The Hole in The Wall - Season 1 - Episode 56

::::::::::::::::::

Have you ever felt a kind of pain that was too painful you didn’t feel it again? As in, it was too much for your senses and your brain to fathom that you stopped responding to stimuli completely?

Maybe the spot became numb or maybe it was the brain that froze but the only option was to black out because the pain was incomprehensible. That was how I felt when i opened my eyes or eye rather…since one was swollen shut. The ceiling looked far away and white like the clouds and for a split second I wondered how there got to be spider webs in the clouds.

But then I remembered what happened, remembered the pain and I tried to sit up but I couldn’t even move my neck. My head was too damn heavy.

I tried to run a check list of my injured body parts but my brain was still too fuzzy. Suddenly I remembered my flight, remembered the reason I was rushing to Benue. Emma!

I had to head for the airport immediately! As soon as I could control my joints.

Someone groaned in pain to my right and I managed to turn my head until I could see the source. It was Bami, his head was rapped in bandages and resembled a sultan’s turban and I wondered if that was my case too. I tried to call out his name but I could not speak. My throat hurt too much not to talk of my chest and abdomen.

What was the time…I had to get to the airport…I couldn’t miss my flight. With great effort I managed to lift my body few inches off the bed but the pain that shot through my body was unbelievable. I blacked out again before my body touched the bed.

Tonye couldn’t believe the agency had dealt with Rex and Bami in such a gruesome manner. She stood between the twin beds dumbfounded as she looked from one unconscious man to another. Both faces were puffy and purple, eyes swollen shut, nose crooked and lips split open. She felt the anger boil her blood as she imagined the pain they had gone through and were still going through right now.

She left the room with fire in her eyes and ran into the doctor in the hallway. He was talking to the detective and as Tonye approached she heard him say “…..two fractured ribs and a dislocated shoulder….its crazy that exactly the same damage was done to the both of them. This attack was carried out with precision. whoever the assailant was he had all the time in the world….I better go check on them”
“thank you doctor”
The doctor smiled sympathetically at Tonye as he hurried to the ward.
