EPISODE 40C

‘I’ll make sure they pay for it’ Sylvester cursed
loudly. He sat on a stool beside the hospital
bed where Henry was sitting, a bandage was
wrapped round Henry’s arm.
Henry hissed. ‘It’s okay, thank God you came at
the right time, it would have been worse’
‘What did you do to them?’ Sylvester asked
again, a question Henry was not willing to
answer.
Henry had made up his mind for a thanksgiving
service in church the next Sunday. He who had
heard several stories about the brutality of
soldiers on civilians on several occasions had
only partly believed the story. He had a friend
with a gentle nature who was also in the force,
his friend didn’t look like a brutal person. Henry
concluded that only the wicked ones amongst
them were brutal to ordinary people.
The ones he had met that day were more than
wicked, they gave him only a little room for
explanation before they began to use the whips
on him. What had aggravated the matter was
Henry’s identity card that was nowhere to be
found, he could have gotten away by proving
that he was working for a security agency.
The two soldiers that addressed him wasted no
time in landing the whips six times on his body
as he delayed obeying their order to kneel
down.
‘You wan go rape am?’ One of the mean looking
huge soldiers had accused him of attempted
rape.
‘No , I saw something suspicious with her and
was only trying to investigate’ Henry had lied to
save himself, but there was no ID card to
support his claim.
He received a total of six whips, three slaps
and had done frog jump for about fifteen
minutes when Sylvester came to his rescue.
Sylvester had coincidentally seen the event
through the surveillance camera’s transmission.
‘Take this two tablets, twice a day. This, one
tablet thrice a day. And this, three tablets every
six hours’ a Doctor explained how to use the
drugs to Henry.
‘Don’t bother, I’ll read the instructions myself’
Henry snatched the drugs jacket from the
Doctor impatiently, he wondered why so much
drugs should be administered to him for just
something little. ‘Is that all? Can I leave now?’
‘Yes that’s all, you can leave’
‘Thank you’ Henry got up and left with Sylvester
immediately.
‘You still haven’t told me what happened with
you and the soldiers’ Sylvester troubled him
again as they settled into the car. ‘I want to
know what action to take’
‘Thank you for saving me sir, I don’t think it’s
necessary to take any action. I’ll tell you what
happened later’ Henry hesitatingly answered.
‘We need to go back to the office now to check
for my ID card. I have my MasterCard too in the
pack’
‘I’m not sure you forgot it in the office, I saw
you put it in the front pocket of your shirt’
‘Then where could it be?’ Henry searched his
pockets again. His phone rang out, interrupting
him, he didn’t know where it was.
‘Here’ Sylvester handed over the phone to him
from the back seat. He started the car engine.
‘Hello, are you Henry George Ekene’ A voice
asked.
‘Who’s this please?’ Henry replied with a
question.
‘We found a pack containing some cards in our
company, Seginet Computer International, your
phone number was on it’
‘Huh?’ Realization hit Henry, it must have
dropped when he almost collided into the
strange lady. He frantically searched through
his pocket for the bug, it wasn’t there.
… to be continued.
