The dogs are barking indistinctly, the local whores are starting to close their businesses. On the other side a drug deal is brewing. It's the notorious Guka's mafia. They are known for their inhumane and ruthless barbaric acts. Daring to double cross them is like booking a date with the Lucifer himself. Nobody ever tries to and if you do, you cease to breath.
Armed with m16 rifles, general purpose machine gun (GPMG), Beretta pistols and several grenades, a squad of heavily trained mercenaries are awaiting orders from their boss. His name is Guka, 70 years of age. He has the right connections as well as experience in the world of narcotics. With bloodshot eyes and mean face, you'd probably think he's the devil's next of kin. His two sons Kim and Mike are part of the 20 mercenaries. The two are constantly competing on who will be the kingpin after Guka retires.
As the cocks start to crow, the much awaited phone call rings. Kim picks it up, "hallo papa," he says. On the other end is Guka. "Nawatumia coordinates ya hio warehouse tunafanyia deal," he replies with a hoarse voice. "Okay papa," Kim replies. As they stare into the darkness the phone beeps and the coordinates are finally there. It is an encrypted satellite phone and the details and call logs cannot be accessed by anyone, with an exception of the US of course. The Americans are too nosy.
The squad, Guka's mafia gets onto their business cars. Powerful cars, a BMW and two range rover sport cars. All of them are bullet proof. Kim takes one range rover and Mike takes the other as one of the mercenaries gets behind the wheel of the BMW. Kim leads the motorcade. They drive into the outskirts of Eldoret town until they arrive at an old abandoned warehouse. It looks like it was built during the World War 2, a rusty roof and falling wooden walls. It is 4.am; their arrival is marked by screeching tires and the sound of army boots as they alight.
As they get into the warehouse, they are welcomed by Ras who is the leader of Razinga mafia. "Well, well look who is here...." Ras breaks the silence. Nobody replies, they stare into each other with stern and cold faces. "Leta mali tufanye biashara", Mike speaks for the first time. He is rarely a man of many words. His world is more of action. He shoots like a maniac but at the same time maintaining the accuracy of an American sniper. Ras laughs hysterically. His laughter is like the one in most Nigerian "ghost laugh scene" movies. He signals for the goods to be brought. They are instantly produced in black suitcases, Ras opens the suitcases wide open, inside the cases are white substances (cocaine). Mike moves towards the cocaine but is stopped with the barrel of a heckler and kotch rifle. "Pesa kwanza" Ras says. Mike backs off. Nobody has ever intimidated them before. Maybe Ras is going to be the first and last.
Kim signals for the money to be brought. One of the mercenaries brings a briefcase and snaps the lid open. Dollars, the money in the case is full of thousands. They exchange the cases and as the other gang counts the money, they taste the cocaine. Its fine, high grade they usually call it. They pack the kilos into their car and vroom.... They drive away but they are going nowhere, nobody intimidates them. That is their principle. After driving for 200 meters, mike who is leading the motorcade stops the car and all of them understand the drill. They hop out and cock their guns. They have to teach Ras a lesson.
Arriving in style, gunshots in the air; it's Iraq in Africa. Mike throws a grenade and they start firing at Razinga mafia. The razinga's do not hesitate as they too have guns. Blood is spilling everywhere, grunts and cries can be heard all in the mix of gunshots. At last Ras is cornered; they want him alive so that they kill him painfully. Ras definitely knows about Guka's mafia and of their ruthless torture methods. A gun to his head and bang, his brains spill out. He knows suicide is better. "Shit", Mike curses. He would have loved to watch him cry. They take their money back and well, business has never been as good. They get the cocaine free of charge and their reputation is upheld. As everyone else wake up to go to work, it's their turn to sleep.
