Chapter 2: Theogo the Fighter.

Some hours back during the day time, around 2:30pm, the afternoon sun was burning hot with the white clouds blocking the sun rays from time to time. It never seemed like it would be raining, weirdly.

Theogo was walking at the entrance of his college of study, when his phone began buzzing in his jeans pocket, following the way out. He was drawn out of his world of thoughts into reality by the phone call. He was wearing dark blue jeans and a white T-shirt that has a drawing of a famous anime character on it.

Seeing that it was Phoebe who was calling him,he smiled inwardly. He could guess what she would say when he picks the phone. 'No, not today Phoebe, I have to release some old heat baby' He thought, but he still picked up the call to hear her nagging with her suiting melodic teen feminine voice. At least,her nagging makes him feel happy, fondly enough:

"Lulu Phoebe, this is not the phone owner talking. He definitely misplaced it which I found dropped on the floor..." he tried changing his voice awkwardly. 'ops! lulu, mistake.'

Phoebe giggled at his weird futile attempt "Oh my! then who's this calling me lulu phoebe, wish I could see the phone's owner's face hearing you calling me like that. He will skin you alive." she teased his weak spot.

"I like that giggle girl." He couldn't imagine someone calling her like that, so he changed the topic. His blood boiled a bit with that thought.

"Yes I know, thanks." she blushed at his remark. "Please don't tell me you'll be heading to a boxing center after school today. We made that clear just this morning, didn't we?" she saw Layla, her friend, making a face for her like saying 'stop sounding like you are seducing him.' She turned her face away to continue making her phone call without any distractions.

"Yep you are as right as rain but I thought we have come to a conclusion. Anything else you want to talk about, you are highly welcomed." he bumped into a young man which he didn't see coming in his way.

"Watch out you blind bitch." The young man cursed him.

Theogo made a note of his face. Somebody will die.

Phoebe chuckled because she knew that someone would be in big trouble cursing Theo a 'bitch'?

"Why Theo, just for today, please. At least I wouldn't like my boyfriend to have some swellings on his face on my birthday." She pouted lower lip saying so.

"I didn't fight since yesterday sweetie, you want me to die as a result of high blood pressure? Then how will the dinner date happen with me being dead, your birthday will be my death day? Hope you can see my point? Right?" he tried sounding 'I'm making some sense here.'

"That's the most irrelevant reason I have ever heard of in my 18 years of existence Theo. Ok just be careful and give up the moment you'll be injured, no point in getting yourself hurt today." she knew that he wouldn't change his mind. Theo was a strong headed person at times if it comes to fighting.

"What of tomorrow?..." That sounds selfish— he wanted to say but he restrained his tongue.

"Just forever Theo, forever if possible. Don't be late for the date. Be a man that respects time please, even for once,6:00am dot, okay?"

"Yes lulu Mommy" he avered, still pursuing the man that blaspheme him a bitch. How dare he! "Take care." she said and then splitted the phone call.

Theogo overheard other female voices chipping loudly in the background, giggling and shouting "awwnnnnn ROMANTIC" before the phone call was disconnected — he ignored Phoebe's crazy friends and then continued following the guy. He can't just go away with it. He saw the man heading to a nearby park,he therefore headed for it as well.

"Hey asshole, guess you can't count how many fingers I'm raising, can you?" said Theogo and the next moment, the confused victim had a fatal blow from a left clenched fist. He flatly fell down, motionless and completely knocked out in front of the girl he was kissing some seconds back.

Everyone's attention in the park at that area was drawn to the averagely tall, broadly shouldered, slim, a bit muscular,blonde curly haired, ocean blue eyes guy. A heavenly handsome young man precisely that delivered a crackling sounding punch to an innocent someone.

Theogo cracked his neck and knuckles. Satisfied with the revenge. He smiled and scoffed. "You face the music when you insult me a bitch. A personal warning for you is don't bite more than you can chew if you know you are weak!" he said and then left the place.

The pretty looking girl that was been kissed scrooched closer to her man. She began crying and shouting "Somebody, help please help he didn't do anything to him. He just punched him for nothing. Kace please wake up". she kept on shaking him vigorously as she was talking to the knocked out dead moving Kace.

The squeaky wheel was getting more grease as many people were surrounding her. When she raised her head to rain insults on the punch deliverer, he was nowhere to be seen. Like he wasn't ever there.

Life is full of immoral people. How can somebody just insult someone he never knew a bitch just like that because he bumped into him unintentionally?

Theogo went to the parking lot and then he climbed his black and white sport bike that had a big skull sticker on the right side. He started it and then sped like an arrow on the highway, heading to a secret underground wrestling arena to "release some heat."

_____

In an underground temporary arena, away from the city's cops frequent services and the Public eyes, Theogo, for the 'third' time in a day, has just knocked out someone, his opponent in particular. The referee raised his right arm in declaring his victory.

The circularly formated crowd cheered in happiness and were calling his name in unison, which was a music to Theogo's ears.

"Theogo" Theogo" "Theogo" "Theogo" "Theogo"...

Theogo gently and calmly as ever rolled through the lowest rope of the ring with sweat dripping from his blonde hair. He raised both of his boxing gloved fist, and then he shouted "I'm the greatest!" As he walked through the crowd.

Everyone gave the Lion King a space to make his way back to the wing. The manager of the street boxers was personally waiting for Theogo where he kept his bag that contained his casual clothes inside, which he wore when he came here.

"That was quite of a great impressive show man." The manager said to him as he stood up and patted him on his left shoulder. He was a young man of around thirty to thirty-five, having an eye patch on his right eye with a toothpick in his mouth rolling it left to right. He wore the eye patch because his right eye was blind.

"Thanks for the praise. As I always tell you,I fight for pleasure and not for money. But by the way, isn't it rude to open someone's property without the owner's permission. I call that indecorous, Joseph." Said Theogo, removing the dozen of tied money from his bag, waving it in front of Joseph's face like a fan. Annoyed.

"Keep it little Theo, you'll need it." Joseph lightly pushed Theago's hand to the side. "Buy Phoebe some good gifts since today is her birthday after all. I know you don't have the means. As I always use to tell you, your talent is in fighting Theogo but alas you don't see it. Anyway, Tell Phoebe how very sorry I'm. I can't join the party today midnight." Theogo smiled hearing Phoebe's name called. "And still, I only paid you what you earned. No more no less.

"Joseph wasn't only Theago's street boxing manager, but also his neighbor, a mentor, his couch and as well a guardian to him. "Thanks Joseph, for everything" said Theogo with a genuine smile. "You are most welcome Theo."

Theogo bought Phoebe a necklace as her birthday gift in a luxurious mall which he kept it in a blue pendent box. keeping the pendent box inside his bag, he climbed onto his sport bike and wore his helmet.

The helmet was a special one, used mostly by the Rawths government agents and also a gift from Phoebe. He could remember how ungrateful he was for having a helmet as his birthday gift. Even right now, he was feeling ungrateful about it.

He was still on his bike called Phoebe through the helmet who immediately answered the call as if she was waiting for it. She was bored at the time because her friends had already left long ago.

"Hellooo."

"Hi Theo, how many guys have you fainted in the ring? Hope your face is intact? Will Joseph be joining my midnight birthday party?" she bombarded him with questions without holding her breath as she blew her wait hair with the hair dryer and was keeping the phone on her ear with her shoulder. She just had a cold bath.

The weather was sunburning her although she bad been indoor throughout the day making her birthday cakes with her friends. Unbeknownst to her, heavy dark clouds had started forming and it was about to rain very heavily.

"Easy there with the questions. I fainted only two men. " he lied, "My face is intact and Joseph wouldn't be joining the birthday party. He said he is sorry but he will make up for his absence."

"Yeah Joseph is always a busy bee but you fainted two only?" she questioned him suspiciously with her eyes squinted. "You are getting late man. It's already 5:30am and you are like a ghost, nowhere to be seen."

"Don't worry my lil lulu, I'm almost there."

He looked at his bike's mirror as he spoke. "Some guys have been following me for a while sweetie and I think they are Ezekiel's men, they have the capital red R symbol on their black and a white jeeps. "Theago's voice changed with calling the name he loathed the most.

"Oh man, just hold on. I'm going to end Ezekiel today if he does anything stupid, trust me." she said as she tied her black smooth hair that reached her waist into a nice bun and was opening her operation kit.

"Don't do that Phoebe, it'll risk your life. I have told you severally not to go against the crazy ones." Theogo changed his lane of direction, making his way to the left. He could see that the four black and the white Jeeps couldn't follow the narrow route he took.

But some, ten in particular, motorbikes were catching up to his speed. 'These guys are annoying. Ezekiel is a pain on the ass. Can't he just leave us alone for good!'

"No, I can't take shit anymore honey. We have had enough of it!"

Theogo couldn't comprehend what Phoebe told him lastly because an invisible force forcefully brought his bike to a stop. He tumbled, toppled and skidded accross the ground.

When he stood up on his legs, grunting in pain, he saw a black bike clashing with him, sending him straight into an alleyway. If not for the Rawths special helmet he was wearing, his head could have ruptured from his thorax. He hit his head on a street light pole and fell to the ground.

The white Jeep stood at his face with dust accompanying it and out of it came a gentle looking man, Ezekiel. Six other men in Black suits got out of their respective jeeps and stood by his side. Waiting to be ordered by their master.

"Theogo! Theogo! hello can you hear me!!...." Phoebe continued calling his name but there was no reply.
