** ** ** ** ** ** Nicholas checked the drawer for minutes and didn't meet any other thing inside it. He took his stand as he walked out of the room and started searching for Henry's small room to pick up his things and probably plant a bug there too. Who could say, he might come there to discuss, Nicholas had thought as he searched the house for Henry's room for minutes. As soon as he found out it was the small room he had been parading and leaving, doubting if that was that room, he barged in and planted a bug in a secured place before picking up Henry's bags and walked out of the room, set to leave. As he got to the living room, he heard a car honking outside the house. His heartbeat raced faster. Is he here already? He had asked himself as she dropped one of Henry's bag and brought his gun out. He picked up the bag and walked on slowly till he here loud bashes at the gate. Engineer Ashley was already around and Jerry's guys had been knocking for the gate keeper to get the gate opened. Nicholas knew something had happened and rushed back into the house. He didn't even know the best place to hide himself. Suddenly he felt he was doing the wrong thing, why would he always fear? He wondered as he stepped back to the living room and got the door opened, walking as fast as he could to the backyard of the house so that once Engineer came in, he would go. He had stayed there when he heard that the gate had been opened. One of the guys had jumped in and got the gate opened while Engineer Ashley drove into the compound and the gate was shut. "Where's that guy!" Ashley got down from his vehicle angrily, seeking for the gatekeeper. "Open that place for me." He said to one of the guys as he pointed to the small gatekeeper's house and the door was opened. The man came outside, sweating and worried. "Some people came here and locked me inside the house, Sir." He explained to Ashley. Ashley hissed. His explanations weren't neccessary because it was Jerry and his men that actually locked him up. "Guys, let's go inside." He had said. "I think another person also came some minutes ago and entered into the house after locking the gate." He informed them and they all halted. Ashley's eyes jacked up. The first thought that came to his mind was The Unknown? "Did you see the fellow?" He asked. "No." "Guys begin your search." Ashley quickly said as the guys stormed into the house too. Just then, Beatrice and her friend also got to the gate and honked. The gate keeper rushed there to get the gate. ** ** ** Craig walked to the front of the station as Vivian called him that she had gotten there. He welcomed her and Anthony with a smile. "Thanks for honouring us." He had said as he led the way to the interrogation room. The door was opened and he let the two into the room and shut the door as he walked in too. "Now, welcome once again, Mrs Priscilla." Craig said, looking into her eyes to know her reaction afterall Frank was on seat, she should know he would have told them what the reality was. "Thank you, officer." Vivian smiled. "This way, ma'am." Doris said as she gave them chairs to sit down on. "Frank, can you repeat what you said earlier?" Craig asked him. "Which one of them? Is that she's not Priscilla or I don't think she is married?" Frank said. "Is it through you aren't Priscilla, madam?" Craig asked. "I'm Priscilla and I changed my name after I left Mr Frank's company. By the way, you heard 'Mrs', that means I'm married." She replied. "Mrs Priscilla, it's rare for one to change one's name just like that. From Vivian to Priscilla, is that right?" Vivian chuckled. "Priscilla is also one of my names, what if I decide to start bearing the name instead of Vivian? At least since I was small, everyone had been calling me Priscilla to my secondary school days, university and the time I changed to Vivian, now Priscilla." She replied. "When did you change your name to Vivian?" Doris asked. "When I applied for the post in his company." She replied. "That means everyone during your secondary and tertiary, even when you went to serve did call you Priscilla?" Doris asked. "Sure." She nodded with a short grin. I don't think she's the one. Doris had thought. "So, why exactly did you leave Mr Frank's company, ma'am?" Craig asked. "He was a big trouble to me, always disturbing my life for a relationship as if he didn't know I'm a married woman." Craig chuckled. "Please, if I may ask, where's your husband presently?" "He died in a car accident, but that doesn't mean the bond between us is broken. I loved my husband so much that I can't share this love with any other person. I have vowed to take care of my son all by myself. At least he was the first and last person I have loved, why would I marry another person?" "First and last.." Doris said, keeping the key words in her utterances. "Yes. I have never loved until I met him, but he died." Vivian replied. Doris sighed. Certainly, she's not the one. She nodded as she sat down. "Alright, no problem concerning that. I just have few more questions for you, ma'am." Doris said. "Alright, I'm all ears." "How did you come about your perfume?" Vivian chuckled. "Do you know this is out of the topic at all?" "Please ma'am, it will assist our investigations in another way." "What else are you investigating? The criminals has been caught, what else?" "Just tell us a bit, please." Doris begged her. "This is the perfume he loved most before his death. He liked it so much, so, I couldn't stop using it." She replied. "Craig, I'll be right back." Doris said to Craig as she stepped out to think for a bit. She isn't lying. Firstly, she said everyone did call her Priscilla when she was in high school and even tertiary institution. Nicholas has never told me that. By the way, this lady said her husband would be the first and last to ever love, Nicholas is out of the way! The only thing they share is just about the perfume. She's certainly not the one. She surmised before she entered into the room again. ** ** ** Nicholas couldn't jump over the fence because he would just enter into another house. Just when he heard Engineer's voice that the compound should be checked as well, he threw Henry's things into the next building. He just remembered it was either Frank or Gregory's house and none of them was around. He stepped on the pavement by the flower bed in the compound and hooked on to the fence as he jumped over. He packed Henry's things and prayed there would be no dog in that house. He rushed to the gate and opened it after he had removed his mask and fast-tracked to his car, speeding off. It was a big relief. ** ** ** |

EPISODE TWENTY-ONE ** ** ** Nicholas and Henry came down from the vehicle, both taking short glances at themselves before they walked into the house. Nicholas shut the door and sat on the wooden chair while Henry walked to the mattress and laid down. "You have some cuts, right?" Nicholas asked Henry. Henry moaned softly. "Yeah. I have it in different places, Nick. We have just been risking our lives." Nicholas was downcast by what Henry said. He wasn't sure if he wouldn't die at last. Thank God who had been helping him out of each trouble he put himself in, if not, he would have died very long ago. He even did think if he was at home the day the assassins came to kill his parents; Larry and Louisa, would he be alive to show the faces of the bad men? He just sighed as he raised his head again and looked at Henry. "I'm deeply sorry for putting you in this trouble, Henry. God will save us to the last day of this operation." He said to him. "I'm not complaining, neither am I discouraging you, just telling you what we have been doing to ourselves. Now, how do you intend exposing Ashley today?" "Em.. I suddenly changed my mind." He faced him properly. "Nicholas, the man now suspects that we work together, we are in more danger than you think, Nick." "We just have to be extra ordinarily careful, that's all. You know something, I feel he's going to add more to this evidence we have in my hands." He said as he stood up. He also felt some pains in the cuts on his belly and thighs. "Really? By sending Jerry and the likes, right?" "Kind of, Henry. I'm going to his house right away to plant some bugs in his room." He said. "Nicholas, we are seriously wanted by this man, what are you looking for! Let's rest for today, guy." "No. I have to pack the foolish baggage of yours in that house." Both laughed. "Should I come with you then?" "No, just treat your cuts, eat and rest." He threw the confidential diary to him and turned around. "I'll be back in a nanosecond." "Do you have the bugs and everything needed already?" "I already have them in my car." He waved at Henry and walked out of the room, straight to Ashley's house. ** ** ** "Guys can never make heaven, that is if the heaven everyone talks about really exist!" Lizzy said to Beatrice. Beatrice heaved a soft sigh as she swiveled her chair. "I couldn't believe my eyes, Lizzy! Edward's eyes were so unblinking on that lady, wait, you saw her, didn't you?" Lizzy nodded. "Is she as beautiful as I am?" Lizzy shook her head in disagreement. "You have beaten her in everything she could dream of, Bibie." "Imagine that thing... no!" "Just let go of that, we have to leave that and forge ahead." "But I won't vacillate to deal with her insensately if she tries to grapple the Prince away from me, Lizzy." "She can't! Stop thinking about this shit and let's just bring a better discussion up." "Alright, should we leave for home now?" Beatrice asked. "Yes, let's go and see what Mike has prepared, maybe poison." They laughed. "He won't dare that." Beatrice said as both walked out, heading home. ** ** ** "Engineer, what do we do at this point?" Jerry asked Ashley as he parked the car at the front of his house. "I don't know, Jerry. All I know and I'm sure of is that The Unknown will try to bring me down." He replied. Jerry chuckled. "I have told you to put your mind at rest, we aren't sure if The Unknown actually pulled that stunt! Just keep your fingers crossed." "Ooh... I should keep the fingers crossed till he carries me into the forest and expose my acts." "Even if was The Unknown that did this, he has no evidence to back his accusations up, Engineer." "Hmmn... Okay, if you say so." "So, would you just come over and leave now or what?" "I think that's the best to do now. I can't concentrate if I head to the office. I think I have to take a rest because of this guy has turned my head upside down." "I think you feel so uneasy, should I send two of my guys to watch over you?" Jerry asked. "Sure, that will be better." Ashley grinned. Jerry shrugged. "Alright, just come back to your seat, they'll be with you shortly." He said as he came down from the vehicle and walked into the house to fetch the two guys that would follow Engineer to his house. Soon, the two guys came out and entered into the vehicle with Engineer Ashley and he drove ahead, off to his house. Engineer Ashley was going to his house with some men, Beatrice and Lizzy were also on their way home while Nicholas was almost there. ** ** ** "You said Vivian, right?" Doris looked into Frank's eyes. Frank laughed. "What is it? Her name is Vivian. Let her see me and deny it before me!" He smashed his hands against the big table. Doris looked away. She didn't really know who Vivian was, she just knew she was Nicholas' long lost beloved, but how would she know if it was the Vivian in question that Nicholas had been looking for? She didn't know her facial appearance, by the way, she used the same perfume Nicholas used! That triggered her memory more as she continued thinking. "Doris." That tap from Craig brought her back to life. She didn't know if she had been day dreaming or that was an illusion, painting a picture or that was a pipe dream or a chimera. "Yes, Craig." She faced him quickly. "Why did the lady lie to us? Why?" "How would I know? I think we just have to invite her son and herself here for questioning." She said. "Alright." Craig stepped out to make a call accross to Vivian. ** ** ** Osmond walked into the restaurant with Prince Edward. The two found a corner and sat down as Edward laughed on. "Honestly, it was as if I saw an angel!" He said to Osmond. Osmond chuckled. They had been close friends from childhood. Osmond was just one of the Chiefs' sons who was Edward's best friend. The two were known for their extreme closeness and almost the same character. Osmond wasn't a handsome type, but smart and brainy. It seemed the qualities that were meant to make him handsome were transformed into making him more sensible than Prince Edward. "She's a cutie, right?" "Sure. I'm just not sure if she has a son already, I really don't know." He pulled in his lips. Osmond thought for a while. "Did you see her with a baby?" "No. She was with a small boy." He replied. "So you actually called me to meet you here because of this fine chick in question, right?" "Sure, Osmond. I really want this babe, Osmond I'm damn serious." "That was what you said when you saw Bridget, same thing you said when you met Beatrice, now it is... wait, what's even her name?" "She's Vivian, but call her Viv." He shone his teeth. "I should call her Viv as if you own her, right?" He chuckled. Edward shrugged. "It doesn't matter, Osmond. How can I win her heart, I know you to be smart, Osmond." "I can't count the number of times you have called my name today, Edward." A waitress walked close to their table. "My Prince, what should I serve you?" "Did I order for anything?" He said without turning his head away from Osmond. The waitress left instantly. Osmond chortled. "We should have something to eat, at least it would make the ideas flow better." "Without eating, ideas should flow." Edward grinned. "This issue can be divided into sections." He stopped abruptly and continued after some seconds. "Firstly, Beatrice was there when you admired this chick, that's problem one." He stopped again and continued. "The fact that Beatrice slapped her because you admired the girl means that she would kill her if she finds out something is going on between you two." Edward laughed. "I'm serious, Edward. You know some influential ladies like to go much crazy to the extent of shedding blood. Moreover you're a Prince, a hot cake to every lady." Osmond chuckled. "So, what are the other problems on my path?" He asked. "The next problem is the lady herself!" Osmond said. Prince Edward looked into his eyes. ** ** ** Nicholas drove on. He was almost there when his mobile phone beeped and took a glimpse at it. It was Nancy. He just curved his lips into a smile and picked up the phone and the call. "Nancy." He called as he pulled out of the track. "It wasn't funny, Nicholas. You just tried to play me, didn't you? Anyways, you have succeeded." "Just wait, Nancy! Why would I just lie to you? I was really coming. Do you know where I am presently?" He said trying to be more confident. "Where else but with Doris, Nicholas." He laughed quietly. One must not marry this one, she's just too jealous. He had thought. "I'm presently in the hospital, Nancy." "Ooh... Nick, what's the issue?" He knew the voice he just heard sounded as if she was shocked. He nodded and laughed quietly again. "I hit a motorcyclist while coming to meet you over there, sweetheart." "Ooh no, love. I'm really sorry, I never knew." The voice is sounding softer with a tone of pity he thought and just grinned. "Don't worry hon, I'll make it up to you." He said. "Where's the hospital, let me come over." "No, I'm fine." He said. "Alright, I'll call you later, then." She said and ended the call. The King himself! He hailed himself as he dropped the mobile phone and laughed out. He pulled back to the track and drove on, he was almost there. ** ** ** "She said she'll be here shortly." Craig told Doris as he walked into the interrogation room back. "Alright." She nodded. "But Frank, why are you after a married woman, why? You know she has given birth to a child already and you wish to kill the kid! I have nothing much to say, all thanks to The Unknown." Craig said, concluding with a hiss as he stood by his side. "I didn't feel if she's married or not, but from all indications, she's not married and that's why I want her!" He shouted. "I have always known criminals like you to be very mad. Don't worry, I'll treat your Bleep up very well." Craig replied him as he hit Frank's skull softly. Frank laughed. "I wish there was no one like The Unknown, a very mad guy that will soon be known." Doris chuckled. "Don't deviate from the actual topic. I know criminals like you, you wouldn't back down and I'll make that possible, even if it is to force you." Frank just laughed again. ** ** ** Nicholas parked some distance away from the building. He picked up his mask as he came down from the car, walking on to the building. As he got to the front of the gate, he still met the gate open. He wondered where the gate keeper was, but he was still in his small abode where Jerry had locked him up when he came to carry Henry. As he stepped into the house, he heard the voice of the gate keeper seeking for help and laughed within himself. He shut the door and walked in. At least it was a great oppurtunity for him to run an immaculate job that minute. He knew Ashley and Jerry might still be looking for him around and wouldn't think of coming back home while Beatrice his daughter would also be in the office, still working. As he heard the voice of the gate keeper, he knew it was Jerry and his men that had kept him there, so, the gate had been opened since Jerry came to carry Henry. And, if anyone was at home, the gate would have been shut and the gate keeper would have been freed too. He rushed inside the house. The first challenge was to search for Engineer's room. He had masked himself, incase there was a hidden camera inside the house. He smiled at his action, he knew he was smart. He began to search for Engineer's room. He wasn't there before, but he felt something would be significant about the room that would make him recognize it. As he opened the room, he met the place very neat and the picture of Engineer was nailed to the wall inside the room. He walked inside quickly and found some suitable places to keep the bugs he had brought. As soon as he completed that, he saw the drawer by the side of the bed and walked there again if he would see anything implicating inside it. ** ** ** "I just want you to kill any man you don't even recognize, don't spare anyone!" Engineer said to the guys in the car. "He won't, Engineer. He won't dare to come into your house too." "Just remember my daughter and her friend also live in the house, study their faces well during your stay there and don't do anything bad to them." He warned them. "We can't do that, Engineer." "Okay." He nodded. He was almost at home. ** ** ** |

Life is not measured by the number of your days, it is measured by the things you that you have done. →How many people have you made happy? →How many lives have you changed? →How many people have you talked to about God? See, money is not all, fame, wealth is not all, but we've got to know if we live 120 years on earth and have nothing to write home about and another lives 20 years with remarkable historiES and most especially makes heaven, that's the main thing. I just feel kinda sad when I remember Methuselah. That man live for 696 years and there's no account of anything good done by that man! How will someone live for that number of years and have nothing good inside the big picture? Live a life that when you die, people would know a RARE GEM is gone, not a type of comment that THANK GOD HE'S GONE or TO HELL WITH HIM. Imagine, if all these boko haram guys die today, how many people will cry? That is it! Do you know the hell fire that a person who slaughtered 100 Christians will go to is the hell a person who just lied would also go to? There's nothing like a small sin or even big one, they are the same before God. Please turn away from the sins, JESUS LOVES YOU! 2 Likes 1 Share |

EPISODE TWENTY He drove behind him slowly with the confidential diary beside him. He now knew what the diary was really meant for. He had found the names of the other four of the evil men left and had smiled. There were also some written facts about what happened the day Mr Gary and his wife were killed because of contract. Though, it was a good cradle of validation to the officers, but he must have another evidence to corroborate that the other men were involved in the mess. He had torn away the page where he wrote the names of his abettors and kept the diary back inside the brown envelope as he followed him. At least, if nothing else would unriddle the case, the diary was enough to tell the officers he was also part of those who killed the directors of Golden Ring Companies. It was his handwriting, the diary in question was also his own. He had been glimpsing at his buzzing phone. Nancy had been calling him, it seemed she had gotten to the eatery already and was awaiting his presence. He didn't want to tell her he wouldn't come again, at the same time, he didn't know the next thing to do. At least, saving Henry should be another precedence to him, he got him into the trouble. He monitored every move Engineer Ashley made as he followed him. He knew he was going to where Henry was locked up and would make sure he got Henry out of the confinement, no matter what. He finally switched off his phone if it would be a great source of distraction to him. He brought out his gun and kept it on the seat beside him as he kept trailing Engineer Ashley to where he was off to. He wouldn't back off, he had said. **** "I was slapped by the woman who I started working with, I was slapped." Vivian said to Anthony. Anthony gazed at her. "She slapped you? With her hands?" "What else would have been used to slap me? She used her heavy hand." Vivian replied. "At first, I wanted to criticize the fact that you just left your new place of work. But, that woman will suffer for all she has done." Anthony said. Vivian took a long look at him. Why had he been talking like an adult recently? "Who will deal with her to make her suffer?" "Mum, I will deal with her with my hands and bring evil people down like The Unknown." Vivian chuckled. "You never cease to amaze me. The Unknown who's wanted, you better don't be like him." "Mum, I don't care. I hate seeing people in tears, I hate seeing people suffer and always want to assist them. I hate it when you're left in a difficult situation, I can beat anyone who tries nonsense to death." "The actual way you did to Gregory and Frank when you were taken away, right?" "I feel The Unknown has given me a challenge to protect anyone I can and to hurt anyone who tries to hurt another person. If she tries to hurt you again, she will know I'm a fan of The Unknown." Vivian chortled. "But mum, will they finally catch The Unknown? I'm afraid because he's a good person.". "Anthony, I don't know too. I just pray for safety for us all." Anthony sighed. **** The diary. Prince Harry had been annoyed that his brother could get a woman to marry. But, why not just any woman? He just got himself hooked up to the woman he saved from trouble. He had been bothered as he hung his head beside the tree, on the way to the stream. Not quite long after, Katherine and her friends were passing with pots on their heads. He quickly stood up as he saw her. "Kate." He called her and she halted. "You can go." He waved at her friends as Katherine walked up to him. "My Prince." She bowed. "Katherine, didn't you see me on seat? By the way, what I need is your help. We need to talk." He smiled. "Talk? What help, my Prince?" She enquired. He helped her drop the pot of water on her head as he held her hand and both began to walk slowly. It seemed they were planning something as they walked on. Suddenly, the Prince laughed aloud. "Nice one." He shook Katherine. Something was going on between them. **** Ashley's car halted outside Jerry's place. He came down and looked back, if there was no one coming behind him. He saw no vehicle and clapped his hands together as he motioned closer to the building and knocked. Soon, Nicholas' vehicle parked some distance away and he came down, walking closer to Ashley's car. He saw Ashley as he entered into the building and the gate was shut. He rushed back to his own car and picked up his mask and pocketed his gun. He masked himself as he picked up a rope and put it in his pocket. He couldn't tell if that would be useful in there. He had also picked a sheet of his signature that he had folded in his pocket as he walked to the side of the building. It was an undeveloped area which had bushes around the house. It was surely a nice hermitage for criminals. He didn't know where exactly Henry was, he was just sure of his abduction into that house. The fence was rounded by the fence wire and that wouldn't be an easy task to solve that day, he had thought as he moved his hand near it and took if off again. One thing he was sure of was his bravery. He was ready to face any obstacle that would come his way during the operation. Even if he was killed, he preferred it to Henry being killed because of him. Though he was afraid and his heartbeats could be heard miles away, but he had to save Henry. Trying to avoid the blades of the wire, he jumped up but couldn't see much. It was by the side of the bush, so, he felt no one was available to see him. It was there he heard Engineer's voice, discussing with Jerry. It really wasn't easy for him to jump into the house. He let out a long breath as he stood akimbo, thinking of ways to get into that house. He didn't know where exactly that Henry was, by the way, what if Jerry's men were there looking after the place? What if it was in a room? He brought his phone out, switched it on and called Henry but his mobile number wasn't going through. He cleared his throat as he dipped the phone inside the pocket, used his gloves and mask. Then, he was no longer hearing the voice of Engineer Ashley and Jerry. It was his best time to enter into the house. He pressed his lips as he placed his two hands on he rigid fence and his legs against the fence. He moved up till he could place his left leg on the tip of the fence and could see the compound well. There was no one outside the compound. He tried to move his left leg on the other side of the fence but the blades on the wire hooked on to his trouser and made a cut on his skin. He gave a soft moan and exhaled deeply as he moved his left leg inside and twirled his body around, placing his right leg inside too. He was ready to go. He brought in his two hands and placed them on the tip of the fence as he released his body down. His legs almost touched the ground when he dropped. He released his hand and finally, he was in the compound. Is there any scaffolding here? He had thought as he hurried on to the generator house he could see at the end of the building. It was there he stopped. The generator house was small and built near the drainage of the house. He stepped into the dry drainage that started from there and went straight outside to the bigger drainage at the front of the house itself. There, he saw a small immurment structure and could hear voice there. He quickly returned himself back to the side of the generator house because he would be seen from where he had fast-tracked himself to. Breathing heavily, he was able to see the door that led to the small building through the partitions made inside the generator house. He wondered the kind of house they built for the generator that had partitions and openings. He saw Jerry and Engineer as they walked out of the small place and both kept laughing as they walked away through a door that led into the house. He could hear them laugh that Henry was still fast asleep. He made sure he didn't hear their voices and there was no movement around the small house any longer before he made his move back to the drainage and crawled inside it. Suddenly, he felt that wasn't useful since there was no one outside and he stood up to his feet, using the tip of his toes to walk until he got to the small house. There he turned his head and saw a window that was attached to the main building of the house. He could see the kitchen and the door that led to the dining room. He was hearing Jerry and Ashley's voices better. He removed the padlock that wasn't clenched and opened the door slowly. "Henry." He called softly and Henry opened his eyes. He knew it was only Nicholas that knew him as Henry, by the way, it was Nicholas' voice that he had heard. He sat up quickly as he looked at him. "How did you get here?" He quickly ask Nick. Nicholas crossed his hand on his lips. "We have to leave." He quickly said as he pulled him up. They both stormed out and Nicholas pushed him on till they got to the end of the fence. "Can you jump?" He asked Henry. Henry took a glimpse at him and put his hands on the fence as he jumped up and managed to jump to the other side admist the blades of the wire that had hurt his belly. Nicholas also placed his hands on the fence and jumped over. Just then, the two heard shouted from the house. "He escaped." "Hurry up." He smacked Henry as they both hopped into the Nicholas' car and sped away. Minutes later, they saw a Jeep shadowing them behind. **** -MINUTES LATER- "Was it The Unknown that came there?" Engineer Ashley asked Jerry that was driving his car as he seated beside him. "We don't know." Jerry said, holding a gun in his right hand as he drove on with his left hand. "It actually means that The Unknown and that Mike are connected, right?" "Engineer, we don't know yet. But, there's no way Mike would have left the place if someone didn't open the door, by the way, there's no way he would have left the vicinity quickly if there was no vehicle readymade for him. And, I guess you were trailed here." "Just hurry up, speed as fast as possible. This guy must not escape!" "We actually don't know what the fact is. My guy who went to the kitchen and met the door opened said he didn't see anyone, not even Mike, that's why I have told them to keep searching the vicinity of my house if anyone was there. We are not sure if he was carried by a car, that's why I brought up the idea of us just going on the way, who knows if we might see them this way?" "Jerry, I'm in a big problem if we don't recover this guy. That means he's been awake, no longer sleeping." "Just keep your fingers crossed." Jerry said. **** "I thought the Jeep has been after us, I never knew he was going on his own." Henry placed his hand on his chest. Nicholas smiled as he took off his mask and his gloves orderly because he as on the track. "Maybe someone saw the door to the place opened, I wonder how they got to know." "That's the only thing. But, how did you do everything? Nick!" "Henry, leave that one. We still have great missions to accomplish today." "Mission?" Henry looked at him. "I said missions. So, let's finish this tasks before gisting." "What are the tasks?" "We have to expose Engineer Ashley today." He said to him. "Expose? We don't have an evidence, Nick." "I already got the diary. Just play along, I'll explain everything to you after pulling all these stunts." "Alright." Henry nodded. **** Craig and Doris stood by the front of the office as the car dropped Frank. He had been discharged from the hospital because there was nothing wrong with him. He had been handcuffed already as he walked on with some officers. "Thanks officer Jefferson." Craig said to one of the officers with a smile as they led Frank to the interrogation room to ask him few questions about himself and if he knew anything about The Unknown. Frank sat down as he placed his hands on the table between himself and Doris with Craig. Then, the interrogation started from Craig. "What's your name?" He asked. "Frank Matthews." He replied. "Matthews." Doris repeated with a broad smile. "But you look gentler than you, trying to end a life of someone. Why did you want to kill Anthony?" "Is that the name of the boy?" Frank chuckled. Craig shrugged. "That's not the answer to the question asked, tell us why you wanted to kill the son of Mrs Priscilla." "Mrs Priscilla? Who's Mrs Priscilla?" He asked. Craig and Doris exchanged a close look. "You are acting here right?" Craig faced Frank again. "Did she call her name Mrs Priscilla? She's not Priscilla, officers." He stared at the two. Doris kept her eyes on him. "What's now her name?" She asked. "She's Vivian." Frank replied. Vivian? The name rung a bell to Doris. **** |

EPISODE NINETEEN ....that was a threat or what? He couldn't even tell if the guy was serious or not. But, that wasn't a joke at all. He moved closer, bending his head to look at his face properly. "You are Mike, aren't you?" He questioned. He shivered. "That's... that's my name." He replied. The guys all gave a wicked laughter as they walked round him. "Are you The Unknown?" One of them questioned. He dimmed his eyes. "I am not." He said slowly. "Why do you keep lying?" One of them hit the gun on his head and he fell. He was then unconscious and the guys left. **** "Anthony, do you think we should visit that officer?" Vivian asked Anthony as they walked in. "Officer Craig?" He questioned. "I think that's his name. But, would you want officers to catch The Unknown?" "No. He's not a bad person. He saved me from those guys and brought me to a safe place." He replied. "Do you know whatever you say about him will give them some hints to get him?" "I know. But, if we don't visit the officer, he might later come here himself." "He might? How sure are you?" "That man that kidnapped me knows this place and would bring him." Vivian smiled and turned her head as she heard knocks at the door. "I will be right back." She said to Anthony and walked out quickly. Flipping the gate open, it was someone she didn't expect. **** Lizzy barged into Beatrice's office. She had heard of her arrival back into the company and needed to know how her date with the Prince was. Moving closer, she could read that everything didn't go well at all. "What's wrong, Bibie?" She asked as she sat down and looked into her eyes. "Imagine that thing! Imagine that thing!" She repeated as she tilted her head, enraged already. Lizzy looked at her, wondering what was happening. "Who's the thing, Bibie?" She asked. "That idiot I took along with me. That useless P.A" she hissed aloud. "I can't laugh." Lizzy chuckled and looked away. "What's up with her?" "She caught Prince's attention. She's just stupid!" "Caught his attention? What did she really do? I can't comprehend you now." "Do I know if she winked at Edward? I just know that one started appreciating her beauty and was just staring at the fool." "So, where's she now?" She asked Beatrice. "She left angrily. That means she's no longer intrested in this job, that's all!" Lizzy chuckled again. "What are you now going to do about the Prince? Didn't he follow you?" "That's the most annoying aspect of the incident. He didn't even follow me, he didn't apologize at all. That Vivian can't steal him away from me, it isn't possible!" Lizzy grinned. "Are you being afraid that that thing will steal him away? Take your mind off that, she's just a wretched thing, nothing to worry about." Beatrice looked at her. "It will be better if it's left this way than adding salt to injury because I might just kill her!" Lizzy looked at her. "Kill? Beatrice, come off that." She stood up. "We'll leave for our lunch soon." Beatrice hissed. "I don't even know, I'm sick and tired of this!" "The prince was just playing around, don't worry." **** "Is this where you live?" Craig asked Vivian as she stood by the door, wondering what brought him and Doris. Vivian was still in shock. She was wondering how he got to know that was her place. At least, Frank wasn't with them, so, how come he got to know her house? "This is where I stay." She replied. Craig smiled. "This is actually a coincidence. I came with my colleague to check on Miss Matthias Victoria that lives in this house. We have been investigating on the perfume- Forever Mine and her house address stated here." Craig said. Vivian smiled. "Ooh.. she's gone to her place of work. In fact, I just returned back home with my son." "Okay... the lady that came with you that day was Victoria?" She nodded. "Yes." "That means you all use the perfume in this house, right?" Craig asked. "Yes, we all use it. By the way, she's usually the one to order for herself, myself and my son." "That's nice. But, can we kill a bird with two stones then? Can we come in and ask you and your son about these criminals now?" Vivian gave a long breath. **** Henry shook his head off. He had just been imagining since. He imagined the door breaking and the criminals coming in. He had no helper right there and felt his end had came. What if all his imaginations really come true? What if he was just killed by those evil guys? His heartbeat raced faster again as he quickly dialed Nicholas mobile number. "Nick." He said as he jacked his head left and right, who could say if the guys were around? "Henry, what's happening?" "Engineer Ashley suspected me and I have been kidnapped by his men." He quickly said. "You have been kidnapped? Where are you right now?" "I don't even know, Nicholas. I can't tell exactly because I wasn't myself till I got here. The guys even thought I am unconscious presently, please help me." "That's a tedious task. Don't worry, I'll come over to assist you, Henry." He ended the call. Henry breathed faster as he dipped the mobile phone into his pocket quickly as laid on the floor as if he was still unconscious. **** "Please take your seats." Vivian said to Doris and Craig as she took them in. They sat down. "How are you now, Anthony?" Criag enquired from him. "I'm fine, Sir." He replied almost instantaneously. Craig smiled. "So, you said you never saw his face, did you?" Anthony looked at Vivian before looking back at Craig and Doris. "I didn't see his face because he was masked." "What did the guys really do to you?" "I was beaten, they were about to shoot me when I heard another gunshot and Mr Gregory fell down." "Gregory? You know his name?" He squinted his face with a smile. "I heard his friend call him Gregory. It was The Unknown that saved me from them and brought them to the station." "Did you perceive the your scent on The Unknown? I mean did you notice you two using the same perfume?" Doris cut in with her question. "No. I don't think so." "That means you can't identify this criminal if you see him?" Doris asked. "What do you mean?" Anthony questioned them. Doris and Craig looked at each other and back at him. "Yes, can you recognize this criminal?" "You are getting it wrong." Anthony stood up. "The Unknown is not a criminal and I am sure you know it." Craig chuckled. "He looks like he's not a criminal because he saved your life, what of the person he shot by the leg? Is it right for someone to shoot another?" "That means you wouldn't have shot him if you were the one, right?" Craig kept quiet as he kept looking at him. "If he didn't shoot, I might have been shot by the guys that day, if he didn't come around, you won't be questioning me today because I would have died. The Unknown is not a bad person and doesn't worth that word- criminal." Doris and Craig looked at each other. They began to wonder how he could talk in that manner. He was smart and wise. "Anthony, you won't understand." Craig said. "You are actually the one who's not understanding me. If he didn't come around, I would have died. My mothers and I also listened to the news and we heard that this same man handed Chief Sam over to you, what if he killed him himself? Or, did you ever know Chief Sam killed some people?" "Anthony, enough!" Vivian said from her seat. "I'm sorry, officers. But, he's just talking the way his feelings are." Craig and Doris smiled faintly and nodded. "I hope you'd still visit us if we need to know any other thing?" Craig asked. "Sure, officers." Vivian nodded. "Thanks." Doris and Craig stood up, ready to leave. **** Nicholas stepped into his vehicle. He didn't even know how to go about it. He needed the 'Confidential' diary with Engineer Ashley and needed to get Henry out of the problem he had gotten him into. He knew all was his fault, not Henry. He sped on and his car screeched to halt at Della Companies. He came down from the vehicle and kept his eyes unblinking from the company for minutes, thinking of the best thing to do. He wanted to go in, but, he didn't want Nancy to know about his mission there again. He finally found a way to get his obstacle out of the way. He picked his mobile phone and called her. "Please meet me at Stephanie's Kitchen, we have to talk." He said to her. "Alright." Nancy who was in love replied happily. He had parked his car in an unnoticeable place and could see everyone coming in or going out of the company. As soon as he saw her walk out of the company, he got set to hurry into the company. As Nancy entered into a cab, Nicholas rushed to the company and demanded to see Engineer Ashley. He was directed to the Secretaries' office. He hurried there with a smile and greeted the secretaries. "Please, I am Frank and I want to see Engineer Ashley." He smiled. He was directed to his office as soon as Engineer Ashley gave them the go-ahead to let him in. Thank God Nancy didn't tell the colleagues she was going to meet Nicholas, they'd have suspected. It was only one of them that knew his face well, others couldn't recognize him again. He hurried to his office and stood by the door as he eavesdropped the conversations between Engineer Ashley and his guy, Jerry. He was sure they have suspected him. He didn't even know how to go about it, he just felt all would be well. He knocked. "Come in." Engineer said and ended his call with Jerry quickly. Nicholas walked in. **** "Anthony, that was brilliant of you, absolutely brilliant." Vivian grinned as she walked inside the house again. She had gone to lock up the gate and was pleased with Anthony. Anthony smiled. "I'm happy, Mum." "I'm happier. At least we have told them to reality and I could see it in them that they were hit by all you said." Anthony grinned. "They still need to know more, they have been on the wrong path, treating the wrong thing. "That's true. So, what will you eat?" "But Mum, did you quit your new job again?" Anthony asked her. She kept her lips sealed as both stared at each other. **** "Good day, Sir." Nicholas grinned as he walked in. "Welcome, Frank. Are you not the one sent by Bentley Group Of Companies to get the designs from me?" Engineer Ashley asked Nicholas. "Yes Sir, I am." He lied quickly as he grinned. "Sorry, I had to rush home to pick it up." He said as he checked his table and couldn't find it. "Alright, let me get it in my car." He said as hurried up. "Alright, Sir." Nicholas bowed. Ashley rushed out to get the design plans he went home to pick earlier. Then, Nicholas walked to his table and checked for the Confidential diary. He knew he would definitely bring that one out of his car. He saw it and picked one of the big brown envelopes on the ground. He tucked it in and sat quickly, putting it on his laps. He had thought that if he kept it, then, he might suspect him. Soon, he came in with the plans and gave it to him. "Greet the Director for me." He smiled as he gave Nicholas. "Yes sir." He collected them and walked out quickly. If a man isn't a fool, why didn't he ask me to follow him and collect it downstairs?Nicholas had thought as he smiled and rushed away. At least, he didn't suspect that he wasn't with an envelope earlier and now with an envelope. "Foolish man." He muttered as he walked out of the Secretaries' offoce and saw a man in suite. He halted as he called him. "Please, aren't you the one from Bentley Group Of Companies?" He asked. The man moved closer to him with a grin. "Yes." Nicholas felt fulfilled. "Engineer told me to give you this and that you should greet the Director." He handed the plans over to him. "Thanks so much, God bless you." The man collected the plans and walked on while Nicholas walked behind him. "Bunch of fools." He thought within himself as he waved at the security men and rushed back to his car. He sat down inside the car. He had promised not to leave the place until he saw Engineer's car come out of the company so he could trail him to where Henry was. He felt that was the only solution to the problem. Before then, he opened the diary and began to read from it. **** It was fifteen minutes later. Engineer Ashley walked out. As he moved his car, Nicholas followed him. |

We talked about CHRIST THE KING today. Although, I didn't comprehend what the Priest taught, I was damn tired! I just remember him talking about Jeremiah 18, Exodus 15 too and told us if Nigeria would be good, each of us must make Christ our King. That's all I can remember... Lol.! |

CHAPTER FOUR. A WONDERFUL DREAM. WRITTEN BY TEMITOPE DANIEL Zainab was presently in her car, following the cab Rimi had taken and it seemed they were en route to her late father's store. The place was deserted now, the banks had claimed the building, intending to sell it to cover her father's debts. So far they hadn't been successful, the place had been left to gather dust now. Rimi would be in for a shocker when he got there, Zainab thought glancing at her handbag sitting on the floor of the passenger seat. In it was a gun that had belonged to her father, it would be her parting gift to him, confused or not. She marched on the accelerator and cleared the short distance between her car and the cab Rimi was in. She looked so exasperated and her mind was already inured to killing Rimi. She had been nodding her head, thinking Rimi's look was just to make her think he was confused, but to her, she felt that was just cooked up. She would definitely end his story like he ended that of her dear father. She was indurated and wouldn't back off that minute. She didn't know when the tears rolled down her cheeks when she remembered how the news was told to her. She just left the ward of a young man who was suffering from Nephritis that day when her phone buzzed and she heard an officer's voice. As a nurse which she was then, in one of the mightiest hospitals in Lamuti, she had been checking on the man every hour and decided to rest when she got the bombshell. She instantly lost control. Her dear father, dead? She kept wondering as she slumped and was rushed up by fellow nurses that were on duty. Though, she was a rich man's daughter, she just liked to practice what she felt was her dream. She liked nurses and had always said she would become a nurse in a mighty hospital. After she got the job, the disaster followed. The other nurses were running helter and skelter to help her out of her problem. One of them quickly made a mouth-to-mouth respiration on her as she was carried to a ward and laid on the bed. It was such an indelible experience to her. She wished she could just force the tears back, but she just kept crying as she remembered that. She did call him her dear father and to her father, she was his darling daughter. "You won't get away with this." She breathed heavily as she kept her eyes on the vehicle and they kept going. "No one else will get you but me, I'll surely annihilate your life." **** Rimi was in the cab too, still remembering how everything went that night again. He remembered Tonia's words again “Rimi, please get down to my office...I don’t know what to do.... there’s something going on.... There are some people here .....Please hurry!” He felt so sad, he was full of angish as his mind struck the black metal capped shoes too. There were his! He clapped his hands together and quickly took a look at other passengers to know if he wasn't causing a scene in the car, since that had been much of him since him since he left Kalakuta Prison. He noticed no one was looking at him and was downcast. He couldn't stop thinking till he remembered the star gold pendant. It was the pendant he was taking a look at when he was hit from behind. He was thinking of getting the pendant for Tonia, he never knew Tonia was the one who had set him up. He sobbed quietly as he raised his head slowly when the car halted. He paid the cab driver and came down from the vehicle. He saw the tall building and remembered how he got down from a cab that day, jogging till he got to the front of the building. He walked closer to the building and pressed the handle of the door, it was locked. He walked around and to the back of the building, still wondering why Tonia and Uche could have done that to him. He never did anything bad, why would they have gotten him into that trouble? He almost started crying again when he turned around and met Zainab behind her. She was pointing the gun at him. She was savage and on her mettle. He shivered. That was the lady he just saw, she was the one! He looked at her closely as his mouth was opened in shock and his two hands were raised up. He could see Zainab crying as she pointed the gun at him, breathing heavily. "You... you killed my father... you killed my dear Dad, you killed Mr Adamu.." "No.. please.." Rimi continued shivering as tears dropped down his cheeks. "I didn't kill anyone, I.. I .. I actually don't know... I don't know anything.." He stuttered. "You took everything away from us, you took my father's wealth and killed him.. I know you're not who you have painted yourself. You killed.. my fa.." she kept weeping. "Please.. it was Uche.. it was Uche and Tonia, I was set up.. believe me.. please, I never killed.. I didn't kill your father.. I should be able to lead you to where they can be.." Is he saying the truth? He had been so sad since he got here, he's been wondering where he had seen this pendant before, is he really amnesiac? She had thought as she moved closer to him. She had hardened her heart like an iron, she felt he was just lying to her. "It was Tonia. She called me and told me there was a problem, I was put in the dark, I never knew they had planned, the two were the ones that robbed.. I was hit by my best friend.. please, I know nothing." He couldn't stop crying. He was just imagining her pulling the trigger, he remembered how the rapist was being electrocuted in Kalakuta Prison, none of the deaths was preferable. "Believe me, please." He wept. Zainab felt for him. She could see his reaction too. If he really stole, why was he met inside the room? She shook her head again in disbelief. What if he just came with his accomplices and he was betrayed? She had thought again. "Please... I was called by Tonia to come and rescue her from some people when I was bashed from behind, I know nothing.." Zainab tried to stop her tears but it got so laborious for her to do. She didn't feel well at all. Could Rimi be telling her what really happened? She had no real answer yet. Still swallowing hard, her index finger that was shaking unremmentingly pulled the trigger accidentally and the gun went off. Rimi fell to the ground at once. **** As Antonia would always say, whoever said that money can't buy happiness, simply didn't know where to go shopping. She liked it when she looked perfectly dressed up like she presently was, dressed in a way everyone who passed her side would have to take a second look. She believed after getting rich, one should always look distinguished. She walked in front of Uche, clad in a yellow dress with thin spaghetti straps. The dress looked so beautiful on her dark, milky skin, with faint bands that went down accross her bre*sts, giving it an alluring look. Uche hurried and helped Tonia bring out a tucked-in chair. "Sit, My Princess." He said with a smile. Tonia loved it whenever he called her his princess. She would wonder if she really looked like one, or Uche was just trying to impress her. He wouldn't, why would he even wheedle her? She knew he really loved her so much and wouldn't tease her at all. Though, it'd been a while he called her his Princess, but it seemed he was just getting too ecstatic concerning his unborn baby. She sat slowly as she pulled down the tip of her gown. The hem of the gown just stopped short off her knees and had a chiffon skirting, gentle frills descending from the band. She wore big flaxen earrings and tawry wedge shoes. She was really beautiful, just as if an angel wore them. Uche took in a long breath as he sat down on the sheer slipcovers chair which was on other side of the round pedestal based table. "I know you feel so happy that you'd be father soon." She winked. He chuckled. "I'm just happy that I'll soon be shouting at a kid to sit down there! Come here! and many more." Both laughed. "Anyways, I'm happy this is happening. It's over two years now that we moved in, but now, God is working." "Just tell me what you'd love to eat and drink, Uche is here to do the needful." "Menu, please." Tonia protracted her hand at the waiter and ordered for the two of them on seat. "We should have a toast." Uche stroke his beard. Tonia grinned as she shrugged. "That's another thing. I just feel I'm now complete." "Don't you know that after sending an enemy to a place of no return, getting all we want, we should be left with unlimited enjoyment like this." "I've been thinking of the name to give to the child. If he's a boy, I'll name him Raymond or Richard." "No! We won't name him any name that has 'R' at the beginning. I don't want my son to be as dull as Rimi." He chuckled. Tonia laughed. "Alright, no problem. I think people whose names start with letter R are usually like Rimi, dull and brainless." They both laughed as the waiter came around and served them. **** Zainab was so shocked. She didn't mean to shoot Rimi at all. The gun dropped from her hand instanter as she rushed closer to him, now shivering more. "Rimi.." She called his name as she looked into his eyes and could still feel his pulse. He was still alive. The gun just grazed his arm and the wound was nothing much. Notwithstanding, she felt pity as Rimi started weeping again. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry.." She kept saying as she helped him up. The pitch of Rimi's voice had dropped down as he still managed to speak admist the pain. "I didn't kill anyone, I was... framed up." He said and breathed as if he just accomplished a big task. "Don't say anything, it will tire you out and don't worry, I'll help you out." She looked into his eyes and helped him to her car. She kept taking a short look at him till she got back to the track. "We can't visit the hospital, it's dangerous." Rimi told her. "Yes, I know. I'm taking you to my house for treatment." She replied him. Rimi took a close look at her. "Treatment?" "Yes. I was once nurse before being a bank manager." She said and sped on. Rimi thanked his goodness. As he was shot, he thought he was dead already. He never knew Zainab was that caring, he could see it in her eyes. He prayed something better would happen next, if not, he could just die of the pains he had been enduring for two years. But, he still couldn't stop remembering Tonia and Uche. He would definitely get them, he had thought. "Hope you're okay?" Zainab looked at him. He smiled faintly. "I'm fine, thanks." "I'm really sorry about this, we'll get home soon." She seemed to be calm now. "Thanks." Rimi replied, holding on to his arm. **** Officer Caleb walked into his living room. He wondered why the door wasn't locked. He just hissed, that was too minute to wonder on, unlike all he heard Rimi say to Zainab. He made sure he shadowed him to Adam's Pearls to know if he would actually remember anything. It was a big shock seeing Zainab point the gun at Rimi. Had thought that it was just a mere threat, she only wanted to know the other accomplices. Though, he was very impatient from where he stood. He felt like approaching Zainab to stop all that she was doing, but he had the belief that she wouldn't shoot Rimi. He wanted to rush to them when he heard the gunshot, but he felt something kept pulling him back. He had heard the names- Uche and Tonia and glad that Rimi said he would take her to where he thought they might be. It was such a big relief when he saw Rimi still alive. The bullet had just grazed his arm and hadn't left a serious wound to worry about. He made sure he followed them to Zainab's house before turning back. At least he knew where he was already. But, something was still getting him confused. He remembered he saw Kassim as he walked out of the eatery to continue trailing Rimi, both also saw each other while he was in hiding, watching Zainab and Rimi. As he was leaving Zainab's place, he saw Kassim's back view again and remembered that he had seen the same person twice already. Why is he after him? He wondered, squinting his face. Just then, Evelyn walked into the living room and thudded down the sofa. Caleb just looked at her briefly, probably wondering why she came to the living room and did as if she didn't see him. For days, he'd trying to know what the problem was but she never answered him. He was a caring and responsible husband to her and couldn't remember ever doing something wrong to her. Why did she change all of a sudden? He sighed as he stood up. "If you won't greet me, I'm going to greet you. By the way, I'm really hungry, what can I eat?" "Your food is on the dining table." Evelyn replied him without even looking at him. Caleb just walked to the dining table and sat down. He was hungry already and couldn't eat in the restaurant he shadowed Rimi to, maybe because he felt the food might be a source of distraction. The drink was a better choice. Even if Evelyn wouldn't be free with him, he thought she should just prepare him delicious meals. He opened the covered plate and met it empty. His eyes widened as he whisked to his feet. "What on earth is wrong with this woman?" He muttered under his breath as he walked to the living room. "Evelyn, what's the meaning of this nonsense?" "I will keep on doing that if it will take you ten years to get a criminal!" Evelyn brushed to her feet too. "What are you talking about? Why have you been like this?" "I won't change my ways until you get that criminal. It's two years already, I have been expecting you to lift the trophy that you've gotten the criminals, you always keep coming home with various excuses. I m fed up!" She blustered. She had been a serious nagger over years and did henspeck him to get Rimi and his accomplices so that he would be promoted. She had slowly developed into a problematic wife because of Rimi's case. "Woman, I am trying my best!" "Your best is not enough, Caleb! If you have been promoted last year, don't you know you should be receiving a double salary already?" "But we still live, we haven't died, have we? What if these criminals didn't commit this crime, what would you have done?" "At least, they have committed the crime already. You keep telling me amnesia, I need to look good too, I need to make hairstyles in vogue, I need to Behind up too!" Caleb chuckled. "You this woman, I have always given you all you've always wanted. At least I gave you the money to make this hairstyle on this head of yours some weeks back, you always look good, what else?" "I want to make another hairstyle. Infact, the one in vogue." Caleb dipped his hand into the pocket and brought out some money. "This is ten thousand naira, get another hairstyle done. So, I want my food." "What are you talking about? I want to make Brazilian hairstyle not any rubbish." "So? Even if it leaves Brazil and it travels to Togo, I have given you the money already." "Why are you playing around, Caleb? This is not even up to the amount I'll use to get the weavon now." "Woman, name your price, How much!" He clapped his hands together as he brought out the remaining 'change' in his pocket. "Original weavon that will make you keep admiring me is One Hundred and fifty thousand naira." Caleb's eyes jacked up, it seemed he didn't hear her very well. **** RIMI. Zainab has extracted the bullet from my skin already and everything was getting better. When last did a soft and gentle hand touch my skin? I don't think there's such thing in Kalakuta Prison. That place is just a portion of hell fire on earth. Even though I was feeling the pain as she helped me remove the bullet, I was still concerned about her soft hands. I raised my head slowly and my eyes caught her pretty face. She was tall, light and blessed with glabrous skin. I don't even know where she had been all the while I was running after Tonia. I think imagining her beauty is making my heart feel lighter because I have been overwhelmed with the thought of Uche and Tonia earlier. For her to have rescued me from death and still sit by my side, I think she now believes I am not part of the evil clique. I just keep glimpsing at her and taking my eyes off her quickly so that she wouldn't suspect me. I have done that severally till I slept off. I now believe that whatever you keep thinking of, before you sleep might be the one you will dream of, while sleeping. I saw myself already dancing with Zainab in my dream, we went to cinemas and walked hand-in-hand together. As we walked on, I wanted to talk to her and moved my right hand closer to her shoulder. I never knew I was truly moving my right hand in real sense until I felt that my hand landed on a soft place and I opened my eyes quickly from my dream. My hand as already on her shoulder. ** ** END OF CH.4 |
