Nancy felt dizzy.

'I have to go in for now. I have had enough exercise for today. I feel a headache coming on'.

'Oh no, are you sure it is not as a result of our discussion,l? I should have kept my mouth shut'. Phoebe said in false panic.

'No. It's nothing of the sort. I have had this headaches since I became conscious. So don't blame yourself' but I really have to take my drugs and rest my head for a little while'.

They went back inside with Phoebe secretly jubilant. She had got Nancy's trust and had succeeded in sowing a seed of distrust for Jason in her. What she had to do now was to water it and see how she could cause Nancy's health to deteriorate in the process.

She helped Nancy with her drugs and covered her with the covers before leaving her alone, hoping that when the effect of the drug wore off, Nancy would still think about all she had told her and get more headaches.

Some body has been forcing her to recall things'.'I knew it. When Miss Phoebe went out with her the other day....' her voiced trailed off. She did not want to seem too assuming.'Yes, Mrs. Potts, you have my permission to speak'.'Well they seemed in deep conversation and from a distance, I could see her facial expression change.

He and his lawyer had rehearsed what he had to say but since Campbell's lawyer didn't ask the question they were waiting for, his lawyer decided to ask it.'You have been accused of abducting a young pregnant lady on the night of December 28th. Can you really tell us what happened on that day?''Yes, if you please'.

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?

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.

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.

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
