** CONTINUATION **
¤ When foxes pack the jury, the chicken is always guilty as charged ¤

DEDICATED to all my FANS......


I was still on the ground in pains when I heard the sound of a gun shot. I turned to see the man and Johnbull lying on the ground.

At that point, i felt a numbness in my body as all my blood had stop flowing in an instant partly due to shock and fright. For some seconds i lost track of my surrounding as i stood there staring into space.
A tap on my shoulder brought me back from the blur vision that i was having. I turned in the direction of the tap, and standing in front of me was no other person than my friend Johnbull. Few moments ago, he was lying still on the ground, but how he got to where i was standing was a puzzle that was yet to be solved. Perhaps i had spent so much time staring into space that i didn't know when he got up. And if that be the case, then the guy that attacked us must have been the victim of the gun that went off.
The expression on my face changed from that of fright to bewilderment.

" what went wrong? " i asked giving him a tight hug.

" we struggled on who will take possession of the gun when the gun went off, at first I thought i was dead until i discovered that i was still breathing. I can't say the same for the guy that attacked us. " Johnbull replied in a hurry.

" mehn , thank God that nothing happen to you o. " Fred said before taking a look at his friend lying helpless on the ground. " i think they need some help. " He added.

Fred carried Chuks on his shoulder while Johnbull carried Chioma. They trekked the forest for a while before they came to an open space. On the open space stood two round huts . smoke was coming out of one of the huts and ascending into the atmosphere in a random motion, partly due to the strong wind that was blowing at that time.
They quickly rushed into the hut that the smoke was coming out from and met an old man kneeling over a fire. The old man wasn't a bit startled by their insurgence. He turned slowly facing them still in his kneeling position.
.............

Chuks sighed, now a bit out of the hut that the old man had placed him. He rested his head on the wall of the hut still looking at his two friends exchanging words like two guy arguing on who will take a chick. He gave a long and wide yawn, the grumbling in his stomach revealed the depth of the hunger hunting his poor soul.
The old man came out of the hut that was opposite the one he stood resting his head. The old man beamed with a smile revealing a set of brown teeth that have been altered by years of chewing tobacco. Chuks felt a pitch in his stomach as the old man approached him gently, He usually felt uneasy in the presence of old people, maybe because of their look that always frightens him.

" I can see that you're fine " the old man spoke in a quiet but excited tone. Chuks nodded in affirmation and looked at the ground beneath him as if to avoid the old man's gaze.
" by next tomorrow, you and your friends will be strong enough to go home. " the old man said. The way he stressed the word ' friends ' made Chuks to wonder if he was talking about a particular friend.
" how is she doing? " chuks asked pointing towards the bed as they walked into the hut.
" she will be fine. " the old man replied and started giving him a clearer picture of what she was going through.
.............

Two days later everyone was in a hurry to leave the place except for Chioma that was a bit weak.

I was so excited to come out of the bush as we stepped our feet on the express. We had to walk for about three hours with the old man guiding us before we finally hit the express. The old man gave to us some money to pay for our transport fare back to school since there was no money on us. He bade us goodbye as he withdrawed into the bush that we came out from.
Though we were tired from the long walk in the forest, we were still grateful for coming out with our lives.
We stood there for hours before we finally boarded a taxi to school. As for Chioma, I assume that she's doing fine right now.

" That was how the whole thing went " Chuks concluded wiping some drops of sweat from his fore head.
The Dean exhaled a hot air and adjusted his sitting position. He took a glance at his wristwatch and exclaimed. " this is 1pm already! " He said springing to his feet. " gentlemen, you people had a rough ride and near death experiences on that journey. I still have some questions to ask, but that will be after my appointment. So i will get back to the three of you later. For now you people are free to go. " He said in a hurry gathering some documents on the table.
The three of them stood up and took a bow before leaving the Dean's office.

** CONTINUATION **

Dedicated to all the ghostreaders....

The three friends descended the stairs of the two storied building that served as the administrative block. They were soon visible as they came out of the main entrance of the building looking exhausted and famished each minding his own business for the time being.

Chuks was fast losing the battle against the furious worms that were rioting and protesting against the shortage in supply of food for the past fifteen hours. He gave a full yawn that drew some stares to his direction and increased his pace.
" guy where you dey run go? " Fred asked trying to catch up with him. Johnbull was closely on their heel, he was trying his best to catch up since was a slow walker.
" na die i dey o, as you dey see me so na outside gate i dey go like this, i get 2h for my pocket na food items i want go buy wey i go take help my ministry. " Chuks replied increasingly his pace by another fifty percent.
" na for inside 2h you wan pay TP? " Johnbull asked from ten yards behind them. " i resemble who wan pay TP? You no fit use your brain take calculate say na trekking i dey so? " Chuks replied swinging his hands to meet up the demands of his legs.

In thirty minutes time they were outside the main gate of the school. Chuks took his time to buy only things that were relevant to the issue at hand, the way he was beating down the price with the market women made his friends to wonder if he was truely a guy.

They left the market with a sizeable nylon bag that created the illusion that they went to the market with enough money. The long walk back to the hostel was characterised by noisy chit-chat. Fred and Johnbull accompanied Chuks to his hostel, they were bent on partaking in the glory since they were part of the story.

On their arrival, they settled for soaking garri with salt first to appeased the angry worms in their stomach at least to wait until the main food is ready.

The aroma of the concoction rice that the three friends were preparing rented the atmosphere. The guys in the next room were busy sniffing the aroma that escaped from their room.

When the food was ready, they fetched it into a big bowl and carried their spoons to the center of the room where perched around the food with only their pants on. As they dived into the food, they heard a knock on the door, it was more of a bang, as Chuks went to answer the door the Fred and Johnbull continue devouring the hot rice much to the annoyance of Chuks.

As he opened the door, Chuks was so shocked to see three guys standing in front of his room with only their pants on and spoons in their hands. " Damn! " He cursed under his breathe and opened the door wide for them to enter. The food in the big bowl was consumed in the space of ninety seconds. As Chuks went to drop the bowl in the kitchen the worms in his stomach were sighing loudly in frustration, He wished the three other guys had not appeared from nowhere to cut his ration.

By the time he came out the kitchen his three neighbours were already close to the door chanting a big thank you to him which he nodded with a faint smile.

Fred and Johnbull left after a while leaving Chuks alone in his hostel. Not having much to do He drifted to the world unknown..

It was pitch-dark when He woke up from his slumber. He robbed his eyes with the back of his palm staggered around the room in search of the kitchen door.
...........

By 9:00pm Nkechi and Abigail were fully dressed, looking like two teens on their first date.
Nkechi had a blue legins tucked in a white six inches high heel and a white shirt with two upper button opened and tied at the lower end to expose her cleavage and belly button. Her hair was loose and it swung freely on her shoulder down to her back.

Abigail on the other hand was in a simple white combat three quarter with a white trainers and a green hacket top to compensate, her hair was a three step anita becca.
Ada was on her bed reading " Blood in the Sand " by Robin Saxon and Alex Kidwell. She had given an excuse that she was experiencing a stomach upset and so won't be able to make it to the party in order not to mess herself up.

By 9:30pm there was a knock on the door, the two girls went for the door simultaneously.

** CONTINUATION **

Felix stood on the doorway patiently waiting for them to get the door. He looked over his shoulder to where his friend's car that he came with was parked.
The black colour lexus stood gallantly with its splendor, taking a bird view of the ride, you will be left with only two words, " Simply Fabulous! "

The door opened with a force of about a hundred newton due to the number of hands that forced it open.
The two girls were lost in wonderland when they saw felix dressed in an all white outfit made up of a white pair of timberland, white jeans tucked into the timberland, a sparkling white body fitted packet shirt that had its collar looking up to heaven. His haircut looked like it was made that very evening cos the line from the carving was neatly taken compensating his fair oval face and a cute dimples when he smile.

" will you girls stop staring at me like i just fell from pluto. " He said calmly bringing back the girls from their dreams. Nkechi managed to muffle the excitement bubbling inside of her as she whispered a goodevening to him and stepped aside from the door while Abigail stood there hypnotize by his presence.
" you girls have a nice lodge here. " He commented taking a tour round the room with his eyes and settled on Ada that was burying her head in the book that she was reading.

" hi pretty. " his baritone voice echoed across the room as he gave a faint smile that quickly disappeared as fast as it came. Ada continue reading without giving as much as a side glance, ' boys and their ego! " she cursed under her breathe.

" it's already 9:48pm, can we get going? " Abigail drawled in an irritating manner looking at the watch that graced her wrist.
" this girl had just handed me a challenge, she's forming the tough girl, i will lay her before two weeks. " he muttered to himself before turning to face the other girls. " let's get outter her! " he added with a fake american accent. Nkechi and Abigail watched his retreating figure as he walked past them to the hallway without looking over his shoulder to check if the girls were still coming or Not.
The girls picked up their pulses and joined felix outside where the lexus was parked.
