Stacy has resumed work for the day.
Good morning, sir. I met Mr. Houston in his mini bar as he was about to take his gin like he does every morning
Stacy, how are you?
I'm fine sir “she replied,”
OK, fetch me Lucy.
Let me ask her what the noise was all about last night.
Right away sir.
Stacy knocked!!!
Hello Ma!!
Hello Ma!!
She gently opened the door as she peeped in and saw no one was there. She went towards her bathroom
Good morning Miss Lucy
But no response
She knocked and pulled the door
Hello Ma, are you there?
No response
Where could she be?
She asked
Stacy was Lucy's care giver. Stacy has been with Lucy since after the death of her mum,, Stacy was confused as her legs was pin to the ground.
She came out of the room wondering where she could
be
As she muttered, coming out of the room, she could not step down the stairs. She took the first step and the second as she wondered
She went to the back to meet the gardeners,
Good morning Mr Loe
Please have you see Miss Lucy?
He said no
Ok
She went inside,,, Sir”
I think she left to work for.
Ohh really
Ok good.
Stacy was cleaning the room. She found Lucy's office ID card on the floor
If Miss Lucy misplaced her ID card
She would have come back home to get it
Well, let's see if she will come back for it she said.
Mr Houston was ready for work.
He called Stacy to get me my coffee.
Stacy served him coffee.
He said tell Lucy to see me in my room when she is back from work.
He further asked if she had anything to eat before she left.
She said," I don’t know, I did not meet her
I had just resumed work, she said.
Ok I will stop by her office to see how she is doing.
Have a great day Sir," Stacy said.
Mr Houston drove to the gate. When he got to the gate he asked the security man
Did you see Stacy this morning ?
He was terrified because he had been attacked.
And drugs that made them have access of going in and coming out.,
The security man said”No”.
Mr Houston drove off.
When he got to his office he was not looking happy at all. He kept on calling Lucy’s phone but
She was not picking. He became so worried.
,,when he was on his break, he quickly took permission to step out
He rushed to Lucy's office.
He went to the front desk.
“Good afternoon sir “
Hey, he replied.
With a smiling face,, Oh your Lucy’s father, yes
“I am”. Have we met before, he asked?
She said “Yes”
I saw you at her birthday party.
Ohhh that true.
Is everything ok I haven’t seen Lucy today?
You mean Lucy is not at work?
Mr Houston asked?
Yes sir, she has not resumed work today.
Mr Houston became worried.
She does not pick calls either.
Lucy phone has dropped under the bed while she was struggling with the strange guys,
Ok I will keep on calling!!
Mr Houston stepped out of the Hospital and was looking worried
Where could she be?
Does it have to do with the noise last night ?
Did she struggle with anyone?
Should I call the police?
But the police is always involved after 24hrs
The fact he could not wrap his head around where his daughter could be ruined his day he went back to the office
Pick up his briefcase and head home
Maybe she will be back by the time I am home.
He went home.
Stacy was cleaning Lucy's room and she found out Lucy's phone was under the bed,
She muttered to herself.
It’s almost 5:30pm.
Her ID card is at home and her phone is also at home.
Things are not fine with Miss Lucy.
Lucy had a friend in town. They went to college together.
Mr Houston thought he should stop by and ask her friend.
So he stopped at Lucy’s friend's house
He knocked
A fat,fair, grey hair, brown eyes came out.
That her friend’s mother
Good afternoon sir
Yes
Good afternoon
Please come in and take a sit,
Do you mind a drink?
No thank you, he said
Please am I looking for Annabel?
The mother's face changed and thought there was a problem
Is everything alright, she asked?
Yes he said
I just came to see if Lucy, my daughter, is with her
No have not seen Lucy for some time.
Ok I just went to checkout.
Thank you for ur time
As Mr Houston stepped out of Annabel's house he picked up his phone and called Lucy again.
Then Stacy picked up
“Hello sir”
He said to Lucy" Where have you been?"
Stacy replied,
Sir, this is not Lucy. She left her phone at home.
“She left her phone at home?
Mrs Houston replied,
Yes sir
Why
Stacy said ,, I found it under her bed while I was cleaning her room she further said I also found her office ID card in the palour
Mr Houston said," OK, hold on am on my way home already.
Mr Houston got to the house looking worried, terrified and unhappy
He drove into his compound and got out of his car.
Stacy rushed out of the house.
Welcome sir
She said
They all looked terrified and scared.
Sir, any news he said no
Mr Houston said,
What were you saying on the phone?
I found her office ID card and phone in the house.
Let me have them
Stacy handed them over to Mr Houston.
They went inside the house as Mr Houston sat sadly on his couch and dropped the ID card and phone on the table
Get me a glass of water, he said.
Stacy rushed to the kitchen to get the glass of water for Mr Houston
As she served Mr Houston the water and he was about to drink
Lucy phone rang.
