Story: The President

How can Marcus be alive when he was shot dead right in front of me, she must be hallucinating or something because for Marcus to be alive is impossible to me. And i hope that i don’t start hallucinating about Dorothy too.

*********

Me: Where are you now?

Mirabel: In a saloon, just made my hair

Me: How did you see him?

Mirabel: The frontage of saloon is glass, so i just shifted my head to look around then i sighted him standing outside the saloon, i turned to focus on the direction that i saw him but didn’t see him anymore

Me: Baby it can’t possibly be him, don’t worry about what you think you saw, Marcus is already dead.

Mirabel: I’m scared, or maybe his ghost is hunting me

Me: **Laughs** Why would that happen when you weren’t the one that killed him.

Mirabel: It’s not funny

Me: Sorry, but you sounded funny, you’re done with your hair right?

Mirabel: Yea

Me: Ok, come over here

Mirabel: Okay…

She came to the house, we talked about what she saw, I tried to convince her that Marcus is already dead and gone with his trouble. She seemed to be very sure of what she saw, but I was able to calm her down.

I kept on thinking about the possibility of Marcus being alive but i found no possible way, how on earth would he have survived three shots in the chest? No way!

Days past and our lives kept moving peacefully, Mirabel stopped talking about what she saw and we forgot about it.

Everyone that follow news will know that Mirabel the president’s daughter got engaged to a guy (Me). Mirabel posted pictures and short videos of the night i proposed to her on her instagram page and twitter handle. The media took it immediately, most of the news websites, blogs, youtube, twitter, facebook etc. I also did the same by uploading photos of us on my page. The recorded video of the night i proposed to Mirabel got edited, so all angles of the recorded videos were made into a single mp4 video. I uploaded it on my website and youtube and it went viral with so many views and downloads. I started having more and more followers everyday on instagram and twitter with the majority of females. Because of these as the world fully know Mirabel as the President’s daughter and me as her fians, the first lady had to provide security of three mobile policemen each for me and Mirabel as our personal security and another two each for our house security with Frank and Jummy who were already Mirabel’s secret agents bodyguards. No doubt that i’m now a big deal in Nigeria, millions will be demanded for ransome if i should get kidnapped. *winkz* I also started hitting the gym to get myself some six packs and a good looking body.

One day, after rounding up a paper which leaves us with six more papers to go before we finish our exams, Mirabel touched me that she saw Marcus standing somewhere not too far away from us there in school where we gathered after writing a paper. She pointed the direction where she saw him and i didn’t see anybody. She swore that she saw him, and he was putting on a hood with a gray jacket. She was so terrified that I had to take her to my house. She slept off minutes later then I called her mother – the first lady and told her what’s going on with Mirabel. She asked me some questions on Marcus’ death of which i answered sincerely. She concluded that she’ll talk to the head of the millitary that raided the bush that day and rescued us to make enquiries. She called me back about 48 minutes later with a feedback. She said that she spoke with the captain that led the team to our rescue that day asking him about Marcus, but he said many dead bodies were recovered that day and they didn’t get to know the details of four of the bodies so they buried them like that. And all the ones that they found their details, none of them was named Marcus. The Captain concluded that there is a 100% possible chance that Marcus was among those that they couldn’t get their details. I ended the call with the first lady after a little more discussion.

Then i started thinking…

☆ How could they not find the details of Marcus who was the son of a well known billionaire?

☆Or is it because his father disowned him?

☆ How can that change the fact that Marcus was his father’s son?

☆ Or he wasn’t among those that their bodies were discovered by the millitary?

☆ What’s going on here?

Ok lemme look at this way, Dorothy shot Marcus three times in the chest and immediately commanded us to go inside the building, so we left Marcus outside. I can’t remember seeing blood on Marcus when he got shot and Lola bleeded immediately she got shot and me too.

Maybe Marcus was wearing a bullet proof vest when he got shot and escaped immediately we went inside the building. It makes more sense now but i hope i’m wrong. This can’t be happening, Mirabel was so sure of who she saw… No more doubts! Marcus is definitely alive!!

I immediately called Vincent and Frank and told them everything, they were shocked to hear the strange news. We made it known to the President and the first lady and we discussed seriously about it. We discussed that we won’t announce it to the public that there’s a manhunt for Marcus, so that he won’t get prepared and go into hiding. They concluded that hundreds of C.I.D’s , Armies and other officers will go underground in the school and other places that Mirabel might go to. They won’t be very close to her, they’ll just be around anywhere Mirabel is and be watching incase Marcus shows up to her then they’ll immediately come and get him. So we warned Mirabel not to be looking around suspisiously, let her always be relaxed. A small communication earphone was given to her to be in her ear at all times, as it is connected to all the underground agents and me as well for information and communication purpose. The plan took effect immediately, as they briefed the selected agents and they got to work.

We’re very much ready for Marcus, let him come!

Because of the ongoing plan that we have for capturing Marcus, we started making more public apprearances. From the movies to the beach, to ice cream shops and also shoppings. It became fun for us because we don’t do such before. We decided to continue doing it even after we catch Marcus. The more we go out in the public, the more i get famous as paparazzis always took pictures of us and get it to the media making headlines on news blogs and websites.
