Episode 10.

Story by Miriam Edem.

The cops left immediately and I looked at my friends and bowed my head. I suddenly felt so ashamed of myself that I could not say anything,
“You didn’t treat yourself when you fell sick last time, but the doctor said you’ll be fine, Joshua said and I nodded.
“But I want to leave this place, I said.

“Why? Susan asked.
“I just want to go, there’s something I need to do, I replied.

“I told you didn’t I? She won’t accept to stay here, Susan said to Joshua and sat down where she was before.
“Okay fine, but you have to take your medication, Joshua said.

“Sure, can I speak with my mom? I asked Susan.
“Okay, she has been calling though but I had to give an excuse….. Of course a lie, Susan said dialling my mom number for me……….

The cops informed us in the evening that the captives has been rescued and hospitalized and also, the pastor traveled for a programme and he’s not back yet.
“Really? Who told you this? Joshua asked them.

“A member, You still think he’s the one? One of the men asked Joshua.
“Where’s John phone? Joshua asked and I pointed to the socket where it was charged and Joshua got it and switched it on.

I unlocked the phone and gave it to him and Joshua went through his call logs.
“There is Boss, Joshua told us showing us the phone and a cop quickly dialled the number on his phone. It rang twice and he finally picked up,

“Yes! That strong voice came on phone.
“Hey long time, the cop said.

“Who’s this? The boss asked.
“You don’t remember me again? Or have you stopped doing the business? John introduced me to you remember? The cop asked settling on a very matured tone that meant business.

“Okay okay, the boss said not sounding good.
“Why what’s wrong? How’s business? Because I need 2 ch¡ps for an important stuff, where can I get it? The cop asked.

“Business is having some shake Now and the police is on my trail, I’m afraid I won’t be able to deliver, the boss replied.
“What! Are you serious right now? Please you really have to help me because its urgent, name your price and I’ll pay I mean it, the cop said as everyone remained quiet and the boss heaved.

“You think its easy here for me? My place was revealed and the stock I had are all gone! I was betrayed by that useless John do you understand! The boss violently shouted.
“John did that? Listen where are you now let’s talk things out. We can arrange for another place in a different location, don’t worry I gat you covered, the cop said.

“Boss not now please, let’s forget such a business and see how we can safe ourselves, one of the guys said at the background.
“We just want to talk and we need all the help we can now else we’ll be in deep mud than we are, the boss said to them.

“What? We are not meeting? The cop asked.
“You better be sure about that, the boss replied.

“Okay its fine let’s not meet again. I only want to help you out of your mess and suddenly you can’t trust your own client, then its fine. Have a good day, the cop said.
“Calm down okay, you’re talking about trusting a client when my own personal boy disappointed me, don’t you understand? The boss asked.

“Its fine then, its just a shame I never expected such disappointment for a big deal, the cop said and he breathed out.
“Okay let’s meet and talk, the boss said and dropped the address which another cop quickly wrote it down.

“Great, time? The cop asked.
“Now please, the boss replied.

“Okay I’ll be there with my boy, keep a table for 2, the cop said and dropped the call and I breathed out.
“You gat this right? Joshua asked them.

“Sure, wish us luck, the cops replied and left immediately to arrange their team.
“We’re leaving now right? I asked Joshua.

“Yes so you’ll have a proper rest, Joshua replied and I slowly came down from the bed………..

I got home with my friends and it was so good to see the house again. At a point I thought I’ve lost it as I stood admiring it.
“Are you hungry? Susan asked and I shook my head and sat down.

“I’m okay, I replied and touched my forehead,
“Worried? Joshua asked and I shook my head.

“Any word from the police yet? I asked him.
“Not yet, but let’s give them all the time to concentrate, Joshua replied and I nodded.

“I’ll be spending the night here, Susan said.
“No you don’t have to bother, I said to her.

“Today that I want to sleep Here you’re speaking English, I said I’m spending the night here period, Susan said and I smiled.
“Then keep your house rent o, I playfully said.

“You wish, Susan said.
“I’ve told you my own, I said and Joshua checked the time.

“Alright ladies I have to hurry down to the station you know to catch a glimpse of something about this case. Don’t worry I’ll put you on call, see you tomorrow, Joshua said.
“Thank you so much, good night, we said to him and he left while Susan locked the door and looked at me.

“You’re hurt. You must really love John, she said and I forced a smile and heaved. I didn’t want to reply that but the eyes Susan used on me was like she was reading the in,side of me and I breathed out with my eyes teary.
“I’m hurt that I loved a beast, he was no human and I thought so highly of him and that’s where it hurts most, I said and cleaned my tears and Susan sat beside me.

“You are the bible girl here, at least you read more of it than I’ve done and I thought you should know better. There are so many wolves in sheep’s clothing, so many devil dressed as angels of light roaming in the church. Because one goes to church does not make that person a child of God. Because one speaks in tongues and performs greatly in church does not make that person a God fearing fellow. Because one knows the bible so much and quotes it out perfectly does not make that person God anointed.

Even the devil quoted the bible to the son of God. Imagine the devil quoting the word for the WORD himself and you think that the church is a safe place where the devil can’t manipulate to be? Even Jesus said, many will do wonders in my name calling him Lord Lord but at the end he will say depart from me he doers of iniquity, you should have known this better.
Forgive yourself Amanda and learn from what God rescued you from, you’re one lucky girl you know and I think it was for a reason, Susan said and I was dripping with tears and hot sweats from my body.

I just laid on the bed crying to myself while Susan let me be.

The house was just filled with my sobs for more than 30 minutes while Susan concentrated on her laptop and a call came on her phone.
“Hello Joshua wassup? She picked up.

“What! Susan shouted and I sat up immediately looking at her which she turned and looked at me.
“Are you serious? Gosh! Amanda come hear this, Susan said stretching the phone for me and I quickly got it.

“Hello, I picked up.
“Sorry it was successful, Joshua said.

“Okay that’s good news but what’s the sorry for? I asked.
“Its your pastor, he’s the boss, Joshua dropped and my throat went dry as I staggered backwards.

“The…th… You mean the pastor? I stammered.
“We’ll talk tomorrow okay, Joshua replied and dropped the call and I freely dropped myself in bed with my eyes bulged out.

Suddenly I heard the scre-ms of the people in my head, the machete that landed on the table taking off someone’s head was just before me, the human parts i stepped on in the bush…….. all of this was carried out by a man who stood behind the altar releasing blessings on us last Sunday.

My heart was beating fast like I was going to explode and my head ached as I couldn’t stop the scre-ms in my head. I held my head and fell from the bed scre-ming alongside with them and Susan held me,
“Amanda! Amanda stop! I heard her shouting but I couldn’t help it. The sights of last night was just before me, and once again it was like I was in the bush………..
