CHAPTER ONE.
Fred and Tracy have been lovers right from their secondary school days. Fred was the first son of billionaire chief Johnson, a businessman who was into the importation of all kinds of cars. Chief Johnson was married to late Mrs Florence Johnson, who died in a plane crash while traveling abroad for her annual shopping. Fred had two siblings; Nelson, his jounger brother, and Juliet, his younger sister and the last born of the house.
Tracy on the other hand was the daughter of Mr Alex, a businessman who traded on building materials, and her mother Mrs Monica was a teacher in one the government schools. Tracy had two elder brothers and two elder sisters; Williams, David, Mercy and Janet. who were all in the higher institution, except for Tracy who was still in secondary school.
Fred and Tracy were so fund of each other, because they were deeply in love. that all efforts made by their parents to separate them proved abortive, so they were left to be with the condition that they will always concentrate on their studies.
*************************
It was Monday morning, and virtually all the students of FUTURE BUILDERS INTERNATIONAL GROUP OF SCHOOLS were all in school, neatly dressed, looking smart and presentable. Fred and his siblings were also in school, but Tracy was not, and that got Fred worrying and thinking all day without concentrating in class. During break hour, Fred sat at a corner thinking and soliloquizing. "what could be wrong? she has never missed school before without informing me ahead of time" he took a deep breath " I just hope everything is..." just then someone tapped him lightly on his shoulder, and he turned "Martin it's u? I didn't hear u come in" "that's because you were lost in thought" Martin said and sat down on a block " so tell me, what is bothering you?" he asked looking at Fred right in the eyes. "Tracy....she has never missed school before without letting me know ahead of time" Fred worriedly replied, then Martin burst into a very loud laughter " Martin, I think something is wrong with her" he further said. " what makes you think so?" Martin asked. " I don't know.... Martin, can you accompany me to her place, after school?" Fred asked " no way! .... come on Fred, what's wrong with you? just relax ok, Tracy is fine; maybe she went out and couldn't come to school, or something like that..."
"That's the problem, I won't be able to relax until i am sure she's fine" he stands up " I promise we won't waste time, we will just go there, check on her, then leave." he pleaded with a pitiable face.
" ok....but we are not going to waste time " Martin agreed.
