CHAPTER 12

" my son! the old man said looking confused as he had never heard of his son being close to the other three

"Grandpa are you sure?" Lucy asked surprised

Coincidentally Victor had just received a phone call from the IT (information technology) team and had just walked in when Lucy asked that question "you don name is Suliman?" He asked

"Yes!!"

"Then that means he knows Lucy sister and what happens to her, besides it seems like the last time she was seen was with them" Thaddeus said

" indeed this was the last photo of her on the internet that I could find, June 11!" Victor said

Repeating the words in her, Victory exclaimed in realization "June 11 ? That's today's date, 4 days to Lucy's birthday!"

"Here's the flash!" Lucy said painting a little in fear, if She understands Victory and Mr Agbebi words well, she was running out of time and she might really die in her birthday

Sensing her fear, Thaddeus patted her palm and calmly said "you are going no where!" He then smiled at her

On the screen a folder with a name showed up 'Adelusi' Richard clicked on it and opened it, there were two files there one named Lucy and the other Lilian

Thaddeus frowned, so Lily did exist, her full name was Lilian but where did she disappear to and why did that doctor lie about Lucy's medical report about being an only child

Richard clicked on the file named Lucy, what they saw next left them stunned, the screw was divided into two,on the right was Lucy with Lucy's picture while on the left was also Lucy but with Lily's picture

"What's this? Shouldn't Lily have her own name? It can't be a typo right?" She asked

"I had the same thought but for them to hide something like this it can't be a mistake right?" Clara said

"From this, it seems like they were trying to erase someone's identity, they are twins but not identical so they can't be mixed, they were definitely trying to tease on of them existence but why?" Victor said

"Who are you?" Thaddeus question made the rest give him strange gazes

Lucy smiled "what do you mean? I've always been me Lucy!" She said

Victory felt a full down her spine when the girl glanced at her "it's you isn't? The girl I met that night?" She asked

"I warned you Victory, don't blame for the consequences" Lucy said and stood up, scanning the room, she looked at the house in distain, anger boiling in her as she yelled "garbage…." She said and smashed several vases on the floor, looking at a portrait on the wall she smiled evil and said "13, Lisabi street…" she then ran out, Thaddeus, Richard, Victor and Victory cadesse after her but she had disappeared from their sight

"What's going to happen now?" Victory asked

************

In the hospital, Mr Agbebi looked at the time on his watch and said "in the next four days, you'll be receiving your promotion letter" he looked at Dr Mohammed and laughed evilly

************

Back at the old man's house Clara paced back and forth seeming restless, ever since Lucy left she just could not remain calm

"13, Lisabi street is where my son lives" the old man said

"She's going there, that's where she is let's go now" Victory said

"We can't, your friend may not seem to be the person she is, we don't know what's inside her that's possessing her and looking at it the only sieving person in the photo are Mr Agbebi and Mr Suliman" Victor said

"Lucy is not a killer!" Victory rebutted

"I know but the thing possessing her may be!"

"Get a hold of yourself Adelusi, don't let your emotion get the best of you"

A man's voice said which was clearly Mr Agbebi, everyone's attention instantly turned towards the projector

"My daughter's is on the sick bed, unconscious with no one to tell me the cause!" Mr Adelusi said tensed

"Relax she will not die, she only has to beer this for a while then everything will be fine afterwards" Mr Agbebi said " look Botigar and Suliman are already living in luxury if she survive this we are next" he added

"What of Lucy how do I explain this to the old woman?"

Mr Agbebi sighed in frustration "Lucy's dead"

"Lucy's dead"

The word replied countless times in everyone that was in the room ears, Lucy's dead? How?

Victory wanted to say something but it needed up just getting stuck in her throat

"Of course I know she is dead" He hesitated "we used her... we used her for this ritual that's why those two are swimming in luxury but how would I explain it to her sister Lily when she wakes up!"

"The old man said she will loose her memory the day her twin sister dies which is today, il speak to the doctor for you we can just cook up some story,change Lily's name to Lucy, relocate to a place where no one knows you and act as if 'Lucy' never existed"

The video ended

The expression on the peoples face in the room could not be explained, their throat was tight it was as if to speak was a very hard exercise, the people with the worst feeling were Victory and the old man, all the luxury they've enjoyed in this life was from the blood of a young girl

A phone rang dragging them out of space

"Hello! Where are you now? Come tomorrow " the old man said with emptinesses in his heart, no wonder she called it garbage

It is indeed garbage
