A year and six months ago,
Cana hospital, Carbuja.
After yomi safely recused Jeremy from the hands of the Assassins, he drove Jeremy to a nearby hospital. All through the drive to the hospital, all Yomi heard from Jeremy was, " I want to die. I kill them! I kill them and I need to die."
Yomi had to swerve past through different cars in a rush to get Jeremy to the hospital. When he got to the hospital, he rushed out and requested immediate attention. Jeremy was wheeled into an emergency room by some nurses and doctors.
After a few minutes of waiting outside the emergency room, yomi saw the doctor in charge came out of the emergency and he quickly rushed to meet him.
"How is he? Is he fine?" Yomi inquired.
The doctor shook his head at Yomi and sighed briefly. "Look, I'll advise you to take him to a mental institution, or perhaps you should take him far away from humans."
"What the hell do you mean by that?" Yomi asked in an angry tone.
"Don't get me wrong. All I am saying is that he consumed a lot of Stalon." The doctor informed him but yomi didn't seem to get the doctor.
"Stalon? What's that?" Yomi asked.
"Stalon is a banned drug. It enhances the urge for suicide. It's a suicidal drug that brings unwanted memories." The doctor explained.
"Unwanted memories? How can we get it out of his system?"
The doctor cleared his throat and pointed to a door at the end of the hallway. "Let's talk better in my office."
When they got to the office, the doctor opened the door and they both entered. The doctor sat on the leather chair inside his office while Yomi sat opposite him.
"So about your friend" The doctor continued. "It would take months to get it out of his body. The drug is very dangerous and if you haven't bought him in earlier then he would have died. I'll advise you to isolate him and put him under special care."
Yomi nodded at him and proceeded to asked him another question. "Does he have any memory loss?"
"Yes. there is a temporary memory loss. He would be able to recognize you but he won't be able to remember some things for a few months.? We were able to put him in control for now. Once he wakes up, he would go back to his suicidal self." The doctor explained and wrote something on a plain sheet of paper. " I have a friend back in India and he is a specialist in this kind of area."
"Can't you help him? Why would you refer your friend to him?" Yomi questioned.
"He won't get the special care he deserves. You don't have to travel to India. You can just call him over to mecianda every month and that's if you can afford his bills."
"That's is not a problem. I just want Jeremy to be fine."
"Jeremy Akinsola right?" The doctor questioned and Yomi looked at him suspiciously. "I watched his videos on the anonymous blog and I admire him. My son admires him too."
Yomi stared at the doctor closely and observed him. The doctor was an old man who looked to be about his sixties and Yomi deliberate on whether to trust him or not. "Do us a favor then."
"What favor? I'll gladly do it." The doctor said.
"Remove any medical history of Jeremy Akinsola from here. He will soon be announced dead." Yomi instructed.
The doctor opened his mouth to speak but he couldn't find any word to say. He suddenly became mute and slowly nodded at Yomi.
"I'll remember today. I am moving him soon and I'll need another favor."
~~~~~~~~~~~
Few minutes after the meeting in the doctor's office. A fire alarm broke out in the hospital and during that process, Yomi dressed as a doctor and entered the ER where Jeremy and some other patients were. Everyone was running helter-skelter but Yomi was focused on getting Jeremy out of the ward. He walked to Jeremy's bed and when he got there, he began to push the bed out of the ER. No one noticed him ad he pushed Jeremy out of the hospital into the car.
Once you got Jeremy out of the hospital in one piece. He went to the car park and met with the doctor.
"Thank you doctor kyle," Yomi shook hands with him and gave him back his lab coats. "Jeremy would forever remember you. Please keep these secrets safe and also make sure none of this ever comes out." Yomi bowed to the doctor and walked out of the car park.
"Wait!" The doctor called his name and he turned back to face him. "I have a cabin on the silver island. An island is a small place back in Mandoe and it would be the perfect place for him to recuperate. " the doctor told him and he nodded. "Meet Me at the park later tomorrow."
"Thank you so much, doctor. I appreciate," Yomi appreciated and walked out of the car park.
The next day, Yomi and Doctor Kyle met and they spoke for a while before yomi finally left for the island.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Once they got to the island, Yomi did everything he could to get Jeremy settled in the cabin. A day after they left Carbuja, he saw the news about Jeremy's death and the feathers press conference. He was furious and wanted to tell the world that Jeremy Akinsola was alive but he couldn't because he knew the president was somehow involved with Jeremy's attempt.?
There were days when he wanted to call Kendra and tell her that they were fine but he couldn't until everything was fine with Jeremy.
Due to the intake of the drug, Jeremy went crazy after he woke up. Sometimes he screams at himself and most times he hurt himself using any means of an object.
"I just want to die!" He shouted at yomi once. "Is that too much to ask? I want to leave this world and reunite with my family." Jeremy cried.
"This isn't you talking Jeremy. You have to fight against the drug in your system."
"Maybe the only fight I want right now is to die!"
Yomi refused to give up on Jeremy. He set up an appointment with the doctor back in India and every month the doctor whose name was Ankush comes down to mecianda to give Jeremy the care he deserves until Jeremy ran away from the cabin one very day.
"Jeremy, Jeremy," Yomi called his name that day but he couldn't find him. He searched for him all through the cabin but he didn't find him. Yomi proceeded to ask the people living on the island about Jeremy but no one had seen him. It was as if Jeremy disappeared totally from the earth.?
For two days, yomi didn't see Jeremy and a lot of bad thoughts went through his mind. He thought Jeremy had died. He thought he had failed as a protector. It was his father's final word to protect Jeremy but he had failed at it. Yomi blamed himself for those two days and almost gave up until a miracle happened.
Yomi was pondering in the living room that afternoon when a knock sounded on the front door. Yomi bought out his gun and moved closer to the door. Bringing his gun up to the door, he opened the door and said. "Who are you?" He asked the intruder without looking at his face.
" do you hate me that much that you want to get rid of me?" Jeremy's hoarse voice sounded at the entrance. Yomi bought his head up and when he saw Jeremy's face, he rushed to him and embraced him.
"Where the hell have you being?" Yomi furiously asked. "How dare you leave me worried for today's?" He shouted.
Yomi was so overwhelmed by Jeremy's appearance that he didn't acknowledge the man behind Jeremy until the man cleared his throat. "Who is this?" Yomi suspiciously questioned and pointed his gun at the man's forehead. "Who the hell are you?" He demanded and pushed Jeremy away from the man.
The man raised his hand in defeat and smiled at Yomi. " Hi, you must be yomi. "
Yomi cocked his gun and tighten his grip on the gun. " who sent you?"?
Jeremy came between them and put Yomi's hand down. "That's enough yomi. Come inside Paul." Jeremy requested.
Paul nodded and went inside the cabin. While walking into the cabin, he avoided Yomi's glaring eyes.
After they all settled down, Jeremy informed yomi of what happened to him for those two days he was missing. " I didn't know what happened to me. I woke up from the bed and when I didn't you, I walked out of the cabin. I didn't know where I was heading to and before I knew it, I had found myself consumed by water."
"You went to the sea?" Yomi shouted.
" I had no idea why or what I was doing there," Jeremy explained. " I was drowning and for a reason, I couldn't explain, I was happy that I was dying." He said and earned a glare from Yomi. "I was almost giving up until I felt someone pulling me out of the water. I didn't open my eyes to look at the person because I was too exhausted by all the water inside my lungs."
"The next time he woke up, he asked of you." Paul continued the story. "I didn't know who he was but I made sure he was fine before asking him questions."
"I am glad you are fine. Don't you dare run off without me again!" Yomi scolded as a mother would do to her disobedient child.
"Paul told me we are on the island but I had no idea why or how we got here," Jeremy said.
Yomi stood up from the single chair he was seating in and clapped his hands. "We are in mandoe. Nine-month ago, you wanted to die ."
"Why would I want to die?" Jeremy questioned.
Yomi went on and began to tell him stories about how he recused him from his death and how they got to mandoe. "So that's it," Yomi said and looked at Paul. "Thanks for saving Jeremy but you are no longer welcome here."
"I want to help too." Paul offered.
"Help?" Yomi scoffed. "You don't even know who we are fighting against. You ain't connected to this so stay away." His tone was harsh but that's didn't stop Paul from smiling.
"I don't know who you are but I'm sure you know who I am." Paul stood up and walked to the window side. "I am Paul Kenneth Kennedy." He said his full name and turned to face them. "Kenneth and Abigail Kennedy were my parents."
"What?" Jeremy and Yomi both said at the same time.
"I remember Abigail Kennedy when we attended the funeral program of? those who died in the parkgo plane crash." Yomi reminded Jeremy of the funeral ceremony.
" I remember now! " Jeremy quickly said. "We have to get back to langose. Lara and the rest might be looking for us."
"Too late for that. You haven't recovered yet and it's been eight months since you were announced dead." Yomi informed them.
"What?"
"It's the truth, Jeremy. You are dead to the world and right now, most of your properties belong to the feathers including the mansion." Yomi told him. "I couldn't tell you because I wanted you to be fine. Your health comes first." Yomi told him.
"What is the next thing now?" Paul questioned them. " I want revenge for my parent's death. I came to this island because I want to get away from everything but now that's I've meant you guys, I am determined to get everything back."
"Easy for you to say. Jeremy is forgotten." Yomi said.
"Then we need a new plan and I have got one," Paul said and clicked his tongue.
"I can't believe that I was set up." Jeremy balled his hand into a fist and squeezed it hard. "I am going to make them pay and when I do, they are going to regret everything," Jeremy promised.
"Now that's you are fine. What's is the next move?" Yomi questioned Jeremy.?
"I am going to lay low here for a while and pay them back,"? Jeremy answered.
"Okay. While you were recuperating, I watched the feathers move and I did something." Yomi said with a smile. "I bought a share of their skyscraper."
"How?" Jeremy questioned.
"I paid someone I know back in mecianda and I donated a sum of $100 million."
"Hmmmmmm, that's great. Now that's is new hope for us. Kudos yomi." Jeremy said with a smile.
