Robbery gone wrong

His vision blurred out and everything went dark, dark as moonless skies above, the last thing he saw was the figure of the lady snuffing life out of him, his mind wandered to the sequence of events that led to this painful moment; yeah, getting your life strangled out of you is a painstaking experience.

A few hours back, he was given an assignment,

"Jonny, you go run that atm for junction today" His boss said, then he added Rum go follow you run the matter.

John had been eager to prove himself, he wanted to level up and run advanced assignments, so with a grin and both his arms raised in the air he said "I go fit run am solo bozz man, na small matter, make Rum dey".

ehn ehn ok was all his boss said.

A few minutes ago, after staking out the atm for some minutes, a lady approached the atm, she wore black shorts, had a jacket on and earphones plugged in, what was most important though; she came alone. He was contemplating whether to wait till a teenager came by like he originally planned when he saw that the woman didnt retrieve her card after withdrawing, instead, she had requested for more, then more. This is it, he thought, his choice had been made for him.

He followed her, keeping at a distance, he knew the road inside and out, they were on his turf, so when she turned left on Gbedebo street he knew he had her, nobody dey comot for that street, he fastened his pace, she wouldnt hear him coming anyway.  He caught up to her, holding her swinging left arm in place, he held a gun to her rib from behind so she wouldnt turn, he unplugged the earphone in her left ear and said no turn, no fear, I just wan collect that money wey dey your pocket.

She raised both arms, he knew the money was in her right pocket, he put the gun in his left hand so he can access her pocket with his right when suddenly, her right elbow crashed into his ribs, he staggered back holding his belly with his right hand, she kicked the gun out of his other hand, he was trying to process what was going on when he felt her knee on his ribs, it was the same spot she had hit before, he bent down as pain coursed through, he didnt see the hook swinging towards him, but the impact had him on ground, then just as quick as her attacks, she was on top of him, her hands around his neck, squeezing at it with incredible strength, he couldnt even struggle, her knees pinned both his arms to the ground as she crushed his windpipe like it's nothing. 

His vision blurred out, but not before he saw the camo she wore under her jacket, damn! The wrongest girl he thought, Rum for follow join body o.
