I saw a car that looks like one of my parents own that's the car missing in our garage and its burning I parked the car and I came out with a fire extinguisher I move towards the car spraying the extinguisher to curb some of the flames at the door side and I opened the car mum burning body fell down and I offed the fire that was burning on her and I offed the flames on the car all she could say was

''go pls Kidnappers are here''

' who are the kidnappers, why would they burn mum car [looking at the car that still look okay] who will drive this car away from here so I can go out of this mess and give Mum a befitting burial ' I thought then I called our gateman with Mum phone because I forgot mine at home.

20 MINUTES LATER

I waited for the gateman looking around the corner it was late its already 11;30 PM almost midnight as I was calling his number he wasn't picking the call, then I saw him running holding a gun because all security in that estate is entitled to just a gun as he was running towards me, a bullet hit him from the back and he was shot dead. I started to run and some men holding gun were chasing me and the outran me and cover my nose with a handkerchief and before I knew it I had lost my consciousness and fell down I couldn't stand up.

I woke up and my head was paining me it was an headache and I haven't been in this kind of place before, and I cant remember entering this place at all, I tried to stand up but my leg was tied and it was aching too. My hands and mouth were tied, it was only my nose that wasn't covered. Suddenly I heard a woman voice she was shouting is like she is been raped. On the right side I heard a man making a noise and a voice of Steaming Iron is like they are pressing steam on him. I heard the sound of dogs its like they are up to three. Suddenly I received two slaps and two hefty men's carried me up because I was short and they opened a tape in my mouth finally I could talk.

''Let me go'' Ben said.

''Shut up'' A man said from the back and he slapped me which made me cry.

I climbed a stair as we were walking I was afraid not to fall because I couldn't see and I wanted to eat I was very hungry and I was holding my stomach and an Igbo man walked up to me and I touched him I think he is wearing a Taxido. As I was rubbing my stomach the man asked me

''Hez what happen you wan chop'' The man said which name was Kenga.

''Yes sir can you give me water'' Ben asked.

''u na bi mami water ni [are you a mermaid]'' Kenga said and I couldn't answer him because I don't know what he his saying maybe his joking.

''[a chubby man hit me on my back and pushed me to the front] Move, boss want to see you'' Tunji said.
