I want to thank the following people for their immense contribution towards my winning the best writer of the month. And just Audrey Timms said last month, "the feeling is like winning the nobel prize for literature."

-Those in charge: Princesa and Divepen. Am short of words. Princesa's selflessness is the reason why we are enjoying this. Divepen is a great mathematician who never makes mistakes while counting the votes. I recommend you INEC. You guys are the best. See you at the Nairaland e-workshop.
-The sponsor: Even though we don't know youg My prayer is that God continue to bless your pocket.

Darasimi walked towards the door and pushed it open. She was scared at seeing these guys in front of her door but on a second thought she smiled at them to ease the tension.
"Baby what's cooking?" Scorpion asked.
"Noodles." She replied.
"We came for our share." Scorpion informed as he pushed the door open and walked in alongside every other guys.
"Its not something much. Just a packet of noodles and nothing else."
She informed them.
"There is love in sharing they say."
Darasimi walked into her kitchen to dish out the noodles into a plate.
Despite the fact that she was hungry, she still had to share it with some boys who'll finish it in seconds.
"Can we talk outside?" Deoye asked when she has dropped the plate of noodles.
"No problem."
Darasimi followed him out of her room. Deoye led her to the backyard where the storex water tank was.
"I think I asked you to see me immediately you return. So why the delay?" Deoye asked.
"Am sorry. I just wanted to eat before coming." She said
apologetically.
"I called you because of Chioma, your friend. I want you to lead her into my waiting hands. She's been avoiding me ever since they(the five of them) killed Hadiza." Deoye explained.
"How sure are you that they killed Hadiza?"
"Don't ask me questions. Make sure you lead her out to me
tomorrow eight o'clock in the night. How you want to achieve that I don't want to know." Deoye said as he handed over a brown envelope to
her. Darasimi collected the evelop and stuffed it into her back pocked.
They both walked back inside to meet the guys already playing with all
manners of things they could lay their hands on.
"Come on guys. We gotta leave this place." Deoye said.
The guys all stopped what they were doing and filed out of the room.
"How come you weren't sweating? He did it well right?" Scorpion
whispered to Darasimi who just smiled.

Five minutes later, the guys drove out in mass leaving the
compound empty and deserted. Darasimi decided to start cooking all over
again but this time she opted to fry egg and eat it with bread. She
checked the envelope before dashing out of the compund to buy bread at
Harmony. She realised she was fifteen thousand naira richer.
Just as she came out of the gate, a young man accosted her.
"Hi." The man greeted.
"Hey." She replied impatiently.
"My name is Jones and I want to know your name." Sergeant Mike said.
"Dara." She replied.
"Who is that guy you were talking to at the back the other time?"
the fake Jones asked.
"Don't tell me you've been stalking me."
"No am not. Its my job."
"His name is Deoye."
"He lives here right?" Mike asked.
"Room 11. The other side, upsatairs." She replied.
"Thank you very much. My name is Mike, sergeant Mike." He
introduced flashing his identification card.


Darasimi was scared but she waved off the fear considering the fact that she was no criminal neither did she commit any crime. "Maybe Deoye is on the wanted list. Afterall he is a cultist." She thought as she walked into Mama Harmony restaurant.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Tell me more about Dayo, since you said you live under the same roof at home." Clement said to Dolapo.
"She keeps a diary where she writes a host of her dealings and worries. I can get it for you but not now." Dolapo said.
"I'll give it to the CSO then you can collect it from him." Chioma volunteered."
"Thank you very much. I have to go now, we are currently interrogating the guy who led Hadiza out of the party. And you guys be careful in your dealings with Darasimi or what's her name."
"Thank you sir."
"I should be thanking you." Clement rose up and went downstairs where he parked his car. He drove off to pick Mike at the juntion and they drove off to the school's security post.

Updates resumes tomorrow by the special grace of God.

@PrinceAdepoju:

I really appreciate your well constructed criticism.
1. The paragraph and the spacing stuff was as a result of the phone I
use in updating. If you followed my previous stories you'll know my
updates are not stuffy.
2. Characters: I agree with you that the characters are too much but I
think I said this before the start of chapter 2 that there will be
introduction of some new characters. Janet, Sandra, Benson are not just
introduced, they all played a part in the story. That was why I
introduced some characters in the prologue with what they do and I try
to remind us every character once they are mentioned by adding a
bracket. e.g Deoye(late Hadiza's boyfriend).
3. On how Okoro got kidnapped and Ngozi getting to the hospital. I think
I replied a similar question, Okoro was kidnapped by the terrorist who
disguised as a bikeman, and how Ngozi left the spot. I think in one of
my updates, Inspector Burahimo ordered a certain Sergeant Habeeb to lead
two teams and provide immediate cover for Okoro and Ngozi. A shootout
ensued because the backup team followed the path which the terrorist van
had took.
And when I gave my phone to a guy who helped me type when I was out, he
jumped two episodes, the shootout and Okoro's struggle till he was
locked up.
Once again thanks for calling my attention to important things. I'll definitely improve.

TIME: 10:00AM
VENUE: THE STATE'S TEACHING HOSPITAL.
__________________________________________
Ngozi has been sleeping for over ten hours now. Right from when she
woke up the previous day and grown hyperactive and dangerous. The doctor
treating her sedated her with a very strong drug and it has been
having effects on her. She woke up twice yesterday and all she asks for
was food and water. Same thing with this morning and based on
calculations made by her watchman, Thomas. He knew she'd be up in a
matter of time Maybe minutes.
Just then the door into the ward opened and Inspector Burahimo walked
in with the CSP(Chief Supritendent of police) of the Area F-command,
Haruna.
"Sir." Thomas saluted the two officers immediately they walked in.
Burahimo eased him with a wave of hand.
"How is she now?" CSP Haruna asked.
"Her condition is improving gradually all thanks to the infatigable
doctors that we have here." Thomas explained.
"Have you asked the doctor when she'll be discharged?" Inspector
Burahimo asked.
"Actually sir...."
She coughed thereby bringing everyone's attention to her side. She
opened her eyes slowly afterwards.

"How you feeling now?" Haruna asked with concern after the two
senior officials had told her to stay put and not bother to stress
herself in greeting them.
Ngozi felt important the moment she saw CSP Haruna inside her ward.
The Police boss is someone who believed in himself and thinks he is
above every other policeman under his jurisdiction. The last time Haruna
visited a policeman in the hospital was when the state's commisioner of
police was shot by some unknown gunmen who attacked his church. Haruna
visiting her placed her cards high alongside top police officials. This
shows the level at which her contribution is appreciated.
Ngozi who could vividly remember what happened last before she woke up
in the hospital. She was shot in the arm and at the same time witnessed a
fellow policeman killed with a grenade bomb. The sight was horrific and
she passed out.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hakym and his boys had their van parked in a bush behind the deputy
governor's villa just opposite his office in the Government residential
area of the state. The big mansion which was painted white housed the
state's deputy governor and few of his family members, his wife and
first son to be precise. The others are far away in the western
countries. The mansion stood opposite the deputy governor office as the
GRA road demacated the two buildings from eachother.
"We all know how tight the security of this house is and to carry
out our mission successfuly at night is very dangerous and am sure if we
leave some stones unturned, we'll end up leaving this place in pieces.
So let us all pay attention to detail." Hakym lectured.
A man in his late twenties dressed in a blck pullover and a black jean
trouser removed some set of papers lined inside a brown envelope.
"This is the main gate through which the convoy will drive in, it
is guarded by five uniformed men on the outside and three inside. Its is
a no go area. The west entrance on the other side leads to an
underground system which is connected to the governor's chamber. Ten
millitary men are on ground. I believe our best option is to attack from a vantage position and drop the men guarding the east entrance. we'll move in in mass and advance from there." The young man continued.
"What are our chances?" Hakym asked.
"We are between twenty to thirty percent." The man who was later introduced as Joe replied.
"Which means we are far from being successful?" Hakym asked.
"Yes. And I don't see a reason why Maleek wanted us to attack the deputy governor. And he refused to let Danger-kelv come here with us." Joe compained.

More comments and criticism is all I ask for. It won't take you up to a minute to type and post words of encouragement and if it is criticism it won't take you more than five minutes. But if you really want to help someone today to get better in what they do, five minutes is not too much.
I will always take your criticism in good faith even if they are destructive.

Believe me the comments will come just give me the go ahead to do something about it.[quote
author=candy]You guys shouldn't just read and pass na, leave your
comments...and please point out errors where you see 'em. I'm just a
learner with a story [/quote]

TIME: 10AM
VENUE: HARMONY LODGE.
__________________________________________
Darasimi alighted from a campus shuttle at a junction popularly known
as Harmony. The street was named harmony because of a house built for
student's of the university for rentage. The logde was known as Harmony
lodge. By the roadside at the junction stood Harmony cool spot. A
popular bear palour and pepper soup joint owned by Mama Harmony.
"Weldone Mama Harmony." Darasimi greeted the woman who owned the
cool spot and the lodge.
"Dara omo mi. Bawo ni?" (Dara my daughter. How is everything?"
Mama Harmony asked.
"Adupe fun olorun." (we thank God) Darasimi replied.
She was a regular stopper at Harmony cool spot where she normally have
her meals when she is too tired to cook. And discount enjoyed by the
occupants of Harmony lodge is enormous. Buy a plate of rice worth #200
and get a bottle of drink free or pepper soup.
She was an easy going girl who lived her life in a predictable
manner. Wake up in the morning, do her chores, get dressed and go to
school, come back home and sleep. She doesn't go to parties neither does
she keep friends. She had just five friends who lived inside the school
hostel whom she occasionally visits and vice versa.
She unlocked the black gate through the hole bored on the iron gate.
She entered the compound which is the base for most engineering students
of the school. Two cars were parked inside the compund instead of the
normal three cars meaning one of the car owner is out enjoying himself
with his car-less friends who will jump at the opportunity of a free
ride.
A black Hyundai was one of the two cars belonging to Adeoye(late
Hadiza's boyfriend) also an engineering student in his final year.
"Hey babe." A guy popularly referred to as Scorpion greeted her
from his room.
"Scorpy. How far na?" She replied and opened the door into her
room downstairs.
Even though Darasimi was brought up in the christian way. Since
gaining admission four years ago, she has since lost some of the good
characters imbibed in her. she now behave like every occupants of
Harmony lodge. Harmony lodge has a sharp contrast to its name. The
compound is far from being peaceful, since most of the boys occupying
the rooms are either cultist or influential students of the school. So
its either they fight because of girls or they fight to stamp authority.

On entering her room, she opened her wardrobe and picked a packet
of noodles which she planned on eating. Her roomate, Sade travelled home
to check on her sick mother.
She walked into the kitchen as typical of other rooms in the whole
lodge. A room, a kitchen and a bathroom incorporated with convinience
materials.
She began cooking and in few minutes, the compound which seemed quiet
when she walked in was begining to bustle.
"Oya place your bets." A guy said to the others.
"Na five thousand I wan put o." A familiar voice replied.
The boys were playing their usual abnormal gambling game and today's
game seems not to be different. The task is anyone who can jump into a
car through the window without having any body contact with the car
body. The car being used was the black Hyundai belonging to Deoye. A short statured guy opted to do the jumping and he did it successfully.
"Oya give him his money." Deoye ordered bringing out the five thousand he promised earlier and giving it to the boy.
A two hundred level naive but rich kid who was referred to as a common jew by the big boys of the lodge put up a struggle with them.
"I didn't say I want to place a bet. I just said he can't do the jumping." The boy replied.
"I close my eyes now. Go bring your laptop and give it to Samson." Deoye ordered the boy who ran into his room which is beside Darasimi's room. Samson is the guy who jumped.
"Who dey cook for this area na?" Scorpion asked.
"e be like sey na Sade o." Samson replied.
"Tar! Sade don travel na. Make we go check. Boys gats to chop na."
The guys(numbering up to twelve) excluding Tayo(the jew kid) who stood holding his laptop all walked toward's Darasimi's room.
"Hold that lappy well o." Deoye advised.
"Kpom kpom kpom." Sounded the knock on the door.
