It took over an hour drive for Nena and Lucile to arrive at the Johnson’s home. Lucile’s parents were already there awaiting their arrival for a minute now.
They reached the compound and Nena parked her vehicle at their garage. Lucile was the first person that elated the vehicle and Nena followed suite a minute later. Both their faces were pale, obviously from the confession that Lucile had just shared earlier while In the car. Nena was filled with rage.
The realisation that she had just convicted the wrong person of a heinous crime and sent him away for a very long time didn’t sit right with her at all. It didn’t feel like a win to her anymore. It didn’t feel like justice.
She had convicted many of several crimes before but had never bothered to ask for the true story. Her work ethics didn’t permit her to inquire for the truth but rather for only evidences that will help her win the case and convict the felon of the indicted
Back in the streets of Lagos, the night had been racing against the fleet of vehicles that had fled Nadia’s compound and stormed out into the road.Nadia’s SUV was far ahead drifting across corners to bypass the Lagos traffic and escape the threat on her life.The gunmen’s cars followed suit behind, in hot pursuit.Nadia’s car had been accelerating it’s velocity steadily and she now feared for her life. She held her precious little daughter, Victoria tightly and kept looking backwards through the window to know if the gunmen were anywhere In sight and about to catch up with them.“who the hell are those guys anyway” she asked dreadfully, now looking forward at mike and sonny who were both seated in front.“who do you think” Big Mike replied “maestro’s gang of course”“I knew they were. I just wanted to be sure so i’ll decide what my next course of actio
Down at the district police station where Nadia Madinni had been apprehended and was now being held, the police were judicious about their normal activities and had not yet been able to begin her questioning yet. They just detained her in the interrogation room in the hopes that she would get anxious till her brain blows out but to their disappointment, she didn’t.As a matter of fact, the reverse was the case here. the police detective who had captured her stepped into the room and found her staring sternly at the wall in front of her while placing her cuffed hands on the table.The detective stared at her curiously, Nadia was silent as he expected but she looked rather too composed for a felon. Anyways, that was not his business, his only job here was to carry out a very judicious interrogation in finding out what really went down back there in the streets.The detective was a tall man with dark skin and bald head. he was lanky and had a funn
Nena was still confused as to why everyone at the dining table was just eating and no one was talking yet. She looked at Mr and Mrs Johnson and neither of them seemed to be ready to talk or give an explanation as they promised. She wasn’t at this table to share a meal with them. As a matter of fact, she had now detested them and wanted nothing to do with them, at least for a little while so they can truly understand how annoyed she really felt about their prejudicial conviction of the young lad B.J.“ I really didn’t come to this dining set to share a meal with you guys” Nena began “ someone better start talking. Give me your own side of the story else I’ve have no other option than to be left with the impression that you all are very terrible people”“you mean to say you don’t have that impression already?” Mr Johnson asked, dropping down his fork on his plate and finally raising up his head&nbs
Nena boarded on the flight the next morning headed to Lagos. She was in a hurry after she had learned the full details of the new development on the maestro case through a phone call she made the previous night with Jasper.She knew there was much work to do and she had to be present in the interrogation of their newly apprehended suspect Nadia Madinni. Nadia had come up several times in their investigation for the kingpin case but like maestro, they had very little to convict her with.Nena sat silently on the plane, wondering what the turn out of their interrogation with the suspect would look like. After close to eight months working on the case, something finally turns up. She wondered if indeed this should be regarded as good news.Soon after her plane landed, she departed and headed straight down to the district police station where Nadia was being detained for questioning.She walked into the building, storming in with much haste and headed s
Walking towards the desk where Madinni sat quietly in the interrogation room, Nena droppedthe briefcase she had in her hands and started off by saying pleasantries "Nadia Madinni, it's an honour to finally meet you. I've heard so much about you"Nadia stared at her with a pale look of disgust and gave a quick reply "It's a shame I can't say thesame for you miss .... whoever the hell you are"."I am Barrister Nena Daniels from the district attorneys office. ""And what does a barrister want with me now. I'm sorry rain ln your parade but I do have a lawyer of my own and like I told your people, I won't be saying a word more until I am allowed to meet with him".Nena chuckled "oh you think I'm here to represent you. I'm flattered by the assumption but on the contrary. I am a criminal proscutor working with the NDLEA on a task force set aside a few months ago by the federal government. I am actually here to ask you a few questions"
Seated on a chair back down his underground business lair, maestro watched little victoria with close attention. Of course, He had his mask on as usual but little victoria was looking rather too unbothered by it .'she must have gotten used to me by now' maestro thought to himself quietly whilst still gazing Down upon her.Zeke had just entered the room along with two other soldiers who had just returned from the hit earlier that night.Even though maestro had his mask on, it was still very evident that behind that mask, a very angry face.It appeared that he was disappointed that he wasn't able to kill Nadia tonight when he had the chance he had long been hoping for.He sat backwards on his chair behind his work desk, still fixing his eye balls sternly and deeply at the little Madinni who sat quietly across the table with her hands zipcuffed together by a zip knot. He obviously was wondering what to do with her this time around.
Now alone in the room, Zeke walks in closer to the desk, and finally reaches, taking a seat on the chair he had just raised victoria up from before handing her over to the gang."So boss" he began to address maestro, his boss "what now? What's our next plan of action to eliminate Madinni"."Eliminate?!" Maestro asked "can't you see now that the game has changed, the tides of the situation are no longer thesame as when we planned all this out. An unprecedented situation interfered and now stands, threatining to put a flaw to our original plan of action. The cops interference that quickly was not anticipated. They picked up Madinni and now it seems like we have lost our chance"."No, it seems like you have lost your hope. It seems like like you have given up". Zeke suggested. "That's quite rather too quick to be calling it quits boss. That's even very unusual of you"."I don't remember asking your opinion" maestro quickly interjected, shutting Zeke up " and
And it took Nena almost an hour to return.She had wasted much time on purpose.she was trying to give Nadia a little time back in the interrogation room enough time to get her testimony down in the affidavit.She sat back down at her seat and exchanged a long glance with Nadia who was now folding both her arms together and had long been waiting for Nena to return.Nena had returned with a cup of coffee which she had equally started to sip from immediately she sat down at the desk."So what do you have for me" she asked Nadia."You can have it all in there" Nadia replied as she pointed her index finger out to the papers that were placed on the desk."So what now?" Nadia continued "you still don't have a facial recognition of who is behind the mask""No we don't" Nena replied " but you did write his name in there, didn't you?""No I did not" Nadia respondedNena stared at her in astonishment"Wha
