Efe

I grunted as I placed him on the bed

You might be wondering why he's still out because that stunt I pulled is supposed to have worn out by now?

Well, to put it simply, he is drunk

I folded my whore clothes and tucked it under the bed before looking out the window

It was small but big enough for me to escape through then climb down the pipes

What are the things I took from that man?

His phone? Check.

His wallet? Check.

His coat? Check. What? I'm not going to escape and try getting killed by mother nature's cold

And his gun- what? Don't be surprised

I lived in a village remember? The use of guns- hunter's gun precisely- was a common thing plus the fact that I lived most of my life with my dad

It's one of the reasons why I am sort of a tomboy

Anyways, back to the phone at hand

"Shit!" I muttered

This isn't any ordinary phone

I went through the call logs, the contacts- it seemed more like a work phone than the casual phone anyone would have to make phone calls to family or friends

Hm.

The files?

"Jesus" I blurted before looking round to be sure no one's following me and that I haven't gotten the attention of any passerby

The files well, the particular file I checked is a blueprint to a facility called 'Bird house'- but that's not the point, the point is that the person I stole from is definitely in a gang and my bets on the fact that the phone's been tracked as we- I speak

I won't be surprised if the man had actually woken up minutes after I left

Oh. My. Goodness

He definitely did !!

I need to loose the phone. Pronto

But where would I go from here? Damn it!

Or I could let them catch me. Hm? That seemed better

First, I'm going to save everything to the cloud as I memorised the dude's account name and password

But this is a blue print? Shit! When have I not watched or heard that two or more gangs are fighting over it?

Yep, I definitely wished I had a laptop

I sighed as smashed the phone and continued walking to wherever my feet leads me

I commit the walk to fate, if the bad guys get to me first then so be it, if the good ones, then purr

And that's when I saw it- behind me

A shadow

Oh my goodness

This soon?

I haven't slept since yesterday, or is it now the day before yesterday- I need to stop thinking about this and think about escaping

Okay, okay- I breathe out

I can't walk through shady places if not I'd loose sight of who is following me so, I'd walk through main streets with tons of street light and further in the side walk so no hands would grab me and pull me into an alley

I sighed tiredly

I'm tired

I reached a cross section and nearly lost my life to the car that swirled in front of me

"Get in if you want to live" The man I rendered unconscious said from the shotgun

What?

I blinked before I entered the back seat of the car

"How are you awake?" I blurted as I sat at the back eyeing the driver who was scowling and the man who sat beside me

Hm.

"You know, you're in no position to question me" The man said

I wonder what he's name is- I put my hand in my pocket not missing the way the guy beside me stiffened

Chill bro, I just want to bring out his wallet

"Hm. Tyler Pearson?" I read aloud

I'm supposed to be panicking even this is no kidnapping since I willing got into the car- I'd do that in the morning

Tyler snorted

"I thought you aren't supposed to be educated?" Tyler muttered

"And I thought you'd still be asleep" I scowled in irritation

"I could just send you back to that whorehouse or leave you on the street " Tyler retorted

My scowl deepened

I dare you to try. This man underestimates me

"Where is the phone?" The man seating beside me asked

Ah- the billion dollar question

I could play this two ways, either act like I don't know or like I do

Hm. I wonder

"Ask me in the morning, biko? I'm tired and I won't answer you well, I've hit my bus stop" I muttered instead

Which was true, I can already feel myself slipping into unconsciousness

"Wait, what, you are-"

Supposed to? I'm guessing? Well, I never found out because I finally slept off
