[6 moths ago]
[Along the corridor of a hotel, where Ebanehita worked as room service, Prof. Titus Idahosa was on a call exploding the plots to take down one of famous Nigerian universities in the Town.]
PROF. : [he stopped at his door to conclude the call since his other hand held his walking stick] Yes! Do not worry about the institution here. We will surely take it down. They think that they are smart and educated enough to tell the government of the school what to do. Don’t worry chief, there is nothing they can do about it. The university take down has just began.
[Ebanehita walked in on his conversation and heard enough. She was stunned to see that Prof had noticed her and was confused at the same time.]
PROF: Room service, yes? Please come. [He beckoned on her as if he was not concerned with what she might have heard. There was no proof.]
[He opened his door as she carefully approached. When she was close enough, he cleverly sent a jab to her throat so she couldn’t scream.]
[She had lost her voice instantly and the more she tried to let out a voice the more she got hurt. At the same time she felt a choking sensation as she let out muffled coughs.]
[She tried to run, but the Prof was fast enough and held her. He tried pushing her into the room, but she struggled. She knew if she entered. She would never come out. She pushed against the door frames while the Prof launched a few punches to weaken her and ease the process.]
[She succeeded a few times to escape but Prof. kept landing heavy punches to her abdomen. He landed her with slap that eventually knocked her down.]
[She was barely conscious. He dragged her by the leg into the room but she held on to the door frame.]
[Prof kicked her and moved to the door post and stepped on her hand. She felt the pain, but she could not scream. Her voice was still sketched from the jab to her throat.]
[He had succeeded and looked down on the helpless girl and shut the door.]
[Fortunately, the door stopped midway. Johnson appeared to have stopped the door and noticed the helpless girl on the ground.]
JOHNSON: Excuse me sir, what is going on here?
PROF.: It doesn’t concern you boy. Just walkaway.
[Ebanehita was almost pleased that someone was there at least. She was fairly relieved and tried to speak. But she couldn’t. ]
JOHNSON: She is one of the staff here, what has she done? [He looked around to see if anyone was around] Hello! Is anyone there?! [He called out].
[This struck the Prof who realised the implication of this. He let go of the door to let it open wide as he used the head of his walking stick jab his frontal bone, pulled him into the room and swung the full length of the stick to the back of his skull. He tripped on Ebanehita and fell. He locked the door and focused on the man first.]
[He sat on his chest and pressed the length of the walking stick against his throat to kill him. They struggled. Johnson struggled the most loosing his life force.]
[Luckily, Ebanehita gets up, picks something really strong in the room and lands a hit to the back of his head with whatever strength she had left.]
[Prof fell down and passed out.]
[Johnson finally breathed freely, forcing frank air in and out of his lungs.]
[She beckoned on Johnson to join her in leaving the room before he wakes up. But Johnson wanted to be sure he was still alive and moved closer to check his radial pulse. He couldn’t feel anything and tried his jugular pulse. There was no pulse.]
JOHNSON: H-H-He is dead!
EBANEHITA: [She was shocked. Her voice came in somehow and she opened her mouth to shout] Ah! [But her voice was worse than a genuine whisper].
JOHNSON: What do we do? Let’s call the police and tell them. [He asked and suggested]
EBANEHITA: Police? I am finished! They will not let me go easily.
[Just the a knock came from the door]
[They were stunned and if they were found out like this they would think they killed the Professor intentionally. They kept quiet and waited for her to leave.]
BECKY: Prof. It’s Becky. I have come here concerning the exam upgrade. Are you inside? [She tried unlocking the door but it was locked.]
[Johnson realised that she could call his phone and quickly removed it from his pocket and turn it off.]
[After a while she left.]
[They were relieved and continued to figure out what to do.]
