I looked through the crowd but couldn't find my dad.
'Sigh.'
Trust him to be late. I went back to the visitors lounge and sat beside a lady who seemed to be waiting for her ward. I avoided eye contact so that I wouldn't be asked to go look for him or her. Besides I didn't want a case where I'd leave only for my dad to come looking for me.
Wrong move.
'Errmm .......excuse me' she said in a squeaky voice.
I really didn't want to turn but squeaky voice lady's eyes were boring holes into the back of my head. I turned to look at her and gave a tight smile. Besides what choice did I have? It was just the two of is in there.
She smiled back. 'Would you mind fetching Doris Asiamah for me?
'But auntie Doris already left'
'She left?' She asked me in shock.
'Yes her dad picked her up.' I said a bit surprised myself.
'I'm supposed to be in custody her. This man better have a good explanation.' She rambled on taking out her phone in the process.
I looked outside. It had started to look empty and I was still here. I checked the time on my watch. Fifteen minutes to four. That reminded me
I hadn't seen Nicole the whole day. Strange. When I woke up her stuff was gone. Her parents must have picked her up early. She didn't even say good bye. I raised my head to the retreating back of Doris' mom. She turned and gave me a small nod while ranting away on the phone to someone I figured must be Doris' dad. Since I was alone now I lay back on the bench.

As soon as I got home I rushed out of the car heading upstairs. I had been holding my pee for so long I could feel it in my teeth. I opened the door so hard I'm sure if I had added a little more force it would have come off it's hinges. I did a little dance taking off my skirt and sat to release all that dirty liquid.
After peeing I went over to the sink to wash my hand. I raised my head to pick the soap. That's when I saw it. A dark figure. It was standing behind me. I turned around swiftly but it was gone. Just when I was about to turn, a pair of hands grabbed my shoulders. I made to scream but it pulled me into the mirror......
I woke with a start. I took in a deep a breath and let it out. It was a only a dream. I checked the time it was three minutes past seven and my dad was still not in.
'Grace?'
I raised my head 'daddy!'
I run to embrace him.
'I thought you weren't coming.' I said into his shirt
'How can I leave my little boss here? I'm really sorry for coming late I had some business to deal with.' He explained.
'Why are you dressed in black?'
'Have you been crying?'
I asked when I noticed his eyes and dark clothes.
'Who died?'
'Grace you ask so many questions. Let's go home, I'm tired.'
He said walking out of the visitors lounge.
I stared after him. My dad was definitely hiding something. And it didn't look good.
