Episode 4
“My friend will you shut up” the giant man slammed.
“sir please if you drop me l won’t come here again” l begged.
“Well, if you had thought of that earlier you wouldn’t be on my shoulder right now”
“Is this man trying to kidnap me or what?” I thought to myself
“Mehgbamio! help!! help me oo!!! he his taking me to where l don’t know” l shouted continuously on his shoulder.
“Do you need a loud speaker and microphone? he asked mockingly.
“cause you will shout till infinity” he added.
“ah! Ulekwu (l am dead) this man is really kidnapper, this was why l never wanted embarking on this ultimate search” l exclaimed.
I wonder the type of food he eats that really mad him look like a human gorilla, the only difference was he was hairless.
He dropped me at an entrance of something that looks likes hut but they call it prison and ordered me to enter but l refused we both drag like an ant and elephant, l once heard a story of a fight between ant and elephant which the Ant later won but my case was different. He forcefully dragged me like a back of rice into the dark prison room and locked me there.
“you will be here until the police arrives” He said and left.
“Who is/are the police? are there the one who buys people who are been kidnapped or what?”
“well l am very much prepared for them,
“is like this people don’t know how stubborn l can be, l shall be waiting for them” l muttered to myself.
I waited in the room for a couple of minutes imagining how l was going to show them how stubborn l can be before some men on black came into the room and dragged me out.
if not for the sticks in their hands l can’t beat them purple and yellow.
“Young man you are under arrest” said one slim police man that look like expired sugar cane.
“under arrest for what? For searching for a mising person or what exactly” l fired at him.
“You have to remain silent now for wh@ťěver you say or do now will be use against you in the court of law” he exclaimed.
“what is your work exactly?” l asked.
“if it might interest you to know, my work, our work and the police work is to protect lives and properties” he exclaimed.
“quite interesting, but are you protecting me or intimidating me sir” l questioned.
“officer seems he’s taking us for granted let move this stup!d man out here” another port bellied police man insisted when nobody asked for his opinion.

“who do you think you are and who is the stup!d man you referring to?” l fired at him.
“Please young man l will advice you remain silent for now, as you have a lot to answer when we get to the station” said the previous police man who l have be speaking with.
“no problem, If not for you and your gentle soul, l will not leave here or follow you to anywhere” l replied.
“thank for your co-operation can you get into the car now” he said pointing towards a truck beside us.
“it’s as if you begging this man oo” the port belly police man exclaimed.
I got into the car and we zoomed off. After some minutes we arrived at their destination and we all came off the car.
“is this the proclaimed police station” l asked the friendly police man.
“yes it is, feel free the police is your friend once we get in there just narrate everything that happened and do not be rude to anybody here despite they are all your friend they can all change at the same time” he cautioned.
“am quite sure you are just ignorant of how things goes here” he added.
“Thank you but am not thief” i said.
“Don’t worry that why l said you should narrate everything that happen” he said.
we entered the station and l was taking to the counter after some minutes about getting to an hour of being at the counter l was summoned to come and write a statement, l narrated everything that happen and was granted bail do to my ignorance.
while l was walking out of the station with the friendly police man discussing about my twin brother, a woman coming with a man ran and hugged me.
“Talib my son how did you escape the kidnappers? did the police came to your rescue?” she asked.
“madam sorry who is talib and who is your son” l asked in confusion.
