Moving To Italy, Episode 11

Time was short. The night was dark and cold. The forest was dangerous. The ladies were scared. They can't move forward, and they can't go backwards. They were stuck in the middle of nowhere, not knowing what would come next and not knowing what to do next. It was a difficult moment for all of them. If they were going to make it out of the forest alive, they would need a miracle. Something needs to happen real quickly if they are going to live to tell the story of their journey to the Benin Republic. Every one of the ladies was scared and frustrated. They had never been in this kind of danger before, and it felt like they were never going to make it.

"Look, ladies, we have been through a lot in the past 48 hours and we were able to come this far due to our determination to make it out alive. If we were not determined, we wouldn't be alive by now. We are strong; that's why we are here tonight. If we were not brave, we would have remained in Madam Philo's hotel to sell our bodies. But we are women of dignity and that's why we are running away. I know we made the why we are running away. I know we made the mistake of following Madam Philo without asking proper questions. We were thinking she was taking us to Italy, not knowing she had other intentions. But we are now in serious trouble, and we have to find a way out. There must be something we can do to get out of this place before Madam Philo finds us. I need suggestions. What are we going to do?" Uju asked. She had become the leader of the group, and they were all looking up to her.

"I suggest we leave the bus and run. I know we might be slow if we run with our legs, but we really have no option right now. We can't go back to town to buy fuel, and we can't stay on the bus because Madam Philo will come here to meet us. We have to be moving, no matter how slowly. Let it be that we are moving forward and not stuck at home spot." One of the ladies suggested.

"If we run with our legs, we will not go far before Madam Philo will come and catch us. Remember, by now, she will be aware that we have run. She will be coming with another vehicle to chase us. Leaving the bus and running with our legs is not an option. She will catch us as soon as possible. I suggest we leave the bus, but let us go into the bush and hide. Early in the morning, we can find a means to go back to the town to buy fuel or find another vehicle." Another lady said.

"This bush is too thick and dangerous for us to hide in. There may be snakes and other dangerous animals here. If any of us gets bitten by a snake, we will not be able to get treatment, and the person might die. I suggest we hide in the car. I don't think Madam Philo will know that we have escaped. She might still be sleeping. I suggest we all go back into the car and get some sleep. In the morning, we will find a way out. We have already travelled more than 40 kilometres away from the main town. Even if Madam Philo is pursuing us, it will be hard before she gets here. Let us relax and sleep." Another lady said from behind, but many people, including Uju, disagreed with her.

"I disagree with your idea. Sleeping will put us all in more danger. Madam Philo must have found out by now that we are no longer in the hotel. In fact, I suspect they are already coming after us. There are two reasons she will not want us to get to Nigeria. One is that she knows we will expose her. The other is that she does not want to lose us. She might even kill us if she catches us. We have to do something fast to get out of this place before she arrives. That woman is heartless, and there is nothing she cannot do. She has been in this business for a long time, and she knows every bush path in this area. She is making a lot of money from the business, and she will not spare us if we try to expose her. That's why we must escape. There must be another way for us to leave this place with the bus." Uju said. She was scratching her hair and trying to find a solution to the big problem at hand. Just then, an idea occurred to her.

"Wait a minute! This bus always runs through this bush path, right? Then that means it must always have extra jerrycans of fuel in the boot or somewhere in the vehicle. Madam Philo is not foolish to have a bus without an extra gallon of fuel in it. Even that day we were coming, the driver had stopped in the middle of the bush to top up the fuel. I believe there must be fuel somewhere on the bus. Let us go into the bus and search. Everyone, please enter the bus and search everywhere. Look for a jerrycan of fuel." Uju said. All the ladies heard her and did as she instructed. Soon, one of them found three jerrycans of fuel in the boot of the bus.

"There is a lot of fuel here. I have seen three "There is a lot of fuel here. I have seen three jerrycans. We are lucky, ladies. Uju, you are a genius! Your idea was perfect." The lady shouted in excitement.

Uju quickly took one of the jerrycans and opened the car tank to fill it. She wanted to pour it, but it was pouring away because there was no funnel. One of the ladies plucked the leaves of a tree and folded it like a funnel. They used it to pour the fuel. Only one of the jerrycans filled the tank of the bus. The ladies were so happy to have found the fuel. The time was already 5am.

Meanwhile, Madam Philo was already close to the place and she almost caught them.

"Everyone jump in fast. Jump in as fast as you can! Let's go! We need to go!" Uju shouted as she saw the headlight of Madam Philo's other bus approaching where they were parked. All the ladies jumped onto the bus. Some jumped through the window. Uju started the bus and engaged the gear, and they sped off at the speed of light.

"Is everyone in? Are we all on the bus?" Uju asked as she was speeding and trying to get away.

"Yes! We are all in." Tina responded after counting all the ladies.

"Pursue after them. Chase them down! They cannot be allowed to get out of this bush alive." Madam Philo tells her bus driver. The driver increased the speed of the bus, and the race in the forest started.

"You won't catch me!" Uju said as she increased the bus speed by 100%. It was a hot race. The driver tries to overtake Uju, but she refused to allow him.
