One Wrong Turn

Episode 46

“get up, lets go and look for her” i ordered
“were would we start from ” Hannah asked,
” the hotel of course”
“they are not there, Ramsey and Mesode took
her away, i don’t know where they went. Non
of them is answering their phones”
Fear gripped me when i heard those words, i
knew there was something wrong with those
boys. Something must have happened to
Ruth.

I walked back to my seat with resignation, my
heart pounded. I kept dialling Ruth’s number
over and over again. It rang repeatedly but
there was no response. I placed my head on
my desk again, hoping to catch some sleep
before the extra lessons began.

I was almost dosing off when my phone rang.
I picked it up in a hurry, i knew it had to be
Ruth.
“hello? Were are you” i asked in a hurry
The voice at the other end of the phone wasn’t
Ruth’s. It was a lady who identified herself as
a staff of the hotel we just visited. She called
to find out who owned the phone. Apparently,
she found Ruth’s phone in the room while she
was cleaning up.

It became obvious to me that my friend Ruth
was missing. I turned towards Hannah, she
was still on her seat. This time, she was
shedding tears. She definitely knows what was
happening.

I sprang up from my seat and ran to her,
gripped her shirt by the neck line and
demanded to know where Ruth was. The
Hannah i know would have fought back, but
she looked up at me quietly with guilt written
all over her face.
