Isabel wisped back; Well I'm trying to help us, we can't continue renting a bus to come back, that's a lot of money… but if Mr. Michael drive's it, we'll have full chance of coming back with it.

"Yeah you are right, why didn't I thought of that, she whispered, "because the tiny worms in your stomach are feeding on your brain? Isabel giggled "just kidding"

"Don't worry Mr. Max, we already have a driver, said Benita,

"oh thank you so much, finally I can rest, this driving work is too much for me, especially yesterday I nearly fell sick. "oh sorry, poor pity" Isabel whispered and received a spank on her shoulder "What has come over you? "What? What did I do wrong? She questioned Benita. Max kept looking at them and interrupted; And please who so ever, that will be driving this bus, must handle it with care, thank you bye have a nice trip, said Max he stood up and left. Sofia arrived with her luggage as Mr. Michael quickly collected it putting it into the booth.

Old Mrs. Gift was already on her usual mission waiting for her arrival, seeing Sofia she watched closely, "this little witch, I haven't viewed you for days now.. who knew? it was you who manipulated my dreams lately, I'll make sure you go on this trip.. and get blown up, in fact non of your piece will be lift, evil witchcraft…

"Mr. Michael you're the driver now, said Isabel

"wait a minute, where is your luggage, Isabel asked.

"Oh that.. it's already in the booth, I kept it with those cooking appliances yesterday, Ola replied her.

(Two smoked up characters) Paul ran out of the company like a house mouse been chased by a cat, he gently secluded himself into the booth, the chief commander rushed out of the company seeing Paul's leg sneaking into the booth, he quickly went after him gently taking his step, he went in as well, smiling with his teeth wildly opened,

"What's that on your hand, Sofia asked,

"oh this it's a material I brought, so we could lay it on the floor, Ola answered throwing it into the booth from where he was sited,

Michael stood up; ok I think it's time for us to leave. Both Paul and Chief commander were trying to pull off the material, when Mr. Michael came closing the booth with out looking. "it has been two weeks now ever since my car broke down, (he rejoiced inwardly) finally a wheel is on my both hands again" they drove off.

Valentine was in a minute with his fellow party members, (clearing throat)

"we've come to a conclusion, after our primary election last month, votes counts that Mr. Frederick Valentine here, will be competing for the up coming Presidency post in our country Nigeria, and we are going to be supporting him with our little help. As for his campaign he's going to organize that from his own porkect.. he promised, (everyone in the room clapped), "So I call on our honorable president, who will be stepping down from his sit next year 2023, we welcome President John stone. (everyone began to clap their hands).

"Hello everyone I'm happy to be here with you all, and as a full member of the D.H.D democratic party, and also.. as the president of this country, which I'm still ruling and making plans for the future. You all know how I got here, with out your support and without your hands getting stained, I perhaps won't be standing here as the president of this country, but there is a problem we will be facing this time around. " one of our opponent is a very dangerous man, nice but he turns his ears against mercy, he campaigned for two thousand and ten election and he won, I'm saying all this my fellow men, women and gangsters, twenty, twenty three election is prophesied to be a bloody field. " Mr. Valentine please can you stand beside me, Valentine quickly got up from his sit, hurry, rushing to the stage. (continuous applause) Valentine bowed his head first to the present President, and then bowed before the people, "Mr. Valentine what do you've to say? to your supporting party, said the president.

Valentine took in a breath before making his speech; I'm grateful to you all my fellow members, you voting for me here as your twenty, twenty three president won't be a mistake, I'll continue building D.H.D from where our honorable President John stone stopped at, refurnishing your pockets and I promise that fifty percent of my money will be used to support our party every month, (members cheering) as both the president and Valentine shaked hands together giving each other a bow, with a slightly smile on their face before going off the stage.

" thank you Mr. President, thank you Mr. Valentine, we'll always support you both on every decision you make.

During the trip, Mr. Michael shared a box of chocolate with them all, while Paul and chief commander John kept salivating, "oh my, this is so sweet, I've been chewing four for hours, said Isabel chewing, "my little boy loves it so much, Mr. Michael told Isabel, "oh, she reacted dropping the far gone chocolate on the box, "not a kid any more" she thought. Mr. Michael watched her through the driver's mirror laughing silently. (Stomach rumbles) they all looked at each other, (Stomach rumbles) all eyes now fixed on Isabel close to the booth, "it's alright, we know, you don't have to explain, Ola told her handing over the chocolate back to her, she limitedly collected it, (Stomach rumbles) Isabel gave no chance for another rushing the chocolate into her mouth, Old Mrs. Gift kept on following them, "excuse me please do you have some table water" the cab driver wanted to refuse her, but seeing his water so obvious beside him, he said; mam, I've opened it already and taken a sip out of it. "and so What? Does that have anything to do with fact of my throat in need liquid? she asked, she took the water herself to open it , she found out it has never been opened. "What a terrible liar you're" (Continuously swallowing liquid, loud relived satisfaction) "never expected the sun will be so heavy today, she told him covering the plastic water, without returning it she placed it beside her "please don't lose them ok" "yes mam...

"Oh finally we're here "wow!, said Ola raising his hands up in excitement, smiles were on their faces except Isabel who was over load on chocolate. Looking at the one story building painted with white color, Sofia said placing her hand on Isabel's shoulder; wow this house is beautiful, take a close look at the roof curve and that relaxation area, but there is no pool,

"yeah this is one of the companies properties, there are more around here with good view and wiled animals to be seen, but for now.. I'm loaded please…

Sofia interrupted; oh I'm sorry.. Hmmm looking at this house it's kind of small for everyone in the company, immediately Isabel began to laugh placing her hand on her tommy.

"Oh my, Sofia how do you expect everyone to sleep at once, it goes like this, the CEO's apartment first, the fashion designing apartment second, the electrical appliances third, as for the food department they don't come because…

"ahhh guys Mr. Michael screamed, all of them ran to him wandering, while Isabel walked with the support of the bus. "what was wrong?

"what's it, Mr. Michael! Ola asked.

"Look there is something hiding at the back of the material, said Michael.

"No there is nothing here it just my material, I know because.. (immediately the material move), "ahhh, Ola shouted dashing into Michael as they both fell to the ground, the two cat and mouse dashed came out of the bus still with the material on,

"Oh my goodness did it just move, it's coming closer "no.. mum!, said Ola, they both passed out, immediately Isabel knocked it out with a stick, hard thud to the ground, Isabel used the stick fearfully, trying to pull the material, as Sofia held her she screamed out of fear going on her kneels and pleading with her eyes closed; I'm sorry I didn't mean to.. it wasn't intentionally, ahhh.. please don't posses me, (beating her chest) I'm not sweet for dinner at all, I'm very bitter, eat Sofia instead she is beautiful, sweet and healthy if you eat me you won't be able to sleep or seduce men I'm poisonous, I'm poisonous baby.

"but I love poisonous meal and that's the only way I can survive, said Sofia pretending to be a ghost,

"No, no don't eat me, because I gossip a lot you know what that means? You'll eventually became a gossip like, ok fine I'm sweet, delicious… "well Said... you said it your self not me, so I'm free to posses you.

"No!!, said Isabel as she quickly opened her eyes seeing Sofia, "ahhh Sofia it's you silly lady, Sofia began to laugh,

"look at you, come on get up, said Sofia stretching her hand forward, assisting Isabel to get up, Sofia quickly opened the material seeing the chief commander and his partner Paul,(surprise gasp).

"What in the world are this two doing here, how did they got in without us knowing? Isabel asked.

Benita was hiding in the bus, she quickly came out with a bottle of water, she sprinkled it on them, but they did not wake up, Old Mrs. Gift kept watch from distance.

"Why aren't they waking up, Isabel what have done, Benita questioned Isabel.

"May be you should try pouring all the whole water on them, Isabel suggested. Benita quickly opened the bottle, emptying the water can on them, but still no response, Sofia took a good look at them properly, she lifted the stick trying to hit them again, Benita quickly held her,

"Stop!! do you want kill them? Benita asked.

"Nope why would I want to kill them, I just want to use the stick to wake them up, said Sofia. Hearing what she said, Immediately both partners woke up, stretching their bodies,

"where am I, where am I, Oh my goodness my head hurts, where am I? They both screamed on top of their voices, immediately a hard hit landed on their head again, "huh" they both reacted with a hard thud to the ground (surprise gasp)

"Isabel!, Benita called her name in anger, Sofia was still confused, on how Isabel was able to take the stick from her hand, without her noticing it. "didn't you two notice, this two penguins stomach just rumbled, that mean I've been killing my self over six hours with chocolates like a kid…

"come on let's leave, there should be a hotel around here" Old Mrs. Gift told the cab driver.

"Philip you haven't done what I sent you, Said Valentine.

"father, I'm on it just give me some time, don't be in a hurry, said Philip. Valentine phone rang, he quickly picked it.

"Hello Ogbolo how is it going? Valentine asked.

"boss every thing is going as planed, the old lady wasn't an easy woman to deal with her physical strength bemused me, but she won't be walking for now, said Ogbolo.
