"Honey"-----no answer "honey"-----still no answer "honey!!! " "Yeah yeah yeah...you don't need to yell you know, I heard you the first time " "Oh really?" Margaret stared at her absent minded husband whose eyes were still glued to his phone. "You do know you are late for work right?" Margaret asked still staring at her husband, this time a hint of impatience was evident in her eyes. "You were yelling just to tell me that?" Bob reluctantly tore his eyes away from his phone only to behold the growing annoyance in his wife's glare. "Oh come on.....am only a few minutes behind schedule, besides Michael would come pick me up". "Well, he's not gonna 'pick you up' while you are still in your shorts, now would he?...besides why would you always believe everything Michael says...what if he doesn't come?" "Well, he will come" Bob replied confidently, still nonchalant to move from his position. "Well, I demand that you get dressed for work young man" "Give me a break, am half dresse

"Abe!!" after gaining back his thoughts, Gabe couldn't help but call out to Abe who was still dazed on the collapsed sofa. He snapped his head back to Tina whom was now walking towards him with that strange look in her eyes. "Hold it right there kid!" Gabe couldn't help but take a fighting stance 'Wait, am feeling threatened by a five year old girl?!' "Gabe! What just happened?!" Abe stood up slowly while massaging his swollen left cheek. "Abe, you okay buddy?!" Gabe replied, quite relieved to hear his partner's voice, but still kept his eyes on the strangely calm little girl. "I will repeat again, who sent you?" Tina spoke again "That box in your hands, how do you know that it was here?" Tina asked pointing at the box that Gabe was holding. "Answer me!!" this time Tina's voice showed her anger. "What the hell little girl?!" Abe couldn't make sense of what was going on "I don't know what you are talking about little girl, but I suggest you stop this foolishness or you'll get

Officer Stanley raised an eyebrow "is that all?". "Pardon?" "Is that all you kept in the safe?" "Of course, that's it" Bob said spreading his arms. Officer Stanley scanned Bob's face for a few seconds before shifting his gaze to Michael who seemed to have no idea of what was going on. Nodding his head thoughtfully, he opened the safe and took out a panel revealing a hollow compartment. "We found this during our investigation, which explains the fact that there was something of significant value which was carefully hidden within this safe". Shifting his gaze from the safe back to Bob, he asked "ring any bells?" With a more confused look on his face, Bob shook his head, "no it doesn't, moreover....." pointing to the hollow compartment "I don't remember that being there when I installed the safe" "What do you mean?" "I mean it wasn't there when I first got this safe, I would have remembered it" Officer Stanley seemed to fall in deep thought. "Please believe me, I have nothing

Staring at her elegant figure, Tisane couldn't help but imagine holding her in his arms. Even if it's just for a second, it would all be worth it. 'Oh Melvina....so pure, so beautiful' Tisane felt his heart beat faster and his face become very hot and flushed. As he was having his romantic fantasies..... "Hey everyone! Tisane's here. Time to get this party started!" Ibrahim's yell was like a grenade blasting away David's romantic thoughts. Turning his gaze to Ibrahim, Tisane had the urge to palm his face when he saw Ibrahim stupidly smiling and winking at him. 'Gosh.....this is so embarrassing' Tisane thought, hoping Melvina didn't catch on to the awkward atmosphere. "Is that you Tisane?" "Oi, Ibrahim's right, it really is Tisane!" "Haha....so you finally arrived Tisane?!" Due to Ibrahim's yell, Tisane's arrival became known to everyone. "Well, well Tisane you took your sweet time!" Bayo said as he came over. Tisane smiled as he saw his childhood friend embrace him in a

"Mum," Esther stared at her mother as she was about to finish eating. "Yes dear" Elizabeth raised her head to look at her daughter. "Um...." Esther seemed to hesitate. "Have you heard from Brother Tisane recently?" Elizabeth's expression seemed to drop when she heard her daughter's question. Nodding her head, she replied "Yes, I spoke to him on the phone not too long ago before you both arrived" "Really?" Esther and Joyce chorused. "How is he? When will he be coming home?" Seeing how concerned her daughters were over their senior brother's welfare, Elizabeth's heart couldn't help but feel happy. Only if Tisane realise how much they care about him. "He's fine" said Elizabeth as she answered her daughters' questions. "But am not sure when he will be coming home" Her second answer carried a lot of meanings that Esther and Joyce exchanged glances as they grasped some of those meanings. "Don't worry, he is going to be alright. He just need to have some experiences out there" Th
