While Lake continuously muttered words but this was incoherently too low for the others to hear.Everyone was lost in the oceans of their thoughts, but one thing remained obvious – they were all heading into a war which their chances of survival were dangerously low.They were tensed. They were anxious.This was a crazy idea. Planning to fool the masters in their own game was very stupid, but here they were, doing exactly
Daniel’s jeep approached the huge black gate of the hospital. From afar, he noticed the vans of the men from the army parked at the side of the hospital’s wall. His brows snapped together, as he drove into the hospital.Looking around, Daniel could tell that something was very odd, and he couldn’t shake off the cold feeling that crept through his bones.On alighting from his car, after parking it under the garage canopy, he turned to the huge building, and saw Bayo hurriedly walk out – looking very unkempt and bothered.Daniel further noticed that he had several bruises on his arms, upon walking closer to him.“What’s going on?” Daniel asked.Bayo spun around – his eyes widen on seeing Daniel, and he coupled this up with his quizzical question, “You are here?”

Stroking her hair, Bayo watched Derin as she slept beside him. They had been discussing the trends – just about anything to take her mind off the incidence –when she began to yawn, and soon fell into a long slumber.He was sitting up on the small-sized clinical bed, enclosed with Derin – who snuggled up to him.He hated to see her hurt – both her and Bimpe. They were both the only true friends he had ever had – they were the one who truly understood him, and he in turn, understood them.The only thing he had failed to understand was the feeling that had developed in him towards Derin. He cared for her, and he desired to always have her around himself, but he just never found the guts to tell her this. His fear was at the thought of getting rejected, and losing her friendship.However, after the demise of her parents, he still
