The Unseen World - Season 1 - Episode 2

” Francis please believe me, I didn’t know how this..” He tried explaining things to Francis that night. ” Hey bro, you don’t expect me to believe you could do that, I trust you, there is someone that want to implicate you” Francis replied him but Gabriel still had a doubtful look on his face. ” Gabriel trust me, what happened today will remain a secret between myself and you” Francis said again as he patted Gabriel’s shoulder and smiled. Gabriel nodded his head and bent down in a corner of his lab, even if this was to happen, it shouldn’t happen to his best friend Charles. ” Francis, let’s go to my house” he finally said as he walked slowly to the door. ” Let me drive Gabriel, you aren’t in the right frame of mind.” Francis said to him and Gabriel threw the keys to him . Francis drove to Gabi’s apartment, before they got home, Gabriel had slept off in the car and Francis had to wake him up to go in. Francis had brought out the video tape again that night from his pocket and watched it again, ” Maybe I should just delete this ” Francis said to himself but on a second thought, he decided against it. Gabriel woke up late the next morning feeling weak, he walked to the sitting room and meant Francis sleeping on a couch, ” He should have used the guest room ” Gabriel said to himself as he switched on the screen TV, he was right in time to meet the morning news. ” News just getting to us,
Government scientist working for the Info’s lab Charles Oluwafemi, has been confirmed mad and he is running round
the street of Benin city , his colleagues are still trying their best to get him, as they say, he is very dangerous and violent. This seemed to be unbelievable as the young man was very okay during the early hours of yesterday when he was with his friend the famous Scientist Gabriel Hugine of Watford city, no one can tell what really happened. ” The news caster said as a scene of some group of men trying to hold down Charles was being displayed on the screen. Tears fell from Gabriel’s eyes as he beheld his best friend man. ” Hey Gabi, you dont need to this, it wasn’t your fault. ” Francis said, he was just waking up. ” Francis, that is my best friend ” He said while Francis patted him, ” It happens. ” he said while Gabriel nodded. ” I think we should go back to your lab and arrange things, you should also get new CCTV cameras so as to avoid suspicion ” Francis told him again, and Gabriel saw sense in it. Thank God it was weekend so his workers won’t be at work. He went and freshened up, he went first to get the new CCTV cameras, and with the help of Francis it was fixed in his lab. He also cleaned up the lab and within the twinkle of an eye, the lab was back to normal.

“Thanks Francis ” Gabriel said as they were done with the arranging, ” Anytime bro, I think I have to start going back to Lagos.” Francis replied him backing his bag, he had already kept the video tape in his bag. ” Thanks Francis, I really appreciate ” Gabriel said to him, ” please keep this secret , I… ” He was saying again but Francis interrupted him. ” your secret is safe with me, I won’t spill it out. ” Francis replied him and then hugged him before finally leaving for Lagos. Later that day in Gabriel’s house, people from the press came to his lab to interrogate him. ” Hy Dr. Gabriel, you heard the news about what happened to your friend?


According to what people said, he was with you on the early hours of yesterday. ” One if them said. ”l Yes, myself and Charles spoke yesterday,and he was fine.
He was very fine when I left him, I only woke up this morning to be confronted by the news that Charles is mad.” Gabriel replied calmly. ” Did you suspect anything wrong with him?” Another press man asked. ” Yeah, Charles had once told me that he do fells this kind of strange movement in his body.” Gabriel said again, they asked many more questions but Gabi answered all calmly.

That was what happened five years ago, Gabriel had handed over the lab to someone else and has decided to become a lecturer although he still get his money from the lab.
The charles incidence seem to have died down through the years, then all of a sudden Francis showed up with the video tape. He had threatened to make duplicate of the tape and make it viral. Only if Gabriel leaves joy for him, then he would destroy the tape. ” Gabriel!! So you mean you ain’t gonna tell me what’s wrong with you?” Joy asked as she walked into the room after Gabriel had ignored her in the parlour, he shout brought him back to reality. ” please joy, its night, am tired and weak, don’t let us start this again, I thought we have ended it some minutes ago ” he told her calmly as she stood arm akimbo. ” just hear yourself talk, you thought we have ended it some minutes ago, don’t make me say I regret ever knowing you, what have I done to deserve all this? You are just being heartless ” she said as she forced herself not to cry. ” OK ” he replied as he lied facing the other side of the bed. ” You are ignoring me again?” She asked angrily as she walked slowly to the bed, she targeted his face and landed him a hot slap. The slap made Gabriel turn to her in shock. ” Wait, you just slapped me?” Gabriel asked holding his cheeks, “poooo” another slap landed in his face again, this time it was the second cheek. ” And I will give you more if you don’t tell me what is bothering you. “ She shouted as she rose her hand to land him another slap, but this time he caught her hand in the air. ” so you haven’t stopped this your secondary school attitude of slapping people around?” He asked calmly, ” Oh shut up, that isn’t the point, what is wrong with you?” She asked again. ” Nothing ” Gabriel replied and turned to sleep but another slap caught his cheek. He simply smiled and got up from the bed, he walked to the guest room and locked the door as he knew Joy might come to disturb. ” open this door ” she shouted as she hit hand on the door, ” Gabi, open the door ” she said again as she bang the door hard but Gabriel simply la!d on the bed staring at the ceiling. “Gabriel you won’t like this o, let us sort this out now, for crying out loud, am your fiance.” She shouted again. Gabriel knew she won’t let him rest if he doesn’t open the door, he stood up from the bed and unlocked the door. Immediately he opened it, joy barged in and landed him another slap, he could not take it anymore as he returned the slap, it was a thunderous one. Joy held her cheek as she let out a faint smile, ” Gabriel, you have never slapped me before ” she said as she fell to the floor crying. ” Joy am sorry ” he said as he tried carrying her up ” Don’t dare touch me you beast ” she shouted as she beat off his hand from her body. ” Joy am sorry ” Gabriel said again as he bent beside her ” I said to tell me anything ” she said again and went off the room, Gabi followed her. ” Joy, listen to me” he said as they walked into his bedroom, ” Listen for what? You wanna keep your problem to yourself then so be it. ” she shouted . ” Joy, you are too hot, learn to calm your temper ” he shouted while joy turned to him. ” I have never been like this Gabi, it only started since you started keeping to yourself. What have I done to you? Oh I know why, is it because I told you to wait until we get married before you can have me? If that is the case then come have me now” she said as she started taking off her cloth. ” Joy, that isn’t it, waiting until marriage isn’t a big deal, my problem is beyond you, you can’t help me!” He shouted as he jumped angrily on the bed. ” You can’t tell if I can help, I might just be useful” she replied calmly but Gabriel didn’t reply her again, tears were now dropping from his eyes. ” Gabi, are you crying?” She asked as tears also dropped down her eyes, ever since their secondary school days, she had never seen him cry. She moved towards the bed and placed his head on her laps. ” Am sorry” she said as she wiped off his tears. About ten minutes later, the both of them could be seen fast asleep, Gabriel head was on joy’s lap and Joy’s head on his chest, dried tears could also be seen on their faces.
