She ran through the thick forest clearing every bush or leaves that came her way. She was breathing heavily amd she felt like she could just die that moment because she has never ran that fast in her entire life. ‘What could even make her run fast ?’, her father is the governor of the state and before he became the govenor, he was already rich which means she was born into wealth and she never knew poverty.

She heard footsteps closing in on her and she knew she had to run faster.It was in the day time and she could see very well so it was easier to run withlut falling but it seemed she forgot to look at the ground and before she knew it, she was already on the ground. Her leg had caught a twig. She knew that was it, she gave up, she couldn’t run, she could see the hefty guys approaching her with guns.

‘You, you think you can run abi?’, one of them asked. He had no strand of hair on his head but his jaw was full of beard. From the way his mouth looked, she knew he smoked because it was very black. Another one lifted her up without caring if she was a woman.
They were four in number, three of them looked very rough but one looked quiet. He just escorted the other ones without saying anything. She could see he didn’t like the way they were handling her ‘ but why couldn’t he say anything?’ ,’why couldn’t he beg for her?’. They reached where their camp was in the bush. It had different tents made out of woods. She was tied and kept under one of the tents with her mouth plastered.

It was getting dark. Night came sooner but she couldn’t sleep. She started to remember how she got there. She is just 24 and her name is Kemi. Her father is in his third year in office. She had just graduated from a university in England and decided to come and spend sometime with her family while she applied for her masters. Her future seemed bright and she never knew she could be in a bush with her mouth plastered. She could hear the snoring of the guys. They had made her speak to her father yesterday asking him to call when he was ready to pay the ransome.

She was returning from a freinds place alone driving one of her father’s car. She could remember her father begging her to allow a body guard follow her but she wanted to be alone and not with one fierce looking guy following her about. She had told her father she wouldn’t be long and promised him she would return safely but she has broken that promise and she was in ‘God knows where’.
She could still remember how they double crossed her on the road and pushed her into a waiting vehicle. Took her into a bush and was lucky (or so she thought) to escape. She had ran into the bush. She could remember how they fired shots into the air but that didn’t stop her until a twig caught her leg. She never knew when she slept off
‘Here is food for you’ ,a voice said waking her up.

She slowly raised up her head to look at the guy infront of her. He had a calm face and was very handsome. She wondered what led him into kidnapping. She slowly shook her bead meaning she doesn’t want. She knew she was hungry but she was afraid to eat. He removed the plaster from her mouth gently and loosened her. She was surprised at the gesture.
‘Please just eat something’, he begged. His voice was calm and not harsh like the other guys.

‘But why was he saying please,his voice was supposed to be harsh and thick like the other guys’ he thought ‘How did he even get himself into this. Maybe because he needed money badly for his mother. The landlord had given them a quit notice the day before. He knew what he was doing was risky but he was desperate... kindly Continue reading here http://celebrityvibez.com/must-read-the-last-shot-a-short-story/
