The assassin 3

Would you be going back to him?

Yes, but allow him rest. I'd meet with him later.

.........

Multiple personality is the most dramatic but least common dissociative disorder; individuals suffering from this disorder have two or more distinct selves. Fugue which means flight, is another disorder in which an individual travels from home to assume new identity.

Each personality of a MPD has its own memories, behaviours and relationships; one personality dominates the individual at one point; another personality takea over at the other time. The personalities are not aware of each other unless summoned. The personality shift occurs after sudden distress.

The most mischievous personality leaves the individual with hangover, bills and a reputation that is unexplainable.

In most cases, MPD is caused by sexual or physical abuse during early childhood.

Cases are rare.

Alex's was a bit severe.

It wasn't hard to make tope believe I was someone he knew, mostly controlled by seyi; the superior personality that stammered due to rejection as a child from both parents.

Seyi wanted companionship while Tope wanted revenge, both of them however, lived in Alex's body.

Alex is 34 years old man who really didn't about anything but his job.

UnAware that he had MPD, he got in trouble multiple times over expenses his pay cheque couldn't cover.

It became more severe when DNA from most crime scene lead the investigators to him, yet no one had an explaination of how he could be in Benin one night and Ogun state at day break. 

Tope felt hatred for everyone who didn't believe in him, hence killing most of his childhood friends and school mates.

Seyi on the other hand derived pleasure in communicating with other, hence, the meeting with me.

Seyi mostly wanted the void to be filled, he searched for that love with women.

I believe Tope couldn't get the attention due to his stammering and non challant habit of dressing.

Seyi was the cool version of workaholic Alex and reserved but dangerous tope.

When I found him in one of the club house that Friday, I knew the best way to get him was to paint images in his head.

Although he was cool, he wasn't so smart.

...... You can tell the next location of a victim with MPD from the search of their recent mischievous activities.....

Run through those locations, I said to the investigator who was helping us.

Give me the list of every girl he met with and every dude he balled with.

What are their addresses? The girls outfits? What is his main attraction?.

Send an email to everyone he has been with so they can learn to sit their butts down in their homes. They could have been killed like his school mates.

 

As I walked out of the vehicle door, i whispered to tommy; the investigator, tell your team to stay away unless if my life is at risk.

With my skimpy blue dress, I walked to tope's table. Drink on me Mr.

Hello sweetness, he responded.

How about a night?

You don't remember me ? I questioned.

 

.... Although the other personalities function on the individual's income, they create a storyline and belief which they sell out to people they meet. 

Tope Johnson, that is his name said one of the girls from the club....

Aren't you seyi Johnson? From Magodo high school?. 

Oh.. I am.. I don't remember...

I am shantel, the head girl.

Remember our final year? I came in the last year. You don't remember?

We dated for sometimes after college.

Oh, I don't...

Woaw, that's fine, I snapped knowing a person in search of acceptance wouldn't deny a broken soul. 

How about we catch up, he said.

Sure, drinks on me.

The second day, I summoned Tope, but he wouldn't answer.

So I summoned seyi by the place he loved most, the water side.

When I killed him, it wasn't with a gun.

I summoned him.

Cajoled him

Made up stories that made him feel wanted.

When the gun was shot, he was pulled out of Alex's body.

Seyi is gone.
