WHAT A JOURNEY: Chapter 1 – 20
GIFT OKORIE??
CHAPTER 13
“We will find Out when we see them, brace up and get ready kids, we are going to the jungle…..” Pedro announced.
“Whaaaaat” we all exclaimed.
He didn’t say anything else, he just stood up, placed his hat back on his head which made him look like a Mexican cowboy, funny!
He snapped his finger before walking out of the room, the first body guard lifted Ruby, Henry and Michael and dragged them Out of the room.
The second one went to Kira but she stopped him.
“Just say move and I’ll move” she stated, sometimes I just admire her authoritative spirit but she abused it on her friends.
“Move” the body guard instructed with a deep voice. She rolled her eyes at him and Walked out.
He went to Bathny but she waved at him and shook her head. “Uh uh, don’t touch me” she warned and walked out voluntarily.
The guard turned to Kiwi and she stood up immediately. “You and your boss should really go to school and learn how to communicate with people instead of bossing them around” she stated and flipped her long hair at the guard before walking out. I’m loving her new confidence and it all happened in one night.
Speaking of one night, I need to go home or perhaps call my parents otherwise they will be so worried and I will be grounded for ages. I wonder if they will let us go home at all.
“Do you two need an invitation before you leave” the guard brought me back to reality.
I felt Marichuiy’s soft hand wrap around my arm.
“I was calling you but you seemed to be deep in thought, let’s go” she said and dragged me out of the room, we walked into a broad hallway with doors few feet away on each side of the walls.
“What were you thinking about?” Marichuiy asked me as we walked down the hallway, following the rest toward the stainless steel double doors elevator.
“Just thinking about my parents, they would be worried by now, I don’t usually stay out until 3:am” I replied, her face changed to a sad mood.
“I’m so sorry Dave, this is all my fault, I shouldn’t have come to the party, y’all wouldn’t be in this mess if I had stayed back home, I’m sorry for being a bad luck to you” she mumbled.
“Hey, it’s not your fault, you were at the party for your own Good reason, you didn’t know you would meet us there, and see, if you weren’t at the party as you saw in your dreams, you wouldn’t have met your Mr. Helper” I said to her.
“Ugh, does it seem to you like this guy is helping us? Dude is using us, can’t you see the way he’s treating us like slaves, if he was helping, he would have at least offered us as littlest as a glass of water, he doesn’t even know what help means, he wants us to find my parents or probably lead him to that temple ourselves using that map, I don’t think he can read not to talk of reading maps” she voiced out humorously and I laughed.
“What’s so funny” the deep voice of the guard stuttered us.
“Jesus, dude reduce your voice while talking, especially when you notice the person you are talking to is closer to you” she advised him.
I was expecting him to shoot us or beat us or something but instead he said “sorry” with a deep soft voice, Marichuiy and I exchanged glances in confusion.
WHAT A JOURNEY: Chapter 1 – 20
We finally got to the elevator, we joined the rest, it was large enough to contain all of us.
Salvador pressed the last floor button.
“Sir can we at least go home and inform our parents and probably park a few things for the journey?” Ruby asked as we waited for the elevator to start moving.
“No” he replied and pressed the button twice again but it still didn’t move. “You..” He tapped Marichuiy. “Out” he instructed, she walked out of the cozy machine room, and the double doors slammed shut.
Salvador pressed the roof button and in two seconds the elevator started moving upward until we got to the roof top, we could clearly see the town and the Beverly Hills sign which stood about miles away from the building.
“Of course, cur$ed girl in an elevator, how will it move the second time?” Salvador scoffed out rhetorically. He pressed the top floor button, and the elevator moved back down to where we came from, the doors opened and Marichuiu was still standing there biting her finger and her eyes looked glassy as if she was about to cry, she lifted her head up and cleaned her face when she saw us.
“I wasn’t crying” she sniffed out.
“You know you were” Salvador replied without emotions. “You will use the stairs” he stated, Marichuiy nodded childishly, he was about closing the stairs when I stopped him.
“Wait, I want to go with her” I stated and stepped out.
“Dave at you insane, you can’t do that” Kira whimpered.
“Listen to your girlfriend Dave” Salvador backed up.
“She’s not his girlfriend”
“She’s not my girlfriend” Michael and I said almost at the same time.
“Oh, well she seem to be more attatched to him so I thought…… Never mind, well see you guys down stairs” he stated and wanted to close the doors but Bathny jumped out followed by Kiwi and that made the doors to open again.
“Bathny and Kiwi get back here” Kira spat out.
“Tell that to your grand mother” Bathny blurted out.
“What she said” Kiwi added and Kira gasped.
“Umh, actually, I’m gonna go with them as well, just to make sure Dave is OK” Henry said and walked out.
“Me too, just to protect the girls” Ruby stated referring to Bathny and Kiwi.

I signaled Michael to come out with Kira too, probably we might find a way to get out of here together while Salvador and his guards Rode in the elevator.
“Umh, I think we will also go with them” Michael finally said when he understood my signal but Kira will always be Kira.
“Nope, no, no I’m not taking the stairs, I’m not gonna stress my beautiful legs when there’s a working elevator here, no way” she complained.
“Dumb bch” Henry mumbled beside me and Ruby palmed his face.
“Babe come on, it’s better we go with people we know than this people” Michael tried to convince her.
“He’s making sense babe” Salvador added which got Me thinking, is he that dumb or he just knows what he’s doing, well only one way to find out.
“But babe, we are talking about almost 25 flights of stairs..” Kira mumbled.
“30 actually” Salvador chipped in.
“Thanks for trying to make it more difficult” Michael fired at him.
“And its all for this witch” Kira pointed at Chuiy, yeah I’m still working on the short name to be calling her, lol.
Kira finally stepped out and everyone breathed in a sigh of relief. This girl is a whole bundle of trouble mehn.
