AFTER 168 HOURS [BOOK 2,168 HOURS SERIES]

Chapter 16: Exposure

"I must go to Gwagwalada to report myself to the police." He muttered.
"I can't let an innocent girl suffer like this. Only God knows if she survived that hit, Mario gave her."

The morning was warm and beautiful. Simon, a.k.a Scorpion was so upset about the dream, it felt so real.
'I still can't believe I got beaten by Zombies and I'd managed to survive death. Who knows what would happen next? What would happen tomorrow if I don't confess today?' He thought, fighting with the hysteria in his head and rubbing a healing balm to the wipes and stripes over him, making him look like a black and red striped zebra.

Looking so horrible, Scorpion tried taking his bath that morning but it felt like hell. He just had to put on his clothes and set off to the police station. He didn't even bother taking his breakfast or calling Mario. The scenes of the dream were still playing before his eyes.
Without wasting time, he sets out and locks the door. Off to submit himself to the Nigerian Police Force.

On getting there, the other passengers stared at him as he moaned and hissed from time to time. Some even covered their nose and avoided any form of contact with him so as not to get infected but who cares? Who fucking cares? All in his mind is to CONFESS...

In no time, Scorpion got to Gwagwalada. He boldly walked into the police station.

'It was already 10:37 a.m, the D.P.O should be on the seat.' the scorpion thought as he walked in.

"Good morning sir." He greeted one of the officers he first met. He was a constable.

"Morning, how can I help you?"

"I'm looking for the D.P.O. Is he around?"

"Why do you want to see the D.P.O?" The constable wore a small frown. "What's your relationship with him?"

"It's very important sir., is on the seat? I need to see the D.P.O today." Scorpion blurted.

And why do you want to see him?! You can just walk in here to meet the D.P.O. without an appointment at least. Are they in any way related? The officer asked.

I want to tell him something. I want to confess. I want to give a statement!" Scorpion hissed.

"Just tell me what it's about, I'd take it down for you and hand it over to the D.P.O whenever he arrives."

"I won't tell you what it's about until I meet the Superintendent of Police! I saw his car parked outside and I know that he's in! Look! I need to see him immediately. I know he's in his office so help me inform him, please. Take me to meet him so that I can confess!" He complained in a high-pitched tone.

"Stop making noise already, Mister! Don't you know where you are?! Are you crazy or what's with your mendular!"

"You police officers! Why are you so difficult to handle? Later, you'd call yourselves our friends! What you mean is the opposite!

"Watch your mouth Mister!" The constable warned with rage lacing his thick, masculine voice.

Too bad, He had injuries all over his body. And he wants to end all his bed ways else, he'd have thought the constable some senses that morning.

Hearing the noise, a sergeant came out from an office.

"And what's happening here?!"

"No mind am o! He just comes dey para says he won see oga!"

"Who are you and what do you want?" The tall and slim-looking sergeant asked him in a low voice.

I'm Simon but people call me Scorpion. I'm a murderer. I am an armed robber and a kidnapper as well.
