Episode 36

Backup arrived fifteen minutes later and were stunned by the series of dead bodies lying about the vicinity.

I was waiting patiently inside my military vehicle when the backup arrived.

“Wow Colonel,” the leader called out to me. “Who are they?” He asked.

“Armed robbers sir,” I replied. “I ran into them while on patrol.” I explained.

“And you finished them all single-handedly?” He asked in surprise.

“Yes I did sir,” I replied smiling.

“Wow that’s a great feat,” the leader congratulated. “I guess you deserve some promotion for this.” He added.

“Wow it would be my pleasure sir,” I replied smiling.

The dead bodies were loaded into our vehicles and dropped off at the military morgue at our division headquarters.

Then I headed back to my apartment to freshen up and have some rest.

The time was 12.00midnight and I was very tired and exhausted.

I got to my apartment around some minutes after 12, parked my vehicle outside, locked the doors carefully and went inside.

First thing I did was to undress down to my boxers and went straight to the bathroom to have my bath.

After that I came out feeling very clean and refreshed.

Then I settled down to watch the season one of the movie I bought some days back titled “Spartacus”

I had barely settled down to watch the movie when I heard the sound of the tap in my bathroom running.

I was very sure that I locked the tap and shower before coming out so I couldn’t understand how-come the tap was running.

Lazily I got up from the chair I was sitting on and went to lock the tap.

After locking the tap, I came back to the sitting room to continue with the movie.

The movie had barely played for 5minutes when I heard the tap running again.

Perplexed, I went back to the bathroom and locked the tap for the second time.
After locking the tap, I looked round the bathroom carefully in search of whatever it was that was onning the tap but I couldn’t find anything.

So I went back to the sitting room to continue with my movie.

5minutes later, the tap started running again.

This time the adrenaline in me rose and I trembled with fear.

I couldn’t comprehend what was happening again but with the courage of a soldier, I went back to the bathroom and locked the tap one more time.

I looked up and down, right and left, in and out and everywhere yet I couldn’t find anything causing the tap to run.

I locked the tap feeling that probably the locking mechanism of the tap had grown faulty and the pressure exerted by the water inside was causing the tap to run without control. That was the best explanation my mind could give the situation.

I went back to the sitting room to continue with my movie.

To my greatest shock, Ijeoma’s spirit sat comfortably on my sofa watching my movie
