“Hey baby!” Emery Jack sounded in a pleasant voice as the call was answered.“Hello Dad! We were on our way from the airport but now going to the police office. Some police officers followed us from the airport and have arrested Henry.” Sheila replied him hurriedly.“What is the reason for his arrest?” Emery Jack asked, the cheerfulness in his voice reduced. “They didn’t tell me, they sounded like he’s been wanted for long and they accused him of trying to hide.”Emery Jack noisy release of breath could be heard over the phone. He was silent for almost thirty seconds before he spoke again. “Sheila, keep me updated with anything that happens, we can only watch right now.”“Dad! Can’t you call the police overseer and demand for his release?” She queried in a frustrated tone.“Things don’t work that way Sheila, we don’t know why he was arrested. I can’t ask for his release. You know he could be truly guilty,” Emery Jack answered.“But Dad, we know he’s a different person now. He doesn’t
Tom’s ApartmentEl Deols, AnthannaTom hurried into his bedroom to get his ringing phone. He had dropped it there when he went to get a bottle of wine from the bar. The table was dirty with traces of weed and some powdery substances. He smoked and drank everyday since Sheila had left him. Since he was exposed already, he thought there was no need suppressing his lifestyle anymore.He picked up the phone and checked the screen. His friend Stan was calling.“Hey Stan! What’s up?” He said after answering the call.“Hey dude! Phil has landed himself in trouble.”“What has he done again?” Tom asked.“He arranged some men to dress up as cops to get that Sheila’s bodyguard yesterday,” Stan replied.“What are you talking about?”“Remember you told us when we met at the club that Sheila was going to return from South Husan with the dude yesterday?”“Yeah, I did.” Tom replied and picked a wrap of weed. “And you remember Phil told us he would pull up a surprise.”“Oh! I remember.”“So he planned
Sheila quivered in fear at their number. The men were numbering up to thirty and most of them had weapons in their hands. Her whole body trembled in fright and she began to feel her knees buckling.A scene flashed quickly through Henry’s mind. It was blurry. He saw some angry looking men in the vision, holding metal rods and lashing someone on the ground desperately. The man on the ground was him.Henry shook his head vigorously to wave off the flashing scenes. He took a look at Sheila and reached for her hand, all he had on his mind was how to ensure Sheila was kept safe from harm.He stared at the mean looking men, he knew none of them and he wasn’t sure he had done them any wrong but it was so obvious that these men were ready to give him the beating of his life.The men closed in on them slowly. Henry began to wonder how he was going to take down such a number of people. Another scene flashed through his mind at moment and he saw himself this time on a bridge with a large number m
2 Hours laterSheila got up from the seat and ran after the Doctor as soon as she spotted him coming out of the hallway with two nurses and heading in direction of his office. One of the ladies sitting beside Sheila also got up and followed, but not closely.“Doctor,” she called as she ran after him.The doctor glanced back at her but continued walking, only reducing his speed enough for her to catch up.“Doctor, is he okay? Is he going to survive?” Sheila asked in a shaky voice.The men at the warehouse had left them after Henry lost consciousness. They helped each other up and moved out quickly while Sheila knelt beside Henry’s body, shouting for help with no one listening. Seven minutes later, all the men were out of sight and the main entrance through which Henry and Sheila came opened by itself. Sheila ran out hoping she would find any of the policemen around but she found none, she called passersby for help and also made calls with her phone. With the help of two men, Henry was

29: 07: 2015Location : El Deols, Anthanna, Africa.Time: 15:17PMLutheran Hospital, El Deols.The atmosphere in the hospital was cool and calm. The tiled floor of the hospital shone through the reflection of the bright lights from the white bulbs, testifying to the diligent work of the cleaners who took care of the floor. The white painted walls and the medical calendars and postals on them added to the beauty of the hospital. The Doctors and Nurses smartly dressed in their white overalls and gowns went about their responsibilities as quiet as possible. But even with so much beauty seen in the building of the hospital, no beauty was seen on the faces of those at the reception except a few whose cases were that of successful child birth.In one of the wards at the Intensive Care Unit of the hospital laid a six feet two inches tall man. Even in the hospital bed, the features of his well built muscled body was a sight to behold. In his state he was a perfect description of a sleeping li
Lutheran Hospital, El Deols, Anthanna. Tom watched in disgust as Sheila ran up the stairs in the direction of the Intensive Care Unit. He wondered why she was so excited about a total stranger and his wellbeing. He had never supported keeping the stranger on life support and discouraged her everyday, giving her strong reasons of how the hospital bills were taking so much of her money. He had refused when she asked for his assistance in taking care of the bills and she summoned the courage to take it all up by herself without asking help from anyone else. Sheila was the only daughter of a successful Businessman, a billionaire named Emery Jack. But even with her father’s wealth, she was hardworking and had made so much for herself at a very young age. She was a business owner herself, running a consulting firm and also a website where she gives information about small business opportunities and ideas, and also mentors others. Tom was the second son of Emery Jack’s friend, Harry Wills
