He managed to hide inside the bush, cos his gang left him. The police men opened fire, they started chasing the robbers vehicle, the robbers kept exchanging bullets with the police, they continued that way until the police got tired and went back to the passengers who were robbed. Zipper escaped with me on his shoulder. He took me to his house, I really don’t know how we got there cos I kept blacking out at intervals. I woke up to the rays of the morning sun, flashing my eyes through the window. I stretched lazily on the bed, then suddenly a knock came on the door.
