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
Twenty Three -- Ewawummi"Boss, can you see it all went well? Big boss agreed." Ini said as I nodded. I actually thought it was going to be difficult but immediately boss was shown the video, his guard and pride went down. He also couldn't believe what he was seeing. We told him about the woman's statement and what we intended to do. He thought for a while before nodding to our request. We were fast enough to meet boss as he hasn't communicated with other seniors. It was very easy to silence and the rest of the officers have been told to keep quiet."Did you listen to the news recently?" I asked Ini as he nodded."Yeah, Mr. Badejo was killed by some people who revealed his crimes. Serves him right!" Ini muttered as I turned to him."Serves him right? How could you say that?" I asked as he shrugged."Did you hear how he framed a man for his crimes? That man served seven good years and he p
Twenty Four -- IseoluwaI quietly locked the door before stumbling on the bed. It had been really hard to bottle all the emotions inside me. I had to be strong for the team but my inside had been burning. I sighed rolling my side so that I was facing up.Memories from the past kept flooding in no matter how hard I tried to block it. I just couldn't stop seeing them. Also, the weight of being framed for killing someone isn't part of my plan. I never knew he was going to die. Who was responsible for his death? Perhaps, his team members or the other two that were involved in the case?Urggh! I groaned as I strolled to my book shelf. My very help is what I needed badly now. I carefully scanned through the books before settling for a book on delusional disorder. I might find delusions an escape of my past memories. I rolled over, dwelling on the painful path of the protagonist in the novel. He was an orphan like me. Wow, we were re
Twenty Five -- Iseoluwa"Are we on spot?" I said as they answered. We were all connected with a device. David was stationed at the vehicle as usual. He was very fast at driving. So, in case we needed to run away, he was the best driver. Abigail went ahead to disturb the warders watching. Eric was on guard looking for the right time to take action.I brought my telescope to my face to view what was happening from above. Abigail was totally catching their attention. The mid thigh cream coloured gown she won totally hooked them. She seemed to be having a great conversation as they were all laughing."Eric, the coast is clear. I can't see anyone coming. Make the move." I said as Abigail adjusted herself on hearing us. Eric made eye contact with Johnson as he nodded. He held unto the cutlass as he began cutting in Eric's direction. Eric hid in a nearby bush. It wasn't easy trying to jump the fence. Avoiding the o
