__________&&&&_________
Mary's Mom was worried about her daughter, mainly because the way the call was cut.She felt that something bad must have happened to her.
Mary's Mom: I wonder why i sent her following him in the first place.If anything happen to her, i promise i won't spare that man.(Says within ).
After some hours, she finally regains conciousness.This time, she was locked up with other prisoners.
Mary: Where, where am i?(Says holding her head ).Who are this people.Ooh God, what am i gonna do now.Okay, okay, I'll try helping this people escape.Thats what am gonna do.
Then she wakes them up.
Mary: You guys should wake up.I know a way out.But be very quiet, and don't let anyone know about this.
Girl: How are we gonna get out.I have tried countless escape plan, but all have proved abortive.
Mary: Before then, i overheard one of his men saying that, whenn the boss leaves, he'll slack out with his friend, and they'll go out for a drink.Thats when we'll strike.But for now, don't let anyone know about our plan.
That evening.....
Hench men 1: Nna, bia ka anyi ga(He says locking the doors of the captives ).
Henchmen 2: Make sure you lock everywhere properly.(Holding his ears with his right hand).
Henchmen 1: Gini kam na' eme.If you like, you come.If you don't like, you stay.Nna, Alawa gom.
Henchmen 2: Wait, annom na azu gi.
When the coast was clear.Mary then signals them.Already, When she was first hit on her head, she was took hold of the man's key.
Mary used the key to break loose.She rescued a lot of people, and made sure they were back to their respective homes.But unfortunately, she was caught while escaping, when The 2nd hoodlum came back to take something he left behind.Then she was taken back to the room.
The Henchmen quickly informs the boss.
Henchmen 2: Boss, they've all escaped ooh, with the help of Mary.
The boss: What!!! Okay, where's Mary.
Henchmen 2: I was able to capture her.
The boss: Where we're you two?
i kept you too in charge while i go bring who's gonna buy them at a good price.
Henchmen 2: Boss, that's not the question.The question here is that they've all escaped.Right now, i don't even know where to look for them.
The boss: You know what...Forget them.Forget them all.The most important thing is that, Mary didn't escape.We can get others.But that girl Mary could rat us up.Shes our biggest obstacle in going through with the rest of our plan.She can expose us all.
Henchmen 2: That won't happen.Now, am extra careful.She won't get that opportunity.
Back home.....
Mary's Mom has to file another complain that her daughter was missing.
Mary's Mom: Inspector, (She says crying),i don't want to loose my daughter.Its all my fault.I sent her out there.It's all my fault (Then she kneels down, crying her eyes out ).
Inspector: What's all your fault?.We're already investigating the case you're daughter called intangled in.Where else have you sent her?
For this new case, you'll have to pay extra money.
Mary's Mom: That's no issue (She says as she gets up and clean her tears).Am, am ready, to pay any amount.I can't loose her because of my mistake.I just can't.
Inspector: Already, the case at hand has got all of my men occupied.We will try to squeeze out time to go into this new case.But for now, crying won't solve the problem.Where last did she go?
Mary's Mom: She, she was following her father behind.He said he wanted to visit a friend.But it was late.I couldn't let him go because earlier she told me she was suspicious of him.I just wanted to clary.
Inspector: Clarify what?
Mary's Mom: I wanted her to clarify that her father wasn't the boss.That she got it all wrong.Maybe, maybe she was right.I should have just believed her...Not send her out there to do the work you guys are supposed to do.
Inspector: Ma'am we're trying our best.You need to go home now.Staying here wouldn't help.
Mary's Mom: I can't stay home cause nobody is at home (She says vociferously).
Inspector: You have to.(Then he leaves).
Mary's Mom: Am not leaving.I'll stay right here.(She says cleaning the tears on her cheeks).
Meanwhile, The captives that Mary rescued called the mom from a private number.
Mary's Mom: Hello, who's this?
Please speak up, am already stressed out.
Girl: Are you Mary's Mom?
Mary's Mom: Yes, yes,(Standing up from her seat)I am Mary's Mom.Where's my daughter?
Girl: I called because your daughter was captured.Along the rest of us.
Mary's Mom: What do you mean among the rest of us?
We're you also captured.?
Girl: Yes.Your daughter did a heroic act by saving us all.Unfortunately, she was unable to escape.She was caught while escaping, while she let the rest of us free.
Mary Mom: Ooh God, oh God.Where are you?
Girl: Meet me at Shabi park, close to Adumu joint.
Mary mom immediately writes down the address.Then she rushes to the inspector's office.
Mary's Mom: Inspector, i told you that am not going anywhere.Now see how God has helped me for the search of my daughter.A girl just called me, telling me that my daughter was captured.She rescused her and some others, but couldn't escape because she was caught.
Inspector: Anyone can call you and tell you this.How sure am i that the girl in question, hasn't been spying on you.It may just be the boss, trying to fool you, in order to lure you into the trap he has set.
Mary's Mom: No, no(She dries the tears that was beginning to get accumulated in her eyes).Her voice was different.She even gave me an address.And i believe what she said, because i know my daughter.She's that courageous.She can even sacrifice her life for anyone, if it warrants that. Inspector, try to believe me.Am ready to take chances.Afterall, life is all about taking risks.
Inspector: Okay, okay, if you say so.Unfortunately, John isn't around at the moment, so we'll take other men, because we need a lot of back up.
Mary's Mom: All i request is that you and your men should hurry up.
After some countless hours of waiting, Mary's Mom, the inspector, and his crew, sets to go to the location.
When they arrive, they see crowds campaigning.
Mary's Mom: Inspector, am sure this is where the girl asked me to come (Gets interrupted by the girl who gave her the address).
Girl: Welcome.I know your surprised with what you see here, but this are all the people who have been in bondage, just because of the boss.We came out here to help you and the police bring that man to justice.We are tired of all his atrocities.We want to save your daughter Mary, for giving us the opportunity to see day light, after so many years of bondage.Were eternally grateful.
Mary's Mom: (Speechless)
After a while, she finally summons the courage to speak.
Mary's Mom: With you all's help, am sure we will be victorious.
Already, People living in the Neighborhood, both far and near, came out to see what's happening.
The news about it has already spread like wild fire, and the police offered to give 50 billion, to anyone who would find the boss.
Then they all set for the dangerous journey.Before then, the boss got information from John that they've come to arrest him.
John: As am speaking, my crew are on their way to this place.I would suggest to relocate as quickly as possible.
The Boss: For Goodness sake, let me think properly.(He says pacing around).
Then he calls one of his henchmen
Henchmen 1: Yes boss, you summoned me.
Boss: Take this girl immediately!(He says pointing at her while scratching his head).
Henchman 1: Boss, to where?
The boss: To the airport.There, you'll meet her buyer.(Then he paused and look sternly at him), Don't let anyone see you, or no where your taking her.
Hench man1:Yes boss.As he sets to Leave.
The Boss: That's an order.
Mary's Mom, The inspector, and the crowd soon arrives at the location.Then the girl show them where Mary was tied up.
Mary's Mom: Mary, Mary(She yells her name constantly).
The girl: Seems like he has taken her somewhere else.
Mary's Mom: Were you then lieing to me.Do you think this is a joke.My daughters life is in danger.(She says crying her eyes out).
Inspector:What are you guys waiting for.
Men: Your order sir.
Inspector: Check every hookandcranny of this place.Make sure you burn down this place as quickly as possible when you're done.(He says Authoritatively).
Men:Yes sir.
Already, the media has been capturing all what that's happening.Mary's Mom speaks to the media.
Mary's Mom: Don't you have any shame at all.My daughter is missing and your here filming everything.You think this is a joke.
Journalist: As you can see here, Mary's Mom is devastated, considering all what that's presently happening.Her daughter isn't yet found and she's pretty worked up about this.Anyone who sees this face (The face appears on tv), should please report to the nearest police station).
Mary's Mom: (Kneels down sobbing).
A man called Mr Dele has earlier been watching the news on his social media platform.He's about to board a plane to Miami.
Mr Dele: I wonder what this country is becoming.Almost everyone is indulging themselves in one crime or the other.
Then he hears a girl call his name.
Girl:Mr Dele, Can you please show me your loggage?
Mr Dele: Sure.Here it is.
Then he notice a man breathing and panting at his back.In a way that seems as if he's panicking about something.
Mr Dele: Is anything the matter sir?
Man:No, nothing.(He says looking left and right the airport.Like someone or something was chasing him).
Mr Dele: Okay.Some people are just so weird.(Soliloquizing).
The lady then tells the man after Mr Dele to bring his bag.
Man:Why must my bag be searched.Am not carrying anything illegal.
Lady: Just bring your bag sir.(She says politely).
Mr Dele, as a peace maker, chips in.
Mr Dele: Just show her your bags.Okay, okay, you said your not carrying anything illegal right?So, to clarify that, give her your bag.
Then they both start quarrelling.
The man was no other person than the hench man, that The boss ordered to take Mary to the airport.
He locked Mary in a big suitcase.Mary managed to open up the zip a little, stretch out her hands and pick out a pen.
She wrote on Mr Dele's White trouser "Mary".
After the whole arguments, his bag wasn't searched.When Mr Dele saw what was on his trouser, he quickly got the hint that it was The girl who's matter was trending on all the social media networks.He quickly reported to the nearby security men.
Mr Dele: That man has a girl in his bag.Dont let him go,but stop him at all means.While i get in touch with the police.
Mr Dele quickly reaches to the police.
Mr Dele: Is this inspector Rahu?
inspector: Yes.
Mr Dele: I called using the number provided.I think i just spotted a man with a girl in his bag at the airport.
Inspector: What's the name of the airport?
Mr Dele: Queens airport at Nustins .
Inspector:Dont move an inch, we'll be right there.And make sure you keep an eye on the man.
Mr Dele: Yes, sure.I will.
Then he informs his men, the crowds, and Mary's Mom, about it.
Inspector: I got news that a man was spotted carrying a girl in his bag at Queen's airport.
Mary's Mom: Then what are you all waiting for.Lets go immediately.
Then they set to go to the airport.Arriving there,They didn't wear their uniforms because that could make the culprit run for his heels. They all dressed causally.
Mr Dele: Gives them a signal.
He's over there.(He says).
Inspector: Rushes to go, but when he sees him coming, he runs.
Unfortunately for the boss henchman, he was ambushed by the inspectors men.
Then they take him to the Police station after they had opened the bag and rescued Mary.The media was following them to get more information.
Inspector: Mr Dele has proved to us that he's a patriotic citizen of Nigeria, and would thereby be rewarded the amount promised.
Mr Dele: No, no.I didn't do it because of the money.It was only possible because of this brave teenage girl Mary.Who not only rescued the captives, but gave me a hint by writing her name on my trousers.And i suggest that the money be given to her.
The boss was later captured by the police with the help of the henchman he sent to sell Mary.
Police:As your going in here, your gonna pretend that nothing ever happened.
Henchman: Yes, yes, but please don't shoot.
Then he enters....
The Boss: What are you doing here.I thought i told you never to see me again after the job was done.
Henchman: I just came to, to...Then he yells, "Come in".
Inspector: Nice job.I thought you would mess up so I'll just have to blow your head up.
The boss: What!So you told them where i was.I should have known what a(Quickly gets interrupted by The Inspector).
