CHAPTER FOURTEEN
316 Words
It was a Sunday evening, every staff member had handed over duty to the night workers.
Dr Zainab was among those who had also ended their shift. Just like every other staff member, she was delighted to go home. She had a lovely marriage, so peaceful and admirable. Quickly, she drove out in her car. On her way home, she stopped at a mall to get but few items to use in preparing her dinner. After a few minutes shopping, she queued up at the till.
Suddenly, a young man from behind popped his head forward and glanced at her with a smile.
"You're Dr Zainab, right?"
"Yes, I am", she replied with a smile also.
"You've made yourself famous", he said.
"It can only be God", she quipped.
"Hmm! I see!", he exclaimed and left the queue immediately.
As he was leaving the mall, it was really obvious that he never bought anything from it.
After payment, she collected her items and left the mall. As soon as she was about opening her car, two young men swiftly moved to her, and one of them pointed a gun on her ribs, while the second man dashed into the rear seat.
"Drop your keys now", he ordered harshly.
Immediately the keys dropped, another man picked them up and took control of the wheel. Then she was slowly moved to the rear seat, there she found herself in between two men. The man who pointed a gun at her, took the side position, leaving Dr Zainab in the middle.
As soon as the man drove off the premises, the car stopped on the road, and immediately another man entered in the front of the car, and the car speedily drove off.
She could only shiver and sniffle, because she had already been gagged and veiled.
"What have I done", she asked herself as the car sped on.
