“Check every inch of this place! They
wouldn’t have left by now!” He ordered and
all the hefty men stormed into the almost
deserted building, slamming doors and
shouting.

Tobi noticed a bus at the back of the
building, and gestured quietly for two men to
follow him. He held a pistol in his hand,
although he had never held one before, talk
less of shooting at someone, but at that
moment, he knew exactly what he was
doing.

He crept to the back of the building, going
slowly to the bus. His eyes widened when
he saw Abena, but before he could do
anything, the bus started to move.
A sudden burst of adrenaline came through
his veins and he chased the bus, as fast as
he could, screaming in frustration because
he wasn’t fast enough. He stopped,
sweating profusely, and bent down, hands on
his knees.

The men behind him started to shoot at the
bus. “What are you idiots doing?” He roared
at them, running back and grabbing one by
his collar.

“She’s inside the bus you bloody idiot! Are
you trying to bring her back to me dead?”
He shouted and pushed the man forcefully,
causing the man to stumble back in fear.
“Search that building! There has to be a
clue, just one clue. Get me something, all of
you, now!”

They all scurried away into the building,
while Tobi walked back to his car. He
opened the door and sat beside Joseph, who
looked very uncomfortable with his cast in
the car.

“I lost her. I saw her, but they were already
moving and…”

“Well there has to be something in that
building that would tell us where they’re
going. Stop seating here sad, when you can
be inside there, tearing that place apart. I
know it’s not easy, you’re running out of
your mind right now. But you’re going to
have to be in your right mind, or you won’t
find her. Think like Tobi Ademi.”
Tobi nodded, knowing his friend was right.
He reached for his friends chair and reclined
the seat. “Thanks man.” Joseph smiled.
“Now go get something tangible and stop
being such a p---y.”

Tobi charged back to the building with
determination.

“Well, anything?” He barked at the men who
were tearing the place apart. They shuffled
through papers, documents and hacked into
the computers.

“Sir. We found this man hiding at the back
of the building.”
They dragged a wiry looking man towards
Tobi. His eyes were wide with fear, and he
already had a busted lip. There was a tag
on his shirt that read, ‘Manager’.
Tobi gave a sinister smirk. There was not a
merciful bone in him anymore. He gestured
for them to strap him into a seat, while he
twirled his pistol on his finger.
He was ready to do whatever it would take.
“Why don’t you take a seat while you and I
have a chat about where you took my girl
to?”

…
Abena sobbed quietly at the back of the
bus, while trying to remove the chain that
gripped tightly to her ankle.
She had untangled it, and all that was left to
do, was to unhook it from her ankle. She
was bending down, much to her discomfort,
tugging at the chain gently, to prevent
anyone from hearing her. She was starving,
and it was eating her up inside. It made her
even angrier.

A hungry pregnant woman was not to be
messed with.

They had been driving for hours, and finally
pulled up into a filling station. No one looked
at them suspiciously, the brand of the
modelling house was on the bus, and most
of the women were sleeping.
