6:30pm
The day gradually began to get dark. David came out from his room as if he was being controlled by a spirit. He found her father’s car key on the center table and took it outside. Just as he wanted to enter the car, Ugonma, his sister, came out.
“David, what are you doing?” she asked going closer to him. “Where are you going to with Dad’s car?” she held the front door of the car thereby preventing David from closing it but David pushed her away without a word.
“Dad! Dad!” Ugonma rushed inside to call the father. Before they ran outside, David was already gone. Mr Robinson put his hands on the waist thinking critically.
“Dad, Something is wrong with David oh! You people should do something now!” Ugonma said bitterly.
“Don’t worry, he will come back and meet me here” the father went into the house again.
“From the look of things, he will not come back oh!” Ugonma concluded..

AT THE POLICE STATION 7:00PM
:
Nobody believed that someone like Sandra could take the life of her fellow girl. For what reason? The police, Mrs Williams and others were about to find out. They could see Sandra and Mike sitting on the floor with handcolfs.
“What’s Mike doing here?” Faith
murmured.
“Mike!” Ernest called out. “What are you doing here?”
“I’m innocent oh” Mike began. “I was on my own and they carried me!” he cried.
Hearing that, Sandra disdained him. Nobody talked to him again coz he was a suspect.
“I never knew you are so evil!” Mrs Williams said glaring at Sandra. “What did my daughter do to you that you wanted to take her life?”
The question made everywhere calm down coz all wanted to hear her out but Sandra kept quiet. She knew that even if she talks, she would still die coz her life span remained few hours.

“Speak!” a policeman shouted and hit her with the head of a gun but Sandra remained mute. The officer looked at Mike. “What relationship do you have with her and what do you know?” he asked.

“She’s just my friend. I don’t know
anything oh” Mike replied.
“You don’t want to say the truth” the officer wanted to hit him too but Mrs Williams prevented him.

“Retain them and make them speak before they are taken to court” she said then walked out followed by others.

10: 42pm
Darkness had taken over the atmosphere, yet David had not returned. Where has he gone to? Ugonma and her parents became restless. They were outside the house hopping that David would come back. Already, the father had been boiling in anger. He wore a trouser without a singlet coz the weather was hot. His hands rested on his waist. The wife sat on the pavement likewife Ugonma. She was already shedding unseen tears.
“I said it, but nobody believed me. David won’t come back again” Ugonma said.
“Where has my only son gone to?” Mrs Robinson cried. “Please, Nnayi, go look for my son oh! Better go look for him coz you caused it”
“How am i the cause?!” the husband glared at her.

“Aren’t you the one that threaten to deal with him if truly he’s responsible for that stupid girl’s pregnancy”
“Nonsense!” Mr Robinson looked at Ugonma. “Call anybody in his school to know whether he’s there” he instructed.
Instantly, Ugonma rushed inside. She had nobody’s number but Udoka.
