Final Episode
When I banged the first time, I heard the officer inquire from whoever was there where the loud voice was coming from, I decided to use the opportunity to bang the more, and with curiosity, the officers told James to open his car boot which he did, cause he was so sure he didn’t put any of the dead bodies in the boot. As soon as he opened it, I fell down to the floor and that startled everyone including James, oh well, James wasn’t startled, he was shocked, he didn’t believe I would hide in such a place.
The officers helped me up and inquired what happened, I told them everything starting from when I went to the house with Rose, I further begged the officers to help the other girls. James was handcuffed and ordered to take them to where the whole thing happened, after much resistance from James, they finally left.
I stayed with the only officer left to look after me, I cried and thanked God for saving my life, and I also begged him to save the life of Rose, I couldn’t sleep, It was almost midnight, I kept praying. After what seemed like forever, the officers came back with the six men and without any of the girls. I stood up immediately, refusing to believe what my mind was telling me, I rushed to the officers and inquired of the girls, they all shook their head in pity, and one of them said “I am sorry, none of the girls was found alive, they were all butchered into pieces, just thank God for your life” and he walked past me
I couldn’t shout nor cry, I was numb, my heart was blank, I wasn’t thinking straight, so Rose was no more, and that was how I would have died because I wanted a short cut to a soft life.
THE END
