Moments later.

They were all Gazing at the sky as his plane disappeared into the clouds. Later that night, Priscilla and her husband were having a discussion.

Chinedu lands at the airport.

"Ah, what a beautiful place. Just like how I see it on news".

He locates a train station. While in the train.

"Sir would you like snacks, soft drinks or you will prefer champagne". A tender voice owned by a female, sounded next to him.

"Snacks would be fine". He said turning his gaze to see a pretty female attendant.

"I'll be right back". She turns to take her leave as he connects his ear piece to his phone.

"Now that's more like it".

Meanwhile.

As patience got home, and refreshened up to sleep. Three hours later at exactly 2:AM. She heard a very loud noise from her porch. Curious to know. She went to the door Mesmerized to see no one. Now afraid she hurriedly ran up stairs then noticing a black bag, she reached for it and opened it up. She saw cylindric substance, with some what of compressed blueish gas. She wondered.

"What could this be. I will check this out tomorrow and probably tell Sofia about it".
