Trevor was taking too long to wake up so I decided to make use of the hospital's bathroom. I met a nurse in the hallway and she didn't require any form of explanation to assist me. She had seen the moment Trevor was wheeled in by two soldiers and word had spread around the hospital like a wildfire that we were rescued from insurgents.
"Can I get some fresh clothes please?" I demanded after walking into the nurse at the reception.
I was requesting a ward uniform. The other nurses there looked at me from head to toe and I felt their pitiful eyes all over me.
"Yes, of course." agreed one of them. She stood up and headed to a dressing room. I followed her.

Looks like Ella is backing out of the journey
"You are joking right?" Trevor asked me with his face looking relaxed. He must have concluded that I was joking. "I am going back home." I reiterated firmly and stood up. Standing up at that moment was the action that jolted Trevor back to the reality before him. My mind was made up. "You are leaving?" "Yes. I'm done with this pointless journey." Trevor sat up and brought his legs out of the sheets. His feet were touching the ground and he attempted to stand up. I didn't restrain him even though I felt he was too fragile to get up. He moved closer to me and I turned away. "No one wished for this." He said while placing a hand on my shoulder. A nurse pushed the door open and I quickly stepped away from Trevor. "You requested a phone," she stated. I then caught a glimpse of the phone in her right hand. "Sorry. My
"Come in," Trevor responded after we heard a knock on the door. I had already stepped down from the bed and was sitting on the sofa. The door was pushed open and the soldier whom we were now acquainted with walked into the room. He smiled and Trevor and I reciprocated the smile. "Should I punch it?" he joked while pointing his tightened fists toward Trevor's injured shoulder. "You can as well try." Trevor replied. They both laughed and the soldier sat beside the bed. He was wearing casual outfits and was looking cheerful. "You are a man indeed. You are looking totally fine." "I'm glad I am responding to treatment." "I just came from the doctor's office. I was sent by the office to settle the bills and find out if you need anything." the soldier reported. Trevor and I exchanged glances. "I'm g
We stepped out of the hospital and inhaled the fresh early morning air. We were out of there for good. Trevor heaved a deep sigh and led me into a taxi. "Where did you get money from?" I asked after we stepped into the taxi. "Shouldn't you be asking me how we were able to come by taxi at such an hour instead? Aren't we lucky people?" he replied. "This isn't some remote village. Cars can operate 24/7." I retorted. "Behind the hospital is an A T M machine." began Trevor. "Where to?" demanded the taxi driver while adjusting the mirror. "Take us to the farthest hotel from here." Trevor told him. I pulled his arm and let go of it immediately he groaned. "Sorry. Farthest hotel?" I whispered.  
I opened my eyes and rolled over to the side Trevor laid earlier. He wasn't there. I sprung out of the bed and heard the splashing of water from the bathroom. Trevor was taking a bath. I heaved a deep sigh and sat by the edge of the bed. Trevor walked out of the bathroom with a towel tied across his waist. "You are awake." he hinted and opened the small luggage back. "Good morning." I greeted and stretched my arms. "It's a few minutes to 6 am and seeing that you were having a sound sleep, I decided to get ready before waking you up." Trevor told me after pulling on trousers and a brown tee-shirt from the bag. "I'll freshen up." I said and headed to the bathroom. When I returned, Trevor was already dressed and a food tray was set on the bed "Here." He said and flung the bag at me. I grabbed it and returned to
"Is everyone on board?" came the driver's voice after he horned. He was ready for take-off and the passengers were beginning to settle in the luxury bus. I was seated next to the passenger who was seated next to him. No one spoke. "I guess all passengers are already on board and ready for taking off." he concluded out loud. Then someone from behind moved to where the driver was and soon, they were talking in low tunes. "Let me clear some issue with my friend here. We will hit the road shortly." the driver apologised and turned off the car engine, bringing the already warmed up car to a stand. The impatient passengers began to murmur. I counted the thousand naira notes Trevor had earlier given me to feed and there were ten of them which was enough to feed me for a week. Then thousand naira. I smiled inwardly and thanked the stars for con
The luxury bus Trevor and I boarded to Greenland left the park past 8 am. Trevor had stated that the journey was to last for six hours so, by 3 pm, I was hoping we would be in Greenland. I slowly opened my eyes and sat up. Trevor woke up earlier than I. He smiled as I rubbed my drowsy eyes with the edge of my palms. "Why is the bus not moving?" I asked after stretching my arms. "Hope everything is okay." I sharply added. Trevor chuckled. He knew my concern over the bus not moving was justified. "Everything is fine." he replied. "You guys have ten minutes please, so hurry and return else I'll leave. I don't mind leaving some of you behind." the driver maintained with a scream. All of these luxury bus drivers possess the same attitude I thought.  
The driver drove into the park after reducing the car's speed. He carefully climbed the interlocks leading into the spot luxury busses were parked and safely parked the vehicle. "Finally!" I exclaimed and smiled brightly. The supposed 2-day journey which lasted for a week finally came to an end that afternoon. The passengers began to make their way out of the bus. Some who stayed behind were trying to pull out their items of luggage from the compartment where luggage was kept inside the bus. Trevor and I had no luggage so we stepped down hand in hand. I was holding the small luggage bag in my arms. We stepped out of the bus and when our feet touched the ground, I felt the cold breeze. "This is 3 pm and it's cold here," I commented. Back in Numan, I was certain the unruly sun was still at work. "This is Greenland. Everything here seems to be different." Tre
Trevor and I stepped into PLOT 22. My left hand was locked up in Trevor's so I could feel how it was trembling. "Relax!" I whispered into his left ear. He heaved a deep sigh and knocked on the large brown gate. "Who is that?" came a husky voice just when Trevor was about to knock on the gate the second time. A huge man with a scary face lifted a square little opening via the gate from the inside and placed his eyes via the opening. He gave us the look that says 'I don't know you . The man opened the gate and was soon standing before us. "Who are you looking for?" he asked in what seemed like a rude voice. I gaze up at his intimidating figure. He was physically built and could pass for a 40-year-old man. He was black. "I.....we...Is Mr King?" Trevor stammered. Not a good start for someone who wan
