In The Eyes of The Enemy
As Uche moved closely to the car park of her school St. Mark High School,she wondered for the 100th time why her dad had come to check on her in the middle of the day. Her class teacher had called her out right before 4th period to tell her her father was waiting for her at the park. Uche usually walked home after school hours herself so she wondered why he was here to see her when school wasn't over yet.
She silently prayed she wasn't in form of any trouble,she knew she didn't do well in her maths test but he could have just waited till she got home to unleash his anger. Her father was such a disciplinarian and ever since she lost her younger brother six years ago to a motor accident things had changed in the house. Her parents fought all the time and being the only child left she had no one to share her childhood with,the only time to feel like the 13 year old that she really is was at school with her friends Bidemi and Timothy.
As uche got to the drivers side of the car,the door opened and she suddenly felt the urge to pee,she was ushered into the car and before long the driver sped off.
Uche knew she was in trouble,even though she was offered a drink still she decided to keep quiet,she was sure once they reached the house her mother would defend her and help her no matter what the issue was. It only took some minutes for her to realise they weren't headed home,she tried to speak up but she couldn't talk,her throat was stiff and her eyes began to water,before long she passed out.
The work was done he thought to himself,this was going to be his first kidnapp act. Not that he wished to but times were hard and he couldn't help it and everything had worked out according to plan. All he needed was three more days and he would become stinkingly wealthy.
Uche's father picked up his phone and dialled his wife's number,at the second ring she picked up. "hello" she said,by now he was sweating all over his forehead and the airconditioner in the office seemed to have little or no effect "uche has been kidnapped by our driver,he just called me now,he needs ransom of 30million naira" uche's father said but he didn't hear any reply after few seconds of silence his wife ended the call.
Let's find out what happens nextweek.xx
