Emmanuel thought about what to do as he roamed about the park in search of James who ran out of the house in pursuit of the unseen. Emmanuel kept asking a few passersby if they saw anyone with a red T-shirt and black Jean trousers running after 'something'. He wasn't sure of the 'something' but he just wanted the passersby to comprehend him. Their response made him devastated and confused.

He checked his wristwatch and the time was already 6:00 in the evening. He couldn't suppress the tears that were swelling in his eyes. The day was dark already. He sat near a pole thinking of what to do.

He suddenly heard voices behind him. He turned back and saw no one in particular but he could hear the voices. He decided to trace the voice. He became very tired after trying to locate the voice all to no avail. He relented and checked his wristwatch the second time by then the time ticked 10 PM in the night.

He became scared and decided to run back home but he couldn't because it was dark already. He decided to hide in one of those kiosks by the roadside, maybe he could still figure out the voices.

Two hours later, he woke up,realizing he had been sleeping, got angry with himself and wanted to leave the place when he saw a figure standing beside a car, it looked like a man in black hood. Few minutes later, he suspected another figure like that of a boy, so he decided to look vividly to see if it was James.

He was taken aback when he saw three other tough-looking guys coming out of their hideout. He looked and found out that the boy was tied hands and mouth. He noticed the three men who came out from their hideout, were wearing masks but the other was not, each of them carrying a very dangerous weapon. He tried to recognize the boy's face but he couldn't because it was very dark.

He thought about what to do. He wanted to scream for help but he couldn't because these men might get hold of him. Besides, it was an Expressway, so, no one was on the road at that moment except for those men he suspected as kidnappers.

Trapped in a state of the dilemma he decided to wait and see the next action of these men. He listened to their conversation as they conversed in low tones with a distinct language he couldn't fathom. He became upset as he couldn't hear what they were saying. He waited and waited until he heard one of the men say "let's go". He looked and their car sped past where he was. He was lucky he wasn't found but was unlucky to find himself in the hands of the watchman on guard that night.
