“Did Dexter just say that to me, or I am beginning to imagine things that aren't real? When did he become that brave? I've always known him to be weak. Something isn't right. He might as well have some sort of backup.” Rhoda mumbled in disbelief.

Rhoda thought she had it all under control until she got stung like a bee. She never knew that Dexter would turn out to be a difficult nut to crack.

“Then get ready to spend the rest of your life in jail for refusing to cooperate with me. You son of a bitch. I am going to make your life miserable. You've got no idea the mistake you're making. Let's see who's going to have the last laugh,” Rhoda lashed back at Dexter. She didn't make an effort to convince Dexter to speak up because she knew he was never paying attention to her.

Rhoda spent the last couple of minutes surveying the station with the hope of uncovering Romeo's hideout. Something tells her that Romeo is hiding somewhere. She just couldn't figure out the exact spot.

    Until he was out of sight, Rhoda couldn't get her eyes off her. She trailed him until he got back in his car and drove off. A few minutes after Romeo drove off, Rhoda brought out her phone immediately to call Officer Lucas. The time for her exit had already elapsed, yet she didn't show any sign. She had successfully considered Romeo as her top priority. She has a feeling that Dexter had paid Romeo to get him out of prison. Although she wasn't certain yet, she was ready to uncover the truth regardless of how uncomfortable it would make her feel. “Pick up the damn call, Lucas. This is important,” Rhoda wept. She proceeded to text Lucas, and he still wasn't responding. It was beginning to hurt Rhoda and mess with her head. Just when she felt like giving up, she got a call from Lucas. Her joy knew no bounds. Her smile was stretched more than an anaconda. This was the perfect opportunity she was waiting for to prove Officer Lucas wrong, and she was ready to make the best of the moment

    It took Kelly a hard time trying to find a cab that would drive him back home due to how dark the atmosphere was. At some point, he was scared that he might have an ugly experience with some thugs, perhaps armed men who were going to steal his money like they did the previous time he went job hunting at George's company. “Thank goodness I am home now. Never thought I would have arrived home safe like this. I am never going back home this late anymore. I don't care what the emergency is. I am waiting for the morning before heading back home.” Kelly soliloquies as he arrives at his neighborhood.He checked his phone one more time to check the dollar that George transferred to his phone for being a good friend. Kelly still can't believe his eyes. He thought he was dreaming. All his life, he hasn't received such a huge amount from anyone before, let alone his combined life savings. “Ciara is going to love it when I tell her the huge amount that my friend gifted me,” Kelly said to hims

    “What are you trying to do? Get the fuck off me. How on earth did you find yourself in my bedroom, let alone naked with you? Wait a minute, did you drug me?” Ciara cried. She wasn't sure what to think about anymore. The only thought in my head was that they had sex and nothing more. What baffled Ciara the most was that Derek was calm. He didn't show any sign of weakness when he had sex with Ciara's Father's house. “Are you not going to say anything? How is this calm after everything that happened? What kind of person are you? Just when I thought you were different from your brother, Dexter. Then boom! You are worse than the devil,” Ciara roared like a wounded Lion. Seeing her react this way, Derek retracted. He didn't make any attempt to cuddle her anymore. He stayed quiet for a while, looked in the opposite direction, and narrowed his gaze back to her. “Firstly, I am better than my brother. Don't you dare compare us together? Secondly, I didn't drug you neither did I rape you. W

    “I've had a rough day, Ciara, so you better start talking now. You've got no idea what I've been through in the past few hours. I was supposed to come home and rest. But no, what did you do? You decided to rub my face in the mud.” Kelly bemoaned.“Dad, trust me You have got to believe what I say,” Ciara made a move to touch Kelly. “ Don't you dare touch me?You are not going to force me to believe the shit you say. You are not going to look me in the eyes and lie to me, would you?" Kelly transferred all his aggression to Ciara. Kelly didn't sign up for any of the drama. He had wanted to surprise Ciara with the money George sent him. Kelly was the one that ended up being surprised. He wasn't only shocked, it also spoiled the good mood he had brought and replaced it with sadness. “How's your friend, George, doing? I do hope he's getting better. When is he going to be discharged from the hospital? I feel he's spending too much time there,” Ciara asked. She tried to digress from the

    It was a new day, promising new hopes and aspirations for Ciara and her Father after the previous night of Royal Rumble. With their chaos, they nearly brought down the entire building. The rays of the morning sun flickered into Ciara's room as she rubbed her blurry eyes. She had been awake since 5:30 AM despite going to bed late the previous night. She barely even slept for three hours before her problem woke her up. Ciara wasn't a coffee drinker, but she stayed awake the whole night, thinking about the unfortunate incident that occurred in her house. No matter how she tried to forget, it kept playing in her head. Like a glued the incident was stuck to her mind. The fact that Derrek forgot some of his clothes and wallet complicated it. Ciara had already assured Walters that she was going to help him get the wallet. Returning the wallet to Derrek wasn't Ciara's fault. Her major concern is avoiding the temptation from Derrek after failing the last time, which, of course, leads t

    “You wouldn't dare do something stupid, Ciara. Your mom and I didn't raise you to be this disrespectful towards me,”“Take my mom's name out of your fucking mouth, Dad. She wouldn't treat me this way if she was alive, and you know it. So don't try to defend your mediocrity,” Ciara clapped back immediately with full confidence. Ciara's confidence grew stronger as each day passed. Gone were the days when she could barely even look at Kelly's face and speak. “I don't care what you do or say. The reason you turned out this way is that your late mom spoiled you. But with me, it's not going to be possible. I will do everything possible to ensure you act right. Hand over the paper to me now. I am speaking to you as your Father. It's an order, and you must obey me,” Kelly roared like a wounded lion. Kelly attempted to snatch the phone from Ciara. Unfortunately for him, Ciara saw that coming and edged backward. She stood a few miles away from Kelly should he attempt to punch her in the f

    “What am I going to do about this now? My Father won't let me leave. He's not even treating me like this daughter anymore. What have I done for him to deserve this?” Bewildered, Ciara questioned herself. She sought a solution but couldn't get one. She was desperate to go get the keys from Kelly certainly. After seeing that little display by Kelly, Ciara was forced to retract. "He's just going to beat me to a pulp for the first time, and it's going to be one crazy hell of an experience,” Ciara thought. In the process of finding a way out, Ciara thought of something new. She quickly recalled hhow Derrek was able to escape through the back door without Kelly knowing about it.“Yes, the back door. That's precisely what I am going to use.Why didn't I think about this before? My Dad won't even notice anything. Let's see who's smarter now,” She giggled and praised herself for coming up with a solution almost immediately when it felt like all hope was lost. Ciara wasn't even bothere

    “You again? What kind of man are you? What do you want from me? Don't you get tired of stalking me? It wasn't enough for you to show up in my house unannounced, now you want to get me killed? How cruel can you get? Do you want me to report you to the cops before you leave me the heck alone?” Ciara yelled at Derek with the loudest voice for almost knocking her down. She didn't even give him a breathing space to explain better. At every attempt to speak, she keeps shutting him down. “Can I at least explain myself better?You are already condemning me without a fair judgment. Even a criminal is entitled to a fair hearing at the court.” Derek pleaded like a pauper. “What do you have to say this time in defense? You certainly have no point. The truth remains that you almost got me killed. How else are you going to defend that? Perhaps, you want to justify the reason you almost got me killed. “ She yelled again. This time, even worse than the first time. The situation was attracting too

    “Do you enjoy wasting people's time, or it's a habit you just developed?” George snarled. He swore not to get himself involved in another heated moment with the cops anymore. Unfortunately, Rhoda pushed his button, forcing him to go against his will.“That's Officer Lucas. He's going to attend to you. He's responsible for this case,” Rhoda confessed just to roll the burden away from her heart. “You bitch! You had to find a way to force me into this mess. I am going to make you pay for what you just did.” Lucas threatened Rhoda. He was sending signals to Rhoda not to point at him, but she wasn't paying attention. Guilt and anxiety had taken over her soul. The only thing she was interested in was seeing Dexter and his Father leave. “I am sorry, Sir. I had no choice I was under immense pressure,” Rhoda apologized. Unfortunately, the apology was rejected immediately as Lucas continued to yell at her. “Keep your damn apology to yourself. I don't want to hear it. Why didn't you te

    Five minutes had gone past and Dexter was still chewing his nails, thinking of his decision. He feared making the worst decision that was most likely to ruin his life for good. As much as Dexter hated being locked up in the police station for too long and would do anything to buy his freedom, he still wasn't satisfied with his Father's decision. He wished his Father would reconsider his decision and have mercy on him. Getting married to Ciara wasn't what Dexter had envisaged in his lifetime, because they never liked each other from the onset. He never for once, found Ciara worthy enough to be his girlfriend, let alone his wife. He had a feeling that the marriage wouldn't even leave for a week before they finally got divorced. “You should know that being kept quiet is what I hate the most, Dexter. Yet, you keep doing it to me. Do you think I'm here to look at your ugly face? I've got other important stuff to worry about. Instead, I chose to come here and save your sorry ass.

    "My son? What the hell are you talking about, Kelly? I can't see anybody here. Please where's Dexter? Or have you started imagining things? Perhaps, we should have your head examined because it's obvious that you're losing it already," George taunted Kelly. But it was Dexter who felt it the most. Dexter felt humiliated by his Father's derogatory remarks about him. To Dexter, that was worse than being abandoned in the police custody. That was the moment he wished that his Father never agreed to show up. Because the presence of his Father makes no difference to him whatsoever. "Now this is getting serious, George.When did you suddenly become a comedian? Are you saying that you can't recognize your son anymore or what?" Kelly frowned. The whole thing was starting to look like a joke to him. He doesn't understand George anymore because that wasn't their initial plan. George stood up and pointed towards Dexter. "Kelly, take a good look at this man standing here. Does he have any s

    Rhoda hasn't rested since she escorted Dexter to see his Father. Rhoda wasn't with them in the visitor’s room but her heart won't stop beating faster. This was the only time she ever wished that Dexter would be granted bail by his father so she could be free from the pressure the coopers had heaped on her. As Rhoda mauled over her thoughts, Lucas walked past her unnoticed. He returned to her duty post when he noticed that Rhoda refused to acknowledge his presence. "Hey, Rhoda. How's it going with you?" Lucas waved at Rhoda to get her attention. He did that the second time, yet there was no response from Rhoda. Not even a blink of an eye. It appears that she was lost in profound thought judging from the way she placed her hands below her jawline. Fed up with seeking Rhoda's attention, Lucas slammed the desk In frustration to awaken her lost soul. "Good day, sir," Rhoda hurriedly greeted Lucas and did the salutation to welcome him. "How long have you been standing here, sir?"

    He threw the car keys to Romeo and pointed to a blue Lexus Rx car. "You see that over there? That's the one we are going with," "We are here now," Romeo announced. It was a twenty-minute drive. The shortest drive that George has ever had. "So fast?" George asked. He thought it was gonna be a long journey. "Yes, so fast. I could understand your reaction. It's because it's your first time," Romeo explained. Then he went ahead to narrate everything that needed to be known about the station. He laid more emphasis on Rhoda and Officer Lucas than anyone else. To him, those two were the real vampires of the station. "I've heard everything you said. We will be back in ten minutes," George told Romeo as they stepped outside. "Ten minutes? I seriously doubt that," Romeo laughed. He can't see how that will be achieved when Rhoda and Lucas are In the picture. "You took the car keys, didn't you?" Kelly reminded George. He has been harboring that question In his mind for a while now."O

    Kelly and George went back to Romeo with a different kind of mood that seemed a lot more encouraging. Most especially George, who almost kicked Romeo out of the house a while ago because he thought that Romeo was an imposter. “Are you both done with the private talk already? What was the conclusion? Do I need to stay or leave?” Romeo asked in anticipation. Romeo's heart was beating faster. He saw the smiles on Kelly's face, yet he wasn't convinced. The last time he checked, George was Dexter's Father and not Kelly. He still can't fathom how Kelly was putting in more energy in the case than George, who's the biological father of Dexter. Now he knows why no one has shown up to bail Dexter yet. “We have agreed to come with you to the station to see Dexter” George finally agreed. He had to glare at Kelly before responding. “That sounds like a great idea. I bet Dexter will be so happy to see you. He can't stop talking about you. However, we might have a slight problem,” Romeo frown

    “Are you seriously mocking me now? What do you mean he's gonna show up? Did he disclose that to you? Or you're the one making false assumptions just to please me?” George flared at Kelly.“Oh, here he comes,” Kelly called George's attention as he pointed at someone from a distance. “I told you he wasn't gone. You should have listened to me. I guess you owe me an apology now,” Kelly bragged. “You again? I thought you were gone?” George acted surprised. He pretends not to care about Romeo's return. But deep down, he cared the most. His ego was just preventing him from speaking the truth.“I never left. I had an urgent call that needed to be answered in private. Well, here I am now. Do I still need to prove myself to you?” Romeo explained. From the atmosphere around them, he was already feeling optimistic that George was going to let him in.“No worries, Do come in,” Kelly welcomed Romeo after waiting for George to speak. Considering how egocentric George was, Kelly was damn sure t

    “Yo! Dave. Can you please come take this empty glass away? And thank you for the drink. I appreciate you. I must say, you are quite nice. Don't stop doing good. It's only a matter of time before your reward comes,” Kelly said to Dave. He saw Dave passing by and decided to call him.Dave was stunned by Kelly's gesture. None of George's visitors has treated him in such a kind manner before. Not even Dexter, Derek, or George's business partners. “It is my pleasure to serve you, sir. Thank you for the advice. It means a lot to me,” Dave smiled and left with that tray.Kelly won't stop checking his wristwatch. He was getting fed up with George's constant delay.“What's George doing out there? I thought he promised not to stay too long.” Kelly's soliloquies as he waited for George to be done. He can't even see the face of the person that George was speaking with at the doorway.“What did you say your name was again?” George asked yet another question. It appears that he wasn't too pleas

    “Just forget about Derek. Welcome to my humble abode. Would you like me to get you something to drink?” George forced a smile to make Kelly forget about the issue. He proceeds to call Dave. “ Hey, Dave. Go get my friend a glass of red wine. Make it snappy. He is my best friend. I wouldn't want you to keep him waiting for too long,”“No, please wait. I don't need anything for now. I didn't come here to be entertained,” Kelly hurriedly stopped Dave just as the latter was about to leave. “Dave, you just heard from my friend. You can now head back to your duty post. Don't return until your name is heard,” George ordered as he dismissed Dave, leaving him alone with Kelly. “What took you so long to show up? I was worried that you were never going to make it here,” George asked Kelly as they both sat down after a handshake. Kelly nodded sideways in pity. He wasn't looking happy, and George could tell that it had nothing to do with Derek. “Kelly, what's the issue? It's your daughter,
