Uche's POV
My name ie Uche Ezeh, I'm a single daughter to a famius doctor(my dad) and an even mor famous hairstylist (my mom).
I'm 16, in college and I've received a scholarship to complete my studiies abroad. Theres just no way to describe the amplitude of my joy and how proud my parents are.Everything is for the best. My depart from my home vountry, my arrival at my new temporary home and unpacking my belongings.
It all went south on a Monday morning. School resumes that today and i was so excited. I got ready and befor leaving my dorm, i made a video call to my parents.
" There's my baby!" Says my dad, upon picking the call.
" Hey dad" was my giddy response." Im just so excited... I think I'm having a joy flair." I add, bouncing on my feet.
" Ha ha... Cool down bombshell, or you'll knok something down" said my mom. " Have a good day and make tomes of friends, ok baby?" She added.
" Yes ma'am!" I replied with a rediculous salute , and ended the call. A few seconds later, it happened...an explosion.
I was more affected by a pounding headache due to the deafening sound made by the explosion. Soon, i was being huddled and taken away to heaven knows where for whatever reason. I might have fainted at some point, cause when next I opened my eyes, I was lying on a hospital bed in an immaculately white room and a feww people talking in hushed voices in a corner.
" A stupid mistake at this stage of our reserches... How incompetent are you that you cant even capture the right person after so many years of searching the fucken globe?" Yelled a burley man in a three-piece suit and polished shoes. He adressed a couple in black fighting gear, who had their heads lowered abd hands folded at the back of their backs.
" Apologies, sir. The research team is on reversed analysis to redurect our focus. This won't happen again" replied the woman, on a professional note.
" It beter not, or else...."
" She is awake" interrupted a man in white blouse on the side of the chatting group
Four pairs of etes locked in me at once
" Where am I?.... And who are you all?" I asked a little over a whisper, too tired to teallalk louder
