" Are you going to keep standing there?" Her mother asked " Sorry mother, she responded as she leaves to get something to clean up the broken glass. She was disrupted by the sudden phone call from Lava " Did you see the news?" Lava asked as soon as Oma had picked the call " Yes, I did..." " That means Erica escaped" he quickly answered without letting Oma finish her statement " It isn't Erica, I think it's another one" Oma told him " What?" Lava asked " Yes, Erica can't get out without her talisman; have you forgotten?" She asked him " I guess I have so much missed her" Lava said gently " You don't have to worry now, one of her own is here to get her" Oma told him " I don't know, it just doesn't feel right" Lava said silently " You feel that too?" Oma asked silently... " What if she is alone and needs help?" the both of them questioned in unison They both signed cracking up a smile " You like Erica" he told her " I care about Erica" she responded " You are also in dange
Mr. Hansel received a phone call from Idris at midnight while he was filling in some documents for the wellbeing of his people... " What's the news this time?" Mr. Hansel asked Idris " We found the creature" he answered " Was there any damage done again at the laboratory?" Mr. Hansel asked "There was no struggle, we found her lying half-dead at the storage room" Idris responded "Have you placed her back into the tank? She needs water to regain herself" Mr. Hansel said to him immediately " Yes, we did but..." Idris paused for a while " But what?" Mr. Hansel asked " I think someone is helping her" Idris responded " What do you mean by that?" Mr. Hansel asked " The CCTV camera was turned off few minutes before we found her body, the creature wouldn't have done that judging from her current state " Idris told him " It must be an insider, a novice in particular " Mr. Hansel said "Do you think Mr. Charles had a hand on this?" Idris questioned " Only one way to find out, I want y
Oma observed Imelda who was seated on the chair looking around the house, she had been like that ever since she let her into the house"You sure you don't want anything?" Oma asked her"No, I don't want to waste any time here" Imelda responded"How about Erica? how do you know her? is she okay?" Oma curiously asked wanting to know everything."You might hate me for this, you might not even believe me but; Erica needs help right now" Imelda said"I know that Erica is a mermaid, do I sound crazy too?" Oma asked her"You knew? oh goodness; this is much easier now" Imelda exhaled"Where is she? is she okay?" she asked her with so much attention"She is not because she is been used as an experiment at the laboratory" Imelda said"Experiment? how did you know that?" Oma asked in curiosity"Be...because I am one of the scientists" she responded as she saw Oma's face go dark “Don't get mad at me, I just did what I was asked to do" Imelda said to her"Why would Erica trust who hurt her?" Oma a
"And who might you be?" Lava asked her as they all stare at the woman who might be in her forty’s. "You are one of them" Oma said drawing their attention towards her "What a witty lady, you must be the brain here" Olga said to her "She is a mermaid too? How do you know that?" Lava asked looking startled as Imelda draws back in fear. "I have been around one to know what they always look like and how they act" Oma responded "How did you find us? you are the one killing those people right?" Oma questioned Olga Olga looked at her for few seconds as if she was thinking about something, she blinked her eye in pretense as tears gathered her eye "How can you say that to someone who is trying to help you? I am just here for my daughter before they find her first" Olga cried out "What do you mean by your daughter?" Imelda asked her "I need to get her back to the sea; my kingdom had a fight at the sea and i told her to escape from the sea for few days; she hasn't returned so i came in sea
Oma’s sight was blurred by her own blood as Lava stooped the car with a screech of its tires.Oma could hear Imelda and Lava calling out her name but their voice seem faint in her ears, blood was gushing out from her left abdomen where Olga had pierced open with her sharp claws."Oma!" Lava called out shaking her for her not to close her eye" Let's take her to the hospital" Imelda said with a panic voice"No one leaves here, you should have been clearer instead of trying to deceive me" Olga said to them"Why are you doing this? we have no beef with you" Lava said almost sweating as he tries to suppress Oma's blood from flowing."I am going to do anything to get what I want; I am bound to follow orders till death" Olga told them"She is going to die if we don't take her to the hospital" Imelda said"That is not my problem, it is your problem; if you want her to live, you will have to lead us to the right way" she told her"Don't listen to her" Oma managed to say, still in her own pain
(Oma's Home...)Oma's mum opened the door to welcome whoever it is on the door, she was surprised to see Linda on the door..."Linda, when did you come back from Accra?" she asked"Yesterday's evening " Linda said" That's nice, how are your family over there?" She asked her" They are good, I had missed you and Oma so much" Linda responded" Did Oma know you would be coming too because she will be really thrilled" Oma's mum said looking excited" It's a surprise, is she around?" Linda asked grinning from ear to ear" No, she left since morning and her phone is switched off; I couldn't reach to her" her mum responded" Okay, I will wait; I brought some goodies too" Linda said looking overwhelmed" Come in" Oma's mum said going inside and leaving the door open, Linda followed behind.Hospital..." Help!!" Lava shouted drawing everyone's attention the moment he had come in carrying Oma who was covered in blood." Oh my God" a voice said in awe" Get the emergency bed, and the oxygen too
Ten minutes ago...Mr. Hansel finally arrived after receiving the sudden call halfway into the building.He has been alerted about the incident going on that moment at his laboratory, he didn't want to believe it until he saw it with his own eye. he removed his glasses to see clearly the massacre on the buildings passage."What the hell happened here?" He questioned"This is not safe for you sir; remember we are not dealing with humans here" Idris told him"What about the Mermaid and the creatures? the experiments are not yet done" Mr. Hansel said"We can't get involved with them Mayor, we will handle this" Idris said again "Start the car, we are going back" Idris said againThe Chauffeur and few of the bodyguards quickly get inside the car after the mayor had entered, they drove off from the scene without hesitation.Vashi had made her way into the building two minutes before they had driven off, there was no human inside the laboratory as they have left to save their lives."Get awa

Mr. Hansel asked dressing his tie"Who could possibly put their life in danger for something like this?" Mr. Idris asked "It could be anyone who is jealous of my position trying to bring me down one way or the other" Mr. Hansel answered"Could it be Mr. Charles?"

Idris askedMr. Hansel collected back the phone from him to playback the video..."I swear on my ancestors to kill him if he has any hands on this" Mr. Hansel angrily said.They were interrupted by another mes
