This is the continuation of the story- Life in One Yard.
By the time I peeked into it, I saw a body lying on the floor, her clothes sprawled on the floor.
I moved swiftly toward the body, hoping against hope that she was still breathing.
"Oh Chinasa, is that you?" I lift her arm and let it fall, watching it land limb and heavy on the floor.
I checked her pulse and it felt steady.
Then I wondered what I could do to save my dear friend from dying because she was already weak. It seemed she had not eaten for days.
Not too long, I began to hear footsteps approaching the door.
"Where are you? Young lady...." Alhaji Musa called out.
As soon as I saw him walking toward the door, I hid behind the door.
He peeked into the room where Chinasa lay, walked in, and perused the room, his eyes narrowing as he scanned for any signs of forced entry.
Feeling threatened, I picked up the stick close to where I stood and held it firmly.
The moment he tried turning his neck, I struck to incapacitate him.
"Yo Allah, my head," He screamed, falling to the floor in a dizzy spell.
I reached out to his phone quickly, and I dialed my father's mobile number.
Edmond picked up the call.
"Hello, who am I speaking with?" He asked, his voice quivering with fear.
"It's me, Quincy...." I gave a quiet reply in a low tone.
Edmond screamed with excitement when he realized it was me.
"Quincy, where have you been? Dad and Mom are eager to see you..."
At that point, I was happy to hear that my parents are back together.
"Edmond, this is not the time to discuss because I'm in a mess..." I said, having my eyes fixed on Alhaji Musa.
"What is happening with you there? Talk to me na..." Edmond requested.
"I'm here with Chinasa and I need your help before she passes out..." I informed him.
"Ha, just send the address to me and I'll come pick you..." He said,confidently.
"Look, you can't do this alone, you need to inform the police..."
"Alright, just send the address, I'm going to inform brother Richard...." He demanded.
I ended the call and then sent the address to Alhaji Musa's house to Edmond.
A few minutes later, I heard a police siren, wailing down the street.
The police arrived at the compound less than I expected.
They surrounded it, Richard, and Edmond walked into the room that we were in, and they carried Chinasa into their van, while Alhaji Musa was apprehended.
"You must remain silent or whatever you say will be used against you in court of law..." The police officer in m***i handcuffed Alhaji Musa.
"Yo, I'm not the only one involved in this, you must go for the other persons...." He grumbled.
Chinasa was admitted to the hospital, and Alhaji Musa led the police officers to Mr. Jakwa's apartment.
In an attempt to run away, Mr. Jakwa was g_unned down and he was severely injured.
Next was Madam Obidi's house.
Do you think Madam Obidi will be arrested?
