Episode 26
Simeon went home as heâd closed from the dayâs work.
He drove home with his Bentley.
He dragged his feet lousily as he was burnout from the dayâs work.
He opened the entrance door and went in, he met ben sitting down comfortably on the couch and his gaze was on the tv screen.
Simeon thought he was too engrossed in what he was watching not noticing his arrival as it was also late in the night.
Simeon walked over to him, he then realized he was lost in thought though his gaze was on the flat plasma tv screen but his mind was faraway from it.
Simeon wondered what he was thinking about.
He tapped him on his shoulder and he jerked up immediately with shock.
âhey man whats wrong?â
simeon inquired.
Ben took a deep breath and sank into the couch.
âyouâre home already?â
ben asked rhetorically avoiding his question.
ânope, am still at workâ
simeon replied sarcastically.
âcâmon tell me whatâs bothering you man!â
simeon said.
âerhm! Nothing!â
ben replied
ânothing?â
simeon asked surprised.
âyeah. Nothingâ
ben replied in the affirmative nodding his head.
âand you want me to buy that?â
simeon asked casting him a questioning look.
âactually, thereâs somethingâ
ben replied feeling defeated.
ânow, you just talking, so whats that about?.â
simeon asked and sat on the couch adjacent to his.
âiâŠiâŠiâŠiâŠâ
ben stammered and broke down in tears
âwhat happened?â
simeon asked drawing closer to him.
âi had a terrible dream that nancy is goneâ
ben said amidst sobs.
Simeon felt like laughing but he concealed his mouth with his palm, but the expression and tears on his face wasnât funny.
âa dream?â
simeon asked.
âyes a dream, i saw a lady stabbing nancy in the dreamâ
ben replied wiping off the tears with the back of his palm.
âa lady stabbing nancy?â
simeon asked
âyes, the lady shown to me in the dream was Alice, one of nancyâs friend in her school daysâ
ben expatiated.
âAlice, Aliceâ
simeon mumbled the name trying to recall where heâd heard the name.
âyou know her?â
ben asked as he heard him muttering the name.
âyes, yes, yes!â
simeon shouted happily as he remembered the lady that came looking for ben.
âa lady came looking for you, her name was also Alice but i donât really know if she was the one you saw in your dreamâ
simeon said.
âshe came looking for me?â
ben asked surprised.
âSo its all real!â
ben added.
âshe might possibly be the one you saw in your dream bcoz, the lady was evil, she was on my neck, she almost ruined things for me, i had to come up with a lie before she could leave meâ
simeon said shaking his head.
Ben took a deep sigh, so he still has someone else to deal with, after clara is out of the way.
âlord, whats happening?â
he soliloquized and broke down in another round of tears.
âi donât even know nancyâs condition at present, i would have to go see her tomorrowâ
ben said.
âno.no. You canât go yet, remember you still have to remain indoors to avoid any impending danger that might be laying in wait for you, and iâm sure, the lady is still on the lookout for you, just be patient, i would find a solution to thatâ
simeon said thoughtfully.
âbut nancyâs life is in danger!, i canât sit here watching her jeopardizing her life man!.â
ben angrily shouted and stood up.
âhey! Relax. Relax man!â
simeon said and stood up also.
âi cant relax man, iâm gonna go and nothing would stop me!!â
ben barked at him and angrily stormed out of the sitting room.
Simeon stood flabbergasted at benâs weird behaviour.
He had his reasons for restricting his movements.
But ben wouldnât listen, he hoped he would reason it with him.
Ben la!d down on the bed.
He was indignant about what simeon had said.
But simeon might be right afterall, Alice might lay in surveillance for him.
But he still needs to see nancy.
