Chapter 16

My door was ajar when I got home, I was sure I didn't leave it so. I placed my ear close to the slightly opened door for any sound, there was none. As usual there wasn't electricity so I couldn't see much, but when I put on my rechargeable lantern..what I saw was shocking..

My television had a hole in the middle, with wood from my broken wall hanger in it. My clothes had been slashed, I could smell something really awful but I couldn't find the location. I sat down to place a call to Abayomi..then I saw it. Whoever had broken in must have been suffering from dysentery. My bed was splattered with human dung and urine. I placed the call..

Me: Abayomi, somebody broken into my apartment

Abayomi: I think you should come to my house

Me: I say my house was burgled and all u can say is that I come to your house?

Abayomi: Just come

He hung up..

Toun was at the door when I got to his apartment, she led me inside where I met a worried looking Abayomi and Timi. I quickly explained to them what happened to my apartment.

Abayomi: Timi's apartment was ransacked too..

Me: your bed had dung on it?

I faced Timi..

Timi: No, I think he emptied his stomach on yours.

Me: what did they do to your apartment?

Timi: my laptop is gone, the tap in my bathroom was left on and the water channeled to my room, my rug was torn with different patches of holes in it..

I laughed…c'mmon it was funny..

Abayomi: I called Uche, we have to meet him at Aiyegbami in 30 minutes.

He looked at me, his eyes daring me to refuse. I looked at Timi, his face was blank. Toun hugged me from behind…

Me: Alright..
