particular as he rushed into the hospital
reception, he had a pot belly which clearly
showed it round signs from the neatly ironed
shirt.
He turned to Lovina who was sitting in the
reception sofa with the driver, three uniformed
policemen were seen standing beside them.
‘How’s your sister?’ The man asked again.
‘Loveth is fine’ Lovina answered, folding her
arms as she stood up with tears formed in her
eyes. ‘The doctor said she didn’t lose much
blood because we brought her in early, they just
have to take out the bullet’
‘Thank God!’ He exclaimed, rubbing his palms in
the air in appreciation. He turned to the three
policemen that stood beside Lovina, ‘but how
did it happen? Who was the criminal that tried
to kill my Loveth?’
‘We don’t know sir, but our men are after him
and would surely get him’ one of the officers
replied.
He turned back to Lovina, ‘I think you should go
back to school now since Loveth is already on
treatment. I’ll see the doctors’
‘Huh?’ Her eyes widened in disbelief. ‘Dad! That
guy tried to shoot me also’she exclaimed.
‘The criminal is already being pursued by the
police, he can’t come after you again’ he
reassured. ‘These officers would also follow you
there’
‘Dad, I’m scared’ she said as she ran into his
warm embrace. ‘I don’t think I’m stable enough
to fly the plane anymore’
‘Don’t be scared dear, my enemies have failed’
he said, patting her on the back. ‘I’m sure they
only want to stop you from flying the plane
successfully’
‘Would you go with me Dad?’ She looked into
his eyes and asked.
‘No’ he replied, he could read the
disappointment in her eyes. ‘I have to stay with
your sister’
‘Ok’ she agreed hesitatingly, ‘ I’ll go’
She picked up her bag and looked at her father
again for reassurance before she walked out of
the hospital, two officers and the driver
followed.
The man sat into the sofa where Lovina where
Lovina got up from, he ignore the gazes of
other waiters in the reception and buried his
face in his palm. He wondered who it could be
that attacked his daughters, he wondered who
wanted them dead. Loveth, Lovina’s twin sister
was a student of the university of Enugu and
had come on a short break to grace the special
event with her sister. The assailant’s target
was surely Lovina but the great resemblance of
the twins must have confused him and he
decided to shoot both but failed.
Jude paced the floor, already getting impatient
waiting for Lovina. He was already dressed in
his pilot’s uniform, the flight was to take off in
the next twenty minutes and he was to walk
out with his partner and pass through the
security protocols before going to settle in the
airplane.
His mind became at rest when he noticed a
figure behind him, he heaved a sigh of relief.
‘Lovina, why did …’ He was saying at he turned
to look at the figure. His sorrow returned when
he turned back to see Gloria dressed in a pilot
uniform.
‘Jude’ she called and smiled at him.
‘What?’ He barked at her turning his back to
her, ‘I’m in a serious dilemma here and you’re
playing games with me’
‘I’m here to help you Jude’ she said calmly.
‘What stupid help?’ He growled, he narrowed his
gaze at her and examined her appearance. He
asked with a threatening tone ‘where did you
find this uniform?’
‘I’ve come to help you Jude’ she ignored his
question and continued. ‘Lovina is not here and
I don’t want you to lose this opportunity, I can
represent her’
‘You know that’s not possible’
‘It is’ Gloria insisted
‘It’s not, all the students and lecturers present
already know who is supposed to fly with me’
Jude argued.
‘But they would not notice, they’ll only be
watching us from far’ She put in. ‘I won’t stay
out of the plane so long for them to see me’
‘You can’t even get into the plane’ he said
sternly, ‘Only Lovina’s ID card and mine would
be allowed by the security to enter the plane or
even access the runway
‘I have one here’ she displayed an ID card to
him.
‘What? How did you get that?' He asked, his face turned into a suspicious tone.
'Shh...' Gloria hushed him, placing a finger on her lips. 'Stop raising your voice, I only want to help you'
He narrowed his gaze first and then raised his brow, 'I don't need that kind of help, it could get me into more trouble'
She moved closer to him, removing an Android device from her pocket. She opened her chat with Aisha on the instant messenger, revealing some pictures and videos.
'Here' she pointed something to him on the screen. He refused to look to it first, but saw something familiar that caught his attention. The picture she was showing him looked like one taken in his sisters hostel room. He moved closer to have a clearer view.
