Sent For Me.

2.

On her plane ride Tamela took a mini nap cause she couldn't sleep throughout the night.

"You can save me... you can find me"  the voice in her head started.

"You have to save me" Tamela heard and she immediately woke up. It was as if the voice was more clearer , it was louder even and she was now scared herself.

Tamela immediately took the piece of paper that her husband gave her after she landed in Detroit. She stopped for a taxi entering the digits in her phone and when she finally found one , she got in and she tried the number.

The first time she called the phone went to voicemail and Tamela sighed. She continued to call the number again, it was scary because if someone answered she wouldn't know what to say or how she would say what she wanted to say.

"Where are you going miss?" the taxi driver asked and Tamela was distracted.

"Ma'am?" he called getting Tamela out of her trance and Tamela looked at him closing her flip phone.

"Huh?" Tamela asked.

"Where are you going?" the driver asked and Tamela cursed inwardly, she didn't even know where she was going.

"Uh... a church." Tamela said and saying it out loud she heard that it sounded stupid.

"There are a lot of churches here ma'am." The driver said and Tamela nodded.

"Uh... which church do you know? Can you list them for me?" Tamela asked and the driver looked at her weirdly through the rear view mirror.

"Ma'am there's-" he started to say slightly annoyed but Tamela cut her off.

"Wait, take me to a church where the First Lady is Karen Clark." Tamela said hoping that the man knew her and would catch on.

"Okay, now you're telling me something... I can do exactly that... that is my church." The driver said and Tamela put out a smile... everything was aligning.

"Really? Oh then I thank God." Tamela said.

"Yes... The Church of God in Christ by Bishop J Drew Sheard and our First Lady Karen Clark Sheard."  The man said confidently and Tamela smiled.

"Can you tell me more about your first lady?" Tamela said , hoping to know more details.

"What are you? Are you a fan? A creepy stalker?" He asked and Tamela chuckled.

"Uh no... we're family and I've never met her, my dad told me we have cousins in Detroit." Tamela said lying and she prayed to God to forgive her for lying this way.

"Ohh that's good... but unfortunately a tragedy hit our first family and it's been a really difficult time for our church." The driver said which only made Tamela curious... maybe that was the reason that she was there.

"Yeah? What happened?" Tamela asked.

"Our first lady is on life support and they probably switched off the machines." The man said sadly and Tamela's eyes shot up.

"Wait, what?" Tamela said, it was finally clear... this was what she was supposed to do. This was what was meant by her saving .

"Yeah, it's so sad. We were there yesterday at the hospital to share fond memories." The driver said.

"Can you take me to the hospital instead? They can't switch her off! She's still alive! " Tamela exclaimed and the driver looked back at her like she was crazy.

"Please... I'll explain on the way there." Tamela begged him and he finally agreed.

On the way to the hospital Tamela explained the crazy story to the driver and to her surprise the man actually believed her and he offered to help her. She apologised for lying the first time
