11:46 am, September 20,Tokyo, Japan.'I wish I could speak more than three languages,' Mide suddenly said.'Shh, what did you say?' Eartha whispered, not taking her eyes away from the screen.'I wish I could speak more languages,' Mide reiterated, rolling his eyes. 'I wasn't being loud now.''You were,' Eartha argued, still not taking her eyes away from the big screen. Then she leaned against her husband's arm and continued to watch the subtitled movie.That they had been able to take time off work to come to the movies was a miracle in its self and she wished to savour every moment, like fine wine, to the last drop. She couldn't even remember the last time they'd gone out together like this. Maybe during their courtship.If they hadn't been moved they probably wouldn't have had time to come here. Their host company had had their residence moved to a new location today and they had had the day off.Okamoto, a bus

'I . . .''Eniiyi, now! Please, say yes! You'll totally love it. I've been to her house before and it's really big and nice.' He stressed heavily on the 'really' as though to underline his point.'Please, please, okay? You're not going to like that hospital place; it's boring and smells like a hospital a little.''Okay, okay. I'd love to, ma. Thank you,' Eniiyi agreed.'Yes!' hollered Lastborn.'You're screaming,' the girl snapped.'That's good. Now all I have to do is apply for your custody, I hope it goes alright.''What if it doesn't?' Eniiyi asked. 'I don't wanna stay in a hospital house, too.''It should, I hope, since it's temporary custody.''Why does it sound so hard?' Eniiyi asked. 'How does it work, anyways?''After I fill the form, I have to give good reasons why I think you should stay with me and then they'll do research on me to find out how responsible I am and my capability to take care of you.

'Good afternoon,' the male officer said as he stepped in.Eniiyi looked up at the female officer expectantly. She had come in the morning but with a different partner. Had they found her parents already?'I'm Detective Oji Omenka, I'm assigned to your case along with Detective Egwu.' He pointed to the woman police.'My case? Why do I have a case? Some people already came in the morning to ask me—' Eniiyi started to say.'Your cousin here told us about what happened on your way here and the pictures you took. We are trying to—''Good God, Menk, try to be nice. She's just a child and you sound like you're grilling her.' The woman chided her partner then turned to the girl.Eniiyi tried to remember what she had called her name earlier in the day. Was it Ebibo? Melimo? She couldn't even remember, but she remembered that it sounded strange to her ears.'Yes, we came earlier in the day to get your statement on what happened to you and L

02:32 pm, September 19.'You're almost fully recovered now, Enyi, you just have to spend one more day here to fully recover and you'll be discharged by the weekend.' The doctor straightened up from examining her eyes and turned off the beam of the light.Eniiyi smiled at him and shook her head. 'It is Eniiyi, not Enyi, sir.'The doctor laughed at this. 'Of course, Enyi.'She puckered her lips and frowned at him not finding it funny.'Kedu?' the doctor asked, confused as to why she was angry. The girl remained silent, her frown deepening.'Okay, okay, I'm sorry, Eniiyi.''Better,' said Eniiyi. She now smiled at him and pushed herself up on the hospital bed. 'When are they coming?' she asked the question that had been on the tip of her tongue since she'd been told Lastborn and the woman who helped them were around.'They are just outside, I'll tell them that they can see you now.'Eniiyi smiled again, exc

'Shatap!' the leader commanded, but to no avail. Then he raised his gun again and shot a woman who was screaming the loudest. The bullet went through her forehead and came out the other end, the woman collapsed onto her side, her mouth and eyes still wide open in an unfinished scream.This

04:12 pm Lastborn shot Eniiyi an amused look and gently pulled down the headphones as though afraid it would break.'Why do you have that on?' he asked, chuckling.Eniiyi turned to him, her mind absent. 'Hey, Eniiyi, are you sure you're oka

'And why would he leave his business in his house to attend to your wish?'Lastborn smiled. 'Just so you know, he came by our house today and I overheard him telling Father he was going to the third village by noon today.'But Eniiyi still had her doubts. 'What if he already left? W

11:48 am. Later in the day found Eniiyi walking down the road escorted by two pages walking distantly behind her. She could feel numerous pairs of eyes on her as they walked the dusty, untarred road. Although she couldn't see anyone she knew there were people peering
