PART 28
" ONCE UPON A TIME "

" I am a friend and not a foe!" The driver said looking around the car for signs of any human, but he saw none.

" Ha!" He screamed as he felt something heavy dropping on him. As a result, he found himself kissing the floor. He struggled to get back on his feet and pull off what had trapped him. It was a big net, so big he could not find the tip of it as he struggled to get it off him.

" Egungun lon ri" ( The masquerade is the one walking).... The driver repeated the coded statement. He believed it was the forest guards that trapped him.

Rogers and Pastor Greg who unfortunately could not get out of the car because of the charm that had locked them to their seats, looked at each other exchanging facial expressions that spoke a multitude of words.

" We are dead!" Was Rogers words in his head

" My Spiritual Antenna can not even detect what is going on right now" Was Pastor Greg's thoughts...

Like a response to their confused thoughts, a group of cannibalistic humans emerged from the forest. Rogers had only seen humans like that in some foreign horror movies, he never thought they really existed. They had the form of humans but some of their features looked more exaggerated than the average human. Their ears were longer, their nose bigger and lips wider...

" Jesus Christ!" Pastor Greg managed to exclaim...

" Only Him can save us right now!" The driver exclaimed as he looked through the net hole.

The group divided into mini groups. One group hopped towards the car and pulled the occupants out in excitement as they gave screeching sounds. While the second group hopped towards the driver. Two of the human like creature jumped down from a tree close to the car. Obviously, they were responsible for the net trap.

" Please! We are sorry....I believe you want people to kill, we are into the same business... Although we have not met each other before, but I work with the Casso butchers just five miles from here... I can give you these ones I was taking to our base.." The driver said in defense...

" Shut Up!" One of them said with a raspy and croaky voice....

"Take them ...." He said

***********
Harry was begining to believe the woman must have been a criminal in her early days or better still a prostitute because she knew her way around.

Harry had seen how she had handed money to the immigration officers that had stopped them on the road. They had stopped at over 25 checkpoints.

Earlier, Harry was not planning to take his car into the country. Like old times he was planning to drop off his vehicle with a friend and board a bus going to the border of Seme. On getting to the border; he and Rachel would have trekked a little bit further from the Petrol station that the bus will stop. Afterwards, take a bike that will take them across the border. After crossing the border; board a taxi to continue their journey into Cotonou, but here was the Witch taking a car. However, to Harry's disappointment, she was doing a good job at making the officials let them go ....

Harry had to pinch himself to be sure he wasn't sleeping when he drove unhindered through the border. She had paid their way through....

" I think we should find a place to rest for the night. The Priest's place is quite far and my legs are hurting already." Harry said. He needed a detour. He needed a place where they could rest for the night and in the middle of the night sneak away with Rachel...

" Ok..." Kemi agreed. Just what she needed. She needed a detour so she could sneak out for her secret backup plan.

*******
The Scenario playing out in front of him was like the Lion scenario he had seen few hours earlier, but this time around, Pastor Greg, Nnamdi's Boss and the driver were like the Kidnapped Animals. They had been locked in an iron cage fit for keeping wild animals in the Zoo.

Round about them were preying eyes of over 200 hungry looking humans ready to devour them. The driver was the only agile one amongst them. Pastor Greg looked towards his left, he saw how Useless Nnamdi's Boss looked.

Suddenly, Silence fell upon the camp.

" What's Wrong?" Pastor Greg thought...

NYSC WITH ALICE  ©Tomisin E. Adebisi EPISODE 64 (Not edited)  Tola saw Sarah lying on the bed with her face down, covering herself with a wrapper, she heard her sobbing under the wrapper.  Tola stood behind the door for some time, then she moved closer and sat beside her on the bed, "Sarah," She called.

"It's okay," Tola said petting her on her back, Sarah cried for a long time then wiped her tears and rested on the back of the bed. "What would you like to eat?"
