Epic 14 Just as Peter opened his eyes, he caught note of the glittering silver shoe. Then he looked up to find Lisa smiling at him. “Hello babe”. She whispered as Peter gazed at her, shocked. “Lisa?”. He whispered in disbelief as Lisa shook her head. “Yes babe”. She let out with excitement while smiling at Peter. “Don't give me that look okay, we should proceed with the test and transfusion already. If she is having internal bleeding, then I don't see the need for the delay”. Lisa let out as the doctors seconded her immediately. “Don't worry sweetheart. She is my subject as well”. Lisa added before following the nurses to enter the nurse's room, where her sample was collected. “How is she?" Peter asked as Lisa approached him, her steps faltering slightly. Lisa let out a shaky breath, her hands clenched at her sides. "The doctors say the transfusion went well. Her condition is still critical, but they're hopeful that with rest and continued treatment, she'll pull through." Pete
Epic 15 Getting into the room, Peter was awed by the decoration of the inside. He couldn't believe his house could be decorated in such an amazing way. “You did this?”. Peter muttered surprised as Lisa nodded generously. “You like it?”. She whispered. “Of course, it's absolutely amazing”. Peter said “This is supposed to be my job”. They let out with shyness, as they approached the staircase. Lisa had decorated the stairs with rose flowers, down to the dining where she prepared a delicious meal. “You didn't have to go through all this stress”. Peter whispered as she picked up one of the rose flowers and placed it on Lisa's hair. “It looks beautiful on you”. He muttered while giving off a sweet smile. “Yeah, it's more beautiful now that you have said it. Come on, let's go in. You need to shower and of course, we need to hurry so that we can go and bring Nora and Jessy back”. Lisa added as she grabbed Peter's wrist and led him upstairs Peter kept observing in shock as Lisa did al
KyrianIt's already nine years since Mr Dada broke the news about his retirement to Timi and me, and exactly five years after he sent us outside to join the military, Timi and I decided to come back and serve our Fatherland. It's been a rough ride and we are finally going to set things right.It's already been sixteen years since I lost my parents yet it still looks like yesterday, Lagos state didn't change, just a few buildings having the same crime. Not to talk of so many disturbing nightmares I had just by staying a few days here, even the land hunts. “There was a murder case of a lady at Festac”. Timi had said as he started to put on his clothes. I just wore my dark green top and followed him. Before we even got there, other inspectors were there and the crime scene was already surrounded by a crowd but Timi and I managed to force ourselves in. The lady's face was already covered and about to be put in the ambulance.“What happened?!”. I asked one of the inspectors before he let
KyrianI drove back to the station with a troubled heart. How about the shoe I saw in her bathroom? Maybe it belongs to her boyfriend. If the man was this overprotective towards her, why does she keep throwing herself at Mr Ken? How about Mr Ken's death? Could it be her boyfriend that shot him or Inspector John?! I just couldn't wrap the whole situation up until Timi and Dan returned from Genesis Mall.“Were you able to gather some information?”. I asked anxiously as Timi and Dan sat down “Well, we were able to gather some information, and trust me it isn't something we will be discussing here, how about we go somewhere far from the office?”. Timi whispered as I took my car key and cell phone that was on the table.“Let's go”. I whispered before the three of us left.“We can't trust anyone, how about we go to my house?”. Dan mumbled.“Okay, that isn't a bad idea, right Timi?”. I let out as Timi supported me.In not less than twenty-five minutes we were already in Dan's apartment.“So
KyrianWhile we walked with the guy, several times he kept beating his chest and muttering "Who can defeat me in this area, me Shaki?! It can not happen". I couldn't but believe that his name was Shaki.“We came with a car, would you like to join us in our car, or would you rather prefer trekking?!”. I asked and immediately Timi started to complain about his legs aching badly.“Why your friend dey do like that na?! Oya make we enter motor before he go faint here”. He had said nicely before joining us in our car, I passed him a can of Budweiser, while taking ours as well. Immediately, he cocked it open and finished the drink within some seconds.“Wow! Seems you love Bud…?”. Timi had asked before he replied faintly and gradually fell asleep.“We need to handcuff him as soon as possible”. I whispered to Timi who brought out his handcuff and cuffed him immediately, before he could even wake up we were already at the station.“Na wetin be this?”. Shaki had said arrogantly as he woke up w
Kyrian“What is this?”. I whispered to myself while opening the message.“Did Dan send a message to you?”. I asked him surprised but he shook his head.“What happened?!” he uttered while looking at me surprised.“He sent a "help me!" message to me. We need to go and see him immediately”. Even before I could complete my statement Timi was already in his car.I watched how furious Timi became as he drove the car, he even obtained a scratch from the rush. I doubt if he even knew about it, he was bleeding seriously on his hand.“You are bleeding”. I muttered but he ignored me and continued speeding up.“You should calm down, you know, he is going to be fine”. I whispered but he ignored me and even increased the speed.“You are going to get us killed”. I whispered.“He is in big trouble”. He whispered finally in his deep tone as I got even more confused.Maybe he knows why he is in danger.“Still, you should slow down so that you don't get us killed”. I whispered but it was clearly on deaf
KyrianI immediately dragged Timi outside. “What is the problem? And please don't tell me you are alright”. Timi still kept mute as I took him inside the car when I got a call from Dan.“I'll be right back, please try and be fine”. I mumbled before leaving him.While I was walking towards the emergency room, I noticed the old woman was still looking at me, I tried to ignore her but froze instantly when she whispered my name.“Kyrian". She had said in a low tone and a slight cough.“Who are you?”. I said anxiously while moving towards her.“My name is Christy, you have a striking resemblance with one of my brother's child that has been missing for days. Are you the one?”. The Lady muttered almost in tears. I looked at her confused, there was nothing of her I could remember besides my Dad was an only Child.“No ma'am I only paused because I noticed how you have been looking at me for a while now, my name isn't even Kyrian and my parents are very much alive. My brother got involved in a
KyrianI was totally confused seeing the picture in front of me, I felt insane for a moment. There was only one voice that I could hear, the sweet voice of my mum whispering "You can do this". “So who is Shaki?”. I muttered hopelessly as Timi shook his head while looking at me “What is wrong with the both of you? I am trying to get things in order and you are confusing me all the more, what is going on?! You both screamed "Shaki!" As if you saw a ghost, yet the two of you are the same people asking me who Shaki is, are you insane?!”. Inspector John screamed angrily as he looked furiously at Timi and me.“We are sorry Sir”. We mumbled together.The rest of the statements Inspector John made afterwards were all history as I kept looking at the man in the picture dumb. He wasn't even close to looking like Shaki. Meaning, that Shaki is most likely to be the terror we have been looking for, for years and yet we allowed him to sleep away from us. How could I have made such a costly mistak
