Epic 42“Leo, just calm down”. I mumbled.“I am sorry sweetheart but I am not going to calm down”. He shouted.“Are you guys blind or what? This doctor wants to kill us, he wants to kill Lisa”. He said while panting furiously.“I know, we all know that, no one is doubting you. All I am saying is that you should calm down. That's all. If you keep ranting, none of us will figure out what to do next. So, all I am saying is for you to calm down”. I said while going close to him and rubbing his back gently.“I am sorry”. He mumbled, after a deep breath, and left the room.“I am sorry for what he did”. I whispered to Dinma who was still scared.“Is Daddy okay?”. Lisa said with tears that rolled back behind her ears.“No, not at all, Daddy is not okay”. I said as Lisa increased her cry.“Why?”. She whispered in her crying tone.“Because, you are crying. He couldn't stand your tears, so he left”. I said as she tried to clean her eyes before I stopped her while helping her to do it.“Tell Dadd
Epic 43After so many attempts of calling Leo without him picking up, I finally gave up. “Maybe he doesn't want us to go out. Did you tell him about going to see Michael?”. Dinma said as I looked at her and nodded my head.“That isn't so much a big deal for him to lock the gate, and even avoid my calls”. I said a bit angry.“Well, if I am to say, that is enough reason for him to do so. I mean, why would you even be thinking about leaving, when you know the situation of things”. Dinma said as I looked at her shocked.“You did collide with Leo right? You have the spares, don't you?”. I said while going closer to her.“Of course I do”. Dinma said as I started smiling.“I knew it. I knew it would be very impossible for Leo to just lock the gate like that, without dropping any spare key behind”. I said as Dinma looked at me disgusted.“We are both on the same page. More reason, while it would be extremely easy to unlock the gate which was locked outside, from the inside”. Dinma said as I
Epic 44I got to Abuja so early. I thanked God it was something I had to come up with a flight for.I had to ask around for the Prison, and I got a few directions about it. After I finally made it inside the prison. I asked them for Micheal, which the policeman went to fetch. I was just so irritated, everything looked disgusting. Their environment was not close to being neat, as the prison, I stayed in.“Is this the Micheal you are looking for?”. The policeman said as he came out with an aged-looking man.“No”. I replied, before describing to him.“Are you his wife, mother, or Sister?”. The officer said as I looked at him smiling.“None of the above Sir. I am just his friend. My name is Angel. Once you call my name, he will know that I am the one”. I said with a smile as the policemen left without saying anything.“Wow! See who we have here, I thought I have been abandoned by everyone”. Micheal said as he came out. I didn't even care what he was saying, I just ran and gave him a warm
Epic 45I kept looking at Micheal with all seriousness. Who is that? Who is Andrew Jacobs? What did he do? Is he another person I should be looking for? This mission is getting harder than I expected.“Tell me what I need to know, why I must know Andrew Jacobs, and why he is so vital in these details?”. I said as Micheal looked at me with a one-sided smile.“You can't find him”. He said “But you said he lives in the ghetto”. I said with the confusion that was written all over me.“Yeah, but you can't find him”.“If you are certain I can't find him, why then did you tell me to pass the information across to him?”. I said, a bit pissed.“It was a reassurance to my spirit”. He said as I shook my head in disbelief.“Can you just tell me who this Andrew Jacobs is, and what he has to do with what is going on?”. I said a bit angry as he looked at me and smiled.“You run faster than your shadow”. He said in a low silent tone. Does he even realize my family is in great danger?“I am sorry,
Epic 46“So what is the deal now? I can't let her kill my only sister”. I said but he just looked at me and smiled.“Attack the prison and make me escape”. He whispered while looking around to check if the policemen were watching.“How am I going to do that?”. I whispered.“You have to scramble out some plan, and you must do it, as soon as possible”. He said as I fixed my gaze on one of the policemen who was beginning to suspect us.“I am going back today, remember?!”. I said while noticing how angry he became.“I am not a dummy. I know. The plan is this, you will have to go home and think of how this will be done. Or, I have an idea. Why don't you stay for the week? Come back on Sunday, and I will give you the plan for this prison. I will also guide you on how the process would be done”. He said as I became uneasy.“But...”“But wh—at?!”. He said annoyed while banging his hand on the table gently, as he controlled his emotions. While gnashing his teeth in anger.“Do you want your sis
Epic 47“So, what is it you want to tell me?”. I said blushing, immediately we got into the car.“Umm! I don't know how you will feel about it though”. He said, trembling a little. I even got scared if he knew what he was doing.“What is it that you don't know how I will feel about it? I mean, how would I know how to feel, if you don't tell me? Besides, why are you fidgeting? Hope nothing has happened to Lisa”. I said a bit scared as he shook his head immediately.“God forbid! Nothing has and will happen to her. It is something abstract to what you must be thinking right now”. He said as I relaxed.“Okay, if that is the case, why don't you let me know about it?”. I said while opening one of the chocolates to start eating already.“I want us to hang out tomorrow”. He mumbled as I looked at him surprised.“Tomorrow?! Won't you be going to work tomorrow?”. I said, a bit confused.“Not at all, I already resigned from work”. He said as I paused eating my chocolates.“What?!!!”. I screamed
Epic 48.After I finished dressing Lisa for the day, I had my shower, while having dinma help me out in sorting out the best wear for the outing. I didn't know how I felt initially, but when I got into the car and promised Lisa who almost started crying that I was going to get her a gift, Everything felt different and relaxing as Leo drove me around the city of Lagos.“So, where would you like us to go?”. He said as I looked at him blushing.“What do you want me to say? It was all your idea, isn't it? So... You should be the one to make a better suggestion, to where you find convenient enough”. I said as he started humming.“Mmm... Where should we go, where should we go...?”. He kept saying while tapping his hands on his car. “Yep! I think I have an idea of where we are going to go?”. He said as I still kept smiling at him.“It's your day, so... Do as you wish”. I said, smiling at him.“Sure. Thanks”. He said as I watched him drive while feeding my eyes on things that were around.“W
Epic 49We got home while preparing for Andrew's arrival. Leo and I already bought some sleeping pills for him. I had to sprinkle a little in Lisa's food so that she would doze off and not spoil the plan. While I hid in the secret room, immediately Leo gave me a sign that he was around. The Andrew dude looked more like a ruthless criminal. He was all dressed in black, with his face cap which he later removed, when he was exchanging greetings with Leo. While I hid and enjoyed their conversation flow, Leo decided to offer him something to eat, before they could go into the business. But he stopped taking anything. After a long while of Leo mapping out his framed plan, he requested water, which Leo didn't hesitate to give him. Unknown to him, his water has already been drugged, after some time of drinking it, he dozed off and we immediately tied him up.When he woke up, he was still trying to recover from what was going on, as his vision was still blurred.“Leo”. He whispered after he
