EPISODE 10
EPISODE TITLE- A little too late








A muscle twitched involuntarily at the corner of Brian's right eye, his mouth formed a rigid grimace as he glare at the policeman before he entered the room Mark was detained...., he stood and look at Mark whose face was rigid with tension, it belied his youthfulness and he seemed to have aged a decade in the past few hours......

"Is it true..?"Brian asked in a low tone, he has heard the news on his way to the station, the news about the sentence.., he would have been at the court if he wasn't tied up with trying to get Lucas unconscious body from the hospital...

Mark's eyes shifted to the side again and became glazed with a glassy layer of tears. As he blinked, they dripped from his eyelids and slid down his face, he bit his lip tightly in attempt to hide any sound that wanted to escape from his mouth, his heart sank......

"They said I've just four hours to live.."Mark replied, sadness coated in his voice.

Brain swallowed forcefully, the anger, a slow jolt of regret and pain raced across every muscles in his body.., if he knew this will happen, he wouldn't have concurred to his request of giving him a girl....., his lower lips quivered as words try to make way out of his mouth yet what came out was engulf in stutters..."I..,I..., I'm sorry.."

"It wasn't your fault..."Mark said drying his tears..."I brought this upon myself.."

"You can't die Mark.., you didn't kill her, Lucas did.."

"What..?"He quizzed in a low voice....."How..?"

"He was at the house that day, he..he said she tried to seduce him and he pushed her away.., she slammed her head on the wall in the process..., at first, we didn't believe it, but then it was confirmed from the forensic department doctor.., Abigail died from excess concussion.., Lucas already confess, I wanted to bring him here but he was hit by a car and he's still unconscious in the hospital..."

Once again, tears flowed unchecked down Mark's cheeks, he was too sad to cry out or wail, he just sat there as still as a statue while the magnitude of the words swept over him.....

"I tried Mark.."Brian cut in sniffing..."I tried bringing him here to confess.."

"What difference would it have made..."Mark mutter as tears escape into his mouth..."My life is already over.."

"No it's not.."Brian said back immediately..."You didn't kill that girl and you won't die for a crime you didn't commit.."

"It's too late Brian, I've already accepted my fate.."

"No..., this can't be your fate, I'm not going to let you die while the real culprit is out there still breathing..."

"Brian.."Mark mutter as Brian stood up...

"I'm not going to let you die..."Brian said back and turn to leave..

"Brian.."Mark call out stopping Brian..."Could you please tell my mother, I'm sorry after I die..."

Brian teeth clenched, his eyes webbed with tears and he quickly turn around to face him..."When this is all over.., you'll tell her yourself.."He said and quickly left the room









*****************
"Are you the one who's been asking to see me..?"The DPO ask closing a file in front of him...

"Yes sir.."Brian replied remembering how he has waited for almost two hours just to see the DPO..

"Please, sit down..."

He jut his chin before he sat on a chair across the DPO..

"So what can I do for you young man...?"The DPO ask

Brian took a deep breathe praying what he's about to say save Mark...."I'm a friend to the one who has been sentence to death.."

"Yeah about that, my man told me.., so what's your case..?"

"He didn't kill that girl sir.."

The DPO raise a brow...."You must understand your friend confessed to the crime.."

"Yes he did., but it was out of false guilt, whatever he said, he said under fear that he may have killed her.., he didn't do it sir.."

The DPO sigh, when he reclined his back on the chair, Brian realise his words were sounding like bullshit to the DPOs ears...

"How do you know he wasn't the one that killed that girl...?"The DPO ask

"The real culprit has confessed...."

"And who's the real culprit.., you..?"

"No sir, he's another friend of ours..."

"So where is he..?"

"He's currently in a bad shape now sir, he's lying unconscious at the hospital.., he got into an accident when I tried to bring him here to confess..."

"And when precisely did you find out he's actually the one who killed her...?"

"Yesterday sir..., like I said, he confessed to it..."

The DPO exhale, glance heavenward and look back at Brian...."So what do you want me to do..?"

Brian was a bit surprised at the question, he just told him Mark didn't kill Abigail but Lucas did, isn't he supposed to do something to set Mark free.....

"My friend is innocent sir.."Brian said, his voice trailing low than usual..."Since the real culprit has confessed, wouldn't it be appropriate if my accused friend is released..."

"Look here gentleman.., it's not that easy, the judge has already given the verdict, your friend dies in four hours.."He glance at his time.."Two hours left..."

"Sir, I just told you he didn't kill her, you'll be killing an innocent person.."

"That so called innocent person confessed to killing her.., my hands are tied, as much as I want to help you and investigate your claims, there's nothing I can do.., only the judge can rule out the sentence and it's rare for a judge to do that given the circumstances..."

Brain bit his lip in frustration..."Sir please.., Mark is innocent..., you'll be killing an innocent person, please do something.."

"I cannot do anything.., the only time you got to prove his innocence was bringing the real culprit to court or here, you did neither of these things, you blew your chance up.."

"So you're just going to let an innocent person die..?"Brian retorted, his voice raising...

"Innocent people die on daily basis..., your friend was just a victim of circumstance.."

"Sir.."Brian mutter going to his knees..."Please sir don't do this.., Mark is innocent, I beg of you sir..."

"Young man I told you, my hands are tied, if there's anyone who can stop this is the judge.., but it's too late to get to her because she travelled an hour ago..."

"Sir. , I beg you in the name of God and all that's holy, don't do this..., he's innocent..."

The DPO huff and look away before he turn back to face him.."Please get up from your knees.., no matter how much you plead, I still can't do nothing, all I can tell you to do is pray for your friend's soul.."

Brain sniffle and hot tears dribble down his face..."God is watching us sir..."

"Please leave my office.."The DPO said..

Face drench with tears, Brian stood from his knees, took one last glance at the DPO before he walked outside...








******************
Even if his heart was still beating, deep down, Mark knew he was dead..., his whole body felt like he was been stabbed in the heart a thousand times yet he wasn't dying...

"Look at me son..."The priest said holding Mark's hands

Breathe falling and rising, Mark raised his gaze to the priest's face..

"Do you believe in Jesus..?"The priest ask

Mark's throat tightened as he heaved out short intake of breathe, what followed was an onslaught of tears before he nods his head to the question....

"Say after me son..."The priest said, look at Mark for a moment before he continued..."Lord Jesus.."

Mark lips tremble as he cry out.., he remained still, letting the tears run down his face before he repeated the priest words..."Lord Jesus.."

"I accept you into my life..."

Mark sniffle, struggle to breathe, to swallow..."I.., I accept you into my life.."

"Cleanse me of my sins.."

Mark shut his eyes pressing down the tail of tears..."Cleanse me of my sins...."

"Wipe my name from the book of death.."

"Wipe my name from the book of death.. "He repeated opening his eyes..

"And write it in the book of life..."

Mark heaved out a sigh of wail before saying the words.."And..and write it in the book of life.."

"Amen.."

"Amen.."










********************
Hot corrent of griefs coursing down Brian face.., he stepped into the open church.., from where he stood, he looked at the cross in the alter.., he wipe the corners of his eyes to chase the tears away but they came rushing down instead.., he felt broken.., every part of him was shattered, the fact that his friend was going to die anytime soon annoyed him and same time saddens him.

He walked towards the alter and knelt down before he raised his gaze to the cross again.., deep emotions stirs with no other outlet but through his tears.., heart broken he open his mouth to talk......"God.."He mutter, some of the tears escaping into his mouth..."God, I know I'm a sinner and I'm not worthy to ask anything of you but today, I've nowhere to turn.., please save my friend, he's innocent and you know that..., please..., if..if you do this for me, I swear I'll return back to you, I'll serve you with all my heart..."

His tears split over again and flow down his cheeks like a river escaping a dam.., he tried to open his mouth again and that was when a hand touch his shoulders..., he quickly turn around to face the person...

"I mean no harm..."The reverend father said stepping backward

Brian sigh and lower his gaze..

"I saw you kneeling here so I decided to come.. "The reverend father said...."From your tears, nothing seem okay.."

"You're right father..."Brian mutter allowing the tears to flow freely from his eyes..."Nothing is okay..., that's why I came here because I've nowhere else.., nobody would help me except God..., I just pray he hears my humble request.."

"God knows your heart before you pray son.."The reverend father said...."And if he so wishes to grant you your heart desire, he will do it.., do you believe God can do it..?"

"I believe ..."Brian replied sharply

"Then he'll do it at the appointed time..."

Brian breathe fell and rise shallowly.., he looked at the cross again before he reach his hand to his pocket to take his ringing phone, he sigh when he realise it was Jeffery calling, he glance at the reverend father who motioned him to answer...

"Hey Jeff.."He said standing up...

"Where are you..?"Jeffery low voice sounded from the other end..

"I.., I'm in a church.."

"You need to come to the station field...., they're about taking Mark for execution..."

His heart stopped.., when he regain himself, he dropped the phone, look with open mouth at the reverend father before he ran out of the church without another word to the reverend father.....












*******************
Death wasn't kind, Mark knew that. It snatched where it could, taking people who were far too young, far too good. It didn't pretend to care, it didn't pretend to distinguish...., he look around but the people he saw where people he wasn't really familiar with, non of his family members were there neither his friends were watching.., he prefers it that way, he wouldn't want to see them watching him die....

He was tired of crying, so he just shut his eyes and let the remainders of the tears fall down his face...., he would have used his hands to dry his eyes but his hands were tied..., he stood on the cart as the executioner had instructed.., fear pricked him when he saw the crossbeam and the rope hanging from it.., he shivered a bit and then realised it was a total waste.., he stare at the faces of the people, each looking at him with full determination, he wonder what must be running in their minds, they must think he's a murderer.., atleast that's what he thought he were.....

His breathe seize when the noose at the end of the rope was placed around his neck..

"Any last words....?"The executioner asked him...

Mark sneak in a deep breathe, streams of tears flowing faster than his heartbeat, he bleeds the salt of his soul as it pours from his eyes.., he looked at the people watching him and that was when he saw Brian and Jeffery trying to force their way to him but the policemen were holding them back..., when they screamed his name, he smile...

"He's innocent..."Brian shouted forcing his way in to no avail...."You're killing an innocent man..."

Mark sneak in one deep last breathe before he said the final words..."Tell my friends, I love them..."

The scared face executioner nodded before he pulled the wooden muzzle up.., Mark's body dropped as the noose of the rope tightened and adjusted in his throat breaking his spinal cord, his blood pressure drops down in seconds.., he struggled for a while before he finally died and gave up the ghost......

Brian's mouth dropped as his brain tried to accumulate what just happened, just then it hit him..Mark is dead...

"Mark.."Jeffery screamed using every strength in him to push the policemen aside and quickly ran towards Mark's lifeless body.....

Brian dropped to his knees when the policemen let go of him, for a moment, he just knee staring widely at Mark's lifeless body and Jeffery who was crying..., his own tears came like an uproar, he broke down to the floor and screamed loudly, tears bursting forth with his loud scream....









*****************
Anger, pain jolt across Brian's face as he furiously made way to Lucas hospital bed...., with a full force, he pushed the door open..., his lips curl greatly realising Licas was now conscious..

"Brian.."Lucas mutter with pants breathe...

Brains hands clenched, his teeth clasped, as if gasoline was added to the burning fire inside him, he drew closer to Lucas and slammed his fist across his face..

The hard punch sent Lucas falling from the hospital bed and landing on the floor..., Brian was about pouncing on him like an enraged panther when the nurses and doctor hold him back.....

"Why is he alive and Mark is dead..?"Brian yelled bitterly allowing more tears flow freely from his eyes....

When he couldn't break through from the nurses and doctor's hold, he crunched on the ground, his tears burst forth like water from a dam, spilling down his face, he felt the muscles of his chin tremble like a small child as he remembered Mark's face, their jokes and laughter..., the sudden reminder that he's gone, that he'll never see him again triggered more tears from his eyes....











******************
3 DAYS LATER






Lost in thoughts and grief, Brian gulp down a bit of the alcohol.., he looked at the bottle, it was Mark's favourite.., if he was here, he'll be taking the drink with him...but so funny how life is, it claims the good ones and leave the bad ones...

"Brian.."Jeffery call out opening the door..

Brian didn't reply, didn't even bother to look at his face..., he took another gulp down of the alcohol, allowing the hot content settle every unsettled thing in his mind...

"There's something you need to know.. "Jeffery said

Brian nibbed but said nothing..

"I went back to the hospital to see Lucas.."

"Mmm, that murderer.."Brian sneer.."Why am I not surprised he's not dead yet.."

"I got the full story from him.."Jeffery said..."From what he told me, he isn't the one who killed Abigail.."

Brian sigh, carried the bottle and took another sip of it before dropping it down again.."Look Jeffery, I don't care anymore who killed that shameless sĺut.., she can rot in hell for all I care..."

"We owe it to Mark to find her killer.."

"We know her killer.., it's that hypocrite.., that devil in synagogue, he should just continue staying in the hospital because if he comes out of there, I swear to God, I'll break every bone in his body...."

"Just listen to me okay.."Jeffery said..."He told me what happened, he said everything that went down happened in the parlour.., he said he push her when she tried to seduce him, she hit her head on the wall and fell, when he checked her, she wasn't breathing so he ran leaving her in the parlour..., I got confused because Mark told us he found her dead in his room.., I needed answers so I went back to Doctor Patter of the forensic department.., I pleaded with him to tell me everything..., he said there were traces of weavon hair on Abigail's body and it wasn't Abigail's because Abigail didn't make her hair...., Lucas is bald, so it couldn't have been Lucas and Rebecca's story was confirmed by Lucas and she carries a low cut so it wasn't her either.., that leaves us with only one person....Jennifer....., I think Jennifer killed Abigail..."

SPOILERS AHEAD



The anger, the pain, the bitter sadness so intertwine made her stood up from the chair and trot towards the student wardrobe..., fires of fury burned in her eyes and quickly she grab a handful of her clothes and scattered them on the ground.., brim of tears drenched her eyes as they roll in beads down her ashen cheeks....., her fist clenched and her mouth tightened with ferocious breathe....

"I'll kill you..., I swear I'll kill you.."She yelled into the wall..






********************
He took another sip of the alcohol and allowed the dry hotness blend with the anger that was building up steam inside him.., the raw anger burned in every part of him and he wishes he burns the person on the receiving end...., she thinks she can ruin him but she'll ruin herself instead.....

He heaved out a cold laughter and took another deep intake of the content in the bottle....

"I'll make you suffer you stupid girl..."He sneer staring at his reflection in the TV screen...."And after I'm done with you..., you'll beg for nothing else but death..., I swear it..."

EPISODE 9
EPISODE TITLE- He killed her..









Just staring at the time alone made Brian breathing rapid and shallow ..., time was running fast, from the eighteen hours, he has fourteen hours left.., he grunt and look at the time, if Jeffery doesn't come to rendezvous, he'll go alone to Dr Patter of the forensic department, he needed to know somethings about Abigail's death..

He sniffle and revert his gaze to some passerbys.., he saw a girl, she was pretty, if he wasn't so tied up with saving Mark, he would have stopped her...
He returned his gaze to the road, there he saw Jeffery dropping from a keke.., he sigh, a sigh of relief....

"Hey I'm sorry for the delay..."Jeffery said when he walked close to him...."I got hold up in traffic.."

"That's always your excuse..."Brian fling back and began to walk away..

Jeffery flinch..."Is not like that.."He blare out running to catch up with him...








********************
It wasn't long before they got to the forensics department, earlier on Brian had called one of the workers and she had told him the Doctor will be leaving soon.., they trot towards the cars parked in the hospital car park, they lean their back on one of the cars as they waited patiently....

"Do you think we're going to find out anything from the Doctor..?"Jeffery ask

Brian huff and look around before he return his gaze to Jeffery..."Honestly I don't know.., we can only hope he tells us something that'll give us a clue to end this whole thing..."

"So when you met with Rebecca, what did she say..?"

Brian exhale as he brood over Rebecca's words...."When I showed her the bead, she denied it at first..."

"She denied it..?"Jeffery reiterated..

"Yes.., but then I strangled her and that was when she confessed, she said she was at the house that day but only to apologise to Mark for the things she said to him.."

"She's crazy.."Jeffery sneer..."What she said to Mark started this.., what is she trying to apologise for..?"

"Yeah, I thought she's crazy too..., then I asked her if she killed Abigail.., she said no, then she mentioned Lucas, said he saw her coming from the house..."

"Do you really think Lucas is capable of murder....?"Jeffery ask finding it hard to believe

Brian sniffle..."Anyone is capable of murder.."

"But Rebecca story doesn't add up you know..., did she tell you how the bead fell from her hand and got under the bed.."

"Yeah...."Brian replied with nibbed lips.."After your call about Jennifer, I asked her about the bead.., she said she doesn't know how it fell down.."

"You believe her..?"

"No..., but Lucas confirm her story.., he said he saw her too, which means Rebecca is on the clear..."

"So we're left with Lucas and Jennifer.., I'm wondering who went there first.."

"Yeah me too..., if Lucas was there first, it means Jennifer killed her, and if it's Jennifer who was there first...., Lucas killed her.."

"What if she committed suicide..?"Jeffery ask tapping into other options..

"With what..., you think she stabbed herself with the knife.., there wasn't blood on her body.."

"It could be she killed herself in other ways...., maybe hit her head on the wall..."

"Let's just stick to what we know now okay.."

"Well if we're going to find out what really happened to her, we need to tap into other options.."

"Like suicide..?"

"Yeah like suicide.."

Brian huff and look away and that was when he saw the doctor coming out from the hospital and walking towards them...
Without ado, they rushed towards him..

"Good evening sir.."Both men greeted the moment they got to him..

Doctor Patter took his time to look at them before he replied their greeting..

"Good evening.."He said in a casual manner..."What can I do for you gentlemen...?"

Brian heaved in a deep breathe..."We're friends to the one who confessed to killing Abigail.."

"Oh.."Doctor Patter draged between his teeth tilting his head upward.."That young man, why did he kill that girl..?"

"He didn't sir.."Jeffery cut in immediately...

"That's actually something we trying to find out..."Brian cut in when the Doctor made an askance look at Jeffery's statement..."We think he's innocent of the crime he confessed to..."

"And why do you think he's innocent.."

"Because we find out he isn't really the one that killed her.., he was asleep when it happened..., we're trying to find the killer and that's why we've come to ask for your help...."

"My help..!"He reiterated moving his eyes from one of them to the other..."Need my help, how..?"

"We heard Abigail's body was brought in here to analyse the course of her death.."

"Yes, but that was before your friend confessed.."

"We know sir.."Brian said..."But you must have find out something that could have triggered her death before my friend confessed to killing her.. "

"Whatever I found out is a confidential information, one I don't intend to divulge. ..."

"Sir please.."Jeffery chime in..."An innocent person is about ruining his life.., if you have the chance to save him, won't you do it.."

"And you think what I find out will help you catch the real culprit...?"

"We believe so sir.."Said Brian..

The Doctor sigh, look around him, when he saw noone, he return his gaze to them..."Look, all I can tell you is this..., she died of subdural hematona .."

"What does that mean..?"Brian asked

"There was a leakage of blood in the external part of her brain., within minutes it spread into her tissues and into her brain.., that was what caused her death..."

"So..."Jeffery chime in with a shrug..."What could have possibly caused this leakage in her brain...?"

"An extreme concussion.."The doctor said...."It's either she hit her head hard against something, or somebody forcefully hit her head on something, a wall, metal, anything that could caused severe damage or injury...."

"Oh God.."Brian mutter when he remembered Lucas story.., Lucas had told him he pushed her, what if she hit her head on the wall when he pushed her..

"Gentlemen if you may excuse me.."The doctor said and quickly left them to his car...

"It's Lucas.."Brian said immediately

"How do you know that..?"

"Lucas said he pushed her.., what if she clashed her head on something..."

"We don't know that Brian.."

"We need to see Lucas.."Brian said and quickly turn to walk away when the Doctor's car make way out of the hospital...











******************

It was almost dark when they got to Lucas house.., Brian didn't waste any time before he rumbled a loud knock on the door.., when he got no reply, he groaned and knock again, this time louder than the first...

"Do you think he's around..,?"Jeffery ask still finding it hard to actually believe Lucas could do that...

Brian lips curl and he knocked again ..., when he got no reply, he kicked the door...

"Hey excuse me..."Jeffery said to a neighbour who came out to see what was happening....."Did you see our friend, Lucas...?"

"I saw him a while ago.."The person said...."He carried a big bag like he was travelling......"

"Travelling.."Brian resounds turning to face the neighbour before he revert his gaze to Jeffery..."He's running away..."

"Did he tell you where he's travelling to...?"Jeffery ask curiously..

"No.."The person said

"He's running Jeff..., I told you he's the one, that's why he's running.., we need to find him..."

"How long ago did you see him..?"Jeffery ask immediately

"Is there a problem.."

"No there's no problem, just tell us how long ago.."

"Not quite long.."

"We need to check the nearest bus stations..."Brian said to Jeffery over his shoulder,.Jeffery greeted the neighbour and scurried off after Brian..











****************
Each time Brian thinks upon what Lucas had done.., he got furious, his fist clenched and his jaw root for destruction.., burning rage hissed through his body like deathly poison but he suppress it and glance at Jeffery...

"Do you think he could be travelling because he killed her..?"Jeffery asked as they drew closer to a bus station...

"What other explanation do you have for this..?"Brian asked, anger lingering in his voice...

They look around, there they saw someone that resembles Lucas from behind buying a travelling ticket...

"Lucas.."Brian yelled

Heart stricken, Lucas spun around, when he saw his friends, he quickly knew why they were here at the bus station.., they must have found out, found out the whole truth..., it was a mistake.., he didn't mean to push her.., didn't mean to kill her..., many times he has taught of confessing but he can't afford to go to jail and now, he can't afford to be caught by his friends..., realising they were closing in him, he left his bag and began to run and Brian and Jeffery took after him....

"Lucas stop..."Jeffery shouted from behind as he and Brian raced after him, running past people and jumping gutters.

Lucas felt his heartbeat pounding hard in his chest..., the guilt was eating him.., someone else is going to serve his punishment, he isn't okay with it but he can't afford to bear the consequences of a silly mistake...., when Jeffery screamed his name again.., he stop and turn back to face them but with kept a reasonable distance........

"You murderer..."Brian yelled racing to a stop..

Beads of salty tears sheen down Lucas face..."I didn't mean to kill her.., I never intend to.., it was a mistake.., I didn't know she'll die.."

"You hypocrite....."Brian sneer.."You killed her but want someone else to pay for what you did..., I'm taking you to the station.."

Lucas got scared at the words and quickly he trails his steps backward, into the road.., he wasn't fully aware of where he was going.., he was too scared to notice...

"I can't go to jail...."He said walking backwards with his eyes fused on Brian and Jeffery...

"Lucas, look out.."Jeffery shouted but he was a split second late, before Lucas brain could sendsignals to his legs, a car ran him over and he somersaults on the very top of the car and landed with a thud on the road...

Brian and Jeffery rushed to his side when blood pooped profusely from every part of his body...

"Lucas.."Brian shouted..."You cannot die, you have to confess and save Mark...."

"Brian.."Jeffery mutter, the horrific moment overwhelming him..

As people began to gather, Brian carried Lucas injured body into the backseat of a car of someone who agreed to help..., Jeffery jumped into the backseat with him before the man started the car and they drove speedily to the hospital.....








******************
When they arrived, Brian helped the nurses and carried Lucas bloody body into the stretcher and help in rolling him to a treatment room......

Breathe harsh and ragged, he began to pace about waiting for them to start treatment.....

"Sir please, you need to leave the room.."A nurse said to him..

Brian sigh and look at Lucas body one last time before he walked outside...

"What are they saying, is he going to be alright...?"Jeffery asked immediately

"I don't know.."Brian said pacing about....."He cannot die, if he dies, there's no way we'll be able to save Mark.."

"Do you think we should tell the police....?"

"The police won't listen to me.., Lucas needs to tell them he's the one who killed her and not Mark..

"Excuse me.."A nurse said coming out from the room

Brian and Jeffery quickly turn to face her..

"The money for his treatment is high, the doctor said you need to pay a deposit of 50 thousand before we can commence treatment.."

"What..!"Brian shouted.."Somebody's life is on the line and you asking for money before you treat him.."

"We're not running a charity business here sir..."

Brian's eyes narrowed..."What sort of people are in this world..., just show me where to pay..."

"This way please..."The nurse said










*****************
The sky was black tranquility married to a poetry of stars. It was the softness that called body and brain to rest and let the heart go to its steady rhythm but in Brian's and Jeffery case, it was quite different, there was no rest for them not when one of their friend is in a cell and the other is fighting for his life.., Brian stood up from the chair again, fold his hands and move towards another direction in the lobby..

"Is that murderer awake..?"Brian sneer when Jeffery joined him in the lobby..

Jeffery exhale, the cool air of the night washing over his skin.."No, he's unconscious...."

"It's 3 in the morning already.."Brian said.."We only have six hours to get him to the station to confess before Mark is taken to court..."

"I can't still believe it.."Jeffery said..."Who could have known Lucas actually killed her..."

Brian bit his bottom lip but didn't say anything. .

"But you know.."Jeffery continue..."I think we're missing something, the stories doesn't add up.."

"What story..?"Brian queried not bothering to look at Jeffery's face..

"Lucas said Abigail came to him in the parlour.., she tried to seduce him and he pushed her away.., so far we know she hit her head on the wall or somewhere from that push and got a concussion..., Then Lucas ran away.., if Lucas pushed her in the parlour and she fell, how did she get to the room., because Mark told us he woke up and found her in the room dead.."

"Lucas could have dragged her to the room....."

"It that's true.., why Mark's room.., how did Lucas know ,she was there for Mark.."

"Look we don't know what went down that day okay.., Lucas already confessed of killing her.."

"Mark confessed too.."Jeffery said.."Because he thought he killed her..., what if Lucas thinks same.."

"Look here Jeffery, I just want Mark out and what you're saying is not helping..."

Jeffery sigh shaking his head with the intention if shaking off the dizziness from his eyes...











*****************
Raw anger washed across Brian's face when he glance at the time again and realise it was past 8..., he quickly stood up from the chair he was sitting remembering Mark had told him the court hearing was 9AM......

He look around, when he didn't find Jeffery, he trot towards the room Lucas was been treated..., he forcefully opened the door and stepped inside..., his face moulded with resentment when he realized Lucas was still unconscious, he had no time, he's been waiting for hours for him to regain consciousness...., since he hasn't,he will just have to drag his unconscious body to the court and tell them his damn self who the real killer is....

He thought about the life Mark will be having if he goes to jail,.., Lucas is evil, making someone take the fall for your actions is the most wicked thing anyone could do.., jaw rooted, he took off all the syringe and drips that were connected to Lucas body and carried his unconscious body in his shoulder, he was about leaving when the doctor walked in..

"What are you doing..?"The Doctor asked sharply

"Taking him to the station.."Brian sneer..

"No you can't take him.., he's still unconscious.."

"You don't tell me what to do doctor, I brought him here, now I'm taking him out"

"Are you insane...., he suffered internal bleedings, taking him from here when he hasn't fully recover might kill him.."

"I don't care.."Brian yelled

"Well I care..."The doctor yelled back...."You brought him here but he's our responsibility until he's fully recover.."

"I need to get him to the station or an innocent person is going to suffer for his crimes.."

"You cannot take him out of here like that.., I forbid it.."

"Try and stop me.."Brian said trying to walk past the doctor who quickly called on security...









******************
Mark look around one last time in attempt to see if any of his friends or family members were there to hear the final verdict from the judge, when he saw none, he bit his lip tightly and face the judge....

"As per the laws of this country..."The judge said..."This court has found you guilty of committing murder, you're hereby sentenced to death by hanging..."

EPISODE TITLE- One of them is lying








2 DAYS LATER





As Brian threw down clothes from the wardrobe, Jeffery glance over at Brian's face, still smoldering underneath his stony expression. His rages seem pointless to him, although he never said so...

"Do you think he did the right thing..?"Jeffery asked

"Right thing..."Brian fling back..."Of course he didn't do the right thing, he gave himself up, who does that..?"

Jeffery shrug..."We should be happy he didn't mention our names.."

"He's our friend Jeff.., even if his confession didn't implicate us, I'm still not comfortable with the fact that he's going to jail.."

"We don't know that yet..."Jeffery said.."He might be grant clemency since he already confess himself..."

"Seriously Where's your head at.., haven't you be reading the news, Abigail's father turned out to be a rich man who has connections and he has said he'll make sure his daughter's murderer rot behind bars forever..., forever Jeft..."

"But if he's that rich, why did Abigail whòre herself out the way dhe did.."

"Turns out they have no good father daughter relationship, so she ran from home..., now her father is back to play the dutiful father...."

"Let's just hear what the judge has to say when he's been taken to court.."

Brian hissed..."Why do you keep talking like a small boy, didn't you hear what I just said, her father has connections.., the only way Mark can be safe is to be out of there because if he goes to court, there's no saving him.."

"You don't know that..."

Brian shook his head and refocus his gaze on the wardrobe.., he pick up his khaki jacket, then he check the side pockets, trepidation froze him to the spot when he found the TT..., the supposed drug Mark said he had taken..., he turn to face Jeffery, shock still lingering inside him.., his head bump with conflicting questions ...

"What is it...?"

"The TT..."Brian mutter....."Is still here..."

"Wait what are you saying...?"Jeffery asked immediately

Confused, Brian deep his hands on the khaki jacket again to find his sleeping pills, when he didn't find them, he turn back to face Mark...."It wasn't TT Mark took..., he took my sleeping pills.."

"Wait slow down..."Jeffery cut in.."Are you saying Mark didn't take the TT but he took your sleeping pills.."

"Exactly.., he took my sleeping pills, that's why he can't remenber having sex with her because he didn't have sex with her..."

"So if he slept off and didn't have sex with her, how is she dead..?"

"I guess we'll know the answer to your question if only we can find out what happened during the time he was sleeping...."

"Are you insinuating someone else came to the house.....?"

"That's the only explanation.., if Mark had slept off.., it only means he didn't kill Abigail.., someone else did.."


"What do you suggest we do.., do we check his room if we'll find a clue as to who was here that day.."

"Yes we should.."Brian said dropping the khaki jacket and following Jeffery to Mark's room.....

When they entered the room, it was just as it was the day Abigail died.., only now there were clothes littered on the bed and ground but everything else was the same...., Jeffery look around and he quickly remenber where Abigail's body was laying on ..., he stepped away from the spot and turn his gaze towards another direction.., he saw something, something underneath Mark's ranger..., he lowered his self down and pick it up....

"Brian.."He call out gently turning to face him with the knife he saw..

"A knife.."Brian resounds walking close to him...

"Remenber I told you yesterday one of the kitchen knives was missing.."Jeffery said...."Well here it is...."

"What was he doing with a knife..?"Brian asked.."Do you think he was trying to commit suicide...?"

"No I don't think so..."Jeffery said..."If he was, why throw it under the ranger..."

"Do you think she tried to kill herself..?"

"What if she stabbed herself..?"Jeffery ask

"No..., there was no blood in her body, I don't think she stabbed herself..."

Jeffery exhale.., now that they know Mark is innocent, the case has gone more complicated

"Let's just keep searching.., we might find something..."Brian said

Jeffery nodded and start looking around again..., he bowed down again to see if he'll see any other thing and that was when he saw a bead, a bead he recognised very well thrown under the bed..., without time wasting, he pick it up and show it to Brian..

"Do you recognise this...?"Jeffery ask Brian..

Brian took the bead from him trying to remenber where he has come across it......

"It belongs to Rebecca..."Jeffery chime into his thought.."Mark's girlfriend..."

"What...?..., then what is it doing here..."

"I don't know.."Jeffery said.."Maybe she left it here the last time she was here..."

"Could the last time be the same day Abigail was here..."

"No, I'm talking about the last time before this whole Abigail thing.."

"I need to see Mark.."Brian said putting the hand bead in his pocket..

"What for..?"

"If it's true she left the bead in the house the last time she was here with Mark.., Mark will know.."

"The bead was under the bed, how could Mark possibly know...?"

"I don't know, whatever the outcome, I've to try..just keep searching"

"Okay..."Jeffery mutter with nibbed lips and watch as Brian disappear with the hand bead...








********************
"You have ten minutes..."The policeman said to Brian before he allowed him into the room Mark was held....

Brian nodded slightly irritated with the way the policeman spoke to him, on a normal day he would have responded in the policeman tone...., without a second glance at him, he walked into the room, what followed was the slamming of the door by the policeman...

The bad smell of the room found way to Brian's nose before he saw Mark sited, his hands handcuffed to the round hook on the table....

"Oh God..."He mutter, his voice rumbling low and sadden...

"I didn't think they were going to let me see you or Jeffery again.."Mark said, his thin injured lip quivering with the words...

"What happened to you..?"Brian ask when he saw the bruise on Mark's face..

"It's nothing.."

"What do you mean nothing, you've been here for just two days and you already have a bruise ..."

"I got into a fight with my cell mate, it's a long story.., tell me, how are you...?"

Brian sigh.."We want you back Mark.., we'll never be fine until you're back home with us.."

"They're taking me to court tomorrow...."

Brian's eyes enlarged with shock.."What.., so soon.."

"Yes.., they want the case to be done with, so they taking me to court for the judge to decide my fate..."

"You cannot go to jail.."

"I killed her man.."

"No you didn't.."Brian said..."You didn't take the TT.., you took my sleeping pills, that's the reason you couldn't remember having sex with her because you didn't..., do you know what else that means..., it means you didn't kill that girl.."

"Well if I didn't, who did..?"

"That's what we trying to find out.., we needed to know what happened during the time you were sleeping.., so Jeffery and I went into room to search for clues.., we found a knife.., what were you doing with a knife.."

"I didn't have a knife.."Mark said..

"It was in your room.."

"Well I don't know how it got there.."

"We found something else.."Brian said bringing out the bead from his side pocket...."We found this.."He added dropping it on the table....

"This belongs to Rebecca.., I got it for her as a sign of my love to her..."

Brian tilt his head towards him..."The last time you saw her.., that day she said those horrible words to you.., was she wearing the bead....?"
"Yes.."Mark said..."She never take it off...., she said it blends with her skin.."

"Well she took it off..., it means she was at the house that day..."

"Are you insinuating she killed Abigail...?"

"I'm not insinuating anything, but this bead has just proven she was there that day..., if there's an inky probability she knows something, I need to find out..."

Mark sat still wondering if Rebecca was capable of murder..."What do you intend doing....?"

Brian quickly stood up when the policeman knocked on the door signalling him his time with Mark is over..."What time is the court hearing..?"

"9AM tomorrow..."

"If you go to that court Mark, you're never coming back...."Brian said before he glance at his time.."I have just 18hours to prove your innocence..."

"Is it worth it..?"

"Yes it's worth it.."Brian snapped..."I brought this on you, if I had said NO when you asked me to give you a girl, none of this would have happen..., that's why I can't let you go to jail.., I'm going to prove your innocence.., I'll bring the real killer..., I promise you this Mark..., just hang in there "

"Thank you..."Mark manage to say before Brian dashed out of the room....








*******************


18HOURS COUNTDOWN






After asking a few persons the location of Rebecca's house, he finally got it.., he followed the description until he came to face the compound, just like people have described, her flat was the first flat on the right.., he wasted no time before he knocked heavily on the door..

When no answer came, he knocked again until he heard the door key creak before the door sprung open.....

"You..."Rebecca blare out, she look around when she saw noone than some people staring at their direction, she heaved a low hiss and revert her gaze to Brian.."What do you want..?"

Brian certainly had no time to waste, he was bend on saving Mark and he have just 18hours to do that...., he gritted before he took out the hand bead from his pocket and showed it to her..."Yours isn't it...?"

She look at the bead before she poured the word out.."No.."

Brian nibbed, then he look around before he faced her again.."I'm not flirting with you.., this belongs to you.."

"It doesn't belongs to me.."She said back immediately..."And if you have nothing meaningful to say but show me some stupid hand bead, then I think you should leave.."

"You must be mistaken me for Mark.."Brian sneer looking daggers at her..

She huff.."Get out of my house..."

Infuriated, Brian look around again, when he saw no one looking his way, he turn to face her and like an enraged panther, he grabbed her neck and drag her into her house...

She try to breathe as she struggle against his firm grip..

"Listen to me bitch...."Brian snarled tightening his grip on her throat..."I know this is yours and I know you were at our house on monday.., did you kill that girl..?"

She slap his arm but nothing seem to be working.., short of breathe she opened her mouth to talk and that was when Brian let go of her..

She cough as she try to catch her breathe again..

"Did you kill Abigail..?"Brian yelled..

"No.."She yelled back raising her gaze to him.."You're right, I was there in the house that day, but I only went there to apologise to Mark for the things I said to him.., I got there and saw him naķed and he was sleeping..., and then I saw the female clothes.., I thought he hooked up with another girl and I was about leaving when that girl walked into the room also naķed....."

"So what happened...?"Brian asked anxiously, his eyes digging into her..., like a sharp knife to her rips..

"What do you think happened.., I left and didn't look back till I was out of the house.."

"You're lying..."Brian said

"I'm not lying, that's was what happened.., if you don't believe me you can ask your friend, the Jehovah witness...."

"Lucas...."Brian said

"Yes Lucas.., I met him on my way out.., i caught him looking at me for a while before he went into your house..., you can call him and ask him if you don't believe me..."

Surprise at the turnout, he took out his phone and dial Lucas number right there in her front.., he waited impatiently but there was no answer.., he curl his lip and dial the number again, luckily for him, Lucas answered....

"Lucas.."Brian said but there was silence at the other end, so he called out again raising his voice.. "Lucas.."

"Yea, I'm here.."Lucas coarse voice sounded...

"I'm having a bit of a situation here..."Brian said..."You remenber Rebecca don't you..?"

"Yes..."Lucas replied from the other end..

"She said you saw her coming out from our house the same day Abigail died.., is this true..?"

There was silence from Lucas end before Brian hollered....
"Lucas.."

"Yes it is.. "Lucas said..

"And when you heard the news of Mark been detained for his confession to have killed Abigail, you didn't tell us you were there at the house that day.., why..?"

"I...,I.. "Lucas stutter from his end..."I wanted to tell you.."

"Tell me what.."Brian ask.."Did you kill Abigail..?"

"No I didn't.."Lucas said..

"Then what happened...?"

"I went into the house..."Lucas said, his voice trailing low on the phone.."I called out your name, called out Mark's and Jeffery, when no one answered me, I thought you guys just chose to ignore me, so I sat down waiting for one of you to come out...."

"And then what happened..?"Brian queried when Lucas paused..

"I heard footsteps.. "Lucas said...."When I raise my head to see who was coming, i saw her, she..she she.., she was naķed, I didn't know who she was so I said nothing to her.., then she came on me and began rubbing her hands on me, you know how I hate those things so I pushed her away..., she tried to come on me again and that was when I ran out from the house.., I wasn't the one who killed her Brian...., you need to believe me..."

Brian flare his nose, then he took the phone from his ears to look at the incoming call, when he realise it is Jeffery calling, he ended the call with Lucas and answered Jeffery's call...

"You won't believe what I just find out.."Brian said immediately..."Lucas was at the house on that day.."

"Lucas.."Jeffery reiterated from the other end..."What did he say.., is he the one...

"No.., he said she tried to seduce him and he ran out of the house.."

"You won't like what I find that.."Jeffery said

"What is it..?"Brian ask anxiously

"You remember that mug Jennifer bought for you..?"

"Yeah.."Brian said turning to face Rebecca..

"Well it's missing..."Jeffery said...."And then the shirt you got For Jennifer on valentine's day is here in our house, I found it at the back of the chair..."

"Wait hold on.."Brian said..."Are you saying the mug she got me is missing and the shirt I got her is in our house..."

"Yes.., and she could only have brought in these things the same day Abigail died while Mark was asleep...., what if she's the one who killed Abigail..."

"But why would she kill her..?"Brian ask thinking on the possibility

"Man, she's angry with you, maybe when she saw her, she thought she was one of your whòres..., what if she got into a fight with her and she killed her in the process..."








*******************
It was almost an hour later when Brian got to Jennifer's apartment, somewhere he has sworn never to go again..., he stood to check his time, he exhale realising he has exhausted two hours from from the eighteen hours, now he was left with sixteen hours to prove Mark's innocence..

Determination pushed him forward, he trot towards the house, look around to see if she was outside ,when he didn't see her, he rumbled a heavy knock on the protector...., he got no reply, it infuriated him, what she did to him came knocking on his head again, the bitch made him lose his job and that's something he'll never forgive her for and now she's trying to ruin his friend life..

His insides seething with a fiery anger, he knocked again and continue knocking until she came out...

"How dare you come in here..?"She queried, her voice carrying a thread of anger that went beyond everything else..

"Where's my mug..?"He asked and waited for her reply..

"Do you have a mug..?"She retorted.."I gave that mug to you and I took it back..."

"So it's true you were at my house that day.., you must have heard the news, somebody died in the house that day and my friend is been accused of it...

"Are you talking about that crazy bitch..?"She cut in..

His lips curled with suppressed rage..."So you meant her.."

"Yes I did.., I went to your house that day to return the shirt you got for me since it kept reminding of you.., I knocked the door, no one answered, I turn down the knob and realise the door was open, so I went in, I threw the stupid shirt on the chair and walked into your kitchen to take the mug, then I went to your room to search for the perfume I bought for you last week, when I didn't find them, I turn to leave and that was how i ran into that lunatic.., she was naķed and holding a knife..."

"So you killed her..., because you thought she was one of my whòre...?"

"Are you kidding me..?"She fling back tossing a strap of her hair backward..."I may be angry at you but I'm not a murderer neither do I break people's heart..., that bitch scared the shit out of me with the knife.., I left before I could get injured by her okay.., I didn't even get the chance to ask if she was your whòre.."

"You're lying.."He said

"You're the one who lie.., you're the one who cheats and keep murderers as friends..., I loved you but how did you pay me back, you torn my heart into nothing buy shreds.."

"So you got jealous and killed her thinking she's one of my whòres...., for what, to make me suffer?"

"Believe whatever you want.., you think I care.."

"Admit it..., it was you.., you killed Abigail.."

"You're crazy.."She sneer and walked back into her house, what followed was the slamming of the door then she closed the window curtains...

Brain groaned, when his phone rang, he quickly answered the call

"Are you there now...?"Jeffery ask curiously from the other end..

"Yes.."Brian said.."I confronted her, she said she didn't kill Abigail.."

"Do you believe her..?"Jeffery asked

Brian grunted and move a few inch from Jennifer's house..."They're the only ones who came to the house that day.., the only ones who saw Abigail before she died..., now I don't know if I believe them or not, but I do know one of them is lying..."

THE BACHELORS
EPISODE 7
EPISODE TITLE- Comes the guilt








Mark stepped into the shower, toes flinching as they touched the chilled ceramic floor, his mind was in shreds, he would never forget the fact that he killed someone.., he turned the dial, old and metallic, releasing thousands of lukewarm drops, darkening his hair and trickled down his back, his eyes fell closed over and over, each time showing him her dead body like photographs...., the water pours down, it drips by his side, as his mind fades into dullness and everything is a foggy illusion. The sensation of the steamy water calms him but fails to get the taunting memory of what he did from his head...

He turn off the shower, grab a towel and step out of the bathroom.., not bothering to change into any shirt, he sat on the bed allowing his head to revisit the memory, the painful moment of his life.....

"Mark..."Brian call out knocking on the room door..

Mark ignored the knock and drown into an attitude of profound sadness..., her body was found the previous day and questions were asked on how she died.., the news of her death rented all newspapers and news stations, people are saying in social media that she deserves what she got while others assume other things, they rant insults on her memory and it pained him.., every fibre in his body wants him to confess..., he wants to be relieve from the guilt that was slowly devouring him from the inside.., how long will he live with the guilt.., he knows very well his life will never be normal again.., never will he derived pleasure on doing things he do before because he'll always be reminded of what he did, always be reminded he should be in jail and not live like others...

"Mark...."Brian shouted again

Limp extremities creaked and cracked under the pressure of Mark's body. Abigail's lifeless corpse came like flashes in his head.., he couldn't sleep the previous night neither did he sleep the night before because whenever he closed his eyes, he sees her crying out for help, just for a sign someone was there for her, but her whimper was slowly lost in the thinning air.......

"Mark open the door or I swear I'll break it down.."Brian retorted, his voice carrying a thread of anger that went beyond his need to enter the room..

The guilt drained through Mark rather than skating over his skin. It travelled through every cell to reach the ground..., fatigue engraved in his worn face, he manage to stand up, drag his feet towards the door and opened it...

Brian suck on his teeth as he walk into the room, he stare at Mark, watching him sit before he moved his eyes around and realise the food he brought to him before he went out was still on the floor just as he left it....

"What's your problem man..?"Brian queried with shrugged shoulders..."Do you want to kill yourself...?"

Mark didn't reply, his friends will never understand the horror that is happening inside him, they'll never understand how it feels to have your hands sour with someone's blood.., how it feels to be the one who ends someone life, someone's dreams and aspirations....

Brian grunted, look away before facing him again...."Look man she's dead, she's not coming back again, starving yourself or living like a breathing corpse won't bring her back.., so snap out of it man.., I need you back..."

"What are people saying about her death..?"Mark ask in a low tone

"What people are saying about her dead aren't our business anymore man.., her body was found in the gutter, people will surely talk..."

Mark lour his head, the guilt inside him was a hollowness. He can't tell what's worse. Sometimes the hollowness becomes a shell, holding in a thousand oceans of tears. Sometimes though, it holds a thousand pieces of glass that are wedged in between his soul and body.and he fears he might break and give up.....

"Mark..."Brian snapped...."What happened to you could happen to anyone.., it isn't your fault she died okay..., you said it yourself, you don't even remember if...

"I want to be left alone Brian.."Mark cut in not raising his face to look at him..

"Why, so you can keep starving yourself and eventually kill yourself.., you haven't even eaten anything since yesterday..."

"I'm not hungry..."

Brian heaved a weakening sigh...."Look, I brought someone to cheer you up again.., she's beautiful..., have some sex and forget your sorrows man..., drown them inside the condom.."

"I want to be left alone Mark.."He said again..

"Fine..."Brian said in surrender..."Only now I'm going to have both of them..."

Mark didn't reply, didn't have the strength to, all he is now is a roll of sadness like every other emotion has been pushed from his being. Where there was love, light, laughter was now an aching hollowness that demands nothing but his total destruction and it was working.., he's at the verge of self destruct and he fears he might not be able to turn back....

"Fine..."Brian said when he waited too long for a reply..."But eat your food..., I'll hate to have another corpse lying around here..."He added taking one glance at him before he walked out of the room...








*****************
When Jeffery heard the giggling and loud hysteric laughter again, he opened his eyes totally agreeing with himself there's no way he's going to have a nice siesta with all the noise coming from the parlour...
He sat up and held the pillow to himself, his mind wandered off to the body and he quickly stood from the bed to shake the thought off..., Abigail's lifeless body had given him two nights of no sleep because he kept seeing her face.., her cold face staring at him....

He exhale, grab a pair of trouser as he quickly decides to join Brian in the parlour and join in the laughter...., satisfy with his clothes, he wore a mild perfume and walk out of his room and heads towards the parlour all the while wondering how to start a conversation with the girls..

Since his secondary school days, he has been the shy type, the type no one notices in the class but in his case he was and that's because teachers always point at him to answer questions since he was always quiet and love sitting in the front..., then in secondary school he hated the backseat because he always thought the backseat were meant for the noise makers and the dull ones...

He stopped in his tracks when he saw one of the two girls Brian had brought to the house.., he couldn't believe it..., she's the same girl he's been thinking and having all sorts of fantasies about...

"My man..."Brian hailed when he saw Jeffery standing gormlessly...

Brian's voice jolted him from his big thoughts.., a bit abashed, he moved towards Brian..."Let me talk to you for a sec man.."

"Okay.."Brian dragged between his teeth standing up to follow Jeffery outside...

"Where did you meet that girl..?"Jeffery ask the moment he was sure they were out of earshot...

"Which girl..?"

"The fair one man.., Benita..."

"You know her..?"Brian ask

"Of course I know her, she's my crush..."

Brian flinch with surprise before he crackled..."Are you serious..?"

"If I wasn't serious, I won't be telking you this..., I've fatasize having sex with her more times than I can count.., how did you meet her, what's she to you..., wait, she be olosho...?"

"Yeah kinda..., actually I brought her here to be with Mark.., but that guy nor wan get sense..."

"Come on man.."Jeffery said.."You know that's a bad idea, it's just been two days since this whole thing happen.., I don't think Mark will have sex for a very long time...."

Brian sigh.."Yes you right.., so that means, Benita is yours.."

"Wait, are you serious..?"

"You get condom..?"Brian ask in pidgin

"Yes na.."

"Wetin you dey take dem dey do..., nor be balloon dem be o.."

"That's an insult Brian.."

Brian laugh.."Come on, I'm just kidding..., come inside.."

Jeffery lick his lips and followed...., when they were in, he fixed his eyes on her.., God she was so beautiful and her eyes were magical.., her fair skin was worth devouring by his tongue.., he watch as Brian approached her, whisper some things into her ear before he extended his hands to the other girl who took it...

Brian eye-beared him before he went outside with the other girl leaving only him and Benita...

Jeffery legs shook as he search for words to say to her.., this is his dream girl..., too bad though she's an almost olosho...

"Hi.."He mutter at her

"Hi.."She said back barely smiling and it scared Jeffery..., one more reason adding to the reasons he doesn't talk to the girls he crushes on..

"So.......

"Should we go to your room...?"She cut in

Jeffery mouth dropped, that was quick, he wonder what Brian must have told her..., he must have told her he needed sex..., he wanted to indulge her in a meaningful conversation first before sex.., but since she wants to start with sex before conversation, who's he to deny her such proposal...

"Okay..."He replied slowly standing up from the chair.., when she stood up too, he realise she was wearing a short gown that barely reached her knee.., but damn, her face, her well package breast was already giving him a hard on....Congil na bastard..

Like an obedient boy, he walked her to his room, his heart rent as she look around, he wasn't the dirty type that leaves his room untidy and unkempt but he was still ashamed she might find a fault with his arrangement...

"Your bed is soft.."She said sitting on it..

He had no idea how to react to the kind remark, so he just smile like an amateur madman....., his mouth dropped and his heart pulsated when she began to pull off her gown revealing her pant and her bra..., just then he knew, it's about to get hot.., it's time to break the yoke of virginity....

"You're shaking.."She said dropping her gown on the ground...

He poked his eyes out surprise how she knew he was nervous...

"Are you a virgin or what..?"

"I'm not a virgin.."He lied immediately.., he didn't want to be laughed at and telling her he's a virgin will bring that....."I just like my women taking control.."He added when no other word suffice..

She pout and move closer to him, then she helped him took his shirt off before she unbuttoned his jean and dragged it down then she peered her eyes at the bulge in his tight underwear..

Jeffery wondered why she was staring at bulge instead of just grabbing it, pull his boxers down like they do in pòrn and take his dick to her mouth...

As if she read his mind, she pull down his briefs, when his erected dick bounced up, she stare at his face..

"What.."Jeffery asked immediately.."You don't want this..?"He asked totally bothered by what was running in her mind.., there it hit him.., his penis isn't that big, neither was it thick like Mark's.., she must have seen penis way bigger than his..

She didn't say anything, instead she roam her hands on his dry chest and push him on the bed..."I want to be a mummy to you.."She said climbing on him and sitting on his penis...

He groaned in pain and pleasure as she grind her waist on the shaft of his dick..., when he felt a pour out of precum, he feared he might spill even before he got fùcked....

"Hold me.."She said

"Okay.."He said and sat up to hold her stomach feeling scared to hold her waist..

"No not my stomach.."She said.. "Hold me on my waist..."

"Okay.."He said obediently and wrapped his hand around her waist, their heads were just a finger distance....

"Relax.."She said.."You're breathing too fast.."

He felt a tickle of embarrassment, it certainly wasn't his fault his heart chose this moment of all moments to disgrace him...

"Now lean your mouth on my neck.."She said

His head brood over how they do it in porn, he did as she ask leaning his mouth on her neck.., her neck was soft, pretty, if only he was a vampire...

"Now kiss my neck.."She said

His head took a second before it sent a command to his mouth..., a bit confused on how to kiss her.., he perked the tender skin of her neck..

"Are you sure you've had sex with a woman..?"She asked immediately

"Mm-hmm.."He replied nodding his head.., avoiding any other question, he kiss her neck again, this time staying longer than the first.

She heave a low moan.."Bring your mouth down, kiss my collarbone.."

He did as she ask, kissed her collarbone..

"Lick it with your tongue.."

His eyes widened but he did it anyway..

"Don't rush.."She said.."Kiss it in a sensual way.., easy, gentle, let me feel the sensation..., bite me gently.."

He stopped at the last order, when she said it again, he did it, bit her gently

She moan..."Hold my breast while you ravish my neck with your kisses.."

He waited for no further information before he grabbed her left breast while he kisses her hungrily, with each moan she makes, the more he gets hard..

"Squeezed my breast and fòndle my nipple.." She said and moan in ecstasy when he did it.....

"Suck my belly button.."She added bringing his head to her stomach

He lick his lips as his eyes grazed her belly button, with no further instructions, he delve into it with his tongue..., after a while, she pushed his head to her swollen pussy.., he knew exactly what she wanted, he has seen it in porn how the males eat the woman's pussy..., the thought alone was irritating.., he couldn't bring his tongue to her pussy, instead he inserted a finger inside ...

She was panting and giggling when his fingers began sliding in and out of her pale pussy. The scene made her lose her resolve to remain impassive and she quickly reach her fingers down to rub her aching clit..

Jeffery's focus was intense; his need to pleasure her almost feral..., he increases his pace glad she was enjoying it..

"Jesus, fùck me already.."She shouted

"Okay..."He said rushing to his wardrobe to get a condom.., when he got one, he torn it and wore it.., he didn't want to be seen like the virgin boy that he is, so he took his time running his penis over her glistening folds..., the indescribable pleasure of his action was evident on his face, after a while, he manage to enter her, he remenber how it's done in porn, he thrust in slowly and pull out again all the while locking his eyes with her...., his hips swivelled when he bent forward to bite at her nipple, his uninhibited moans filled the room, punctuated by every thrust...

"Stop..."She shouted pushing him off..

"Stop what..?"He ask

"I'm not feeling it.."She said..

"You're not feeling what..?"

"I'm not feeling your penis, it's too small.., I'm sorry but I love big dicks.., you don't even seem like you know what you're doing.."

Embarrassment, shame moulded his face, he said nothing but look at his penis that she called small..

"I'm sorry.."She said wearing her gown before she left the room without a second glance at him...

Jeffery mouth dropped, the shame, the evil embarrassment almost swallowing him up.., realising he can't let her leave like that, he wore his boxers and ran to the parlour but she was gone...., he look at his penis, it was still erected and throbbing hard for ejaculation..., wanting to go back to his room to masturbate, he noticed Mark's room door was open.., curiosity deem on him and he quickly trot towards the door only to get there and Mark wasn't there...

"Mark.."He called out and was about taking a walk to the kitchen when his eyes caught something, a paper and pen on the bed.., he quickly picked the paper up and read the words written on it..., his heart slammed hard against his chest.., when he got himself back, he ran back to his room to get his phone..

Hands shaking, he dial Brian mumber who answered after the second..

"Hey man, happy breaking your virginity.."Brian said jokingly from the other end..

"Mark is gone Brian..."Jeffery shouted looking at the paper again

"What do you mean Mark is gone.., isn't he in his room..?"

"He left a note.., he's going to confess to the police.."

"You have to find him Jeffery.."Brian shouted with unsettled voice.."We can't let him go to the station..., find him.."







*****************
His face frozen like a corpse, Mark walked into the police station, he took a deep breathe, the flashes of her dead body appearing in his visions reminding him he's a killer.., the guilt, he can't take it any longer...

"Who are you looking for..?"A constable asked

A tear dropped from Mark's eyes, at this point he knew there is no return, his decision is selfish but he needed to do it, for himself.., to be free .., he raise his wet eyes to the policemen at the counter before saying the words out....."I have a confession to make..."

"What confession ....?"They asked him...

Mark swallowed forcefully..., once again, he saw those dark flashes of her body.., her cold face when they threw her in the gutter....."I..."He stutter and more tears rolled down his chin....."I.., I killed Abigail..."

Good job bro

Thanks sir

showgoeson:
I can easily relate to this since it has happened to someone I know, he locked the girl inside the house for fear she might steal his things before he returns,when he got back she was already dying he call on neighbours and they quickly took her to the hospital, the girl survived, that was what save him from the big problem he could have found himself.

What happened to Mark can happen to any guy, one just needs to be careful with the decisions he makes.

Silver thumbs up, this isn't just a story to me, it's a warning

Thanks sir

THE BACHELORS
EPISODE 6
EPISODE TITLE- The ghost stories









Fear sits on Brian like a pillow over his mouth and nose. Enough air gets by it, allowing his body to keep functioning, but it was crippling all the same....., he just stood froze to the spot as he watch one of the policeman take a step forward....

"I mind..."Brian finally let out putting his panic in check.., he raise his eyes towards the direction of Mark's room befor he settled them on the policeman.....

"And why is that...?"The other policeman replied.."Are you and your friend hiding something here...?"

Brian lips curl, he hated policeman, ever since he was arrested the first year of his university days, he had sworn not to be friendly with any policeman....."I know my right officer, under no circumstance are you supposed to search my house without a warrant...."

The policeman lift a brow at him and shift his eyes to Jeffery before reverting his gaze back to Brian..."You must understand we need to do this..."

"Did you search the other houses...?"Jeffery cut in standing up.., cold chills sheen down his spine but he remained composed.., any stupid bleaked fear will complicate things..."You didn't, did you...?"

He steady his breathe as he watch the policemen glance at each other..."So you didn't and you want to check our house.., because we're guys, you think we're criminals..."

"That's not the reason.."One of the policemen said..."We're just following protocols.. "

"Protocols...!"Brian scoff.."Whose protocol officer..., with all due respect sir , I cannot let you search my house without a warrant...."

"You're beginning to sound like a suspect...."The policeman riposte..."What exactly are you hiding in this house..?"

Brian sigh, more of irritation...."Since you're insisting.., then I'll have to say this straight to you.., if you search my house and see my wife naķed body..., we'll go to court.."

The policeman looked at the other, then he moved his eyes around before facing his partner again who motioned him for them to leave......
"Fine..."The policeman said to Brian.."We'll be leaving but we'll be back..."

"Till then officer.."Brian said back

The policeman shift his gaze from him to Jeffery then he glance at his partner before turning to walk away..

"Have a nice night officer.."Brian said after them but they didn't bother replying before leaving...

After they close the door, Jeffery hurried towards the door and locked it again, then he peep from the window to be sure they were gone.., satisfy with what he saw, he turn back to face Brian..."Mark.."

"That damn guy..."Brian sneer and quickly begin to make for Mark's room, Jeffery tagging along..

Mark sprang up from the bed when he heard his name, his breathes coming in gasp, he watch the door creak and Brian pushed it wide open....

"Are...."Mark stutter trying to form words...."Are they gone...?"

Brian glance at Abigail's body before he took his eyes to Mark who was still naķed..."Yes they're gone.."

Mark sigh, a deep sigh of relief....

"So what do we do...?"Jeffery asked anxiously with a cringe at the dead body laying on the bed...

"What else than to get rid of her.."Brian replied, his insides seething with anger...

"We can't get rid of her now.."Jeffery said looking around in search of a wall clock, when he found none, he took out his phone from his pocket, tap the screen to check the time...."Its 8:35PM"

Brian exhale.."We'll still have to wait till midnight....."

"How do you even plan on getting her out of here..?"Jeffery asked.., he wasn't comfortable with the plan.., wasn't comfortable in getting rid of a corpse.., the whole idea was scaring him...

"When the time comes, we'll figure something out.."Brian said walking from where he was standing...."Can you please cover her up..?"He quizzed infuriated

"With what..?"Mark asked

"With my ass Mark..., are you seriously kidding me right now..?"

Mark shivered at Brian outburst.., he knew Brian was angry, Jeffery is too, anyone in their shoes will probably be.., it's his fault, he brought this upon them..., his decision to prove Rebecca wrong has led him through this road..., he wish he can turn back time so he can right his wrong......, but it's too late now, too late to turn back from the horror engulfing every part of them...., he fears all might get lose and he'll end up going to jail...

He feels guilty, feels like a murderer.., that's what he is, a murderer, he killed someone.., someone who probably have dreams, goals to achieve, he ended it all because he was stupid and too blinded by his pride to realised Rebecca hurtful words were flaring him up to push him into the bottomless part of a pit....., he's in there, hopeless, even if it all past and he manage to get away.., life won't be the same..., not as it used to be, the guilt will still be there, her face will always hunt him, it'll push him beyond every horror one can ever encounter...the rest of his pitiable life will like hell on earth...., like doomsday have fall upon him...

Mark wipe his eyes almost dry, he knew they'll never be dry..., not after what he's done.., he climbed into the bed and wrapped her dead body with his bedsheet, he wrapped the sheet all over her body and her head before he rolled her to the floor..

Jeffery flinched when her body landed with a thud on the ground.....
"I don't like this idea.."Jeffery said with shaking hands......"What if we get caught taking her body from here.."

"Are you been serious right now..?"Brian queried before wiping off sweat from his forehead.....

"I'm been serious man.., this is a dead body not a bag of rice.., we could go to jail if we're caught..."

"Just stop Jeffery..."Brian hollered..."What do you want us to do, keep her here with us..., do you want to play with and feed her dead body..."

"I know what I'm saying Brian.., what if we get caught, what happens then..?"

"Then we don't get caught.."Brian fling back..

"What if we do.?"

"Look...."Brian stated irritated with Jeffery whining ..."If you're scared, you can stay home.."

"Or you can both stay home.."Mark chimes in..."I did this, it's my cross to bear..."

"What the hell are you saying man.., I'm in this as much as you are.., I brought in that girl.."

"And I killed her.."

"You don't know that..., you said you don't remember anything.."

"Well explain this..., just like Jeffery said, we're both naķed, it means we had sex and my big dick probably killed her.., or maybe the sex was rough, maybe I strangled her while fùcking her and she past out and never woke up...."

"Or maybe you didn't do any of that..."Brian said

"One way or the other, I killed her Brian.., how else would you explain her death.."

"Alright, you killed her..., she's dead, what do you want to do, confess to the police and be locked behind bars...."

Mark swallowed, that was the idea, confess and face the penalty of his actions but the idea of going to jail was battling..., as much as he wants to pay for his crime, to cease the guilt he was feeling, he doesn't want to be confined behind bars.....

"The only solution to this is to get rid of her body...."Brian chime into his thoughts...

"And what happens..?"Mark ask with shrugged shoulders...."Everything goes to normal....?"

"Well it's best for things to be abnormal than spending the youthful years of your life in prison...., so get dressed and let's hatched a plan on how to go about this.."

"I'm scared.."Jeffery cut in

"Yes.."Brian snapped..."I know you're scared, we're all scared but this is something that needs to be done.., do you prefer those policemen come back in here and see her body...?"

"Fine..."Jeffery muffled..."Where are we taking her body....?"

"I don't know.."Brian replied with a shrug...."We'll dump her anywhere our legs take us to..."

Jeffery sniffle, fear lingering inside him....."If we get caught....

"Will you stop it...?"Brian cut in sharply..."I told you before if you aren't ready to go you can stay at home.."

"I didn't say I won't go.."

"Then what the hell are you saying..?"

His mouth squimp..."I'm just saying if we get caught, what do we do..?"

"Nothing.., so we can only hope we don't get caught..."

Jeffery huff not comfortable with the whole idea but the thought of backing out was overwhelming..., even if he wanted to..., he can't....

"Fine.."He said awkwardly..."Whatever be the case.."

"Yes.., whatever be the case..."










********************
It was 2 in the morning when Jeffery felt a hand touching him, he quickly woke up from his deep slumber only to see Brian looking down at him..

"Is it time already...?"Jeffery asked wiping the remaining of the sleep from his eyes..

"Yes..."Brian replied leaving him to help Mark carried Abigail's body from the room...

Jeffery lazily stood up wondering how he manage to fall asleep in the first place giving the fact that he was very scared to close his eyes in the first place..., the thoughts of been under the same roof with a dead body terrified him.., he has read and heard lots of ghost stories, watch alot of movies centralised on ghost, how they hunt and torment people.., the ghost in the movies and stories he has read, they drove their victims mad.., drove them to the edge of suicide....

His heart slammed hard against his chest when they carried Abigail's bed sheet wrapped body into the parlour and dropped her four steps in front of him..., the sight alone was tormenting like he was actually seeing her, getting up from those sheets and doing what ghost do....., it scared him to the bone making him quickly stand up from the chair and drew closer to the other two men.., the two strong men in the team who were fully dressed in jean and polo why him was still wearing the clothes he had on since he came home..

"So what's the plan..?"Jeffery asked shivering behind them

"The plan is get her out of here.."Brian replied without a glance at him...

"Yeah I know that.., my question meant how.., the security boy is always at the gate, how do we get her past the gate without him seeing her dead body..."

"He has a point.."Mark chime in, his voice rumbling low and sadden..."We can't get her past the gate wrapped like this, he'll figure something is going on..?"

"We don't have a car to load her body in.."Brian riposte.."Are you suggesting we borrow the neighbours car..?"

"No.., I think we should unwrapped her, you and I will hold her standing and drag her out like she's drunk and we're taking her home.."

"At this late hour of the night...?"Brian asked....

When Mark gave no reply, he continued..."The security boy is a stupid hausa boy, he'll believe whatever we tell him...."

"But we can't take her out wrapped like this.., it'll arouse suspicion...."Mark said

Brian heaved a deep sigh..."Fine, unwrap her.."

"Should we call Lucas...?"Jeffery ask..."He has a motorcycle, he can come with it..."

"No we can't call lucas.."Brian replied immediately..."Lucas won't understand, he's the least person we should think of calling, he'll judge and condemn us even before we stand before God for judgement..."

"Alright.."Jeffery said in surrender, he watch as Mark unwrap her..., when he opened her face again, he flinched remembering she's really dead....

"Should we go now...?"Mark asked, when Brian nodded, Mark lifted Abigail's body on his shoulder....

Brian took a peep outside from the window..., everywhere was dark and quiet, thank God his neighbours don't bother putting on their outside lights..., he looked back at Mark and Jeffery before he slowly unlocked the door..

Jeffery mutter a silent prayer and followed them...

After their door was locked, they trot towards the gate.., Brian knew the security guy must be sleeping.., most time when he goes out for nightclubs and come home late, he'll knock for minutes and the stupid hausa boy never wakes up.., when he gets tired of knocking, he'll call Jeffery since he was the early Waker among them.., his ears were very sensitive, even a finger touch on the wall can wake him up.....

As usual, the gate was heavily locked and he knew the boy must be deep asleep, Brian knew if the situation were different, he would have screamed the security boy's name...., he gently walked towards the window not making any sound.., he didn't want to wake his nosy neighbour, Mr Aleke, he never minds his business in the compound, many times, they've got clashes but he's the type that doesn't love prolong quarrels and grudges, so they settle their issues right there in front of the other neighbours.....

"Joseph..."Brian whisper knocking the security house window......, he frown when no answer came..
"Joseph.."He called again putting more volume in his voice and knocking the window harder..

Luckily for him, he answered and came outside...

"Open gate jare..."Brian scowled..

Joseph did as he was told not even bothering to ask where they were going or glancing at Mark to see who he was carrying..., he just unlock the key, stood like he's still dizzy and waited until they all went outside before he locked again and went back to bed..









******************
After walking for what felt like an hour but was just 30mins walk from their house.., Brian found the perfect place to dump the body....
"Let's drop her here..."He said stopping them...

Jeffery shivered from the cold wind pricking his skin.., the darkness scared him, the ghost stories he has heard and movies he has watch was nothing compare to the horror that was unfolding in front of him.., he's actually here doing this, aiding and abetting to murder or whatever it is.., he look around, there was no one in sight, not even the sound of a cricket was heard...

"Isn't this place too close to our house..?"Mark asked

"It's three streets away from our street Mark.."Brian replied..."So it doesn't count as close.., if anyone sees her, they'll think she was drunk and fell into the gutter, smash her head on the blocks and died..end of story.."

"Okay.."Mark replied with heavy breathes before dropping her body on the ground....

"Where are her shoes ..?"Brian asked when he didn't find them on her legs..

"Oh God..."Mark exclaimed Regretfully...."We forgot them, the shoes and the bag..."

Frown lines encroached on Brian's head but he kept his vexation contained...."Fine, it doesn't even mutter.., give me a hand.."He said grabbing her legs...

Mark grab her hands and together they lifted her cold dead body and dropped it inside the gutter.......

"It's done now...."Brian said

Mark eyes brim with a single tear as he pan his phone light on the body.., he killed her, he ended someone's life, someone's dreams and ambitions...., and he got rid of her because he's too scared to go to jail....., he's the devil...., the one that was spoken about in the bible....The wicked shall have no rest and truly he is never going to get rest for the remaining cursed days of his life....













*********************
It was 3:09AM when they got home.., Brian quickly took out Abigail's handbag and shoes wondering why Mark will forget them......

"We'll get rid of the bag and shoes at dawn.."Brian said crunching down on a chair..

"And what happens after then...?"Jeffery ask

"We'll go back to our lives.."Brian said

"Or we'll wait for the consequences of our actions..."Mark chime in...

Brian sigh and face Mark.."Mark, there won't be any consequences, nobody saw us..."

"Are you sure about that...?"
