Thirty Five -- Ewawummi
"Are you he didn't figure out that we trapped him?" Kunle asked as I shook my head.
"He isn't that smart. Imagine him asking a police for bribe. What insolence!" I said as we got there but we met another scene.
"What happened?" I asked as we parked.
"I think someone is injured." Kunle said as I ran down. I saw them carrying a body. I showed my ID and opened the face. My face literally went pale. They found him too!
"What happened here?" I asked as they covered him up. He was shot in the restroom. Go inside for more details." They nodded as they continued with their work. Kunle was already at my side. We walked into the restaurant together. We were allowed to enter the restroom to view the scene.
"Damn! What happened here?" I passed my hands through the tail of my ponytail.
"The real criminal must have found out that he was about to tell
Thirty Six -- Iseoluwa "Wait what, you brought it?" He said with a laugh as I shrugged. I know he asked for a picture but I want that guy to see how much I can ruin him. He really should get prepared."Beside, I brought two other cases. I haven't gone through them actually." I replied as he smiled.He collected the three cases and placed them side by side on the bed. I just sat and watch whatever magic he wanted to perform. "I think you should go through the three and look for the toughest we could start with. I'll be in my room". I patted his back before leaving.I was stopped by Kunle on getting to my to door. "Hey, it's been long I saw you last." He said as I smiled. How come he doesn't know my name."Call me Ish, short for Ise." I said as he laughed."Ish?, really? I think I'll prefer calling you Ise. Well, I'm Kunle. It's funny that we have known each ot
Thirty Seven -- EwawummiI had a rough night plainly because I had to dig deep into eighteen years back. I had no time to waste, so I decided to treat a year in a day. My puffy eyes were beneath the glasses I wore. After arriving at the office, I went in to see boss."I am around Sir." I said as I turned to leave."Emm. Ewa, I apologize for the insults I hurled on you. The truth is I was very angry." He said as I smiled and walked closer to him."Something got stolen, right?" I whispered as he stared before nodding slowly. I knew it! It must be something secretive."Boss, I am here to help you. Tell me what you need to do." I said as I sat down. He smiled in response before moving closer."You want to know why I requested for a guard? Here it is. From an unknown source, I heard my past was going to be dug. The file they stole is an inkling to the truth in that information
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
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
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
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 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 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 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
