Chapter 21
KyrianI was totally confused seeing the picture in front of me, I felt insane for a moment. There was only one voice that I could hear, the sweet voice of my mum whispering "You can do this". “So who is Shaki?”. I muttered hopelessly as Timi shook his head while looking at me “What is wrong with the both of you? I am trying to get things in order and you are confusing me all the more, what is going on?! You both screamed "Shaki!" As if you saw a ghost, yet the two of you are the same people asking me who Shaki is, are you insane?!”. Inspector John screamed angrily as he looked furiously at Timi and me.“We are sorry Sir”. We mumbled together.The rest of the statements Inspector John made afterwards were all history as I kept looking at the man in the picture dumb. He wasn't even close to looking like Shaki. Meaning, that Shaki is most likely to be the terror we have been looking for, for years and yet we allowed him to sleep away from us. How could I have made such a costly mistak

KyrianDan had fallen and injured his stomach again. Timi and I quickly helped him out of the bathroom. I had to clean it up immediately while Timi helped him redress the wound again. That took us another round of gisting before we finally slept off.The barking sound of my neighbour's dog woke me up while I gently rubbed my eyes. I tried stretching my legs but couldn't as I felt a soft cold skin. I finally sat up straight while looking at the figure. It was Dan, he was polishing his black shoe.“How are you feeling now?”. I asked concerned, as he whispered "Fine". I couldn't stand up from the bed, all my body system felt crushed and weak. I yawned as the bad breath from my mouth returned to me. My mouth had a terrible smell so I went directly to the bathroom to brush my teeth.“Oh my goodness! What a night! What about Timi?”. I said while drying my face with a little towel that was in the bathroom.“He already left for the airport, he said he didn't want to trouble you that was why h

Chapter 23
KyrianThere was absolutely nothing that could describe how bad I felt until I reached home. I had taken excuses from work because I needed to deal with my emotions. Dan had asked me what went wrong but I refused to speak or utter a word to him.I picked up my pad and started a game with my PlayStation. I was obviously won multiple times. My hands only moved on the pad whereas my eyes were fixed on a blank space, the beautiful light radiated from my laptop yet it all felt like a blackout. Timi returned during cool evening, not a word to me nor Dan. Dan hoping he would say a word to him got even confused about our attitude “Is this how you guys live or behalf daily?!”. He had whispered annoyed while going to bed to sleep. It was my first time having an issue with Timi and it isn't a good one. I avoided the bed space and went to sleep in the sitting room. No one bothered about the night meal, aside from Dan who prepared a little noodles for himself and slept while Timi and I went with

Kyrian I couldn't be more shocked when Timi dressed up and left again.“It's already two days yet you people still act like strangers, what is going on?”. Dan muttered as I came out of the bathroom.“Mmm... Some days are like that. Guess he we are cool with the silence, don't worry, we will bounce back, I'll be reaching the office today, I need to clarify some stuff with Inspector John”. I mumbled while gently pressing the mouth of my dove cream, while gently massaging my skin with it.“Some days are like that?! It's already two days, and I'm no longer comfortable, I will be returning to my apartment tomorrow, is this how you both intend to continue?!”. He said worriedly while I kept smiling at him.“You worry so much my friend, we will be fine trust me. You know where to get food if you need it. I will be on my way now”. I said and gently gave him a pat on his shoulder.I could feel Dan's angry look as he kept looking at me while I walked out of the house.I was happy and same time m

KyrianWell, just like a fairy tale, Timi and I reconciled and went back to the office together. He dropped his car key and decided to go on my ride. Dan was sitting at the back “So...”. I muttered while looking at Timi.“So what?!”. He said blushing.“The rescue mission gist”. I muttered as we started laughing.“Well, I just went to the airport, bribed one of the craft coordinators and he shared his details with me, I waited till he came to the airport, he did disguise himself with his supposed son, though the young boy looked pretty young to be Lucy's since they were long divorced, but the DNA result will tell more on that. So, I...”“All these silly touts”. Dan interrupted as I looked at him.“What's wrong?”. I mumbled while looking at him smiling.“Nothing, sorry for disrupting, just a little view of this mad tout displaying rash behaviour. And he is still hitting the guy's car”. He said while looking back.I had to look through the mirror “Hold on isn't that Shaki?!”. I muttered

KyrianI just tried keeping quiet while still looking at the man and how gently he answered Timi as he was being interrogated by him.“His son is crying, he wants to see him”. Inspector John muttered after a phone call.“But don't worry, he won't, not until he speaks the truth”. He muttered and left.“I want to see my son”. He whispered after a short break.“You are yet to say the truth”. Timi mumbled as he stood up to drink water.“Nobody will father your child when you die, I'll make sure of that, so you better start telling the truth”. I mumbled and left the room, after a short while Timi came out as well.“Said anything yet?”. I mumbled while looking at Timi in his sweaty shirt.“Same lying words when he gets tired of lying he will let us know”. He mumbled and took a seat close to where I stood. “But this is the craziest case I have ever gotten myself involved in. He doesn't have a mark on his face, neither does Shaki, so who is the murderer?”. I let out as Timi busted out laughi

KyrianOne story to another, the mystery of Lucy's child is yet to come to an end.“Where is the child he was found with?”. I muttered while looking at Inspector John.“Somewhere in the waiting room, do you want to see him?”. He muttered as I nodded and handed the paper back to him.“Yes Sir, but before that...”“Any problem?”. He said sharply not letting me finish up with my statement.“Not really, I was only concerned with your first visitor, he looks quite family, did he just return from the state?”. I said as he paused and smiled at me.“Not really, he is just a good friend of mine, let's go see the child if you don't mind”. He said as I let out a weary smile and followed him.We walked down to the waiting room where he pointed towards the little boy who was already in tears and calling out his father.“I'll take it from here”. I mumbled while going with my pen and jotter for necessary information.“Hey”. I whispered to the little boy while trying to touch his face but he adjusted

KyrianWe waited patiently for the wife to come after she picked up the call and promised to come. While I moved towards the AC my eye cut with his child as I moved forward to the boy.“Do you want to see your Dad?”. I mumbled nicely as the little boy nodded with tears running down his eyes.“Then clean your eye, so that I can take you to your daddy”. I let out as he gently started to dry his tears with his hand. I finally used his top to clean it properly and reached out to him as he grabbed my hand.“Stop crying”. I whispered as he began to jerk and immediately he saw his Dad he ran and hugged him tightly. I stood for a while watching the two display their father-to-son love.I was already tired and also worried about Dan.“Is your wife not coming?”. I asked a bit harsh.“Maybe you should give her a call again”. He mumbled and I quickly dialled the woman's number.“Sorry Sir, I'm close to the office, you know Lagos state and traffic, I'll soon be there, just give me a little time”.

Chapter 29
Epic 29The room was silent, except for the sound of breathing. The husband's eyes were fixed on the DNA test results, his hands clenched into fists. The woman's eyes were wide with fear and confusion, but there was something else there, too - a hint of deception. She was hiding something.The husband looked at her, his eyes filled with anger and hurt. He knew she was lying, but he couldn't understand why. "You're lying," he said, his voice shaking with fear."No, I'm not!" the woman protested, her voice rising in pitch. "I... I would never lie to you!"But the husband could see the lie in her eyes, and it filled him with rage. He slammed his fist down on the table, making the test results jump. "Stop it! Just stop lying!" he shouted, his voice raw with emotion. "I... I can't take this anymore!"The woman's eyes filled with tears, but she held her ground. "I'm not lying!" she insisted, her voice growing louder. "I... I would never do that to you."Just take a deep breath and calm down

CHAPTER 30
Epic 30"I struggled to contain my frustration as the suspect remained silent, refusing to speak. I couldn't understand why he wouldn't talk to me. It was maddening! With a heavy sigh, I turned to leave, only to see Timi standing in the doorway, their faces pale. I knew they had something important to tell me. I gestured for them to follow me outside, and we walked to a quiet corner of the station.""Where's Dan?" I whispered to Timi, my brow furrowed."He doesn't know I'm here. He stormed off, angry as a hornet's nest. Apparently, he found out we're not really related." Timi's voice was hushed as if he was afraid of being overheard.The station was eerily quiet, the only sound the faint hum of the fluorescent lights overhead. The air felt heavy like a storm was brewing. My stomach was in knots, and I had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.Timi's eyes widened, and he grabbed my arm, pulling me toward the back door of the station. "We need to get out of here," he hissed.
