The Me In You

Part 5

The road was busy in as much as it’s Saturday and not a working day but it didn’t stop people from spending time and having fun with their families and loved ones or going where they couldn’t have on a normal working day.

James relaxes his back and head on the seat, thinking about everything that has happened and what could have gone wrong. He couldn’t come up with any anything as his brain was busy wallowing in confusion. Never has he experienced such in his entire life.

A policeman could be sighted ahead blocking the way and waving them down. His trouser stops above his ankle exposing some part of his legs.

Ann slowed down then stopped before him.

The policeman moved close to them, “can I see your drivers licence?”

Ann opened a safe and took out a card giving it to him.

“I said your drivers licence!”, The policeman shouted.

“That’s it sir”

“Does this picture looks like you or are you trying to play with my intelligence”, he showed him the card.

“Officer I said that’s mine”, James replied.

“What is your name?”

“James”

“Full name!”

“James Obinna Nweze”

“I see! You think you are smart right? You think you can play me huh?”

“Sir what do you mean?”

“You are a criminal!”

“me?”

“Yes you! I know your type and I will handle you!”

He looked at James who has dozed off for a long time why thinking, “why is he sleeping?”

Ann was confused, “him? Who are you talking about? You mean her?”

James started snoring, his facial expression showing how scared he was, he was definitely having a bad dream.

On a dry land, nothing could be seen, James stood looking around and yearning for a sound but no atom of sound could be heard, everywhere was deadly quietly and empty not until he saw an office chair appear before him in a far distance facing backward, it rocks back and forth.

James moved forward with fear which heightens as he get closer, before he could reach for it, it turned.

“miss Mary!”, he shouted, “please don’t kill me!”, James pleaded when he saw her brought out a knife from her back.

“I won’t”, Miss Marry quietly said, “I only wants to eat my sausage”, she said bringing it out same place with the knife. Cutting some out, she offered to James, “have some, James!”

James looked around him, “i’m the only one”

“No you are not! Hahahahaha!”, miss Mary laughed before sticking one in to her mouth.

“James where are you? James!”, he screamed and jumped up.

The policeman cocks his gun at Ann, “you are hereby arrested for kidnapping Mr James, whatever you say or do will be used against you in the court of law, you have the right to remain silent!

“I am Mr James! How can you arrest me?”

“what’s going on here, who says I was kidnapped?”, James asked in confusion.

“Do you know this woman?”, the policeman asked still pointing his gun to Ann.

“He’s not a woman! He’s my husband for crying out loud and please stop pointing the gun at him”, James shouted.
