" ONCE UPON A TIME "

Like a Flash, Kemisola got to the Ward. There was no one on the bed. Kemisola walked to the bed, she didn't want to believe that Rachel was not on the bed. She removed the bed cover hoping that somehow Rachel was under the sheets....
" Ma, are you looking for something?" A voice asked from behind
" Yes, the girl...Rachel"
" She has been discharged. Her uncle insisted he wanted to go traditional..."
" Which Uncle? She doesn't have an uncle..." Kemisola screamed
" Erm...it was one of the men who had been visiting"
" I brought her here. How could you discharge a patient I brought...I brought her here. I am going to sue this hospital..." Kemisola said in disbelief
" Madam, if you can race to the parking lot, you might still catch up with him. I wheeled her to his car." The Nurse said
Kemisola didn't waste any second as she raced down the stairs. She didn't know why she was doing what she was doing, but every fibre of her being was drawn towards saving Rachel.
" I have let a lot of lives die on my account, so saving this one is a must. It's either I save her or die trying." Kemisola swore within her.
*****
Janet didn't know that was Kemisola's running off in the distance...
" I have a friend in Ruby Ward, can I say hi to her" Janet said to the nurse...
" Sure! As long as she doesn't have a contagious disease. Let me check with the Nurses on this floor." The Nurse replied as she walked towards the Nurse's station. Rachel walked closely behind her...
" The Patient has been discharged" Janet heard the Nurse say.
Without waiting for any further words, Janet rushed off to Ruby Ward. The room was indeed empty.
" She just left my room!" Janet said screaming
" Who? " The Nurse asked calmly
" The Patient's Aunty"
" Oh! She? She just went down the stairs"
Janet darted off .
" Hey! Ma..." The Nurse called out as she ran after her in hot pursuit, though her weak legs didn't cooperate with her.

Pastor Greg could see that this Car of his was not planning on stopping...
" God! Please I ask for another chance, Forgive me Please.."
Pastor Greg burst into tongues.
This car had to stop one way or the other!
His tongues sounded like fireworks...
The driver looked back...
" Oga Pastor, Keep quiet!"
" You may be able to stop me from screaming for man's help, but asking for God's help is something you can't do..."
Pastor Greg continued blasting the tongues of the Spirit that sounded like fireworks...

Kemisola saw Harry's car driving out of the hospital... Kemisola didn't know what she was supposed to do.
Her Car Key!
She felt the car key in her trouser pocket.
She raced off to her car, got in and drove after Harry's Car, but like a rat jumping out of the bushes, Janet jumped in front of the car...
" You can't leave me!" She screamed...
" No... You are a patient!" Kemi said . Kemi saw the group of hospital staff running towards the car... Kemi knew this was going to take her time... There would be a lot of back and forth. .
" Get in!" Kemi said
" Are you crazy?" Kemisola's cautioning voice screamed in her head.
Janet got in the back seat and Kemi drove out of the premises.
Kemi shook her head in disappointment at the security system of the hospital. The Security officers were looking like zombies.
Kemi had seen Harry's vehicle drive to the right. She increased her speed as she planned on catching up with Harry and Rachel...
" Where are we going?" Janet asked innocently
" Cotonou I guess!" Kemisola replied
" Wow! Really? That would be a really nice road trip" Janet said very excited.
Kemisola couldn't help the involuntary movement of her head as she looked at Janet in shock...
" Are you mad?" Kemi asked in plain terms as she was beginning to suspect that her passenger was not totally in her right frame of mind..She was probably having a mania attack. She was overly excited
" What?" Janet asked
" I mean do you have any form of mental illness I need to know about?" Kemisola asked differently
" No! I am fine!" Janet replied but followed was a fit of weird laughter.
" They thought I won't be able to survive after his death, but look at me, I am on a road trip to Cotonou..." Janet said loudly...
Kemi knew she had made a big blunder and returning Janet was not an Option at the moment as that would make her completely lose Harry...
" That's him!" Kemisola screamed.
Kemisola saw Harry's Car parked in a Petrol Station. Harry had filled his tank and was leaving.
Kemisola parked the car and ran off to block Harry's Way...
********
Harry sighted Kemisola coming his way...
" How did she find me? You see I told you, she is a witch" Harry said
" What does she want?" Rachel said very scared...
" Don't worry, she won't stop your deliverance" Harry said as he stepped on the accelerator....
" Hold on tight!" He said to Rachel
" Leave us you witch!" Harry screamed as he sped off
******
Kemisola saw how Harry was driving aggressively towards her. She quickly ran off from his front..
" Leave us you witch!" Harry screamed at her ..
" You are a ritualist! Stop the car if you know you not!" Kemisola screamed as she watch his car drive off...
" Get lost!" Harry wasn't looking forward, he was looking backwards at Kemisola. Unknowingly he crashed into a store...
