Chapter 8.

Nife's POV:

Documenting the details of her nightmare word for word was not as easy as she thought it would be,reliving it brought a chill up her spine and she shivered,this was a dark,twisted,evil thing to do to a child.
She fell violated already,she could not even handle her pen well,thinking of the little girl brought tears to her eyes,she wiped them quickly knowing it was past time to give room for weakness,she had to do something for the girl.

And so the first thing she did was to make sure her details were very orderly,and then when she was through with penning it down with shaking hands she closed the book and decided that is any news about a kidnap case should rise up,she owed it to the girl to supply the law with her visions.
Even if it was going to expose her and disrupt her peace,she would make sure the evil man is caught and would suffer for his crimes .

Standing up now that it was already 7:45 knowing by now people would already be up and going about their lives,she decided to trek all the way to the shop which was in the heart of their little city. She figured it would help to unwind her mind from this morning.
Walking with her bicycle by her side,she was so lost in thought that passersby had to move away from her path for fear of getting hit by her,getting herself she apologized to those she could and greeted people on the way .

If there was one thing she knew about her country people,it was that once you greeted them everything seems to be right with the world again,regardless of what little offense you had done.
She got to her shop no later than past 8,which was unusual for her since she always got to work before 8 ,so she could clear the working space for the day's work.

She greeted her next door neighbors in her shop complex,setting her bag down she started to take inventory of all the essential oils and remedies that are always on demand,noting that everything was in order she cleared her space and opened the shop.
Moving to her balcony she allowed the smell of flower to wait their her nose,she always did this cause it seems to set her day.
No sooner had she started scribbling into her work book ,she received a customer attending to him another came by it was usually like this.

She barely had time for herself through the day,seeing as the cold seems to bring customers in search of her minty tea to help them,she bored to herself that she would have to stock up on that.
She liked her life it was simple,she was usually on her own except for her friend Shalewa who worked as a secretary in a law firm,though there was the usual male attraction associated with a young female,she just did not think any of them interested her.

Finally finding time for herself,she ordered for a meal of jollof rice and switched on the TV to take her afternoon-evening meal,she was always busy so she most times missed lunch,switching the channel for something specific she could not find anything relating to the event of her vision.
Seeing as disturbing herself over something which might not be happening,she was happy at the turnout truly believing maybe it was just only a nightmare and nothing more.

With her renewed spirit,she switched the TV to a soap opera and relaxed ,and with this notion she went about her day ......
