Must Read: Circle Of Three - Season 1 - Episode 19

“What is happening there?” Cassie said, quite
alarmed. Courage could see her face as NEPA
had restored power supply.
“THEY ARE CHASING ME, CASSIE, PLEASE
HELP!!!” Comfort was shouting.
“Comfort, calm down a bit, where are you
now?”
“I am at Road One, please do something, I can’t
run for too long”….. the phone cracked and
stopped working.
“Ah! Jesu! Not now now!” Comfort said
agonizingly as she kept running, even as her
feet were weary.
“What is happening? Cassie talk to me!”
Courage asked, borrowing some worry from
Cassie, who was pacing around the room.
“Comfort is in trouble! Some men are chasing
her, she said that they want to r@pe her.”
“In OAU?! Aha, how possible is that?”
“SHE JUST CALLED ME NOW! I don’t even know
what to do?”
“Where is she?”
“She said she is at Road One.”
“Okay, lets be going.”
“Going where?”
“We are going to Road One.”
Comfort’s legs were already failing her. Yet by
willpower, even though she was slow, she had
gotten to Local Government. Understandably,
Her attackers were faster and they soon got
her.
“Please, Please, I use God beg you, leave me
alone… Please.” She said amidst tears.They
were beginning to shout and scream, Making all
sorts of scary noises to her.
“See, You have two choices. Either we have our
way with you and you enjoy us, One of them
said, licking his lips, Or we enjoy ourselves
without you. Do you understand.”
“See Four of us, Conji dey hook up wella, and
We go use you step-down.” Another brute said
as he tried to kiss her. Comfort allowed him
scarily and then bit his tongue as he directed it
to her mouth, causing him to withdraw and cry
out in pain. A slap came from one end and
another slap followed, all directed to her. She
cowered a bit as her dress was beginning to be
manhandled by the men.
“Cassie, lets be going.” Courage said as she
dialed someone.
“Samson! How far? Abeg some guys are after
my friend at Road One, I need una help.” “You
dey near? Thank you jare, I dey come now.”

She dropped the call and picked up a knife.

Cassie herself had ended her minor weeping
session and was carrying a brave look.
“Oya, am going to the Mai-guard first.” She
said.

On getting there, they tried to get the man to
follow them, e refused, citing the fact that his
job ended at his post. It was until Cassi seized
his gun and Courage threatened to report him
to his superiors that was when the lazy man
followed them.

Comfort was in tears as they had ripped her
cloth. What was stopping them from r@ping
her was the fact that they were arguing
amongst themselves who will go in first, as se
was too weak to resist. Tunji decided to start, as
their masks hid their faces. He was about to
start her ordeal when he heard someone
shouting at them.
“Stop!”
They turned round o see a man with two ladies
approaching them. As they tried to run, he shot
at them, striking two down.

The other two ran, only to collide with the stern
face of Samson and the whole Student
Community.

As they were apprehended, Students started
delivering the usual slaps, while they matched
to where Cassie and Co were.

Courage and Cassie were the first to meet
Comfort,Cassie quickly giving her a gown to
wear. As she wore the cloth to cover her
unclothedness, Courage and the mai-guard
went to the shot men, who could not run out of
pain. Courage removed the mask off one of
them and gasped for surprise, prompting the
guard to ask if she knew him.

She called out to Comfort, who walked quickly
to the scene as the second shot guy tried to
run again. Before anyone could say stop,
Courage charged at the guy and delivered two
straight hooks, which brought the guy to his
knees as pain set in.

Comfort, meanwhile reached the place and
immediately identified the unmasked man,
delivering a slap and went on a search for a
stick, leaving the guard bewildered.
“Who be this man?” He shouted,which made
Cassie to look. Lo and behold, it was Tunde!
“Na her boyfriend.” Cassie responded, pointing
to Comfort who found a stick and stone and
immediately stoned him, Causing him to yelp
out in pain.
“You! You!! You are an animal, Anuofia!”
Comfort spat out as she started to exert her
anger, frustration and surprise at an injured
Tunji.
“Tunji,You!” she kept saying, beating him with
the stick, which was barbed at the receiving
end, until the guard held her and dragged her
away.

Samson and Co soon met them and dragged
the two culprits away, students singing and
beating them, with Comfort, Courage and
Cassie following. After moving some distance
with them, the three girls walked back to
Maintenance.

When they got to their rooms, Comfort
immediately went for her bed, the night already
tiring for her. Since it was still lecture free week,
Cassie and Courage decided to leave her alone
and go to bed too.

The next day, Courage woke up first, quickly
followed by Cassie and Comfort. They stared at
each other, then the ground as they
remembered the previous night.
“Cassie thank you.” Comfort said, little tears
coming out of her emotion-laden face.
“Its okay.” Cassie said, hugging her as tears
flowed anew.
“I was scared, very scared. I could not imagine
what could have happened.” Comfort kept
saying.
“Comfort, take it easy, let’s thank God you were
not r@ped, because it is tough.” Courage said.
“What do you know about r@pe, Reverend
Sister?” Comfort shot out, surprising both
Cassie and Courage,” I was a second from being
r@ped and this is all you have to say?”
“For you information, I have been r@ped
before, so I can speaking from experience.”

Courage said
