CHAPTER EIGHT.
"How did you feel while we were in the boutique?" Chief Onapuruagu questioned Delma as she entered the car."I'm sorry." Delma apologized, lowering her head. "It won't happen again sir.""Don't get comfortable. Stick to business. I do not prize nudity." Chief Onapuruagu glanced at his wrist watch, then drove.Chief Onapuruagu parked his Benz behind Coco's black Ferrari. "Delma? Wait for me inside the club.""Yes sir." Delma nodded and left for the club.Chief Onapuruagu hoped to see the casket girl, again, tonight. He was determined to unmask her this time around, if he ever found her. He stepped down from his Benz and looked around, before he entered the club.Coco watched as Chief Onapuruagu entered the club. She could regcognize Chief Onapuruagu through Delma. She sat in her Ferrari answering serious calls. Brandy was already in the club, having a swell time. Tonight, Coco didn't come in any costume. She didn't come to unwind. She came to track an enemy.Mr. B, her biggest enemy. Over the course of time, Mr. B had managed to go scott free each time he stepped on her toes. Somehow, Chief Kaave always made excuses for him. Now that Chief Kaave was in prison, now that she found out Mr. B was responsible for her brother's death, this was the perfect time to serve him revenge. And she, Coco, swore, it would be cold.Her brother, Wave Kaave, was murdered when he was two years old. Even before Coco was conceived. She grew up to hear the story. Although, she enjoyed being the only child of her father, but, life would have been a little more fun having a sibling. And who was Mr. B to take the innocent life of a toddler? Whoever he was, she didn't care to know."So you're saying this is the wrong location?" Coco was about to lose it."No ma'am. He changed his mind about clubbing tonight. He decided to invite a group of prostitutes and throw a private house party last minute." The voice quickly responded, trying to calm Coco down."Meet me at his house in ten minutes. Come with 100 litres of fuel. We're setting the house ablaze." Coco ended the call and set for the road, sipping a bottle of Hennessy.***Coco Kaave parked outside and watched five of Chief Kaave's boys baptize the whole of Mr. B's building with fuel. The moment they were done, the boys entered their van and drove off. Coco in her Bentley, quite a distance from the building, looked up from her car and caught Mr. B staring at her from his balcony trying to decipher his environment.Coco glared up at him with murder in her eyes. She lit the firework in her hand and threw it straight to Mr. B's building. She watched his house burn from her rear view as she drove off. Not even the fire service department could save him.The boys made sure to destroy all tyres of the vans at the fire department. It would take awhile before any fire department will reach Mr. B's house. And before then, he must have burnt to hell. He could as well, say hi to Wave Kaave.***Monday morning, the FBI were at Chief Kaave's mansion interrogating Coco."You need to follow us to the station for further questioning." Detective Flynn said. "We are to search this entire building as well, before we proceed to the station."Jeremy and Brandy stood across Chief Kaave's living room, trembling in fear. Was Coco Kaave really been arrested?"Where's your arrest and search warrant?" Coco questioned without blinking an eye."We have the arrest warrant." Detective Flynn replied. He flashed a paper in Coco's face. Coco snatched the paper and carefully read."And the search warrant?" Coco continued."Shall we go to the station? We'll come back with the search warrant, then do the needful." Detective Flynn looked Coco straight in the eyes."Inform the lawyer Jeremy. Brandy, you're in charge." Coco said and followed the FBI to their van. As she entered the van, she caught Mrs. Kaave looking at her and smiling, from her bedroom upstairs.***Chief Onapuruagu was busy in a meeting when Delma barged in and whispered to his ears. He looked at his board members and quickly asked for a reschedule of the meeting. They came to an agreement and all members left the office."Detective Flynn?" Chief Onapuruagu couldn't hide his shock."Yes sir." Delma answered. "Do you know him?""Yes..." Chief Onapuruagu thought hard. "When did he leave New Jersey, when was he transferred to Dirty South?""I don't like the sound of worry in your voice sir. Anything the matter?" Over the course of time, Delma had never seen Chief Onapuruagu this worried."Detective Flynn is trouble. He doesn't give up. And now he's in Dirty South?" Chief Onapuruagu chuckled. "This is trouble for all of us, especially for Coco that loves being extra with everything.""He won't let her off the hook easily." Chief Onapuruagu added. "The streets need to have a meeting. Everyone needs to lay low right now. At least, until we figure out how to handle Flynn.""Should I send out invitations?" Delma asked."Not yet. Until I speak with Coco." Chief Onapuruagu sank to his chair, rubbing his eyes."Will it be wise to go over?" Delma didn't want him stressing or risking his dear life for the so called beautiful Coco Kaave. She prayed within her that she remained in custody of the FBI."Can I get you coffee?" Delma hoped he wouldn't turn her down. All she wanted at the moment was for him to feel better."Yes please.""Give me three minutes." Delma turned and left.***Back at Chief Kaave's mansion, Mrs. Kaave rang the bell in her room. The bell was specifically for her to communicate with the social workers whenever she needed food or water. She was dressed in bullet proof. The MICRO UZI in her right hand.She was prepared to strike. Now that Coco was away, this was her only chance. She knew it was now or never.The door opened. Brandy and one of Chief Kaave's boys stepped in. Mrs. Kaave didn't waste time in pointing the gun at both. First, she pointed at Brandy, then next, she steadied it on the boy."Lock the door and sit." Mrs. Kaave commanded.Brandy and The boy sat on the bed. Brandy began, "Please forgive me...I'm begging you. I can explain..I tried to talk to Coco to..""Shut up or, I'll blow your brains." Mrs. Kaave said trying to keep her voice low. "Search yourselves, then enter the bathroom, both of you."Brandy ran her fingers all over her body and dropped her two phones on the bed, rising her hands above her head. Chief Kaave's boy did the same. They both walked to the bathroom, Mrs. Kaave closely behind both, her aim steady. They got into the bathroom."Enter inside the jacuzzi." Mrs. Kaave's voice was dead serious.Brandy's eyes opened wide. The jacuzzi was filled with water! She cried out, "Please ma'am, don't do this to me. Give me a second chance, I'll leave Dirty South and never come back."Mrs. Kaave used her right foot and picked Brandy inside the jacuzzi. Chief Kaave's boy willingly entered. Mrs. Kaave watched both struggle inside the water, until, it seemed they had given up. Both bodies were floating inside the jacuzzi. Mrs. Kaave turned and left the bathroom.***"The police got a call from Mr. B that night, before his house caught fire. He mentioned your name repeatedly, until he could no more." Detective Flynn tried to explain to Coco Kaave in his office. "Where exactly were you on Saturday night?"Coco adjusted and removed her Balenciaga coat. "Golden Girl's club." Coco added, "Mr. Detective, did you check the CCTV footage of the club and Mr. B's building?"Yes we did." Replied Detective Flynn."And? I'm sure I was nowhere close to Mr. B's building or neighborhood Saturday night. Or, did the CCT footage say otherwise?" Coco further questioned."No. But.." Detective Flynn began."But what? So you're saying you have no concrete evidence against my client whatsoever relatable to the tragedy that befell Mr. B, except, that he allegedly phoned the police that night mentioning my client's name?" Attorney Chris aggressively cut off Detective Flynn."We've taken your client's statement. We will get back to you guys. But please note that your client cannot leave the country now, until investigations are completed." Detective Flynn said as he looked Coco Kaave in the eyes. He knew she was lying. He knew she was guilty. The FBI had given him a run down of her history first hand.And he was determined to put an end to the evil she, her father and their kin spread in Dirty South. Coco stared right back into his eyes, she wondered who the hell he was. She knew he wasn't playing. She knew, he knew the truth. She knew he was a hard one. A true one. She knew he wouldn't get off her dick anytime soon. And at the very moment, she swore to end him as well.Detective Flynn pushed papers across the table towards Coco and Attorney Chris. "Sign them."Coco and Attorney Chris carefully went through the papers before signing.***The head of security in Chief Kaave's mansion knocked firmly on the front door of Mrs. Kaave's bedroom. Why was both Brandy and one of the boys surprisingly spending a long time in the woman's bedroom?Mrs. Kaave positioned behind the door, waiting for the next person to step in, she readied the gun in her hands.The head security, opened the door, but he didn't step in. He rather called out Brandy, "Miss Brandy? Everything okay in there?" His eyes spotted the phones on the bed as he carefully peeped through. He tried to pay attention to every detail in the bedroom and noise coming from the bathroom. The tap was running!The image of Mrs. Kaave having a threesome with Brandy and the boy clouded his mind..his mind was painting images. He finally gathered courage and stepped into the bedroom. The moment he turned to close the door behind him, he met Mrs. Kaave standing in front of him, pointing a gun to his head.Mrs. Kaave used her left hand and locked the door. "You? Perfect!"The head security looked around in search of Brandy and the boy. He suddenly remembered the running tap and ran to the bathroom. Mrs. Kaave screamed after him. "Stop right there or I'll shoot! This is no toy gun. It's a fucking micro uzi!"The head security ignored Mrs. Kaave's warnings and barged inside the bathroom. He was embarrassed. How dirty minded he was, to think.. He quickly pulled both out of the jacuzzi trying to render first aid treatment. Mrs. Kaave entered the bathroom and thundered. "I see you have chosen your destiny today, to die by my hand." The bitterness in her tone was deadly. "So be it." Mrs. Kaave pulled the triggers. There was no sound. Nothing came out. There were no bullets in the gun. Mrs. Kaave kept pulling the trigger again, and again, and again, in anger and frustration.Mrs. Kaave tried to run but the head security was faster. He held her down and spoke. "What? Who do you think you are, Angelina Jolie? You think you're smart? That we'd lock you in a room without proper search, we'd leave a micro uzi fully loaded in your wardrobe?" The head security was furious. "The only mistake we did was not letting the others know the gun was bullet empty. And maybe we would have chained you to a seat. Pray that nothing happens to those two, you'd be sorry."The head security dragged Mrs. Kaave out of the bedroom raising alarm. While the other bodyguards rushed to attend to Brandy and one of their own. The head security chained Mrs. Kaave to a seat in the living room.CHAPTER NINE. Coco Kaave sat beside Brandy's hospital bed. She was beyond furious. Her cheeks burned red. She watched Brandy, as she laid there on the hospital bed. Sleeping. She responded well to treatment over the days. The doctor had promised to discharge her tonight. However, Chief Kaave's boy responded faster, and was already discharged."You have a call." Jeremy said and handed the phone to Coco. "I don't want to answer any call." She returned the phone to Jeremy and continued staring at Brandy.Brandy had been her only friend since childhood. The only human that understood her and everything she wanted in life. The only human that would do any and everything for her. What if she lost her? Coco's mind was filled with so many thoughts on how best to punish her mom. Brandy tossed about the bed and sat up. She exchanged a knowing glance with Coco. They were both happy to see each other, again. Coco smiled up at her, "Bitch!" She excitedly hugged Brandy for long. "I told ya! Y
CHAPTER TEN."Won't you let me in?" Coco asked, mischievously. "Hi. Coco, right? Come in." Detective Flynn said. There was slight suspicion in his tone. He offered Coco a seat in his living room and closed his door. "Brandy or champagne?" "Hennessy." Coco replied brightly. "It's finished. What else would you go for?""What's on your menue?" "Coke." They both laughed at that."Don't worry. I'm fine. Had a few drinks before coming over." Coco said. Her eyes studying Detective Flynn's living room. He pretended not to notice and sat opposite Coco. "So Coco, what brings you to my apartment?" Detective Flynn questioned."I heard you're the new neighbor on the block. I came to congratulate you. Welcome to the neighborhood." Coco replied."That's so thoughtful of you. Thank you. The neighborhood is lively I must say." Detective Flynn reached his wine bar, brought out a bottle of champagne and emptied in two cups. He handed the other cup to Coco, while he sat and sipped from his cup. "
CHAPTER ELEVEN.Coco's face darkened. Her eyes were full of wonder as she stared at Mrs. Kaave. She remembered how she had planned with Donda to set Mrs. Kaave up and throw her in prison. There was long silence before Mrs. Kaave raised her head and looked at Coco and said , "You heard the board members and Chief's lawyer. Prior to his arrest, Chief made me the managing director of the empire. You were relieved of your duties. Therefore, your presence in this empire is illegal." "I still own twenty percent of the shares in this empire, you own only five percent. I still have a place here." Coco snapped at Mrs. Kaave.Mrs. Kaave shook her head. "No. I now own eighty percent of the shares. Chief gave me all seventy of his, Mr. Ken sold his five percent to me, plus my five percent, equal to eighty." When Coco heard that, chills started to chase across her skin. Lies! Fucking lies! Her dad would never do that. She knew the things her dad was capable of doing, and this, was not part of
CHAPTER TWELVE.Carey was watching a reality show on TV, in the large living room when her father walked in. Brandy was busy on her MacBook, on a video call with Coco Kaave. Mr. Peter stood still on his arrival, he calmly closed the door and fixed his eyes on Brandy. He carefully used his eyes to scan Brandy from hair to toe. She didn't look bad. She looked just fine. "Welcome dad." Carey said without removing her eyes from the television. "Hi. Hope you had a good day?" Mr. Peter wasn't sure how to feel or react. Brandy, the black sheep that always put dirt on the family name was back in the house."Hi dad. Welcome back." Brandy smiled at her father and stood to welcome him. Neither her or Coco Kaave ended the video call. Pearl didn't even let Mr. Peter respond to Brandy's greetings before she stormed into the living room. "Dad, tell her she can't stay here. She needs to leave." Bitterness was all over Pearl's face."Pearl, calm down. She's still your sister." Mr. Peter firmly sa
CHAPTER THIRTEEN."If you didn't kill him then who did?!" Detective Flynn hit his fingers across the table in anger. The blond teenager was trembling in fear. "Sir I swear to you on my life I did not kill anyone. I was only with him at the hotel, because last night, he invited me to come spend a night with him." Georgiana managed to say, in a regretful tone. Georgiana, a fresher at South College, was arrested mid night for the murder of Justice William; the Chief Justice handling Coco Kaave's case. Georgiana buried her mind and thoughts in regrets as she sat in the interrogating room. She had been there since mid night, questioned and tortured by the FBI. She wished she stayed home last night in her hostel. But what choice did she have? Justice William offered to pay her five hundred dollars for the night. Five hundred dollars was a lot of money to her. It could pay for her dying mother's surgery at the hospital. She tried to justify her actions."You're a sex worker?" Detective
CHAPTER FOURTEEN.Ding!The message alert sounded.(Call me ASAP.)Detective Flynn rubbed his dizzy eyes, and read the message. He had dozed off in his car after eating his pepperoni pizza. He read the message again, sighed and focused his eyes in front of Mr. Peter's house. After what seemed like forever, Carey finally stepped out of the house, in blue tight jeans and crop top. From the way she locked the door, Detective Flynn knew she was hastening. Detective Flynn drove up the street slowly, following each direction Carey took. He finally stopped and parked in front of a grocery store Carey entered. He came down and leaned on his car, holding a bottle of water in his right hands, he played with, to kill time. Carey didn't spend time in the grocery store. She came out almost immediately, with a deep frown on her face. "Carey!" Detective Flynn called out and waved. "Hi.." He wore his best smile. Carey reluctantly walked to Detective Flynn, "Hi..Flynn, right?" She managed a smile
CHAPTER FIFTEEN. "Delma!" Inna called out in fear and raced to Chief Onapuruagu's living room. Inna stared hard at Delma for a moment, before she spoke. Delma was perfectly fine. Nothing seemed wrong with her. She didn't look hurt. She rather looked happy."Delma, why did you scream like that? You gave me serious fright, I thought something bad was happening to you." Inna said.Delma laughed, "The only person something bad is happening to right now is your Coco. I just got off the phone with Chief Onapuruagu, and he instructed that no one should let Coco inside this house, incase she comes around. Same thing with his office." Delma continued laughing. "I'm so enjoying this moment.""Enjoy while you can, it won't last. And Chief Onapuruagu reacting like this only proves that he truly really loves Coco. He's hurt by her actions, and all these is obviously coming from a place of genuine love." Inna argued."Stop trying to console yourself with those words. Chief Onapuruagu is done with
CHAPTER SIXTEEN."You're right. It is indeed a treasure." Chief Kaave's voice echoed in the room. Both Coco and Pearl screamed in fear, clinging to each other. Pearl had already pooped in her pants. "Dad..is that you dad?" Coco asked, searching the room to see if at all her dad or anyone was there. She called out again, "Dad!" "You don't have to steal the lighter. It's yours." Chief Kaave's voice came again. "You also didn't need to steal the keys to this building. I was fixing the place for you, to spend this year's Halloween, with your friends." "Come out dad. Stop playing with me." Coco's voice suddenly became confident."Make sure you're back to school by tomorrow." Those were the last words Chief Kaave said, and the teenage girls didn't hear from him again. Pearl spent the whole of that night in fear. With the mindset that they were being monitored in the house, the two girls were on their best behavior that night. Early Monday morning, they returned back to school. No one, e
CHAPTER FORTY TWO. Jeremy raced to stop Coco from entering her Ferrari. He gently pulled her left hand. "Jeremy." Coco gave him a questioning look."I have new information." Jeremy explained. "Detective Flynn is not part of it." "How reliable is this source?" Coco asked with interest."Hundred percentage." Jeremy replied. "So he's off the list?" "Yes." "If I find out otherwise, you'll be joining the list." Coco threatened.Jeremy confidently nodded. "Yes ma'am." Coco entered her Ferrari and drove out in high speed. ***Coco entered the dark building. She turned on the lights, staring at Sir Edwin and Detective Lauren, both tied into a chair."Holla." Coco smiled mischievously.Detective Lauren struggled. "You will regret this." "Definitely." Coco agreed. "In my next world though, not this one." "Why?" Detective Lauren asked."It's not my fault you two lived your lives trespassing my territory however you liked and thinking you were untouchable." Coco said."Let us go." Sir Ed
CHAPTER FORTY ONE. "Well?" Detective Lauren demanded. "How did it go?""She is bent on giving me nothing." Georgiana said bitterly. "I'm I wrong to ask for what's rightly mine?" "No you're not." Detective Lauren answered."She was really angry. I think I'll just let it go and turn a blind eye to her greed, for now. I'll wait to see her excuse after my convocation." Georgiana said, sipping her drink. "Just like that?" Detective Lauren sounded disappointed. "Give it one last fight, I'm with you in this." Georgiana shaked her head. "No. I don't want Coco's trouble.""So you'll let her have everything, you'll become the loser?" Detective Lauren taunted. "Aren't you even Chief Kaave's first child?" "Coco is the legitimate one!" Georgiana fired. "The acknowledged one. The only one he knew, the only child of Chief Kaave that Dirty South and the world knows. What would you have me do?" "Fight!" Detective Lauren fired back. "Quit being a coward." "I am not." Georgiana said. "All I nee
CHAPTER FORTY."Don't be stupid." Delma scolded. "I thought you were smart, what kind of fool are you trying to be?" "A fool that wants a better life for herself and her son." Barbia responded."And I've given you a better life." "I want more." "That greed will send you to your early grave, that greed will render your son miserable for the rest of his life, because I won't pause my life and try to fit into motherhood for his sake." Barbia burned. "Nothing will happen to my son." "Stay away from Chief Onapuruagu and his family." Delma warned. "I know these people." "I should stay away from him so you can have him all to yourself, wait, you think I don't know you have eyes for him as well?" "Barbia.." Barbia cut off Delma. "Please, I am not scared of the outcome, no danger will meet us." "I won't be here and wait for it to come meet me." Delma turned, heading to the door. "In other words?" Barbia leaned forward, turning her face to the back to stare at Delma."I'm leaving Dir
CHAPTER THIRTY NINE. Coco fell asleep listening to music with her ear pods, in one Chief Onapuruagu's guest rooms. Chief Onapuruagu stepped into the room, he stared at the beautiful Coco Kaave of his heart for long before he went to sit beside her, using his hands to draw lines on her face. She lazily opened her eyes when he removed the ear pods."I'm sorry." Chief Onapuruagu planted kisses on her cheeks."For?" Coco asked.Chief Onapuruagu laughed. "I don't even know, but I'm sorry for everything. For any reason making you act this way."Coco stared deep into Chief Onapuruagu's eyes."Please could you be here with me forever?" Chief Onapuruagu pulled Coco into his arms. "Waking up alone isn't better.""I missed you." Coco hugged Chief Onapuruagu, tightly, passionately. Chief Onapuruagu's handsome face smiled deeply. "I love you." Ding Dong! A text message entered Chief Onapuruagu's private phone. He looked at the screen, it read:[Come to the hotel room where you lodged me last
CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT. Detective Flynn paced round the staircase leading to Sir Edwin's office. He kept staring towards Sir Edwin's office impatiently. "Flynn?" Detective Lauren tapped him from behind."What?" Detective Flynn turned, looking at Detective Lauren irritatedly. "What?" "What are you restless about?" Detective Lauren questioned."I'm losing patience." Detective Flynn fixed his eyes back towards Sir Edwin's office.Detective Lauren smiled casually. "Don't waste your time or get your hopes up. That couple aren't going to jail, of course they've bribed their way through, again." "What do you mean?" Detective Flynn turned to face Lauren fully. "Doctor Mira has been released along side the fake Chief Kaave." Detective Lauren replied. "And neither Chief Onapuruagu or his wife is going to jail." Detective Flynn burned. He stood on the staircase, staring at Detective Lauren speechlessly. "This battle is bigger than Sir Edwin, so don't blame him. He's working under orders fr
CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN."I'm proud of you." Brandy said, entering her kitchen. She leaned on the wall looking at Pearl, Pearl was busy washing dishes."Hey." Pearl said, turning to face Brandy. "Proud of what?" "Proud of what you did for Coco." Brandy moved to the refrigerator, opened it, brought out yoghurt, sipping to her satisfaction."I didn't do anything special." Pearl said. "Sincerely I wish there's a better way I could have apologized to Coco for everything that happened in the past."Brandy reached for the bread on the table and fed on. "This one you did is everything to Coco. The best thing you can do for Coco is being a loyal one. So that act of loyalty, makes up for everything you did wrong." Pearl turned to face the sink, rinsing the dishes. "Coco has so many enemies, sometimes I get scared of being close to her.""Why?" Brandy asked."I get scared I might be harmed by her enemies." Pearl said. "If they come for her and don't get her, they might come for me inside." "Na
CHAPTER THIRTY SIX.Coco sat in Chief Onapuruagu's garden, going through a letter served by the Supreme Court. Delma stood at Coco's back, like one waiting to receive orders. "When did this letter arrive?" Coco asked. "This morning ma'am." Delma quickly answered. "I see." Coco dropped the letter on the table. "Call Jeremy and tell him to come over." "Coco!" Georgiana screamed out in excitement as she ran and hugged Coco. Coco smiled in surprise. "Ana..hi. Please sit." She turned to look at Delma. "Get her something to eat." "I'm not hungry," Georgiana said, sitting down. "I ate at the school cafeteria." "Oh, okay. How have you been, how's school?" Coco studied the expressions on Georgiana's face. "This is your graduate year, right?" "Yes." Georgiana nodded. "School is fine, life's great. I'm having the best time of my life." "Really?" "Yes." Georgiana replied excitedly. "But, I need a favor from you." "Let me hear it." Coco said, sitting upright. "My birthday is in two da
CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE. Delma dragged Pearl to her car. The moment they were both seated, Delma gave Pearl a disapproving look."Why did you show up in my office?" Delma's voice was sharp and pissed. "Do you want to get me in trouble?""We have unfinished business." Pearl replied. "Have you forgotten? You promised to help me get rid of Coco."Delma didn't hide her surprise. "It's been proven she didn't kill your mother, what else do you want?" "I want to see her miserable, dead if possible." Pearl said without blinking an eye."Why?" Delma asked."Because I don't like her. She's too proud and full of herself. Always trying to show off." "So in the first place, you were holding unto your mother's death as an excuse to to unleash your hatred and viciousness on her?" Pearl nodded. "I know you want her out of the way too, we have the same interest, don't we?" It was Delma's turn to nod. "Yes." "See?" Pearl smiled. "Considering the fact she gifted you a car, it's safe to say she has t
CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR."This girl loves me too much, she can't live without me." Chief Onapuruagu bragged, startling Coco from behind."Fred!" Coco jumped on Chief Onapuruagu in excitement, hugging him passionately. "What happened? I thought you were inside." "Relax." Chief Onapuruagu planted kisses on Coco's forehead. "Let's go, I'll explain everything in the car." The moment they were in the car, Coco turned to face Chief Onapuruagu fully, questioning him. "What happened? You gave me heart attack!" Chief Onapuruagu wiped the tears that rolled down Coco's cheeks. "I set the house on fire." "Why?" Coco's facial expression was filled with confusion. "Who was inside?" "A lot of boys that I suspect work for Wave. I don't think Wave was there." Chief Onapuruagu said, removing his jacket stained with fire ash. "Why did you burn down the house?" Coco asked."Those boys all had their guns drawn at me and you. I just had to do something to save us." "By burning down a building you were
