The big trouble

A light shows, George Powers was seen with his friend, Fredrickson at Glasgow bars and restaurants, having lunch.

“George, you are too cold. You’ve got to free yourself a bit so that people could see the good side of you”. Fredrickson scolded him.

George smiled and told him that he will adjust.

“Come on, man. Don’t be angry ok. I’ll adjust. I’ll change sooner or later, I promise. “

As George and Fredrickson were about to leave the restaurant, Nasha walked in but George didn’t notice her.

And as soon as she got there, she got set for the business of the day, which was, singing. Then after she finished singing for them, they paid her a good amount of pounds.

Nasha returned to her apartment and she discovered that the hallway to the apartment was filled with litter.

And out of furiousness, she headed straight to her next-door neighbor’s door and started banging at his door.

Then Vincent opened his door and she yelled at him angrily.

“How could you mess up the hallway as if you are the only one staying in this apartment? Look at how untidy the hallway is!”

Vincent, being drunk, uttered a lot of balderdash and later said that he didn’t care about what she was saying

“Why are you disturbing me, bitch? You could go away from here, I don’t give a fuck. And you know what? To hell with you!”

Nasha got very pissed at his words then she shouted at the top of her lungs and which drew the attention of their neighbor who stays on the third floor.

Their third-floor neighbor tried as much as he could to pacify the situation. And on the next day, Nasha reported the incident to Star over the phone.

“Star, you need to know this, I’m fed up with my neighbor, Vincent. I can no longer tolerate his excesses.”.

And immediately she hung up, she received a message from Richardson, trying to know how she was doing.

But she acted very cold to his message as she had always done. Then she laid back in her bed to meditate. Not quite long after she laid down, another unruly noise erupted mightily in the room.

Nasha furiously badged into Vincent’s room to confront him. Vincent unbolted his door after several knocks. And on beholding Nasha, he smiled and then asked her to come in.

Nasha wasn’t finding his acts funny, but she reluctantly entered his room as she prepares to fight him verbally.

However, immediately, after she entered the room, Vincent tried to force himself on her. Nasha out of self-defense, slapped him twice then ran out of the room.

She got into her room, fidgeting, and started sobbing profusely.

Then Annabel and Star who just stopped by, on learning about the ugly incident, tried to get her nerves calmed.

“Nasha, you have to stop crying ok. I’m very glad that Vincent didn’t succeed in raping you. But don’t worry, I’ll report him to the police.”.

And as Annabel was still consoling Nasha, someone walked into the room and it was Vincent. And from the looks on his face, it tells remorse.

But Annabel wasn’t ready to hear anything from him then she sent him out.

“You son of a bitch! Ain’t you got no shame to stand before someone that you tried to rape? Get out of here now before I call the police!”

Vincent hastily ran out like a criminal who was being chased by the cops.

Annabel sang Nasha to sleep, then left for her apartment to prepare something for her.

And immediately she left, Richardson came in to visit Nasha. He concerningly enquired about the incident and also suggested that he could help out with that.

“Nasha love, I’m very sorry that you experienced this. If I should tell you that I’m not disappointed in Vincent, that’s a lie. But I’ll make sure he pays for damages and never in his life would he get to try such again! You know I love you and I’ll do anything to protect you! Even if it has to cost my life! “ Star declared angrily.

Nasha could see the fumes of anger in his eyes. And even if she had made up her mind not to return to him as lovers again, though matter what he does, she needs to stop him before he press charges against Vincent against her will.

It was not as if that Nasha didn’t want justice but she wanted to make peace with herself first before anything else.

Nasha hastily turned to Richardson and begged him not to press charges against Vincent and he accepted though worried about her safety.

Star departed, then Nasha sips a little glass of wine to calm her nerves, and after that, she went back to sleep.

And on the next morning, she was woken by the sound of the sirens of the policemen.

She staggeringly got up from the bed and walked to the window to find out what was happening in her apartment.

But before she could open the window curtain, she heard a knock on her door, then she proceeded to unbolt it.

And when she unbolted the door, she saw a young handsome man in uniform, accompanied by other men in uniform.

Nasha and George stared steadily at each other for a few seconds then George broke the silence, and told her that she was needed in the station for questioning over the death of her neighbor, Vincent.

“My name is George Powers And if I’m correct, you are Nasha Atlas. Please, we need you to follow us to the office for questioning over the death of Vincent.”

Nasha was shocked to hear of such news, she screamed bitterly as if Vincent wasn’t her enemy.

But she felt terrible to learn that he was murdered in his room and his body was found by a cleaner, with Nasha's metal cutter on top of his body.

And now, she becomes the suspect, what will become of her is what she couldn’t tell.
