Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 19

Terror at the Hospital

“Good and evil are the cause and effect of each other. When you try to become good, you also become evil because the seeds of evil are concealed in all goodness just like the code of ‘death’ is already written in all ‘births’. Those who are considered to be evil by some are also viewed as good by others. The terrorist of one society is the martyr of another.”

{Mike’s Viewpoint }

Cassandra looked at me amazed and say, “Are you sure of what you are …”

we heard the sound of a car. I peeped through the louvre blades and there it was – The Blue Van belonging to the criminals!

“Sandra quick,hide Tife. They will kill him if they get in here.! and find a place for me to hide.”

Cassandra ran and quickly put Tife on a gurney(wheeled stretcher) and covered him with a white cloth. She then moved him to the mortuary area. She gave an instruction to the mortician and ran back to me. “Come with me. Let me hide you somewhere safe.

I followed her like a man led to the slaughter house ( abbatoir)

She led me to a very narrow room and flipped a carpet aside. “This is an underground room,enter and hide there.”

“A beggar they say has no choice.” I quickly entered the underground room. I closed the door leading to the underground room. The whole place was plunged into darkness. It was as if I was buried alive. I felt I was suffocating. My lungs burned as I forced the few Oxygen in that musty environment into it. I was short of air but I struggled to sieve the few good air within.

Though the room was quiet most of time, I could hear the annoying stridulating of the crickets. I secretly prayed to God that I should not suffocate to death.

[Third Person’s POV]

The gang entered the hospital yard firing bullets in the air.

The people began to scream and ran helter- skelter. The thugs looked mercy-less. They were armed with all sort of guns, a shotgun, a .357 Magnum revolver, an automatic pistol and Long Rifles.

Jackson entered the female ward and took many women hostages including twelve nurses, forty five patients , Doctor Draignon and nine newborn babies. They also invaded the male ward beating any man who dared challenged them.

One elderly nurse called Rosemond attempted to wrestle Razak’s shotgun from his hands. As she ran away, Razak fatally shot her in the back. She hit the ground with a heavy thud. The rest of the captives loked stunned and shaken to the bone.

The gang searched almost all the departments and wards in the hospital.

The Emergency department, Cardiology , Paediatric intensive care unit. Neonatal intensive care unit.

Cardiovascular intensive care unit. Neurology. Oncology.

Obstetrics and gynaecology, colloquially and maternity ward.

The gang asked the hospital administrator and Doctor Draignon to bring out Mike and Tife.They threatened to kill the hostages if they fail to produce the two boys- Mike and Tife.

Doctor Draignon saw Cassandra chatting with Mike a few minutes ago so he turned to Cassandra and asked her where the patient was.

Cassandra lied that Mike and Tife left a few minutes before the arrival of the gang.

Jackson was no fool. He knew the nurse was hiding something from him. He threatened her ,”young lady, don’t try me. Where are the boys?”

Cassandra was frightened but stood her ground. She said ” I don’t know.

Razak came in. He asked her, “are you sure you don’t know their whereabouts?”

Cassandra said ,Yes, I don’t ……..”

Her response was cut in mid-air.

He slapped her and asked her again if she had seen the two boys. Once again, Cassandra denied knowledge of the boys.

Angered by the nurse’s intransigence,

He beat the crap out of her.

‘Sandra was bleeding from the head. He threw her to the ground and stomped her, knocking her head 10 times with his bare hands until she lost consciousness.

Cassandra didn’t know when she fainted . All she knew was she felt some liquid on her face. It was water. She opened her eyes only to stare into the chilly eyes of highly infuriated men. They showed no remorse on how they beat her , slapped and stomped her until she blackout. She could feel blood coming from her head unto her white nursing uniform.

“Welcome back,girl. Now are you ready to talk?” Razak asked her.

She remained silence. One of the criminals cocked his Semi-automatic pistol and aimed it at her head. She could feel the cold hard muzzle of the gun on her head.

She began to shake. If he mista

kenly pull the trigger,the bullet would go straight into her medulla Oblongata.

“Young lady, I asked you for the last time. Where is Mike and the taxi driver.”

At that point she knew she had to make a hard choice between betraying Mike and live and Standing firm and die.

Cassandra kept quiet for a few seconds contemplating on her decision. Then she said….I DON’T KNOW.

Razak was stunned. He hesitated for a few micro Seconds and said, “well ,you made your choice by choosing to die in place of Mike. ”

Everything stood still. He put his hand on the trigger and pulled it………….

~~Tify’s Ghostly Experience~~

Tife stayed with the mortician for about five minutes when the robbers attacked the hospital.

That was the first time he ever stepped into a mortuary. All the compartments were fully loaded with dead bodies. Bodies of people who were alive some few months ago eating,talking,walking,

laughing just like us.

He cast his eyes on the floor and saw numerous bodies sprawled on the floor. It was as if they were used as floor mats.

A place to rest in peace in that morgue was a luxury considering the mountain of dead people his eyes could count lying uselessly on the floor.

To think that he could easily become a member of that bizzarre crowd made him shivered. He decided to remove his eyes from that mundane sight to the other side. He regretted it.The mountain of dead people at the opposite side far outweighed the ones he saw first.

He saw the dead body of a gigantic man lying on a drenched mat on the floor because the mortuary’s refrigerator broke down and they had no other option than to let him stench.

His eyes met a very beautiful lady also on the floor. She was also there,lifeless on the floor with her ‘conical hills’ and entire body fully exposed to the gazing eyes of everyone. At least a transparent pant hide her V* but her womanhood was dripping with blood,a sign of violent rape.There was a nasty gush at her left side which also showed a sign of violence.

Tife told the mortician to take him out of the morgue. He told the mortician, ” I can’t hide myself among the dead.” He was still on the wheeled stretcher. Suddenly he felt a sharp pain around his neck and became unconscious.

He didn’t know how long he remained asleep but when he woke up, he saw himself between two dead bodies,one at his right ,the other at his left like the two thieves on both sides of Jesus Christ. There were also bodies parked in the compartment above him. His clothes were gone. He was almost naked except for his boxer short.

He could hear the winds of death around him,as if getting ready to encircle him and take him to their abode.

He was keenly aware that any wrong move could cause the dead bodies on top of him to fall on him because there was a gap in the top compartment that the bodies could have easily fall through. Flickers of fear entered his heart. Shouting became the only option.

He shouted,HELP!!!!HELP!!!!HELP!!!!

Unfortunately,his shout for help attracted the wrong ones. All of a sudden ,he heard a loud commotion in the room.

Human voices. He gathered courage and move swiftly downward,praying his foot should not hit the corpse on the floor.

He wasn’t lucky. He tripped off and came down faceward lying exactly on top of the dead beautiful lady as if he was Necrophiliac*. Her tantalizing lifeless breast accidentally entered his mouth. It was still warm.

In his minds eyes,he saw the lady opened her eyes and told me, “get off me,you pervert.” Then she grabbed his hands firmly as he was about to lift himself off her.

He screamed loudly,like a child about to be caned mercilessly by his school teacher.

Suddenly,a cold hand touched his back and grabbed him solidly.

He turned round with aggression to ward it off. Then he saw the mortician who tranquilized him. He said , it’s over now. Your enemies have left” let me help you to your stretcher. He had a mix emotion of gratitude and annoyance.

*☆*

Back to the gangs,When Razak pulled the trigger,he did it deliberately to scare Casandra. He secretly removed the bullet from that gun. Seeing that Casandra was unmoved by his threats, he put in the real bullets and aimed the gun at Cassandra. He shouted down from from 10…9..8….7..6..5…4..3…2….”

Then Gina, the nurse on duty with Cassandra said, “I would help you.”

Razak,Ferro and Eastman craned their eyes.

Gina, told the gang that Tife was sent to the mortuary and Mike was sent to an underground building closer to the hospital storeroom.

The gang was happy someone was willing to talk to them. They went to the mortuary to ascertain the truthfulness of Gina’s words.

They saw Tife lying among the dead ‘dead.’ Their object of interest was not really Tife. They zeroed in on Mike in the underground building.

Casandra knew it was over for Mike. He would be captured and tortured or possibly killed. Until that hour ,she never knew she could be that brave,that defiant even when death stared at her in the face.

Soon the robbers forced opened the door to the underground chamber,their guns ready to shoot Mike. Sadly they found………….

What happens next?
