The Runs Girl

Episode 43

I got to my lodge and locked myself inside my room.
I didn’t want any disturbance from anybody be it a
sympathiser or friend.
I had quietly offed the engine of my jeep and tiptoed to
my room to avoid drawing the slightest attention. Even
the girl in whose room I slept didn’t know I had come
back.
I quietly went into my room and locked the door. Then
I sat on my bed to think of what to do.
I had enjoyed life and money to the extent that I had
lots of flashbacks rolling back and forth in my mind.
Top on my list was the Dubai travel.
It was simply awesome. From abu d’habi this to abu
d’habi that, we explored. The names sounded so
unfamiliar that I couldn’t remember them. Not to talk
of the hotel built in the middle of the ocean where me
and senator clifford spent one night. There were lots
and lots of goodies on sale and senator clifford really
tried for me.
Then the thoughts of stella, my former roommate
filtered into my mind. She was probably still in
business and I felt cheated.
I felt cheated by nature. I felt cheated by destiny.
My plans of purchasing a piece of land and starting off
the foundation of my new building had turned out to be
mere figments of my imagination. I shook my head in
bitterness.
What was more? My academics.
I hadn’t talked much about my academics because
there wasn’t much to talk about. I sorted all my
courses at the slightest opportunity and slept with as
many lecturers as were willing to give me marks.
I was among the happening babes in campus and
sponsored as many female cult groups as I could
count.
The first day I drove to school in my new jeep, the
whole faculty was thrown into chaos as everybody
hailed me at the top of their voice.
I introduced ten babes into the business that very day.
Babes who wanted to hammer jeeps the way I
hammered.
I shook my head as the vivid images flashed across
my mind as though they happened yesterday.
Then the image of Ray, the client of mine I murdered in
cold blood, came to my mind and I shuddered with
fear.
For the second time I looked round my well furnished
room and trembled.
I heard a noise sweep across my room and got up to
know what it was but saw nothing. The noise swept
across again for the second time and this time behind
my back and I turned and saw nothing.
Then a female voice began to laugh inside my room of
which I couldn’t still see anybody.
I zoomed out of the room instantly without looking
back or thinking twice…
