Michael POVHow events in man's life changes without any caution.Truly, there is no ordinary day.Who would have thought that we will go from searching for the strange woman and her child into searching for a key?**Scoffs**We searched almost all the areas in the cathedral, up to the point that we had to check outside to see if the key was thrown away or something but we did not succeed in opening that door.At the end of the day, we return back home bath(ed) with dust and cobwebs.Ayla took pictures of the door lock and sent to Barb, and we were waiting for information from him."Here it is." Barb said to the over the phone. And immediately I took the car keys leaving the house.Weekend where I'm supposed to be resting, I'm here running helter skelter in other to fix everything right.If it were something I could ignore and pay less attention to, it would have been good but this - every flashes of the pictures and events hunt me down everyday that I have no peace of mind.If I don'

Michael POVGiving them a break, I decided to meet up with the Vikings again.I have not gotten feedback from them neither has anyone called me.I know most of them have given up and don't want to do what I wish they would.I decided to visit them again, this time, the gate man immediately opened the gate at the sound of my horn.I begin to think that maybe the person I came for is finally available, Torrance.I carried the video and few other evidence I have against the fact that Pablo is toying with them. To show them.I entered the living room but met it's silence."Where is everyone?" I wondered before taking my sit.Soon, Drico and Landon comes out from the kitchen holding glasses that contained red wine.It is obvious that they are living comfortably without caring about what was happening outside. It was none of their business because they have taken their mind out of it.No one wants to be a sacrificial lamb for someone else's stead."Torrance isn't here." Drico said before ta

The text got me up and active. I momentarily forgot about my new position and the probability of having a case on ground to solve. The most important Viking had returned and I needed to meet with him at all costs. It was my first day on the new position and I know it isn’t advisable for me to slack off but I needed to see Torrance urgently, he has finally created time for, who knows when he would be available again? I search the cupboards of my mind for any excuse that would not have me looking like a lazy person as I went out of my office. I meet Joy outside my office at her work desk. She was engrossed in her computer that it got me wondering what she had doing. At the sound of my door clicking shut, Joy’s head sprung up abruptly to look at me. Her eyes holding a spark of fear and dread as it fixed on me. The telephone that sat idly on her desk rang just as I was about speaking, cutting me off. She hesitantly reached for it, never cutting off eye contact with me as she pulled the r

Ayla’s POV “Easy now big guy, love doesn’t work that way. I have pressing issues to take care of. We will meet again, won’t we? When we do, I will be super ready for you” I pushed Smith teasingly. He was beginning to irk me out with his lovey-dovey bullshit but I had to endure it, since it meant a high chance at solving Michael’s case. I grinned inwardly at the thought of Michael. “Pressing issues? Anything I can help with? I have very solid connections that can make your issues mere tissues to toss away” he grinned stupidly, like a school boy that had just gotten his candies. “Nice teasing rhymes but no, I can take care of my own problems” He started to disagree but was cut short but the vibration of his phone as it rang out. His absurd grin melted into a disdainful frown as he looked at the caller. “I need to leave…” I interrupted him “It’s fine. I was just leaving anyways” I walked hastily out of his sight just as he answered the caller; his voice booming ga

Michael’s POV Barb walked into my office exactly five minutes after our chat. I had been processing the crime scene in my head while I waited for him. The door flung open and Barb stood at its threshold with his best device in hand. “Come on in. Shut the door firmly behind you” He did as I instructed, taking a seat beside mine. With a reflex action, his arm muscle contracted and flipped the laptop open. He navigated through the system and opened a video before pushing the laptop closer to me. “What is this?” I couldn’t properly point out what was playing in the video because of its dark background “I had previously saved the evidence Ayla got from Pablo on my system and was scanning through it to check for any detail I might have missed from the first check. That was how I stumbled on this CCTV footage” “From Pablo?” I was surprised and confused at the same time. I had not noticed a footage like that while running the first check but it was pretty easy to toss aside since one wa
