Dedicated to JanetLeon3 Omo this babe used to read my book sha  and I missed her comments so I am dedicating this chapter to her.

~Chloe~

"Breath Zoe, breath, in ... out."

Even I was following that breathing pattern, I needed to do it even more that Zoe. Its a crazy world we live in and if you don't know that by now then you obviously don't belong to planet earth sub planet Lagos, Nigeria. All it took was one call, one phone call that was all it took to get us both shaking and petrified for the love of Nefeesat. She was Zoe's best friend and she still is if the living God decided of spare her life and bring her out of there alive.

" I can't believe this is happening to my best friends, she doesn't deserve this at all not now, not ever, not at all."

Zoe lamented as tears kept flowing freely from her eyes. We were at the nearest hospital closes to Nefessats houses. Her parents traveled leaving there only and eldest son In charge and this was what happened. Nafessat was raped by her own elder brother not once's not twice but 5 times before he fell asleep on her soundly. It was there last born a 12 year old girl, Terrified of the sigh in front of her raised the alarm. She was able to get a hold of Nafessat phone, thank Goodness the phone didn't have a password so it was easy to access and it was Zoe she called first since Zoe was the last person she spoke to.

"Of all time. Oh dear God why did you let this happen. Why?!?"

" Zoe calm down. Please i know you are hurting and I am hurting too. But please calm down."

I said trying to Pacifie Zoe who was balling her eyes out. She was really affected by this news because she spoke to Nafessat earlier that day and all was well, only to be given a distress call 5hours latter about her best friend. Trust me it is more heartbreaking that it appears and i can feel her pain because I know that even though I and Molly aren't on talking terms, I am still ready to move mountains to make sure something like this or worse doesn't happen to her.

This was really getting to much to bear first my twin sister and now her best friend? This rape case were seriously getting out of hand. In that moment i remember Dorothy's heart breaking story, And I was overwhelmed with sadness all over again. Its time to bring the professionals into this story, it's time to involve the NGO's who will fight for justice of this girls. Immediately I made a mental note to contact Tiana Dakoba now Tiana Adebiyi-Williams.

" this is all my fault. I should have know, the first time I went to their house I saw the signs but Fee told me not to worry about it, now look at where it has landed."

"It's okay Zozo it's okay, Fee is a fighter she is going to wake up I know she will."

It was like The angel of the lord had carried what I said out of my mouth to the feet of lord. Either that or the lord him self answer my prayer before I could turn it to one because seconds later. The doctor came out of Nafessats ward and i and Zoe rush to his feet even her little sister came to stand with us.

" She is awake but we need to give her some room to heal. Thank Goodness there wasn't any damage on her and we successfully extracted the ehemm."

He said clearing his throat instead I guess he didn't want to say the word so the little girl Nafessats younger sister Doesn't beginning to question. The little girl looks scared and I am sure there is a permanent scar in her heart for being the first to meet her older sister like that. Naked bloody and her elder Brother lying on top of her, that is a traumatic image one can't easily forget especially for a 12 year old.

"Thank you doctor. Is there and thing we need to pay for or sign at least."

"Well yes although it's her parents that are supposed to Sign the paperwork but, I guess you are the only option we have."

" Thanks"

Zoe took the pen and sigh on behalf of her parents and end up paying 25,000 naira for all the medications and everything. This was really serious and we really need to take it up, just then a short message was displayed on the Television. It was hung on the wall of the reception in which we stood. An image of Tiana Dakoba now Tiana Adebiyi-Williams.
Was display on screen she spoke about an NGO she had been running for three years now.

I copied her number on my phone and stored it. I was really trying my best to save as many people as I can, Jayson, Nafessat, even Dorothy that denyed my help. I was going to help by reporting the issues to the police, Or even the NGO who could be in charge of all this rape cases. After a while of siting at the receptions we were told we could go and see her and Zoe was the first to spring up from her sit. We all went in to go and see her and we were all relief to see that she was in good shape and smiling at us.

" awwww Nafessat Cleo Umaru!! Why did you have to scare us like that, we were worried sick."

Zoe said lamenting and crying as she hugged Nafeesat on her bed. Her little sister was hugging her as well trying her best to fight the tears streaming from her eyes. I just stood at the foot of the bed a sad smile resting on my face.

"Why didn't you tell us. Why didn't you tell me that this is what your brother was doing to you. You could have said something before it got to this stage dear."

"Zoe..."

I said making her keep quiet there was so much I wanted to say after saying Zoe's name but I couldn't. I didn't want to hurt nafeesat's feeling she has gone through a lot already let not remind her by talking about it. Thinking about it now I began to wonder where her good for nothing brother was right now, for his sake I hope he wasn't fucking another sixteen year old girl. The thought of that Just makes my blood boil but that wast important, I needed to focus on nafeesat and how to help her.

" it's going to be okay fee I just know it. How are you feeling? Do you need anything to eat?"

" I could go and make your favorite meal?"

Said her young sister and Nafeesat just smile shaking her head light and I immediately understood. I smiled at her in an encouraging manner but I could see the pain she was feelings in her eyes. I couldn't take the pain so I just whispered to Zoe that I was going to step outside for a bit. I smiled at Zoe reassuringly before stepping out to the reception. Immediately I was there alone I place a call to Tiana Dakoba now Tiana Adebiyi-Williams. She picked on the first ring and I was happy to hear her voice come to life for the other end.

"Hello this is Tiana Adebiyi-Williams speaking who am I speaking with."

" urr... hi.. hello... ehhem... hiii...ehhem this is chloe, chloe Babajide's a student from Wesley Academy."

" yes go on I'm listening Chloe."

"Yes ma. Umm I have a rape Case I would like to report. Three cases actually one of the victims is a guys and two other ladies. They are all students of Wesley Academy."

There was a long pause for a while and I had to Check my phone to be sure The call was still connected. Seconds felt like hours and her silence from the other ends was becoming unbearable. Just when I was about to conclude that she had cut the call on me or something she spoke again.

" Chloe, are you there , can you hear me."

"Yes! I... ehemmm yes I can hear you, I am here"

" are this victim's willing to  pursuer their case to court level?"

" that i can't say I—"

"It's fine I will leave some papers works at my office . If they really want us to pursue there case and they want us to Handel it and bring justice, then come by my office to pick it up tomorrow. I'll text you the address."

"Oh thank... thank you ma thank you so much"

"It's the Least i can do to help since I was once in their shoes. Have a nice day chloe."

And just like that the line went dead. I don't know if I should be relieved or scared. I am sure i heard her correctly and from what heard it means she was also a victim of rape. Either that or she watched someone really dear to her get raped, but my bet is on the latter. My phone made a chipping sound and i Checked it to see it was the address to her office she promised she would send. I went on goggle to look her up just to be sure my speculations were right. Before I could start reading her bio Zoe startled me say.

"Who were you talking to."

"Jeez, Christ, You scare me. Hmmm I was talking to Tiana Dakoba now Tiana Adebiyi-Williams. She agreed to help Nafessat and some of our other classmates having similar cases like Nafessat. The only problem is, they have to been Willing to fight."

"Whoa what!! Where did you get her number? That woman is one of the big shots in the country. Mad oo"

" Zoe. Focus. That's not important. What's important is that she agreed to help Nafeesat, and we have to convince her to fight."

Zoe sighed. She looked at me from the looks on her face it seem to me like she and Nafeesat finally had a moment to talk. she wiped her eyes quickly to stop the tears from falling A sad smile in her face as she said.

" she is definitely willing to fight. We will go for the paperwork tomorrow. Where do we kept Mariam, Nafeesats little sister, she is only 12 we can't leave her here."

" you are right will take her with us. It's not like we have that much of a choice."

Before we could  deliberate and further discuss on what, how and when to present this to mom and dad so they could accommodate Mariam, moms call entered and immediately felt goosebumps. I dragged Zoe along at we step out of the hospital I picked the call and putting it on loud speakers and moms Voice screamed at us .

" where are you oo !! where are you!!! Chia! They have killed him oooo!!!!! Ewwweee they have killed him for me. your father oooo they have killed—"

That was all we could hear because my phone died. From how strained and Distresss she sounded it was obvious something was wrong awfully wrong for that matter. We completely forgetting about Mariam and who is going to look after her as we both flew bike to our estate. We got home by 4pm in the evening to meet the house in total Dezarie, puffs were everywhere on the floor, some of the Groceries we had both earlier in the week were  now scattered on the floor, some in the kitchen and some in the sitting room .

" what wrong What's going on."

Zoe and I asked but we were answering by Mrs Babajide's Deafening scream of agony. Mrs Aleshloye our supposed mother was here as well sobbing quietly and I fought the urge to yell at her.

"Will some one please, tell us what is going on,
why is the house scattered and most importantly why are you all crying."

No one answer me so I just hissed and walk away from there heading to my room and Zoe followed behind me. I and my twin Zoe where still trying to digest and processed all that had happened today.While my phone was on charger and Zoe went to get hers which she left charging at home, a video was  sent to our phones to break the new of our foster and biological father is death. Two great men who both did their best at parenting us from different angels, Mr Aleshloye and Mr Babajide both of them gave up the ghost. One was by assassination the other was by drug overdose.

We wept.

We wept till we fell at sleep hope we would wake up in heaven the next morning.
