Sister-in-Campus 6
“J
|
esus of Nazareth!
What are doing in the name of a standard procedure?" It was Madam Gladys
asking. She was just in time to see a glimpse of what had been going on in darkness.
Pastor Mwanga was still shock as His wife let out a loud scream
"Uuuuuuui!" Soon the door was filled with all manner of curios
onlookers.
The man who had
appeared to be a doctor was zipping up his trousers in shame. The patient had a
legs uncovered and wide open while she was asleep. Madam Gladys rushed and
covered her properly while also making her comfortable. It is Inspector Stima
who cleared the door and closed the door behind him. He didn't need a Php in
eves dropping to know that there was a new rape suspect in the name of a
doctor. Just then another doctor entered the ward whose coat had a name tag
'Doctor Shem'.
"Doctor Shem
don't tell me you want to cover up this broad day light witchery!" It was
Inspector ranting on his face.
"Have you people
turned a hospital into a den of beasts that devour sedated unsuspecting
patients while masquarading as doctors?" Pastor was angry till his lips
moved even after he had stopped speaking. He wanted to rebuke the evil spirits
that he felt were challenging him and even say a prayer but weakness took the
better part of him.
"Am sorry Mzee
and Mama?.." The doctor started to apologize.
"Mama
Joyce!" Mrs Mwanga added.
"Yes we are
very sorry about this. Your daughter was in safe hands before this goon here
who i even don't know appeared." The doctor went on with the apology.
"Young man
what is your name? You look familiar" It was Madam Gladys questioning the
fake doctor who had by now turned his face to the wall in shame. He kept quite
as if he didn't understand what was being asked of him. Inspector took out hand
cuffs which he had carefully hid under his coat.
"Mr. Fake
Doctor you are now under arrest and anything you say will be used against you
in a court of law." He handcuffed him unceremoniously as pastor and his
wife marvelled at him.
"You always
walk with your tools of trade!" He was impressed.
"Just like you
with a bible I can't walk without a pair of handcuffs to deal with these
friends of ours." Inspector say as he forced the fake out of the
room."Move you idiot."
Outside the crowds
were arguing whether he had put it in out or not. Some reporters who had been
tipped were also out there trying to piece up a story of the pastor's daughter
that got raped for the second time in a hospital. Inspector could not waste a
such a golden opportunity to address them for a chance to be be featured in the
local news. His bosses would be so proud of him for restoring people's faith in
the police service if not a force.

Daisy and Abby were
having a hard time answering questions at the police station where they had
been taken silently to record statements. Hazy didn't have a hard time at all
recording a statement at the Kisii Police Station. It was not her first time to
do it and she knew how to be on point at it. Daisy was scared stiff and at
times would mix the past events with the present events like beans and maize in
a cooking pot hance enes up being told to start over again with the statement.
Abby on the hand didn't want to say anything even though she was the second
witness at the state in which Joyce was in when she came in to open for Hazy.
The house keeper and security officer were some of the people who had recorded
statements. Upto now the different statements recorded were all divergent.
Inspector Stima was
already back from the hospital with a bag of exhibit together with the new
suspect. He was now busy drafting something in his office as a junior officer
took finger prints of the suspect. By now he had already said his name after a
few slaps from the officer who was taking his finger prints. "So you are
Ochanda?" Stima when he saw the name on his finger print form. The guy
simply nodded something that annoyed Stima. "Are you nodding at me instead
of talking?" A slap almost landed on his cheek had he not replied with a
quick "Yes".
"I believe we
are going to be friends for long time having in mind you once escaped our trap
sometime back" Stima continued. Ochando was already shivering with fear at
the mention of that statement. He didn't expect the escape he had made when a
car had been stolen at Erera area from a woman just as she was about to enter
to the apartment where she resided.
"Officer!
Please keep him inside" Stima ordered the officer behind the O.B desk.
All these time
Madam Gladys, Pastor Mwanga and his wife were in the reception waiting for an
okay from Stima to leave. They had come in with a white land cruiser with a
private number plate that Stima came with to the hospital. Madam Gladys had her
a car outside the station and was going to use it back on her way back to the
university.
Just then Pastor's
phone rang. Daudi's wife was the one calling again since the previous day she
had called again.
"Excuse me
please I have to pick this call" he excused himself.
Pastor: Praise the
Lord my sister.
Daudi's wife: Amen
Pastor.
Pastor: I hope you
are fine in the Lord.
Daudi's wife: How
can I be fine when yesterday I didn't get to say why I was calling you. You
said you would call me later but you didn't.
Pastor: Am sorry I
forgot about it because I got into something that really took my time and
energy. Is it about your husband?
Daudi's wife: Leave
that chameleon alone. He just blended in that day when he saw you. At least
that day he behaved like my husband but it was short lived after you left.
Pastor: Oh my God!
I will surely remember your family in my prayers.
Daudi's wife: thank
you pastor. Meanwhile when do I get to see again?
PASTOR: Again?
Daudi's wife:
doesn't the shepherd leave a flock of 99 to attend to the lost one ...
Pastor: Okay when I
get back home I will plan for That.
Daudi's wife: Thank
you pastor and have a blessed day.
Pastor: Likewise.
He dropped the call
and found Madam Gladys standing near the station gate.
"Please come
into the car we are leaving for the university" She told him as he moved
to closer to where she was. His wife was already sited at the back together
with scared Abby and Daisy. It was the first time for Joyce's mother was
visiting the university.

Godfrey while
loitering around the streets of Kisii University had stumbled upon a lady she
thought was thought knew where Joyce stayed. He was by now between Hostel
Saturn and Jupiter.
"Excuse me
please sister" he motioned her as she passed by him.
"Hey" she
replied.
"Am looking
for Joyce the CU lady, do you happen to know where she stays?" He asked
innocently.
"Yeah I know
her, she hardly has a BF perhaps you are the one!" she joked.
"Just answer
me please it a serious matter" he tried not to sound annoyed.
"That proves
the point boy child!"
Godfrey was getting
annoyed and didn't want to show it. He immediately started walking away in
anger.
"Hey you! I
didn't mean it!" She called him but he was busy hurrying away. He almost
collided a huge guy who was coming his way from the student mess.
"Please Oti
tell him to wait for me" the lady signaled the huge guy.
"Hey, that
chick wants you to wait here" Oti said while blocking Godfrey's way.
"Okay now let
me go" Godfrey was already annoyed. As he was moving away the lady was
just a few paces behind him. Oti went his way into the nearby canteen.
"Hey, can't
you forgive someone at for once. Anyway I can take you there where you want to
be" she said as she approached him.
"Okay you are
forgiven. Can you take me there." Someone was apparently telling the lady
something from the window in the upper floor of Hostel Saturn where the lady
was now headed. Godfrey didn't pay attention to the person.
Hostel Saturn was
darkly light lit and quite a possible reason for these being tripping of the
circuit breakers owing to many heavy users of electricity at the same time.
Perhaps some ladies were heating water, others ironing as other cooked. Godfrey
struggled to see his way through the stairs. As soon as they entered the room
where he thought was Joyce's room the electricity came back and the room
brighten up.
Anger struck poor
Godfrey just like the way lightening had done to Zimbabwe's Mugabe from his
presidency on realizing that the person sited on the chair next to the window
was nine other than Stacia.
"Stacia see
you later" The lady whom by now Godfrey had not bothered to know her name
said as she closed the door behind her. Godfrey made as if to follow suite but
Stacia stood up and signalled not to.
"Please don't
go sweetie. I was just thinking about you when I saw you passing by and texted
my good friend to bring you to me." Stacia said slowly while observing the
reaction of Godfrey. She wore a broad smile all along like she was some smile
queen being interview in some woman talk show on TV. Godfrey was busy shifting
his weight from one leg to another a serious attempt to calm the other guy down
there. Continuos staring at this amazingly beautiful and seductive slim bodied
brown lady was catastrophically affecting his feelings. He tried to fix his
gaze on the floor but felt like her eyes were illuminates on her like full
lights of a new car.
"No I am not
boarding" he finally managed to say.
"Why" she
was moving closer to him. Just one step and he would be opening the door.
"I say
No!"
"Am I not
attractive to you? Why do you want that Mama Kanisa?"
"Am I speaking
in French to you when I say No? I didn't subscribe to this!"
"Not really
but I can see you Johnie has already subscribed to my ..."
Shame and anger
were chewing Godfrey as he felt cornered like a buffalo in a river with a pride
of lioness on both sides. She was close to him and he could smell her scent.
"I will not
lock the door like the way you men do when you want a lady. However If you
leave now I will scream that you just raped like the way they did to her!"
