Later that evening, Deji arrived home from work and saw no one in the living room then thanked his stars that there weren't there for him to see their pain. Especially the pained look on his wife's face because of her disappearance.

He needed rest from all the stress and going about just for Daniella’s disappearance.

It was one of the things that irritated him the most and he just wished that they don’t have to go through this stress all over again. It would have ended there at that time but it didn’t and she was found.

They faced enough trauma during her disappearance when she was younger, even when she was found, there was another round of trauma, stress, healing, trying to close the case since the culprits were not arrested.

Now, it is going to be a repetition and he wasn’t sure if he was ready for such drama and roller-coaster feelings.

He dropped his shoulders and went to sit on one of the sofa’s to relax his tire

They were sitting on the couch facing the couple.Deji was sitting on the sofa while his wife was sitting on the armrest of the sofa as they await what the officers had to say to them.“Do we need to call our children here too?” ROse asked but Adedeji shook his head ‘no’.“It is fine” Ahmed spoke up.“It's quite late officers, I am sure you had something for us or want something from us” Deji spoke up when the quiet in the room became intense and made him uncomfortable.“Okay, without wasting any more time, we would go straig

    This is happening all over again, it felt familiar and now it has been confirmed for me. I was kidnapped by the same people who kidnapped me when I was little.It was blurry but I couldn’t for anything miss that voice or where it came from. It was deadly familiar and I knew where it came from, I couldn’t be mistaken at all and it scared me that this time might be my end and I wouldn't be able to see my mum, dad, and siblings.I wouldn't be able to see Daniel and Becca graduate along with their other classmate, wouldn't be able to attend their matriculation ceremony, convocation ceremony when they finally get married and give us little cousins to play with.Would not be able to see my annoying twin sister and her new love interest or Chris or my dear Leo.My parents, their anniversary is coming up and we had something packed for them but I doubt they would be able to go ahead with those if something eventually happens to me.I can't even

    “Daniella” Rose sat up on the bed quite frantic by the dream she just had about her daughter.Deji too sat up when he heard his wife’s worried voice say their missing daughter’s name. His gaze rested on her as she lay her back on the headboard of their bed then let out a sigh.“Are you okay babe?” he leaned closer to her to put his arms around her shoulder so he can draw her closer to himself.“I had a dream about Ella and she was so scared. She was with some men in all black clothing and I saw the silhouette of some young boys and girls but they didn’t seem familiar one bit” she rested her head on his shoulder as she told him what she saw.“Probably because you just saw their silhouette,” he told her.“Yeah,” was her reply followed by silence.He rubbed comforting circles from her shoulder down to her arms then up to her shoulder then down to her arms.&ldq

    “What are you two up to now?” Deji asked and they both looked at each other then back to their parents before Daniel spoke up.“We were just looking for a pen” he answered and both Rose and Deji frowned and that supposed lie didn’t have them convinced in any way.“Even a stupid person will know that is a big lie, tell me what you are doing down here at this time of the night” he demanded and they kept quiet.“Babe, it's their parent's house, they can do whatever they want and be wherever they want to be just so far they are not doing any illegal things here, right guys?” she asked and they both nod their heads in agreement and were happy their mum stood for them like she always do.He looked at them not convinced by their facade but just decided to let it slide. He noticed something Danielle was carrying and when she saw her dad’s gaze go there, he hid it properly behind her back.“W

    When I was asked to go and meet their ‘boss’ earlier, I wasn’t wrong when I said that voice was familiar and even when I saw him that other day, I was still finding it hard to believe it.He found me again and I don’t know what plans he has for me this time.When I entered that room, he had this strange look on his stupid face and was about to say something to me when he was interrupted by the ringing of his phone so he pressed something I saw to be an intercom and those guys from earlier came to walk me back in that room they put me in.i was so curious to know who called and what the person wanted to tell him. I am guessing it is something he doesnt want me to know of that was why he asked that I was escorted out.I was kinda scared and confused as to what to do when they brought me back here.I wasn’t able to clearly look around the path we followed because each time I would allow my eyes wander around the path we f

    The police came in for a second search, more questioning, and to update them on whatever they had been doing.So far, nothing has been found. No phone calls had been made to the family of Daniella just like the first time and the police are coming to a conclusion that whoever might have taken her might be from the first time or if it is someone else, they have no intention of returning her.But what they want to do to her was still unclear to them so they just have to go with what they have their hands on at the moment and hope to get a lead in their investigation.Her two siblings have been trying their best to do their findings too and tried not to get in the way of the police too.After they had searched for the second time and came in for interrogations, Rose was impatient and told Deji that she wanted to join in the investigations to make things faster.“i don’t have a good feeling about this second abduction”“T

    “Daniel told me about what the police informed you people concerning her case, but have you tried to do some investigations on your own?” Becca asked when they strolled to the supermarket.“Yes, that is what we are doing now” Danielle replied.“Your parents are aware, right?”“Just our mum” she replied “There isn’t time to explain more but what you need to know is we have to do this secretly and not get in the way of the police”“The last thing we want is them coming to burst us and blame us for disturbing their investigations,” Daniel said and Becca nods,“I love a little secret agency trio,” Becca said and three of them laughed “So where do we start looking at?”“Let us get some of the things we are sure wouldn't be messed up if it is carried around then we can buy the rest when we are through for the day” Danielle suggested.

    “Hey, mum” Danielle came to her mum.Rose stopped what she was doing and placed the book she was reading on the chair beside her to give her daughter her full attention.“How are you baby?”“I am fine” she sat beside her mum and looked at her with a smile on her face.“He is upstairs and sleeping so you can tell me whatever you were able to find,” she told her and she nodded.“Well, we didn’t find much” Danielle explained and Rose let out a sigh and looked away, trying not to let her emotions get the best of her.Danielle puts her hand on her mother’s shoulder to comfort her and Rose lays her head on her shoulder as she lets the tears come out of her eyes.“You know, I do feel bad that I didn’t do my job properly as a mother,” her mum said.“No mummy, don’t say that” Rose raised her head from Danielle’s shoulder to

So here I am in my room sitting on my bed in all-black attire, slouched over and playing with my fingers as I wai

    “Ba-”“Where is my daughter?” she cuts him off as she threw him an angry look but he just looked at her, unable to formulate any word to say to her.“Look bab-”“I SAID DO NOT BABE ME” she screamed at him and he was taken aback by her outburst.This was going to be the first time in so many years that he would be seeing her in such a state. She gets angry but not this angry and would never use this tone on him.Daniella is definitely to blame for this. He closed his eyes to keep the pent-up anger that seem to have built up in seconds then opened them and released a breath.“I asked where is my daughter,” she said again but more calmly now.“You need to relax, okay?”“Fine, I am relaxed. Where is she?” she asked growing impatient.“Trust me, girl, I am as desperate as you to know about our baby’s whereabouts,” he said try
