Rodney had been silent all this while watching the road and Jason alternatively. He was anxious because he knew that Nancy must be in grave danger but not wanting to antagonize Jason by asking any unwarranted questions.But after a while, he could not keep quiet any longer.'What car type are we looking for?' he asked.'I don't know '.'Please tell me, two pairs of eyes are most definitely better than a pair. I am as bothered as you about the plight of Nancy especially in her condition'.Jason had wanted to shout at him to stop pestering him but his words surprised him. First he spoke the truth about the pair of eyes but that was not f he knew what car to look for but he didn't and it was making him feel helpless and useless which are not the type of feelings he relished.Secondly, he was amazed that Alfred had noticed Nancy's pregnancy and had still gone out on a date with her. This could only mean that his feelings for her ran deep. Deeper than he had envisaged or was Nancy the one
'The question now is how do we get to London now? Is it possible to book a plane or what do you think?' Alfred asked thinking chaotically.'Except he was sure of the success of his operation, I do not think that he booked a return ticket. If I didn't know better, I'd think that someone close to me is helping him.Also, they couldn't have gone that far, he or the thug he hired may decide to stay somewhere, in a hotel or something and plan to leave the next day. How to find the hotel is what we have to determine'. Jason said, deep in thought.'I wanted to ask if there is a member of your family or circle of friends who does not approve of Nancy who could want to assist Rodney?''My sister likes Nancy but does not want me to get closer to her than necessary because if her pregnancy. She does not know who the father is but she is of the opinion that sooner or later, the father might just come to claim the baby abd if she and I are in any deep commitment, it might cause some problems, so s
Rodney drove into the house that he had prepared for an emergency occasion such as this one.Nancy was still struggling but feeling whimsy and trying not to throw up had taken its toil on her that as soon as he got her out of the car, and the cool night air touched her, she threw up. Heaving painfully.It weakened her. Rodney dragged her into the house. If she were asked to describe the way to this out of the way house, Nancy would not have been able to do that because she had not been concentrating on that. She had seen Jason's car behind them and had nursed the hope that he would catch up with them but Rodney had lost him and switched the cars and she had not seen Jason anymore. That was when she felt her hope dash I to tiny pieces.She would have attacked Rodney but someone had been in the car waiting for them as the switch was made and that was why it had been swift before Jason could get there and this person, who she supposed must be one of his goons had held a gun to her all th
Jason got home and his sister and husband were surprised to see him slump into a chair with despair written all over him. His niece and nephew had already been tucked into bed.Chris who knew where Jason had gone was sure something had gone wrong. He had expected him back sometime ago but thought that he must have taken Nancy somewhere after her date with that young man and that they had settled their differences and had decided to spend sometime together but seeing Jason in this mood, made him have a rethink.'What happened, Jason?' he asked.'What you predicted has finally happened. I have to pack a bag. I need to catch a flight early tomorrow morning'.'What ate you talking about? The business trip cannot be postponed for now?' his sister asked, thinking that the trip must be a business one.Only Chris looked at Jason and knew that this had to do with a woman and what other woman but the one who had stolen the heart of his brother in law.He did not blame him though. If he had not
Rodney had wanted to take Nancy straight to London to a private house he has which he believed that his wife knew nothing about but one of his goons, the one who had waited for him on the road to help in the switch advices him against it.'The way you said those men chased after you, I am sure they know you are responsible for this'.'How can they know? They didn't see my face!' he said harshly.'Well, since you have made a visit to them and indicated your interest in the lady and her baby, they would automatically think you responsible. They might not have evidence against you but they definitely will suspect you'. he insisted.'What exactly are you saying?''I am saying that you stay here a bit longer, say for a few days, let them get tired of searching for you or you go with the lady to London in a disguise. That way, they may be looking at you but won't recognize you'.'There is a problem with that. If they would patrol the airport looking for me, what if Nancy signals them and th
Jason called all the car rental companies around Lake District with the plate number of the abandoned car but it was not till the last one did he find the company that hired out the car to one Mr. Smith Stonewall.Jason knew that the name was fictitious. He went through his documents and files to see if he could get a picture of Richmond so as to show it to the man and find out if he was the one who rented the car. That would be a damning evidence against him.When he couldn't find any including newspaper clippings, he called the company again and asked for a description of the man Stonewall.The description the manager gave him was not of Richmond. Jason knew instantly that he must have sent someone so as to cover his tracks.He was determined to go there though and find out who it was by going through their documents and CCTV footage.But he wanted to go to the airport o see if he could find anything familiar.He stayed at the airport till both flight to London left.He went to the
While Jason was busy with the police and his own investigation, Alfred had gone to Rodney's office, asking to have a word with him concerning an important business venture that he wished to discuss with him. He brought out his phone as though just ending an important call but he just had a brain wave to record the conversation. The lawyer in him was already gathering evidence.'I am sorry but Mr. Richmond' is not around at the moment. He is supposed to have reported this morning but we have heard no word from him but we are sure that whatever has kept him must be very serious.We have other senior executives you could speak with?' The man addressing Alfred suggested.'No, I'd rather speak to Mr. Richmond' alone. The person who directed me said he was the one I should speak with but if he is not around, I could take my business proposition else where'.'Oh no, Mr. Simpson, you could wait for a bit,I am sure that he will soon be here'.'Very well!' Alfred said like some important busin
Nancy decided she had to do something if she were to save her sanity.She waited till Rodney had come back to stay with her. She waited for a long time. She normally would wish for him to be gone so that she could stay in peace but right now, she had to put her plans into action.She didn't think she could want so much for him to come back and discuss with her.Rodney had gone to see about getting fake passports for them having bought their disguises the previous evening. Or maybe he had sent his goons but he had asked her to pose for a passport photograph with the wig and contact lenses.With these, he had gone to the person who was preparing the fake transport for them Rodney would have soared himself the trouble by deciding to go through another means of transport than air but he was just too lazy to even consider those other means because to him, they would be too hectic and demeaning for someone like him.He was long in coming back home. When he did, he was surprised at the chan
