Today in my line of duty, i came across a customer who raised my curiosity, she looked so familiar, the kind of familiar i couldnt ignore. Therefore i decided to observe her closely, true to my suspicion she seemed not to know where she was headed and therefore i decided to be her guide, this way i ensure she was safe but the question that kept nagging me was, how did she come all this way? of course she looked so different like she has been subjected to hardship and suffering.
I decided to interact with her in order to make her comfortable with me, however she told me her name was HELENA? i was shocked can there be two people so alike in this world? Though a bit grown, i couldn't miss some of her features, so i knew i was very right and my hunch never lies to me, she is who i thought she was, though a different name, to which i think there is an explanation but i had so many questions, therefore i decided to take it upon myself to keep track of her and luckily when she gave me her phone to replace, i noted it had a tracker the moment i charged it, you wonder how i got to know, am well trained in ICT, i know how to detect these things, so i rushed to the shop nearby and bought an exact phone and bought her a new line and switched this one off and requested the boss of that office to keep it in the safe for me, probably i might need to use in the future if what am thinking of is right. You may wonder how i can get a manager to keep something for me in the safe, well, i will be lying if i don't say am really connected and in almost every corner someone knows me, this because i usually help people randomly and mostly i have helped alot of street families restart their lives, and for those who knows this the biggest network in any town mostly in Africa. So far there are many of them about to graduate and already 50 graduated, and working in good organizations, part of the agreement is that once they begin working they at least adopt 5 street children and take them through the same cycle, of course they also get a boost once these kids get to university, a great person taught me this and its how he gives back to the society, therefore i have huge and great network, however this person who is my mentor remains in the shadows, he is a very low profile man and keeps it very simple and i respect his decision. Therefore i always let these people know there is a force behind me and they always want to meet him but i explained to them he is happy helping from the back.
I work in various businesses of which most i own or co-own with him but am fully in-charge of operations, and thats how today i was working as a conductor this one of the fleets we own and if someone is unwell like today's case and no one to stand in, i do it, as i also get in touch with activities on the ground. My mentor told me dont just appreciate being in a corner office but interact with people you work with and mostly as much as possible let them not know your real identity as the owner, that way you are able to know who performs well and who needs replacement, others needs a raise but its till you work with them on their routines, so because of this most of the drivers and conductors dont know my association with this fleet, they actually pay me just like any other employee, some follow the right channel others are cunning and those are the one's am so keen on, this just of the business.
Back to my new finding today, Helena told me that someone was coming to pick her up, luckily the people at the gate are my friends and they kept a close eye on her, though there was no much she just stayed there mostly asleep, before they closed, i called her just to check whether she had been picked up, she at first went silent on phone after receiving therefore i had to introduce myself to her and she told me actually the person picking her was on the way and therefore i bid her goodbye but what she didnt know my eyes were everywhere. After we hung up, someone walked to her and informed her they were about to close and so she picked up her bags, never did she put the back pack down not even once, it was stuck on her back.
After she left the park, she was just wandering aimlessly in town, you could tell she hasnt been into these places, therefore she didnt notice she was being monitored, after aimlessly wondering around, she settled on one of the street bench, she seemed to get cold and i had to do something, she coiled herself on the bench placing her suitcase as a pillow, she seemed to think about calling someone and she kept removing her phone stare at it then return in the pocket. I sent a lady friend, who worked in a restaurant to pose as if she were hawking food, so she passed by where "Helena" was and asked her if she was going to buy food, she nodded and took a selection, then she seemed to look for money to no avail and i remembered she actually tipped me. With an embarassed smile she returned the food, and apologized telling her she forgot she didnt have the money, so the lady just informed her, it seemed to be her lucky day because she was going to buy it for her.
"Helena" seemed surprised and refused politely, every of her action confirmed my suspicion but luckily had briefed my friend so she insisted, she feigned tiredness and requested Helena to squeeze abit for her, she also removed her own pack of food and they both ate, with my friend asking Helena questions and she was mostly nodding or shaking her head. Once they were done my friend asked her where she was headed to which she said she was waiting for someone, therefore my friend offered her a warm blanket to cover herself and also some mosquito repellent to apply on herself as she waits, to which it was already clear to me no one was going to pick her up, therefore had communicated to my street family and told them she is our responsibility, to keep her safe, therefore apart from me, my other eyes were everywhere and i knew she was safe, however i needed to check whats on her suitcase, so i organized someone to take it from her once she slept and bring it where i was, i was at a distance but where i saw her every move, after like two hours the person i had assigned brought the suitcase to me, however it didnt have much apart from few clothing, so i gave them to safely return it, the night went well, i didnt even get scared of her safety when sleep overtook me briefly.
The following day morning i woke up earlier and left to take shower and change clothes, however my foot soldiers were very active on the ground and i got updates every few minutes. 30 minutes after i left she woke up, probably because the city was now very much alive, she just sat on the bench aimlessly. Therefore i hurried up and headed where she was, however i pretended to be passing by and saw her by chance, so i said hi to her and sat next to her asking her why she wasnt picked, she said she also didnt know, i offered to take her for breakfast but she informed me she was waiting for the lady who assisted her with the blanket to return it, i didnt have any choice but to quickly text her and continue waiting with "Helena" all this time, i was wondering how break the ice betweeb us because she seemed to keep to herself and i really needed to dig information from her.
After waiting for another 30 minutes, my friend showed up, pretended doesnt know me, said hi to "Helena" after few exchange she left and i took "Helena's" hand and suitcase and led her to one of my favourite hotels which offers privacy. I told her to order anything she wanted and she seemed suprised but she gave me a smile and i clapped in my heart because she seemed now to open up slowly.
Will she be willing tell me what happened to her? will it be able to answer so many questions i have? Are you wondering who i am? Well for starters my name is Sean, lets meet in volume 2 titled (Angels Exist) we will interact more.
