Her brow was beaded with sweat and her heart was thumping furiously with fear as she watched the man standing in front of her,with only the desk separating them. Irene felt trapped and her night caller knew it. The caller had his back the door, which was the only exit from her office. Everyone had left the building so even if she made a dash for the door, she would not get far ,she thought. The air condition was on but suddenly she felt warm and feared she would suffocate to death as fear seemed to raise both her body and the room temperature. The man's dark eyes narrowed into mere slits and the voice which rasped at her was cold and deadly , devoid of any emotion whatsoever. A faint sinister smile began to play around the corners of his thin lips as he edged towards her.
"Female tiger "he spat out the words, you've overstepped your boundary this time around. You've been playing goddess in this institution, unchecked, for far too long. For all the countless number of people you have callously sacked, for all the families you have destroyed because of salaries withheld, interdiction and dismissal, this, here( he pointed at the gun he had directed at her forehead)will wreak vengeance on their behalf. See how you are shaking! you are nothing at all and you are nobody." You are a bloody fool",he added. With that,the man pointed the gun at her head and Irene instinctively closed her eyes. Her mouth has gone very dry , her throat muscles tightened and her tongue suck to the roof of her mouth. She could not move;she was petrified with fear and as she held her breath waiting for the inevitable to happen,she felt a dull ache in the pit of her stomach." Dear Lord recieve my spirit, please forgive any sins I've committed and keep Nick and Junior...."she prayed silently.
Bang! bang! the loud blast rang out in succession, destroying the tranquility of the environment.Irene felt something hot her very hard and she fell . During the following minutes in ensuring commotion she died in what she later described as a thousand deaths. She felt a searing pain tear through her right shoulder and she instinctively put her hand on the spot as she lay on the cold floor in the corner. She felt something warm trickle down her hand. She looked and it was blood. Bang! bang! More shots rang out. Faintly she heard more shots as her assailant made his getaway through the corridor. She heard screams and a lot of commotion as she lay in the pool of blood in the corner of her office. Her blouse soaked and she felt her strength ebbing as her mind refused to focus. Irene slipped in and out of consciousness on the cold tiled floor of her office before finally help came. To her fuzzy brain, it seemed like days. She saw silhouette of figured walking through the door. In her dark world ,she felt nothing,saw nothing and everything was pitch black and quiet. Very very quiet.
