Matthew lay in the bed examining the polystyrene tiled ceiling. There was nothing else to look at. He could hear moans from the other room and that at least made him glad for the wall, it meant he didn't have to engage with whoever it was, to show any sympathy he didn't feel....

"How are you feeling....?"Henry ask dragging out a chair from under the table to sit...,, for a moment, he kept staring at Matthew's bandaged body, he could been another person laying on the hospital bed or worse dead if their attacker had succeeded...

Matthew groaned in pains as he tried to adjust himself, Henry quickly move to help him..

"You don't need to help me.."Matthew said weighing into the support from Henry..."Trust me, two bullets wouldn't have killed me.."

Henry almost chuckle but the volume of his thoughts couldn't allow it...., he let go of Matthew after he sat up, his back leaning on the wall....

"How are you feeling now..?"Henry asked again

"Not good at the least.."Matthew replied, he grimace when he tried to reposition his body but quickly realise how futile it was when sharp pain swept across his face......

"You know who did this..?"Henry ask walking back to the chair..

"If I knew, I would be going after that bastard now..."

Henry gritted wondering if telling him it's Samuel is a good thing or not....

"How did you know i was shot.."Matthew ask, his hand holding the bandaged bullet wound every chance he gets..

"Someone called from your phone..., I came afterwards..."

Henry took Matthew phone out and handed it to him.., Matthew glance through the phone, he had several missed calls, most from his friends in the village...

"We were attacked too..."Henry said, his voice rumbling low than he anticipated...

Matthew raised his brow, a bit shocked by the words..."Are you alright. ?"

"I'm fine.., it wasn't me they were after.., they came for Susan.."

"Oh God..!"Matthew mutter..

Henry's forehead creases as he remenbered the attack, the firece gun been pointed at them....
"Susan thinks is Samuel..."Henry said

"Same Samuel that stole my sister's story..?"

"Yes..."Henry replied with frown lines encroaching his forehead.."And after everything that has happened, I'm beginning to think so too.., he must have send someone to kill you too..."

"Why me..., I never did anything to him.."

"I strongly believe he's trying to clear us out.., Susan slapped and threatened to take everything from him.., you're Anita's sister, Anita is the reason behind his wealth..., I think he's feeling insecure, he must think one of us will go back for his wealth.., that's why he's trying to wipe us all out..."

Matthew's breathe came in gasp as different questions he didn't have answers to evade his head......

"When you're strong, you should get your sister out of there before something happens to her..."

"If Samuel did this to us, we should tell the police.."

"The police works for him.."

"Does he have that much influence.. ?"

"Whoever is rich have influence over anything..."

"Then there must be a way to bring him down.."

"There should..."Henry replied immediately..."But we have to live to find that out.."He withdrew and rest his back on the chair..."Susan and I have decided to leave town for a while.."

"You're running away..?"

"It's for our own safety.."Henry said.., he kept still for a moment before more words spurt out of his mouth..."I suggest you do same with Anita, I strongly believe whoever he sent to attack us will come after us again if they found out we're not dead.."

"We can't just run into hiding like that.., one little boy can't chase us into hiding.."

"It's your decision..."Henry said..."If you choose to stay you can stay..."

"So you're just going to run?"

"I'm not running.., I'm trying to survive, not just me but Susan.., she's all I got..."

Matthew sigh but didn't say anything...

Henry sniffle and look around, only to glance at his phone seconds later...."It's getting dark.., I need to go.."

"How can one person be doing all this to us.."Said Matthew before raising his gaze to Henry.."He made my sister mad, broke your girlfriends leg and now this..."

Henry brows furrowed, after everything Samuel had done to them, he deserves nothing but death....

"Can't we face him head on..?"Matthew ask

Henry sniffle again, a part of him tells him Matthew is right by his suggestion, running isn't always the answer..., perhaps running will make him a coward but sometimes, cowards live longer...

"Not like this..."Henry said..."Trust me we're not prepared for that.."

"This isn't right..."Said Matthew groaning from pains..."We can't just let him keep fùcking over us.."

Henry stood up, a bit fed up with the line of the discussion...."I've laid my options down, and running carries the most weight.., I'm choosing it not just for me but for the woman I love..., if you love your sister, you would do same...."

Matthew lips curled but no words came out...

"I'll be taking my leave.."Henry said.."We'll keep in touch.."He added and walk over to the door....

"Goodluck friend.."Matthew said

Henry turn around to take one last glance at him...."Good luck too.."

With those words, Henry opened the door and left the room, left the hospital premises and head for home....to Susan..

Mr Smith took his eyes from the TV and pick up his phone, he hesitated before he scroll over to a contact and dialled it.., he waited impatiently as it began to ring, when it connected, he kept quiet waiting for the receiver to talk first..

"Boss..."The receiver said from the other end..

"Are you watching the news channel..?"Mr Smith ask

There was silence before the receivers voice came again..."Yes boss.."

"You said you buried her where no one will see her.., a dog dug her body out you fool.."

"I buried her well boss.."The receiver said.."I'm wondering how her body suffice into the surface.. "

Mr Smith scoffs...."This better doesn't fall back to me...."

"It won't boss, I can assure you that.."

Infuritated, Mr Smith ended the call...."Incapable fool.."He sneer...

He shift back his gaze to the TV, his mind brooding over the moment he killed her, a straight bullet to her head and her blood splashed all over the wall..., disgusted with the thought, he picked up the remote and turn off the TV....






They say some things don't stay buried.....

EPISODE 44









Festus could feel his heart pounding as the question rings in his head, he set a foot backward only to set it forward again when he realise it won't just be suspicious but stupid...

"He..he.."Festus stammered trying to form words..

"You do know you're talking to the authorities.."George chime in looking at Festus expression.

Festus swallowed as he tried to comport himself, thoughts of what could make the authorities be looking for Samuel jingle in his head.....

"He's not around.."He said alas...

Theresa glance at George, her eyes sending a doubtful signal...
"Where did he go..?"She ask looking back at Festus

"I don't know.."Festus replied with a shrugged..."I was asleep when he left.."

"Call him.."George said slightly pocketing his right hand..

Festus eyelids drooped as he ponder once again over the reason why the special agents were looking for Samuel, perhaps they found out something, something that could put them all in danger...

"Why should I do that. ?"Festus ask, his eyes darting with the question..

George glance at Theresa before reverting his gaze to Festus...
"We really need to see him.."He said taking his hand from his pocket..

"Is he in any kind of trouble..?"Festus queried with a shrug.

"He's not"Theresa replied..."But we do have something important to discuss with him.."

"Well he's not around.."Festus replied shapily..."Perhaps some other time.."

"Perhaps today.."George said, his eyes waggling with the statement...

"I told you before. "Festus said, a slight irritation burning across his face.."He's not in...."

Theresa sigh and looked George way, for a second, their eyes stayed locked until Theresa broke the connection by reverting her gaze to Festus., for a minute, she just stood looking at him trying to get the line that stands between lies and truth.., she was about talking when her phone vibrated in her pocket.., she suck on her teeth and quickly took her phone out..

"It's Mammoth. "She said to George after seeing the caller..., she didn't bother waiting for George reply before she answered the call....

"Hey.."She said taking a few steps away from Festus and the securities....

"I'm sending you a picture..."Mammoth voice came from the other end....

"Alright..."Theresa mutter, her phone vibrated after a minute., she sigh and tap on the message., her eyes enlarged at the sight of the picture making her quickly take the phone back to her ear....

"Her body was found at uplift Street....."Mammoth said from the other end..

Theresa sigh and glance over George's side...."What happened to her..?"

"There is a bullet hole on her head, close range.."Mammoth said.."Whoever killed her meant business...."

Theresa exhale and looked George way wondering who she is...."Does anyone know about this..?"

There was silence before Mammoth voice came again..."Reporters are reporting live as we speak..."

"We're on our way..."She said, waited a bit before she ended the call..

"What is it..?"George ask curiously...

"Mammoth found a body.."She said showing him the picture..."He said she was shot dead, straight to the head.."

"Who is she..?"George ask giving the phone back..

"No idea..."Theresa replied before turning back to face Festus.., she heaved a deep sigh, her guts telling her Festus was lying about Samuel's whereabouts.....

"If Samuel returns, tell him we'll be back.."She said to him

Festus replied with a nod.., he stood watching them as they leave..., a great sigh escaped from his mouth when they walked out the gate..

"Hey..."He called snapping his finger at one of the security men......"Don't let those bastards in here again."He said to the security men..

Without getting a reply from them, he went back into the house and rushed upstairs in search of Samuel....







****************
It wasn't long before Henry got to the hospital, he look around the moment he set foot into the corridor, The hospital corridor is stuffy and the air has an undertone of bleach. The walls are magnolia and are scraped in places from the hundreds of trolleys that have bumped into them. The pictures on the walls are cheap benign prints of uplifting scenes and above the double doors are large blue plastic signs with the areas of the hospital that lie ahead....., he made a sigh to relief himself from the dainty smell of drugs.....

He trot on remembering the guy with Matthew's phone had told him he was sitting in the lobby..., ahead, he saw the open double doors that leads to the waiting area, he quickly hasten his feet, he has already made up his mind not to spend more time than he had to.., he had to get back to Susan as quickly as possible...

With different thoughts bubbling in his head, he walked over to the double doors, he stopped to look around to see if the guy with Matthew's phone would recognise him, he sniffle as smell of drugs found way into his nose.., he quickly took out his phone and dialled Matthew's number again..

On the far end of the lobby, he saw a guy taking out a phone from his pocket, he watched him until he answered...

"I've seen you.."Henry said over the phone before he began walking towards him...

"Hi."The guy said extending his hand for a handshake.

There was a softness to his appearance, a kind of warmth married to a shyness. It was the look of an honest soul.., a brief smile surround Henry's lips as he brace the handshake....

"I'm Shedrack.."The guy said separating from the handshake..

"Henry.."Henry replied with eyes almost darting around..."What happened...?"He added returning his gaze to him...

"Like I said on the phone he was shot.."Shedrack said...

"And the person that shot him wasn't caught...?"Henry ask curiously, the attack at his house found way to his head again, it angered him even when he didn't need to and once more he felt the need to go back home to Susan, those thoughts of not been save began to found way back to him, he was scared once more, scared something was happening to Susan and he isn't there to protect her..

"It happened in the blink of an eye.."Shedrack replied, his words jolting Henry from his thoughts....

Henry look around again as if he was desperately searching for something, his fear began to summon horrible thoughts in his head, he ignored it and face Shedrack again.."Where is he now..?"

"The doctor said he had regained consciousness, they've removed the bullet though..."

"Without police permission...?"Henry ask quickly

Shedrack smile, a smile that disappear as it came.."My brother is a policeman.., his influence convinced the doctor...."

"Mmm"

"Anyway I haven't gone inside to see him.., wanted you to see him first..."

He gritted realising the more time he waste the more he could be missing an opportunity to save Susan from any impending danger...."What room is he..?"

"Room 9, men's ward.."

"Thank you.."Henry muttered

"Anyone could have done it..."Shedrack said with a chuckle..

"Not everyone have a good heart...."

"Yeah I know that.."

"You have a good heart.."Henry said

Shedrack suck on his teeth, then he lower his gaze to glance at his wrist watch, there he noticed there was blood stain on it probably from Carrying Matthew's blood soaked body to the hospital...

"I have to run..."He said taking his gaze back to Henry....

"Are you sure you don't want to see him...?"Henry ask

"Nope.."Shedrack drag between his teeth...."I'm running late for something..."

"Oh...!"Henry exclaimed.."But it would be best if he says his thanks, even if it's just for a minute.., he ought to know the guy that saved him.."

"You already thanked me.."Shedrack replied, his face lighting up....."Moreover I didn't do what I did to be thanked..., I just did it because it was the right thing to do.."

"Thank you.."Henry reiterates..

Shedrack sigh and handed him Matthew's phone...."Take care of him.."

"I will..."Henry replied taking the phone from him...

He watched till he walk out of the lobby and out of sight, when he ventured into the wards, he quickly remenbered he didn't ask him if he paid the hospital bills....

On the men's ward the atmosphere was completely different. The air had a perfumed scent and the seats were plush. Every surface was dustless. The nurses were unhurried and they moved with a serene purposefulness from room to room on their rounds. There were vases of flowers and beautiful framed pieces of art on the walls. In the corridor was a water dispenser and in most rooms could be heard the noise of a television...., but even the porsh system couldn't stop the smell of drugs, he has always hated the smell of drugs, ever since he was a young child, he has never liked the way drugs smell nor taste.....

He trot on glancing at the number in the doors, he remembered Shedrack telling him Matthew's room number was room 9.., when he walked up to room 8, he took a deep breathe knowing fully well the next number is his final destination....

Gettig there, he stood at the door as if contemplating whether to enter or not.., just then it dawned on him that he needed to be fast, Susan is all alone by herself.....
He took a deep breathe to calm his panic before he pushed the room door door open...







****************
"Samuel...."Festus shouted as he glided down the staircase....

"Why are you screaming my name...?"Samuel queried picking up the remote to change the TV channel...

"How did you get here...?"Festus ask walking towards him.."I've been looking for you everywhere...."

"I was in the kitchen."Samuel replied crunching down on the sofa..."Trying to fix something to eat since the lady in the house has refused to cook.."

Festus sniffle before he stepped in his front...."The police were here..."

"The police..!"Samuel reiterates, the alertness of the words making him sit up...."What for..?"

"I don't know.., thought you would tell me since they were looking for you.."

"What did you tell them..?"

Festus frown at the question...

"Festus what did you tell them..?"Samuel ask again, this time with more seriousness in his tone..

"What would you have prefer i tell them..?"

"Don't do this shit with me, what did you tell them.?"

"Nothing..."

"Are you sure..?"Samuel ask anxiously

"I told them you're not around.."

"You just said nothing.."Samuel said standing up to look through the window, when he saw no one but the security men, he closed the curtains and face Festus......"Are you sure you told them nothing..?"

"If I had said something more than what I just told you, I would know.."

Samuel swallowed forcefully and ran his fingers through his hair..

"What have you done this time..?"Festus queried

"Nothing..."Samuel replied impetuously

"What do you mean nothing., the police don't just show up out of the blue and come to our doorsteps...."

"I did nothing okay.."He blare out...

"Did you..?"Festus ask..

Samuel brows knitted as he turn his furious gaze at him...."Did i what..?"

"Did you still carry out your plans of killing those girls..?"

Samuel took away his face, stood up from the chair and walk over to another edge of the room..

"Sammy...

"Yes.."Samuel cut in brusquely..."And they're all dead."

"What....!"Festus exclaimed shocked Samuel still carried out his plans..."Do you know the repercussion of what you did.., you're going to put all of us in trouble when the police starts nosing around...., the people that came here today weren't just policemen, they were special agents, the fùcking intelligent ones.."

Samuel didn't reply, didn't want to, he had to kill them, all of them were becoming an unbearable thorn in his flesh.., Susan's threats kept ringing in his head, he kept dreaming of how his wealth was taken away by them.. they had to die...

"Guys..."Success blare out from the balcony..

Both boys looked up and watch her climbed down from the staircase...

"You need to see this.."Success said taking the earpiece from her ears, she picked up the TV remote and change the channel to a news station....

"Does that woman look familiar to you two..?"Success ask pointing at a dead body displayed on the screen....

"Nurse Titi.."Festus mutters as he took a careful look at the picture on the screen, just then it dawned on his mind...."Nurse Titi is dead..?"He blared out quizzically...

Samuel drew closer to the TV, he needed to be sure the news was right..

"They're saying a woman and her dog found her body in their backyard.., she was buried nàked"Success said

"If she's dead.."Festus said as his head bubble with questions...."Who killed her...?"

Success looked Samuel's way as the question bounce around in her head.....

"Stop looking at me that way, I didn't kill her.."Samuel said folding his hands... "But it's a good thing she's dead..., my enemies are falling one by one.."

EPISODE 43
EPISODE TITLE - This evil call doctor









Susan sat down on the wheelchair, dominated by a profound sadness, fatigue engraved on her worn face, The sorrow grew more profound each minute she spent in her quiet, the house once lively was now a taunting memories of attacks and gunshots.., The sadness drained through her rather than skating over her skin. It travelled through every cell to reach the ground. She filtered it yet strangely enough she still held her facade..., she doesn't want to cry, crying will only make her weak.....
She pick up her phone only to drop it a second later..., when she heard footsteps from behind her, she looked back to see Henry walking towards her....

She sigh and get her attention from the noise outside and fused her gaze on Henry...

"How are you doing..?"Henry ask folding his hands across his chest.., his question is stupid he knows, anyone who have gone through what she had won't be fine.....

Susan didn't reply, didn't want to, the enormity of her thoughts beats heavily on her and all she wants now is vengeance....

Henry sigh, took a glance back at the men who were now carrying the dead body on a car, their plan is to patrol the dead burnt body around town probably to send a message to anyone who would dare to do what their attacker did, Henry knew better, he knows the street youths plans will worsened everything.., whoever that had sent their attacker will come back to finish the job...

"I think we should leave for a while.."He said releasing his hands from his chest..

Susan expected it, her life has become shreds upon shreds since she got involved with Samuel.., it's probably him who had sent someone to kill her....

"Leave me.."She said turning her face away.., she had stressed Henry enough and her presence will be putting him more in danger....

"What do you mean leave you..?"Henry ask stepping in her front...."This isn't about you Susan, this is about our safety..., whoever sent that guy to kill us...

"To kill me.."Susan cut in...

Henry took a pause to take a deep breathe..

"He aimed the gun at me before you came out of the bathroom...."Susan continue..."Whoever sent him.., sent him to kill me..."

Henry sniffle and bend a knee to her sitting level..."Whoever he came to kill doesn't matter..., as long as he's dead, news will fly.., his associates will come for us.."

Susan exhale, she didn't want to put him in danger but danger seems to breathe around them.., he's in much danger as she is and the only person she can truly look up to for protection is him....

"Fine.."She said after much hesitation..."Where are we going to..?"

"We can't go to your house.."Henry said touching her left knee..."If they found my place, they must know yours too...., I spoke to a friend earlier.., he's willing to take us in.., he lives outskirt of town.."

"Does your friend knows someone tried to kill me.?"
Henry kept quiet as if he was pondering over the answer...."No.., I only told him someone tried to rob us.., he got caught and got burnt.., I told him I'm scared his friends might come for us.."

"And he agreed to take us in..?"Susan ask

Henry shrugged before he force the words out of his mouth.."Yes..., for a while anyway till everything dies down."

Susan look away only to return her gaze to him a second later..."I still think you should leave without me.."

"No way"

"I don't want to be a burden to anyone especially to you.."

"You're not a burden to me" Henry said, his voice rumbling low "You can never be a burden to me.."He sigh, lower his gaze and look up to her again.."You remenber what I told you when I told you I love you and you said you were going to think about it...."

Susan lifted her chin as she brood over the day...

"I told you I'm not promising you I'm going to be rich neither will I be poor.., only what I can promise you is I'll protect you with my life if the need arises and I meant every word of it..."

"You don't owe me anything.."She said faintly.., a smile almost pinching the corners of her mouth...

"I don't..."He said.."But I'm keeping my words.."

Susan felt relief, the words gave her comfort, gave her hope that someone still cares about her...., for a moment she forgot her sorrows, her pains and wear a smile....

Henry smile back and just when he was about saying another word, his phone rang, wondering who was calling, he stood up from his knee and took his phone from his pocket...

"It's Matthew..."Henry said after seeing the caller...

Susan didn't say a word but motioned him to answer....

"Matthew.."Henry said when he answered...

There was silence from the other end, Henry flinched wondering why the caller was saying nothing ....

"Please are you a friend to the person who owns this phone.."A tense voice sounded from the other end..

Shock swept across Henry's face but he didn't say anything..

"The owner of this phone is in the hospital.."The caller said

"Hospital..!"Henry reiterates, the alertness of the words making Susan look his way...."What do you mean he's in the hospital..?"

"He was shot by a racing bike man.."The caller said

Henry's heart pounded at the news.., his mouth dropped before he revert his gaze to Susan...

"What happened?" Susan ask worried by Henry's shocked state...

"Your number is the last in his received calls, that's why I called you to inform you..."The caller said

"What hospital is he..?"Henry ask sharpily...

"St Jonas..."The caller said

"Is he alright...?"Henry ask with a cringe at Susan..

"I don't know man.."The caller said.."If you're close, I suggest you come.."

"On my way.."Henry said and ended the call..

"What did he say..?"Susan ask immediately.."What happened to Matthew..?"

Matthew took a step away from her, he look around as if looking for anything, he hesitated a bit before looking back at Susan.."He was attacked too.."

"What..!"Susan shouted..

"The caller said he was shot..."

"Oh my God.."Susan mutter..."It's him..., it can only be him...."

"What are you talking about..?"Henry ask

Susan raise her gaze to his face.., her Once smiling face retracting into a frown...."It's Samuel.., he wants to kill all of us...."

Henry swallowed deeply, he knows fully well the only person that could want Matthew and Susan dead is only him..only Samuel.., he quickly brood over the day Susan had slapped him.., the anger in Samuel's eyes scared him then and he feared he was going to retaliate..this could be his retaliation....

"Anita.."Susan blared out...."You need to save Anita, they're going to kill her.."

"I'm not leaving you here.."Henry said shapily ...

"You have to.."She said.."If Matthew was shot, Anita will be next.."

"I'm not leaving you here" Henry insisted

"This isn't just about me, you need..

"The only person I'm saving is you."Henry cut in

"Please..."Susan mutter holding his hand..."Save Anita and go see Matthew in the hospital, I'll be fine..."

"The only way I can save Anita is saving Matthew..., he's the only one who can take legal action against that doctor..."

"Go to the hospital then"

"I don't want to leave you here.."Henry said

"With those angry youths outside..."Susan said pointing outside.."I doubt if anyone will come here..."

Henry sigh, he knows fully well arguing was stupid, when Susan sets her mind on something she'll keep insisting till it's done.., he knows for a fact they're all in mortal danger and he's scared of leaving Susan all by herself..., though the angry youths are still outside even after carrying the burnt body in the open truck of a hilux..., his instincts tells him they might leave anytime soon, nobody is going to stay watching someone that in fact isn't related to any of them....

"Fine I'll go.."He said..."But if anything goes wrong, call me immediately"

"I will.."

"Do you promise..?"

She hesitated before she said the words..."Yes."






****************
"Crazy bitch...."Dr Charana sneer before slamming the door..., she pace about for a second before she stood and began looking around....

"Damn it.."She purred.."I've misplaced the syringe.."

"Are you calm now..?"Andrew ask folding his hands across his chest..

"I'm not calm.., that crazy girl is driving me crazy...., where the hell did she wander to..?"

"That's exactly what I want to discuss with you.."Andrew said stepping closer...."I don't think she's crazy as we think..."

"Hasn't she been taking the drugs..?"Charana ask pacing from wall to wall....

Andrew nibbed.."She has but....

"We've been using those drugs for years..., she doesn't look sane to me..."

"Have you asked yourself how she manage to walk out from her room, where she hid while everyone was looking for her..?"

"She isn't the first mad person here to wander around...."She pace to the wall, stop and look around again...."I need to give her another injection since I lost the first one..."

Andrew nibbed and took a step back..

Charana exhale and turn to face her ringing phone, she pick it up and quickly frown when she saw the killer....

"It's Samuel..."She said with a sigh...

"What is he calling for...?"

Refusing to give him the dignity of a reply, she look away and answered the call....

"Hello.."She said, a line in her voice trailing between worried and anger...

"Are they dead..?"Samuel's voice came from the other end....

Dr Charana took a deep breathe, then she looked Andrew's way before words came from her mouth..."I told you I won't fail..."She said, a mirthless smile surrounding her lips...

"Susan is dead..?"Samuel's ask from the other end....

Dr Charana frown as she remenbered what Vialo had told her....."Yes.."She said keying into Vialo promise to kill her before nightfall....."Together with Anita's brother..., the only people left are Anita's siblings in the village..., one of my men is there as we speak, very soon they'll be history..."

"I knew I could count on you..."

Dr Charana lips curled as she moved from where she stood to another corner of the office..."So when am I expecting my balance...?"

There was silence before Samuel's voice came again..."Tonight..., prepare the mad girl, tomorrow, I'm paying her a visit.."

A smile surrounds Dr Charana's lips, when the call ended and dropped, the frown lines that had once eluded her face came crawling back..., she exhale and look back at Andrew....

"We need to get Anita ready., Samuel will be paying her a visit tomorrow...."

"You're worried.."Andrew said stepping forward..."And I know it isn't about Samuel's visit.."

"I told him Susan and Matthew are dead.."

"Isn't that a good thing..?"

"No.., Vialo called earlier, Susan is still alive and Matthew..., that son of a bitch didn't even tell me anything about him...."

She up her phone again, after a slight breathe, she dialled Vialo number.., she waited impatiently for Vialo to answer the call, when he didn't answer and the call dropped..., she furiously dropped the phone on the table.

"Damn it.."She sneer...






*******************
The plasma screen sat in the corner like an unwelcome mirror, Festus tried not to look, he was paranoid and the stupid movie that was showing only fuel the anger inside him.., his foot tapped rhythmically up and down, his cheeks felt tight, then almost without a conscious thought he picked up the remote to select the music channel and sat back, mind comfortably blank once more.....

Just when he was getting moved by the beats of the music video, a light knock came on the door..., he turn his gaze towards the door wondering who was knocking, when the knock came again, he stood up and walk over to the window, there he saw the security men Samuel had newly employed with two people, two strange faces he has never seen before.....

When the knock came again, he walk towards the door wondering who the other two people are., he took a deep breathe before he opened the door....

"Is that him..?"George whispered in Dorothy's ears

Dorathy cast him an askance look and whisper back.."No.."

"Oh.."George purred, a smile almost curving up his lip..

"Agent Theresa..."Theresa said showing Festus an ID..."My colleague, Agent George..."

George raised a brow as he flaunt his own ID in the air...

"Special force, SLPC division.."Theresa said ignoring the security guards and taking a step closer..

Festus swallowed deeply as he wonder what agents of the special force could be doing in their house.....

"Samuel.."Theresa said.."Is he home..?"






*****************
Slowly, Rachel opened the room door, she stood and saw her sitting staring into space.., for a second she wonder if she was alright, wonder why she couldn't do anything when Dr Charana was hitting her.., it was more as if she was here but her entire being was somewhere else..., she stepped into the room with intentions of asking her why she didn't escape when she had the chance.., and this was the right moment to ask her, any moment from now she's afraid Dr Charana might show up with another syringe to inject her......

"Anita.."She called her name quietly but she didn't flinch neither did she turn to face her...

Rachel drew closer and sat behind her...."Anita, are you okay..?"She ask noticing the tears falling from her eyes..

"You must be curious why I came back.."Anita said her voice trailing low...

"Why..?"Rachel ask.."You had the chance..., why did you come back..?"

Anita sigh brooding over that moment she saw her...., the painful memory of it chase more tears in her eyes....

"Today.."Anita said, her voice raising a bit higher than before..."I saw someone.., someone from my hometown..."She pause as she remenbered her face.., the chains in her legs..., more tears rolled down, beads by beads, it drenched her face....."The person I saw today was one of the most influential person in our community.., she was a friend to us, we looked up to her but seven years ago she disappeared without a trace..."

"And she's here..?"Rachel cut curiously

Anita look her way as more tears dropped from her eyes..."She's here, chained like a dog to the bars of the wall.., she's dried up...."

"Oh my God..!"Rachel exclaimed.."Is that why you came back..?"

"I couldn't leave after I saw that..., she was so weak but in her weakness I discovered my own strength and right there i knew running away wasn't the answer..."

"Running away was the only logical thing to do..., you can't fight these people.."

She look away, she may be crying but inside, she was seething with anger......"I know I can't stop her but I can stop where she operates...."

"What do you mean..?"Rachel ask..

Anita blink and a tear fell down..., fires of fury burn from her eyes and for once in her life, she felt the need to fight for something....."I'm going to burn down this hospital...."She said giving in to the anger lingering inside her...."I'll watch it burn and crumble to the ground..."

"How do you intend doing down..?"Rachel ask getting up from the bed...

Anita raise her gaze towards her..."I'll find a way.., even if it kills me.., I'll bring this building down until nothing is left but debris and dust..."

"Let's do it then.."Rachel said extending her hand for an agreement...."Let us bring down the fires of hell and ruin this evil in form of a doctor once and for all..."

EPISODE 42









Vialo walked over to his bike, his rage building like deep water currents..., waves of fury rolled off him as he took off the handgloves from his hand and took his phone from his pocket.., the images of his burnt partner came like flashes in his head infuriating him more.., he pace about for a bit before finally dialling Dr Charana's number.....

He waited, angry and impatient for Dr Charana to answer..., when she didn't answer, he ended the call and call her again...

"This isn't the right time Vialo, I'm in a situation here..."Dr Charana tense voice came up from the other end the moment the call connected

Vialo sniffle, a fresh swell of rage rising up in him..."I'm in a worse situation here.."

There was silence, Vialo expected a reply but when he got none but side talks from the other end.., he continues..."Gaga is dead."

"What...?"Dr Charana voice came again, her voice coated in shock.....

"Those sick bastrads killed him.."Vialo sneer, his resentment towards the people that killed and burnt his friend growing inside him like a tumor....."They didn't only kill him, they burnt him.."

"How is that even possible...?"Dr Charana queried from the other end..."Are you telling me Susan is still alive...?"

"That bitch is still alive and Gaga is dead..."

"How could they have possibly caught Gaga, you told me he was a professional....."

Vialo clenched his fist, his forehead burrowing with the anger he's feeling....."I swear to God they're going to pay..., Susan, her little boyfriend, I'm going to give them the worse death ever.."

"You better do that Vialo.."Dr Charana angry voice blare out from the other end...."Because I'm not about to lose out on millions of naira because of your foolishness..., that girl better be dead before the end of day..."

Vialo went wordless with rage and quickly ended the call....







***************
Adrenaline floods Anita system pumping and beating like it was trying to escape..., she stopped, fear licking every part of her as she heard the alarm horn sound, they must have know she isn't in her room anymore and any minute from now, the whole hospital will be looking for her..., she turn around only to see some girls looking at her.., they weren't on workers uniform, the thought they could be guest or family of one of the patient comforted her..., she quickly looked away and look at herself, there she realise she was on barefoot, that must explain the reason they were looking at her, from the way her hair was rough, coupled with the oversized garment and how barefooted she was.., anyone must think she's a mad person....

She drove out the thoughts and walked on convincing herself she can do it, she can escape she's capable.., she quickly realise how difficult her escape plan will be when she had to walk into the midst of people, it was the only way out, it wasn't like someone had pointed a direction to her.., she remenbered following the route she thought was the way out but the end was a wall., she had to make a turn and find another way..., she trot on, her body slightly hitting others as she walk into their midst..

"That is her.."A man shouted from behind..

Her heart flew right out of her chest.., for a moment she stood still, the paralysing aura spread through her body damning her in one spot.., when the man's voice came again.., she snap out of the fear and quickly began to run..

She didn't care to look back to know if anyone was pursuing her, she just kept running with intentions of escaping, it quickly beats on her she was running aimlessly when she couldn't set her foot outside.., she was running in circles, corridors into corridors without a way out.....

She manage to look back, she saw noone, but the whispers echoing in the wall were too loud for her to ignore.., she knew been caught will bring severe consequences.., it was a far option, one she isn't ready to indulge.., she looked around and saw a door, old, rusty but unlocked..., wasting no time, she opened it and ran in, and in one powerful swing, she closed it back...

She took a deep breathe to calm her panic when she realise the only lights visible in the room she just locked herself in was the light coming out from tiny holes in the wall..., perhaps those holes were be pricked in the wall for air supply.., enough air to get by until there's nothing left..., she took a step only to withdraw it when she thought she heard something but quickly realise it was the sound of her beating heart.., the darkness she had just exposed herself to scares her, her imagination supplied many beasts with fantastical jaws to lurk beyond the range of her vision..., The darkness engulfed her thoughts. Stretching out in front of her like a map, the unknown studied her fears, her courage and her knowledge....

Her tears came rolling down beads by beads, a firece relief in a primal torture...., she stood for what felt like hours but was just two minutes.., she lean her ears on the wall, she heard no sound, no footsteps, no whispering...., she took a deep breathe with the thoughts that her pursurers must have been gone..., she relax a bit, she stare into the darkness.., she shivered and quickly spun around to open the door....

Fear crippled her when she felt something, a hand holding her legs, for a slight second, she thought it was her imagination playing pranks on her, but when cold, old fingers circled around her leg, she realise whatever was happening was beyond her imagination..., the reality of her fears was beginning to play out right in front of her.., when the grip tightened on her leg, she couldn't help but screamed.......








*******************
Theresa stare from the car at the children playing football on the far end of the road.., old memories came flooding her head, she remenbered how fun her childhood was.., how she use to run around with her friends, argue, joke and do things she never imagined she could do.., the thought chase a smile on her face....., for a second she was glad she could forget the taunts of her life..., she look at the screen and quickly sit up when she saw George coming towards the vehicle..., she fused her gaze on him until he open the car door and slid into the front seat with her.......

"You said you were ready..."Theresa said brooding over the moment she had called George, he had told her he was ready and waiting for her.., only for her to get to his hotel and realise he was far from ready...

"Told you I'll be down in twenty minutes.."George said buckling the seat belt...

"Twenty minutes.."She reiterates..."It's thirty.."

"Just ten minutes difference.."George said with a smile..

"We could have gotten to our destination in that ten minutes.."She said smiling back..

George bit his lip, eyes everywhere but on Theresa..., Theresa didn't withdraw, didn't want to, if it were someone else she could have probably dropped her gaze, but with George, she feels secure.., safe...

"That brings me to my question."George said taking his gaze from her..., looking at her without holding her was proving more difficult than he thought...."Where exactly are we going to..?"

"To Samuel's house.."Theresa said..

Shocked, George looked his way..."Samuel...!, I thought the major ask us to not bother him.."

Theresa scoffs.."You know very well i don't do well with orders..., I've an odd itch Samuel may know something since he took the money.."

"We aren't sure if he took the money.."George said..."Moreover the major have a lead.."

"You mean Peppa..?"

"Mm-mmm" George replied with a shrug..

"Peppa isn't a lead.., it's a blindspot, it takes us nowhere, gives us nothing., anyone on the streets could be Peppa.."

"I know but the major...

"Are you going with me or not...?"Theresa cut in...

George sigh and lean his body on the chair...."Shall we...?"

Theresa smile and started the car...."Thank you.."She said before she moved the car...








*******************
Wounded from her own thoughts, Rachel dropped the mopstick and walk towards an empty chair in the infirmary.., for a moment, she just sat wondering where Anita could be.., she fear she might get caught and if she's caught, the whole truth about her sanity will be out..
She moved from the chair and walked over to a shelve, she touch some drugs only to arrange them back a second later.., the more she had no idea what had happened to Anita, the more worried she was.., she sigh and pray silently Anita escapes..., she step away from the shelf, pick up the mop and about walking outside when the infirmary opened.., she stood, shock and fear licking through her eyes as Andrew close the door and turn his gaze towards her.., she knew she shouldn't be afraid but someone's life was on the line and if Anita is caught and been mistreated, it'll be her fault for letting her go without any good plan of escape......

"It was you.. "Andrew said stepping closer to her..

Rachel's eyes widened as she completed the sentence in her head....

"You helped her escape..."Andrew said....

Rachel took a deep breathe to calm her panic, she convinced herself she won't be intimidated by him neither would she been cajole by the anger in his eyes to say what she ought not to....

"Where is she..?"Andrew queried setting another foot closer

"Where is who..?"Rachel asked back finding her once lost strength......

"Do not play games with me maid.."Andrew fling back brusquely...."Where is she..?"

Her eyebrows fluttered at the words..."I don't know what you're talking about..?"

Andrew curl his lips, every word swung from Rachel's mouth only added to the anger inside him...."Do you know if the doctor finds out you help that crazy girl in escaping, you'll be dead.."

Rachel shudder as the words echoe in her head....."Why so..?"She manage to ask even if the words scared her...

"Where the hell is she..?"Andrew ask, his voice raising with the question...

"Like I said.."Rachel peered..."I do not know what you're talking about.."

"Where is she..?"Andrew growled...

"I don't know.."Rachel growled back..

Anger dawned on Andrew, he give into it and quickly grab Rachel right hand and began to drag her out of the infirmary...

"Leave me the hell alone.."Rachel blare out trying to free herself from his grip...

"Not until you tell me where you've hidden her.."

"I didn't hide her anywhere you mòron, leave me the hell alone.."

Andrew didn't bother replying, with a full strength, he dragged her forward and her chest heaved against his....., he almost smile at the feeling of it but quickly remenbers the seriousness of the situation.....

"I'll ask you one last time.."He said stopping but still holding her tightly...."Where is she...?"

Rachel glare at him, if only glare can pierce a dagger into his throat, she would be glad it had happen., she fold her other hand into a fist and was about slamming it across his eyes when she heard the loud clanking sound of heels.., she looked at her side....., the fear she thought she had once defeated came running back when she locked gaze with Dr Charana..., the anger in the doctor's eyes scared her, her glare at them almost took her off her feet.., when Andrew let go of her, she prays silently Anita is never found.....

Andrew didn't wait for Dr Charana to speak, He looked at Rachel, he knew what he was about to say will put her in trouble, dead even but no matter how he loves her, he would jeopardise the opportunity of having another round of millions in his bank account...

"She helped Anita escaped."Andrew said

Trepidations wrecked havoc on Rachel's spines, she looked at Andrew and quickly shift her gaze to Dr Charana...., she stood still waiting for Dr Charana to reply, to act.....

"Doctor..."One of the workers shouted from behind

Their attention shift towards the woman who had called the doctor.., Rachel heart raced as she wait impatiently for the woman to speak, wondering what the news could be..

"She has returned to her room.."The worker said

"Who..?"Dr Charana ask in affirmation...

"The patient we've been looking for.., she's in her room.."

Dr Charana turn to face Andrew and Rachel, when she turn her gaze away, she wasted no time before she began to head for Anita's room with Andrew and Rachel tagging along..

Rachel heart pounded as they draw close to Anita's room.., she prays and hopes the woman was lying.., upon arriving in, she watched the doctor rushed in, she stood outside staring at the girl sitting on the bed, face down, when she raise her face, Rachel took a step back, the shock throwing her backwards than she anticipated.....

"You crazy bitch..."Dr Charana shouted rushing towards Anita...., she grabbed Anita and stood her up, what followed was a powerful slap across Anita's face..

Stars burst in Anita vision.., the resounding slap echoing over and over in her ears....

Eyes wide open, Rachel just stood watching what was happening.., she couldn't believe it, couldn't believe she came back after everything..., she had an opportunity to escape but she came back.....

"Why Anita..?"She mutter to herself....









*******************
Eyes burning with anger..., Vialo began to pack the guns in the bag until it was just a pistol left.., he pick up the pistol, aimed it at trees before glancing over to his ringing phone.....

"Braimo.."Vialo said after he answered the call...

"I got the text.."A baritone voice sound from the other end...

"Gaga is dead.."Vialo said remembering how he sneaked into the compound to see his friend's dead body, he was curious as to why a stranger will answer Gaga's call.., the conversation challenged him to go take a look..., seeing his friend dead body was the most painful sight....

"That girl and her boyfriend killed him.."Vialo added...

"We must bring honour to his name.."The caller said from the other end..

Frown lines encroached on Vialo face.., he took few steps from where he was standing, wipe sweat from his face before replying......."We attack tonight...., that girl and her boyfriend will wished they've never been born.."

"For Gaga..."The caller said

"For Gaga...."Vialo said before furiously kicking the bottle of beer in his front.....









*******************
Samuel took another gulp down of the wine before he stepped into the room..., a wide smile surrounds his lips when he saw his money.., his wealth scattered everywhere around the room.., the dropped the bottle and glass of wine, closed the door and pulled off his shirt.., bare chested, he crunched down and lay on the money.., the feel of the money against his bare skin sent a tingle down his spines..., it felt good and for once in his life, he felt powerful....

"Oh you foolish foolish Anita.."He mutter, a taunting smirk forming around his lips...."You thought you could ruin me by telling the world i stole your story..."He chuckle, his evil laughter echoing around the room......."Look at you now Anita.., you're just a mad girl...., you couldn't bring me down....nobody can bring me down.....Nobody Anita.., Nobody........."

EPISODE 41
EPISODE TITLE- The restless souls









Stepping from her office, Dr Charana walk down the corridors with a tray of the white and red drugs in her hand, on one of part of the tray was a glass of water and syringe, her face was one of upmost confidence and anyone could tell whatever game she was playing she wasn't accustomed to loosing...., Andrew was walking beside her like he had a snake in his guts. With each step he twisted in a way angone could almost predict but not quite and the bizarreness of his gait was accentuated by his hands that moved freely like some poorly acted zombie...., When finally Dr Charana arrives at Anita's psych room, her gait halted like there's something wrong, she's almost walking right but there's something out of sync. Perhaps one leg is stopping a little short or maybe going long, it's was hard to tell since she was bend on making her plans a reality...

When the door creaks, Anita spun around but a bit too slow to be normal.., she ought to act abnormal, giving them any reason to doubt her mental state will be a big hindrance to her plan of escaping.., Rachel had already promised to help her, all she needs was a signal.., the distraction...., she widened her eyes when Dr Charana took a step in, suddenly her eyes flicked from Dr Charana to Andrew.., his gait was at odds with the white trouser and shirt he was wearing..., she brood over what Rachel had told her, these people want her mad....

"Are you feeling okay..?"Dr Charana ask, a smile slipping through..

Frown lines encroached on Anita's face as she saw through her fade sycophant...., who was she fooling, acting all caring and nice when all she wants is destroying people's life..her life..

Anita bend her head to one side and return it to it's normal position, even as she flicks her hair, she could feel a slight pain jolting through her head, it returned those headaches that had once eluded her...., rather than shouting as they must expect..., she took a step back and watch in silent as Dr Charana dropped the tray and pick up the syringe....., her eyes enlarged with shock and fear.., fear of what the content of the syringe could do to her if taken.., it could make her worse.., make her forget herself.....

"It's time for your injection.."Dr Charana said with a cringe at the syringe in her hand...

A provoking muscle involuntarily switched at the corners of Anita's face, once again she took a step back as she dwell upon what she can do to stop Dr Charana from injecting her....., when Dr Charana took a step closer, she shift aback as she weigh the pros and cons of every possible means of refraining them from injecting her.., perhaps she needs to resort to violence but she fear she might be hold as she once was when she was been dragged out of the room by the men Andrew commanded..., who knows, four, five or more men will hold her down this time...., the look in Dr Charana's eyes shows she wasn't ready to retreat and neither was Anita ready to take the injection....

"You don't need to be scared.."Dr Charana said..."It's your medication, we want you to be better.."

Anita almost hissed at the statement.., wanting her to be better was a far word from their plans...., she look around the room and search for anything she could use to stop them..atleast delay them for a while till the distraction comes.....

"Please be fast.."She murmured to herself...

"It's going to be swift.."Dr Charana said..."I'll be done even before you notice.."

Anita curl her lips.., believing these people is like trusting the devil not to betray you at the end of the race.., she shift aback, her eyes desperately searching for anything, any weapon...

Andrew Cross his arms across his chest as he stood to watch Anita.., for some minutes he's been noticing some changes.., he brood over when he had ask her to follow him back to her room., she didn't resist, didn't fight and it was very unlike her.., earlier on he had thought Rachel must have gotten through to her but her actions now.., her consistent flicking of hair, she could be acting..., he brood over the night he had seen Rachel in her room., what if Rachel went back after he had left her in the hallway..., a while ago he had found out some vaccines were missing from the infirmary, little pieces of the grounded drugs were found on the floor.., noone could have gone there that night to take the drugs.., noone except the one who will want to save Anita.., no one except Rachel.....

Fear licked through Anita as Dr Charana took another step closer making Anita quickly realise escaping will be difficult when her body leaned on the wall..., right there she realise there is no where she could run to.., if Rachel doesn't make the distraction, fighting back could be her only defense against the wolves surrounding her.....

"Doctor..."A woman shouted from the door...

Anita sigh, a sigh of relief when Dr Charana took her gaze from her and focus them on the woman who called her....

"Bulchama...."The woman said with pants breathe..."He's out again.."

"What..?"Dr Charana blare out shocked..

"He has injured two of our staffs already.."The woman said...

Dr Charana grunt and without a second glance at Anita, she stepped out of the room and began to follow the woman..., Andrew sigh and set a foot forward.., for a second, he just stood looking at Anita trying to get justification to the questions bubbling in his head..., when he got none other than his doubts.., he turn around and walked out of the room closing the door behind him..

Anita sigh trying to calm her panic..., Rachel had told her she should be able to know when the distraction comes..., this is it..., this is the distraction and she isn't willing to waste anymore time...., she trot towards the door, gently open it, she heard noises, then the clanking sound of things been thrown around....., she mutter a silent prayer before she joined the workers running helter-skelter...








******************
Bulchama smile fell, he felt every muscle tense and his hands began to open and close with each quickening breath. he picked up whatever his hands can get and threw it onto the tile, cracking some. In seconds he wound his fingers into a worker hair and shoved her face into the table over and over until the worker got injured, blood flowed out rubbing the table and Bulchama hands..., no one dare to go near, the ones who dare only return back when Bulchama shift his furious gaze at them..., when he got tired, he stopped only to spun around and got tased.., the electronic volts spread through his body making him incapacitated.., after a while he crunched to the ground...

"Who released him..?"Dr Charana shouted giving the taser back to the security men...

Everyone kept mute and it infuriated Dr Charana..., a vein bulge out from the back of her neck as she glare at Bulchama.....
"I'll deal with you all later.."She said, grunt and walked out on them..

The workers carried Bulchama and took him back to his hole while other helped the injured ones to the infirmary....

"Incompetent fools.."Dr Charana sneer as she walk back to Anita's room...

She increase her pace realising making Anita worse was more important than any other thing that may come up..., she took a deep breathe to calm the raging anger inside her when she got to Anita's room..., she rest a bit before she opened the door..., shock swept across her face when she saw no one...., she walked inside to affirm the thoughts reading in her head...

"Where are you, you crazy bitch.."She queried furiously as she walked around the room..., she bow down searching every hook and corner of the room only to raise her head when the door open.., when she saw Andrew at the door rather than Anita..., her thoughts catch up and just then she realise Anita is gone.....

"She's gone.."Dr Charana said running out of the room....., she looked her left and right with hopes of seeing her but all to no avail..

"What do you mean she's gone..?"Andrew ask walking towards her...

"Do you see her around..?"Dr Charana growled at him, her head podering over the millions of naira she could lose if Anita escape......."Inform the securities.. "She added with pants breathe...."Every door out of this building should be sealed.., no one comes in and no one goes out..., I want her found.."







*****************
"So..."The policeman sass as he look at the burnt body.., after a while he returned his gaze to Henry...."You burnt him..."

Henry frown, the policemen questions were beginning to infuriate him..."I didn't.."

"So who did..?"The policeman asked...

Henry exhale.., it was evident from the people sitting around the dead body that they were the ones who burnt the body, yet the policeman wants him to admit for what is right in front of him....

"Do you know you committed a murder..."The other policeman cut in...

Henry brood over the attack, though he's glad they are safe but he stills fear this won't be the end, if someone wants Susan dead, they're going to keep coming until she's six feet beneath.....

"I've told you this before..."Henry said angrily..."I didn't burn that man, they did.. "

"How do we know you didn't connive with them.."The first policeman said..

Henry's brows furrowed, now he knows why the youths had ask him not to involve the police.., they're certainly bad at their job....

"You'll have to follow us to the station.."The second policeman said

"For what...?"Henry ask immediately

"For murder.."The first policeman replied

"Is this a joke..?"Henry ask, his lips curling into a frown..."I'm the one who was been attacked...., that man almost killed me and my girlfriend.."

"Well as it is to us..., you and your girlfriend are alive and the so-called attacker is dead...burnt.."The policeman said

Henry's fist move to punch the policeman but he held his anger back.., every word swung from their mouth only fuel the rage inside him....

"Look officers.., this isn't the reason I called you.., I only called you so you can arrest him and question him.."

"Well apparently he's dead."The policeman said.."The only person left to question is you...."

"You're under arrest.."The second policeman chimes in...

"For what..?"Henry blare out making sure the angry youths hear...."Why would you arrest me.., this man tried to kill me and my girlfriend..., and now you want to arrest me.."

The policemen glance at each other when the angry youths began to approach them..., the angry youths scared them...

"Fine...."The first policeman said..."We believe the issue has been resolved.., we'll be taking our leave...."

They turned to leave only to be greeted by some of the angry youth broad chest..

"We came in peace, allow us to leave in peace.."The other policeman said as they squeeze thierselves amidst the group of angry youths..

"Make una dey behave o..."One of the angry youth growled in pidgin..

The policemen didn't bother replying, they hurriedly entered their van and drove off....

After watching them leave, Henry went back in to meet Susan.....











*****************
"Sparrow, come back.."The old lady shouted as the dog ran away from her and rushed forward, towards heap grasses.., it stopped on a spot and began barking....

"Sparrow.."The old lady call again moving closer to the dog.., she outstretched her hand waiting for the dog to come into her arms as she always does but was surprise when the dog didn't, instead the dog began to dig the area with her toes, pulling out dirts and grasses as she dug.., she stopped snd began barking again..

Curious as to what was making her dog bark ,the old lady moved closer to where the dog had barked.., she bow down and pull out some grasses..

"Sparrow, what's in here..?"She asked as she pull out more grasses.., she stopped when she touch something.....

"What could this be..?"She asked watching the dog continue to bark, curiosity took the better of her.., she pull out more grasses...., her eyes enlarged and quickly she stumbles backwards and lose her balance.., the shock of what she saw sent her falling to the ground....

Her heart pounded hard against her chest when her dog took off more grasses revealing the full dead body...., The corpse was almost devoid of skin and pitted by burrowing insects. The old lady tried to turn away as her stomach heaved, her nostrils filled with the smell of rotting meat....., wondering who could have buried a dead body in her backyard...she screamed loudly....






Some actions comes with serious consequences..

honourable356:
I just finished reading this story...

Indeed I have to give you credit..
Your uncanny ability to make the story unpredictable kept your audience glue to it.

Yes! Yes I am impressed in that regard.

However they are loophole here and there.
Unquestionable scene here and there.
Let's look at a few;

1. The policemen... You should have known that the Nigerian police hardly the NO for an answer...Having been humiliated by the boys,the Nigerian police do not let thing like that slide... especially when they claim they were chasing a criminal...it doesn't add up.

2. The gateman no matter how sleepy can't just miss someone carrying a body..No matter how stupid he might be.

3. Abigail was naked throughout?
Who does that?
The three intruders met her naked, how?
It doesn't add up.

However I must commend your effort in creating something exceptionally brilliant in suspense.

It won't take you long to be come a giant in this field.

He nods in admiration,...

EPISODE TITLE- The attack









Susan feel as though her bones have no more strength and her muscles are all out of power, she just sat on the wheelchair staring at the man facing her with the gun, she was unable to talk, the menacing aura of the gun pouring gasoline into the spark of her fear, she wanted to call for Henry as fear torture her guts.., churning her stomach in tense cramps, unfortunately for her, no words came out, it was as if the wild shock and fear lingering inside her has eluded her of any spoken words.., her breath suddenly quickens as she heard the creaking of the bathroom door.., she wanted to shout, make Henry aware there's a guy with a gun in his house......

Shock, Henry stood with the towel tied around his waist, his thoughts went on a pause as the intruder turn the gun from Susan to him....., his legs twitched, fighting the impulse to whirl around, paralysed to the spot.., he stood with pants breathe as he tried to think what was going on.., The paralyzing hurt spread through his body like icy, liquid metal but he kept his cool, even with his pounding heart, he knew he needed to save Susan, his gaze slightly moved from the intruder to Susan and then to the intruder again, the moment the intruder shift his gaze to Susan, Henry knew it was the right time to strike, he didn't think before he loosen his towel in a blink of an eye and threw it at the intruder....

The intruder lose focus as the towel drop in his face, before he could take it off from his face, Henry rushed at him, there were no holes barred when Henry went in for the attack, the forceful and firece attack made them crash to the ground, the gun fell down from the intruder hand as their bodies clattered on the bottom part of the door.., Henry's head jerked back and he tasted copper tang in his mouth..., he almost lost concentration but quickly raise his head only to see the intruder reaching for the gun...., he rushed forward and hold the intruders hand stopping him from reaching the gun, the intruder groaned in pain and anger and set his other hand forward but rather than picking the gun up, he mistakenly pushed it forward, towards Susan.... and that was Henry rained blows onto the intruder from behind as if he meant to smash him into the very earth......

A sudden gush of pain jolted throughout the intruder body but he didn't give up, instead, he powered himself up and gave Henry an elbow to the jaw...

Pain enacted from point of impact, Henry lost focus, when he got himself back, he was a second too late, the Intruder pushed him backward and rushed at him before Henry could surge up any counter attack.., bruised and winded, he brought a fist to Henry’s face, snapping his nose into a grotesquerie...

Susan knew the only way a winner will emerge from the fight is when one of them is dead.., heart pounding hard against her chest, she rolled the wheelchair towards the gun on the floor...., hands shaking, she bend down against the pain she was feeling with the act, she pick up the gun totally oblivious of how to use it, she placed her hand around the trigger and aim at them, she quickly realise how futile it was to handle the gun when her hand began to shake.., if she pulls the trigger, she might kill the intruder or she might kill Henry...

Blood pooled from Henry's mouth and nose as the intruder deliver more powerful punches to his face...., he sunk into his stomach, blood pooled in his mouth as the intruder gagged.., just when he decided to fight back, the intruder powerful hands grabbed his shoulders and forcefully pushed him forward.., Henry's body came into clash with the wall.., his head colliding with the strong cement he stumbled backward, lost his balance and fell down.....

A gleen of sweat sheen down from Susan's head as she held the gun firmly, with pounding heart and her hands shaking rhythmically, she pulled the trigger, a scream leap out of her mouth as the bullet went off in full precision....

The intruder went down in one knee as the bullet hit his left thigh from behind..., he groaned from pain as blood pooled out of his leg, he reach the bullet wound with his hand in attempt to stop the pain, stop the flow of blood but all to no avail...

Raw anger swept across Susan's face, the memories of every bad thing that has ever happened to her began to race into her head, it angered her more and she fired again..., the fierce bullet flew out the chamber and hit the door, the door wood broke as little pieces of it began to crumble to the floor.., when the intruder groaned and revert his angry gaze towards Susan, she realise she had missed..

Drop of tears fell out from her eyes as she look down at Henry who was groaning in pains, once again she tried to fit her fingers into the trigger but quickly realise how difficult it was when her fingers went into an excruciating spasm...., her heart flew right out of her chest and for a moment she felt breathless and all she could think about was the terrible death she will face when the intruder manage to stand in one leg and lock his furious gaze with her....

"You bitch.."The intruder hollered rushing at Susan but was quickly held back by Henry.

The intruder looked down to see Henry dragging his injured legs back, away from Susan.., with his good leg, he began to brusquely kick Henry's hands..

With pains jolting every part of Henry's body, he knew he needed to do this, without any logical thought, he set his hand on the intruders injury and prick his bullet wound...

The intruder screamed as Henry's fingers dig into his bullet wound, severe pain erupted from the injury and he quickly crunched down, Henry held on to the opportunity, his head nuzzling with pains, he manage to stand up and drag the intruder towards the door, he opened the door and drag him outside but he miss a step, he lost his balance and fell down with the intruder on the threshold...

Both men took a minute to breathe before they began to stand up..., on their kneeling position, Henry threw the first punch, The intruder groaned and grimace in pains before he slammed his tough fist across Henry's face.., stars burst in Henry's vision but he shook it off blindly throwing a sloppy blow but quickly realise how stupid it was when the intruder set another blow straight beneath his stuble...

Blood hummed in Henry's veins, instead of falling back, determination and anger took over, he growled at the intruder before he slammed his powerful fist coated with the anger burning in his eyes across his face surprised at the pain that blazed up his arm as his fist connected with the intruders jaw....., Henry didn't stop there, he ignored his own pain and give in to the rage, he rushed at the intruder and in a powerful swing, they both rolled from the threshold into the sand....

Gathering up momentum, Henry stood up first and with his own two hands he grasped the intruder head in his hands and brought his knee cap up to his nose.., . Crimson leaked from both his nostrils and his nose was twisted right.....but just when Henry wanted to go in for another attack.., the intruder dive at him dropping him from the waist, both men crunched on the ground once again...., the intruder took charge and threw the first blow and just when he was about to throw the second, he heard voices, he raise his head only to see more men running from different corners of the compound, just then he realise his mission has been compromised, totally blown.., he dropped his fist, manage to raise himself up and began to run with his injured leg but couldn't go far before the neighbours and onlookers caught up with him and hold him...







******************
Matthew watch the two keke men as they began fighting over a girl, his expression was of one being forced to endure an unpleasant odor, his gaze was unwavering and unabashed..., he scoffs when people began to round them to separate the fight, he heaved a sigh before he shift back his gazs to the bread seller..

"How much is it...?"He ask picking a loaf of bread...

"Four hundred sir.."The bread seller said picking up the bread to package

"Give me two.."He said taking out his wallet to pay.., he paid and collected the bread..

With his bag hung across his shoulders and the nylon of bread in his hand, he walked towards the road with the intentions of taking a taxi.., he stood waiting for a taxi, it didn't take a minute before the memories of his sister evaded his head.., weeks has passed since he last saw her.., although he has been on constant phone call with the doctor but was surprise at the Doctor's reply when he asked to come see the condition of his sister and she declined.., but he kept insisting until she accepted, he remembered telling her he would withdrew his sister from the hospital if there's no improvement...

He stood for what felt like an hour but was just a few minutes.., realising no taxi was heading his way, he decided to use his legs with intentions of boarding a keke if worse comes to worst.., he took the first step only to realise he kick heap of dirts on the floor.., irritation hissed through him as he wonder why people will heap such waste on the road...., he raise his head only to turn towards the road again.., shock washed over him as he saw a man on a racing motorcycle pulled out a gun and point it towards his side..., every thought in him went on a full pause, he realise he could not move when he couldn't feel his muscles.., he snapped out of the paralysis and was about jumping for cover but he was a second two late.., two bullets came for him, hitting his arm and rib...., as blood splashed out with the intensity of the bullets priecing into his skin.., he fell down to the ground, what followed was a loud scream from passerbys.....










******************
For a moment, Anita shivered as Rachel poured the first round of warm water on her shoulder and let it flow into every part of her body.., The water moves softly around her outstretched fingers, caressing cooly, eddying in their wake, she pull her hand to herself and watch the drips, both transparent and opaque at the same time.....

"Thank you...."Anita said allowing the drip of the water envelops her as closely as her own skin..

Rachel made a brief smile as she apply shampoo on Anita's hair...."You don't need to thank me..."She said washing the scrap of the hair..."Like i said to you the first day we met., I'm your biggest fan in nairaland.."

"You said that to me..?"Anita ask curiously desperately trying to remenber when she had told her that.

"You don't remenber...."Said Rachel.."You were a little still insane then..."

Anita wanted to laugh but the pain in her heart couldn't let her.......

"If I may ask.."Rachel continued..."How did you end up here.?"

Anita sigh allowing the water drip down her face..., she tried to remenber but nothing but what she already knows sufficed...."I don't know.. "She said regretfully.."One minute I was in the police station, the second I'm at the hospital and then here..., it all happened so fast...."

"Does it...."Rachel said thinking over the words in her head...."Does your been here have anything with your story been stolen...?"

A tear dropped from Anita's eyes as she remenber what she had to go through just to call out the thief that had stolen her story....

"I'm sorry if my question reminds you of anything.."Rachel said quickly when she noticed she was sniffling in tears...

"You don't have to.."Anita said spuning around to face her....."I need to be reminded where I'm coming from.."

Rachel sigh, she pitied her, she has suffered a lot for something she didn't deserve., she was about saying another word when a knock came on the lock door after several attempts to turn down the knob....

Irritation swept across Rachel's face., she pick a towel she had brought with her and tossed it to Anita....

"Cover yourself..."She said to Anita ...

"Rachel.."Andrew's voice came from outside the door..

A frown line encroach on Rachel's forehead at the sound of Andrew's voice...

"Go away Andrew.."She said barely looking back to face the door...

"The doctor wants to see the patient you moròn.."Andrew said brusquely

Rachel hissed as the door knob wined down continously, what followed was a loud bang from outside...

"Open the damn door.."Andrew yelled from outside

Rachel ignored him and walked closer to Anita....

"The doctor wants to give her her medications.."Andrew said again from outside...

Rachel swallowed when Anita shook her head...

"I can't take the medication.."Anita muttered making sure her voice wasn't loud to be heard from outside......"I have to get out of here.."She added with all form of seriousness...

For a moment, Rachel just stood looking at her as if someone has just deliver a fatal blow across her cheeks...."Now.."

"Yes now.."Anita said looking around for the clothes she wore earlier..

"Don't wear those clothes..."Rachel said walking towards the new set of clothes she had brought along, she handed over to Anita who quickly changed into them not minding how big the gown was.....

"You can't get out of here."Rachel said

"I can't wait anymore.."Anita muttered..."I don't know if I can stop them from giving that medication.., please help me get of here now.."

Rachel curled her lips when Andrew spoke again, she ignored him and focus on Anita again thinking how she could be of help.....

"Look i don't know if you'll succeed...

"It's worth the risk.."Anita cut in...."I'm sane, if I walk over to the gate and act like a sane person, nobody will suspect"

She had a point, Rachel knew that but for a thing she feels scared for her.., if she's caught, doctor Charana is going to find out she isn't as insane as they think..

"Fine.."Rachel mutter...."But if you must escape, we'll need a distraction..."

"How..?"Anita ask anxiously

"Don't worry about it..., I just want you to be at alert and know when the distraction comes..."

Anita nodded.....

Rachel hold her hands..."Be careful.."She said and quickly let go of her when they heard the door creak, then it opened.., she quickly spun around to see Andrew..., she quickly noticed the key he was holding...., the bastard have a spare key.....

Andrew shift his angry look from Rachel and turn it towards Anita..., Anita noticed the stare and quickly she bend her neck to a side and began flicking her hair on every side as she prays and hopes her pretentious acts convince him...

A taunting smirk circled Andrew lips before he revert his gaze back to Rachel., for a minute, they dug their eyes into each other, each not uttering a word but allowing the eyes to do the talking......, Andrew step closer and to his surprise Rachel didn't move an inch backward..

"This is the last time you'll do this.."Andrew said and quickly grab Anita's hand from behind, gave Rachel a deadly look before he began to drag Anita away..., as they walk, Anita glance back at Rachel but only for a brief moment.....

"I'm getting out of here.. "Anita mutter to herself....









*****************
Fully dressed, Henry pace about in his room, the enormity of what had happened earlier still coming like flashes in his eyes...., he looked at Susan who was sitting in a corner greatly worried by the event that had took place earlier., he took his gaze from her and walked towards the guy who was coming to him.....

"Henry.. "The guy said handling a ringing phone to Henry..."We found this in his pocket.."He said pointing at the guy who had attacked him and Susan..."This number has been calling.., we felt you should answer it."

Henry didn't want to but curiosity of who could be behind the attacks on them dawned on his face.., he took the phone, hesitated a bit before he answered the call...

"Why haven't you been answering the call.."A baritone voice queried from the other end...

Henry kept mute as the action that took place just few minutes ago began to rehappen in his head..

"Is she dead..,"The male voice ask..

Henry's eyes widened with shock.., he shift his gaze towards Susan realising their attacker weren't there for him but Susan.....

"Who are you..?"Henry asked quickly..

There was silence before the caller's voice came again...
"Who are you..?"

"Who are you, you bastard..?"Henry yelled angrily.....

"Who are you...?"Henry shouted again but quickly realise the call had ended.., he took the phone from his ears with the intentions of calling back only to raise his gaze and see the street youths pouring fuel on their attacker.., the phone dropped from his ears, what they were about doing wasn't the plan, the plan was to wait for the police to show up and take him in for questioning.., when one of the angry street hooligans took out a lighter, Henry ran out of the house in attempt to stop them but his race was quickly brought to a stop when another angry youth lit a matchstick and threw it on their attackers body..

"Noo...."Henry shouted running towards them again but he was a minute too late, the fire ignited and spread all over their attacker's body..

Their attacker scream in agony as the fire dry every part of his body, his screams and wails echoe around the street but no one showed mercy......

As the fire burn mightily in his body, he dropped down to the ground and allow the fire dry every life from him...., seconds after seconds, he scream as he burns, unpitiable eyes watched him as he burns and get completely barbecued....

"Burn burn burn...."The angry youths chorus together...









They say a woman's strength is her greatest weapon....
