The moment I met you (Chapter 265)

By Nightengale Ben-Onyeukwu 



‘Quick, we need to save a lady who needs our help. She should be around The Johnsons Filling station,’Stanley told them when he hung up. ‘We need to split. First team, come with me for the rescue whiles the second team, should loop around in case the suspects try to escape.’                                                                                                              

‘Who’s this girl that we are going to save like she is the daughter of the president?’Another police officer murmured. ‘Anyway, I hope this isn’t another random theft.’                                                                           

Sighing, Stanley headed towards The Johnsons Filing station with his own team, the lights and sirens blare to clear out traffic. Stanley wanted to be the hero in Chioma’s heart. Perhaps, she would accept him if he was able to save her. However, he felt deep down that Chioma wouldn’t leave her boyfriend to run to him. So, he would just do his job as a police officer and expect nothing, instead of expecting to be her beau.                                                                            

         

 ‘Miss, there is no need to run anymore…’a deep voice yelled.                     

Chioma who was already tired from running stopped in her tracks and glanced over at the men who were almost closer to her. Seeing clearly the pistol in one of the men’s hand, Chioma almost passed out. But just like magic which happens in movies, Chioma found herself escaping again from them, but as she was about running into an alley, one of them caught her, blocking her way.                                                               

‘Miss, you are good with running even though you don’t have long straight legs. You could even win Olympic medals…’the man slowly said without emotionless. ‘However, we had to allow you to do some exercise so you will get tired and receive our beating with open arms.’ He glanced around. ‘Thankfully, this place isn’t on GPS…no one will come for your rescue.’
