I was on my own one hot afternoon, thinking of my life when Tina my old time friend barged in and asked i escorted her somewhere.
***
Tina just moved into the same neighborhood i live so we reconnected.
I insisted knowing where i was escorting her to, while she hesitated, i refused.
After she had persuaded and saw i wasn't giving in, she said and I quote; it's a friend i loaned some cash, i got info of her location now. I want to go take my money by force.
Ha! Tina why not report this matter to the police rather than taking the law into your hands? I asked.
No, the authorities won't deliver this job the way i want. Please let's go please.- Tina pleaded
It's fine, I'll go because it's you. I don't try this kind of movement with just anybody- I said as i sluggishly lifted myself and got dressed.
After staying hours in traffic, we finally got to our destination. Immediately we opened the gate of the said person that was owing Tina, Tina spotted her debtor, left me and rushed within a speed and landed a punch on her cheek, another on the eyes; before i could say jack, she gave the third punch on her stomach.
The debtor let out a loud scream then slumped, blóód gushed out from a part of her face where Tina punched.
I pushed Tina aside and touched her pulse to be sure she was alive before anything; but luck wasn't by her side. She had died instantly.
I turned to fireback at Tina while sweat balls had already formed all over my body; Tina had disappeared, i screamed whilst stuttering her name.
All the bones in my body were shaking, i saw my life coming to an end as people started trooping towards me and the dead body with weapons.
Tina my friend, why?
I soliloquized in fear.
They had beaten me half dead when the sound of siren drove them away.
For the first time in my life, I thanked the police. At least i was still alive and worth saving tho streams of blóód were flowing from all parts of my body.
I was taken to the hospital with chuffs on.
After i had gotten myself, i explained everything but it was the people's word against mine.
The matter escalated to court, we had gone for trial for 8times and i was found guilty then on the nineth day been the last day of judgement.
A little girl who was making a video with her dad's phone that day vindicated me.
I didn't know how it happened but i was declared not guilty.
When I got out, i thanked God and from that day, I entirely stayed away from anything friends.
Tina was later found while trying to flee the country and jailed.
Who would have known my fate if God hadn't came to my rescue?
