The students would not have gone as far as searching his bag, because after their actions they sat down and bit their lips regretting, they felt like selfish driven persecutors but they could not return with what they saw in his bag and all their excitement died down and gave way to disillusion, they were like servant dragging out a king to expose his dirty linen to the world. When senior Efe and Deborah noticed the long time the students took in appearing they went to meet them and before their eyes they saw up to eleven clothes spread out with people name on them one was also Efe dress it was a beautiful gift during her sixteen birthday last year from clothes line was believed to have been stolen by a student two weeks ago. "Which clothes are these ones?" asked Deborah pointing to the spread out clothes. "Oh? on all of them, no has his name that is all we know" answered Grace pretending to be nonchalant about the whole exercise. "All right then, some one should go for Ben, it is almost an hour since him left, I wonder what him has been doing" suggested Deborah. "I will go my self," volunteered Efe moving away with out waiting for a reply from any one , she looked worried, drained, down cast and exasperated, the other pitied her as she left their midst, they wished that she had not so much hope in charging the life style of this spoilt child. Minutes later after a charged silence, Efe came in crying she held Ben firmly by the hand tears gathered in her eyes, what a surprised The other was that before Ben left them, he wore a lengthy top and very short shots , but now the short were nowhere to be found, Efe packed up all Ben stolen clothes into a box and gave him some money, she wrote a very short letter, which she dipped into Ben pocket, all the while the other students had been trying to make Efe to talk but that had only made her to cry and hiccup the more . "Senior Efe please, I am very sorry I did not do it intentionally, please oh everybody beg her for me what shall I tell my mother, everybody beg her for me, oh, Pamela I know that you hate me but please help me, oh God" Cried the red eyed Benedicta know as Ben crawling on the ground with his knees.
Efe whose anger at this moment was uncontrollable pushed Ben away and hushed down Deborah who was trying to make a protest, Till date non of the students know of Ben offence though they had an idea besides his theft, but Efe, and Ben, God and whoever might have been involved or told only known the truth, this ended the ugly episode of Ben rampage, thereafter the other students started breathing freely until.... Pamela looked through a window into the sky line and saw the appearing moon, that was just past eleven in the night, in five days they will leave the camp to attend the party, which Chief Osagie had promised to throw for them, Pamela looking forward to the party anxiously, she had overslept in the afternoon and her subject that night was mathematics, after solving some questions with out getting to a successful conclusion. she felt drained and unhappy, Mathematics had always been her problem while English language was her favorite, she wished she likes senior Efe who was unbeatable both in English language and Mathematics, she could have gone to sleep but she restive because of her inability to get her Mathematics formula sorted out. Looking into the night she suddenly felt cold and lonely there was total silence inside the school, suddenly it dawned on her that they were the only people in the school premises, for once fear gripped her, quickly she glanced at the other they were all aborted in their books, Pamela made a conscious effort to shake off her fears, "Caleb is a liar " she consoled herself and tried to leave the window but for some unknown reasons she could not, nature of course has it own way of speaking Pamela stood for some time agitated, she was anticipating some horrible things to happen, so she stood gazing at emptiness. There was a sound! A car engine, dying off, the banging of car doors and whistling, then stillness crept over the whole area again. Apprehensively, she asked the other girls the question bothering her, slightly leaving the window. " Do you guys hear any sounds?" The other girls laughed at her, but Efe seeing Pamela fear stricken face cooed. "No, Pamela please, please leave the window it is your imagination or is Ben back?"Grace said. They all looked at each other "Of course not" they thought that Ben would be far away from them. Before she could continue they all heard some approaching footsteps and froze gazing at each other in dismay, they doorknob seemed to move, they screamed in fright , Efe quickly regaining her sense and ordered emphatically. "Some one should escape and get my uncle" "Now at night?" asked the others "Yes now!" ordered Efe. Luckily the door had been safely locked from within but their joy was short lived when something move besides the window, acting impulsively, Pamela dashed to where the toilet was, she heard screams, which were loud enough to bulge the eardrum from their position, she heard a voice, which sounds like a rumble of thunder demanding "where are the others?" for a reply, she heard loud screamed of "no more, we are complete". She shivered uncontrollably at the thought of what might happen to her friends , on the alert, she stayed on for what seemed to be an eternity praying hard not to be discovered and hoping to run out of the school through the gate whenever the men were have gone, before daybreak, she planned to find a convenient place to pass the night and then she would inform chief Osagie of what had happened. At last! She heard the roaring of a car and it movement, holding her hands to her chest she left out a sigh of relief, peeping, she glanced through the now empty class room and seeing no soul she walked to the door and snacked out silently, she locked the door and turned round slowly with the aim of viewing her surrounding probably when she got the scare of her life and almost choked to death, what she saw was beyond mere imagination, she halted to a total standstill, out of fear she could not look directly at the face of the figure towering above her. Slowly, she looked from the sole of his shoes carefully up to his eyes level only to meet a rumpled face of a giant man, she saw what was like a glint of murder in his eyes and thought that she was dreaming quickly, she pinched herself, when she felt the pain , she knows that this was not a mere nightmare, stupidly, she screamed above her voice and when she saw a sinister look spread over his face, she took to her heels.
