Chapter 4 - Got tailed

After making some findings, Sonya was able to get the contact information of a psychologist from one of the workers in the mansion.

As she made her way to the bus station after closing from work; she decided to give the man a call to confirm if he can perform a home treatment, as she could not get Clara to the hospital but she could make her sleep while the doctor checked her out.

"Sir i'm telling you she claims she could control minds as well as water, air, earth and fire, do you still think she's mentally sane?" Sonya got incandescent at the man on the other side of the phone. The manner in which the man probe her make her feel like she was the one suffering from mental illness. 

As she was busy arguing with the man she didn't realize she was being followed.

This man tailing Sonya was a former scientist. He and his colleagues were out doing some research, when they accidentally witness a scene that changed their lives. It was the scene where Gregory and Clara's mother with hundreds of demons battle with each other.

They could have run for their lives, but being a researcher; they felt it was the best discovery ever and decide to stay, which cost them their lives. Only 'he' survived as he sneaked away from his other colleagues sides to have a closer look or maybe get samples.

Then suddenly he heard screams of his colleagues. As he walked back to where they are; he ran for his life at what he saw.

Getting back to the city, he decided to tell the world about what he had witnessed. When people heard what he had to say; they believe he has lost his mind and even accused him of having a hand in his colleagues disappearance. His investors withdraw their funds. He also spent most of his life being investigated by the police. His wife ran away with his son.

From a famous researcher he becomes a street roamer, losing everything he has ever own.

After listening to Sonya's words; he felt hope, an opportunity to prove to everyone they are wrong and he's right.

"F*ck! this man can make someone lose their sanity with his questions," Sonya snorted as she disconnected the call out of annoyance.

Getting to the bus station; she boarded a bus and the man did the same.

He tailed her to her place before leaving to make preparations for the next day. Based on Sonya's mood; he knew the doctor she called did not take her words seriously and this presented him with an opportunity.

The next day. Sonya was on her way to work when the man approached her from a distant.

"Hello Miss", he said to Sonya 

"Hum hello," Sonya said, assessing the man in front of her. he was dressed in a black suit trousers and a white shirt. Hair permed all the way back, while his eyes beamed with smiles.

"I'm doctor Matthew," he said, extending his hand

"Okay! doctor hum Matthew is it?" she replied leaving the man hand in mid-air, "how can I help you?" she added.  

Even if she needs help for her friend, she couldn't just acknowledge a stranger just because he claimed to be a doctor.

Even if he is indeed one, what does that have to do with her when she did not seek him out. 

Matthew withdrew his hand, not showing any sign of annoyance.

"Actually miss, there is a fifty percent possibility of your friend having a brain issue," Matthew begin his plan.

Immediately Sonya heard her friend and brain issue, her facial expression changed.

She looked up at Matthew with a serious expression "You are telling me there's also a fifty percent chance that she's telling the truth?" Sonya asked, but she felt like she's missing something here.

Seeing that he has managed to get to her, he brought out an identity card and show it to Sonya briefly before putting it back in his pocket. She only managed to confirm the man's name and pictures, but she didn't care to look more, as she only wants the man answer right away.

That was according to what I heard about the patient. I need to see her before I can give full analysis.

She knew something was amiss and she just realised what she was missing.

"If I may ask, how did you know about all this? " Sonya asked 

Matthew gave her a professional smile, he has prepared himself for this.
