Kunle quickly jumped over the fence of the Max Chef Hotels as their guard dogs chased by him. He ran through a back road to the house.
"What's in that bottle?" Akin asked.
Kunle ran in, dragged the bottle and dropped two other bottles. "Kunle! Kunle! Come back here!" Akin called, as he ran after him.
" What's in those bottles?" Chelsea's mom asked.
" Dunno", Chinonye responded.
One of the bottles was emptied and it contained nothing but sand. As Chinonye held out the bottle, Jack rushed in and snatched the bottle away from her.
"Wait! Come back! Give me that!" Chinonye called after him.
" It's the bottle they're after", Chelsea said.
"But it contains sand" Nkechi said, trying to figure out what the use of the bottle was.
"I don't think so. All these bottles cannot contain sand." Chinonye reasoned.
"Then there must be something more to it?" Chelsea asked.
" Yes probably" Chelsea said in response.

"I got the bottle" Jack said in jubilation.
"What of Kunle?" Samuel asked.
"Don't have any idea. Lucky guy. He escaped," Jack replied.
" So you got the bottle?" Kenneth asked again just to be sure. And when Jack nodded, he continued, "Thank God we are already in Port Harcourt. Let's call Mr Briggs now to come get this stuff before we lose it again."
