00 at night and Rich was taking me
out on a date..
That day he was the one who came and unlocked the
door for me, we never spoke about what happened
and things between Beauty and I were not good. She
tried to ignore me as much as possible, and I did the
same..
I was on my way to the bathroom to fix my makeup
when I heard them arguing in the lounge..
I gently walked over to eavesdrop..
Beauty: She has to go, you need to get rid of her
Rich: I can't just get rid of her, she's my wife
remember? We married?
Beauty: We've come a long way to let anyone ruin
what you worked hard for, I thought she was
different. Thought she understood but she doesn't
Rich: Beauty
Beauty: The problem with you is that you love too
much and you get blindsided
Rich: I don't get blindsided, If I did then I would've
long been caught and destroyed
I went back to the bathroom to fix my makeup..
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
I looked at the book. Kirs has been a bit paranoid
about what Zitha used to write when she was back
at the flats. I've heard him talk to Rich about it, and
he always has a notebook with him. Tonight I snuck
into his study and checked it out, it was very
fascinating. Very detailed, and gruesome..
Me: Wow
If what is entailed here makes my husband paranoid,
then it's legit..
I sat on his chair and went through it, the first part
was just lyrics..
I do believe that Zitha could do this, she was very
resilient at the flats and killing 3 guards single
handedly? I have a bit of faith in her but I don't know
if she would trust me. Not after everything that has
happened between us.. I got up and walked out,
closing the door behind me..
ZITHA MAGASELA
I looked at the woman..
Me: Thank you, thank you for doing this
Her: I have been involved in a few orphanages, and I
can't bring myself to believe that someone would be
this vindictive to abuse children and sell them
This woman has a good reputation when it comes to
working with kids, she's a retired social worker that
has helped a lot of kids.
She has a shelter but it's not something big, but it can
definitely help shelter our Orphans.
It's a very isolated place, well guarded but they can't
stay here forever. This will just be temporary..
I looked at the time..
Tomorrow we have to go and get the kids from there,
tonight Sabby and Salvation have to bring Sondezi to
us..
THE MENDOZA
This was difficult for King I could see. He's handling
Yvonne's case and I had to tell him everything.
Everything that happened..
He told me that the Corona couldn't get much
evidence because all the evidence was washed away
by the water, but I shouldn't be relaxed....
We were in the interrogation room, just me and
him..
King: Please state your name and surname
He turned on the recording..
Me: My name is Mendoza Kunene
King: What was your relationship with her?
Me: She was my colleague
King: How did she end up here? In SA?
Me: She came to help me with the human trafficking
case
King: Then what happened?
Me: We couldn't crack the case and she was needed
back in Washington so she left
King: Do you remember the day she left?
Me: It was after we had lunch and I had announced
that I was stepping down, we drove back to my place
and she drove to the airport
King: Did you drive her to the airport?
I thought for a while, if I say yes it might backfire.
They might try to retract the tape of my car driving
into the airport..
Me: No she took an Uber
King: You never drove her?
Me: No my Mother wasn't feeling well that day
King: What was wrong?
Me: She suffers from depression, clinical depression
King: What happened after?
Me: Yvonne was suppose to call and check in after
landing but she didn't, that's when I called my
superior
King: What about your sister? How was she rescued?
Me: I don't know how that is relevant to this
King: Your Sister was kidnapped right after Yvonne
went missing, it could be a syndicate that was trying
to scare you off. People who were after you
Me: I don't know how she was rescued, I just
received a call to go and get her
King: Get her from where?
Me: Abandoned warehouse
He nodded..
Me: Am I a suspect?
King: No just a Person of interest, would you be okay
to take a lie detector test?
Me: Yes
King: Okay.. I'll be right back
I took pills to calm me down for the lie detector, if
my heart rhythm doesn't spike up if my pulse is good
and I'm calm then I'll pass..
SABATHA (SABBY)
I was attending a black tie event for the rich.
What was good about this function was that women
were wearing those glamorous masks.. My identity
was well hidden..
I was wearing a black ball gown dress, and heels. I am
mostly at the forefront of everything since I'm a
straight girl. I don't have a problem with it, I enjoy
being supreme over these bastards and bringing
them into justice..
The function was for Sondezi, for these Men to fund
his Orphanage and improve it..
He made 2 million tonight..
I walked up to him holding my glass of champagne,
he was talking to the other Men.
Me: Excuse me Sir
They looked at me..
Me: Sorry to disturb
Salvation was posing as one of the waiters..
Me: Mr S, may I please talk to you?
Sondezi: Excuse me Gentlemen
We walked away from them..
Me: I apologize for just stealing you away
Sondezi: I don't mind
Me: I just couldn't help myself but to applaude you
for your great work
Sondezi: Thank you
He looked at me..
Sondezi: Here with someone?
Me: I'm not married if that's what you asking
Sondezi: Good for me then, let's go over the balcony
Me: Please
I walked behind him, I turned and looked at Sal. He
nodded, I nodded too..
The plan is to for Salvation to bring us drinks, of
which his whiskey glass will be spiked and then we
get him...
THE MENDOZA
The strapped me to the machine as how it's intended
to be carried out..
Detective: We will start you with normal questions
just to make you comfortable.
Me: Okay
Detective: Is your name Mendoza?
Me: Yes
Detective: Are you a former FBI Agent?
Me: Yes
Detective: Is your Sister's name Peggy?
Me: Yes
Detective: Do you know who abducted her
Me: No
Detective: Was Yvonne your partner?
Me: Yes
Detective: Do you have anything to do with her
disappearance?
Me: No
Detective: Did you kill her?
Me: No
It was quiet for a while..
Detective: We done here
Menzi: How did he do?
Detective: He passed
King closed his eyes..
Detective: He passed well too
That was a relief..

SABBY
Sondezi: It must've been difficult for you
Me: It was, no child should grow up without their
Parents. Boys need their Fathers and Girls need their
Mothers
Sondezi: But look at you now, I can't believe a
beautiful lady like you is single
Me: I can't believe it myself
We both laughed and I ran my hand on his arm, in a
flirting way..
Sondezi: So what do you do?
Me: I'm in real estate, maybe I can show you some of
my houses sometime
Sondezi: That would be lovely
Sal walked in with a tray of 3 glasses of champagne
and a glass of whiskey..
Me: Thank you
Sondezi: Just one glass of whiskey
Sal: The gentleman standing over there took some
already, they the ones who directed me here
Me: That's nice, if it was me I would drink this one
already
Sondezi: It's quite an expensive whiskey
Me: Can I try?
He handed me the glass, I saw Sal getting worried..
I've lived in the streets for years to know how to play
my cards right. I ran it through my nose first then
nodded a little. I took a sip and nodded..
Sondezi: I told you
I handed him back the glass.. I placed the champagne
glass in my mouth and then spat the whiskey inside
making it seem like I was drinking then I purposely
spilled it on my cleavage..
Me: Oh.. Oh.. This is bad
Sal: Here's a napkin
Me: Thank you
I took it and wiped myself, Sondezi couldn't keep his
eyes off my cleavage. He downed the whiskey and
put it back on the tray, Sal took my champagne glass
and gave me another one..
Sal: More Sir?
Sondezi: Yes please
He walked away..
Me: There goes my expensive Givenchy dress
Sondezi: I'm sorry
Me: Ohw don't be, it was worth every penny
ZITHA MAGASELA
Sabby was wearing a wire, it was perfectly located in
her bra.. After that incident we couldn't hear them
anymore..
Matt: Should we go in?
Me: It seems like she has everything under control
Ck: Do you think she drank the whiskey?
Matt: I hope not, we trying to get Sondezi not
Sondezi getting her
Me: She has it under control.. Excuse me
I walked out of the car to call Peg..
Me: Is everything okay?
Peg: Everything is fine
Me: I got your missed call
Peg: That doesn't mean something is wrong
Me: Okay whats going on?
Peg: Well you won't believe this
Me: What?
Peg: Ndo smiled at me
Me: Are you serious?
Peg: I'm telling you
Me: Wow that's great
Peg: It was crazy cute (laughing)
Me: I wanna see that when I come back
Peg: You should
Me: I'll see you guys later
Peg: See you later Babe
Me: I love you guys
Peg: We love you too
SIHLE
I looked at him as we were eating dessert..
Me: Why you never told me that Beauty is your
Sister? Why is it a secret
He looked at me..
Rich: Well it's not a secret since you found out
Me: I am just wondering why you didn't say anything
Rich: Now you know
Me: That's not the point
Rich: What is the point?
Me: Things are awkward between us now
Rich: Whose fault is that?
Me: I wasn't going to report you, I just needed some
air
Rich: Good for you.. I have to make a phone call
He got up and walked out..
SABBY
He was barely hanging on, I felt the effects a bit too
but it wasn't intense..
Me: Sleeping on me?
Sondezi: I don't know
Me: Let's get out of here and get fresh air
Sondezi: That would be better
I put my hand under his arm as we walked out, I was
praying no one suspects anything..
I kept my smile, Sal walked up to us..
Sal: Is everything okay?
Me: Everything is fine, he had a lot to drink
Sal: Sir are you okay?
Me: Just taking him out for fresh air
Sal: Do you guys know each other?
Me: It's just fresh air nothing more
We walked out..
Sal: I better call someone for you
Me: Maybe and Uber
Sal: Did you come with someone Sir?
Me: Well
Sal: I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to him!
Sal grabbed Sondezi's other arm and then we walked
him a distant away to our parked squad car..
Me: No one is following us?
Sal: No.. Better go back inside to check
Me: Yeah do that
Sondezi: You drugged me
I looked at him..
Sondezi: The whiskey, you drugged me?
Me: Ohw shut up
Sal: Sure you'll be fine?
Me: He can barely stand we fine
I pulled him to the car...
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
I couldn't find Zitha on social media but I did find
Peggy. Her account was private though, that's a
bummer. I thought for a while but sent her an inbox..
Me: "Hi, I know you might not want to talk to me but
is there anyway I can get a hold of Zitha? It's
important please"
I sent the inbox...
ZITHA MAGASELA
Me: Let's get out of here
Sabby: So tomorrow it's the orphanage?
Me: Bright and early
Sondezi: Do you know who I am?
Sabby rolled her eyes..
Matt: How are we looking Ck?
Ck: I found a male prostitute to help us with the
video
Sabby: Is he top or bottom?
Ck: What?
Sabby: Well a bottom would do in this situation
Ck: What are you talking about?
Sabby: Gay guys are not just gay.. Where do you guys
live
Me: Ck is he top or bottom?
Ck: How the hell am I supposed to know?
Sabby: Can he fuck?
Ck: Don't they all?
Me: Ask him
Ck: We going to be paying him 3k for an hour, I'm
sure he can fuck
Sabby: You can bet your life on it?
Ck: He has a dick doesn't he?
Me: Just ask please
Ck: This is messed up!
Matt: You messed up that's what it is
KIRS BOSCH
I picked up..
Me: Rich?
Rich: Can't get a hold of Sondezi
Me: How come?
Rich: His phone just rings answered
Me: Did you call the others?
Rich: Said he left with a woman that he was talking
too
Me: He is probably getting some ass, try him again
tomorrow
Rich: I'll do that
Me: Okay
Rich: Cool
I hung up...

This was awkward, what does Vhutshilo want? I took
a screenshot and sent Zitha on whatsapp..
I thought there was a truce, why is she up bothering

I had flew down last night to Johannesburg, to attend
the court case. Prince and his associates are good
alliances of ours. Even though they are at the bottom
of the food chain but we sell drugs through them. We
run 3 operations, human trafficking, sex trade, and a
drug cartel..
We listened to Cotzee as he deliberated..I heard he
denied them bail and the case was very quick..
Cotzee: Sufficient evidence that cannot be ignored
was presented against the accused Prince and his
associates. I have evaluated and analyzed all the
evidence and I am ready to deliberate based on what
the state presented. With unreasonable doubt, the
evidence is overwhelming. We live in a country that
we trying to keep safe for women and children.. I
therefore pass a sentence of 10 years to all the
culprits for kidnapping, and an additional 10 years
for drugging and raping the victims with no Parole.
The court went crazy, people were happy. I didn't
understand this, I was shocked. I turned over and
looked at Roger, he attended the case with me even
though he is still being investigated too on my side..
This made no sense, Cotzee is on our side. Menzi
turned and looked at me. I was dumbfounded..
ZITHA MAGASELA
This was by far our biggest operation, rescuing the
Orphans. I am grateful for my crew, grateful for all
that they doing. At 6am we were already here,
Sondezi is being held up at the house. He's the only
one who can call and inform Kirs about this, him and
Mrs D. Mrs D had to be tied up together with the
guards. Surveillance footages, had to be
counterfeited. Ck retained an image on the
surveillance to make it seem like everything was still
peaceful..
All the files, and important documentations found at
Mrs D's office were taken. The kids will only leave
with their clothes and other important things..
We hired transportation, a bus. Then a truck to take
their clothes..
It was taking longer than expected, we were here at
6am and now it's 11am. The kids were transported
first on a 2 hour drive to their new home, whilst
some of us remained behind so when all is said and
done. We burn this place down..
Sabby: Hey
Me: Hey
Sabby: So I was thinking
Me: Yes?
Sabby: Mrs D, we need to sell her too
Me: No.. That's not what we stand for
Sabby: She was in on it Zee, she watched as these
poor kids were being violated. She was a part of it all
Me: She was forced to be
Sabby: She had a choice Zitha, we all have a choice.
Yes we don't punish women, but she has to know
how it feels like so next time she will choose her
battles carefully
Me: We'll discuss it later on, let's get this over and
done with
KIRS BOSCH
People were chanting and singing outside excited
about the ruling. Menzi was there giving out a
statement to the press..
Menzi: This is a lesson to all the drug dealers out
there who are ruining our country, we are coming for
you! What happened here this morning, it's just the
beginning
I shook my head and went to find Cotzee, I know
where he parks.. He wasn't here. I stood next to his
car and called Vhutshilo.
Tshilo: Honey
Me: Mrs Bosch
Tshilo: Is everything okay?
Me: Everything is okay, is everything okay there?
Tshilo: Yes
Me: What's that noise?
Tshilo: I'm at the mall getting a few things
Me: Okay I'll call you later then
Tshilo: Okay when are you coming back home?
Me: Tomorrow or the next tomorrow
Tshilo: Okay I miss you
Me: I miss you more
Tshilo: Talk later then I love you
Me: I love you too
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
I exhaled, that was close..
I was at the mall at Checkers buying two bus tickets..
Indeed Peggy has a Daughter, I saw when she
uploaded a picture last night on her Facebook
account. It was the only picture that was public after
her profile picture.
I know my husband can be very obsessive, and whilst
he's at Johannesburg I'm scared he might just pull
this Peggy thing off. Peggy can agree to a new life
with Kirs for the sake of her baby, until he falls in love
with him.
It happened with me, it can happen to any woman.
When his new "family" comes into my house, what's
going to become of me? He will sell me off and Peggy
will raise my Daughter. What if she abuses her? She
doesn't like me much..
Teller: We don't have a bus that goes straight to Kzn,
you can take one to Pretoria and then when you get
to Pretoria station you'll take one straight to Kzn
Me: Okay I'm okay with it
Teller: I have one that leaves at 23:00 tonight, and
one tomorrow morning
Me: Please I'll take the one for tonight
Teller: I can do one for you too from Pretoria to Kzn,
when you get to Pretoria you'll climb the one to kzn
Me: Perfect
Teller: Just need your ID
Me: It's two.. Me and my Daughter
Teller: No problem
Taking a plane will be risky, Kirs would never think of
a bus. I can't go back home in Venda, that will be his
first place to go and look. Johannesburg most of his
crew is there, Kzn is much safer. Azelea and I we will
live on the run until I figure out what to do next and
how we can skip the country..
ZITHA MAGASELA
We were done now, we've poured gasoline all
around.. What was left, was for us to set this place
on fire. The Guards will be driven far away from here,
tied up and left in an abandoned place. Mrs D we
taking her with us..
Me: Is everyone ready?
Sabby: Let's do this bitches
We all lit up match sticks and then threw them..
KIRS BOSCH
Cotzee didn't expect to find me here..
Cotzee: Gustavo?
Me: Judge Cotzee
Cotzee: I didn't expect you to attend
Me: A greeting handshake
I extended my hand out to him, he put his things
down and came to shake my hand.
Before he could, I punched him..
Me: What the fuck was that about?
Cotzee: I think you broke my nose!
Me: That's the least of your problems now
Cotzee: Okay look
He spat on the ground..
Cotzee: Someone got to me
Me: Who?
Cotzee: I don't know, he had a mask and all that
Me: A what?
Cotzee: They knew things about me that you and
your people don't even know about me
Me: What are you talking about?
Cotzee: Gustavo, you not as powerful as you thought
you were.. There's someone out there who is good
at this and I'm thinking of retiring getting out of here
Me: You not retiring!
Cotzee: I thought I was working for you, not other
people
Me: You are!! Get into the car and drive off, keep low
for a while and I'll see what I can do
He nodded repeatedly..
Me: Fuck!!!!

KIRS BOSCH
This whole scenario spelled out one person, the only suspect that I had in mind. Zitha.
As much as all fingers are pointing at her, but Cotzee explained that the person that approached him
was a male wearing a mask. The masks could be their signature, but it doesn't make sense. I've dealt
with a lot of women in the flats and it's impossible for someone who has been mentally deranged to
act out like this. I'd expect her to go crazy, but it seems she's coming for my kind only. She's rational
enough to come for those who have wronged her.. I still can't put my finger on it too..
Rich: Indeed it doesn't make sense
Me: At all, but someone out there is challenging us and they doing it planned and intelligently so
Rich: Unless it's more than just one brain involved
Me: Who could possibly be working with her?
Rich: She would have to find people who hate us just as much
Me: We need a meeting, we need to find who is doing this before they spiral out of control
Rich: I'm all ears
ZITHA MAGASELA
The kids, some of them found it a bit difficult to settle down to their new home but others were okay. I
understand though, even though the orphanage was cruel but at least they had a life. They were
afforded good food, the whole building inside was good looking. Their rooms were beautiful too..
Me: I'm afraid that they not settling in well
Matt: Give them time, what about school?
Me: They were more like home schooled, teachers would come at the orphanage
He nodded..
Matt: You do know that we've just poked the snake coiled up peacefully in its hole?
Me: I know
Matt: Kirs needs these kids more than anyone
Me: I know
Matt: He's going to come after us Zee, our families, everyone we know
Me: Remember when I brought you in, I told you that you giving up your life for this? When Kirs
finds out he's going to have bullets with your name on them?
Matt: I know
Me: I'm not a messiah I know we can't put them all away, but if we can put the big fish away. The one
at the top of the chain, the chain collapses
Matt: I know
Me: That's what we want
Matt: That's true
Me: We can do this
Matt: We will do this

Me: Eerr diet cola
Bartender: Okay
I looked around.. I was waiting for the owner of the club, Hunter. I sent through an Email last night,
he replied and told me that we can meet today..
Bartender: A diet cola
Me: Thank you
I looked at the time...

He chuckled..
Me: The Gay site
I looked at his ring..
Me: Who's the lucky guy?
Hunter: It's actually a woman
Me: Thought you were
Hunter: You don't have to be gay to enjoy another Man's butthole
Me: Ohw.. I see
Hunter: But my wife doesn't know
Me: I see, a secret life
Hunter: How can I help you?
Me: I need a Macho man like you, at least 2
Hunter: Okay
Me: 1 hour
Hunter: Please be more specific
Me: Men who are strong enough to hold another man down and.. You know, I did find one, but he
didn't meet the profile
Hunter: I understand
Me: You run an underground gay club.. So
Hunter: You've come to the right place, relax
Me: How much?
Hunter: 6k each
Me: I'm sorry 6 what for what?

We were only going to take our clothes and documents, only things that mattered..
I've been about this life for years, and I've always lived up to my husband's expectations. No matter
how much of a good wife I've been, he still managed to treat me like shit..
Azelea: Mama!
I freaked out..

Azelea: Are we going somewhere?

Azelea: Is Daddy coming?

know
Azelea: Ah.. But I can't go anywhere without Daddy knowing incase bad guys get us
I hate how Kirs has trained my Daughter..

Kirs: What happened?
Me: Stomach bug, I just put her down and I'll call the Dr tomorrow morning if she still doesn't feel
well
Kirs: Why don't you call the Dr now?
Me: I don't wanna overwhelm and scare her. I gave her honey with a bit of vinegar we'll see when she
wakes up.. We'll call you
Kirs: If she doesn't get well call the Dr
Me: I promise
Kirs: I'll call later on
Me: Okay
That was close..

I tried putting the glass down..
Hunter: You drunk already?
Me: No.. I just don't like rum
Hunter: You weak
Me: I should get going
Hunter: Can we call someone for you?
Me: No I'm fine
Hunter: Give me your phone, you done
Me: Find Sabby
Hunter: Sabby it is.. Just unlock with your fingerprint

Miriam: That's a good initiative
I was outside taking a walk with Miss Miriam, the owner of the Shelter
Miriam: I don't take in only just kids, also women who are escaping an abusive relationship, marriage,
home. Even women who are drug addicts, women who sleep on the streets. I've helped 5 so far, one is
the best Motivational speaker. I run the organization under "My sister's keeper". The other one is good
with beard work, she does the traditional attire for Reed dances
Me: Wow
Miriam: One went to college she's a PA and the other one is running her own organization
Me: What I went through at the flats, such experiences break you mentally I just don't want those
women to be rescued. I want them to venture into different things that will help them be independent
and grow as women, show that such circumstances should not take away the dream you have
Miriam: I am here if you need my help, it's not easy changing and healing their mental state
My phone vibrated. I took it out and checked, it was a whatsapp message. A picture of Peg in a black
lingerie..
"What do you think? Do I look bad? I want to get rid of the baby fat".
I don't know what she was talking about because she looked great, she didn't gain too much baby fat.
She was insanely thick..
Me: So as I was saying t-
I stopped and looked at the picture..
Me: Excuse me
I walked away and called her..
Peg: So?
Me: Who took the picture?
Peg: Huh?
Me: You have one arm against the bathroom door frame, the other one against your waist. So who
took the picture?
Peg: My Mom
Me: Miss K has an appointment today
Peg: How did y.. Are you keeping tabs on us?
Me: Who took the picture?
Peg: It was my Mom her appointment got canceled
Me: Okay
I hung up..
Me: Can we do this another time? Family emergency
Miriam: No problem
Me: Thank you
I texted the Chinese shop downstairs:

Zitha walked in that night, after she had sent her
Chinese goons to search the place out.
It was bothersome to have my privacy invaded like
that..
I stood there in the passage as she stood too, face to
face with me. I fixed my gown. She folded her arms,
and leaned against the wall with one foot against the
wall looking at me..
Me: Your friends were here, and they found no one
Zitha: That's good
Me: That's good? People got inside our apartment
and searched through invading my privacy and our
Daughter's privacy!
Zitha: Eyy ungang'bangeli umsindo Peggy (Don't
make noise for me)
Me: Ohh my, you weren't worried that someone
might have broken in, you thought I had someone in
the apartment. I was having sex with someone in our
apartment?
Zitha: Your Mother had an appointment today, you
don't have any friends then you send me such a
picture? I just needed to know who took the picture
Me: Wtf Zitha? You think I'm that low? Bring so-..
This is just upsetting
I turned around and walked to the bedroom.
Zitha: Come on Peg!
I closed and locked the door...
Me: You'll sleep on the couch!!
Zitha: At least let me see my Daughter before I sleep
Me: She's not going anywhere, you'll see her in the
morning!

Kirs never called after that last call. I had called an
Uber to come get us, when we drove out to the bus.
I left my phone on the bed..
We arrived at the Buses 30min before our
departure.. The bus was already parked and we got
in.. We settled down..
Azelea: Why are we not flying?
Me: I think the Bus is more fun
Azalea: I wanna call Daddy
Me: Not now
Azelea: When?
Me: Azelea stop it! Okay? Just stop it.. Here settle
down
I was already nervous and she wasn't helping either..

Sal: Why aren't you sleeping?
I looked at him..
Me: Ck, he's not back
Sal: And?
Me: It's unlike him, he's not even picking up
Sal: Well he might be having fun somewhere
Me: Ck? Having fun? His fun is reading 3 novels in
one day
Sal: Maybe a change of scenario
Me: Something is wrong
Sal: Let's give it until tomorrow morning okay?
Me: Okay
Sal: I'll make us some coffee
Me: Thank you
KIRS BOSCH
The following morning I was at the Orphanage, it has
burned down..
The kids weren't here, other guards weren't, and it
was only Mrs D who was here..
I went to the one Guard..
Me: What happened here?
Guard: Some people came, they raided the place
Me: Can you describe them?
Guard: They had on ski masks, except for one.. That
one hers was different
Me: Hers?
Guard: At first I thought it was guy, she's built like
one but upon hearing her voice. It was a woman,
kept on referring to her as the Punisher
I grabbed the chair and sat in front of him.
Me: What did you just say?
Guard: It was a s-
Me: No.. The reference part
Guard: They kept on referring to her as the Punisher
Me: No kidding!
Menzi came to us..
Menzi: Anything?
Me: It was Zitha
Menzi: Who?
Me: MG's Daughter
Menzi: The one that w-.. No it's not possible, this
whole thing spells out a professional
Me: She wasn't alone!
Menzi: I don't believe it
Me: We have our enemy, her name is Zitha. We are
going to find her and make her pay, I'll make what
she went through at the Flats look like child's play..
We need to find that bitch!! Pronto!!!

I was still a bit disoriented when I opened my eyes. I
felt an arm over me, I turned and Hunter was
sleeping behind me. I freaked out and fell off the
bed..
Me: What the??
We were in a bedroom, the room didn't have much..
I got up, I was only left with my briefs. Clothes
scattered on the floor, whiskey bottles..
Hunter rose up his head from the pillow..
Hunter: Good morning, what time is it?
Me: Wtf the fuck did you do to me? Did you roofie
me?
Hunter: Roo-.. You think I? If I raped you, you would
feel it
Me: Stay away from me!
I got my clothes and started dressing up..
Hunter: You are overreacting nothing happened, you
just got drunk and we ended up here. Was laying
next to you so that none of my boys came in to
violate you
Me: You sick! Stay away from me!
Hunter: I'm sick? Nothing happened calm down!!
I grabbed my phone and car keys then unlocked and
saw myself out....

I kept on trying Vhutshilo but she wasn't picking up..
Menzi: Hey
Me: Yeah?
Menzi: So how sure are you about this?
Me: I'm sure
Menzi: We will find her and do away with her
Me: No
Menzi: No?
Me: I have decided that we going to play her game
and beat her at it
Menzi: Gustavo?
Me: I am not going to let a woman show me off, we
are going to show her who we are. With that being
said, get me two of the best with brains
Menzi: What about Roger?
Me: I don't trust him
Menzi: Okay then what's the plan?
Me: We find out who they are, what they about then
let the game begin!!!

We were still on the road a bit far from our place, I
was still scared. I will only relax when we get to
Pretoria and on the bus to Kzn..
I was paranoid, kept on looking at everyone in the
bus to make sure that no one seems suspicious. Kirs
has eyes and ears everywhere. I looked over at
Azelea she was peacefully sleeping..
I tried closing my eyes too..
PEGGY KUNENE
I woke up that morning and bathe, the noise from
the kitchen really disturbed my peace. It wasn't too
much noise, but enough to make you go check what
was happening..
I walked over to Zitha singing at the stove..
Zitha: "And when the cops came through, me
Dre stood next to a burnt down house.
With a can full of gas and a hand full of matches, They
still wouldn't found out
From here on out it's the chronic two..
Startin' today and tomorrow's the new, And I'm still
loco enough, To choke you to death wit a Charleston
chew"
I stood there and looked at her, I was in my towel.
She was in her sports bra with briefs.
Zitha: "Slim Shady, hotter than a set of twin ba-"
She noticed me..
Zitha: Ohw well Good morning
Me: Good morning
Zitha: Thought I should wake up early, shower and
then prepare breakfast
Me: Okay
Zitha: About last night, I'm sorry
I looked at her broad shoulders and strong arms..
Me: You know on my last check up, the Dr said my C-
section Scar is healing well
Zitha: That's good
Me: Healing enough for someone to get ontop of me
She looked at me..
Zitha: Wait.. Let me get this straight. You want me to
leave this Pan on the stove and burn my scrambled
eggs so we could make out?
Me: Or you can move the Pan
Zitha: You want me to pause the breakfast and eat
your pussy out?
I chuckled..
Me: Yes
She bit her lower lip..
Zitha: I love it!
KIRS BOSCH
I received a call from the Fox..
Me: Yes?
Fox: They not here
Me: They didn't tell me that they were going out
Fox: No Gustavo, they gone.. Clothes gone
Me: What?
Fox: I don't think they were kidnapped
Me: Of course they weren't, kidnappers don't take
clothes
Fox: Her phone is on the bed
Me: Find that bitch!!
Fox: Yes Sir!

SIHLE
[2 MONTHS LATER]
I don't know if I still wanted to do this, I don't know
if I wanna keep on. Things are now harder than they
were before falling for each other and getting
married. Rich was now showing a side to him that I
wasn't too familiar with.
Girls kept on being held here in the guest room,
tortured and raped by him. At first I didn't notice, he
would do it at night when I'm sleeping until I
eventually realized what's going on. The girls are all
not the same age, the youngest is 13 years old. The
current one that's being held up..
This whole shit is affecting me mentally, in a way that
I cannot describe. Last night I heard this little girl
screaming, screaming until she couldn't anymore. I
heard her as she struggled to breath, I was near the
door listening through. It sent shivers down my
spine, it gave me goosebumps not in a good way...
I was bathing her because a Dr had to come and
check her, there were still traces of blood in her
coochie. I think she had cuts too, when I placed a
warm cloth soaked in salt against the entrance of her
coochie. She flinched in pain, tried closing her legs.
She looked exhausted, marks around her neck. She
was strangled with a ligature as he raped her.
A part of me made me understand why Tshilo ran
away, this is too much..
She calls me every now and then from a pay phone.
She hasn't told me where she is and I understand
that it's for her own safety..
I looked at her nipple, bite marks around the nipple
as if like he literally wanted to bit the nipple off..
She's just a child, she's only 13 years old..
Tears steamed down my face, she would
occasionally open her eyes and closed them too. She
had no energy...
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
Living on the run for the past two months hasn't
been easy. We moved from Kzn to North West, we
not going to stay in one place for more than 2
months..
Kirs hasn't found us yet, his attention is divided
because Sihle told me that she overheard them
talking and apparently Zitha is giving them a run
around for their money.
Upon hearing that, I managed to find Zitha on
Facebook but the picture seemed old.. I took a
chance, if you don't know you'd think that it's a fake
or an old account. I sent her an inbox a while back, I
accessed my Facebook at the internet Cafe.. She
replied back, the reply wasn't satisfactory. Hoping
she will she give a chance one day, of my helping her
bring down my husband in exchange for protection
cause I can't keep on living on the run.. When we got
to Kzn, I withdrew all the money in my account, we
living on cash.
I looked at Azelea..
Me: Are you ready?
She nodded..
We've traveled far from our place to use this pay
phone, Azelea was missing her father and she wasn't
holding up well..
Me: Okay I'm calling him
I rang his number nervously...
Kirs: Bosch.. Who is this?
I kept quiet..
Kirs: Who is this?
Me: It's me
Kirs: Tshilo where are you?
Me: Azelea wants to talk to you
Kirs: You know I'm going to find you right?
Me: You will not ask her where we are, you cannot
ask her to describe any building that she sees. As far
as you going to say is that you couldn't join us
because you working, 3min the longest.. I'm putting
her on
Me: Azelea come
She came and took the phone..
Azelea: Daddy... I'm okay...
She looked at me..
Azelea: She's okay but she cries sometimes
I rolled my eyes..
Azelea: I wanna come home.. I don't know where we
are, ask Mommy
I took the phone from her..
Me: That was against the rules
Kirs: How do you think this is going to end? I am sure
that you are about to run out of money
Me: We'll call you again next week, stay close to the
phone
I hung up..
Azelea: Ahhhhh
Me: Come on let's go
I held her hand..
Me: Fix your hat
Azelea: I don't like wearing a hat
Me: You don't have a choice
I had her hair cut short when we got here..
ZITHA MAGASELA
Things were running well for us, so much well that I
had renewed hope everyday that the world would be
a better place. That we can change the world to be a
better place..
We have made a strong alliances, who goes by the
name of Hunter. Hunter runs an underground strictly
gay and bisexual men club. The nature of what he
does is dangerous so he does have security..
We met him through Ck, it became convenient for us
to start a working relationship with him because we
need his services..
He is the one who made it possible for us to have a
video of Sondenzi having non-consensual sex, both
men were masked to protect their identities but
Sondenzi wasn't. We uploaded the clip on the dark
web, you had to pay to view the video and now we
were able to make 50k since it's upload a month ago.
The money is strictly going to help the Orphans, and
the men who were having sex with him paid so that's
how Hunter made money. They were buyers..
Both parties benefited..
We live in a small world because when Hunter was
let on who we are and what we do. Surprisingly
enough, Hunter had a story to tell about Kirs..
Both grew up in an Orphanage, and Kirs bullied him.
Hunter is bisexual he said it's something that he
learned at a very young age. He used to watch other
boys in the Orphanage bathing, when they noticed.
Kirs and the other boys bullied him terribly, called
him all sorts of names. "Sissy".. "Faggot".. "Shim"
etc..
He attempted suicide a few times and ended up
running away from the Orphanage. He thought the
bullying would stop when Kirs was sent to live with
his Grandparents, but it continued and the abuse
that they were subjected too at the Orphanage
didn't help.
He struggled with his sexuality for years, ended up
marrying a woman and had kids whilst sleeping with
Men on the side..
Ck had a problem with him, but he knew him first.
But now they seem to be getting along better..
Another thing I stumbled on was an offshore account
that my Father had, he was keeping money for me
incase something happened to him. It was difficult
for his lawyer to track me down, but he eventually
did..
It's a lot of money that I don't want since I know how
he attained it, so I'm going to use most of it to help
the victims.. Some of it will help with the crew, they
need to get paid every month as individuals. They
have families and some might wanna have places of
their own..
We were having an important meeting, and we were
missing Mendoza and Sabby..
King: Should we start?
Me: Let me call Mendoza
As I was about to call, they walked in. Sabby was
fixing herself and so was he..
It seems their relationship was getting serious now
and they weren't so private about it anymore, just
that they too sexual and there's nothing wrong with
that but they overdoing it and it shouldn't affect
their professional life..
King: Should I address this?
Me: I will later
KIRS BOSCH
Blake: These are our culprits
She put the pictures up..
Blake: Matt, Ck, Mendoza, Salvation, Sabby and their
leader Zitha but calls herself the Punisher. These are
her cleaners
Sk: It's a woman
Blake: Yes
Sk: It's a woman
Blake: A dangerous one for that matter, her and
these people managed to raid the orphanage, put
away Prince and capture Sondezi
Sk: It's a woman, we are being spat on by a woman?
Blake: It was not easy attaining the information,
gentlemen we are dealing with a group and the only
group that managed to do what others couldn't. That
is to challenge us
Rich: When we get to her, I would like a week with
her
They all laughed..
Sk: She's too musculine it's disturbing
Rich: Only way to make a tough woman remember
that she's a woman
Blake: The advantage that she has is that, she was
held at the Flats and she might know here and there
how we operate
Menzi: Way forward?
Blake: They took one of our own, humiliated him,
degraded his manhood, tortured him and stripped
him off his power
Me: The video was highly disturbing
Blake: Here it is
She played the video..
I've never heard a man cry like how Sondezi was
crying as those two men violated him.
He was put in a position where he begged, we don't
beg. He was robbed of his power and even if he gets
through this, he's not going to be okay and we won't
take him back. He has been vandalized, broken we
are not therapy..
Rich: Stop it
She stopped it..
Me: They should just kill him, he has been broken
beyond
Blake: That's why we have to prevent such from
happening to any of us again
Menzi: So what's the plan?
Blake: They have a motto "Do unto others as you
would have them do unto you". We are going to play
their game and see which crew wins. An eye for an
eye makes the world go blind, revenge births death
but who the fuck is keeping score? "Do unto others".
What they do unto us, we do unto to them. An eye
for an eye. If they rescue 5 girls, we kidnap 10, now
they have one of our own. We are getting one of
theirs too.. Gentlemen here's the list
She put out their pictures again..
Blake: Choose one!! Any except for her the Punisher.
We don't want her yet, we wanna break her first. We
want her to see that this holy saving convention she
started was a bad idea, when we strike hard we
going to make her feel like a failure until she breaks
down and let the other crew members blame her
and lose her family too in the process then after we
bury her!! Take her back to where it started, the
flats.. We won't lose!!

ZITHA MAGASELA
King: We are tackling very difficult cases. Seated here
we don't know what's going to happen tomorrow.
We cannot stop people coming for us, but we can try
to prevent one of us from getting hurt. I've brought
this morning one of my trusted colleague, and a true
friend. He has made these tracking implants for us,
they will be inserted in your arms just close to your
armpits, so that if something happens we can be able
to track you
They were all quiet..
Me: Any Questions?
Sabby: Are they safe? Health wise?
Colleague: Yes
Matt: Then let's do it, I'm game!
Me: I don't want to lie anyone here. Kirs probably
knows who we are by now after the Orphanage saga.
He's going to come after us
Mendoza: We are at the most disadvantage, we
don't have sources that they have nor contacts. We
not the first people to go after them, but we should
be the ones to actually nail them
Me: We are taking down his operation, we are hitting
him where it hurts the most
Mendoza: A wounded lion is the most dangerous
Me: But a wounded lion doesn't fight rationally, it
fights with the goal "Us or them"
Mendoza: We don't fight from anger, revenge
King: We fight by using our brains, an Impala can take
down a Buffalo only if it fights smart
Me: There's going to be a time where fear is going to
be involved, but always know. There's no courage,
without the absence of fear
Mendoza: Being courageous is being scared of doing
something, but doing it anyway
Me: It's pushing past your fear and stepping on to
your goal
King: So we ask, if you wanna leave now then you are
welcome too
Me: Your families might be in danger, it's going to get
tough
They all kept quiet..
Me: I guess we should start with the implants
KIRS BOSCH
Blake is dangerously smart, the brains we need. She
flew in from the states, one of our contacts sent her
here. Zitha has Ck, upon running background checks
on her crew. She also has a Matt, he's also smart. We
wouldn't have been able to do so if it wasn't for
Blake.
Me: Thank you for all the work you doing
Blake: We on the same team
Her IQ is 2% higher than that of an average Person..
When you look at her she does have that dark aura
around her. She's a brunette who hides behind her
glasses, has a ponytail, always chewing on candy.
Black dress up to her knees and heels..
Blake: I know you've been doing this for years and I
don't undermine your integrity
Me: But?
She opened the file she was holding...
Blake: This woman, don't take her as an enemy only.
Take her as your worst nightmare too. Don't
undermine her
Me: You know I thought that she would be in a
mental institution, thought she'll be trying to
connect her mental state
Blake: Most people channel their anger the right
way, and when they do. It becomes dangerous her
healing state circles around her not wanting anyone
else to go through what she went through because
she understands the pain, there's good monsters out
there and she's a good one. Preying on the other bad
monsters
Me: Attacking the Orphanage? Leaving the book that
was careless
Blake: To you yes, but it's not. She's trying to show
you that she's not scared of you anymore she's facing
you in a way you didn't imagine until when she
comes face to face with you
Me: How do we break such a Person? Death?
Blake: Hers no.. She's emotionless to herself, she
doesn't care about dying. To break such a Person
Me: You go after her loved ones?
Blake: That's partial pain, she will recover and get
more stronger
Me: Blake stop being philosophical
Blake: Let's go to the flats, I wanna try out something
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
I received a call from a number I didn't recognize. I
have bought myself a small phone, not a smart
phone though. I looked at it as it rang, scared it might
be Kirs. It stopped ringing, I went to the window to
check, there was no unsavory character outside..
Me: Azelea go to your secret place
Azelea: Why?
Me: Just go!
She ran off to the secret place I've created for her, a
place where she won't be found if someone comes
in and attack us..
I went and checked If the door was locked, I have at
least 5 locks..
My phone beeped, it was a message. I checked with
my hands trembling:
"It's Zitha"
I sighed in relief. In my message to her, I included my
number.. I called her..
Zitha: Hello
Me: Hi
(Silence)
Me: Thank you for contacting me
Zitha: I don't trust you, for all I care. You could be
fooling me. Your husband could be behind you
contacting me? Remember the dinner situation?
Me: I understand, after what I've put you through
Zitha: I don't care about that, I care about when we
first met. It was not under good circumstances but at
the same time you helped me. I wouldn't be who I
am today if it wasn't for you. You helped me realize
the true extent of what my Father was doing, you
helped me see the world for what it is
Me: Thank you I guess?
Zitha: You going to convince me to trust you
Me: Anything
Zitha: I need to be one step ahead of your husband
Me: Okay
Zitha: Tell me something I don't know, let's start with
something light
Me: He knows that Peggy has a daughter, he's fully
convinced it's his or Fabianos. He will be coming for
the little girl
She didn't say anything for a while..
Me: How do I contact Kirs without it coming back to
me?
I sat down..
PEGGY KUNENE
I was at the park with Ndo and my Mother. I get out
more now but under supervision. I have 3 Chinese
guys, Zitha's alliances following me everywhere. It's
ridiculous, how bad is the force that I need this kind
of protection?
My Mother was sliding down Ndo but holding her
steady on the mini slide. I don't even think Ndo is
Attentive on what's happening..
Some lady walked by and sat next to me on the
bench holding her daughter..
Her: Hi
Me: Hi
Her: Is that one yours?
Me: How did you know?
Her: You keep on staring at her
Me: It's that obvious?
Her: Very
Me: She's my Daughter
Her: How old?
Me: 2 months, she'll be 3 months soon. She's a
premature though
Her: She seems strong for a premature
I saw one of the Chinese guys walking up to us...
Him: Please step away from the lady
The woman laughed..
Her: Excuse me?
Him: Step away from the lady
The other two moved closer to my Mother and Ndo..
Her: I don't understand
Him: The park is not open for anyone else
Her: That's.. That's right it's a park for the public
She looked at me..
Her: Do you know this guy?
Me: Uhm
Him: Step away from the lady before I use force to
drag you away
She shook her head...
Her: Fine
She got up..
Me: I'm truly sorry about this
She took the bag and walked away, the Chinese guy
followed her to the gate..
This is very embarrassing and uncalled for..
KIRS BOSCH
As we drove out to the flats, I received a call from a
private number..
Me: Hello?
Voice: She is not yours
I recognized the voice..
Me: Zitha? I thought we were never going to speak
ever again
Blake looked at me.. She mumbled the words "Loud
speaker"
I put her on loud speaker..
Me: You got my number? My personal private
number I'm impressed
Zitha: Well what can I say?
Me: Are you sure that we should be talking like this?
Seeing that we are now rivals
Zitha: Am I on loudspeaker?
Me: Why? Are you scared?
Zitha: Anything but scared, if I was. I wouldn't have
made this call
Blake raised her eyebrow..
Zitha: She's not yours
Me: Who is not mine?
Zitha: Don't play smart with me, my Daughter is not
yours!
Me: Ohw
Zitha: I don't know what Roger told you but she's not
yours
Me: You would know that information because?
Zitha: I know you hired him to unearth a lot about us
but you dropped him because you don't trust him
Me: I'm impressed
Zitha: Yeah.. And say hello to that bitch Blake for me!
Blake put her hand on her chest..
She hung up..
Blake: Wow.. Impressive such confidence and
boldness, she just got me off my panties
Me: She's tailing us?
Blake: No.. Someone close to you might be feeding
her information
Me: How do you know?
Blake: They have too much on their hands to tail you
now, she wouldn't risk her team as yet she hasn't
perfected her plan
She continued colouring on the drawing book. A
Christmas tree
Blake: You know I wanted a tree just like this for
Christmas when I was young
I looked at her..
Me: Blake
Blake: I only got it last year
She's going on like she just didn't tell me something
important..

KIRS BOSCH
I looked at her as she navigated the solitary, looking
around. There wasn't anything interesting here, just
a mattress and one blanket..
She took off her glasses..
Blake: So how was it or rather how did it look like
when you held them here that night?
Me: I had a bed
She nodded whilst still looking around..
Blake: Can we make it look exactly the same as how
it did when you held them here?
Me: Your point?
She looked at me..
Blake: Ohh just trust me, how soon can you do it?
Me: I'll get it done
Blake: Good
VHUTSHILO BOSCH
Zitha called again..
Me: Hello?
Zitha: The Blake information, top notch
Me: It worked?
Zitha: Maybe.. How did you know?
Me: Sihle told me, she overheard Rich and Kirs
talking about bringing her in
Zitha: You talk to Sihle on the run?
Me: Yes
Zitha: Send her number
Me: Okay
Zitha: Bye
Me: For how long do I have to prove myself? Can't
be on the run forever. I have a Daughter to protect
She hung up..
That was discouraging..
SIHLE
Rich walked into the bedroom, I was from bathing
with a towel wrapped around my body.. He closed
the door..
Rich: Good day
Me: Good day
Rich: Are you going somewhere?
Me: No
He walked closer to me as I got my body lotion. He
stood behind me, I was standing in front of the
mirror. He dropped my towel, and ran his hands on
my arms all up to my shoulders kissing me at the
back of my neck.
For the first time, he disgusted me! I felt disgusted
by him..
Me: The Dr came to check the kid
He stopped..
Me: She has been sexually violated, she's badly hurt
He continued..
Me: Did you hear what I said?
Rich: Yes and so?
I turned and looked at him..
Me: You violated that little girl
Rich: So?
Me: She's just a little girl
Rich: She's not your Daughter, your sister, nor do you
have any relation to her
Me: That's not the point!
Rich: What is the point?
Me: It's disgusting!
He tried to touch me, I stepped back..
Me: Don't touch me! You disgust me!
Rich: I what?
He chuckled..
Me: You disgust me!!
He slapped me back against the mirror. I hit against
it with my back and fell..
He walked over and closed the door...

With everything that happened to me when I was
young, the pain and trauma I went through. I used
my sexuality as a coping mechanism for me. When
Kirs and the other boys did that, it robbed me of my
power and my dignity as a boy. I was at their mercy,
powerless. They used to undress me, piss on me, call
me faggot and insert things in my anal area. One
time, they inserted a broom stick far up my ass that
I was admitted at the hospital. The people who ran
the Orphanage didn't care, they turned a blind eye
because they were also sexually violating us..
When I grew up, and I felt comfortable in my
sexuality though I'm still heavily closeted but I slept
with Men to gain back my Power. I don't get fucked,
I fuck them..
Sondezi was on the floor shivering like a dog. He was
naked, a chain around his neck laying on his piss and
human waste. I have put a padlock around his penis
and tied his hands so he doesn't get it off. I can't
imagine the Pain he goes through when he gets an
erection. The sexual act performed on him, it was
performed with the padlock, locked around his
penis..
I walked over to him with my hand around my
mouth, there was a terrible stentch in the room. I
even almost vomited..
He was sobbing but not too loud and held in one of
the rooms in the club, one that only I and the boy
who takes care of him access.
Feli walked in..
Feli: Ohh my Goodness it stinks in here
Me: Why didn't you clean him up?
Feli: Well I was busy
Feli is our drag queen, some customers here prefer
props, a man dressing up and also stripping. He's
very handsome but turning beautiful because he's
on Oestrogen replacement now. He doesn't sleep
with anyone other than me.. He does me better than
my wife in bed..
Me: Get him cleaned up Feli
Feli: Yes Big Bear
I looked at him..
He rolled his eyes..
Feli: Yes Sir
Me: I'll come back later
I closed the door..
SIHLE
He whipped me with the buckle of the belt all over,
it was intense. It tore through my skin, the most
painful thing I had to be subjected too.. I cried, I
screamed, begged him to stop but he kept on until I
pissed on myself..
I covered my face to protect it from him getting to
it..
Me: I'm sorry (crying)
He whipped me until his hand got tired and he was
breathing heavy.. He paused for a few seconds
catching his breath then switched hands and started
again..
KIRS BOSCH
Blake knocked in my office..
Me: Come in
I have an office at the flats.. She walked in.
Blake: How is wifey?
Me: Still giving her time to think that I can't find her,
though I miss my Daughter very much but I want her
to spend some time with her Mother, last time
before I come through
Blake: Nothing like a caring cold hearted man
She sat down, I looked at her. She crossed her legs
and the dress lifted up a little. She took off her
glasses and her hair pin, she fixed her hair..
I cleared my throat..
Me: How is it going at the solitary?
Blake: Waiting for the bed to arrive
I nodded..
Me: Maybe we can go out to eat as they set up
Blake: If you wanna get in my panties just say so, you
don't have to soften me up with dates that won't go
anywhere
I was speechless.. She got up and came all around, I
was standing by the table. She lifted her dress high
up to her waist and crouched with her legs opened.
She ran her hands from my legs all the way up to my
thighs, then crotch. She unbuttoned my pants and
unzipped them, then pulled them down. She pulled
down my briefs, and my crotch was exposed. She ran
her hand on her soft hair and then brought her
mouth closer.

I received a call from Peg..
Me: Maka Ndo
Peg: Zee
Me: Zee?
Peg: What is it that you do exactly? That requires 3
Chinese Men to disturb my day with Ndo at the park?
Me: Well we solve cold cases, cases that cops can't
get too so it's not safe
Peg: Hmmmm that sounds dangerous
Me: Highly dangerous
Peg: Thank you for all that you do for us
Me: You welcome.. How about we go out tonight?
Peg: Out?
Me: You haven't been out for a while, dinner then
sleepover at a hotel and we come back tomorrow
morning
Peg: Meaning we leave Ndo for the night?
Me: I know this highly trained couple that can
babysit for the night for us
Peg: My Brother and Sabby?
Me: They highly trained
Peg: I don't know Zee
Me: Just for the night
Peg: Okay then
Me: I'll fetch you later
Peg: I'll pack an overnight bag for both of us
Me: I'll fetch you later
Ck poked me on the shoulder..
Me: I have to go
Peg: I love you
Me: I love you too
I hung up..
Me: What's up?
Ck: When are we hitting Kirs again?
Me: When we succeed in shutting down sunny side
and hillbrow. Those are the two biggest operations
after the cape flats, we pull those two off we go after
Kirs head on. We go to the flats
Ck: That's reasonable, come let me show you our
plan how we going to hit sunny side
