from pillar to post I find my grief, lost in stilt grip,left behind my fate
from pillar to post I find my joy lost in a dance, left behind my hate

    Open your eyes baby, can you be          wise cause you're my pride baby.....I'm on the run baby

In an Ally not to far away from the club, three boys guard all wearing a black shirt , two very hefty and one younger looking like a teenager

A fine young and handsome man in a clean blue classy suit holding onto a gun but with gloves on

So ur just a silly bate for the others,
You really would have just collected ur money and poof , you're gone but noo greedy Ashawo

If you wan kill me, kill me the lady shouts

Boss this mumu no dey fear ooo, one of the guards say turning to her

You think that stupid Ashawo disguise would work, if you want info from the Adewales next time think twice or at least use your brains

He looks at the smaller sized boy at the corner , with a stern look
Deliver the body to chief

He turns back to the girl on the floor and shoots three times 

Shola! She screams

He turns to the witness who calls out his name shaking with her knees weak and all he says is "RUN"

********

It was already 1am, I bang the door but no one opens it, Ada is certainly not at home, of course I would break into my own house , I grab a stone and keep hitting the lock just to remember I have a spare key
How would I remember with what Just happened to me, my hands still shaking but hopefully I find the key, I feel like screaming, crying, too many emotions to explain I get in as soon as I can and lock the door behind me

Rushing to the toilet, a cold shower and a good scrub would help but how much help do I need
I get out of the shower with a towel wrapped around my body to hear my phone beep continuously, placing both my hands on my ears but it still wouldn't stop.
Where is Ada when I need her, is it ok to tell Ada
The phone starts to beep again and again and again I finally gather the courage to pick it up 

Before 8am they'll be four investigators at your door step, your roommate would be back by 10am

I want you to get rid of the bloody finger thats in your purse
I don't care if you flush it, just get rid of it
Stall the investigators for the next 1 hour

It certainly wasn't Shola's voice
What business does he always run to, why me, what the f**k,  why did I follow him, why can't I just report everything, what if they kill me as well

I open my purse to see a white tissue paper, opening it to see a lady's finger with even done red nails, but bloody

God who send me, I just want to go for parties and enjoy my life what is all this again
What happened to buga

Unfortunately I could not sleep through out , I got rid of the finger and the tissue as well, cleaned up my room and had another cold shower by 5 am

****
At exactly 7: 30 I hear a nock on my door

I rush to open it good morning sir I say to the young investigator who shares a smile back , I look around for the remaining 3 investigators but found non 

Sorry you look familiar I look at his barge, Etene, Etene I call out
Emmm did you attend prestige high
Before I could finish my sentence he says nice seeing you again Anita
