Betrayer in disguise - S01 E13

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 13

As he helped me out, I noticed everywhere was so quiet but I couldn’t say a word knowing we were sneaking from the place, but suddenly someone sneezed inside and the guy stopped which I did also.

He looked surprised someone sneezed and I wondered why. He quickly dragged me which I endured when the sneeze came again and it was like the person wanted coming out.

We hurried to a corner and hid ourselves as the darkness was also in our favour.

“Why everybody dey sleep like Mumu? Guy! We heard the guy shouted and went in, and the guy with me quickly dragged me away outside and he ran to the car to open up.

“Get in fast, he said and I got strength from no where to meet up.

I got in and as he was about driving out the guy who was awake probably saw the car lights and rushed out but we took off already.

“Ebuka! Ebuka! We heard him shout behind us but he never stopped.

“Thank you, I said as I noticed I was holding my breath when we were far from the building but he didn’t say anything.

“How did you do it? I asked but he removed his phone and gave it to me.

“Call your parents, tell them to leave the house immediately, don’t ask me why or where, he said and I took the phone and saw it was past 1am.

I typed in my dad number and with just one ring he picked up, looks like he was awake looking at his phone.

“Hello! His voice came on phone.

“Daddy, daddy, I said very happy to hear that voice.

“Joan! Joan is that you? He shouted.

“Joan Joan darling where are you? Where are you? My mom quickly got the phone and I closed my eyes.

“Mom I don’t know but you and everyone should leave the house now. You can drive to any hotel and hide there for a while please, I replied.

“Joan what are you saying? If there’s a case I can call the cops now for protection, my dad said.

“Dad there’s a traitor in their midst and you cant risk this chance. Just don’t tell anybody, please go away this night I’ll try to reach you probably in the morning, I said.

“Joan are you okay? My dad asked.

“Dad just do this okay, I replied and Ebuka got the phone from me and switched it off.

“Why should they leave? I asked him.

“Because they will be attacked, he replied.

“Why are you risking this? I asked and he placed his left hand on his head.

“I just feel I should do something good today, he replied.

“Don’t you think they will look for you or your family? I asked and he scoffed.

“Family? They will have to dig them out from the grave if that is so. I can take care of myself, after all they treated me like trash there, he replied.

“I saw when you were hit on your stomach, that was when I first escaped, I said and he looked at Me.

“I see I already gave you the chance, he said.

“And you caught me, I said.

“It was best I did, if I had a chance to let you go I would have done that but I had no choice, he said.

“But why are the bears sleeping? I asked.

“I cook and serve them here, so I drugged the food. I think the guy who wasn’t affected didn’t eat much or something but its not important anymore, he replied and I smiled something I haven’t done for a while now.

“Thank you, I said.

“So will your family hand me over to the police? He asked.

“I won’t let them do that, but you have to help us catch them else they will keep hunting after us, I replied and he smiled.

“I can’t do that, let the police do their job and I wish you luck, he said and stopped the car.

We were already on the road and it was so quiet like a grave yard.

“Why are we stopping here? I asked.

“I’m done helping you Joan, look after yourself and be careful, he replied and my eyes bulged out.

“What? Wait you can’t be serious! Its late and I don’t know where I am please don’t do this, I said.

“What do you want me to do? Drive you to a hotel or a police station? He asked with an angry tone and I nodded.

“I’m sorry and thanks for your help, I calmly said and walked out from the car and he drove off.

I looked left and right but saw no car coming, then I went to a shop and squatted but my back refused that position. I quickly sat down feeling cold and rubbed my hands together to create heat just to keep my body warm.

A car was seen coming and I didn’t know if it was the guys because they have 2 vehicles which Ebuka took 1 of it.

Fear held me to stand up from where I was even though I was tempted to ask for help from any coming vehicle.

To make it worst I didn’t really take a good look at the cars parked at the kidnappers building, I only know I saw 2 vehicles.

The car passed and I calculated the time Ebuka left, probably the guy who was awake must have followed us behind…. I just used my number 6 to think.

Few minutes later I saw lights and I stood up to check but it was a bus.

I began to scratch my head contemplating,

“Joan are they good people? I asked myself but as the bus was approaching I saw myself ran back to the shop and hid myself.

I began to cry o because I was freezing and my back was not taking it kindly from me.

“God please, please help me out of here. I know you’ve answered the other prayer, but there’s another one, make it complete for me please, I prayed and kept creating heat using my hands.

Few minutes later lights flashed again and I stood up this time determined to show myself. I saw it was a bus and there were bags of food stuffs on the roof. Seeing that i knew market women are just returning and i quickly stretched my hands waving at them as they approached,

“help me please, please help me! I kept shouting and i saw few women awake in the bus,

“Please in the name of God! I screamed and knelt down when it was like the bus wanted passing and it stopped after it passed me.

Seeing that I dragged myself to it and greeted the driver,

“What are you doing out here? He asked.

“Sir I was kidnapped, i just managed to see myself here, please help me, I replied.

“She’s even with a school uniform and that’s my daughter school, a woman I couldn’t see said inside.

“Yes please I’m not a bad person, I’m even the school girl’s senior prefect, I said.

“Come in come in, the driver said opening the front door for me. Though there was a fat woman sitting there who was sleeping, she had to adjust for me and he drove off.

I was thrown questions from all angle, and my presence in the bus woke up those who were sleeping that I was tired of answering.

“Please can I call my dad? I asked.

“Yes yes, the driver said giving me his phone and I dialed my dad number.

Just like before he quickly picked up,

“Hello! He said.

“Dad where are you? I asked.

“Joan we are just about driving out, where are you so i can pick you up? He asked.

“Dad speak with the driver, I said giving the driver the phone…………
