One Wrong Turn

Episode 47

“Something happened to ruth ” Hannah
confessed

My heart almost gave out. Goose bumps
appeared on my skin, i have never been this
scared of anything before.
” what happened ” i asked nervously
” while i was in the room with Aj, he got a call
from Ramsey. He said they took Ruth to the
hospital, he didn’t tell me why. When i
insisted on knowing, Aj excused himself and
walked out of the room. He didn’t return until i
decided to leave.”
“which hospital?” I enquired
“i don’t know”
“and you left her? ”

Hannah looked at me without saying a word,
tears flowed freely from her eyes. The hatred i
felt for her increased. I felt like choking her to
death. But then we had to find Ruth. I dragged
her up and ordered her to follow me.
” were are we going”?
“to find Ruth of course ”
She kept quiet and followed me sheepishly. It
was almost time for extra lessons to begin,
but i didn’t care about that. I just had to fund
Ruth.

We changed our clothes at the gate house,
and boarded a taxi heading towards the hotel.
I hoped anyone there would have a clue to
where Ruth was taken.

I couldn’t help but wonder what happened to
her, she did not look seek when we left school
together this morning. She was quite active
and full of life. I have never known her to have
any health challenges either.

I stared out of the taxi window, playing up a
lot of scenarios in my mind. I was convinced
that those boys had a hand in whatever
happened to Ruth.

The taxi pulled up in front of the hotel, we
handed the driver his money and went in. I
recognised one of the receptionist, she was
there when we came earlier..
I walked up to her, and asked if she knew
about a girl that was rushed to a hospital
from the hotel earlier. Unfortunately, she had
no idea. She only gave us a list of hospitals
around the hotel, they were five in number
including a psychiatric hospital.
We hurried out of the hotel into the street,
hoping to move from hospital to hospital in
search of my friend Ruth. I prayed silently that
nothing bad happens to her.
