The thought flashed through Amy's mind. It went as quickly as it came. She couldn't even consider it. She would be commiting a crime against God and man. She was a fifty four year old woman with a nineteen year old son who was sick. She was old enough to know what was right. Her son being sick was giving her enough fear, she knew the pain of having a dead child. So she couldn't do it to someone else talk more of her madam . But it was hard. She wouldn't forgive herself if her son would die when she knew she could do something. Doing something at the expense of someone else's life. Killing someone else just so her son would live.


"This one you came to visit today, what happened? "Rose asked. It was mid-afternoon and she was just going through the laundry Amy had done when Tonye arrived. "yes oo, I just came to see how you were doing. You know now, your husband, your sick child, the stress and everything. I just came to visit you as a good friend that I am"Tonye said. "good friend indeed, Tonye you're a funny person" Rose said laughing. "Ehe, Rose there is something important I would like to tell you" Tonye said becoming serious. "Yes I'm all ears",Rose said in reply. "Your husband can't just be behaving like that towards you, there's something wrong somewhere, just think"

. Tonye said. "What are you trying to imply?, "What I'm trying to say is that... There may be another woman". "Heiiii",Rose shouted, Tonye I know that you care about me but that is too much, my husband may beat me, but he is faithful. I know he still loves me somewhere. He can't do it".Rose replied. "hmm, I'm just saying. You know men these days, you don't expect anything from them" Tonye said. "Tonyee, he's still my husband please". "Okay oo, I was just trying to help".Tonye said in conclusion." Please which food is in this house let me eat" Tonye said.


"Mummy good afternoon" Ruby said as she entered into the living room. "Yes my child, how was school? ", school was fine, they taught us five letter words and I learnt all of them".Wow, I'm proud of you my child, go in and freshen up then you come and eat your lunch",Mrs Alade said."Okay mummy", Ruby replied. Mrs Alade watched as Ruby strode into her room. She was proud of the little girl. She was just four years old in nursery three.  She had adopted her when she was barely three months old. She knew she was getting old and she wanted a child that would keep her busy after Rose had cut off contact with her. She knew it was not Rose's fault. With her devil of a husband. The man was an angel when Rose had introduced him at first. She didn't know what came over him few months after their wedding. So she adopted Ruby to bring her up as her own child. The girl was not old enough to understand adoption, she thought Mrs Alade was her birth mother. She would soon grow up to understand that I'm too old to give birth to her. Mrs Alade thought and laughed. Right now she just wanted to take care of the child as her own and give her her all. She was the head nurse in the hospital where she worked in so she earned enough to take care of herself and Ruby. She continued to think of her daughter Rose. She wondered how she was doing, if she was okay, if her husband was maltreating her. She cared about her daughter Rose no matter what. Rose was a good person, she knew it. It was her husband that held her down. She loved him so much that she would do anything for him.


"So I called you guys here because I have a special job for you" she said.
