……………………………………………………………………..
She said the shape she saw was like that of a woman, but the movement like a man’s. While the person approached her, she made for her gun 🔫. When the person noticed she wasn’t asleep, he/she quickly vanished. There was no sound of any door in the house being shut to show where the person entered according to her. She explained to me when I came back two days after. I called uncle Gilbert and Ike and told them what she told me. Uncle Gilbert said she should have shouted to alert them, maybe the person would been caught. But I assured them that the person must surely be caught. The following day, Uncle Ike traveled back to the village to see his family……
For two weeks that uncle Ike was away there was a great calm. My false fiancee didn’t experience any such attacks again. Since it was like everything had been calmed, she decided to leave. Two weeks later, Uncle Ike retuned.
Since I felt calmness had returned once again, I decided to get myself another woman, because I really needed to settle down. I called for a meeting once again a d informed uncles Gilbert and Ike of my decision. But that at the time being, Lisa my sister will be doing the cooking since she was on her leave at the time. Uncle Gilbert was not feeling too well and needed time to recuperate. It was agreed that he (uncle Gilbert) will rest for at least one month that Lisa would be home.
Lisa, was in the kitchen making lunch one afternoon when she noticed a shadow-like movement. Same as Amanda had explained. A person in a black overall lumberjack, had a shape of a woman and movement of a man. She couldn’t turn around because great fear gripped her.
The person was moving very close to her when I horned for the security guard (gate man) to open the gate for me me. The person quickly ran out and locked Lisa up in the kitchen. I drove in, Uncle Gilbert and Ike were outside seated and discussing. I went in after greeting them, called on my sister. She was no where around her room or the sitting, then I perceived a smell of burnt food coming from the kitchen direction. I hurriedly forced the kitchen door open only to discover my sister lying down helpless on the kitchen floor. She was unconscious. I quickly put off the gas cooker, carried her and made straight for the hospital.
Uncle Ike followed in confusion, while Uncle Gilbert couldn’t because of his ill health. After she had regained consciousness hours later, she narrated everything that happened to me and uncle Ike. She said it’s like a ghost 👻 lives in our house. Because she couldn’t explain where the person entered from or vanished to. Because she left uncle Gilbert and Ike outside discussing. I called my friend Amanda and explained what happened to her, she told me there was nothing like a ghost, the the enemy(ies) is or are within. And that they will be caught.
She asked me to meet her somewhere so we could plan and restrategize on what to do next. Lisa was discharged later that day, I took her to a guest house to fully recover. Because she had told me that what she saw will hunt her for a very long time. So I didn’t want to take any chances, because she’s all I’ve got left in this world. She warned me to be careful, that the enemy or enemies might actually be within.
I left her in the guest house and went straight to see Amanda. She (Amanda) told me to get a woman, take her to the house, do the introduction as usual. We agreed that she will come over to the house, but it has to be a day when the both uncles will not be around. The thing is that they hardly go out, I had to deceive them and take them out on the agreed day.
Because if Amanda should come back to the house, it might be difficult for whoever that’s been responsible to want to do anything. But the plot to get hold of the killer has to be between the girl (my new woman), Amanda and myself. And our plans was well carried out. On that very day, I introduced the lady to them, Amanda was in one of my cars outside. I deceived uncle Gilbert and Ike that I want them to follow me for a walk down the street. So that Amanda can sneak to my room. My security guard (gate man) was also aware of the plot……..
