â„ïž ARCHIE MYERS â„ïž
I couldnât think straight right now.
Who dare kidnapped my sister?
I donât think I offend anyone?
Nor do I fight anyone, so what would be the reason for kidnapping her?
âWhich direction did they follow?â I asked Becky, who was still p@n-ting heavily.
âThat wayâ she replied trying to catch her breath.
Samyn and I rushed towards where Becky pointed but unfortunately, we found no traces of the kidnappers.
We rushed back inside.
âMonalisa we have to go now, sorryâ I said facing Monalisa
âWhy?, the p@rty hasnât come to an end yet, so why rushing?â Lisa asked
âHumm⊠actually we have to attend to something important, so we must goâ Samyn said and we rushed out.
While driving, my phone rang.
âSamyn check the caller for meâ I said driving on a high speed
âUnknown numberâ she replied
âPick the call and put it on speakerâ I said and she did just that.
âHelloâ I said to the caller
âArchie Myersâ the person said in a thick voice
âWho are you? How did you know my name?â I asked
âWhy not letâs leave that aside and talk about your sisterâ the person said
I st©pped the car immediately I heard âmy sisterâ. I snatched the phone from Samyn
âWho are you? What do you want ? Why did you have my sister kidnapped?â I asked
âHey hey, calm down boy, we actually didnât kidnapped your sister, we were paid for her lifeâ the man said
âWhat do you mean? Do you have my sister with you or not?â I shouted
âDidnât you hear me? Or are you deaf? I said your sister is hereâ the man said
âplea-se let me hear her voiceâ I pleaded
âSave me brother, these men are badâ I heard Lenitaâs voice over the phone.
âDo you now believe we have your sister with us?â
âplea-se donât hurt my sister, if you want money, Iâll arrange it for you but plea-se Iâm begging you, donât hurt my sisterâ I pleaded, alre-ady close to tears
âWe donât nee-d anything from you, weâve been paid to kill your sister, someone has paid for her lifeâ the man said
âOh plea-se, donât kill my sister, I beg of you plea-seâ I pleaded in tears
âSorry man, your time is upâ the man said and hung up.
âGod plea-se save my sister and I wonât ask for more plea-seâ I said amidst tears
âItâs okay Archie, everything will be alrightâ Samyn said as she wiped my tears with an handkerchief.
âLetâs go and Lodge a complaint at the police stationâ Samyn said and I drove straight to the police station.
âGood evening Mr, what do you want?â A police officer asked us while standing at the entrance.
âIâm here to register a complaint about my sisterâs disappearanceâ I said and he let us in.
âSir, this man is here to register a complaint about his sisterâ the police officer said
âYes? What happened to your sister?â The inspector asked
âWe were at a p@rty when we discovered that sheâs missing, then a girl told us she saw some armed men taking my sister away. Some minutes ago, I received a call from the as-sas-sins and I spoke with my sister, which means sheâs there with them truly, and they said someone paid for her life, so theyâll kill herâ I explained
âSorry Mr, I canât register any complaint of such right now, it hasnât been 24hrs, we canât declare her missing just like thatâ the inspector said
âWhat are you saying inspector? We received a call from the kidnappers and they admitted to it that they have his sister with them, and we even spoke with her, so what are you saying?â Samyn shouted
âExcuse me maâam, you canât come here and start shouting, I said I canât register any complaint of such, do you want to teach me how to do my job? To be frankâŠâ the inspector was still talking when Samyn re-moved her hoodie.
All the police officers presÂŁnt were shocked and surprised to see her.
âTiana Hathawayâ a female inspector said in surprise.
âYouâre surprised?? Of course you should be, I c@mÂŁ here just to ask for your help to rescue his sister but youâre proving adamant, what did you say police are? *We are friends to the mas-s* isnât that what you pasted there?â Tiana said as she pointed at a small notice board that says *Police are friends to the mas-s*
âThen why are you not helping us when weâre friends⊠You like helping the rich only to get money from them, and ignore the powerless because they canât offer you anything, had it been we mentioned a hvge amount of money to give you if you help us find his sister, then Iâm very sure you wonât be digging de-ep into this matter⊠I think I nee-d to call the commissioner, you donât deserve this position if you canât help the mas-sâ Tiana said and brou-ght out her phone to call the commissioner but the inspector st©pped her.
âSorry maâam, Iâm really very sorry, you⊠you⊠you can state your complaint while I write it downâ the inspector said fearfully.
He wrote down our complaint and we left there.
â IN THE CAR â
âWhy did you reveal your face? Donât you know itâs dangerousâ I said to Samyn
âIf I didnât re-move my hoodie and let them know who I am, we wonât have our complaint written, so I thought of doing that, they donât like helping the poor, only the rich and powerful people can have their way in their custody, and I hate that!â she said and I placed my hand on her cheek.
âDonât worry, nothing will happen, and for Lenita, I will find a way to save her from the as-sas-sins, even if the police refuse to help meâ I said
âThey wouldnât even dare to ignore the caseâ Samyn said and we hvgged.
âplea-se donât let Chris and others know about this matter, try to act cheerful, I donât want them to worry about my sisterâ I said
âAlright, letâs goâ she said and I started the car and drove off.
~ THE NEXT DAY ~
đ CHRIS MORRIS đ
âHave you heard about what will happen in this coming week?â Wisdom asked me
âNo, what is it?â I asked
âThere will be ghost-walking and blindfolding competition on next week Wednesdayâ Wisdom said
âOh, thatâs niceâ I said, then Jessica, Monalisa, Archie and Jessamyn arrived.
âSee them, just coming after the principal had alre-ady addressed us, you guys are late today, why?â I asked
âDid you guys choose the time youâll arrived together?â Wisdom asked and they smiled
âWe met at the school entranceâ Samyn said
âGood morning loveâ Jessica greeted as she hvgged me and I reciprocated.
Monalisa also did the same to Wisdom.
âI guess you guys havenât heard the latest gist in schoolâ Wisdom said
âIs it about the ghost-walking and blindfolding competition that will happen on next week Wednesday?â Monalisa asked
âOf course yes, it is the talk of the school nowâ I replied
âHow did you know when the principal just announced it this morning and you havenât arrived then?â Wisdom asked
âDonât you know how the students of this school are? Theyâve uploaded it on the school group just some minutes ago, I saw it on my way here, in the carâ Monalisa said
âHow is it going to be? Iâve never heard of ghost-walking and blindfolding competition beforeâ Jessamyn said
âTalking of the ghost-walking, the contestants will be covered up from head to toe in white cloth, and they will walk to a specific place where they are meant to st©p, then the winner will emergeâ I explained to her
âAnd what about blindfolding competition?â Samyn asked
âAbout that, the contestants will be blindfolded and they will be asked to pick some tennis ball, the winner will be determined from the highest ba-lls pickedâ Archie explained
âAlright, sounds niceâ Samyn said
âAre you contesting?â Jessica asked Samyn
âNo, you?â Samyn asked back
âIâll take p@rt, itâll be so interestingâ Jessica said
âHow about you Monalisa?â Samyn asked
âIâm also p@rticipating, I would love p@rtake in itâ Lisa said
âAlright, best of luck, I know you guys will winâ Samyn said
âArchie, Mr Charles said you should sÂŁnd the names of contestants of our clas-s to his e-mail accountâ Wisdom said and Archie nodded.
âAnd he said they shouldnât be more than 12â I added and he nodded again.
â„ïž ARCHIE MYERS â„ïž
I took my pen and jotting book, then I headed to the front of the clas-s.
âAttention everyoneâ I shouted but theyâre not re-ady to listen to anything
âAttention plea-seâ I shouted again and they kept quiet.
âWhat do you want? Why are you disturbing us?â Mia shouted but I ignored her.
âMr Charles said I should sÂŁnd him the names of whoever have interest in p@rticipating in the coming competition, so if youâre interested, come and put down your names in my seatâ I said and went back to my seat.
They started coming to register their names.
âWhatâs your name?â I asked them one after the other
âEvelynâ
âMariettaâ
âJennyâ
âBabitaâ
âMirandaâ
âClaraâ
âEricâ
âAndersonâ
âIs that all?â I asked
âYou havenât write my nameâ Monalisa and Jessica said at the same time
âAlright, Iâll do that nowâ I said
âDo you know my name? Or should I tell you my name?â Jessica asked and we all bur-sted into laughter.
Ria and Mia appeared in front of me.
âYou havenât put down our namesâ Ria said
âWrite our names now or do you nee-d us to spell it for you?!â Mia shouted
âWhere were you when others c@mÂŁ to put down their names?â Jessica asked
âWere you dead?â Monalisa added
âBetter mind your speech, elseâŠâ Ria said
âYouâll beat them because theyâre your younger sisterâ Wisdom said
âElse what? Excuse me, pack your mess selves to your seatâ Lisa said
âRia, leave them alone, weâll teach them a lessonâ Mia said and they went back to their seat.
âYou donât know more than that, youâll teach us a lesson because youâre teachersâ Jessica shouted at them
âBunch of idiotsâ Chris said
I pit down their names along with Jessica and Monalisaâs.
Then I sÂŁnt the list to Mr Charles email account.
âThis clas-s is boring, girls plea-se make us laugh like you always do, plea-se, I canât bear this boredomâ Chris said
âWe should make you laugh?â Jessica asked with a grin
âYes plea-seâ Wisdom said
âAlright, Monalisa letâs bring it on!â Jessica shouted and Monalisa smiled
We created space for them to pas-s as they c@mÂŁ out and stood in front of me.
âYou havenât put down our namesâ Jessica said, obviously doing what Ria did.
âWrite our names now or do you nee-d us to spell it for you?!â Monalisa shouted demonstrating just like Mia did some minutes ago.
We all bur-sted into laughter as they did that.
âYou girls are so funnyâ Chris said and laughed the more.
âSee how theyâre staring at you with killer eyes, better come and sit backâ I said and made way for them to pas-s but they wouldnât listen as they still wanted to continue their skit.
đ Ria Sylvester đ
âDonât worry Mia, weâll teach them a lessonâ I said to Mia who was burning in rage.
âI wonât let them p@rtake in the competitionâ Mia said
âWhat will you do?â I asked
âCome, let me tell youâ she said and whispered something into my ear. I smiled on hearing it.
âThatâs perfect!â I said as we air high five.
