Epic 39“Seat”, it was the D.P.O of the police. He was holding a paper, I just kept looking at him confused.“She is very stubborn and rude. Make her seat yourself”. He commanded the policemen who forcefully made me a seat while facing the D.P.O“Have this”. He said while pushing the paper toward me. I just kept looking at him angrily.“What do you want?”. I said in my bold mean tone.“I am not here for your queries. In front of you is an undertaking, and you are to sign on it”. He said as I looked at the paper in front of me.“What silly undertaking? Why should I sign it?”. I said angrily.“As I said earlier, I don't have time for your silly attitude, and neither do I have the time for this rubbish”. He said in his fierce voice, yet I refused to be moved by it. He got angry and landed a slap on my cheek while making his officers force me into signing the undertaking.“Get lost!”. He said after I signed the paper. I just angrily stood up, while gulping my spit in pain.“This way!”. T
Epic 40“Isn't this Mother's number?”. I said while looking at the strange number.“Which of the mothers?”. Dinma said as I looked at her in surprise.“Aunty I suppose. Alex's mum”. I said, terrified.“You can never be too sure. I mean, this is a new line, how possible is it that she has my number already? Please sister, I am not ready to laugh at your drama. Let's just go to bed, whoever that is calling, if it is that serious, then, the person should call back”. Dinma said while covering herself up.“It is fine. But, I will still have to cross-check because I know what I am saying”. I said while taking the number and inputting it into my phone. Just before I could even complete typing the number, my Aunt's name just popped up.“I knew it!”. I exclaimed, while almost waking Lisa up.“You knew what?”. Dinma said while still sleeping off gradually.“She is alive, that evil witch”. I said out in pain as Dinma turned and looked at me “It's late”. She whispered and continued sleeping.“Are
Epic 41.I had to hurry home immediately because of Dinma's call leading to Lisa's sickness. My heart was uneasy as I got scared, hoping that nothing had happened to my daughter.“Oga hurry up now!”. I said to the driver while tapping my hands on my lap scared.“Madam please don't disturb me, can't you see that there is a traffic jam? Do you want me to fly?”. The driver said rudely.“Please hurry up, that's all I am saying. My daughter's life is at stake”. I mumbled.“And so? I lost my daughter three days ago. Please! Let's not bring our family problem here, please! I am not the one holding you”.“Why would you say such a thing?! Because you lost your daughter, another person should lose hers right?”. Attacked one of the passengers. Others also followed suit. I just observed them, without even uttering a word again. It was a thing of grace that the driver didn't get skinned alive by the furious man who sat beside me.“All these stupid drivers that don't have sense”. Finally said the f
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
