JUST by mistake

Chapter 3

SCENE THREE

-------------------------------

While at home, Mary's parents have been so worked up because of how worried they are about her well being. They are afraid that something bad might happen to her, and the fact that she's a girl, makes it more risky.

Mr Daniel : You see what you've caused, you see it.I want my daughter to enjoy her self.Its her time. ( Mimicking her ).

Mary's mom: Please, please. Don't just get me upset this evening, and don't even think of blaming me.After all, you do the same thing every time, come back late and intoxicated.(She says in a harsh tune ).

Mr Daniel: Woman Don't talk to me like that!!( He says Authoritatively ).

Your not any better you harlot.(He says yelling ).

Mary's mom: (Immediately gets furiated and slaps her husband ). You don't have the right to question my character! For goodness sake, i gave you this job your busy boasting of.Dont even think in the slightest way, that I'll let you insult me, or even oppress me, because i put you in the position your in without me, you are absolutely nothing (She says pointing at him ).

Mr Daniel: Woman shut up!! I don't have time for your inarticulate attitude.( He says as he stumped out infuriated and provoked).

While that was going on, Mary, Alice, and Uju were busy having the time of their life.

Alice: The dinner would soon be over, but your Henchmen are nowhere to be found.If this plan gets ruined, believe me, i won't be part of the rest, and you know what that means. You'll incure the biggest lost you've ever experienced..., most importantly, the BOSS wouldn't be pleased. He may just decide to use you instead.( She pauses a bit and lowers her voice) in this business, we need to be very vigilant, observant and extremely careful.

Before she completes her last words, the Hench men they colabrorated with came in with guns with their face covered.

Hench man 1 : Your hands in the air and don't even think of moving an inch. if not, I'll blast ur brains off.

Mary's heart was already pounding profusely.She kept wondering how her parents must be feeling back at home.She wished that she never came here in the first place.

While all that was going on, Alice went to discuss at a corner with Mr Nwosu.

Alice: Make your move now Mr Nwosu, you won't get a better opportunity than this, so you better grab it, or in this case, her.( And they both chuckle ).

By now, Mary's Spirit has long gone left her body.All she could think of now was an escape plan.

Then Mr Nwosu approaches her telling her there's a way out.

Mr Nwosu: Mary, i know a safe place where we can both go to, but it requires you paying a price.

Mary: ( Hearing the gun shots and blood everywhere, cause a lot of people have lost their lives, she quickly replies yes ).

Sir, anything, I'll do anything just to get out of this mess.. ( She says with tears rolling down her cheeks ).

Mr Nwosu: Then let's go to a nearby hotel room.

Mary: What!!!!, Must everything come with a price? and this.This is absurd. Am not going with you.(She turns back).

( One of the hoodloom's discovers their hide out but later got called by one of his partners).

Mary: Phew!( cleaning the sweat off her head).That was close.They almost saw us.

Mr Nwosu: ( talks in a low tune) So are you coming, or not?.

Mary: Yes, am coming.

Mr Nwosu then leaves through an opening under ground. A door built in which there are other rooms.

Mr Nwosu : Are you coming or not.(He asks once more ).

Mary: Am right behind you sir.

( She says with a plan up her sleeves).

Mr Nwosu: ( Takes her to an inner room under the ground). This is where we would be be spending the night, just the both of us.( Then he tried to reach for her waist) .

Mary: Sir why don't you come a bit closer, okay ( About to execute her plan).

Mr Nwosu, did as she says, with a mischievous look on his face).

Immediately, Mary grabs a large log and hit him so hard that he falls flat, making him unconscious.

Mary: ( reachs for his pocket grabbing his phone) Then she dials the number of the police.

Mary: Hello, (Panting )sir there's a robbery going on at The city hall, yes yes, the one close to Mivila hotel.Ooh, your on your way, thanks a lot sir.

We all know the system of our country, especially the way Nigerian police operates.They will never come at the expected time, so Mary had to lay low till they will arrive.

Meanwhile, with all the commossion going on, Alice couldn't find Mr Nwosu any where.

Alice: I hope that man has executed his plan, because if this plan should fail, were gonners.Let me call him to see how everything is going.

She dails his number not knowing that Mary is with Mr Nwosu's set.

Alice: Hello, hope your true with that girl.don't forget you have to bring her to the boss to sacrifice her, then we sell her parts, okay!.

Mary picked the call and didn't speak, so Alice wouldn't know she was with his set.

Mary heard all what Alice said, but decided not to say anything till the Police arrives.

Alice: If you like, don't reply, but all i know is that, i don't want to fail "BOSS". She concluded and ended the call.

Hearing this, Mary was devastated.She wondered why she ever became friends with her.But what if Uju is part of this whole plan.What if she knew all about Alice's scheme. ( She said deep within ).

Then she heard the phone ring, lo and behold, it was " The Boss ".

Boss: ( In a thunderous voice).If this mission get screwed, you'll pay with your life.Then he ended the call.

While back at Mary's house, The parents were already consulting the help of the police.

Mary's mom: Hello, Good day sir, i want to report a case sir.

Sir, my daughter went out for a party and she hasn't come back yet.

Police: Is it up to 24 hours? Until it's 24 hours before we declare her missing ma'am.

Mary's mom: Yes sir.Sir i urge that immediate effort be made to find her, cause am worried.

Police: Ma, it's very late, we'll go tomorrow.( Then he cuts the call ).

Mary's mom: I can't believe that this man hung up on me.And look at her so called father who supposed to be equally worried.Instead he's sitting on his chair sipping a cup of coffee, and watching the news.(Staring at him ).

Then after some count less hours of waiting, the Police finally show's up.

Then calls the line that reported the case.

Mary: Hello, yes am still here, yes sir, if you go to the back, you'll see an opening, there's a door, open it, and you'll see rooms there.The third room, you'll see me there.

you see stones i have left on the floor as a trail, follow it and you'll me there.

The police follows it and find Mary's hideout.

Mary: What took you all so long to get here.

Police: We can't just barge in.We needed more men.

Mary: Okay, so what's the plan.
