As soon as the two alighted from the vehicle they were met by police sirens and firemen trucks. People rushed out of the restaurant like they have seen a ghost.
No! no! no! This could not be happening. This was the most famous and expensive restaurant in town. Molemo had spent all his connections to get here. This was a place even money could never buy you. Celebrities, politicians and lobbyists all used this place to get a breather from the paparazzi and the limelight.
So what was going on here?
The security at this place was top notch. There was no way in the universe it could be a terrorist attack.
Molemo was in a dilemma.
All he wanted was a bit of fun in this place with the most beautiful lady. So what was all these?
He took a glance at the woman beside him, instead of fear he saw a look of worry. He realised she wanted to rush over to one of the ambulances.
Well, well, what a shame! His lady wanted to be a doctor more than looking for his protection. He sighed and whispered:
"wait for me here, I will go and inquire about whatever is going on here."
"oh! Please find out if they can need more hands to help out."
Molemo screamed to himself. 'urghhhhhhh…. Why did I choose this place? Well, how could I know all these could happen in a matter of hours?'
He headed to one of the police officers who looked familiar and greeted him. Although the young officer looked a bit tired, he was working diligently, directing his subordinates on what is to be done while politely replying people who came by to chat to him. He gave short straight replies that truly showed how busy and worried he was.
"yoh! Molemo, what a surprise? Aren't you in one of the hottest concerts in the club?" the officer questioned.
"nah, I came out with my girl for our first date.what a shame"
" No man, not a shame but luck. A serial killer who has proclaimed over the net that there were top dogs owing him disguised as one of the waiters here and is hiding somewhere."
"is anyone hurt?"
"a few. Well about 15 to be exact. The chef is a very observant man. If he wasn't that courageous we could have lost more. Let's later my man."
"uh…"
"what is it? Though we are acquainted I have a job here. Lives are at stake."
"well, my girlfriend wondered if she could help. She is an aspiring student doc."
'oh, that's fortunate. We are a bit short. The medics have truly required a backup. Tell her to head to the ambulances and tell them that I asked her to help."
There was no time for thanks.
Molemo rushed to Les who was standing beside Pedro whom Molemo had forgotten all about. However, he couldn't tell their friend that he had forgotten all about him.
He nodded to Pedro and shortly told Les the story as it was told to him and how she could be of help.
Without further ad, Les took off her heels, took off some pumps from her purse and put them on.
Molemo wanted to comment but it wasn't the right time. So he only watched and made a mental note to ask about this. The heels and the purse were immediately shove to him as the young lady rushed to one of the ambulances where one medic was having a hard time with the injured. Not that they had serious injuries. They were scared and confused thus making a rockus.
