“The perfect time to do all the day was too bright to accomplish.”
“Aella what’s the plan.” Monna said as we stood outside. The hostel had a story, the top had a balcony and that was where we sat to talk. The seniors are busy doing whatever they are doing in the room so we decided to excuse them, it was a decision that was made by force and not willingly.
I wasn’t going to just sleep and forget that someone just disgraced me and is acting so good about it, that wasn’t going to be happening, a least not on my watch.
So, entering inside the room, I had a plan, a plan that was going to take all night but I had to act. I had to act like an angry fool to deceive them. I Had to make them think I was frustrated and I did. I mean come on; I am an actress in the disguise but any who.
“So, this is the plan, I will have to go through her phone and see how she edited the audio, now there are apps for this, like we just searched so most definitely she did edit it, now I will look for the original audio and send it to myself, then I will proof my innocence tomorrow.” I said to Monna as she looked at me impressed.
“Well, that’s good but that will mean, we need to be very, very quiet, in order not to wake her up when she is finally asleep. That’s one but also how do we go past her security? Her phone is locked, so…” she added as it hit me… That’s true, if she does have a password then we really can’t do anything….no, no, no. This just ruined my plans, there has to be a way.
 in this time there was nothing called face id or facial unlock but there was touch id, password and pins that was the way to go normally so this would be tricky, knowing Sarah she should own a phone that has a touch id because she is loaded, she is rich in her own way.
I have to see her code or something, that was the only way for me to through with this plan.
“We will have to see what she uses to unlock her phone.” I said as I moved from one position to another in worry.
Then they came up with this plan.
I t was going to have a bit of acting and voice raising. I leaned in to tell her and she nodded.
“Leave me alone.” I shouted at Monna, making my voice audible.
“What’s your problem, jeez, would you calm down and listen, you know what never mind, Mrs. hot blooded, get angry and see if that will change anything, I really never knew you are this impetuous but now I do…Mtcheew.” she said as she opened the door, hissing.
The word (Mtcheew) is a hiss but it’s not widely accepted, it was formed here in west Africa, we learned how to type expressions and give expressions words to represent them before stabilizing our very power supply ….okay we are overstepping here lest get back.
So, this was phase one of the plan.
They would think we had a fight and I would have to stay here for a while and then go inside or maybe the pompous seniors may call me in.
Now, I already deducted how the next plan was going to work out, you see we had two bunk beds and 1 normal bed. The normal bed has no frame and is at the corner, in fact it’s small, so I am sure no one will puck that bed but if they do, I will need a signal from Monna.
Now the second question is how would I get a signal from Monna, well guess what Monna brought her power bank so I will be using the power bank here while I am outside then she will send me messages of confirmation for me to re strategies or rest easy, now the plot twist is, everyone thinks my phone is dead and it was because If it wasn’t then the bus incident would have been less dramatic. Everybody inside would think that I do not have power in my phone or my phone is dead but it won’t be or let’s say it isn’t. Now that’s phase one.
11:35pm.
“Ping.” My phone rang out. Yup, they are now asleep. Now I have a list of commands to follow and command one was.
Her phone security is with touch ID but the secondary is a pin, not a password. The pin was stated but the problem was there was more than one, she wrote down 3, with the last two numbers being different every time….
“yo, look we want to lock this door so come in now or stay out till morning.” One of the seniors said as she peaked out the door and not completely opening it.
I said no word and entered; it was clear everyone was soon going to be asleep.
Entering inside the Sarah was already cozy, about to sleep and so was the other senior.
Monna was acting asleep but she was awake. Now I needed to wait.
12:53 Am
It was time, everyone was asleep, well at least I think so, the room was dark but not completely, there was this dim light lamp at the left corner plugged in directly.
Now this was perfect, I stood up, reducing the brightness of my phone and creeping to the bunker Monna was sleeping. She slept at the top while the senior that called me slept at the bottom.
“Monna?” I whispered as I struggled to reach her….and like we could all guess, Monna was out cold.. I shouted at the top of my whispers as I poked her leg and all she did turn to the side.
It was clear, I was alone on this…. this was already my plan, so why not do it myself.
I stood in front of my bed and did some breathing exercises and then I moved in…my phone percent (53), It was enough. Now I began to creep, walking with caution, we had no wooden floors in our country so that was a plus for me.
The second text I received from Monna told me her phone was plugged close to her, that was the exact reason she took that spot because it was close to a socket.
After creeping and creeping, I got there, by the side of the beast, she was snoring, like for real, she was actually snoring, it wasn’t loud but it was quite annoying. Now for the next part, her phone.
SWEET. That was the word boldly written at the back of her pouch with glitters. She was a grill girl with a pink pouch but that wasn’t my concern.
I turned on the phone and boom, it felt like a flash bang right in front of my eyes, it was so bright lighting up the whole room.. I let out a silent scream as I scrolled down and immediately turned off the brightness of her phone.
Now the next part was pretty simple, impute the code.
Attempt one : Failure
Attempt two: Failure
Attempt three: Correct.
Boom, I was in, I was through and now it was to look for the app. But then I heard.
“Why are you here.” I heard at my right side as I tried to look for the app.
My heart immediately stopped beating and just froze….I have been caught this was it, should I drop the phone and run, Where do I run to?
What was I going to do, I thought as words swarmed my head, I was shook but then….this person said nothing after….I looked to the side, and then realized, no one was awake, this was just someone sleep talking.
“HHHHhh” I let out a sigh…
2:22 AM.
I was getting tired, I have found nothing, I searched, I read, I looked through and found nothing still, where would someone hide this? I went through every app, I even went into her settings. Her gallery is locked, her socials are locked but everything else was open…I couldn’t find it…it was getting late…I needed to sleep and also people would start getting active soon, the sleep will be less deeper soon, I had to hurry but I had done everything.
Except…..
I remembered, file manager, I didn’t go through it, there were too many files but I didn’t know where to look. Then it came to me, what if this wasn’t an app but a site or something, I wasn’t sure so then I put in one and two… when you download something of the net it goes to downloads then the file downloads is the place to be in….I had a direction so I rushed in and right there, not so far from DCIM (camera folder) I saw the download folder, I opened it and saw a lot of files but which was the one I was looking for, I didn’t want to play anything because it was late, so I edited the sequence, from file name to date so it showed me everything downloaded earlier in time, and there I saw it, 3 files mp3 files and then an image file, carrying forth in the row.
I didn’t hesitate, I would play it somewhere private. I had already planned on how I would transfer it and that was using Bluetooth. I selected the 3 mp3 files and then sent it to my phone hosing Bluetooth.
2:49
I was done…I headed into the bathroom and locked the door and gave it a listen, I wanted to be sure I wasn’t mistaken and then I played the first audio but that was a song, that wasn’t what I was looking for…I then went into the second one and then boom, it was there, all of it, the whole conversation we had.. I didn’t listen to the end, I just highlighted part I felt were necessary and after getting what I wanted, I went in for the next one and that was the edited one, cleanly edited.
A sudden peace came upon me, I found what I was looking for, it felt so good, I felt happy, I didn’t want to play this to everyone but I did have a target in mind and that was the woman who had misunderstood everything and believed them all because they are older and they are my senior, whom I had a plan to speak with was no other than the tour guide.
