Chapter three
& four

“Hello am looking for the lady that was brought in earlier this morning” I
said to one of the nurse.
“Are you her relative?” The nurse ask.
“No am her friend I brought her in” I said.
“Oh I see, you brought her in and you just left like that? How do you
expect us to treat her when
we don’t know who will pay us?” She ask.
“I don’t know I thought you people are train to save life?” I fired.
“Mr man I hope you know this a private specialist hospital, not a
government owned” she said.
“Please am sorry, I will be the one to pay I just rush back to get
something” I said.
“Oh well she said something about being a minister daughter and when we
check she was right
so we quickly administer treatment, I think she’s stable now and sleeping”
the nurse added.
“Oh thank God, where is she can I see her?”
“Yes, I will take you to her” she said.
“Okay”.
I follow her from behind as we pass many nurse and patient on the passage
way, she stop at
one room and open it and there I saw my Edna sleeping like a baby with drip
flowing through
her vein.
“Don’t wake her up” the nurse said as she walk away.
I walk gently to her and pull a sit, I sat close to her watching her breath
like a baby, she’s so
beautiful I know many Muslim girls are beautiful but her own is out of this
word, I still wonder
why shes still here in Nigeria when her father is a minister, the day I ask
her she said she will tell
the story another day, am praying for her to wake up so that she will tell
me the story.
As I continue gazing at her I just can’t help myself so I took her hand and
started rubbing it, she
breath and then open her eye, she turn and saw me smiling, she look around
and ask.
“Where are we?”
——————————

“In a hospital” I said.
“Oh, (she recall) you just drop me yesterday and disappear huh?” She said.
“Am sorry my love, I had to stand watch to make sure we are safe” I said.
“So are we safe?”

Chapter four
“Yes, they don’t know we are here”
“Okay that’s good, buy we can’t stay here for long”
“I know but you need your rest please” I said in a soft voice.
“Yes, go out and look for a place we will stay, come back and carry me
because staying here is
a risk” she said.
“Okay but I don’t have any money with me”
“That’s no problem, I still have my ATM” she said signaling me to check the
small pus on the
table, I check it and saw her gt bank ATM card, I took it and walk back to
her.
“Please switch on the television” she said with soft voice.
I walk there and on the TV, unfortunately they were showing what happened
on the highway
and how a group of cultist slaughter each other at eleme junction with more
than thirty people
dead, rumours had it that the battle between the two groups black axe and
white angels is not
over and the leader of white angel has place a bounty of one million naira
on anybody that can
bring the head of one miss Abubakar Zainobe sport minister daughter,
popularly known as
Edna, it was gathered that she’s the cause of all the blood shed after she
kidnap the leader
fiance.
Immediately they said that I look at Edna and she’s has already started
removing the drip from
her hand.
——————————

“What are you doing? I ask.
“ you heard them, they are framing me for everything its only a matter of
time before they find
us”.
“But you can’t leave like this”
“I have to or else we will be dead within one hour, help me up please” she
said.
I have no choice than to help her up.
“Take my ATM go and pay for my treatment while I put myself together” she
said.
I took her ATM and walk to the balcony, I saw the same nurse on the table
and ask her our bill,
she told me and then I gave her the ATM, I insert the code and pay. I thank
her and as I turn to
return to the room I saw six mobile police men coming from the outside
gate, I run to Edna and
saw her already set.
“Time to go the police are here” I said.
“I thought as much” she said.
I hold her hand and we pass through the back door and escape, we followed
the back of
another compound and come to waterline road, we saw taxi going to express
way so enter
immediately.
“So where should we go to now?” I ask.
“We need to find a way to escape port Harcourt”
“And go where?”
“Abuja, time to visit my dad” she said.
