AT THE POLICE STATION 7:00PM
:
Nobody believed that someone like
Sandra could take the life of her
fellow girl. For what reason? The
police, Mrs Williams and others were
about to find out. They could see
Sandra and Mike sitting on the floor
with handcolfs.
"What's Mike doing here?" Faith
murmured.
"Mike!" Ernest called out. "What are
you doing here?"
"I'm innocent oh" Mike began. "I was
on my own and they carried me!"
he cried.
Hearing that, Sandra disdained him.
Nobody talked to him again coz he
was a suspect.
"I never knew you are so evil!" Mrs
Williams said glaring at Sandra.
"What did my daughter do to you
that you wanted to take her life?"
The question made everywhere
calm down coz all wanted to hear
her out but Sandra kept quiet. She
knew that even if she talks, she
would still die coz her life span
remained few hours.
"Speak!" a policeman shouted and hit
her with the head of a gun but
Sandra remained mute. The officer
looked at Mike. "What relationship do
you have with her and what do you
know?" he asked.
"She's just my friend. I don't know
anything oh" Mike replied.
"You don't want to say the truth" the
officer wanted to hit him too but Mrs
Williams prevented him.
"Retain them and make them speak
before they are taken to court" she
said then walked out followed by
others.

10: 42pm
Darkness had taken over the
atmosphere, yet David had not
returned. Where has he gone to?
Ugonma and her parents became
restless. They were outside the
house hopping that David would
come back. Already, the father had
been boiling in anger. He wore a
trouser without a singlet coz the
weather was hot. His hands rested
on his waist. The wife sat on the
pavement likewife Ugonma. She
was already shedding unseen tears.
"I said it, but nobody believed me.
David won't come back again"
Ugonma said.
"Where has my only son gone to?"
Mrs Robinson cried. "Please, Nnayi,
go look for my son oh! Better go
look for him coz you caused it"
"How am i the cause?!" the husband
glared at her.
"Aren't you the one that threaten to
deal with him if truly he's
responsible for that stupid girl's
pregnancy"
"Nonsense!" Mr Robinson looked at
Ugonma. "Call anybody in his school
to know whether he's there" he
instructed. Instantly, Ugonma
rushed inside. She had nobody's
number but Udoka.
***
Mrs Williams and Monica were in the
hospital waiting for when Udoka
would wake up. They sat opposite
each other in a way Udoka's bed
was in between. The room
illuminated by white light bulbs
thereby making all things vivid.
Suddenly, Udoka cell phone rang
and Monica picked it.
"Hello, it's Ugonma, David's sister. I
want to ask if David is in school"
"I'm not in school. Though i will
confirm and get back to you" Monica
replied.
"How is Udoka's hel.." Ugonma
wanted to ask but Monica hung up
the call. She called Ernest to confirm
if David was in school but the
answer proved negative. She also
called Ugonma and told her that
David wasn't it school. After the call,
she glanced at her wrist watch:
11:00pm.
"What's going on?" the mother
asked.
"Is like David is missing. He's
nowhere to be found" Monica
replied.
"Missing? I guess he's running away
from his responsibilities" Mrs
Williams concluded.
***
At midnight, Sandra began to shed
tears remembering the past. Yes,
she was a hard working and
determined girl. She could
remember how she promised her
father to be responsible and obtain a
PhD in law. Now, she's inside cell
ready to die at any moment. She
was alone inside the cell regarding
her gender, while Mike stayed in the
male cell.
Very early in the morning, Sandra
summoned everybody in the police
station; Mr Caleb, her father, Mrs
Williams, Mr and Mrs Robinson,
Ugonma, Monica and friends. Only
David and Udoka were absent. They
all gathered around Sandra who laid
on the floor shedding tears and
breathing slowly.
"I'm sorry, papa" she began. "My
time has come due to what i caused
with my hands. I was a Runs girl
but fell inlove with David who didn't
reciprocate it due to the love he has
for Udoka. I gave Mike, his best
friend, a charm to poison him so
that he would develop hatrate for
Udoka.."
"My goodness!" Mr Robinson
exclaimed and looked at his wife
who was covered with shame.
"I am also the one who wanted to
kill Udoka" Sandra added then Adaku
and Faith opened their mouth
surprisingly while Mrs Williams and
Monica glared at her.
"I got the charm from the dark
forest of Ikuku who told me that if i
don't kill Udoka in three days I'll die.
Please, tell Udoka and David to
forgive me. I love you papa" Sandra
concluded and took her last breath.
It was known to everybody that
David had been acting with the
influence of the charm. Knowing
that, Ugonma began to shed tears.
"I told you, Dad. Now, David is
nowhere to be found" she said.
Mrs Williams couldn't bear the pains
so she walked out followed by
Adaku..
