The Runs Girl

Episode 33

That evening, senator clifford called me and informed me that Leo hotel had called him and informed him about the murder of one Mr. Ray in their hotel and about my involvement in the murder.
According to senator clifford, he said that it was reported that I stabbed Ray five times in the abdomen and ran away and that the police was searching for me everywhere.
“Darling they are lying,” I replied when senator clifford had finished. “You know I can’t do such thing.”
“Honestly I was surprised when the manager called me and informed me about the crime,” senator clifford continued. “I said I would hear from you first before I reach my conclusion.”
“Sir please I didn’t do it,” I begged. “It was all a set up. The man was already dead before I got to the hotel.”
“But what did you go to the hotel to do that night?” The senator asked.
“I went to deliver a package from edex company,” I lied. “You know I now work with edex group of companies and by the time I got to Ray’s room he was already dead. The whole thing is just a set up,” I explained.
“Anyway don’t worry I will see what I can do about it,” the senator reassured and dropped the call.
Ofcourse I knew the capability of senator clifford and what he could do so I wasn’t bothered at all.
My mum’s call came in soon after I dropped senator clifford’s call.
“I’ve been having series of nightmares recently,” my mum informed me. “I had a dream last night in which you were a prostitute and slept with different men till one of them used you for ritual. Then I woke up and discovered that it was all a dream.”
“Ah mama you over-worry yourself over nothing,” I replied sounding casual. “Nothing will happen to me. I’m fine.”
“Ok o if you say so,” my mum replied and dropped the call.
The next day, senator clifford called me again to inform me that everything had been taken care of but that I should be careful and stay out of trouble. I thanked him immensely before ending the call.
I had a job that night that promised three hundred thousand naira and I wasn’t going to miss it for any reason.
The job had gone smoothly till I woke up the next morning to discover that the client I slept with was no other person but the head pastor of my church in school…

“Pastor Joshua?” I gasped.
“Blood of God,” he echoed in surprise.
“Sister Linda, is this you?”
“Yes its me o,” I replied smiling to myself. I wanted him to know that I recognised him very well. “Hope your wife is fine?”
“Yes my wife is fine,” he replied hesitating out of guilt.
“Greet her for me,” I said smiling.
“I will increase your money for you but just keep your lips sealed please,” he pleaded. “No other ear should hear of this please?” I begged.
“Ok no problem,” I replied and went to have my bath…
