Episode 4
I quietly carried her to the staircase, my
heart beating wildly as I carried the heavy
load. I needed a whole lot of luck to avoid
detection.
Only a single mistake could destroy
everything I had planned.
Luckily I got to my destination without being
seen. I calmly dumped and pushed her
well,underneath the staircase (of the first
floor).
“If things go as planned perhaps it will take a
day or two before she’s discovered” I
reasoned before another idea came into my
head.
I rushed up to my room, grabbed a bucket of
water, came down and poured it all over her.
I wasn’t a biologist but i felt it could destroy
any evidence like my prints which were on
her body.
Yea it might sound silly but i felt a bit relieved
after doing it even though the water quickly
spilled out towards the exit door but it wasn’t
enough to draw attention.
I grabbed the empty bucket and returned to
my room. I knew nobody would investigate a
spilled water in a lodge filled with students.
Unless of course the cleaners.
As I got to my room, I quickly cleaned up
everywhere, packing up all of Nmeka’s things
in a big black sack bag including her phone
which was the first in the list, but before
doing it I first, logged into her 2go account
(luckily, the application opened without asking
for a password) and deleted everything about
me, including my phone numbers and text
messages we shared. I knew the police had
the means to get me if they were serious but
I did everything just as a precaution. I equally
washed the bathroom, and changed my bed
sheet, made sure everything was in order
before sitting down to rest.
I was so terrified and nervous. I needed all
the good luck in the world. I was scared of
being caught. My future just stood before me,
glaring at my face. I knew i did the worst
atrocity by trying to hide the poor girl, but I
had no choice than to do it. I wasn’t ready to
hang for something I had no hand in.
Nervously I waited for the hostel gate to be
opened, the success of my plans depended
on it.
I had to dispose Nmeka’s things in a place
very far away. Precisely in a river.
