" This is my contact card. If any of you get into any sot of trouble again, you could use it to contact me directly " The police man said. Tom collected the card and smiled " Thank you sir ". Emmanuel also smiled and said the same " Thank you sir ". The police man waved his hands in courtesy dismissal. " Okay, I would be on my way now " After a little bit of pleasantry exchange, The police man bid farewell to them and walked away. Soon he was out of site.
Both Emmanuel and Tom wasted no time to save the number they found on the card on their phone. They both knew that the number was really precious as it would definitely come in handy if they were to encounter certain civil problem in the future, problems like the one Emmanuel just encountered. If Emmanuel had the number just now, he might not have ended up in such a tragic situation. Thankfully, the police showed up in time, if not, no one could possibly tell what could actually have happened, Even though the thugs didn't seem to harbour killing intent's towards Emmanuel, no one could possibly tell what would happen at the end, not even them or Emmanuel. What if he had been stabbed at a fatal spot by an angry Mito. That could lead to death. So it wasn't necessarily an understatement to say that his life was saved. The police man saved Emmanuel's life. But deep within, Emmanuel had some other thoughts, ' Isn't it to coincidental ' He thought.
" Lets go and look for a place to sit " Emmanuel said after they were both done with taking down the police man details. This time Emmanuel didn't drag Tom. They both walked freely to the outskirt of the area they were currently in. They walked through the passage Emmanuel had ran through when he was being chased by the thugs. On getting to the outskirt, their gazes scanned through the area. Tom tapped Emmanuel on his shoulder to get his attention as his other hand pointed at a particular direction. " There's a chair at that place " He said . The sun had already started shining quite brightly, and so though it wasn't yet afternoon, the sun scorched people faces ruthlessly.
Luckily, the spot Tom spotted happened to have a cement made structure shielding the place from the sun. They both walked to the place and sat down. A woman hawking soft drinks happened to pass by at that moment, and so Emmanuel bought two bottles. Tom not wanting to fall short also bought fish rolls when someone who hawked it also passed by. They began enjoying their little delicacy as they chatted.
" Before I forget, how did you manage to find me " Emmanuel asked, this was something he had been thinking about for sometime now. He couldn't comprehend how Tom managed to appear from nowhere claiming to be his saviour. It all seemed to weird.
Tom explained to him that even him found it surprising. He had coincidentally caught sight of Emmanuel at some point. Just when he wanted to approach to greet him, he caught sight of something that made him act with caution. He noticed Emmanuel had suddenly paused after staring at a particular point. He then traced Emmanuel gaze and found out where he was staring at, a group of young men dressed like thugs. He was about to approach Emmanuel and ask him what happened when Emmanuel suddenly turned and started running. On seeing this, he immediately paused. Just as he paused, he noticed the thugs also increase their pace as they went towards Emmanuel position. He immediately turned his back towards them not wanting them to notice he was staring. After they passed, he contemplated on what to do. He could already tell that Emmanuel was in some sought of trouble. At that time, he couldn't tell whether calling the police was the right move as Emmanuel was a friend he hadn't seen for a while. He knew that time changes things and people a lot, and so even though he knew Emmanuel to be a good person back then, he couldn't tell how he was now or what he might have done. He didn't want to call the police and end up putting Emmanuel in trouble. But after straining his brains continuously and still finding no way out, he made his decision. " Hello, is this the police ".
