ALPHA SNIPY– A VALIANT MAFIA LORD

We entered my entry room and settled down.

“Welcome Lord Snipy. Welcome Legend Declan. Welcome visitor for now. Anything you all need?”

“What’s that?” My step’s mum’s twin asked amid shivers and I and Declan chuckled.

“Calm down, twin. It’s harmless. This is what this house is made of. It’s my mistress’s assistant,” Declan explained with a smile.

“But why can’t I see her?”

“Cause it’s just a computer or rather a robot,” I retorted. “She’s my little girl.”

“Error, I’m not little.”

I ignored it and looked at Declan for the execution of plans.

“I have a contribution to make, Declan” step mum’s twin said, shutting Declan who wanted to speak up.

“What’s that?” I asked, staring closely at her.

“I have a friend who works in a news tv station.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

“Is he trustworthy?”

“Not he. A lady,” she replied and sighed. “About your question, all I have to say is that in this world of ours. I can’t swear for anybody but for the times I’ve been with her she’s been so cool and nice. I just hope she hasn’t changed.”

“Yea, people change with time,” I concurred with her statement remembering how much I’ve changed. “It’s normal and they owe no one any explanation for it.”

“Right.” She nodded.

“Do you have her number stock in your head cause I know you already lost your phone?” Declan asked.

“Yes, I do.”

“Is she white or black?”

“White. she’s Chinese.”

“Nice. I hope she’s cute,” he drawled.

“Declan!” I screamed, eyeing him.

“I’m just kidding. Forgive me,” he chuckled. “We forgot to purchase the machine. I need to go get it.”

“You don’t have to worry about that, Declan. Just recalled that I have the last one here,” I replied.

“Wow, that’s nice mistress. Get it, please. We can use your home theater to make the sound connections.”

“Where is she going to get it? I see no other door so where?”

“Why not watch and see.”

I smiled at them and walked off.

“To what dimension, Lord Snipy?” My little girl asked.

“My room.”

“Please wait while we scan your voice” it retorted in a robotic voice different from its normal voice.

“Stop the pranks. I’m not ready for one.”

“Sorry for the inconveniences, Lord Snipy. Please go in.”

“Just say you missed me, Mira” I whispered at her calling her with the mortal name I gave her.

“Of course, I did, Lord Snipy but I’m only but a robot so I got no feelings. ”

“I missed you too.” I smiled and started looking for the machine cause I couldn’t remember where I kept it.

“What are you looking for, Lord Snipy?”

“A little machine used to transmit sound etc.”

“Searching. Searching successful. It’s in the safe under your bed.”

“Thanks, Mira.”

“Don’t mention.”

I took the machine and walked back into the entry room.

“How much did you spend to build this house Snipy?” Step mum’s twin asked.

“You won’t believe it if I told you so why bother yourself? I actually spent more money on this house than I spent in the mansion.”

“It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done in my life. In this house, there is everything you will ever need. A supermarket. A bank. Assaulted kinds of foods. Both cooked. Uncooked. Frozen and normal. Games. Dance floor. A room built in the form of a cinema. Name it. Also in this house, you will find so many routes to anywhere in any part of this country. One of my robots flies and purchases one of every new drink that is made in this country and even orders for shipping if it’s not made in this country. Reasons known to it. I haven’t cared to ask my engineers.”

“I can actually stay in this house without leaving for years and won’t get bored. Also, there are two institutes one for kids and the other for adults in this house. One can also obtain a degree here too cause my institute for adults is linked with five of the best universities in the world if he/she schools here and will be given a certificate bearing the name of one of the five universities.”

“My mistress calls this stuff a house but I call it ‘a simple world’ cause it’s a world on its own. I guess she didn’t remember to say that in one of the rooms in this house phone production is done. Not just phones but laptops, palmtops, etc. And even robots.”Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“She builds most of the branded phones that bear other names yet she remains the most humble human you will ever meet.”

“I can see it even without being told. I thought Snipy was rich but now I can see she is a bastard billionaire.”

I chuckled. “Well, I can feed the president of Nigeria for years and still not run dry even though he loops our cash.”

“That’s a lie. I don’t believe it. A president of a country?”

“Lol. Come let me show you something,” I replied to her and she did.

“To what dimension, Lord Snipy?”

“World of currencies.”

“Accessing. Entry granted. Welcome to the world of currencies, mistress.”

“Wow! So many currencies!” She exclaimed.

“Look at the numbers on each currency” I said, feeling proud of myself. “Can you call the numbers on each currency?”

“As you can see, I earn cash every day from my sales to more than fifty countries with high-ranked currencies even without doing anything cause my computers do it all. Now, do you think I can feed the president of Nigeria in the years I mentioned?”

“Even more than, Snipy. I’m amazed.”

“Let’s go,” I uttered and the door opened and we walked out.

“Can I have a cool drink?” Mum’s twin asked.

“Name, visitor? Name of the drink you wanna take in? And also as of now the chemicals used for the production of alcohol is not cool so alcohol shouldn’t be taken. But if you insist on one. It’s at your risk.”

“Don’t tell me you have computerized doctors.”

I puffed my cigar. “Not doctors but scientifically learned computers but as for me, I don’t listen to them.”

“Lord Snipy is one of the most stubborn mortals visitor. Don’t follow her.”

“One more blasphemy Mira and I’ll pin you.”

“Don’t, Lord Snipy. Mouth sealed.”

“Better.” I chuckled.

“I’ll love to take Fanta.”

“Just Fanta?” I asked her.

“Yes, Snipy.”

“By your left. A rubber of Fanta has been placed for you” Mira announced.

“We’ve wasted a lot of time talking mistress. Can I have the machine?”

I gave him the machine and he did what he wanted to do with it and sounds started flowing in.

“Can you raise the volume?” I ordered.

“Sure” he replied and did.

“Can I have the number of the lady twin? Let me speak with her while you both listen. I’ve already installed everything. Including the second recorder.”

Declan walked out after he was given the number and I and my step mum’s twin listened attentively to the sounds coming.

“Did you hear that!” She suddenly exclaimed.

“What?”

“Listen.”

I listened to the sounds attentively and it gave out;

“Are you sure they didn’t escape before the mansion got burnt?” The voice of my step mum echoed.

“Positive ma’am. Most of my men died in there too including your lover who we couldn’t save on time” a male voice replied.

“Snipy is smart. We will have to listen to current news and know if she did die.”

“Okay, ma’am. What about her brother and the doctor? What do we do with them? Should we waste them?”

“I’ll tell you what to do when I’ve decided soon.”

“Ok, ma’am.”

Just as the retreating steps of the male subsided Declan entered.

“How did it go?” I asked him.

“She accepted. Luckily she is your lover. That she’s always wished to meet you and it will be a dream come true for her.”

“But I’m no celebrity.”

“You may think you’re not cause you don’t sing or act but you’re to several people. And truly you’re.”

“So what now?”

“She and her man will be flying over to the mansion tomorrow. Let’s wait till after she’s done with that.”

“I’ll still pay her nevertheless,” I breathed.

“Sure. I’ve contacted my police friend too. He will begin the fake patrol tomorrow. How is it going with the recorder?”

“For now, my brother and doctor are still alive. I’m so happy. Can’t wait to have the witch in my hands.”

“Soon mistress. Soon.”
