You're doing a great job. I love the story.

Steve seemed to be whistling to the soundtrack to the young and the restless.
Osi looked round, turning like a drunkard.

Nowhere to hide! There wasn't enough furniture, no corner he could lay low and pray to sneak out...
No time to squeeze through the toilet window again..or was there..?
Nope...the door knob was already turning..


So instead he squeezed the letter into his pocket and leaned on the wall, trying to look as innocent as possible.

Or maybe he should sit on the couch....cross his legs or fold his arms...or better still kneel down and pray...

The door opened(silencing his thoughts) and the European marched in. He was dressed in shorts and an armless sport shirt. From the look of things he had gone jogging.

He didn't see Osi at first, he entered and locked the door, whistling merrily. It wasn't until he turned that he almost jumped out of his skin.
"Jumping Jellyfish!!!!"

Osi smiled and straightened. "Welcome Steve..I've been waiting for you" he stretched out his hand hoping his smile wouldn't waver or his eyes shake. He had no idea what he was doing.

"What the hell are you doing here?!" Stevenson thundered. He didn't sound polite anymore he sounded shocked and yes...he sounded angry.
"I know you're surprised to see me-"
"How did you get in here?!!!" His pale white skin was red with anger and Osi almostbegan to get scared.

"Let me explain..." He sounded rather weak. He wondered if he should withdraw his hand which was still hanging.
"I woke up with a clear instruction in my spirit..to share a prayer with you.." may God forgive me(he thought to himself)

Stevenson dropped his trainers on the floor. He had taken it off obviously not wanting to leave a mess on his gleaming tiles.
He looked down at the mess now (the sand from underneath the sole) and his eyes held fire when he looked up "you want to say a word of prayer and you break into my home? That's an offence!" He moved closer...just a threatening step and Osi hated himself for flinching backwards. He was not a fighter, and the European looked like he could easily snap him into two.

By this time Osi had thought it wise to withdraw his hand. "You'll have to forgive me..but the conviction in my heart was what pushed my actions.."
"It doesn't make sense...if you wanted to pray for me and you knew I wasn't home why break into my house. I'd ask you again..what the hell are you doing here and how did you get in?!"
His eyes darted past Osi to his bedroom. "You've been snooping around haven't you?"

Osi followed his eyes.....the notepad had been dropped in a hurry on the center of the drawer.
"No sir...not snooping around..more like laying of hands..yes..I had the urge to touch some things while I prayed..for example laying hands on your notepad while praying for your increased knowledge and academic success..you see the relevance...because a lot of your academic work is done on that notepad."
He knew his excuse sucked and apparently the European thought so too because held Osi by the collar suddenly and pushed him roughly to the wall.
"You're lying to me..you came in through my restroom...now my question is why?" He spoke through clenched teeth and his eyes held fire in them.

Osi struggled to breathe..Steve really had large hands.
"I swear it..I was just doing my pastor duties..I'm sorry I crossed the line..it won't-"
The European increased the pressure and tightened his grip cutting off his wind.
"I don't know what you were looking for but I'd ask you...what did you find?"
"Cllllliiiiiii..." Osi made a choking noise as he struggled to speak. "N-o-o-thi--clllliii"
He felt like he was going to black out, the man's eyes were crimson, red with rage and red with craziness and just a little fear...
No the fear must have been through his own eyes.

Then just as immediately the European released him. "Well pastor...I really appreciate you coming to pray for me"
Osi fell to his knees as he held his throat, struggling to regain his breath.
"Sorry if I was a little rough on you before..it was just a big surprise seeing you here"
Osi looked up. Steve's eyes were clear and he even had a smile on his face.
"Don't be a cry baby...I'd have to fix my window after all"

Osi struggled to his feet. He didn't have the mind to ask the white man why the names of the deceased girls was written in his pad, didn't even have the mind to hint about the letter and watch his reaction....he had just one thought: This man was crazy....he needed to get out of here!

Stevenson slapped him on the back (a friendly gesture but with too much force)
"What are you still doing here?" He raised his eyebrows like he honestly couldn't understand "get out.."

Osi hurried out. He ran through the path, ran past the market square and didn't stop until he got to the house.
He was soaked with sweat and breathing like a mad beast when he burst through the kitchen door.

"There he is.." Bukky said pointing at him.
Pastor Bartholomew turned and saw him..
"Jesus! What happened..take it easy."
Osi stumbled through the kitchen to the parlour feeling dazed. He had just looked madness in the eyes and escaped. He felt dizzy from all the running and felt like he was experiencing a little sun stroke.
He fell to the ground before he could stop himself.

"Pastor...Oh lord! Pastor are you okay?!"
"Take it easy...bring water"
Gregory, Bukky and pastor Bartholomew all rushed to his side.

"I'm alright...I'm alright....I'm alright" That was all he could say as he stared at the spinning ceiling.

"There is our wonderful leader..up to his wiles again" deacon Oforbuike snickered from the dining table enjoying the scene as he demolished a bowl of cereal.

Osi struggled to a sitting posture. "I'm okay..I guess I ran too fast" he collected the glass of water gratefully from Ovie.

"What happened...I came to see you about the Sunday service in church...are you sure you're okay?" Pastor Bartholomew said worriedly.
"Pastor you scared me" Bukky added.

He couldn't reply. He drank the cold water almost emptying the contents with a single gulp. Gregory seemed to know what he needed. Because when a man fell down, what he needed immediately was to get back up.
He held his hand and helped him to his feet.

"Thanks..." Osi said thrusting the half glass of water at Ovie and touching his breast pocket.
"Shiit!" He exclaimed suddenly.
"Ah.Ah..why are you cursing?!"
"My God! Pastor what is wrong for God's sake?!"
His friends were appalled at his choice of word.

He smiled apologetically at the faces looking at him. "Sorry...nothing....everything is fine."
But everything wasn't fine...the letter was gone....it had disappeared! no wonder bastard Steve had brightened and let him go!
"Damn!" He swore angrily
"Jesus!"
"Pastor!!!!!"

Deacon Oforbuike laughed. For the first time he sounded really happy.
"Our leader is having a nervous breakdown...the pressure and responsibility have caved finally!"


°•°•°•
"Dad I'm really suspecting Paul...since he came back the killings have increased and I found out he has been staying really close all this while..meaning he could come and go as he pleased and he lied about it"

Her father looked up from his food and frowned. "Don't be ridiculous..Paul is a noble young man...the killer is Okudili, everybody knows that"
"But dad..." He groped me the other day...he knew Chinaza closer than he let on...and I'm very sure he was eavesdropping on Ezinne yesterday outside his own house.
They all sounded like guesses, like theories..they didn't hold any weight and she had promised Oluchi she wouldn't tell her father about the groping event.
So when her father looked up with an impatient look in his eye she sighed softly "you're right Dé...I'm sorry"

But she wasn't...she was going to expose him. She was going to find out whatever it was he was hiding. She made the promise to Ezinne's memory.

°•°•°•°•°

Meanwhile the devil smiled as he read the letter.
Foolish words he had written in the heat of passion...
Oh..what unbelievable luck that it would fall into his hands...

Devil is Steveson?

No, might not

@Souloho19, pls more, to compensate for yesterday

It might not be stevenson, it might be d letter fell from his pocket on his way home. Or pastor bathelomew did some manipulation to extract it.
Anyways this is still keeping us on suspense

D killer is stevenson or dis is just anoda plot of d OP to spring oda suspense on us?. Anyways Weldone Op, great work u ve here
