Forty One -- Kunle
After series of call, she picked up. "Wow, my son who never wants to hear my voice finally calls. How amazing." She mocked as I clenched my fist.
"Where are you?" I replied as she laughed.
"Awwwn, my son. Are you concerned about your mother now? It's okay. I can't be caught." She said as I inhaled sharply. She was getting me angry but I needed to keep cool if I wanted to get any useful information.
"Where are you right now? I will come to you." I said as she sighed.
"With the officers? Hey, I am not that foolish." She replied as I lost it.
"Which son would want his mother arrested? Can you just tell me where you are and let me get you? You are the next, don't you know that?" I shouted as there was silence at the other end.
"Are you still there?" I said slowly.
"You are my son after all. I am at your hotel. I
Forty Two -- Iseoluwa"Do you mean it?" Dave questioned as I clenched my fist."I knew we weren't compatible. It wasn't because of my cold nature but the fact that he was my greatest enemy son." I replied as I was digging deep into his family affairs online."What do we do? Should we park? You said he knows about us. What if he reports us? Things have gone out of hands! It's gonna be bad if Ewa finds out too." Eric muttered pacing around."Let's plan to leave. That's our priority. Ewa finding out is nothing compared to your safety." I replied as Abigail sighed."Ise, it is obvious that you like her. Come on, you do love her. Don't fight it." She whispered as I laughed in despair."What? Love? Hey, I planned to use her from the very start. That's what I'm still doing. It's totally heartless to call it love." I answered her. Eric passed a look to David as they left us alone.
Forty Three -- Iseoluwa"Why did you have to get the same flavour as mine?" She mocked with a sly smile as she carefully sucked in her ice cream."Well, I think I've been whipped." I winked before pulling her into the vehicle. My phone rang as I picked it."Eric? What's up?" I asked as he sounded panicked. Is something wrong? "Speak up!""They caught hold of Dave. That witch and her gang. He is in trouble. What should we do?" He cried out as I suddenly pressed the brake making us jolt forward."Damn! Hold on, I'm coming." I hung up. "I need to get somewhere. I'll get a cab for you." I said as I got down. She did the same and walked over to me."What's wrong? Is it very important?" She asked purely worried as I tried to keep cool."Ewa, you will go home and relax. Okay? Everything's fine." I replied as she shook her head in tears."Why are you
Forty Four -- EwawummiSomething was really wrong. But, what? I clenched unto his Identity Card I picked from the floor as I paced around. Why did it feel like that was the last time I would see him. Oh God, please keep him save.My phone suddenly rang and I ran to it hoping it was Ise. "Ini? Hello." I replied disappointed."Boss, are you okay? You don't sound well?" He replied as I sighed."I am really not okay, Ini. I am so worried right now. I don't know what to do." I said honestly."Why? The case is giving you problem? Or perhaps? Ise?" There was humor laced with his last word. Ini was like family to me so I told him a lot of things."The latter. Something is wrong somewhere and I don't seem to understand. It's like I might not get to see him again. I feel so uneasy." I explained as he hummed in response."If he isn't telling you, you shouldn't dig too deep and
Forty Five -- Iseoluwa"You didn't have to come. Why would you risk your life?" Dave scolded me as he kept breathing heavily."Do you think I would leave you here? I saw the memory card." I said as he sighed in relief. "How did you get it? I never knew it existed." I said as he turned with a smile. His lips was bleeding already."When we arrived from Canada, I dialed your doctor's number. He had the recording for a long time. I caught him with it and he couldn't deny. He was just so afraid. I called him then and promised to do a clean job without his name being mentioned. After much persuasion, he sent it to me this morning. I planned to tell you when I arrived but, I got kidnapped." He said as I wished I was free to hug and thank him."Thank you Dave, I'm really glad you gave me the opportunity to hear mom's voice and dad's too. I will make sure you get out of here safe." I said as he laughed."We
Forty Six -- Ewawummi"A crazy jerk in love with a sassy officer." He said as my heart leaped for joy. He was in love with me. But, what's wrong with me? I was supposed to be mad at him but here am I in his arms."Put me down. I can walk." I said as he opened the window. I peeped outside. The fire fighters were already down with their water tank."Hold me tight, we are going to jump." He said as I gasped. What?"We are on the first floor." I complained as he adjusted me."Close your eyes." He said as he passed through the already burning window. I could hear screams from people but I couldn't risk opening my eyes. We ended up hitting the floor with me falling upon him. I opened my eyes slowly and gasped on seeing Ise's condition. His head was bleeding badly. Why didn't I notice that it was this worse. He was already feeling dizzy."Are you okay?" His voice came out barely as a whisp
~"End it! End it all!" The voice kept ringing in my ears. As silent as it was, it had that much intensity. I wouldn't give in to it but I could use some release. I jerked up from my bed as I dashed towards my drawer. I was thoroughly ransacking it for something. Nothing in particular actually. Anything that could give me release now. I wouldn't mind using it. My hands grabbed something; yea, it's a lighter. I brought it out. This could do. I flicked it on and brought it beneath my elbow. The burning sensations lifted my spirit. It's weird but I find pleasure... I was suddenly smacked at my head making the lighter slipped from my hand.~"Dude, give the book back." I frowned tossing a coin at him. "There are few things I hate and stopping me from reading tops the list." I dead panned."Ish, you really need to stop reading books like this. I can't watch you go crazy. It's really weird that you stack your book shelf with varieties of ps
Come in." I muttered still going through the video footage. I suddenly had the light turned off.What the..."Happy birthday!!" They chorused with the light back on. The smile on my face was bright enough to lit up the whole station."Guys." I stood up and walked close to them. I can't believe I forgot my birthday. "Thanks for always remembering." I smiled sheepishly."Yes boss. We know how selfless you are. It's our duty to this." Ini, my next in command, replied. I really needed to start noticing days like this."Let's cut the cake. There is an after party today." He commented as I nodded blowing off the candles. My phone suddenly rang. I went back to my table to retrieve my phone. It was the Senior Officer."Sir!" I saluted as everyone stood still. "What? Right now sir?" I turned looking at everyone and the preparation. I am sorry guys." Yes sir, I am free sir.... Alright Sir." T
I relaxed on one of the sofas. I needed to line my thoughts in one direction. A lot of plans have been structured. The process and sequence is the part I needed to feast on."Give it back, it's mine!" David yelled as he ran down the stairs pursuing someone; I guess Abigail."I take this as your apology." She shouted back.I was right!.."Seriously, I can give anything you want but not my hair dryer." He shouted as I opened my eyes. All these ruckus for hair dryer? Seriously David?"You know it's different from the one here. I am the female here." She argued back as he shrugged."Well, i'm the one with the loose hair. You are making braids babe." He retorted as I shouted. I couldn't take it anymore."Can you guys both turn it down. You just disrupted my stream of thoughts. I really don't like that." I shouted as they nodded. After a few minutes silence, Abigail start
