She began to see houses frequently. They must be approaching Asaba by now. She checked her network status, it had improved to two bars. She dialled buzz again. This time it didn’t announce ‘unable to complete’ but continued dialling without getting the other phone to ring.

She cut the call, waited for like Two minutes then tried again. ‘riiing….riiiing’ It was ringing!

When Andy and Jimoh got to the hospital, Rex and Bami were awake.

Andy shook his head in disbelief as he looked at his friends. Even though shaking his head gave him a headache. His friends looked like…….he couldn’t even think of a word. Swollen eyes, crooked noses bandaged tightly, puffy lips split open and glistening from some kind of ointment that had been rubbed on it to make it soy quick.
“Andy….what’s going on….who’s in Benue….? The note….wait help me stand up bro” Rex said as he struggled to sit up
“ahh….I think you should remain horizontal” Andy said, actually he himself didn’t have the strength to help.
Rex sighed then called to his assistant “Jimoh come help me sit up..”
“yes sir…” the young man looked uncertain but hurried to his side nevertheless
“uuuuuhn……!” Rex groaned as he sat up “please help position the pillow on my back…”

Bami had been quiet all along, just staring at the ceiling and Andy wobbled to his side “how’re you doing man?”
“i feel like poo….where’s my wife?”
“errrm….I think she had to go to Benue to check on the family”
“Andy I need to get out of here!” both Rex and Bami said together

The wife in question directed Buzz to the taxi. The agent made to sit in front but Tonye blocked him “no, no….its better you sit behind”
he nooded then slid into the car unaware Clyde strolled out of the hospital that very minute. Tonye glanced at Clyde and tilted her head. The agent immediately went round the car to the other side and yanked the door open. Tonye brought her gun out and slid in through the other door. She and Clyde had Buzz sandwiched perfectly inbetween them, Their guns pressed aginst his sides.
That was when his phone began to ring
“aren’t you gonna answer that?” Tonye asked
“errmm….” he glanced from her to Clyde “what’s going on ma….what’s going on Buddy….what happened?”
“you’re going to tell us who you helped get in the house….the crazy bitch you talked about earlier”
“I don’t understand…..what do you mean?” he asked with a straight face that Tonye almost shot him in the ribs. instead she raised her gun and smacked him hard on the temple.

Clyde dug into Buzz’s pockets and brought out the phone which was still ringing he handed it to Tonye.
She picked the line but remained silent.
“hello, Buzz….do you hear me…I need you to disappear right now…your cover has…….hello, Buzz?”
“Listen to me and listen good….you better not harm one hair on that baby’s head….whatever you want…we will get it to you for Emma’s safe return….but know this for what you did to Olivia…I would not rest until I-”
“Oh shut up….you people don’t even have no idea what is going on….running round like headless chicken….release Buzz at once….and tell Rex if he wants to see his daughter, he better rise up from whatever sick bed he is and start doing as he is told because he has a lot of-”

“hello….hello!!” Tonye shouted into the receiver but the call was lost.
