~Yemisi~
Ireti and I sat at the hospital’s reception waiting for the doctor to come out
We’d rushed Pamela here hoping they could help her and we could get some information
Sadly, we’ve been here for the past 1 hour and no report
I couldn’t think straight
Witnessing a person get shot in front of you is quite a lot to handle
“Where is my baby?” I heard someone scream
I didn’t know who she was but she was coming towards me
“You!” she shouted pointing an accusing finger towards me
“After the Bailey’s daughter, you are after mine” she accused
So she was Pamela’s mum
I thought she’d arrive earlier
She all this people no dey think ni(Don't they all think)?
What do I want to gain with killing their daughters?
“I’m sorry ma” I said
She raised her hand up and slapped me
“Sorry, my ass” she spat out
“If my daughter dies, I swear I would bury you alive” she shouted
I regret ever sympathizing with her
I had no reason to apologize but I did and earned a slap
The door of the room Pamela was flung open
I saw a stretcher with a body covered with white cloth
I knew what it meant.
“God why” I heard Ireti sigh
She had passed out earlier
“No” I heard Pamela’s mum cry
She lifted the white cloth from Pamela’s face
Her face looked pale
“My baby” she wept
“You!” she shouted pointing at me again
Wait! Wasn’t she crying just now
“I will so kill you” she said holding me and shaking me violently
“Get your filthy hands off my daughter” I heard mom say
I had called her 15 minutes before Pamela’s mum appeared
My mum came, pushed Pamela’s mum from me and pulled me into a hug
“Are you okay?” she asked
“Hmhm” I replied
“Ireti are you okay too?” mum asked
“Awful” she replied
“She fainted” I added
“Why won’t she faint?” mum asked
“If it isn’t the notorious FYK CEO” Pamela’s mum said interrupting our moment
“I’m really sorry for your loss Alice” mum said sarcastically
“My daughter and her friend have nothing to do with it but your daughter got herself mixed up in things she shouldn’t” mum continued
“So if you don’t mind” she said dragging Ireti and I out of the hospital
We got into the car
“Why would you guys do such a thing?” mum asked
“Miss Adekunle, we didn’t know it would turn out like this” Ireti said
“We’re sorry” I added
“Miss Adekunle, can I spend the night at your place?” Ireti asked
Mum and I looked at her confused
“My parents are out on a business trip and I’m very sure I won’t be able to sleep alone after all this” she said
“No problem” mum replied
“Oh thank you” Ireti gushed
When we got home Ireti and I rushed upstairs to my room
“Ireti, I received a message when Pamela got shot” I said and showed her the message
“God why” Ireti sighed
“Wait!” she said and I perked up
“We could track the number” she said
I looked at her surprised
“With this app” she continued
I quickly gave her the number to track
“It is in Epe” Ireti said
“Seriously, is that even in Lagos?” I asked
“It is. The outskirts. You need to study more” Ireti said
“So you’re saying the sender of this text is in Epe” I asked
“That’s what it says in the app” Ireti replied
“Ugh whatever, I’m famished” I said
“Yeah me too, my stomach won’t stop grumbling” Ireti added
We hurried downstairs. The aroma coming from the kitchen almost killed me
“Mummy in the kitchen cooking, what?” I sang
“Dinner” mum replied
“The girls in their room doing what?” Mum sang using the same tune
“We’re just discussing today’s events” I shrugged
“Be more careful, you could have been Pamela” mum scolded
“Thank God we aren’t. Miss Adekunle, we’d be more careful” Ireti said
“I’d take that as a promise” Mum said looking at us both
We nodded and moved to the sitting room
In a short while we had our dinner and after that I filled Kayode on all he’d missed
“It doesn’t seem like he wants to kill you” Kayode said after my never ending story
“That kinda explained the threat” Ireti added
“Who the hell is doing this?” I asked myself
“It’s totally someone who knows you” Ireti answered
“I agree” Kayode added
Later we watched some movies till 9:55 pm
Then mum came to ruin our movie time
“Time for bed” she called
We all groaned, mumbling things only we could here
Kayode wanted to turn the TV off
“Don’t!” Mum said “I wanna watch the 10pm news” mum continued
Ireti and I went to the kitchen to grab a glass of water
By the time I got back to the sitting room, the news just started
She wasn’t here, maybe in her room
“Mum!” I called “The news has started” I continued
On the headlines today is this shocking news of the FYK CEO’s daughter
I turned my head to look at the screen
The words I saw threw a knife in my chest
FROM ASSAULT TO MURDER
Three pictures appeared on the screen
Alessia’s, mine and his
