davidflo:


I didn't know who the first person to find me was, but the room was filled with policemen when i regained consciousness. I was still naked with blood on the sheets.

A man with a lot of tribal marks was asking me questions like who i was, where are my other gang members, where did we hide the things we stole from the house. I just kept crying. Some of the officers were laughing at me, each was telling the others why they thought my colleagues had tied me u and left me behind. Most agreed it was greed, that i was probably trying to run away with all they had stolen from the professors house.

That was when I remembered the artwork in the parlour. That must have been the professor and his wife. I realised i had been used by the girl to rob the house, her gang member had met up with her and......oh my God.

I decided to tell the tribal marked guy all that happened. He nodded and kept taking notes, i wondered why he didn't unbound me, but i kept talking.

The he asked me two questions.

"What is her name?"

"I don't know", i replied.

"His name?"

"I don't know"

The other policemen started laughing at me. I wondered if he was going t laugh to but he didn't, until he asked me one last question.

"So him Bleep you for yansh?"

"Yes"

Then they all laughed louder, including my interrogator.

Some minutes later I was handcuffed and taken to their station, where i was locked up without charge or trial for two weeks.


On a sunday afternoon, I was suddenly called from my cell that I had made bail. I got to the counter to see Shade at the other side. She cried as soon as she saw me, I tried to be strong but I cried to.


As she drove me to her house, she told me everybody was looking for me and no one thought about checking the police station until my abandoned car was recovered at Dugbe.

"Dapo, tell me, what happened?"

I kept quiet for a while, then i spoke.

"Its a very short story...but first, please forgive me."









The end.










Dave thanks for dis wonderful piece

But dave what about our oda story na

There is no such thing as "re-read" b4 u pick on people's errors, try working on yours 1st. MISTAKE, that's why we called human. But davidflo no offence man the typos are really much, try 2 review b4 posting.
I will not stoop to your level of mediocrity. I'm surprised that your intellect is not honed enough to understand the significance of the prefix 're'.

Easy man don't talk crap @ me. Its "reread" with no hyphen. Visit ya dictionary, difficult people everywhere...SMH next thing u be like re-cap, re-post over recap, repost. It may look wrong without the hypen but that's the right way don't spice it up, its no dish!.

It's such a pity. Read these:

Verb 1. reread - read anew; read again; "He re-read her letters to him"
↔ read - interpret something that is
written or printed; "read the
advertisement"; "Have you read
Salman Rushdie?"


Source:

www.thefreedictionary.com/reread

Question: Which is correct? 'reread' or 're-read'?

Answer [by Robert Charles Lee]: Either is fine. Reread (solid) and re-read (hyphenated) are used in equal measure in all sorts of writing. Once you use one version, stick to it throughout the copy.


Source: www.quora.com/Which-is-correct-reread-or-re-read

Besides, IDFWU, if you aim to correct someone else's English expression, at least write in correct grammar yourself. There is a difference between Its and It's. Perhaps, that dictionary that has been confusing you can still rescue you from your ignorance.

"Write in a correct grammar yourself". Oops! Mr right just made a blunder. Anyways I'm Ray Charles to ya BS, I couldn't agree less, just like I suspected you so full of sh*!. You go about picking on other peoples mistakes rather than correcting them. Doesn't that make you worse than they are? Take them shoes off your teeth & quit running your mouth dude.

Easy now, I. All larrysun did was to let dave know there were errors and he wasn't the only one who did that. Besides, larry proved himself right already so why continually picking on him?

What's larry called a writer and a reader for if he doesn't put writers in the know of their errors (typo.. or gramma...).

Seriously, the tone you used trying to tell larry he was wrong about re-read(which is right afterall) was rather a high pitch. These things are not done this way ooo.

Thank you, ma'am. I wanted to give the baboon a serious ear-cleaning, but because of your comment, I will only warn him.

I suppose, to your diminishing mentality, the bolded is a correct grammatical construction. I wonder who your role model is.

And, goodness! See this pathetic marsupial trying to correct my expression with a ridiculous but unnecessary input of an article. Your English teacher should be weeping. Your folly is an insult to stup!d!ty. Just look at how dumb you just appeared! You just shot yourself in the foot because it itched you. Come on, cut down on your beans intake because you're so full of flatulence right now.

Apparently, in reality, your mouth must be preceding your brain (well, if you call that pap God deposited in your head a brain). I don't claim to be all-knowing, but it is not an excuse for a torn condom like you that would square off with me on grammatical constructions. From their obscenities, we shall know them.

Please, don't let me insult you, sir.

The next time you reply me with your head still in your anus, I will take you down to the chat thread and give you the whipping you deserve. I know you will still display your talent in mental-depreciation by replying me. We all know that showing how stupId you are is a reflex action.

Kindly forgive me, Davidflo. It was not my intention to derail your thread, but some runaway kangaroos will keep bleating. It's annoying in the least. This is the last time I will reply this knuckleheaded piece of garbage HERE.

God bless you, Davidflo. Keep up the good work. smiley

Sir Larrysun! I never knew you too, sir, possessed this much prowess in landing oratory smack downs.

As for me, and people like me who can't land these smack downs, we have learnt never to descend into the swamp to wrestle insanity. It always wins; or it always seems to.

By the way sir, I have sent a reply to your 'message'. I just want to be sure it was delivered, sir. smiley

PS: You have got a nice work here, Sir Davidflo. Something else led me here, but now, I seem to be lost in the beauty of the craft. Keep the ball rolling, sir. smiley

But here is my observation. I would love it if you help clarify things on this area (it's unclear to me).

Was the guy actually found in the professor's house from which the thieves stole?

If the answer is a yes, how did they manage to enter and sleep there overnight.

I guess I'm not too unclear in the way I've asked.
THANKS.


It was a robbery from the onset, the girl was a thief, must have done her findings, way to get in, residents having travelled and all...Dapo was in the dark.
