Then, Oliver, who also heard the driver honk, got off the gatehouse and opened the gate. To his dismay, he saw the next set of security guards on duty, Boniface and Thomas, walking away briskly. Meanwhile, two police vans were behind Barry's car. The driver drove in and Oliver locked the gate, leaving the two police vehicles outside.“Welcome Sir,” he greeted. “Thank you, Oliver,” Barry responded.

Barry led him to Evans' apartment for an introduction. Nevertheless, the District Police Officer, DPO, was over the moon when he got an instruction from the IGP to deploy his men to Evans' house. He saw the task as a ticket to his promotion, and he must do it well.“It is nice to have you, DPO.” Evans and his co-in-laws greeted one after the other.“Thank you Sirs.

At the GateAfter Barry lectured Oliver on how to relate with the police men, he left for his room while Oliver admired his new bike. Suddenly, he heard a knock at the gate and ran out of the gatehouse.“May I know you, please?” He requested.“It's me. Kindly open the gate.”'Oh! Frank.' he exclaimed. He opened the gate and he walked in.“Good morning, Frank,” he greeted cheerfully.“Good morning, Oliver. Are you still here? Where are the people on duty?”“Yes. I'm still here.” He responded and gave him a detailed report on what took place at night.“Is that why the police men are here?”“Yes. Mr. Barry brought them a few minutes ago.”“That is good.

They have ruined other people's chances,” Frank concluded and walked to the main house.At Uncle Emma's HutUncle Emma, Dickson, and Callum listened attentively to their compla

“Who owns it?” Austin inquired.“It belongs to Oliver,” Barry declared. Then, Oliver walked out of his room and saw the youngsters admiring his bike.“Your bike is fine, Oliver,” they commended.“Thank you for the compliment, David and Austin.” Thereafter, Austin and David left for their cousins' apartment.“I need to get some toiletries from the local market, Mr. Barry,” Oliver requested. Barry, who understood the meaning of the sudden outing, teased, “And to ostentatiously display your new bike.”The drivers around laughed heartily, and Oliver looked down shyly.

Be cautious.”“I will.”At the Village Square.The four youths walked happily on the road while Peter nursed his lost.

My teacher had told us the story of King David. Despite his heroic feats, he ran away when the need arose. I took the bold step and fled from home at the age of ten, and no one cared. I lived on the street and lived by its principles; if you can't beat them, you join them. I could not help but join them, beginning from petty stealing to pickpocket. Furthermore, I was tutored by my fellows on how to survive in the jungle. One thing I learned from them was the bonding, we protect one another. I was happy in their midst because I was protected from the likes of my fathers. Occasionally, we offer ourselves for menial jobs and were paid. As time went by, my close allies and I resolved to do menial jobs and quit stealing. The teachings from the church came to bear on us.“We can go back to school,” Fidel, one of us, suggested one day. We welcomed his idea and enrolled in the nearby public school. Then, I was twelve and had never been abused, and my self-esteem was building up gradually. F

I was informed that my father passed on some months back after a prolonged ill health.My mother's co wives, both those he married after I left home, were disgruntled when I introduced Fidel as my husband to be. It was obvious that out of the sixteen daughters in the family, I would be the first to marry properly. They scowled at him maliciously, before the first wife looked at me and snarled, “Where is it done that a father had not been buried, and a daughter is getting married?”Her statement left Fidel and I more confused. Meanwhile, their eyes h
