The Darkest Hour - Season 2 - Episode 39

“We shall be back then” Mrs Williams stood up and walked out followed by her daughter and Mike. Ugonma also rushed out. Since she didn’t know Monica’s name, she called, “Udoka”

Monica looked back as she wanted to enter into the car. Her mother and Mike were already inside waiting for her.
“Sorry i called you that” Ugonma went closer. “That’s simply because i don’t know your name. Nevertheless, i only want you to calm down. I believe my brother isn’t in his right senses. I know him more than anybody. Something must be wrong somewhere. I apologise on his behave, please”

Monica averted her eyes from her after she concluded. She entered into the car without saying anything. Ugonma couldn’t remember the last time someone snubbed her in that manner but she endured it. She watched them
drove away before she entered inside.

FUMBI HOSPITAL 5:41pm
Inside the theater, Udoka la!d face up. She was supported with an artificial oxygen for easy respiration. One could see bandages round her body. Her eyes were closed as if she was dead. She had no knowledge of anything happening at the moment or around her. At the four corners of the bed were policemen keeping watch as instructed by Mrs Williams. Outside the hospital were also two policemen standing at the entrance of the hospital. In their hands were guns positioned for a sudden attack. One could see cars and ambulance packed at one side of the vicinity-both old and new. Just then Skiddy entered. He was
shocked when he saw the policemen coz he had a gun with him on the side of his waist. Even the policemen suspected him from the type of locomotion he exhibited. When he drew closer, one of them said, “Stop there!”

Skiddy stopped with a smile. He knew the next thing they would do was to search him, so he swiftly brought out the gun and shot the two men to death then moved forward again. The sound
of the gun did not only alert the other men inside the theater but also the nurses and patients who gripped in fear..

At Mr Robinson’s apartment, he was really mad at his son, David.
“What nonsense!” he began standing up while David was still on the cushion. “I trained you to be responsible but what are you giving me back in return? Shame! May God help you if i find out
that the pregnancy is yours. Nonsense!” he turned to his wife. He couldn’t think of the words to use on her, therefore he said, “You! you! okay” he walked inside
his bedroom while the wife followed him. Yet, David said nothing but stared at a spot. However, Ugonma had been looking at him from behind. That wasn’t the David she knew and grew up with. So she gently sat beside him on the couch.

“David, tell me the truth, what
happened? Did you actually do it? I mean impregnat Udoka. And what did she do to you?” Ugonma used the best of her meek voice.

David looked at her angrily, he hissed then stood up to his room.

Back to the hospital, nurses and patients began to run up and down. Meanwhile, the policemen inside the theater had
positioned very well. Already, Danny and Sky had come inside with their guns too. They were entering every ward insearch of Udoka. Suddenly, Skiddy grabbed one of the nurses and pointed a gun at her.
“Where is the girl brought in here hours ago? Her name is Udoka” he asked.
“Inside the theater” the nurse terrified.
“Go show me the room!” Skiddy pushed her forward. Immediately they opened the theater door, a gunshot was head all over the hospital. Danny and Sky followed the sound of the gunshot. As they drew closer to the theater too, they were shot on the legs thereby crippling them. From there, they understood that the gunshot they heard was shot on
Skiddy when they saw him dead on the floor. The nurse who followed him had already fainted hearing and seeing him die in her presence. Quickly, the policemen took the men’s guns. However, Udoka was still safe, though
didn’t know what was happening. One of the policemen brought out his phone.
“This is 101, send down a vehicle to Fumbi hospital immediately” he said.
Meanwhile, others had went outside just to see their fellow policemen dead..
