Those Moves

Written in response to: "Write a story that includes the line “You can see me?”"

Black Crime Fiction

They moved like crazy. Nah. That might be an understatement. Not like, but for sure crazy. Buffers are nothing to them, they jump any wall you dream to erect as a buffer, or whatever you call it. It has no effect on their movement. They are on race for money.

When their mission is to see you, observe you in action when you believe no one is watching, they might start getting the real idea of who you might be. The problem with reining people in is that some people even like nature tend to behave differently when they believe they are not being watched to when they know they are under observation.

Some these days by nature are intruders. What do you believe will be the result when some are promised millions to violate your privacy just to keep eyes on you and report back? For sure, common sense will fly out the window and that is when you can tell the organized from the not so organized easily. Money, like the saying goes, is a social lubricant and when in large enough amounts can be a means of maneuverability and can be used as a weapon of destabilization.

That had been the fate Mr. Okoye was handed over by some that believe money can open any door no matter what that door is made of. But then, how will it open a door that doesn't exist in the first place where you are knocking for attention? Some places don't just have doors or anything that opens but a plain wall. When you are knocking on such a place, how will it open in a million years?

That was the problem, not even a problem but an experience Mr. Okoye returned to Afougwu community after being away for almost two decades. Story has it that the people he was with for that period with their different culture and mentality on how things are done and how they view and read people had believed in that idea of money not having a known weakness. They refer to it as having the ability water has to wear away opposition over time. So, they had spent three years trying to corner Mr. Okoye with what they call reward but failed. When such thing is the kind with two edges, like one on suicide mission, how do you frame or reign a person in when logic and majority don't carry the day anymore in the world we live in?

That was the problem with having a way of figuring out truth in the world we live in these days. When logic or majority isn't what haves the last say, how are you not on suicide mission if you are not sure of what you are riffing on about someone else for money? That was how Mr.Okoye escaped the people after his neck for ten healthy good years only to find out that they moved their way of using money to rein people in to the leaders of his community believing they are more civilized than Mr. Okoye's people, that with money, things always happen overtime in the manner they want it happened. Only to be surprised that five years down the lane, that their nemesis is still standing. "with all that on offer?" Was what we heard coming from the race that believed it will be a dime a dozen issue in his community once money is involved. But many are gone already and many maim and yet, nothing has happened. So, how do you handle such an issue?

When life and money is involved like some say, the whole world is involved and once the whole world is involved, you might be commiting suicide or even be labelled accomplice to what you did not know its origin or even interested in that much.

Some had been treading softly and manipulating it our way have not worked as expected and when it kept dragging like it's doing here some will be tempted to flip regulations, rules governing engagement, and that is viewed as a sin of its own.

To think that the two forces cult group and police that runs the show as investigators had been the two confessing the same thing they are investigating since 2021 to date makes the whole thing hard to manipulate. Didn't they have it in their line of profession that when all the leads lead to zero end, the right thing to do is to follow the money?

If you want to know who is behind any idea or commotion, follow the money backwards to its proper origin and you arrive at the correct answer. Is it coincident that it had been the same people that put out the money that had been swearing to their innocence from that race to this race since using millions to investigate a dime is now a new thing on the block.

What type of fool will not know that a man that invested a hundred million to figure out fifty thousand is after something? When that thing he is after favors him, how will he not be the number one suspect or test not carried out to see how clean he had been?

People suddenly are showcasing that their logic is what holds the most sense. So when you pay an assassin to knock out your village man or neighbor that you are not the one that killed him but the trigger puller? In some people's opinion, two of you are guilty but like in the animal kingdom you are more guilty than the trigger puller who might have known or didn't even know the man gunned down. He just worked for money. But you?

That was what Mr Okoye had been telling them and they are throwing logic around talking bullshit they are not standing behind when subjected to scrutiny.

When people running the investigation are confessing of the same sin they are investigating and telling the world that they were under the influence of some forces stronger than them when they were confessing to be behind what they are the chief investigators, what does it take for you to know what is happening?

When investigation is now done spiritually, throwing away all the training given to the officers but resorting to magic that have been proven over and over to be manipulatable, the officers on many occasions have said they were manipulated by images that forced them to lie to their bosses, why put faith in it then? How do we know which is real and which is fake now? It's now the more you look, the less you see, mirage way we are into. Sukashit.

"You can see me?" Is now the latest in observing through the spirit. People sent to observe silently and report are now manipulating and attacking the same subject that doesn't even suppose to know he is being observed for money believing it's that easy. Retards, they doesn't even know whatever they come out with is subjected to test and scrutiny before anything else and "I made a mistake" isn't a good enough excuse then.

They are categories of not being seen in hanging around in spirit that we have seen that about different groups observing the same subjects doesn't even see themselves, yet, all are in spirit.

Well, the greedness of the fieldworkers or heaven has made sure that it can no longer be done our way any more so, better to call something, something and retire the money or send it back to the people that sent it to you unless if you are prone to suicide, then you can go ahead believe that those at the side of the divide don't know better than you. Those confessions spanning three years some induced by anger from the investigators on themselves isn't enough sign for you?

Mr.Okoye, from the look of things, I am sure I will be walking around here come 3025 heaven willing when some investigators will be missing.

Hi Philip.

Came back this week to write and read, as the prompt inspired me. I have been away working on a book project which is now published but not in the outlets yet. I have picked out a few things as I know you appreciate assistance. This is a great discussion on truth, lies and what lies between. It's a great reflection on what goes on. Maybe, more so, in your country. Very interesting. I enjoyed the read.

When logic or majority isn't what haves the last say. haves should read 'has'

"with all that on offer?" Was what we heard coming from the race that believed it will be a dime a dozen issue Try, ' "With all that on offer?" (would have been a comma here but a question mark should still be followed by a lower case letter after the speech.) was what we heard coming from the race that believed it would be a dime a dozen.'

Mr.Okoye, from the look of things, I am sure I will be walking around here come 3025 heaven willing when some investigators will be missing. - Mr. (gap)Okoye, from the look of things, I am sure I will be walking around here come 3025, heaven willing, when some investigators will be missing. (commas around 'heaven willing') Extra thoughts that are interesting but not necessary for the sentence should be enclosed in commas. However, be cautious because they can also make a sentence complex and more difficult to read.

All the best and sorry to have not read your stories of late.
