Nne ndovha ndo ima ndo gogodela luvhondo, Xolani o vha o ima tsini hanga. Sticks ovha o dzula kha tshidulo tshau mona o di geda  nga maanda, Javas o vha o dzula kha bar stool ye yavha i henefho. We were waiting to see what Svig had in store for Detective Munro, ndi vhona unga rothe rovha rina mihumbulo minzhi-minzhi as to what will happen to this guy. Svig o mbo di doba something that looked like a remote control, zwi screen hezwila zwo mbo di funga zwothe.

Svig:"let the game begin" Screen tshovha tshi tshi khou sumbedza an empty  room

Svig:'due to the fact that it took my guys a little longer to get hold of your family, i couldn't get them here on time and therefore not all the action will take place here but we’re gonna be enjoying it from the comfort of this very room" he smiled

Munro:"wh...what? You have my family?" he was shoked and terrified at the same time

Svig:"uhm yeah i thought you had figured that out already my man, i told you, there is nothing that Svig can't do and absolutely no where Svig can't go so all i had to do was make several phone calls and booooom i have them"

Munro:"please dont hurt them, please Svig i will do anything, i will work for you please, i......i can even quit my job and sell drugs for you" Svig o mbo di devha lifhere henefho

Svig:"mhm touching......but isn't it a little bit too late for that? I did gave you a chance to be on my payroll remember? And what did you do? Throw it all back at my face and as if that wasn't disrespectful enough, you even go as far as trying to bring me down"

Munro:"i have learned my lesson, i promise....please just let them go.....you can do anything to me it’s fine but don't hurt them"

Svig:"learn your lesson? I haven't even started teaching you yet.....as for doing anything to you....well i will do that but it won't be as much fun as watching you suffer on the inside.....nothing hurt more than watching the one's you love suffer"

ok as much as na nne ndovha ndi tshi khou toda u vhona Munro a tshi tambudziwa ngauri o toda u mpfarisisa, i honestly didn't support the idea of torturing his family, i mean they had nothing to do with it. Zwifana na musi Thembu a tshi khou tambudzelwa milandu yanga zwi vha zwi si zwavhudi na luthihi, ndo vha ndi tshi kho tou rabela uri Svig avhe a tshi kho tou shushedza Munro fhedzi. We were all looking at the screen and Munro was busy begging. A guy appeared kha room yeneyo ye ravha ro i lavhelesa, ndo vha ndi sa mudivhi na luthihi,

Svig:"bring them in" Svig oralo o vhea founu ndevheni, that guy na ene o vha a na founu

the guy walked out and came back with a boy who was about 9 or 10 years old and a girl who was about 15 or 16......there was another guy with them. My heart sank, i didn't want anything to happen to them, ndo vha ndo vha tshuwela. Svig o ya a kwatamela kha Vho-Munro

Svig:"do they look familiar?"

Munro:"please Svig i am begging you please, i will do anything, just kill me, i know i deserve it just don't hurt my kids"

Svig:"you have no idea how much i enjoy having people beg me for their lives or their families lives, i just enjoy it.....go on and beg, it makes me happy" I looked at him and thought to myself.....this guy was mentally ill serious, tshituhu tshi ngafha-ngafha ngoho?

Munro:"i will quit my job and work for you, i will do anything and i mean anything you want me to do"

Svig:"ok this is what i want you to do.....keep quiet, relax and enjoy the movie" Munro o vha a tshi kho tswimila-tswimila henefho a tshi khou luvhelela. Svig oya phanda hawe a swika a imisa munwe muthihi signaling for him to keep quiet. Munro o ri o no fhumula Svig a lavhelesa screen

Svig:"uhm SK..... si ready mta kababa" ndovha ndo tshuwa khathihi na u toda u divha uri naa Svig u khou toda u vha ita mini. Ndo lavhelesa X we avha o ima tsini na nne, o mbo di ntsedza a gogodedza thoho yawe nga shada langa

X:"i don't wanna see this" he whispered

Me:"me too"

X:"uhm boss c...ca...can we go out....like we can just wait outside while you do this" o mbo di zikulwa nga he liya lito shame, nne ndo mbo di sendela thungo nyana uri a si tsha n gogodela hafhu lito lovha li khou ofhisa lune i couldn't bare it.

Svig:"X uxabanga u kuthi siya dlala apha? Huh? Ndifuna ni bukele le nto so that you can learn, do you hear me? WATCH AND LEARN"

Xolani o mbo di tavhanya a tenda nga thoho, ndo musedza na ene a ntsedza a dzungudza thoho. O dovha a sendela kha nne a ededza thoho yawe kha shada langa, nne ndo mbo di mufara khundu, damn i was scared to watch. The kids were crying, Svig na ene o dzula fhasi ra lavhelesa. We saw a guy walking over to the poor boy and slapped him so hard and he fell down. I closed my eyes, the girl walked over to the brother, a swika a gwadama henefho a tshi khou lingedza u mu fhumudza. And then nda mbo di vhona heila authi i tshiya kha inwe corner henefho he havha huna dzi tools, mashudu mavhuya o mbo di tou doba tshibonda. I know it sounds crazy musi nditshiri mashudu mavhuya, but honestly tshibonda ndikhwine tshi nga si vha thukhukanye. O swika a ralo urwa hokula kusidzana, damn i wanted to die, i wanted to cry, i didn't understand why Svig ovha a khou ita hezwi. And then the guy took an electric torch, ndi khou amba heila ya u tshoka

Munro:"Svig please...Svig...Svig" he cried like a baby

Javas:"uhm boss they are just kids"

Svig:"so?"

Me:"can we just cut them some slack and torture their father?" Svig looked at Munro

Svig:"we are going to torture him too but watching his kids suffer is good for his heart"

Sticks:"mfo please, we are all parents here, except for X of course, please don't torture the kids"

Svig:"oww so you are ganging up on me now?"

X:"no no no no we are not doing that, we are just suggesting"

Svig:"owk i will leave the kids for now, but that means more pain for this oak right here"

Sticks:"i can also help with that"

Svig:"so i will leave the kids for now...but then...what do i do with you?"

Svig o ya a doba inwe tsimbi ino sumbedza i tshi lemela vhukuma, ndo divhudzisa uri anga vha a khou toda uitani ngayo. O mbo di swika a giginya zwikunwe zwa Munro we avha a songo ambara zwienda. I heard the man scream like a child once again. Nne na X ro mbo di tou nana u nambatelana thovhela, zwenezwi ri tshe ro tshuwa nga u ralo o mbo di dovha a mu giginya hafhu. Damn the guy could't scream anymore, o vha a tshi vho sokou lila nga inwe ndila ine ndi kho tou balelwa na u i talutshedza.

Svig:"that was for getting Jay arrested....i am sorry my man but when i am done with you, you might not be able to walk anymore, let alone make kids...at least you have 3....that's if the 2 will still be alive tomorrow"

Munro:"forgive me" he sobbed

Svig:"time for smiling and playing with you is over, you alnost got me arrested and got my house searched, Do you have any idea how disrespectful that is? A man of my title having police all over his house?" o ri u ralo a mu posa nga mulatela wo imaho ngauri.

Svig walked to the far corner and came back with something that looked like a drill, hu tounga ndi yone, i am not really good with tools but heila ungari ndi yone. I closed my eyes and i heard the machine making a noise and Munro screaming even louder, malofha anga o vha a tshi khou itisa zwinwevho. Ndo bonyolola lito lithihi nda lavhelesa, ahg damn, ovha a tshi khou phula buli kha mulenzhe wa tshanda tsha ula. Malofha o mbo di nzuruma a tshi bva na zwenezwo. Nne ndo mbo di thoma u tetemela, i couldn't take it anymore, i let go of Xolani who was now holding me so tight. Ndo lavhelesa Sticks nda wana a tshi khou smiler, i honestly wanted to slap him, ndi amba uri u khou takadzwa ngani. Javas na ene ovha a sa khu vhuya a vhonala a na thaidzo. Ndo mbo di gidima ndaya nda doba plastic ye yavha i ntha ha tafula isina tshithu nda tanza. Ndo ri ndi tshe ndo kwatama ngauralo X a gidima a da a ndzhavhulela plastic nae a tanza, ndo vha ndi tshi kho tou tama uri Svig a ri ri tuwe. But he didn't, o mbo di tou actor unga ha ri vhoni. Munro o mbo di vhofhololwa na tshidulo. O mbo di fara mulenzhe a tshi khou ralo u lila munna wa vhathu.

Svig:"i aint done with you yet....you said i should do anything remember?"

Sticks:"Can...can i also...you know" Svig lo mbo di muzwondolola

Sticks:"please, i mean he is also the reason why i am injured" Svig looked at him

Svig:"ok, impress me" Sticks let out that wicked smile and i just knew what he was about to do.....Grender. Ndo mbo di dzhavhula plastic nda dovha nda tanza futhi. I was feeling so sick, muvhili hoyu wo vha u sitsha pfiwa. Sticks o swika a doba grendara a ralo u i bvumisa

Me:"boss please andikwazi, ndxela u hamba togo" i begged

Svig:"i can see that you boys are seriously struggling, hambani" he shouted at us, nne na Xolani ro mbo di bva nga luvhilo. Nne ndovha ndo fara plastic heila. Ro ri ro no swika hangeno sitting room ndaya nda vhofha plastic nda posa dustbin

X:"ahggg dammit...that was some evil stuff right there...s******t" ovha o dzula fhasi kha tiles o gogodela sofa a tshi khu femela ntha, nne ndoya ndadzula tsini nae

Me:"damn bro....i don't think i am ever gonna get used to that...let alone do it" na nne ndovha ndi tshi khou femeleka. Xolani o mbo di shuvhama fhasi

X:"i am tired Thembu, this s***t ain't fun anymore huh uh"

Me:"tell me about that"

X:"do you know what i am thinking?"

Me:"what?"

X:"when this whole Munro saga blow over and Tshili and junior are back from the hospital....we should take a nice holiday and go somewhere bro"

Me:"perfect idea...just relaxt for few days"

X:"and classes are starting tomorrow"

Me:"ahhg i will start attending next week"

X:"i am not sure if i will be ready next week"

Me:"i don't see the reason to study anymore, it’s not like we are ever gonna have a normal professional life, si ma gintsa xa"

X:"that’s another problem and it’s not like we are starving"

Me:"exactly"

X:"i wonder when we’re gonna meet our new boss"

Me:"i hope he is not Svig's clone you know...at least the guy should be a bit friendly"

X:"friendly? You lose your friendliness when you are climbing up the ladder of gangsterism....the higher you go the more you wanna be feared"

Me:"we are living a kak life"

X:"kak life" ro sedzana ra sokou dzungudza thoho. After what felt like an hour or more, Svig, Sticks na Javas vho mbo di bvelela, rine ro vha ro no tou dzula ntha ha masofa. Svig ovha o khakhathela malofha

Svig:"gotta take a quick shower...and Sticks you can take the second door to your right and wash off that blood" ndo musedza nda pfa ndi tshi khou ofha, this guy anga u vhulaya nga zwanda zwawe

Sticks:"sure boss" Svig na Sticks vho mbo di ngala-ngala, Nne na Xolani ro mbo di lavhelesa Javas

Me:"did they kill him?"

Javas:"nahh"

X:'ow"

Javas:"but he is as good as dead, he looks terrible"

Me:"don't explain what really happened when we were gone please"

As much as i was what you can call a gangster, slaughtering people was not my thing. Ndi amba uri ni shidzha hani muthu ngoho? Hezwo ndi pfa uri zwinga m balela. Nga murahu nyana Sticks o mbo di bvelela

Sticks:"eish V boy and X? Ahhh boys you missed out hey, you know i went to him with that grinder neh"

Sticks:"but-"

Me:"huh uh sticks thanks" Sticks o mbo di fhumula. Nga murahu nyana Svig o mbo di bvelela. He was now wearing a track pants ya black na vest na ma sleepers

Svig:"so we sorted Munro out, i still have his family and i will see tomorrow whether to let them go or what.....V boy and X, what happened to you guys in there?"

Svig:"we don't need specialists here, we need generalists...you need to be able to do anything"

X:"ok"

Svig:"owk?"

Me:"with time" Svig o mbo di dzungudza thoho

Svig:"Jay is going for a bail hearing this Tuesday, so we should all dress smart and go there to support him....don't look like gangsters, look smart"

Javas:"ok boss"

Svig:"i did my best to try to bribe the judges and all that but it seems like these guys are in to us so non of them agreed to coorperate, so we’re gonna have to just wait for the hearing"

Sticks:"owk boss"

Sticks:"i wanna see this guy"
