 EPISODE FIFTEEN THE STORY 2 BY PRAISE UMORU Things seemed to have turned out well as Tony and his mum finally came to a resolve. They both had a long talk from top to bottom. When Tony got to know his mother’s acquaintance he was both bewildered and happy. Things seemed to make sense to him after his mum’s narration. He was pleased to know a man such as Mr. Henry could make his mum feel alive once again. Although the fact that a man his age could attempt an act of immorality still baffled him, but at least, after his visit later that night, things were sorted out more explicitly. He appreciated Mr. Henry’s humility and respect for him as his mum’s son. He felt love in his love for his mum through Henry’s words, but that didn’t stop Tony from unleashing his rage and irritation for his act when he visited that night. Tony standing up to take charge of the issue at hand and the responsibility for his mum’s happiness, he laid it down to the two, that they just had to make things right, no

 EPISODE THIRTEEN THE STORY 2 BY PRAISE UMORU Two days after Tim’s outburst at the Centre, Tony and Eli had other things to add to their worry list. Within the past two days, Quinn and Tim have been out of sight. With the school on a short break, Eli and Tony found it hard to come in contact with them, especially on calls.   With the way the days went by, the crew seemed to not just be decreasing but also dividing. Jeremy who seemed to be wrongly accused for the death of Frank is still behind bars, with no forth coming trials nor sentence. Alex, still has not been reached nor visited as he is left to face his own nightmare of having divorced parents. Tim, who lashed out on every soul that was present at the Centre, has also separated himself from the Centre affairs and Quinn, who couldn’t seem to bare the words Tim darted at her at the Centre, is hurt and therefore secludes herself from her teammates.  With all the drama emanating from each member of the Centre, Eli and Tony doesn’t se

 EPISODE TWELVE THE STORY 2 BY PRAISE UMORU (Flashback) “How are you doing?” Tim asked Jeremy who came to visit him. “I’m holding up” Jeremy replied downhearted After a brief silence, Tim was forced to speak “Com’on man, what’s going on? Why do you wanna plead guilty? Everyone is freaking worried about you and trying to get you out in every possible way we can and you repay us by pleading guilty?” Tim sounded irritated and angry Jeremy couldn’t find the words to lay out to his friend so he kept mute with his head hung low Timothy bounced on the table with his hands releasing a loud noise that startled Jeremy “dude answer me?!” One of the warden stepped into the cubicle checking if everything was alright after hearing the noise from the table. Tim and the warden exchanged eye contact which forced Tim to keep his cool but Jeremy wasn’t still talking “Jeremy common, what is wrong with you? Have you seen Malia lately? Before she came checking up on you yesterday, she has been worried sick

EPISODE ELEVEN THE STORY 2 BY PRAISE UMORU (Tony and Eli) “OMG… if we keep bumping into each other this way, I might think we are fated for something” Vivian spoke sarcastically with a grin towards Tony giving him an expected hug Eli was astonished both at her sentence and her action. Her facial expression screamed ‘danger’ to the eyes of Vivian Vivian looked at Tony who felt stiff. When she understood the situation she had put herself in, she gave no hesitation in making things right “Oh my goodness, I am so sorry. Is she…” Vivian drew her last phrase hoping Tony could give her a hint which he nodded in affirmation “I am so sorry again” she quickly apologized to Eli again who had now released her stern face but wasn’t still smiling “he is just a friend. I met him with Quinn, who is also my friend, we met at the last theater art event.” Vivian was still acting paranoid as her explanation didn’t seem good enough for Eli’s silence “and… I just hugged him, it doesn’t mean anything, I lite

 EPISODE TEN THE STORY 2 BY PRAISE UMORU After Irene’s visit to the decreased crew, their journey to Sanji stream was fixed for the next day in order to get the quad fully involved and prepared. Tayo was to tag along also. Being that the journey to Sanji’s stream was on an impromptu notice, Tony and Eli couldn’t make the travel regardless of how much they wanted to. Tony had to attend a family thanksgiving in church with his mum and Elizabeth was invited.  To Elizabeth, it wasn’t just the fact that she was invited to the thanksgiving by Tony’s mum that made it so important, but it was the fact that the mother of the man she loved considered her as family already in order to invite her and that made the thanksgiving one she wouldn’t choose to miss. More so, with Tony, Eli, Alex, Malia and Jeremy, out of the scene, Tim and Quinn are left to go on the field Survey with Tayo and Mrs. Irene. (Tony and Eli) After the service was over, the exhaustion was boldly seen on the faces of each membe

EPISODE EIGHT THE STORY 2 BY PRAISE UMORU Back at the Centre, the crew were visited by an unexpected and unrecognized visitor. Although they are not much of a crew with their decreased number. Quinn, Tony, Elizabeth and Tim became the Quad for the day.  After Quinn told the others about what had transpired with Malia and herself on the phone, they decided to let the former be for the meantime. They also tried reaching Alex but to no avail. The Quad then settles on paying him a visit at the end of their surprisingly busy day. As they all prepare themselves to leave the Center to attend to one of their daily schedules, their eyes met an elegant female figure standing in front of them at the door post. Each person gave an unrecognized facial gaze to the lady that stood in front of them. Tony assumed her to be in her late twenties or even her early thirties, but regardless, she had a figure that looked taken care of perfectly. With the shoes Quinn and Eli sighted along with her body access

 EPISODE SEVEN THE STORY 2 BY PRAISE UMORU (Malia) It’s been four days since Jeremy had been lock up and the crew still haven’t had their first lead. Malia has been restless for the past four days and decides to go meet Jeremy. The warden brought Jeremy out and Malia immediately sighted him. Even if Jeremy didn’t seem quite pleased to see her, Malia didn’t mind. Her heart fell seeing the one that gave her one of her best relationships; after two breakups, look so unkempt. Jeremy always had a fast grown hair and in the period of just four days, his hair had become bushy and dreaded. Although his trimmed beards still looked the same, but there was still a need for a bit of touch on it. His hands were still handcuffed when he sat on the stool directly opposite Malia “Hey” it sounded more like a whisper from Malia’s lips. She inhaled slowly hindering her tears from falling “What are you doing here?” Jeremy asked coldly Malia was shocked by his response “I came to see you” she replied with

 EPISODE SIX THE STORY 2 BY PRAISE UMORU Being it an annual event, once again the theater Art students were hosting another show. As usual the school were aware as the news spread like wild fire, and the crew also caught the fire. Malia isn’t in the right state of mind, as Jeremy’s situation still got a hold on her. Being a law student, she thought of several consequences that could be done to a murderer and with Jeremy in his twenties, no one was likely to see him as a child, there was a high tendency, he would be given the ultimate punishment; death sentence, and Malia just couldn’t sit right with it. She knew Jeremy would have to go through trial and if the crew needed to get him out, it had to be before his trial starts. The weighty family had to be convinced also that Jeremy was innocent as soon as possible, but with the confused reply the crew gave her about how to start their investigation on Jeremy’s innocence… she became more discouraged. With Malia and Jeremy being out of the

EPISODE FIVE THE STORY 2 BY PRAISE UMORU “Jeremy would never do such a thing! You guys don’t believe he could do such a thing, do you?!” Malia couldn’t help but panic. No one could calm her down because the whole crew was confused. Each person couldn’t fathom a reason for Jeremy’s arrest neither could they fathom more that he was responsible for Frank’s death The atmosphere gloomed with silence and confusion Efua and Timothy rushed into the Centre “Is it true? Jeremy was arrested?!” Timothy asked confusedly at the crew. No one gave him a response when they saw him. Some of the crew members could identify Efua as Malia’s roommate as Malia ran towards her for a hug but Timothy was only recognized by Quinn Quinn walked up to Timothy with a melancholic look Timothy held Quinn’s hands softly “are you okay? Is it true? Did Jeremy actually do it?” “I don’t know…it’s all so confusing” Quinn responded soberly with her hands still on Timothy’s’ “He didn’t do it!” Malia said with boldness “Jeremy
