I watched Becky as she stood there staring at the closed door, I know she and Ada are tight, but I never knew they were this tight. She looks broken and scared; gosh I hope Ada is ok.
“Hey”
My head turned to the sound of Stephen; he sat beside me then took my hands in his placing it on his laps.
“Are you ok?” he asked looking straight at me
I nodded my head meaning yes, then bowed it, I wasn’t ok, but I was going to be once I see Ada healthy and strong.
“It’s ok to be scared, I’m scared to” I lifted my head up at what he said, he’s scared? Really?
It’s like he heard my question in my head ‘cause he said.
“Yes really”.
I said nothing, just stared at him, I had nothing to say anyway, he always knows what I’m thinking, it’s like he’s in my head.
“Ada, will be back, she will be fine” he said, looking at me straight in my eyes.
I didn’t have the ability to answer, so I nodded my head. He kept on holding my hands; Becky kept staring at the door.

Becky
I stood staring at the door, waiting for Ada to walk in; I can’t believe this is happening. Why her, who would want to take her?
Earlier today, while I was at home. I got a call that Ada was missing, not missing per say, but just that she’s been gone for hours, no one has seen or heard from her, and her number wasn’t going through.
I knew something was wrong ‘cos Ada never stays out more than 3 hours, especially when she goes to the market. So I picked up my cute brown Gucci handbag on my dining table, along with my phone on my coffee table situated in the middle of the living room.
I had a bad feeling about Ada not being home for hours and I also felt I’ll be needed in the house, so I left. I left with the hope that Ada is actually safe and all this is just as a result of the traffic in Lagos.
