Everyone had left the hotel immediately after the police left. No one wanted to be around in case they came back. The girls stood at the end of the street and waited until Margret called Efe and got his response.
"So what now?" June asked.
"We wait until he comes," Veronica replied.
"What? Raymond is dead. I could die anytime soon and you want me to wait until he comes?" Joana fumed.
"Your friend is in prison Joana!" Veronica shouted. "Have some fucking sympathy!"
"So it means you can't think of any plan except Grace is involved? Some detective you are." Joana scoffed.
"Why did you take so much time coming back to the room?" Margret said.
"What?" Veronica asked.
"After separating from Joana, I called and you said you were on your way but it took you about fifteen minutes before you came. Where were you?"
"I--" Veronica said then s

John laid on his bed with his phone in his hand as he listened to afro-pop music blasting loudly from the speakers of his earphone directly to his eardrum. He used this to pass time as he waited for Joanna, he also used it as a means to keep his mind from overthinking whatever happened at the party. He still couldn't make sense of what he saw. Raymond was dead, Grace was arrested for his murder and it seemed like Joanna and her friends knew more to it than they were letting anyone in on.As usual, Joanna was going to sneak into his room from his window to prevent his parents from finding out. John had left if slightly open for Joana who got without any difficulty. More than anything, John hoped for some explanation as soon as she came in. He sprang to him immediately he noticed her presence."Hey Jo we need to talk--"Joana jumped on him, taking him by surprise with a deep kiss on the lips which propelled them back to the bed.

Grace didn't sleep during the night, she couldn't. All she did was reflect on her past decisions. Of all her friends, she was the one who people referred to as the bad egg. Parents in their neighborhood were always making her out as a bad example to their children and anytime she and her friends got in trouble for anything, it was a result of her actions and behavior. But she was okay with it then. She would tell herself it was everyone else's fault. It was everyone else's fault that her parents died. She came to realize that night that she acted as a bad child so people would notice her so that people would give her attention so that she wouldn't feel alone. But she never felt more alone than she felt that night.Morning soon came and Grace started dozing off. With each nod came a silent whisper that jolted her back up.Murderer!It wasn't enough to stop her from snoozing until the noisy sound of Patricia's baton clanging against her cell finally ended her slum

"Margret, what are you doing here?"The three girls jumped to their feet immediately. Margret couldn't answer. What was I doing here? What was she doing here? June was almost eaten up by her fear. She held Joana's hands tightly as they both gazed at Maryam."I-eh." Margret stammered."You told me this morning that you were heading to June's house to meet up with your friends," Maryam said. "Why are you in a police station?"Maryam could tell when Margret's eyes shifted from hers to gaze on something else. She spun around to see Grace and the adults in a heated fuss. Everyone else in the station was watching too from a distance."What is going on?" Maryam asked in utter confusion."It's nothing mom.""That doesn't sound like nothing, and you lied to me so you could come here... Something is going on and if you don't tell me right now, I'll go find out myself."Maryam's words sent their heart racing fast. Telling her about Raymon

"Gentlemen please, let's be civilized here. This is not a market place." Inspector Jerome said with an effort to control the uproar between Efe and the Onwukas."Mr man you better sit back and do your job." Mr. Onwuka snapped back at Inspector Jerome. "This girl must not leave here today, she must rot in jail.""I'm sorry but that won't be happening." Veronica chimed in, announcing her presence. Grace's eyes widened in disbelief as soon as she heard her voice. Seeing Veronica's face overwhelmed her with a sense of uncertainty about what could happen next. Everyone including June and Joana was clueless about what was going on."Who is this?" Jerome asked. "And I thought I told you, girls, to wait over there?""Who I am is not of importance right now," Veronica replied. "What is important right now is that this girl right here is innocent and you are going to receive a call any moment from now telling you why you should release her.""What?" Jerome s

"So can someone please tell me what the hell is going on?" Efe queried as he stood in the middle of the living room. June, Grace, and Joana took their sitting positions on the only sofa in the room while Veronica sat on a wooden chair close to them."Guys, I think we have to tell him," Grace said as she looked at her friends. They didn't like the idea."Are you sure?" June asked."There's no point in keeping it from him now," Grace replied, glancing over to Veronica for support.Veronica shrugged."Well..." Efe said with gesturing with his hands to indicate his impatience.Grace sighed.

"We're leaving tonight."Grace sprang up to her feet"What? No! To where?""To my place at Ikeja," Efe answered. "My roommate has been out of town for like a week now but that's not an issue, I'll just call and let him know you would be staying with us.""No!" Grace objected. " I don't want to leave. Why are we leaving?""Are you too blind to see all that is going on?" Efe queried. "Do you still see this as a game after all that has happened? You must be delusional and I'll be damned if I let you get killed or go to prison."Grace turned to her friends for support they all kept quiet. It wasn't their place to say anything. Grace had to speak up for herself."But what about school?""Aren't you done with your WAEC exams already? You girls just go there to play.""But graduation is coming up very soon.""And so what? Are you willing to risk your life for just one day? Come on Grace, be sensible!""B-but
Homicide Squad An unexpected visit.
Grace said goodbyes to her friends on the agreement that she would investigate Veronica and comeback immediately she is done before getting on the road with Efe. Life in the city was a bit different from town to Grace in terms of how lively everywhere was even late in the night, unlike her town where everyone would have closed their doors shut at 10 pm.They got to Efe's place at Ikeja at exactly 11 pm. The first thing Grace did was to evaluate the place. It was a single room flat, one that Efe had to settle for before because Grace didn't want to leave Ketu but had to get a roommate when he realized his salary couldn't keep up with his expenses too well. The living room had a small flat-screen TV, a music player, and a set of speakers. The furniture all around looked decent too. The only problem Grace had was that the place was a bit tinier than usual."This place looks nice, you would know that bachelor lives here at first sight," Grace said with a smile.

After Grace took a shower, she put on a pair of blue jean trousers and a yellow top before coming out to see Efe and Rose laughing as they cross-checked notes together."Great, you're out," Efe said raising his head as soon as she stepped into the living room. "Hey, that's mine!" He barked pointing at the shirt."Well I like it and I wore it so now it's mine." Grace retorted.Rose couldn't help herself but laugh at the victimized expression Efe wore on his face."What are we eating this morning?" Grace asked."What is in the kitchen?""Noodles?" Grace exclaimed. "What is wrong with you people, isn't there something decent to eat around here?""We don't buy foodstuffs to keep for later because of work." Efe said to appeal to Rose and Grace's disappointed faces. It didn't help change anything."Come on, " He said to Rose "you should be on my side here, we both work in the same place.""That's not an excuse for eating

Homicide Squad Graduation
A week has passed since Hakim's and the day every senior student at Ketu High finally came. Graduation. The four girls stayed in June's house that morning to do each other make-up and hair to look absolutely stunning for the event. Grace stared deeply at the small dressing mirror she sat in front of while June brushed her hair.Everything wasn't quite back to normal yet. They were still the talk of everyone in the town as well as in their school but they were not going to let it bring them down as they looked to put the event behind them and make the most out of the day."How is it?" June asked, admiring her masterpiece."I look like Barbie princess," Grace replied with a little sarcasm in her tone."You look beautiful, you mean." Joana said as she gazed at Grace, monetarily taking her eyes from Margret who she was helping with her make-up."Let me say what I want to say," She retorted then took a moment to look at herself again.

Homicide Squad Cover-up
The atmosphere outside was gloomy in the aftermath of Hakim's death despite the huge relief everyone had that the girls were still alive. Two ambulances had arrived minutes later in addition to the five police cars already on the scene. They all went to work immediately, gathering pieces of evidence and tying up loose ends as Hakim's body was taken out on a stretcher. Joana and Margret were by the other ambulance, receiving medical treatment. Grace and Veronica sat by the stairs leading to the front door of the house as Officer James interrogated them."So let me this straight," He said. "Hakim was behind all of this? He was the killer?""Yes." Grace answered as she and Veronica stared at each other. Veronica tried nibbling at her fingers to keep her composure but it wasn't working, her knees were shaking badly and Grace could feel it."Is that true, Veronica?" James asked.Grace's eyes were sharply fixed on hers without blinking, warning and pleadi

"Let her go or I'll shoot!" Hakim yelled."She's killing Grace shoot her!" Joana yelled."Stop it Uncle Kim," Cassandra said with her hand still pressing down Grace's neck. "We both know you won't shoot.""Please, I don't want to hurt you." Hakim said in tears. "Veronica, please."Suddenly, it seemed like Cassandra's mood changed, but Veronica was now awake."Kill me, please, I'm begging you.""You heard her, shoot.""No, d-don't." Grace said even as she choked. "We can help her... Put the gun down."Hakim slowly lowered his arm as he with Margret and Joana watched in anticipation of what Grace meant."V-Veron-ica... li-sten to me..." Grace said. "She's got nothing on you, it's your b-body... You can take back control.""I-I can't." Veronica replied in tears. Her hands were still strangling Grace, she couldn't stop herself. "She's stronger than me.""That's a lie and you know it... You're one of the stronge

Joana said what she said so that Cassandra would be unsettled and it worked. As Cassandra looked down at the road from the upstairs window, she began wondering if she had underestimated Grace. If she did, then everything may not go smoothly as she wanted it to go."She is spineless, they all are!" She reassured herself and placed her focus back on the road. Grace would be there any minute.Soon enough, Grace appeared and was standing in front of the building. She brought out her phone and dialed Cassandra."I'm outside now.""Yeah, I see you. Come inside.""No, how do I know that my friends are inside? How do I know you won't kill me the moment I step in?""Well you will just have to step in and find out, won't you?" Cassandra replied but Grace didn't seem to budge. "Tick tock Grace..." She said finally before Grace tools a deep breath and step came in."I'm inside now." She said."Keep going further, enter the room at the end
Homicide Squad Grace's Stubbornness
Due to what Officer James had told about the police car, Grace decided to alight earlier at a bus stop outside of the town while she sneaked back in on foot. It was much easier than she had thought as the two policemen had no idea what she was wearing and were busy waiting for a girl to step down from a bus whereas all she did was walk right past them. Standing from a distance, she watched as the two policemen searched the bus in confusion when they couldn't find any girl that matched the description that Officer James had given. It took a while and after they realized that they couldn't find Grace, they got back into their car and drove off.As she walked on, she tried to access the situation at hand. The first part done, she had evaded the police. The next thing now was how to stop Cassandra. Grace knew that meeting Cassandra without a plan was basically handing herself out on a silver platter. She also knew that going alone won't be to her advantage. She needed help,

Chapter 45 ~"So this is the place?" Margret said feeling a bit skeptical as she looked at the house Cassandra had brought her to. The whole environment looked so quiet and calm with a few uncompleted buildings around it. The house itself was a story building without any painting done on the exterior."I don't think I have ever been to this part of town before... I don't think people even live around here." She said looking around."Look, would you prefer we go to a place where we would easily be found?" Cassandra said with a glare."I'm just saying, this place is more or less like a construction site." Margret replied shaking off the red sand that got on her boots."That's what makes it even better, now can we go in or not?"Still feeling a bit reluctant, Margret decided to ask her a question that had been lingering on her mind since she came over."Why did you lie to us about your surname?""What?""We know that your n
Homicide Squad Grace has a plan.
Hakim Bello was still in the kitchen fixing the pipes when the police came to the house."Who's there?" He yelled, responding to the banging on the door."It's the police, please open the door."'The police? Why were they here?' He pondered as he walked to do the door."May I help you?" He said with a frown that formed lines on his thick forehead."We are looking for a Veronica Bello." The policeman answered. "Is she inside?""No, she hasn't been home since morning." Hakeem lied before realizing that he didn't even know why they were after her. "But why are you looking for her? Is she in any trouble?""Yes, who is she to you?" The other policeman spoke."She is my niece." Mr. Bello answered. "Now I ask again, is she in any trouble?""Not particularly sir, but we have reason to believe that a killer is targeting her and friends and we want to bring them in.""What the hell!" Hakeem explained. "Why should I believe
Homicide Squad Time's running out!
Wasting no more time, Officer James quickly dispatched as many other officers available to go search for Margret and Veronica. June had told him earlier that she had warned Margret before turning herself in and he was not likely to find her at her house. Still, James decided to head there first not just because it was the best place to look and trace Margret, but because he wanted to be the one to break the news of what was going on gently to her mother.He went with his partner, Officer Ade who was reading James the entire time they drove to the house."You don't know what you're going to say, do you?" Ade asked just as James was about to knock on the door. James held his hand back immediately Ade spoke, his only response being an awkward silence which seemed to put a naughty smile on Ade's face."You're crushing on the woman! Oh, I must see who she is today--"Embarrassed by his partner's words, James spoke back in a harsh whisper."Stop it! I am

"Veronica, wake up."Veronica opened her eyes slowly to see Hakim Bello's face staring down at her."Uncle Kim," Veronica said getting up, making Hakim move backward."Why aren't you in school?"Veronica placed the back of her hand in front of her mouth in an effort to cover it as she yawned. In no time she realized she was in the living room. But how did she get there? She had no idea. It was like there were blank gaps in her memory. Veronica had been experiencing it ever since she came to Ketu town, blacking out and waking up moments later with no idea of what she was doing before. But it was beginning to happen more frequently and also seemed like she was blacking out for longer hours."Eh, I'm tired I guess." She said as she stood up."Okay, but this is surprising... You have never slept on the couch before and you are mostly locked up in your room. Now you are here, napping on the couch and leaving your shoes on."Veronica looked
