THE STORY BEGINS HERE......

I went to Ruth’s cell and found the girls together on one side screaming in fear.

“Ruth! Ruth!”. I called, looking to find her amongst the girls.

“Mike! Is that you”. She called from inside the cell.

The dust in the air and smoke couldn’t allow me see clearly, but at least I could recognize her voice.

“it’s me, come out let’s go!”. I said forcing my head in-between the bar of the cell.

She came out looking circumspectly, and when she was able to recognize me, perhaps noticed I was alone, she rushed towards me and said in a scared tone.

“Mike what’s going on? Get me out of here? Is it another rebellion? Get me out of here please”. She was visibly shaking in fear.

Soon, other girls joined in begging me to open the cell door. I rushed back to find a key coz the padlock was a huge size. I returned with a rock that was used to hold one of the doors steady. I hit it with my all my strength several times and hurt my finger in the process, the rock fell and hit my toes.

“are you okay?’’. Ruth asked.

I nodded after robbing my toes that was hurting really bad.

I went into each offices looking for something else to use, and found a huge metal. On my way back, I found three police men walking into the station. I immediately hid myself behind the door of the office.

“Man! Look at this mess!”. One of the men said in a coaxed voice.

“are you girls okay?” another asked.

No response from the ladies. I heard footstep walking pass the office to where my cell was. And a shout followed with footsteps running towards the cell.

“what is it?’’ asked another voice.

“we are in big soup!”. Said the second voice.

“what soup? Are we supposed to stay and die?”. Said the third voice.

“who were those guys?”. Asked the first voice.

“I think they’re part of the rebellion. That old man is among the top ranking officers of the rebellion”. Said the third.

“Then why bring him to this station? This is not the station to handle such cases “. Yelled the first voice.

“we didn’t know who he was until this evening”. Said the third.

“let’s look around and see if anyone needs help”. Said the second voice.

They walked towards the office, opened the door I was hiding behind, looked into the office and walked pass.

I sneaked out of my hiding and tiptoed towards the entrance and spotted them moving broken things off the way. There was no way out save for the one entrance.

Ruth whistled, and I turned towards her. She pointed me towards the counter. I didn’t get what she meant until she whispered “key”. I could make out what she meant through the movement of her mouth.

“God! Kelly!”. One of the police men shouted.

I turned towards them and found them moving some blocks and dragging a colleague of theirs out of it. The officer looked dead to me, at least their attention was somewhere else, and so I moved carefully, staying out of sight towards where Ruth was pointing. I got there unnoticed and found someone’s leg. And when I traced it to the body, it was a corpse of a police officer. That sent cold chill down my spine as I retreated and hit the counter making a loud noise.

“what’s that?’’. Asked one first voice.

“help us please!”.

One of Ruth’s cellmate shouted from her cell. And the rest followed.

“leave these girls alone please”. Said the second voice.

“hello sir….yes we were badly hit….yes sir….we are still checking sir…..okay sir”. The first voice said.

“who was that”. Said the third voice.

“the DPO”. Said the first voice.

“I hope he sends someone soon”. Said the second voice.

I remained still until they walked away. And when they had gone, Ruth whistled and beckoned me over. I rushed to the cell and tried three keys in tremulous fingers before the forth opened it.

The girls hid behind me as soon as they were out, 5 in number including Ruth. I wasn’t prepared to be a leader in this escape plan, but from the look of things, it was already saddled on me.

I walked carefully to the entrance door and peeped. I could make out the police men in the dark, though they seem to be too occupied moving things to notice.

The station has big compound and the gate was far from it. I beckoned the girls to follow me as I ran towards where they packed confiscated cars and hid behind a dilapidated lorry , the girls joined me. I looked to catch of glimpse of the police men, but they were no longer in sight, and so we ran towards the gate but stopped when I notice spectators and onlookers . And immediately hid behind a car.

“Damn!”. I said breathing heavily.

“Let’s take the other way”. Said one of the girls.

“Which way?” I asked.

“The back exit. Though we have to go through the fence”. Another of the girls added.

“what are we waiting for, let’s go”. I said abruptly.

“what if they see us?”. Ruth asked.

“it’s dark, it should be like mid night they won’t”. I said and stood up. “let’s go”.

As we were running, one of the girls fell. She stumbled over a corpse and let out a little scream, but controlled it in time. That was when I noticed two other corpse lying around.

“let’s go!”. I said and continued running.

We haven’t gone far when the sound of sirens filled the car.

“hurry up!’’ I yelled, as I ran.

We got to the side of the building we were meant to escape from. One of the slim ladies jumped and threw herself over to the other side. Another was struggling with the fence while I assisted Ruth who was sluggish about it, eventually she made it to the other side. I was now left with two ladies, one was extremely fat and the other was short and moderate but clumsy. I helped the clumsy one, giving all my strength to it and that was when the sound of sirens entered the station and footsteps filled the air. I pushed her over and when she was gone, I looked at the fat one who shook her head, meaning “I can’t make it”.

“come on, you have to try”. I said.

“don’t worry, make case is bail able. Go! I’ll be fine, go before they get here”. The fat lady said hurriedly.

I jumped and held the top of the fence, pulled myself up and jumped on the other side. As I was landing I heard.

“who’s there?”.

“it’s me! It’s me! Don’t shoot please”. The fat lady’s voice was heard.

I found only Ruth and another lady waiting for me. Immediately, I dragged Ruth by her wrist and took off while the other lady followed from behind.

But seriously how can u and Ruth escape justice? Running away on its own is a crime? U will be fished out and be persecuted or remain in hiding as a fugitive while police declare u wanted while u r at large.
The best thing is to go face it, get a lawyer and clear ur name!
