EPISODE 40

Effe did not pause to think.

She raised her leg and stomped on Steve’s foot, and as his arms slackened around her, she spun and hit him on the side of his head with her handbag, and he went cartwheeling backward into a stall of flowers!

Effe ran out of the flower shop and looked around desperately.

She saw him, striding away from her far in the distance, heading towards a black car, his steps long and sure.

A tall, huge man, wearing all black with a cap, and his back was to her.

“Eden!” her voice rang out desperately as she felt her heart kicking with desperation and pain. “Stop, please! Eden! Don’t do this, Eden, please!”

 

She saw his body jerking as her voice rang out.

And then, crazily, he seemed to double his steps as he moved towards the car.

Effe ran desperately towards him, shouting herself hoarse as she began to feel dizzy.

“Stop him!” she screamed. “Stop that man, please! Somebody, please stop him!”

He was too far away, so far away!

Oh, Lord, no!

What’s wrong with him?

How could he do this? Didn’t he know the pain he was giving her? Didn’t he know how much it was driving her crazy not seeing him, not knowing him, and yet loving him so much? How could he be such a coward?

 

She had to stop him, but he was simply too far! He could be gone before she gets there!

Her phone!

She would take a picture with the phone, get the registration number and let Rupert run it through his systems!

Effe stopped running and fumbled into her bag for her phone!

Behind her, Steve had come out and was running towards her.

“Effe, stop!” he screamed. “What’s wrong with you?”

Effe’s trembling hand could not close on her phone quickly enough, and then she saw the big man opening the door of his car and tossing in the package in his hand first.

And then, incredibly, a huge, black, savage muscle of a dog blasted out of the car and came tearing down the stretch towards Effe!

 

It was the biggest, heaviest dog Effe had ever seen!

It was a savage, a two hundred pounds monster full of strength, muscle and sinew! A devil dog for a devil man…and it was coming straight at Effe!

The man tried to reach out and hold the dog, but it was gone, covering the ground like a bullet! The huge man hesitated, and then he got into the car.

The sight of the monster dog barrelling down the stretch sent people screaming and running from it with horror! Steve, who was almost on Effe, took one look at the dog and made a sudden turn. He fled desperately towards the protection of the flower shop.

Effe stopped with her hand in her bag, watching with confusion as the dog came towards her huge, limbering gaits, its huge tongue sticking out, its eyes on her.

Goodness…was it coming to attack her?

 

Just as Effe was about to turn away and flee into the shop, the dog let out an ecstatic bark as its huge tail wagged with delight.

“Dezzy?” Effe whispered with shock, and when the dog barked again, she knew it was her friend. “Oh, Dezzy!”

She smiled, and laughed, and cried at the same time as the happy dog came towards her, and she was aware that the black car was moving away fast, around a bend, and then it was gone!

Effe’s heart screamed with pain!

So close, Lord!

Eden had been that close, and she had lost him again, oh Lord!

What was wrong with that coward?

What, in the name of God, was wrong with Eden?

How could he leave her in such a pained state, and flee from her even though Dezzy had left him?

 

The dog leaped and hit Effe, knocking her off her feet and slamming her to the ground!

“Dezzy, you mad dog!” she cried with delight as the dog licked her face and made whimpering sounds of delight. Effe struggled and sat up. Dezzy was performing an odd dance, jerking his body into arcs and spirals as his tail wagged crazily, licking her face and wrapping his body around her.

He smelled so clean, looked so beautiful and healthy.

Effe Kedem closed her eyes and touched the dog’s monster head, running her hands across his neck and shoulders as she used to, and the dog responded with happy growls and barks.

Tears fell down Effe’s closed eyes as she hugged the huge dog.

 

“Oh, Dezzy!” she cried painfully. “He left you too, that savage beast of a man! But I’m glad I took his dog from him! I’ll take everything from him until he comes pursuing me! Who the hell does he think he is? Does he know the number of men chasing me, and he’s bluffing me like that! Bastard Eden! Bastard Eden! He will come running for me soon!”

Dezzy whimpered when he saw her tears, and then he sat back on his haunches with his tongue lolling out and barked happily.

“I missed you too, Dezzy!” Effe said with a sigh. “And I miss that fucking master of yours!”

As Effe tried to get to her feet, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, a horrible strain that made her breathless immediately, almost making her pass out, and then a wave of severe headache hit her so that she put her hand to her forehead and moaned softly.

The ground swayed alarmingly, and she put her hands down to prevent herself from collapsing.

“Effe!” came Roger’s voice from far off. “Are you alright? Is that dog attacking you?”

 

Effe tried to speak, but the pain in her heart kept soaring, and she was suddenly terrified! Was she having a heart-attack?

She felt so weak as she grabbed her heart region and moaned with pain.

Dezzy was whimpering miserably now.

“It’s okay, Dezzy,” Effe said weakly and held the dog. “Let them come near, please. I need help!”

A few brave guys saw her sweating badly and collapsing on the floor, and they came to her side. This gave Steve the courage to come around too, and saw Effe lying flat on the ground with sweat all over her face.

He held her with fear.

This was another symptom of the damn venom!

 

Had she not been cured?

Oh, Lord, don’t let this happen again!

“Help me get her into my car!” Steve shouted. “Please, need to send her to the hospital!”

Eventually, they carried Effe to his car and put her in the back seat…and that monster dog jumped in right beside her, and snarled dangerously when Steve tried to drag him down.

So, Steve Hollison drove to the Eden Hospital with Effe lying weakly in the back and that monster dog keeping watch over her!

***

Eyram, who had resumed work, was seeing off Rupert to his car when Steve’s car came roaring to the entrance of the hospital.

Rupert had surprised her with lunch, and as they stood conversing and watching with mild interest as Steve opened the back door, the huge dog jumped out from the car and barked anxiously.

Rupert scowled deeply.

“Hell’s gate!” he said instantly.

“What, my love?” Eyram asked as she put a hand on his shoulder.

“That’s the dog, the one with the Eden guy when we went there that night,” Rupert said grimly.

 

“Eden?” Eyram said sharply. “Are you sure?”

“Yes,” Rupert said and began moving towards Steve. “That’s the dog. And there’s someone in the back.”

“Please, help me!” Steve cried as he pulled Effe’s arms.

“That’s Effe!” Eyram shouted with sudden alarm and rushed forward. “Get the paramedics, Rupe! Effe! Lord, what happened to her?”

And as she rushed to attend to her sister, Rupert beckoned to two paramedics near the main entrance of the hospital.

***

Luckily, Doctor Gabriel Anaman was on duty, and he let them send Effe to his consulting room immediately. The giant dog would not keep away from Effe, snarling dangerously at anyone that tried to shoo him.

Evidently, he was protecting the lady, and no one dared to say otherwise.

As Steve and Rupert waited in the main room, Doctor Anaman, his nurse and Eyram went behind the drawn curtain to attend to Effe, and the dog squatted right by, watching carefully.

Rupert extended his hand towards Steve.

 

“Rupert Henderson,” he said genially. “Eyram’s fiancé.”

Steve nodded and shook the white man’s hand.

“Roger Mann,” he said with a smile. “Trying to be Effe’s fiancé.”

Rupert nodded and his eyes scanned Steve’s face carefully as they began to converse softly.

It took about thirty minutes for the doctor to revive Effe.

He finally helped Effe to sit up and touched her cheek gently.

“Effe Kedem,” the doctor said with a kind smile. “You always give me a scare!”

“Ef!” Rammy said and hugged her sister tightly. “Oh, Ef! Stop doing these fucking things to me, girl!”

 

Effe hugged her sister tightly as she tried to stop her tears.

“Oh, Rammy!” she cried. “I saw him today! I saw Eden! He did not stop. He sped away and his dog came out of the car and was happy to see me! Eden…he left me, Rammy. He just sped away!”

“That fool is a coward, Ef!” Eyram said harshly as she held her sister.

“Don’t insult him, you bitch!” Effe whispered. “I love him.”

As the sisters laughed, Dezzy gave a bark of relief, and his huge tail thumped the floor.

“Oh, Dezzy!” Effe said and tried to get down.

 

“That brute was protecting you like a demon!” Eyram said.

Effe smiled.

“Yes, protecting his master’s love,” she said. “That’s sweet of him, isn’t it?”

Eventually, they went back to sit in Doctor Anaman’s office. The dog stayed close to Effe and she ran her hand over his huge head and waited anxiously as the doctor washed his hands inside the washroom, and eventually came out to sit thoughtfully behind his desk.

“What happened to me, doctor?” Effe asked softly. “That pain in my heart scared me. Surely, it wasn’t anything near a stroke, was it?”

Doctor Anaman shook his head and smiled.

 

“Sudden rush of blood to your head knocked you out, Effe,” he said gently. “Too much activity, too much stress, too much anxiety, Effe. You must try to relax, my dear, and take things very easy. Remember, your body is still recovering from the attack you survived recently, and you’re not all that strong yet. So, please, stop stressing yourself too much, and take a lot of rest until your immune system builds up. You need your strength, dear, especially for the baby.”

And they all froze, literally.

It was Steve who spoke first.

“What, Doc?” he asked in a voice that sounded like a squeak. “What did you just say?”

Doctor Anaman smiled and looked at Effe.

 

“Oops, sorry, Effe,” he said with an embarrassed smile. “I thought you already informed him. He’s the father, right?”

Effe’s lips trembled, and her whole body trembled as she put a hand to her lips, her eyes dazed, her breathing irregular.

“Uncle Gabe?” she whispered. “Wh-what a-a-are you sa-sa-saying?”

The doctor raised his eyebrows.

“Two heartbeats, my dear,” he said with sudden shock. “You don’t know you’re pregnant?”

“Pregnant?” Steve cried with sudden shock as he jumped to his feet. “No, no, no! That cannot be true! That cannot be bloody true! What?”

 

Eyram looked at him with confusion.

“Who’s this guy, Ef?” she asked with concern. “Behaving weirdly.”

Effe was scowling at Steve.

“Roger?” she whispered as tears gathered in her eyes. “What’s wrong with you?”

“You fucking bitch!” Steve screamed with agony as tears came to his eyes. He raised his hand as if to hit Effe, and the dog jumped towards him with a dangerous snarl, and Steve stepped back with terror.

“What’s wrong with you?” Effe asked with confusion. “Roger?”

“Oh, rest in hell, Effe!” Steve cried painfully as tears of great pain fell down his face. “For five years, Effe! Five bloody years I waited for you, and you pretended to be sick! To be a damn psychologically-impaired woman! And you were with that bastard for how long? Two weeks? And you slept with him? Got pregnant? How could you do this to me? How on earth could you do this to me, Effe?”

 

His pain was so pure, so brazen, so complete that Effe just stared at him with horror.

“Steve?” she whispered with great horror.

“Yep!” Rupert said softly and laughed. “I suspected it. Mr. Steve Hollison out of his mask…and staring at Karma!”

 

“You shut your fucking gob!” Steve screamed in agony as he pointed at Rupert, and then he turned to Effe with sheer agony on his face. “My heart is tearing apart, Effe! I was bad to you, and I hurt you, but I realized I love you! I love only you, Effe! God, I paid back the money I took from you into your account! And came back to make you mine, to love you for real, to make up for what I did! To wait another twenty years if that is what it will take to make love to you! And all this while you were pretending, weren’t you? Oh, Effe, how could you hurt me like this? How could you break my heart? Just two weeks, Effe! Two weeks, and you were sleeping with that bastard in the bush?”

 

Tears silently fell down Effe’s cheeks as she ran a hand slowly down her flat belly, and when she looked at Steve, he saw the face of an angel, the face of a woman at peace, the face of a man in love, the face she had never seen when she was with him.

“He’s not a bastard, Steve, or whoever you are,” Effe said tremulously as she wiped tears from her face. “You thought you broke me, but I met a man, a wonderful man, the kind of man you would never be in a million years, Steve! He didn’t have to struggle, and I didn’t even feel a single pain. He touched me, and I simply melted and opened up to him…and, oh Lord, he made love to me in a way you will never be capable of, Steve, or Roger, oh whoever you are!”

 

Steve screamed in agony and rammed a fist into the wall.

“Oh, fuck!” Rupert cried with horror and cringed as he heard Steve’s knuckles snapping.

Steve screamed and held his hand, and he made a dash towards Effe, but the dog leaped forward, and Steve took a step back. He looked at Effe with pure agony.

“Ahh, Effe!” he whispered, his soul shattered. “How could you do this to me? How could you say this to me? Oh, Lord! You’ve broken my heart, Effe Kedem! Oh, Jesus! I’ll never forgive you for this, Effe! Never, ahhh!”

Effe and Eyram looked at each other and giggled.

 

“That bush doctor fucked you?” Eyram asked and began to laugh with uncontrollable glee as tears of happiness fell down her cheeks. “And knocked you up? Made you pregnant? For the first time, with no pain whatsoever? His dick cured you?”

Effe giggled as she ran her hand over her belly again.

“I’m going to be a mother, to Eden’s child,” she whispered in an unsteady voice, and she did not even glance at the heartbroken Steve.

“Ahh, Effe, ahhhhhh!” Steve moaned as he shook his head dazedly.

 

And Steve Hollison, player and murderer of innocent women, knew a pain so raw that it almost literally tore his heart apart. In one horrifying moment, he stared at the horrible face of unrequited love for the first time. He lived the agony that only a broken heart could experience, and his soul shredded in his heart as he took blind steps towards the door and fled, weeping, into a future of emotional pain!

Rupert stood up.

“Gotta arrest that guy,” he said grimly.
