Epic 42As I woke up from my deep slumber, the first thing that greeted me was the soft glow of dawn filtering through the curtains. The room was still enveloped in a hazy darkness, and the quietness of the early morning hung in the air. The world outside seemed to be in a state of slumber, with only a few early birds chirping their melodies.I stretched my limbs, feeling a mix of grogginess and anticipation for the day ahead. The room was adorned with shelves filled with books, my trusty companions in this journey called life. The scent of freshly brewed coffee wafted from the kitchen, inviting me to indulge in its warm embrace.Just as I was about to make my way to the kitchen, my brother's ringtone pierced through the tranquillity of the morning. Annoyed yet curious, I answered the call, hoping it was something important to warrant such an early interruption."Hello?" I groggily muttered into the phone, my voice still laced with sleep.And then, in a hushed and urgent tone, my brot

Epic 44It was finally our departure day, Jasmine was all looking professional and sweet, and the sun was just beginning to set as the plane touched down at Murtala Mohammed International Airport. I peered out the window, my heart fluttering with excitement and anticipation. As the plane taxied to a stop, I looked over at Jasmine and smiled. We were finally back in our home country, after spending so many weeks away.As we made our way through the airport, I couldn't help but feel a rush of memories and emotions. It had been weeks yet felt like years since I had last set foot in Nigeria, and everything felt so familiar and yet so new.It was after a long and exhausting flight, Jasmine decided to stop by at Abuja, rather than continue to Lagos with me. As we said our goodbyes at the airport, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness. Despite the promise of a visit soon, I knew it wouldn't be the same without her by my side.I watched as she walked away, her suitcase rolling behind he

Epic 46Timi didn't come back home, I had pleaded with him not to so that Jasmine could sleep over.“We need to get a DPO for the station”. Jasmine had said after a while. “New?!”. I asked surprised as she nodded her head gently, I need to make Inspector John and the DPO don't get to hold any crucial office anymore.“But we don't even have any evidence to do that”. I suggested“Yeah, we don't have evidence for my uncle's case, but we have evidence for your forced demotion due to his corrupt self”. I could feel the anger in her voice.“What evidence do you have?”. I let out confused.“You don't need to know, we will see to that at the panel”. She said delightedly.“You don't have to stress yourself over the demotion, I mean, I can cope. It is not a new thing and I am not the first person to have such an experie…”“Don't get me angrier, please… so because you are not the first person, that means the evil should continue?! Does that mean they should go unpunished for their unjust act?!

Epic 48Kyrian and Timi walked side by side as they made their way back from the train station, their excitement palpable in the air. Both of them had just been promoted at the office, with Kyrian becoming the new DPO (Divisional Police Officer) and Timi as his assistant. It was a significant milestone in their careers, and they couldn't wait to celebrate.As they strolled through the bustling streets of Umuowa, Kyrian turned to Timi with a mischievous grin. "Hey, Timi, what do you say we go grab a drink to celebrate our new roles? We deserve it!"Timi chuckled, nodding in agreement. "Absolutely, Kyrian! A celebration is in order. Let's find a cool spot to relax and unwind."They continued walking until they stumbled upon a cosy coffee shop called "Java Junction." The aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air, inviting them inside. The shop had a rustic charm, with wooden tables and comfortable leather chairs arranged in a way that encouraged conversations and relaxation.

Kyrian and Timi sat in their cosy office, surrounded by stacks of files and evidence from their ongoing cases. The room was dimly lit, with the warm glow of a desk lamp casting a soft light on their work area. The atmosphere was filled with an air of anticipation, as they were engrossed in discussing their latest breakthrough.Suddenly, a knock echoed through the room, breaking their concentration. They exchanged curious glances before Kyrian rose from his chair and made his way to the door. As he swung it open, a tall, imposing figure stood before him. It was none other than ex-Inspector Bami.The atmosphere in the room shifted instantly. The air became charged with a mix of tension and respect as Bami stepped inside. His presence commanded attention, and his piercing gaze seemed to scrutinize every detail of the office. Kyrian and Timi exchanged a glance, unsure of the reason for Bami's visit. Bami was known for his unyielding dedication to the law, and his visits were often seen as
