Episode 15 – Enemies at the Gate

The rain never stopped. It soaked the docks, the blood, the tension between Jay and Kunle. With guns aimed at them from every direction, the rival crew closed in like wolves circling prey.

For a second, the two brothers-turned-enemies didn’t move. Then Jay whispered under his breath: “Back-to-back. Just like old times.”

Kunle smirked, eyes burning. “One last ride, brother.”

The first shot cracked. Jay rolled forward, slicing a rival’s leg before finishing him with a brutal stab. Kunle moved like lightning, his knife finding throats, his fists breaking jaws. Bullets flew, wood splintered, bodies dropped into the rain.

But there were too many. For every rival they cut down, three more appeared. Soon their arms ached, their breath heavy, their blood mixing with the puddles around them.

Then sirens screamed in the distance. Flashing blue and red lights painted the night. The rivals cursed and scattered like rats, dragging their wounded away.

Jay collapsed against a crate, blood seeping from his arm. Kunle crouched beside him, panting. “You’re bleeding bad.”

Jay groaned. “So are you.”

Before they could move, a familiar voice echoed: “Don’t even think of running.”

Detective Kareem stepped out from the shadows, gun drawn, officers swarming behind him.

Jay’s chest tightened. “You set this up.”

Kareem smirked. “Didn’t have to. You two do the killing for me. Now it’s clean-up time.”

Kunle spat. “You dirty cop.”

But Kareem wasn’t looking at Kunle. His eyes locked on Jay. “It’s decision time. Come with me, live. Stay with him, die.”

The rain fell harder. Jay looked at Kunle — his brother, his rival, his curse. Then at Kareem — the devil offering salvation.

Jay’s choice burned inside him, but before he could speak, shots rang out. Boss T’s boys stormed the docks, guns blazing, shouting Jay’s name. The world exploded into chaos once again.

In the madness, Jay vanished into the shadows. When the smoke cleared, Kunle and Kareem were gone too — leaving only blood and unanswered questions behind.
