"Hello, who is on the line please?"

When Lington heard the voice without her saying further, Lington called out

"Natasha??"

"Yes Lington its me"...She said crying

"Driver stop!"...the taxi stopped by holding his break as a result of the way Lington shouted as the driver quickly packed as it seem this call was very important. 

"Natasha?...You are dead but you are calling me....How is that possible? I mean you are a ghost, you would have appeared  to me instead."...Lington said as he was eager to understand whats going on

"Lington!"....Natasha said crying as she tried to speak out

As they were leaving, its was now Lington's car stopped as Lington jumped out of the car 

"Driver make sure you wait for me. Dont go anywhere"

"Na your money go dey talk then"

"I will pay you any amount".....Lington replied the driver as he ran through the gate of the grave yard  running very fast as he pulled off his tight clothes, starting with his tie. As he ran fast with his breath increasing and face focused with mouth that never stopped calling Natasha's name

"Hold on natty,...Natty already here"....he said as he ran fast and pulled off his suit he was wearing throwing it away.

Meanwhile, Natasha was in the grave suffocating already. She was loosing strength as she saw this as her last moment. As tears rolled down her cheek, she still smiled over the fact that she was able to hear lington's voice for the last time. 

  Lington on the other hand was already close to the grave when he saw two men with tools in front leaving. As Lington ran towards them, he dragged the shovel Usman was holding while usman shouted 

"Thief....thief" Usman said as he chased Lington. Meanwhile, Mr Okechuku who almost ran for his life with the way Lington took the shovel from them had to pause for a while to observe whats going on before trying to stop Usman who was already some meters away chasing after lington.

Lington finally got to Natasha's grave as he started digging without wasting time.  

It was here Usman who was still shouting thief paused. As he wondered what has possessed the him. 

"Oga this boy should be mad o"...He said as he turned thinking Mr okechuku ran with him chasing lington.

"Ah wey you oga?"...Usman said as he just realised he was actually chasing Lington alone. He then hid in the dark to observe what Lington was upto. It was here he was hiding watching Lington as he dug out the casket with so much energy that his oga touched Usman from behind.
