(Final Episode – The Truth Is Out)
The school grounds of St. James College had never been more decorated. Banners, balloons, and carefully arranged chairs adorned the compound. Parents, students, teachers, and guests gathered for the Speech and Prize-Giving Day.
But Chisom had one mission: expose The Order before the ceremony ended.
She wore her uniform neatly, recorder hidden inside her blazer. Ada and Joshua were already in position, waiting near the control room where the projector was set up.
⏳ The Countdown Begins
The principal gave his opening speech, with applause following every line. He smiled, but Chisom saw through him now. This man, respected by all, was part of the rot.
As the award segment began, Joshua gave the signal. Chisom slipped away, meeting him behind the stage.
“You ready?” he whispered.
Chisom nodded. “Let’s end this.”
🎬 The Revelation
As the projector buzzed to life, the screen lit up — but instead of the school anthem video, Mrs. Halima’s recording played.
“This is Nurse Halima Abubakar. This is my confession…”
Gasps echoed through the crowd.
“…I was asked to alter a medical report to frame a student…”
“…Kunle was attacked for uncovering The Order…”
“…The principal knew. The Head Boy was involved…”
Chaos broke loose. Teachers tried to turn off the screen, but Ada had locked the system. The truth had nowhere to hide.
🧨 The Fallout
Parents stood up. A few cried. Others shouted. The principal grabbed the microphone, yelling for order.
But it was too late.
Students began whispering. Some staff members quietly slipped out. Then — the Head Boy stormed out of the hall, fists clenched, rage on his face.
Security moved toward the projector area.
“Run!” Joshua shouted.
Chisom, Ada, and Joshua dashed out the side, but not before one final image flashed on the screen — a photo of Kunle with the caption: “Gone. But not forgotten.”
🎓 One Week Later
St. James College was trending nationwide. News outlets picked up the story. Investigations began. The principal was suspended. Some staff were arrested.
Chisom received a letter of commendation from a student rights group.
She stood outside the school gate one last time.
Ada turned to her. “We actually did it.”
Joshua smiled. “We brought the Order down.”
Chisom exhaled. “No more secrets.”
They walked off together — survivors, truth-tellers, and forever changed.
🔚 The End.
