CHAPTER ONE
"Bwaa!!" That came the sound of someone falling from the roof.
The female student remains alive but, has this uncontrollable breathing as if about dying soon. Just at the right time, a student came passing by the scene when he came across the creature struggling to live.
He immediately crutched over the female student immediately he identified the female student. He started crying and trying to cover the head that the blood keeps gushing out from.
"Yusuf" the female student called under her struggling breath.
"Yes, Yes, Yes sister!" the student whom is called Yusuf responded as tears continue dropping from his eyes.
"Please call the ambulance, I don't want to die" she struggled saying in a full sentence.
Yusuf reached out for his phone in his back pocket of his uniform trouser.
As soon as he got hold of his phone, he looked up at the roof and saw two figures. As if the figures knew they were being watched, they moved away.
Yusuf was contemplating on two options whether to run after those figures or stay with his elder sister when his receiver picked the call;
"Hello! It is 911 on the emergency line" the receiver from the other line said
"Hello, hello… my sister is losing a lot of blood. She fell from the roof to the ground floor"
"Where exactly are you?"
"Truth and Justice College, at the back of the school building on the ground floor." Yusuf answered immediately
"Okay, we will come right there!" the receiver said as the call ended.
"They are coming, please stay strong" Yusuf said to his sister as he continue holding her and using his other hand to cover the place blood was gushing out from.
The sister remained conscious without moving any parts of her body, she tried enduring.
Minutes later…
The ambulance drove inside the school's compound bringing the students attention on what is going on.
The van drove to the back building and picked up the female student with a ward bed and placed her on oxygen.
Yusuf insisted in following his sister, after all the resistance, the emergency staffs allowed him to follow them to the hospital in their van.
The students of the college were all surprised because, this is the first time such thing is happening in the school.
They started whispering questions to themselves as they watched the van leave.
"Isn't that Mariam?" Jessica, one of the students asked
"What makes you think that, Jessica?" Michael, the other student beside the student called Jessica asked.
"Isn't that her brother that followed the van, Yusuf?" Jessica asked as she continued watched the van take a reverse turn to make his way outside of the school compound.
"Oh… Didn't take note of that"
"Are you telling me such a nice girl like that almost got killed?" Elizabeth asked with a sigh and a nod of her head.
"That is how we see it" Jessica shrugged
"You know how they say it, bad people live longer than the good people" Michael shrugged as he turned with his friends to leave the scene
"Who said that?" Elizabeth asked as she looked at Michael with a questioning look
"I don't know but, it really hits" Michael smirked as he looked at Elizabeth
"Just get out!" Elizabeth said as she walked ahead of Michael
…
In the final year class of criminal case course,
Floral entered the class just as soon as the professor left the class.
"Do you know what happened?" Floral asked as she sat on the chair Victoria stood up from.
"Hey!" Victoria said as she noticed Floral on her chair.
"Sorry, just found it vacant" Floral shrugged
"I thought you were supposed to be having criminology, what happened?" Gabriel asked as he picked up his bag from the floor
"The class was postponed till next week" Floral answered with a smile forgetting what she came to her friends' class for.
"Lucky you, Doctor Stones just sent us a mail attaching our assignments which is due tomorrow morning and, it will takes all night plus extra hour to do the assignments" Gabriella, the twin of Gabriel, responded with a groan
"One of the reasons I am leaving for home now, as soon as possible." Gabriel stated as he dropped his bag on the table and zipped it close.
"Yes, me too." Victoria said as she as well zipped her bag
"By the way Flow, what did you want to say before you got interrupted?" Gabriella asked as she backed her backpack and stood in front of Floral.
"Oh, that." Floral said as she removed her bag from her back and put it on her lap.
She opened her bag and brought out her phone, she tapped on a video on her phone and showed them.
They stretched their necks to see the video
The video captured Mariam lifeless body as she is being carried into the ambulance van and her brother entering the van with the emergency doctors
"Isn't that Mariam?" Gabriella asked as she turned her face away from the video to face Floral
"Yeah, exactly as you see in the video" Floral answered as she nodded her head.
"Why? How?" Gabriella asked worried as she sat back on her chair.
"I know right? That was the same question I asked myself as well. A whole Miriam?" Floral said as she looked at Gabriella
"You met her on the ground?" Gabriel asked as he looked at Floral with a questioning expression.
"Yeah, when I got there, they were already carrying her body on the bed" Floral explained as she switched off her phone and put it into her bag.
"That means, it is either she fell from the roof or was hit by something from the roof or the ground floor" Gabriel concluded as he turned to look at his twin sister.
"Yes, I agree but, there can't be any possible thing that might or can hit her on the ground floor. We should exclude that thought" Victoria said as she looked at Gabriel with a serious face.
"True!" Gabriella responded
"Anyhow, we will find out the source of her death by tomorrow." Floral said as she stood up from Victoria's chair
"Yeah, everyone is a prime suspect now." Gabriel said as he took turn looking at Gabriella, Victoria and Floral
"Yeah and you too." Gabriella responded as she stood up as well
"I didn't say I wasn't part" he said as he shrugged
"Let's go, I am so hungry. I am sure my aunt will be expecting us in her restaurant" Floral said smiling as she hopped while leaving the class with her friends.
