The Mechanic

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 9

I sat up quickly to examine the package better and mehn it’s full of cocaine. Quickly, I snatched it away from sparrows mouth because cocaine is poisonous for dogs if you don’t know.

I poured it out to the, only table left in the workshop and I touched it with my fingers and mehn it was dry soft and hot.

What the f–k is all of these about? First it was the door less cars, later a sobbing boss and now cocaine. Wait, COCAINE???

I mean what the f–k, was cocaine the deal here? Does it belong it Tony? What about the door less cars then? What about Tony’s guilty face?

I said a silent prayer to clear my head as I already had a immediate headache already.

“where the f–k did you get this? ” I questioned my dog pointing my finger with the substance on it to him.

Immediately, he put his nose to the ground and begin to sniff away.

Quickly, I followed him and we went out of the workshop then the the garage.

” psst!” I whispered him back before he, almost popped his, head through the, door.

I pondered on what I should first whether to go in or sniff around more. I peeped in but I couldn’t get a good view then an idea flashed up.

I walked the stairs silently so as not to pull eyes. My dog followed suit and we made it quietly to Tony’s office. It was past 8 pm now and I know Eva would be waiting also I feared if she didn’t see me, she might come over here.

Inside Tony’s office, I brought out my dim torch and waved it to and fro in search for nothing in particular. I tore through his drawers, shelves, desk, boxes, there really was nothing to hold unto. I sighed as I sat on his big chair and mehn I felt like a boss.

I raised my head up and I saw Tony’s picture on a big frame like reaching up and down like a door. It looked more like a door to me Coz it looked to real, funny, I sat back in my chair and began to wonder what possibly could be happening.

I rolled my fingers for a while staring at the books on Tony’s table and my gaze went to a small statue of the virigin Mary standing rooted on the table.

My dog, came over and jumped unto the table scattering books all over, I would have shooed him away but if there’s anyone who knows this office better then it’s him because he spent more than 5 years in this place with my dad during his days. I never visited or come here until when he died many years ago and I had to live with Tony.

Sparrow’s grunting and whining brought me back to life coz I was lost in my thought. What the f–k?

He was chewing away on the Virigin Mary!!!

Quickly I pushed him away but he persisted, I was worried I could get in trouble if the Virgin Mary became headless then that’s trouble for me!. I pushed him harder this time and he growled as if to bite me. F–k!, I grabbed a hammer and I almost went for his head when I heard a clicking sound from the Virgin Mary in sparrows mouth, I lowered the hammer to hear again and as Sparrow twisted again, the clicking sound came again.

“chill buddy” I said as I took over the Virgin Mary which was now almost headless. I carefully handled the statue, rolled it to the right side as she was facing right and then I rolled again and then the click stopped, and then the sound of a running chain ran down underneath and click, it stopped……

Gently, the giant frame which had Tony’s picture on it heaved to the side and it opened gently. Alas! It was a door after all but what the f–k again! What type of secret door is this, where does it lead to, what the hell is happening,… Who really is Tony, what the f–k was he hiding all the while,…

I took my torch and gently I and my dog went into the secret room…
