Ordeal of the Innocent

When Noma's bus failed to pitch up for her usual school ride, she began to panick.

When a sleek car driven by a smartly dressed guy stopped to offer her a lift to school, Noma breathed easy.

It was the heaviest breath she had ever taken in her life as the driver switched to a menacing brute. Many kilometers out of town, Noma could realise that she was in a jam.

It was a kidnap plot, and Noma could only watch in horror as her destiny flashed before her eyes.
