Feranmi felt her heart slam crazily in her chest as her face into pressed into someone's body. The scent waffed into her nose, a scent that over the last few weeks, she knew only belonged to Seth.Everyone went quiet at the interruption. Most of them had shocked looks on their faces.
"You should know where to touch when fighting" Seth said as he dragged the man towards himself by grabbing his left hand.
"You used this hand right?" He asked and without waiting for his answer snapped his wrist. The man let out a shrilling scream immediately.
But Seth didn't release him. He grabbed his neck and snapped it in half.
Seth turned and Feranmi clung to his body still scared shitless.
"Its Pentecost!" Someone yelled.
Seth didn't stop as he turned to Dotun "Go pay the fine" he said as he walked towards a secluded area and dropped Feranmi.
Tears were already running down Feranmi's cheeks as she started punching Seth.
"You jerk! Were you satisfied to watch me almost die? Because of you I almost got molested" Feranmi said as Seth sighed.
"You bastard" Feranmi said as her hands slid down Seth's chest. She had been really scared right now.
Dotun walked up to them and nodded towards Seth.
"Take her to the car" Seth said as he turned and walked up the staircase with guys in black suits guarding.
They all looked at Seth with respect. Seth pushed the metal door open revealing a slightly old man in glasses.
"You looked really scared huh?" The man asked as he burst into laughter.
Seth glared at him as he slumped to the floor. His heart was still beating crazily in his chest.
"She's safe. Stop panicking" the old man said as Seth sat on the floor.
"I'm not receiving your bribe today. You'll fight as fine" the old man added as Seth rolled his eyes at him.
"Using your cousin to make money, what kind of Uncle are you?" Seth bellowed at him as the old man stood up and walked towards Seth who had risen to his feet.
"How's your brother?" He asked and Seth sneered.
"He's doing fine" he replied.
"That's the best fighter for now, 167 wins, 2 losses. Don't kill him. Just play around" the old man said patting Seth affectionately on the shoulder.
Feranmi watched Dotun silently "Did he do this to you too? Has he been always this cruel?" She asked.
Dotun regarded her silently before laughing silently "What do you think camp Eight is?" Dotun asked.
Feranmi swallowed her saliva. She really had no idea, they were just a bunch of cool agents.
"Camp Eight is the most dangerous camp of all the camps. The most dangerous missions are given to us. Missions that could cost our lives" Dotun said as Feranmi gulped.
"Yes, I was also kicked into the ring by him. But I was glad he did at that time, unlike you I narrowly missed death and saved him his one million naira and added one more to it" Dotun said.
"Who do you think Seth is? What kind of person do you think he is?" Dotun asked icily.
"Do you think he's a cruel person? Being a camp eight means on any mission you can die. When I mean die, you could be six feet under in a matter of seconds. This is no freaking movie. What death looks like he just showed it to you. That's all" Dotun said.
"I... " Feranmi started.
"I told you all that crap so get that inside your fucking head and digest it!" Dotun yelled at her and Feranmi jumped back startled.
He got into the car and looked out his face cold. Feranmi didn't notice his uneven breathing. Seth got into the car few minutes later, his clothes slightly rumpled.
Dotun gave him a nod before igniting the car and driving off. The car was quiet as they drove back to the base.
At the underground ring, it looked like it was midnight yet it was only around 12pm in the afternoon.
Everyone watched as Feranmi walked inside with bloodied clothes. Feranmi's head was ringing with Dotun's words as she walked to her room. She peeled off her clothes and stepped into the shower.
When she was assigned to Camp eight, she was extremely happy that she would be friends with real cool agents.
How could Dotun be glad that Seth pushed him into such a ring? Was he crazy?
If he had also pushed Dotun, that's means everyone of them had been inside the ring? Even that annoying Maria?
Feranmi scrubbed her breasts with extra force as if trying to wash the man's hands off her. She still remembered his disgusting face.
She changed back to her uniform and walked around the base. She walked to Tat's office and walked in.
"Senior Tat" Feranmi called as Tat rushed to her.
"Are you okay?" Tat asked.
"Yes" Feranmi replied confused.
"I don't know why they put you in camp eight" Tat murmured.
"Huh?" Feranmi asked as Tat shook his head.
"Practice more okay?" Tat said and Feranmi awkwardly nodded her head.
"Where's Captain Frost?" Feranmi asked.
"Look for Camp Three, that's his camp" Tat replied as Feranmi nodded and walked out of the room.
She soon found Camp Three. She walked in and waved to all of them.
"Are you okay? The fight must have taken a toil on you?" Li asked and Feranmi looked at him surprised.
"Senior Li, how did you know?" Feranmi asked.
"You are in camp Eight, its only normal you go there" Li replied as Frost beckoned to her to come closer.
Feranmi walked towards him and sat down.
"You seem okay" Frost said and Feranmi shook her head.
"I'm anything but okay. The feeling for being so near to death is still vague in my memory" Feranmi said.
"I know" Frost said.
"That crazy jerk. I hate him" Feranmi spat out and Frost wore a small smile.
Feranmi suddenly turned towards Frost as she remembered what Dotun said.
"Captain Frost, what kind of person is Captain Pentecost?" Feranmi asked.
