Midnight Ride: The Silent Passenger

Rain pounded the streets shortly after midnight. Kunle Adeyemi had spent over a decade driving Lagos taxis, facing drunk passengers, armed robbers, even fugitives. Yet nothing prepared him for the man who slipped into his back seat that night. The passenger wore a black suit, carried no luggage or umbrella, and uttered only one word: “Victoria Island.” Twenty minutes later, Kunle arrived. When he glanced in the rear-view mirror, the man lay motionless—three gunshot wounds in his chest, yet not a drop of blood stained the seats. Before Kunle could process the horror, his phone buzzed. An unknown voice whispered, “You have exactly thirty minutes to disappear,” then the line went dead. Alone with a dead stranger and a ticking clock, Kunle’s fight for survival was just beginning.
