Final Chapter

Turning to the people, she said, "This court is satisfied with the evidence presented. The case is hereby adjourned for final argument and sentencing. The prosecution may continue to prepare any additional material. Witnesses Chuka Amadi and Eunice Felix are to remain under state protection. Court is adjourned."

The final day in court arrived like a heavy storm. The prosecution had closed their case. The defense had nothing left. The evidence was undeniable. Chuka sat beside Eunice, his hands calmer now. He had been undergoing short sessions of trauma counseling at the shelter.

The judge took her seat, cleared her throat, and began to speak. "This has not been an easy case, not legally, and certainly not emotionally. It is forced this court to look at something our society often chooses to ignore. That the boy child too can be a victim. That abuse does not always wear a monster's face. Sometimes it hides behind titles like billionaire, mentor, and father figure. Chuka Amadi, you stood before this court and shared your pain. And in doing so, you gave voice to thousands who are still too afraid to speak. Eunice, you risked everything. You could have looked away, but you chose to act. And because of you, this evil was exposed. And to Chief Bernard Oiora, power may shield a man from the eyes of society, but in this courtroom, it does not shield him from the truth. You were given trust. You repaid it with trauma. You were given children to protect. You turned them into prisoners. For this, the court does not only find you guilty, but finds you unworthy of freedom."

The room held its breath. Then came the gavel.

"Chief Bernard Oiora is hereby sentenced to 15 years imprisonment with no possibility of parole."

Gasps, whispers, tears. But the judge wasn't finished. She looked again at Chuka.

"This court also orders that the defendant pay the sum of 20 million naira as compensation to the victim, Mr. Chuka Amadi, for emotional trauma, exploitation, and loss of innocence. Chuka shall also be enrolled in a full rehabilitation and therapy program after which he is to be reunited with his family and given educational support."

She turned to Eunice. "Miss Eunice, your bravery has restored my faith in humanity. This court will recommend you for the National Human Rights Courage Medal. You are proof that one voice, when used well, can echo louder than a thousand silences."

The court session came to an end. Chuka was quiet as he walked out of the courthouse, surrounded by officers and activists. He saw his parents waiting. They had been contacted and they had traveled to Lagos to see things for themselves. They rushed to embrace him. This time not as a child who left home, but as a warrior who returned victorious.

Eunice stood in the sunlight, blinking back tears. Journalists swarmed. Microphones flew, but she didn't say much. Only one line. "I just did what needed to be done."

That night, her picture trended on every platform in Nigeria.

And far away, in a prison cell where the walls echoed with shame, Chief Bernard sat alone. No guards calling him sir, no followers bowing, no children to control, just silence and the ghosts of what he had done.

If you've read this story till the very end, I want you to take a moment, a moment to think about the children. The ones who are suff£ring in silence. The ones who smile in public but cry themselves to sleep. The ones who are told to be strong but never given the space to be vulnerable. This story isn't just about Chuka. It's about every boy who was never believed. Every child who was betrayed by someone they trusted. Let this story be a reminder that the boy child too deserves our watchful eyes, our attention, our love. Please learn from Chuka's parents mistakes and be careful. God bless.

Chapter 6

As soon as the call ended, the assistant commissioner scribbled a note and called in the investigating officer. "Drop the charge for now," he ordered. "Let's say we're still reviewing evidence. Tell the complainant to return next week."

But Tonia's father, Barrister Olu Femi, was two steps ahead. He received wind of the stalling tactics before sundown, and he came prepared. The next morning, he invited a few media personnels to the police headquarter entrance where he addressed them briefly. Then he presented a court-sanctioned motion for immediate arraignment of Chief Bernard based on child rights violation.

Within 2 hours, under heavy pressure and public heat, Chief Bernard was charged and transferred to the magistrate court in Yaba for first hearing. He didn't flinch as he was ushered in wearing a clean white kaftan and dark shades because he had already hired one of Lagos's most expensive defense lawyers, Barrister Douglas E, a man known for flipping courtrooms on their heads.

On the day of the first hearing, the Yaba Magistrate Court was packed with journalists, human rights activists, and concerned citizens. Seated behind Barrister Johnson Olu Femi were Eunice and Chuka, both under heavy protection, their faces tired but determined.

Chuka was called to give his account. He stepped out looking scared as he remembered what happened the last time he tried to speak. He looked at Eunice who gave him a go-ahead nod. She had told him earlier that the ch@rm would no longer be effective since his secret was out. Chuka swallowed hard, looked down, and began to speak, and he was fine.

"At first, Chief Bernard was like a father. He took me from the village. He gave me clothes, a room, food. I thought… I thought my life would change. But then he started coming to my room at night."

Chuka went on with his story. He broke down in tears in between. By the time he was through, the entire courtroom sat in stunned silence, some of them in tears. Even the defense attorney lowered his eyes.

The judge cleared her throat gently. "Thank you, Chuka. You've been very brave."

Chuka returned to his seat, and Eunice was called up next. She told the story how she observed Chief's night visits, how she recorded the video, how she planned Chuka's escape and delivered the evidence.

Barrister Olu Femi walked beside her. "Why did you do it, Eunice?" He asked gently.

She turned to face the judge. "Because silence protects monsters, and I couldn't just keep silent and watch him ruin Chuka."

In defense, Barrister Douglas spoke up. "My lord, what we have here is not a case of justice, but a vendetta. A former housekeeper and a runaway boy suddenly reappear to lay false accusation to ruin the name of a man who has fed thousands. I ask that the court carefully examine the motives here. Chief Bernard has given more to this country than these two witnesses combined. We must not crucify him in the court of public opinion."

Chief Bernard gave a small smile. The judge adjourned the case. Chief was denied bail and Barrister Olu Femi was ordered to present the full evidence including the video file. During the next hearing, Chuka and Eunice were placed under protective custody with security until the case is concluded.

At the next sitting, Chuka's medical result was presented to the judge. Part of the video recording was played. The full video wasn't played because of the sensitive content, but the short clip showed Chief Bernard inside Chuka's room bare-chested, Chuka crying, and Chief threatening him. The courtroom fell silent. The kind of silence that feels like thunder. People gasped. Some wept. Others looked away. Even Chief Bernard himself, seated in the dock, blinked hard and clenched his fists. His jaw twitched, and for the first time in weeks, he looked human.

When the video ended, the judge turned to him. "Chief Bernard Oiora, do you have anything to say?"

A long pause. Chief raised a hand. "Yes, I have something to say."

The judge nodded. "Go on."

Chief stood slowly. He cleared his throat, removed his glasses, and began his voice surprisingly soft. "I know what I did. And nothing I say today will erase that pain. But maybe, just maybe, understanding why will help someone stop the cycle. It all began when I was 8 years old. My parents were very wealthy, respected, and too busy building businesses to raise a son. My mother traveled to Dubai almost every week, and my father had countless business meetings to attend. I was left in the care of a 25-year-old male housekeeper named Depot. At first, he was kind. He made me laugh, bought me sweets. But soon, the games started. He would touch me, tell me I was special, that it was our little secret. He was the one that introduced me to the act. And because I was alone and desperate for affection, I believed he was loving and caring for me genuinely. It continued for years and my parents never found out. By the time I turned 14, I had learned to enjoy it. I began to crave the confusion, the closeness, the control. I never got therapy. I never told anyone. I grew up believing this was how love worked through silence, secrecy, and shame. I did it with some boys while I was in boarding school and I was caught. It was reported to my parents and they simply just scolded me. They didn't know how far I had gone. After secondary school, I met and dated men with same s£xuality like me. I became very successful and my parents began to pressure me to get married. At age 35, I got married to a woman who loved me, but I couldn't love her properly. I never enjoyed making out with my wife. I always found a way to do it with a man like me. One night, 5 years into my marriage, my wife caught me with one of the boys we were sponsoring at the time. That was the end. I tried my best to convince her that it was a mistake, but she left, took our only son, and traveled to the United States. From there, I just gave in. If I couldn't fix myself, I thought maybe I could at least control others. I have done the same thing to many other boys who have at one time or the other lived with me. And I justified it by saying I was giving them food, education, shelter. They didn't speak out because I threatened them. I used charms a lot. Then I traveled to my hometown and Chuka's parents begged me to go with him. Since I had no boy living with me, I decided to satisfy myself with him. I know I did wrong. I am sorry. I truly am."

Chief Bernard concluded. By the time he finished, tears streamed down Eunice's face. Chief was also a victim. A victim of parental negligence. Even Barrister Olu, seasoned as he was, lowered his gaze briefly, but the judge stayed composed.

"Thank you, Chief Bernard," she said quietly. "But your story does not absolve your actions."

Chief nodded once and sat down slowly like a man carrying a thousand bricks on his back.

Then the judge opened her mouth…

What she said next shook the courthouse

CHAPTER 5

As the bike sped off, she turned to look back. She saw Chief's men running after them, but she was already gone. Her grip on the bag tightened as the wind hit her face. The bike wove through the congested Lagos traffic like a thread through a needle. Every second felt like borrowed time when they reached a quiet corner off a street in Abule Egba. She tapped the rider's shoulder. "Stop here.”

The bike pulled up beside an abandoned kiosk. Eunice quickly paid and before the rider could ask any questions, she disappeared into a narrow compound behind the kiosk and bent under the shade of an old mango tree. Her chest heaved. Her legs were still shaking. She looked around. The place was quiet. A near-forgotten yard with a rusted zinc roof and broken cement benches. She had passed it once on her way to market years back.

With trembling hands, she brought out her phone. She dialed the only number she had memorized. The delivery guy.

It rang once. "Hello." His deep voice answered.

"It's me. I need you to pick me up. Remember the junction near that old filling station at Abule Egba?" She asked, glancing around nervously.

"I know it. I will be there in 10 minutes," he told her.

She ended the call immediately. Then, before her nerves could betray her, she powered off the phone completely and removed the battery. She had worked in that house long enough to know how Chief Bernard operated. He had contacts in the force, friends in high places, and ways to trace anyone f00lish enough to keep their phone on after fleeing him.

She sat silently in the shadows, hugging her bag to her chest. Exactly 10 minutes later, the delivery guy arrived. He opened the door and Eunice jumped in without a word. The driver sped off immediately. He drove her straight to the same venue he drove Chuka to earlier that day.

Eunice was led into a small, clean bungalow with low lighting. It was a private shelter for at-risk minors and vulnerable women owned by Mrs. Aayi, a retired nurse and lifelong caregiver.

Moments later, she saw Chuka. He was seated at the far end of the room with a warm blanket draped over his shoulders. His eyes widened the moment he saw her.

"Auntie Eunice."

She rushed to him and hugged him tightly. "I'm here," she said. "You're safe. I promise you, you're safe now."

Tears rolled silently down Chuka's face. But this time, they weren't from pain. They were from relief.

Eunice sat with him for a few minutes, her hand firmly in his until one of the shelter workers came and led him to another room to rest. Then she stood up, took a deep breath, and reached into her bag. She pulled out a second phone, one she had bought months back. She scrolled through the contacts and dialed. Tonia, her university roommate.

The phone rang twice. "Tonia, it is Eunice. I need help. Big help." Eunice said immediately.

Tonia picked up. "I have a video evidence of something terrible. Something involving Chief Bernard Oiora."

"Are you okay? Are you safe?" Tonia asked, sounding concerned.

"Yes, I'm in hiding, but I need to talk to your dad."

Tonia gasped. "You want to speak to my dad? Now I'm scared. What happened?"

Eunice begged her to arrange a meeting for her and her father in a private location, which she did.

Back at the mansion, Chief Bernard had called Felix, his PA, and Eunice's brother. He asked him to call his sister to order or risk losing his job. Felix dialed Eunice's number countless times, but unfortunately it was switched off. Chief had also sent some men out to search everywhere for Eunice. "Do not return to this house until you find her," he thundered.

The next morning, Eunice took a bike to the Johnson's private garden, wearing a plain dress and face cap. Tonia waved her over from a corner. Beside her sat Barrister Johnson Olu Femi, her father, a respected human rights lawyer, retired senior advocate known across Lagos for taking on the powerful and breaking them. He looked up, his eyes sharp and full of quiet fi re.

Eunice greeted him respectfully, took a deep breath, pulled out the USB, and placed it gently on the table. Then with her voice trembling but clear, she said, "I worked for Chief Bernard and I saw what he was doing to the young boy he claimed to be helping. That man, he's a monster and I want the world to know."

Eunice went on to narrate what she saw Chief do to Chuka. The lawyer's jaw clenched as he took the USB. He didn't say a word at first, but when he finally spoke, his voice was heavy with conviction.

"Chief Bernard is a tough man with connections. Whatever it is you have in this USB must be handled with care. This is not just any case. But I promise you he will never hu rt another ch.ild again."

He immediately called his trusted family doctor who went with Eunice to examine Chuka for more evidence.

The next morning, Barrister Johnson Olu Femi didn't waste time. By 9:00 a.m. he had filed an urgent petition to the Lagos State Police Command, the Ministry of Justice, and the National Human Rights Commission. Attached to the petition were a full statement from Eunice, a detailed medical report from the doctor who examined Chuka and the USB video evidence that captured Chief Bernard's dis gusting acts. The language in the petition was sharp and unforgiving.

By noon, the file was stamped. By 2:00 p.m., the commissioner of police had seen the footage. And by evening, Chief Bernard received a visit he never expected.

Chief Bernard sat in his lavish living room, sipping a glass of chilled orange juice and scrolling through headlines. The tension of the last two days had made him cautious, but not afraid. He had influence, friends in the force, and dirt on many people. He believed nothing could touch him until his phone rang.

"Sir," the headguard's voice came through. "There are men here, armed police officers with marked vehicles. They said they were sent from the commissioner's office."

He asked the guards to let them in.

The policeman greeted him and one of them said, "Chief Bernard Oiora, this is the Nigeria Police Force. You are hereby invited to respond to a petition filed against you."

Chief didn't argue with them. He made a few calls and then followed them quietly. He was so sure that he had nothing to worry about.

At the police headquarters, Chief was ushered into a private holding room, but he didn't sit. He looked directly at the officer in charge and said, "Who brought this case?"

The officer looked at him coldly and replied, "Her name is Eunice."

He was asked several questions and he denied all the allegations levied against him. After the questioning session, he was detained. The police were reviewing the case, as they said. But Chief wasn't worried. He had spent years building relationships favor for favor, handshake for handshake. He made some more calls. He called the assistant commissioner of police who assured him that he would take care of everything.

"You don't need to worry, chief. We've handled messier things than this," he told Chief.

Will Chief escape this time?

Chapter 4

The next day at the warehouse, Chuka didn't speak much. He just moved from one end to another, pretending to be busy, his eyes constantly scanning the gates, waiting for the signal. At exactly 2:57 p.m., he saw it. Eunice standing near the entrance in a plain anchor gown, holding a brown envelope in one hand and a nylon bag of food in the other. She gave a slight nod. Just one. That was the sign.

Chuka's heart pounded like a drum. He quietly excused himself from the sales desk and made his way toward the back alley, gripping his chest to calm himself.

Meanwhile, Chief Bernard was having a meeting with some business partners in his office at his hotel. He began to feel uneasy. His wrist bead, which was also a charm, began to shake. He sat upright in his leather chair. Eyes narrowed. He felt it. Something was wrong. He quickly ended the meeting. He made some incantations and immediately knew where the problem was coming from. He called his driver and asked him to get the car ready. Within few minutes, they were on their way to the warehouse.

Back at the warehouse, Chuka had just slipped into the back of the delivery van. Eunice handed the driver a small brown envelope. "Just take him straight to the shelter," she whispered. "No stops. And don't answer any calls until you get there."

"Understood," the man nodded, glancing once at the trembling boy hiding in the back seat under a sheet.

Eunice closed the door and tapped it twice. As the van began to drive off, she turned to re-enter the main compound, only to freeze. Chief Bernard's car was pulling in. Eunice's heart dropped. She managed to sneak out, took a bike, and left the warehouse immediately.

Chief stepped out, eyes scanning the warehouse like a hawk. He didn't smile. He didn't greet anyone. He walked with purpose, radiating from every step.

"Where's Chuka?" He barked at one of the junior staff.

The boy stuttered. "He… He just stepped out, sir. Maybe the restroom."

Chief didn't wait. He turned toward the back alley. They all searched everywhere for Chuka, but couldn't find him. Chief knew immediately that he would be in a mess if Chuka wasn't found.

Chuka sat silently in the back of the delivery van, hidden beneath a thin bed sheet, his hands trembling as the van sped through the bustling streets of Lagos. His heart refused to settle. Every honk outside felt like it was coming for him. Every speed bump felt like a warning, but he didn't say a word. He just kept his head low, clutching the small plastic bag Eunice had pressed into his hands before they parted a bottle of water, a biscuit, and the simless phone she promised to activate once he was safe.

Meanwhile, Chief Bernard was boiling. Back at the warehouse, he stormed into his office, slamming the door behind him. He paced the floor like a lion that couldn't find its prey. He had checked every corner. Chuka was gone and deep in his gut. He knew this wasn't just a coincidence. Someone had helped him. Something told him it was Eunice. He had been feeling funny around Eunice for some weeks, but he had ignored the feeling.

He opened his office drawer and took out a black pot. He made some incantations, then stared into it and whispered, "Show me who betrayed me." He stared at it for a while. "Eunice!" he screamed .

Back in the mansion, Eunice sat in her room watching the recorded video for the third time. She had saved it on a USB drive, then another copy on a hidden phone, then emailed it to herself. She wasn't going to take chances.

Her phone buzzed. It was a new number, a contact from the shelter calling to confirm that Chuka had arrived safely. "He's with us," the woman said, "shaken, but safe."

Eunice exhaled deeply. "Thank you," she whispered, eyes misty.

But just as she began to tidy up the gadgets, a knock came at the door. She froze. She didn't move. Then a voice called out deep, steady, chilling.

"Eunice, open the door."

Her blood ran cold. It was Chief Bernard.

"Open the door."

The knock was firm now, deliberate, not a request. Eunice stood frozen in the middle of her room, her heartbeat drumming in her ears. The USB containing the damning video was zipped inside her small brown bag, which she held tightly. She didn't respond. The doorknob turned, but she had locked the door.

Chief shouted in anger. "I said, open this door, Eunice."

Eunice stepped back quietly, eyes darting around the room. There was no way she could escape. The only door led directly to him. Her feet moved soundlessly toward the wardrobe. She took out a pair of slippers and slipped them on, preparing for anything.

Then, just as Chief reached for the door again, a loud voice echoed from downstairs. It was the gateman. "Sir, two police officers are at the gate." "They said they want to see you and that it is urgent," the gateman announced.

The moment the word police hit the air, Chief Bernard stiffened. "Police?" he b@rked.

"Yes, sir," replied the gateman.

For a moment, Chief thought it might have something to do with Chuka. "Let them in," he told the gateman. And then his footsteps moved quickly, angrily, down the stairs.

Eunice didn't wait. The moment she heard the click of his heels against the tiled foyer downstairs, she swung open her door, crept across the corridor, and slipped into the back hallway near the kitchen. She moved like wind and ducked into the laundry area. There, hidden behind a shelf, was the old servant's back exit. She opened it gently. No noise, no hesitation. Then, holding the bag tightly, she dashed out.

Meanwhile, at the visitors living room, Chief Bernard received the police officers. He immediately recognized one of them, Inspector Duro Jai, someone he had occasionally supported.

"Inspector, what's this all about?" Chief asked, voice guarded.

The officer adjusted his cap. "Sorry for the visit, sir. I just came to follow up on that incident with your ex employee, the one who ran off with that 1.2 million naira spare parts payment. My DPO said I should confirm if the complaint was still active."

Chief blinked. He exhaled slowly. "Oh, that," he said masking his relief. "Yes, yes, it is active."

They spoke for a while and as they talked, something else was happening. Inside the security room, a guard staring at the CCTV monitor suddenly sat up. On screen, he saw Eunice climbing the fence behind the kitchen fast with her small bag clutched to her side. The guards slammed the alarm button. He alerted two other security men. They reported to Chief immediately that Eunice was about to jump the fence.

"Catch her! Catch her!" he bellowed, already running back toward the house.

Eunice hit the ground hard, scraping her palm, but didn't stop. She dashed through the narrow back path behind the compound, jumping over exposed drainage, her slippers slapping against the dusty earth. Behind her, voices shouted. Security guards were giving a chase. Her lungs burned. Her throat dried, but she kept running.

She reached the main road, breathless and panicked, holding the bag like it was her child. A bike man was sitting under a tree, scrolling through his phone.

"Bike! Bike!" she screamed.

He looked up startled.

"I will pay any amount. Please get me out of here," she begged.

Without asking questions, the rider kicked the engine. She climbed on quickly and shouted, "Move before they reach here."

Will she really escape?

Chapter 3

The truth rose like bile in her throat. Everything made sense now. the broken marriage, the whispers, the nightly visits to Chuka's room, the cold look in his eyes whenever she tried to smile at him.

Eunice hugged herself tightly. She felt s ick and dis gusted. But more than anything, she felt protective. Protective of the young boy in the next room, crying himself to sleep every night while the world thought he was living in comfort.

"No," she whispered aloud. "He's not going to d£stroy that boy."

She stood up and walked to her small wardrobe, determined to help Chuka, no matter what it would cost her.

The next morning, Eunice moved through the mansion like nothing had changed. She cleaned the glass tables. She swept the stairs. She ironed Chief Bernard's clothes and even placed his phone on the charger without flinching. But beneath her calm surface, she was really angry. But she also knew she had to be smart. One wrong move, one careless word, and it could be her own life that ended. Or worse, she could put Chuka in more danger. She needed to act. But first, she needed Chuka to trust her.

That evening, just after dinner, she watched Chief drive out for a late meeting. He often did that on Thursdays, left the house around 7:00, and returned just before midnight. Once his car disappeared beyond the gate, Eunice knocked gently on Chuka's door.

There was no answer. She knocked again, softer. "Chuka, it's me, Auntie Eunice."

Slowly, the door creaked open. Chuka's eyes peeked through the gap. They were swollen, tired, cautious. He opened the door wider, but didn't say a word. Eunice stepped in and shut the door behind her gently.

For a moment, she just stood there looking at the boy. He looked thinner than he did weeks back, like hope was draining from him little by little.

"I know," she said softly. "I know what he's been doing to you."

Chuka's eyes widened in horror. He took a shaky step back. His lips trembled. His breathing grew shallow. "No, no, auntie, please. I didn't tell anybody. I didn't."

She held up her hand gently. "I'm not here to hvrt you. I'm here to help you."

He stared at her, confused.

"I saw him enter your room," she whispered. "I heard. I've been watching."

Then a tear rolled down Chuka's cheek. He sank to the bed, hands covering his face, crying openly, bitterly, like someone finally released from silent pris0n.

Eunice sat beside him, rubbing his back gently like a mother would.

"I tried to tell someone," he choked out. "But when I did, my throat tightened. Something is tying my mouth."

Eunice nodded slowly. "He's using charms. I believe that. But even charms can break when light enters the darkness."

Chuka looked at her. "Can I ever be free?"

"Yes," she said with certainty. "But we must be careful. We need a plan, and I need you to be brave."

Chuka nodded through tears.

"I've worked in this house for over 2 years. I know where the security cameras are. I know when he's home and when he's not. We'll start small first. We'll gather proof. I'll find a way to record what happens when he enters your room because nobody will believe us without proof. They will call me bitter and they'll call you a liar. But if we can show them, everything will change."

Just then, they heard the sound of the gate opening. Chief Bernard was back. Eunice grabbed the mop she brought with her and made it look like she had just finished cleaning. She winked at Chuka quickly, then opened the door and walked out casually just as the chief was entering the hallway.

"Ah, Eunice," he called, his voice calm.

"Yes, sir," she replied, turning back with a practiced smile.

"I hope you've cleaned my room."

"Yes, sir. I just finished now."

"Good. Bring me hot water and massage oil in 15 minutes."

"Yes, sir." She bowed slightly and walked off.

Eunice knew she had only one chance to get it right. Video recording. That morning, after preparing breakfast and laying out Chief Bernard's favorite suit, she slipped into Chuka's room with a small brown paper bag. Chuka was folding shirts in his wardrobe, getting ready for the warehouse. When he saw her, he immediately shut the door behind her, his eyes filled with silent questions.

Eunice opened the paper bag and revealed a tiny button-sized spy camera. It was no bigger than a fingernail, fitted into the corner of an old key holder that had long lost its keys.

"I got this from a woman I cleaned for years ago," she whispered. "She sells security gadgets. It has a motion sensor. Once someone walks into the room, it will start recording on its own. No blinking lights, no sound. I have charged it already."

She walked over to his wardrobe and opened the middle shelf. "Place it right here," she said, showing him the spotted dark corner that had a perfect view of his bed. "Make sure the wardrobe door stays just slightly open, not too wide, not closed."

Chuka nodded nervously.

Eunice turned to him and took a deep breath. "Tonight, when he comes, don't say anything. Don't move too much. Just let the camera see everything." She touched his shoulder gently. "After tonight, things will change. I promise you."

That night at 11:30 p.m., Chuka placed the camera exactly where Eunice had shown him, inside the wardrobe, hidden behind his folded trousers. The lens peaked through a crack in the wooden door, directly facing his bed.

Then, at the usual time, Chief Bernard entered his room and did the same thing he had been doing every night. The camera recorded everything. When he finally left nearly an hour later, Chuka stayed frozen in place.

The next morning Eunice slipped into his room as soon as she could. She retrieved the camera, hid it inside her cleaning apron, and walked out silently. She took it to her room, locked her door, and played it. Tears fell silently down her face.

"This is it," she whispered. "This is what the world will hear."

But first, she had to get Chuka out.

That evening when Chief was out of the house at one of his business dinners, Eunice slipped into Chuka's room again.

"Now listen to me. Tomorrow when you go to the warehouse, I'll meet you there around 3:00 p.m. I'll act like I came to drop food or documents for Chief. When you see me near the gate, walk to the back alley. I'll signal a delivery van guy. He's a good person. He doesn't ask questions. I will have a change of clothes for you in his van. He will drive you out of that place."

Chuka's hands trembled. And then he asked, "Where will I go?"

"I have someone I trust," Eunice replied. "A retired nurse who runs a small shelter on the mainland. I used to clean for her before I started working here. You'll be safe there. I'll come later once I leak this recording to the right people."

Chuka nodded, fear and hope crashing into each other inside him. "What if he finds out?" he asked.

"He won't. Not if we're careful," Eunice said. She placed a hand gently on his shoulder. "You've been through hell, Chuka. But I swear on everything I have left in this world. I won't let him win."

Chuka's eyes filled with tears. "Thank you," he whispered. "I don't know why you care, but thank you."

Eunice blinked rapidly, trying to keep herself from crying, too. "I am helping you because silence is what protects m0nsters. I will not keep quiet and let £vil prevail."

Will her plan work out?

What Will happen next?
