Episode Seven

Two weeks later,

Blessing was walking down from the bus stop closest to her house when she felt like she was being followed she quickly turn to look around but she was not the only one walking towards her house,

She was frightened, when she was about to continue walking her eyes caught a shadow quickly darting around the building not far from her right.

Her heart was thumping now she turned quickly and she started running to her house, she hit someone just when she was not more than a stone throw from her house.

She breathed a sigh of relief she waited to catch her breath but a strong hand clasped her nose and then her throat, he started pulling her to the forest area but blessing was having none of it,

She stamped his foot with her high heels before she tried bolting away she didn't get far, he grabbed the pipe on the floor and hit her hard on the head she fell down immediately.

When he felt her pulse she was dead he held unto her with his gloved hands and started crying, he couldn't believe he had killed her

"Forgive me" he told the body in between tears when she did not answer he stood up took one of her ear ring, cleaned his shoe prints and walked out of the place he knelt down and started crying again when he heard the scream of the person who had just seen the dead body.

Dr Alex was whistling when he entered the police station he had finished analysing the evidence he got from Peter about two weeks ago and he had every reason to believe Elizabeth was still alive.

The atmosphere he meet in the office was different from the mood he brought from home but he quickly asked the officer that was standing guard at the door

What is the problem? He asked after he signed the entry register

"A woman was found dead and we have reason to believe that the culprits are the same person" the officer replied him

“Don't conclude yet they might be different people with different motives he told the moody officer”

"The forensic officers are waiting for you sir" he told the doctor who quickly turned to the direction of his department.

"From the evidence of two weeks ago and the body from today I have reasons to believe the culprits are different people with different motives" Dr Alex was speaking to the operations team working on the case,

Why do say so? Peter asked

"He kidnapped Elizabeth without any struggle the first time and when it came to Blessing there was signs of struggling"

"I think it is more than enough to say someone else is trying to use the confusion in town to cause havoc" the doctor continued.

Peter looked at the documents carefully before raising his hand

Everyone waited to hear what he had in mind,

"I have reasons to believe they are the same person and the perpetrator is within the vicinity of both the deceased and the abducted"

"The home location of the two girls are not that far from themselves so let us limit the scope of our search to that area for now" Peter finished looking at their faces

"I think I agree with you" one of the team member spoke out before everyone started mumbling their agreement

How the hell? John asked himself sitting under a tree at the front of his house,

How come it is now I am here with Beatrice things like this are happening?.

What is his motive and is the culprit living around that street to target two woman within two weeks?

So many questions without answers, isn't it? Beatrice asked interrupting his train of thought

He looked up to see his girlfriend stretching out an apple to him, he accepted it mumbling his thanks before he noticed that she was dressed for an outing,

Where are you going to? He asked

"To Blessing's house" Beatrice answered shrugging already knowing what he was going to say next,

"Okay you know what I am going to say next but I am interested in going with you this time" he told while standing up.

Beatrice hooked her hands in his arm smiling, are you coming so you can protect me? She asked with a teasing smile

He didn't reply her, he had better not. He was angry she was still not seeing the reason to return home.
