ALPHA SNIPY– A VALIANT MAFIA LORD

“I’m listening, Smith. What’s your condition?” I couldn’t help but ask him and to my surprise, my tensed-up body just seconds ago calmed down and my breathing regularized.

He smiled, walked in, and shut the door softly before strolling to me.

“My condition is modest Dagrin but you might or might not like it. I’ll say it anyway. All I desire is that you don’t go back to Lord Snipy. You can just do everything you have to do anyhow you could but don’t just go back to her till you’re fully healed. I’m not saying you are not permitted to move around. You are permitted but don’t just go back to her. Fight your war differently and in a hidden manner.”

“You started off nasty but ended up in a way I kinda like” I smiled. “What do you think about his condition Chris?”

“While he was still talking my mind began checking out some important facts and after considering them in a way that pleased me I’m left with nothing but to say that he has a great point. Think about it this way Master, your enemy will think that you all died in the blast and I’m sure Lord Snipy will also be in hiding now. So think about where you do things without anyone knowing you are the one. You are dead to your enemy so why not play dead.”

“I underestimated your smartness, Chris. Gosh! You are so blessed with wisdom and from just listening to your words I feel I already have an idea of the things I’ll be doing while waiting for my injuries to heal. I’ve drafted them into three parts. Firstly, I’ll have to send a drone that will be following my Mistress and Declan about. At least with that I’ll be getting vital information about all their activities and also make sure to secure their safety. Secondly, I’ll be carrying out those unknown things that they weren’t able to carry out. Then lastly, I’ll be going on a little questionnaire mission to know who our enemy truly is.”

“That’s a great plan, Dagrin. I believe we need to get to work already if we truly wanna achieve those. I admire you, man! I deeply do!”

“Thanks, Smith. Thanks for accepting to help me. I’ll surely reward you and your family for your act of kindness. And thank you for saving me. I won’t have been here if you didn’t.”

He squeezed my shoulders softly and gleamed. “Helping you is like an ache on my body, Dagrin. I’ve never felt so pushed to help anyone the way I’m pushed to help you. So I won’t even rest if I don’t. Some minutes, please. I need to grab something.”

I and Chris watched him leave with smiles on our lips and just as the door got closed Chris turned to me. He gave me the expression ‘I told you that it will work’ and winked at me.

“I owe you my life, Chris. You’ve proven in so many ways to be not just a helmsman but a friend and brother. You’re family now and I promise to take care of you and your family as one. I’ll also protect you all with my life.”

A droplet of tear slipped from his left eye and before I could fathom his next action he hugged me so tightly.

“Aww, this is so sweet. Dad is hugging uncle. Can you see that mum? It’s just so sweet! Aw!”

We instantly jerked apart at the sound of the little cute voice and our eyes fell on the two ladies who just walked in although one can be said to be just a kid for now.

“Good afternoon uncle! Good afternoon dad! We brought lunch for you guys!” Little Aria giggled and pointed at the two flasks in her mum’s hands.

“Wow! I never knew the day has gone this far. Can you believe it, Chris?”

“I’m as surprised as you are Master” he replied, chuckled, and turned to his wife and they gave each other that love eyes. Their heads started drawing close that I had to clap my hands to get them back cause I wasn’t ready to see that.

Little Aria made a taunting face at them and rushed into my arms.

“Good afternoon Sir Dagrin” Mrs. Victoria whispered flushing to the root of her hair.

“Good afternoon to you Victoria. It’s good to have you guys back and thanks for the food once again. If you don’t mind please you both should come to sit.”

She smiled, nodded, and tugged on her husband who followed put after glaring at me.

“Dad is kinda sad cause you scattered his plan to kiss mum. They do it a lot without caring about my presence. Ewww!” Little Aria whispered into my ear and I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“I just hope you both ain’t gossiping about me and my lovely wife. It just better not be.”

The door abruptly opened drawing our attention to it and our eyes dropped on wide-eyed Smith who had something I couldn’t recognize in his hand. “Please come to get me once you guys are done eating” he directed at Chris, smiled up at Victoria and Aria, and left.

TWO HOURS LATER…

“It’s time to stand now Dagrin cause I need to be sure I got it right” Doctor Smith muttered and with a hand each, he and Chris who was standing by my side helped me stand.

Victoria and little Aria left after spending thirty minutes with us and immediately after they did Chris called Smith in and after checking out some things on my body he left.

He came back an hour later, used thirty minutes to fix everything up, and here we are now all done.

“How do you feel? Let’s start from there.”

“I feel so ok. Like, it doesn’t even feel like I have anything on me. The only pains I’m feeling right now are the ones from my normal injuries.”

“Good. Now, walk, squat, and jog let me see.”

I did as he just said and he smiled. “Anything else I need to do Smith?”

“Not do but know. You are not allowed to run no matter the circumstance. You are also not allowed to remove it no matter what you wanna do. That means that you are going to bathe, sleep and do anything you want to do on it. Only a doctor can remove it so don’t even try unless you will be putting yourself in danger.”

“Is that all?”

“Yes, that’s all. You’ve been discharged by the way so you are free to go. Don’t forget to come back once you are done so I can get it off you and also check if your wounds have healed up. Please kindly pick up your medications from the pharmaceutical office and always make sure to take them. It will help heal you faster. Bye, and please be safe.”

“Thanks, Smith. You are loved.”

He bobbed and pulled me into a quick embrace before walking out.

“It’s time to go Chris. I need to purchase a drone and a laptop.”

Without muttering any other word, we walked out, picked up the medications as Smith said, and off we went into the hood.

PRESENT…

“After purchasing the drone and laptop as I wished, I started my initial plans, and thanks to Jah it all went smoothly.”

“The questionnaire mission led me to Nigeria and that was how I got to find out the sacred things about Lilith. That was also how I got to find out what could kill her.”

“After I was done with my questionnaire mission and was ready to come back to you guys cause I saw the danger ahead I went back to Smith and after removing the walking aid machine he carried out some random checkups on me and declared me healed.”

“I thanked him and called Chris and he was so happy for me. Without wasting a second I chased after you guys cause I already knew where you all will be. And well I saved the day.”

“What about Aria. Where is she now?” I asked staring at him with a sweet smile on my face.

“Aria is still in school. She should be graduating this year or next. It’s been a while I spoke with her though we often chat.”

“Hope you fulfilled your promise brother?” Declan asked.

“Of course. I didn’t just help Aria alone. I helped her Parents and also helped Smith and his family. They are all living well now.”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“Your story is quite an interesting one baby” Ariana drawled and pecked him earning a glare from me. She chuckled seeing my expression and winked at me. “So it’s your turn now to tell us your story Snipy though I already know some of it,” she said and I nodded.

I cleared my throat, took a sip of my wine, exhaled, and like everyone else shut my eyes.
