Thirteen -- Iseoluwa
"Wait, what? She is a slave in his house for the past six years? How could he do that?" David shouted repeating Eric's words.
"For real, that man is a huge jerk. He enrolled her into a prestigious school for a year in order to convince her father. But ever since that year ended, she has been working as a maid." Eric classified as Abigail clenched her fist.
"I don't know all about this but that person is a beast. I would definitely do all that is in my power to ruin his son. The goods have arrived." Johnny said I smiled.
"About the goods, he said he is interested. I told him I was going to get it from where I hid it. He requested for fifteen packs. How do we go about it?" Eric asked as I thought for a while.
"Let's deal with the labourer's daughter first. After that, we would come in with the drugs. But for now, I need to kidnap that girl from the house. She is the on
Fourteen -- EwawummiI ran straight to boss. I needed to hear it right from him. I knocked as the door opened."Yeah, we were waiting for you. Did you hear?" He asked as I nodded."Yes sir. I heard a little but came here for the full details. How was he killed? Is the scene still pure?" I asked as he stood up."Let's go to the scene." We stepped out and I told Ini to tag along. He smiled before greeting. I slowly pushed the door opened as we walked in. His body had been carried out already. His posture was marked with a red marker. The cleaner's dress was sprawled on the floor that means he didn't leave in the cleaner's form."Was he clothed when he was found?" I asked as I picked up the cloth."No he wasn't. He only had his undergarments on." Boss replied as I turned to him."In order words, he must have left in his clothes. Looking at this initia
Chapter Fifteen -- IseoluwaWe all sat round the table at the hotel. We were in Abigail's room. Funke was a little scared as she kept rubbing her palms."Who are you guys?" She said slowly as I stared."We are people who are interested in freeing you dad. We need your help to get your dad's statement." I explained as she nodded."Statement for what? I hope you aren't trying to threaten him to something wrong right?" She said firmly as I sighed."Of course no. We are really trying to help." Abigail answered her softly as she nodded."So, what am I supposed to do? How do I help?" She asked as I smiled."Shall we?" I turned to Abigail who nodded in response. ***We waited patiently for the labourer to come out. On seeing us, he
Sixteen -- KunleI sprawled on my bed after returning from the hospital. My phone rang. I sighed before stretching my arms to reach it. Without bothering to look at the caller, I picked it."Oh my, you did pick up." She said as I groaned. Why did I pick it up?"Should I go off?" I retorted as I can imagine her shaking her head."No, son. I really wanted to hear your voice. It's been days since you have left. I haven't heard from you enough. I was really worried..." I cut her off."Cut to the chase mom, would you?" I snapped. I really can't keep playing nice."Oh... Okay. Have you been eating well? Also, how have you been finding work?" She spoke softly as I sighed. I really should try being nice."Mom, I have been eating. Also, work has been cool. Are you satisfied?" I said slowly trying not to shout."Alright then. But, I still think being the Poli
Seventeen -- Iseoluwa"You are looking really pretty." I said smiling as she sighed adjusting the maid dress."Seriously Eric, you owe me one." Abigail stated plainly as Eric laughed before nodding."That's the only way. Tonight is the best time to strike and you would be the inner strike we have. I am giving him the drugs today. So, find a way to leak that out. I would be there to communicate too. Don't worry." He stated softly as she nodded."Alright, let's get going. Are you done packing the goods?" She said as he nodded."Johnny already helped with that one. He would leave when we see that this is a total progress." He added as I dialed David's number."What's up with the girl? Are things going as we planned?" I asked as he laughed."We are back at the hotel. I would explain when we get in." He said as I nodded waiting for him."David is c
Eighteen -- Ewawummi"I found her address." Ini rushed in as I jerked up. I barely ate anything since I watched that video. It pained me to see a lot of people mourning over a boss like that. How dare he harassed her? How dare he hit her?"Boss, let's get going." He broke my stream of thoughts as I picked up my phone following him. He drove the car because he knew how narrow minded I am now. I can't guarantee that we won't have an accident."Boss, you need to calm down. You won't get any information with this attitude. You know that boss." He emphasized as I nodded."I am calming down already. Once we get to her place, I would have been okay." I said as he nodded. It took us a while to reach her out. It was small and cosy. She must be the only one living here.We knocked on the door for a while before it opened. A man came out... Oh, she is the one! Wait, she is dressed as a male at home? I passed I
Nineteen -- Eric"I am sure you have seen my maid." I asked Johnson over the phone has he laughed."Yeah, sure. She is such a pretty looking thing. It's nice to have such eye treatment in your house daily." He smirked as I rolled my eyes. How dare he called Abigail a thing?"Anyways, I would be sending the goods very soon. The Maid told me that you would be needing six box of apples to make the fruit juices. I plan to make it seven. The last one would be the goods thoroughly and neatly parked in the packet. A few apples would be on top. You just have to identify it that's all." I said as I could sense him nodding."That's not bad. But, how do I recognize it? What if someone else picks it up. It's game over!" He stated as I smiled."The tape used would be brown while the others are transparent. Besides, I would tape your name to it. Just state that your doctor said you needed more apples that's why you bought a
Twenty -- Iseoluwa"Mission perfect. We only need a step more guys." I said as we all were connected so we could hear each other."You need to see his expression, guys. It was horrible. Also, I met the police on my way out. Did they already come too arrest him?" I asked as they laughed."No not him. He would be arrested but not now. They came to pick his son for drugs. Nice job, Abigail." I said as she smiled."It was fun though I had to fall down." She whined."Really? Did you get hurt?" David asked as Eric cleared his throat. My response was a laugh."No, I'm okay." She said softly as I smirked."How about you disconnect the call and proceed to have a private discussion?" I stated slowly as David huffed."It isn't like that." Abigail whined."Anyway, what's the last step we need to have take. The man's ruined already." Abigail add
Twenty One -- Kunle"What do you mean dead?" My boss shouted as all the other junior officers stood straight."Yes sir. We were almost at the door step when we had the gunshot. By the time we got there, he was already dead. We could only hear groans from the rest room and we found the lawyer." One of them stated as boss nodded."Any statement from the lawyer?" He questioned."He only testified to seeing a man in all black. He was the one who knocked him out. He also thinks that he might be responsible for his death." He replied as boss nodded again."Then, is he also the one that uploaded all his crimes? Why would he do that?" Boss queried himself as he dismissed everyone except me."What do you think?" He asked as my eyes widened in shock. I smiled in return as I stood properly. I have wanted to say something since."It's obvious that you have something to say. So,
Forty Six -- Ewawummi"A crazy jerk in love with a sassy officer." He said as my heart leaped for joy. He was in love with me. But, what's wrong with me? I was supposed to be mad at him but here am I in his arms."Put me down. I can walk." I said as he opened the window. I peeped outside. The fire fighters were already down with their water tank."Hold me tight, we are going to jump." He said as I gasped. What?"We are on the first floor." I complained as he adjusted me."Close your eyes." He said as he passed through the already burning window. I could hear screams from people but I couldn't risk opening my eyes. We ended up hitting the floor with me falling upon him. I opened my eyes slowly and gasped on seeing Ise's condition. His head was bleeding badly. Why didn't I notice that it was this worse. He was already feeling dizzy."Are you okay?" His voice came out barely as a whisp
Forty Five -- Iseoluwa"You didn't have to come. Why would you risk your life?" Dave scolded me as he kept breathing heavily."Do you think I would leave you here? I saw the memory card." I said as he sighed in relief. "How did you get it? I never knew it existed." I said as he turned with a smile. His lips was bleeding already."When we arrived from Canada, I dialed your doctor's number. He had the recording for a long time. I caught him with it and he couldn't deny. He was just so afraid. I called him then and promised to do a clean job without his name being mentioned. After much persuasion, he sent it to me this morning. I planned to tell you when I arrived but, I got kidnapped." He said as I wished I was free to hug and thank him."Thank you Dave, I'm really glad you gave me the opportunity to hear mom's voice and dad's too. I will make sure you get out of here safe." I said as he laughed."We
Forty Four -- EwawummiSomething was really wrong. But, what? I clenched unto his Identity Card I picked from the floor as I paced around. Why did it feel like that was the last time I would see him. Oh God, please keep him save.My phone suddenly rang and I ran to it hoping it was Ise. "Ini? Hello." I replied disappointed."Boss, are you okay? You don't sound well?" He replied as I sighed."I am really not okay, Ini. I am so worried right now. I don't know what to do." I said honestly."Why? The case is giving you problem? Or perhaps? Ise?" There was humor laced with his last word. Ini was like family to me so I told him a lot of things."The latter. Something is wrong somewhere and I don't seem to understand. It's like I might not get to see him again. I feel so uneasy." I explained as he hummed in response."If he isn't telling you, you shouldn't dig too deep and
Forty Three -- Iseoluwa"Why did you have to get the same flavour as mine?" She mocked with a sly smile as she carefully sucked in her ice cream."Well, I think I've been whipped." I winked before pulling her into the vehicle. My phone rang as I picked it."Eric? What's up?" I asked as he sounded panicked. Is something wrong? "Speak up!""They caught hold of Dave. That witch and her gang. He is in trouble. What should we do?" He cried out as I suddenly pressed the brake making us jolt forward."Damn! Hold on, I'm coming." I hung up. "I need to get somewhere. I'll get a cab for you." I said as I got down. She did the same and walked over to me."What's wrong? Is it very important?" She asked purely worried as I tried to keep cool."Ewa, you will go home and relax. Okay? Everything's fine." I replied as she shook her head in tears."Why are you
Forty Two -- Iseoluwa"Do you mean it?" Dave questioned as I clenched my fist."I knew we weren't compatible. It wasn't because of my cold nature but the fact that he was my greatest enemy son." I replied as I was digging deep into his family affairs online."What do we do? Should we park? You said he knows about us. What if he reports us? Things have gone out of hands! It's gonna be bad if Ewa finds out too." Eric muttered pacing around."Let's plan to leave. That's our priority. Ewa finding out is nothing compared to your safety." I replied as Abigail sighed."Ise, it is obvious that you like her. Come on, you do love her. Don't fight it." She whispered as I laughed in despair."What? Love? Hey, I planned to use her from the very start. That's what I'm still doing. It's totally heartless to call it love." I answered her. Eric passed a look to David as they left us alone.
Forty One -- KunleAfter series of call, she picked up. "Wow, my son who never wants to hear my voice finally calls. How amazing." She mocked as I clenched my fist."Where are you?" I replied as she laughed."Awwwn, my son. Are you concerned about your mother now? It's okay. I can't be caught." She said as I inhaled sharply. She was getting me angry but I needed to keep cool if I wanted to get any useful information."Where are you right now? I will come to you." I said as she sighed."With the officers? Hey, I am not that foolish." She replied as I lost it."Which son would want his mother arrested? Can you just tell me where you are and let me get you? You are the next, don't you know that?" I shouted as there was silence at the other end."Are you still there?" I said slowly."You are my son after all. I am at your hotel. I
Forty -- EwawummiOn seeing dad's grave, my heart wept. I stalked slowly towards it as the tears were threatening to drop."I will give you privacy if you want." Ise said as I shook my head. I might do something if he left. His presence alone soothed my soul."Dad, dad. What have I done?" I cried as I leant on his grave. "I was dedicating all my life to the jerk that killed you. For a long time, I had always been praying for him. I had no idea." I cried harder as I felt a hand on my shoulder."Don't blame yourself. You had no idea." He whispered as I hit my chest so hard."You don't understand. It's better that I had no idea. You don't know what I'm passing through. Why was the case revealed? Who is that damned criminal?" I shouted as he pulled me up."Wake up! If you are going to catch the criminal, you won't be crying here. Wake up, this isn't the solution. Wake up!" He
Thirty Nine -- IseoluwaI carried her gently in my arms. She looked so fragile as tears kept falling from her eyes. I could have chosen another case file but, I wanted her to know the entire truth about her father's death. I placed her gently on her office table."I'll be back, I need to make a call." I said as she blinked in response."Hey Dave, are they around?" I asked quietly as he understood me."The police are about to take him. You should be fast or are we to hijack them on the way?" He asked as I shook my head."No, I'll go right now. I just need to make sure someone is okay." I said as I hung up."It's okay to leave, I want to be alone." Ewa whispered as I nodded before leaving. I had my hood on my face as I slowly barged into his office."Who are you? Oh, Ise? I..." He said as I glared at him and locked the door."What is
Thirty Eight -- KunleI was already done with two years and couldn't get anything useful. I decided to look up his friends. I should be able to find something very useful. I opened my system and began a background check on him. But, what I found amazed me.He was close friends with the late Mr. Dauda who died of cancer, Mr. Durotola and dad?? Why was dad his friend? Perhaps? No, it can't be. I grabbed those files I gathered on him. I really hope I could find something. I hope mom isn't related to this case!"So, Mr. Durotola is the next target? Damn, I need to tell Ewa." I picked my jacket and ran out. I really need to tell her before something happens. I hoped she is save. The murderer could come into play at anytime. I drove with full speed as various thought filled my mind. Was mom's case really involved in this matter. Also, why was dad close with them?I switched on the radio to ease my tension. "An unkno
