Becca and Charles had been walking since without finding their aunt house, no one seems to know Mrs ayodele or Aunty remi that was their aunt's name she was their father brother she must have heard of father's death, but God knows why she didn't come, she though didn't like their mum but she loves them a lot it would have been better if they could find her. But her and their Dad had a fight lately on God knows what she stands still thinking maybe going to her was the best option.
They walked for a while and still couldn't find anything so they decided to rest under a tree they slept off immediately. Becca woke up to someone tapping her she opened a eyes a woman in her 30s stood in front of her. Good evening she greeted the woman what are you doing here a girl like you sleeping outside, this Lagos is dangerous to sleep outside like this.
