He had called her number so many times without recieving any response. Many at times she wouldn't pick up his call and sometimes she would drop the call. He couldn't get himself anymore since she left him. He had realised how much he needed her, losing her was like losing her second Janet. Infact, he had made up his mind to marry Elizabeth if Janet betrays him.
He stood up from his bed after feeling the loneliness for sometime. He couldn't give a damn about losing RasoAmai. Losing her is proportional to losing nothing. But, Elizabeth to him was a second Janet, being a white girl doesn't matter to him.
After trying her number for three days, he had made up his mind to visit her in her hostel, no matter what the result mightturn out to be.
He had woken up on this Saturday morning. Since he was not having amy lecture on Saturdays, he had woken up late; around ten of clock. Yawning like the one who had a great adventure in his dream, he stood up from the bed and approached his bathroom. He was fully determined to pay Elizabeth a visit today. With full commitment, he said; "I will go to her place today whatever the case may be." Admiring himself in the mirror as he dressed,he brushed his hear and then wore the best of his snickers and on he went.
He continued knocking on Elizabeth's door for he decided to open it himself. Since the door wasn't locked from outside, he guessed had deliberately refused to open the door for him, so he opened it and entered.
Elizabeth wasn't inside, and her door wasn't locked. "Where could she have gone to?"
He looked around and dicovered that her bed has become tattered and her bed sheet, was on the floor, it has been tore as well. Something flash through his mind. Someone must have entered to kidnap Elizabeth. The person must have been pulling her and she must have been holding her bed not wanting to follow the person. With much pressure, the person must have pulled her and she had tore her bedsheet in the process. Knowing that the bedsheet can not be of any importance again, she had left it and started holding the bed till the bed got torn as well."
"Could I have guessed right? Has Elizabeth really been kidnapped?" He had a rethink, not knowing if he had guessed right. Then all of a sudden, he saw a small drop of blood beside the bed. "Definitely, Elizabeth has been kidnapped"
He ran outside Elizabeth hostel and continued to the next hostel, knocking profusely on the door.
"Who is that?" Two ladies had asked from inside.
"Ja.... James." He stammered, Racheal came out of the room and faced James.
"How can I help you, young man?" The lady asked, smiling.
"Is..... is Elizabeth with you?"
"No, why did you ask?"
"Because I know she always come here whenever she is not in her hostel. "
"Is she ot in her hostel?"
"Yea..... Yeah." He stammered again in fear. He wasn't sure of what would be happening to Elizabeth by this time. Probably she has been raped or killed, who knows?
"Oh yeah! Ben came to tell me that Elizabeth wants to spend some time with, so I should expect her to come to my place today at all."
"That same Ben must have kidnapped Elizabeth. He must have told Rachael not to look for her so that she wouldn't go to Police station to complain about Elizabeth's sudden absence in the campus."
"Can you give me direction to that particular Ben's place?"
"Yeah, sure!"
With anger he had gone to Ben's hostel on the bike he rented. He quickly alighted from the bike and started banging on Ben's door profusely. Ben, a gentle young man came out and met James outside.
"Hello, the door had been made with money na, will you break it?"
"I'm not after breaking the door, but you yourself. "
With shock, he had asked "Why?"
"Where is Elizabeth?"
"Elizabeth?"
Without giving a rethink, James had punched Ben so hard on the face that he fell on the floor. He held his colar tightly and pulled him up. "Where is Elizabeth?" He asked again giving Ben a hard punch on the neck.
"I... I don't know what you're talking about. Elizabeth is my girlfriend, why are you beating me for her?"
"Your girlfriend?" He was shocked to hear this. Could Elizabeth really be dating this guy? Well, the looked gentle and innocent.
"Of course, she is."
Leaving his doubts, he asked again; "Does the fact that Elizabeth is your girlfriend gives you the right to kidnap her?"
"What are you talking about? Elizabeth had left my place for a while."
"For a while?" He was surprised again, then he decided not to trust or believe Ben. How can Elizabeth get him as a boyfriend just two weeks after he had left him. He pushed Ben in, tied him up to a chair and searced the whole room, he went ahead, checking his surroundings and his backyard.
"Are you sure Elizabeth t is not here?"
"How can I kidnap my own girlfriend, guy?" Ben said sorrowfully.
"Can I trust this white guy with his crocodile tears?" James asked himself. He pulled the chair on which he had tied Ben to socket . He then looked for an electric pressing iron and plugged it to the socket.
"What... what are you doing?" Ben cried out
"Gonna torture till you tell me where you've kept Elizabeth." James replied him switching the iron to the highest level. "Sometimes clothes shouldn't be ironed, human beings should. Because they are nothing but virus to this planet; earth. I'm gonna press your body with this iron till you tell me where Elizabeth is."
All were gathered in one place, drinking and laughing, mocking Elizabeth who had been tied to a pole nearby.
David stood up and approached her, he caressed her cheeks and inhaled deeply, sniffing her body scent. Elizabeth had became weak and could no longer react to anything being done to her.
"Let my guys finish their drinks, Eli." David smiled licking her cheeks and nibbling her hear. "You're gonna satisfy everyone of us. Ben will soon join us, we're gonna take turns on you." He poured his drink in her mouth and opened his own mouth to recieve it down his throat. "I really love you, Eli. But I always hate any girl that will take my love for granted. I cannot say you took my love for granted, but you rejected it. And, I'm gonna teach you the best lesson of your life by making you a white."
"After we get enough satisfaction from this girl." David faced his guys. "Our next mission will be to kidnap that guy, James. Get ready for that."
Just immediately after David made his last statement, the door to the room flew up from it's spot and landed right before David. David looked up and saw James on his bike, sitting comfortably as he held Ben tightly. Ben's hand and leg had been tied and he was being placed carefully on the bike.
"I encountered a serious problem, making sure this guy doesn't fall off my bike as we made our journey down here. I'm so sorry for breaking your door. I'm so sure you are gonna repair it." John intentionally started saying nonsense. "But something is still annoying me about you and I got to ask you this; why are you trying me? Don't ever try this with me again, hnm?" He dropped Ben on the floor and approached Elizabeth trying to free her.
"Shoot him!" David shouted.
"Well, you might try to shoot me." James said as he pulled off his jacket to reveal some wire works all along his chest down his stomach. David was shocked to see this and he quickly summoned Oxlade to drop his gun. "Bomb" his voice echoed. "You can stick to your decision of shooting me, but I only need to press this button with me and the whole place will get exploded in a second, which means everyone of us will die here." He proceeded to free Elizabeth, he made her sit on the bike and he circled her arms around him as he sat before her on the bike.
"You might start thinking of how a Nigerian can be as tough as this. Well, I enjoy watching india movies and always try to imitate their characters. Thanks." He rode away.
"Did he just say he loves to watch Indian movies and live by their character?" Daniel whispered to Oxlade. " But,this boss of ours who is originally from India is not as smart as he is."
"I'm even also from Nigeria and I've never seen a guy as tough as this."
James carried Elizabeth directly to his own hostel and made her sleep on his bed, he made some coffe for her and made her drink before he told him to sleep peacefully, he closed the door peacefully and slept beside her. Elizabeth was the first to wake up around 5pm, she smiled at James and slept in his arm again, circling his arm around her. They both didn't wake up until seven in the evening. James was the first to wake up, he tried to come out of bed and Elizabeth wakes up immediately.
"Were you not sleeping?" James had asked.
"You woke me up by your movement na. I thought I was in your arms."
"I wanted to go and prepare something for dinner, that is why I carefully dropped you on the bed" He said, sitting on the bed beside her.
"I won't be able to sleep comfortably without being in your arms. You're my life." This statement of hers madeJames smiled and hugged her immediately. "I love you, James."
"I love you too, Elizabeth. You're my everything. I don't think I can live without you."
"Promise you will never cheat on me again."
"Promise." He said hitting his chest lightly
"Thanks." She further hugged him tightly., not wanting to let go.
