Enjoy!

The two ladies were just sitting opposite each other in silence, Anya head was tilted to the left her red crochet locs falling to the side. Ayesha on the other hand was massaging her temple and her hair was styled in a short box braid.

"What can i get you ma?" A young female waiter, asked but they both waved her off.

"I can't think of anything " Ayesha broke the silence looking frustrated.
"I dunno who did that but i know one thing for sure they are working with the devil," Anya spoke up.
"Tell me about it, taking pictures of a dead person and doing a video with that stupid song "ha ha ha you're dead" that's only something a devilish person can come up with." Ayesha agreed.

"But i thought they took down all the pictures?" Anya asked no one in particular and Ayesha exhaled deeply.
When you first saw it who did you think did it?" Anya asked
"At first i thought it was Asad sisters and cousins, and trust me i was ready to kill them but then you called ...." She trailed off when Anya's phone rang.

"It's Betty," Anya announced and picked the call.
"Hey___"
"Babe you will not believe what message i got this morning," Betty cut Anya and started.
"Let me guess you got a photo video of Zahrah?" Ayesha asked.

"Yes and i know you did that Ayesha am coming for you,"Betty continued and the look on Ayesha's face was priceless.
"Excuse me!"Ayesha exclaimed, Anya stiffled a laugh and recieved a glare from Ayesha.
"Have you no respect for the dead?" Betty yelled through the phone.

"Abeg (please) switch to video call let me see this girl face," Betty said to Anya who didn't hesitate to switch to video call.
"Why would you think i did that?" Questioned Ayesha looking at Betty.
"Because you can and did," Betty replied
"No i didn't," Ayesha defended crossing her arms sounding irked.
"You blamed me for this during that time at any chance you got and i strongly believe you did this." Betty stated in a flat tone. Sensing that things were getting out of hand, Anya decided to intervene.

"Betty she didn't do it,"
"Be defending her like you always do," Betty hissed and Ayesha scoffed still in disbelieve.

"Look we all got the photo video and our network siezed too."Anya cleared and Betty narrowed her eyes looking skeptical but Anya nodded assuring her.

"Well i guess you didn't do it,"Betty mumbled not maintaining eye contact.
"Is that suppose to be an apology?" Ayesha queried and Betty just rolled her eyes.
"Where are you guys I'll meet you?" Betty asked and Anya read out the address to her.

"Oh now everyone is going to ignore the fact that my childhood friend just accused me of something equal to murder."Ayesha raised her voice attracting a few customers on the other tables.

"You first did that 10 years ago." Betty deadpaned. Now almost all the customers had their eyes on them. Anya turn giving them a nervous smile before turning to her friends who were just staring at each other.
"Am close by already ," Betty announced cutting the call, the table was silent and Ayesha fanned her face as a way of calming herself down.

"Is everything okay mamn?" A rough voice asked.
"Get me a coke and mind your business," Ayesha snapped.
"Cold one," She added turning to him but a frown made it's way to her face.

"You're not a waiter," Anya said noticing his outfit, he was dressed in all black with a nose mask. Without another word he dropped an android phone on their table.
"You will recieve a call soon. " He said and and majestically walked away from them.
"Wha....."Anya trailed off and confused they watched as the man got out of the restaurant at the same time Betty came in and walked in sitting down beside Anya opposite Ayesha waving a waiter over.

"What can i get you ma," The same woman from earlier asked.
"Three cold soft drinks please," Betty ordered with a small smile and the waiter left.
"Why are you guys looking like that?" Betty asked looking at them both.
"Someone in black just dropped this,"Anya spoke up gesturing to the android phone.
"So you guys think it might be connected to the photo video?" Betty asked.

"Your orders are here." The drinks were served and the waiter left.
"We can't pick the call here," Anya began taking her drink.
"I think that going elsewhere is a bad idea ." Ayesha said but got ignored.
"You guys should better talk your shit out am i'm going to pay." Anya stood picking her bag and left the table.

Without uttering a word Betty picked the android analysing it, while Ayesha turned looking out of the window, both of them ignoring each other.
"You guys better___" Anya came back and started talking but a loud car alarm went off outside catching their and some other people attention.

"That's my car," Anya sighed as she glanced through the window taking out her car key she stopped the alarm.
"let's go to my car wait for the call." She said to them and moved toward the door Betty followed without hesitation but Ayesha reluctantly stood and followed them.

...............

"Okay let's do this," Betty said, they were all seated at the back of Anya's Toyota Rav4 with Betty in the middle of them holding the phone.
"How am i so cool with this?"Anya mumbled to her self looking out of the window.
"Internally am panicing am just trying to be a big girl,"Ayesha began nervously.
"What if _"
"Don't start please, "Betty cut her but she continued anyway.
"What if it's a bomb?" She asked and Betty hisssed.

"This person should call abeg (please)," She spoke sounding agitated, immediately the phone rang and they just stared at it on Betty's hand. They were all anxious and different thought ran through their mind.

"It's a video call,"Ayesha said.
"We can all see that," Anya said back and Betty picked the call.
"For a second there i thought you weren't going to pick." The owner of the voice was wearing a white mask and hood, just like the movies where the killer wears disguise. The voice sounded like it went through a voice enhancer so it was gruff and hard to tell the gender of the person. And the fact that it was also just from the shoulder upward they could see also added to it.

"Are you sick or something why would you do this what kind of person are you ," Ayesha snapped.
"Oh she's mad," The masked person laughed mockingly.
"Why did you send those?"questioned Betty calmly.
"Well I've been watching you guys and i just thought you're life was too perfect. Especially when you guys managed to be the opposite of what you were in high school it was fucking annoying." He cursed.

"You stalked us we should call the police," Enraged Anya who hadn't spoken since spoke picking her phone but Betty stopped her.

"What is this all about?" She asked calmly. "Let's take a look at this"the masked man brought a laptop turning it to their direction.
"I'm going to play a video about all of you and I'll tell you what i want." He announced.

"What makes you think that we will sit to watch it?" Ayesha asked.
"The fact that you're still here my dear." He answered in a dead voice

"Who are you," Betty asked calmly and he chuckled darkly.
"From what i have planned for you i'd say i'm you're worst nightmare." Even if they couldn't see his face it seemed like he had a smug look on his face.
"I can't do this am out."Anya said breathing heavily.

"Oh dear right from the incident ten years ago you all have been in." He said and ignoring him she picked her bag and turn to open the door but it didn't open. She tried again but couldn't open it and she knew she didn't lock it.
He started laughing evily it sound
horrible and sent cold shivers down their spines.
Anya was shaken up, Betty had a tense look on and Ayesha was obviously taking deep breath to calm down. They all reach for each others hand as if a connection would make them fill a bit better.
