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
It had not been my intention to desert you. I loved you too, you know but I also knew that I would be putting my family on the line if they got wind of your pregnancy.They could pardon a father who became unfaithful but bringing an illegitimate child into the family would have been too much for them to accept or bear's he said.'Snd I had to be the one to suffer through it all? Do you know, how you even imagine what I had to go through when you left? None of your friends was willing to assist. It was almost as though you had asked them not to help me in any way. How is that love? You could at least have thought of your blood growing in my womb, Rodney. Why did you have to do what you did? And I who loved you do much. Even your wife could never love you as much as I did but I get it. Afterall she is the legal wife and had full rights over you whole I was the other woman. I might not even have minded if you had just been more understanding but you left because I meant nothing to you!'
Nancy's new attitude gave him hope. He asked his goons to go out and have fun before they they left the next day. He told them that their mission was already a success. He had switched off his phone, so that he would not be disturbed. He knew that his wife would have alot to say about that but he had already prepared his defence and in the case of his job, there were alot of capable hands to handle things till he got back.He planned on switching on his phone as soon as they were airborne.He would stay home with Nancy while the goons went out. Hopefully, they would get intimate and continue from where they had stopped.That evening, he asked his goons to go out.'Are you sure of that boss?''Yes!''What about the girl?''I shall be here with her'.'Why this sudden decision?''Are you questioning my decision? I want to stay alone with her this evening. So take the evening off and go anywhere you like and just have fun for tomorrow we leave for London'.'I'm sorry boss but do you think
Why was Maze coming back. He must have sensed that his boss would need him and so he had come back to his rescue.Or maybe he had not trusted her enough to leave his boss alone with her.Inside, Rodney was calling for her and she knew that any moment from then, he would want to come and find out what was delaying her in the restroom and the gate was locked and she did not have the key. She was so close to escaping and yet it was so impossible. She was frustrated.To crown it all, Maze was getting closer and closer to the gate.If she had stood a chance with Rodney alone, how could she hope to defeat the two of them and still make good her escape.She would just have to admit defeat and quickly go back inside and unlock the door before Rodney came to find out that he had been locked in.She was going to run back into the house when he heard Rodney call her name asking why she had locked him in.At that moment, Maze heard and came running. He opened the gate and left it open as he rushe
Nancy looked up and saw Maze.Maze, Maze, Maze! It was always this Maze guy, turning up where he was not needed.Rodney might not have found her where she had hidden among the bushes but it was Maze who had located her without her being the wiser and had tapped her shoulder and nodded and she had been so scared and surprised that she had screamed and run off into the road where she had luckily seen Jason driving.But he was here again to spoil everything.'And who are you?', Jason asked fearlessly, turning round to look at the man pointing a gun at him.'No sudden movements or I will also move my gun suddenly'.Jason would have whirled round and taken the goons gun from him and trained his own on the fool but he feared not for his life but for Nancy's.'Jason, no need playing smart. Turn round and drive off if you do not want your lover to come to any harm. Else this is the last the both of you will see each other!' Rodney threatened.'If you had your way, this is the last we would s
Jason did not want to start running with Nancy for two main reasons.The first was that she was pregnant and was already too stressed and secondly, the road was a straight road with no place to hide and the goons may shoot at them and it would be a straight one. He could not risk getting Nancy injured.'Why were the police taking so long?' Jason asked as he got the gun he had taken from Richmond ready if only to stall for more time.He gave it to Nancy and held on to his own which he had also remembered to take from Richmond. He quickly thought her how to use it the gun.Her hands were trembling violently. She had not used a gun before and did not know if she was ready to kill anyone even those deserving of it like Rodney and his goons.She made up her mind to use it if need be and not disappoint Jason. She felt that she would rather do it than get captured again by that lot because she knew that this time, her fate would not be admirable.The short-tempered Rodney was ready to ask
Josephine was already six and a big girl. She helped in taking care of her siblings.Yes, Nancy gave both to a set of twins. Both boys not long after Josephine came back home and they were three years old and terrorizes them in the house. Thank goodness for their elder sister who try to keep them in line.Nancy had thought that she would stay a bit longer before allowing herself to get pregnant again but since she and Jason could hardly keep their hands of each other, she soon found that she was pregnant again and had just given birth to a beautiful girl.'Get ready for another set of twins', Jason joked one day and Nancy threw a pillow playfully at him.'You think it is easy carrying them in the womb for nine months and then the ordeal at the hospital to get them out?'Jason hugged her lovingly. 'I know all that and I shall forever be indebted to you. I never thought I could be this happy. You have brought untold joy into my life and I can assure you that I am very grateful''You hav
Mattias took her to the new venue praying that he would still be in the men's trusted books.Like he had foretold, the security was tighter.But raising his hands and asking the ma'am to do the same, they were able to get within some inches of the place.'Comrades', Mattias calked cheerfully. 'I am the ma'am came back from prison where we had gone to see the boss and he had ordered that the little girl be sent back to her parents and that was why we came here to get her. I didn't know that she was to come with me, she was supposed to have stayed at home while I brought the girl to her but she has trust issues because she has not had dealings with us before. She does not know that there is loyalty amongst thieves'.But if that is the case why did you give us the prompt to vacate the place immediately?''The reason is because I was shocked that she had followed me to this place but she is our boss' wife afterall and it's her prerogative. If not for the fact that it will be somewhat risk
As soon as Mattias came out from the prison, Rodney's wife followed him. She was cunning and made sure he did not realise that he was followed.She followed him to a place where she was sure they were keeping Josephine.As soon as he entered, she sneeked in after him and then she saw the girl and those guarding her.'Mattias, who is this woman with you?'Mattias looked back only to find the boss' wife behind him. How had she followed him without him being aware of it? He felt that the boss was going to do away with him because considering what the woman had in mind for the little girl, the boss would never forgive him for such a skip and would haunt him down to the lowest of the underworld to get him and extract his pound of flesh from him.'Ma'am, what is the problem? If you needed something, you could have asked me for it and I would have supplied it''Mattias, who is she?''She is the boss' wife'.'Welcome ma'am, we didn't know that the boss would send you to such a place as this'.
Rodney, called Mattias and told him what he had decided.Mattias who had not felt very comfortable kidnapping a child was happy that his boss had reached such a noble decision as to give the child back to her parents.He wished though that he had made that decision before the deed was actually done. Taking the child back now was going to take all his wit's because he knew that there were searches everywhere for them. He had barely managed to take the girl out in the first place.'How does she look?' Rodney asked curious for the first time to know how Josephine looked.'I must say that she is going to be a most stunning woman. I pity the men. She will cause alot of heart break. She has dark hair and same colour of eyes as you. Now that I think of it, she looks so much like you'.Rodney smiled. It made him happy that his daughter looked more like him than her mother. It made him burst with male pride and made him more determined to do right by her.They were still talking when his wife
She could not believe what she was hearing and wondered what kind of fish brain the man she had married had.How could he allow someone to know the plan he was making even before he made it? What had given him such confidence ?She had known that Rodney was capable of doing what Nancy had said even without the threat he had made. He had alot of men of questionable behaviour which she was only starting to know since the court case, who were working for him. He could easily ask one of them to do his dirty jobs while he pretended in oven e in prison.'If what you have said is true, then the best place for you to have gone is the Prison. Go there and speak to him. Most probable, your tears would do what nothing else can do. I am a woman and I believe that he is still fascinated with you no matter how he tries to pretend that that isn't so'.'God forbid it!' Nancy said before she realised herself. 'I am really sorry. I forgot myself for a moment'.'For what? You just expressed your emotion
Nancy had been hiding her panic and impatience except for her occasional request to be told of the progress of the search that had been organized for her child.She could bear no more. It was close to a week now since Josephine was abducted. She feared to consider what may have been done to her or what miserable condition she had been kept.She had consoled herself with the belief that her biological father must have given instructions that no one should harm his child but she had no real faith in that assumption.The man was a beast and would not mind doing away with anyone or anything that stood in the way of what he wanted even if that person was his own child.Afterall, he had not wanted this particular child and had gone out of his way to terminate her life, what guarantee did she have that her suffering would touch him on any way?She had not been able to sleep well at night and that she managed to eat was because of the life growing in her She did not want to punish it for the
Jason walked home dejected He knew that he had no evidence that Richmond was behind his daughter's abduction but he knew that he was the brain behind it all. He masterminded the whole operation. All his threat had gone unheeded. He had not even boasted of being responsible because he had come prepared for any contingencies like recording his confessions,boasts and threats but he had been surprisingly in control of his emotions and why not, he must feel in charge nowImagine him congratulating Jason on his wedding to Nancy. 'It had made the papers and news for weeks on end. You have it all now, a wife- a doting wife and a child and soon more children'.It would have flattered him to hear that but it had not brought joy be ause he had also mocked him. 'I hope for this recklessness of yours, Nancy never gives you peace and the marriage that you thought would bring you happiness, let it turn out to bring you misery'.And he was indeed miserable since Josephine had gone missing. Nancy ha
The police did not find anything the previous day and we're going to continue their search of cars that dayVery early that morning, Jason set out to the prison where Rodney was serving term He had been there for about Two years and out of the twenty five years he was given, he was going to be out on parole in the next three years for good behaviour.He had masterminded that because once he had been convicted, there was nothing his wife could do except for him to follow the advice of his lawyer to act well so that he would be paroled.The prison Warden came to tell him that he had a visitor.' Male or female?''Male. What would you want to do with a female in your state?'He wanted to give him a punch on the mouth. Must he have any lascivious intentions towards any female that came to visit him? Couldn't his wife visit? Though not surprising, his wife seemed to have abandoned him. She was already paying him back in kind by having male companions when he was free since revealing her t
The car drive off in high speed. The man considered this the most dangerous job he had ever done and praised himself for coming out of it successful.He had never had to abduct a child before and that too in the presence of her parents.He wouldn't say the parents were careless. How could they have known that their child was not safe in their own premises? The child had wandered out and he had been keeping watch over the house for close to a month now and felt that he knew the grounds. He had not expected to kidnap the girl that day but luck had been with him and it was though his spirit had called out to the girl and the girl had stroll down to his path and he could not believe his luck. He had called her and she had refused to come close to him at first,then he had said he was friends to her dad and mum and where could he find them?She had relaxed then and trusting as the child that she was had pointed towards her mum and dad, while her attention was diverted, He had carried her.
