Fourteen -- Ewawummi
I ran straight to boss. I needed to hear it right from him. I knocked as the door opened.
"Yeah, we were waiting for you. Did you hear?" He asked as I nodded.
"Yes sir. I heard a little but came here for the full details. How was he killed? Is the scene still pure?" I asked as he stood up.
"Let's go to the scene." We stepped out and I told Ini to tag along. He smiled before greeting. I slowly pushed the door opened as we walked in. His body had been carried out already. His posture was marked with a red marker. The cleaner's dress was sprawled on the floor that means he didn't leave in the cleaner's form.
"Was he clothed when he was found?" I asked as I picked up the cloth.
"No he wasn't. He only had his undergarments on." Boss replied as I turned to him.
"In order words, he must have left in his clothes. Looking at this initia
Chapter Fifteen -- IseoluwaWe all sat round the table at the hotel. We were in Abigail's room. Funke was a little scared as she kept rubbing her palms."Who are you guys?" She said slowly as I stared."We are people who are interested in freeing you dad. We need your help to get your dad's statement." I explained as she nodded."Statement for what? I hope you aren't trying to threaten him to something wrong right?" She said firmly as I sighed."Of course no. We are really trying to help." Abigail answered her softly as she nodded."So, what am I supposed to do? How do I help?" She asked as I smiled."Shall we?" I turned to Abigail who nodded in response. ***We waited patiently for the labourer to come out. On seeing us, he
Sixteen -- KunleI sprawled on my bed after returning from the hospital. My phone rang. I sighed before stretching my arms to reach it. Without bothering to look at the caller, I picked it."Oh my, you did pick up." She said as I groaned. Why did I pick it up?"Should I go off?" I retorted as I can imagine her shaking her head."No, son. I really wanted to hear your voice. It's been days since you have left. I haven't heard from you enough. I was really worried..." I cut her off."Cut to the chase mom, would you?" I snapped. I really can't keep playing nice."Oh... Okay. Have you been eating well? Also, how have you been finding work?" She spoke softly as I sighed. I really should try being nice."Mom, I have been eating. Also, work has been cool. Are you satisfied?" I said slowly trying not to shout."Alright then. But, I still think being the Poli
Seventeen -- Iseoluwa"You are looking really pretty." I said smiling as she sighed adjusting the maid dress."Seriously Eric, you owe me one." Abigail stated plainly as Eric laughed before nodding."That's the only way. Tonight is the best time to strike and you would be the inner strike we have. I am giving him the drugs today. So, find a way to leak that out. I would be there to communicate too. Don't worry." He stated softly as she nodded."Alright, let's get going. Are you done packing the goods?" She said as he nodded."Johnny already helped with that one. He would leave when we see that this is a total progress." He added as I dialed David's number."What's up with the girl? Are things going as we planned?" I asked as he laughed."We are back at the hotel. I would explain when we get in." He said as I nodded waiting for him."David is c
Eighteen -- Ewawummi"I found her address." Ini rushed in as I jerked up. I barely ate anything since I watched that video. It pained me to see a lot of people mourning over a boss like that. How dare he harassed her? How dare he hit her?"Boss, let's get going." He broke my stream of thoughts as I picked up my phone following him. He drove the car because he knew how narrow minded I am now. I can't guarantee that we won't have an accident."Boss, you need to calm down. You won't get any information with this attitude. You know that boss." He emphasized as I nodded."I am calming down already. Once we get to her place, I would have been okay." I said as he nodded. It took us a while to reach her out. It was small and cosy. She must be the only one living here.We knocked on the door for a while before it opened. A man came out... Oh, she is the one! Wait, she is dressed as a male at home? I passed I
Nineteen -- Eric"I am sure you have seen my maid." I asked Johnson over the phone has he laughed."Yeah, sure. She is such a pretty looking thing. It's nice to have such eye treatment in your house daily." He smirked as I rolled my eyes. How dare he called Abigail a thing?"Anyways, I would be sending the goods very soon. The Maid told me that you would be needing six box of apples to make the fruit juices. I plan to make it seven. The last one would be the goods thoroughly and neatly parked in the packet. A few apples would be on top. You just have to identify it that's all." I said as I could sense him nodding."That's not bad. But, how do I recognize it? What if someone else picks it up. It's game over!" He stated as I smiled."The tape used would be brown while the others are transparent. Besides, I would tape your name to it. Just state that your doctor said you needed more apples that's why you bought a
Twenty -- Iseoluwa"Mission perfect. We only need a step more guys." I said as we all were connected so we could hear each other."You need to see his expression, guys. It was horrible. Also, I met the police on my way out. Did they already come too arrest him?" I asked as they laughed."No not him. He would be arrested but not now. They came to pick his son for drugs. Nice job, Abigail." I said as she smiled."It was fun though I had to fall down." She whined."Really? Did you get hurt?" David asked as Eric cleared his throat. My response was a laugh."No, I'm okay." She said softly as I smirked."How about you disconnect the call and proceed to have a private discussion?" I stated slowly as David huffed."It isn't like that." Abigail whined."Anyway, what's the last step we need to have take. The man's ruined already." Abigail add
Twenty One -- Kunle"What do you mean dead?" My boss shouted as all the other junior officers stood straight."Yes sir. We were almost at the door step when we had the gunshot. By the time we got there, he was already dead. We could only hear groans from the rest room and we found the lawyer." One of them stated as boss nodded."Any statement from the lawyer?" He questioned."He only testified to seeing a man in all black. He was the one who knocked him out. He also thinks that he might be responsible for his death." He replied as boss nodded again."Then, is he also the one that uploaded all his crimes? Why would he do that?" Boss queried himself as he dismissed everyone except me."What do you think?" He asked as my eyes widened in shock. I smiled in return as I stood properly. I have wanted to say something since."It's obvious that you have something to say. So,
Twenty Two -- Iseoluwa"Wait, what?" I uttered as my mind played David's words. He can't be here! We seriously needed to travel. How would we do it?"The police are aware about us, we have to leave for a while." Eric said."But, Mr. Durotola is here and he leaves in three weeks. Once he travels out, we might not be able to get him again. He is staying for a few years." David added as I sighed."So, we need to get him in three weeks. We don't have a choice." Abigail sighed as I shrugged."Exactly, we can't travel. We need to catch the man. David, how about Janet and her Father?" I asked as he smiled."They must have arrived at the house over there. It was smart of you to think of travelling them out. The police wouldn't be able to trace them." He said as I nodded."So, we need to take care of Johnson. He must have given the officers Eric's name." I thought for
