Epic 53While I went home to protect my family, Leo stayed behind, to save Leo.I was so scared, as I drove down the lonely streets of Abuja, till I got home.There she was, the little witch. “What do you want this time? What are you doing in my home?”. I said as she started laughing.“Home?!!! The last time I checked, you were based in Lagos. What are you doing in Abuja?”. She said looking surprised.“Whatever it is that I am doing in Abuja, is none of your business. Please, leave my home”. I said angrily.“Really?! You shouldn't sound harsh. Well, you aren't educated, so... What was I expecting?”. She said, giggling.“Well, I only came to say hello, I got the news that I now have a new neighbor. Who could have known, that it would be you”. She said while gently clapping her hands, in shock.“Neighbor?!”. I said even more surprised.“Surprising right?! Well, I am glad I got you that expression”. She said laughing.“Neighbour or not, I want you to leave my house. Besides, who visits s
Epic 54“What did he say?”. Leo asked immediately after I came out of the D.P.O's office. “He walked me out. I told you, didn't I? I told you she is working with them! They are all the same. Bunch of hooligans!”. I screamed out, as some of the police officers looked at me.“We will have to go to the state CID then”. Leo suggested.“Would he be better? They are all the same. Instead of wasting time, trying to find another useless solution I will rather go save my sister myself”. I said angrily“I know you are angry, but you have to calm down. Let's go to the state CID first”. Leo said as I just looked at him, and walked away.Slamming the car door, I was just furious. I was boiling in pain. I was so lost that I didn't notice Lisa who was crying until Leo came inside while looking at me surprised.“Lisa is crying”. He said as he tapped me. I had to jerk in shock.“You have to take things easy”. He said as I tried to make Lisa stop crying.“I think she is hungry”. He replied as I looked
Epic 55Just like I had expected, the prison got attacked, for the second time. I was just smiling all through. “Did you hear the news?”. Leo said as he walked into the room, where I was just seated.“Which one in particular?”. I said blushing.“The station attack or is there any other attack you know, that I am not aware of?”. He said as I started laughing “Of course not, well, I did hear of the news, could there be a little spice to the one I heard already”. “Nothing really, just the normal story that the prisons got attacked and I didn't seem to get into details, how it happened”. He said before my phone started ringing.“Who is that?”. I said while looking at Leo, as my phone was beside him.“Unknown”. He said.“Ow!”, I said, while going to take the phone.“Hello!”. I said as I picked up the call.“Hello! Is this Mrs. Angel? The wife of Mr.Leo...?”. The caller said as I looked at my phone's screen.“Yes, I am Mrs. Angel and you are?”. I said, a bit mean.“I am Mr. Bayomi, the
Epic 56While I was walking out of the prison, I saw lots of armored cars entering the building, with lots of police and army officers in it. This could be the strict precautions the DPO was talking about. I doubt they even know what they are being signed up for. Gently, I walked back to the car.“You finished so early”. Leo said as I looked at him smiling.“That is because I wasn't allowed to see Micheal. They seem to be strict on visitations, because of the recent happenings”. I said as Leo just blushed.“Not like it will change anything. Anyways, let's face the problem in front of us. We still have Dinma, to rescue”. He said as I nodded while noticing Lisa who was sleeping at the back.“Any update on the tracking machine?”. He said as I funnily rolled my eyes.“Not really, I haven't checked it. Maybe when we get home. Tracking it now, will not change anything” I said.“Are you still worried about our wedding?”. I said, after a long silence. He just looked at me smiling.“What?! Nev
Epic 57I kept looking at Leo confused because I wasn't understanding what he was lamenting, and neither was I comfortable with his expression.“What is wrong? Just speak up. Who is the agent involved in this house?”. I said as he was also getting me confused.“Well, it is a friend”. He said as I nodded while anticipating more answers.“Is that all? He is a friend? What kind of friend is he?”. I said more anxious while noticing how scared he looked“I am sorry Angel”. He mumbled as my heart started beating fast. Another betrayal?! What is going on?“Sorry for what exactly?”. I said while trying to get hold of myself.“I don't know how to explain, but, I just hope you understand”. He said while starting to cry.“Well, you don't expect me to understand, when you haven't even given me an explanation as to why I am not supposed to be angry. Or are you also working for my Aunt?”. I said.“God forbid! Never will I!”. He screamed out immediately. At this point, my nerves calmed down. I don
Epic 58Just as planned, we woke up, as early as possible, and took off to the airport, even while Lisa was still sleeping. I wasn't myself until we got to the supposed house of people who are to be taking care of my daughter. I was pretty certain they saw how unhappy I was because I had cried immediately after we entered Imo State. I tried the best I could, just to make Lisa stop crying, while we were leaving, but she didn't. I just had to stay with her for some time, before we left after she slept off. Just while we got to the airport to book a flight, I got a call from the D.P.O leading to information about my sister and his wife. Because of the sudden demand, we had to return to the park, and not spend a day as we had planned.“You need to stop with your cry. Lisa will be okay, remember, this is for her good. I am pretty certain Lisa will never blame you for anything”. Leo said while we got into the car, and I bent my head crying.“People are watching, you need to pull yourself t
Epic 59“Why are you looking at me that way?”. Leo said after a while, as I started blushing.“Can we go back to the station?”. I mumbled in a low tone as he looked at me confused.“Do you mean Station or Prison?”. He said while still looking at me confused.“I mean the Station”. I mumbled shyly.“I thought you do not want to have anything to do with the station and the D.P.O again?”. He said as I just rolled my eyes.“Well, let's say that was my initial decision, but I have changed my mind”. I said as he kept looking at me confused.“This is all confusing. What happened? Why the sudden change? Aren't you angry anymore?”. He said as I managed to smile, hoping he could just stop asking so many questions and do a U-turn.“I just got a message from the D.P.O, that they have found her, so I need to go find out who, or what in particular they had found”. I said before Leo looked at me with confusion while focusing back on the road.I knew he was going to turn back, even though his heart wa
Epic 60“Aren't you going to say anything about Lisa?”. I finally opened up, after a long time.“I was waiting for you to ask”. He said as I looked at him surprised.“Are you serious right now?! This is something I have been asking since I walked into this dining! You know what...?”. I mumbled while relaxing a bit.“Let me not create an issue over this. Let me have it that I didn't ask for. But now, I am asking, ``what if you want to tell me about my daughter?”. I said calmly.“Sure. Let's not make it a big deal. Hope you are enjoying the meal by the way?”. He said with a supposed cute smile.“I am. Thanks for the meal, but can you just go straight to the point? I hope Lisa is fine anyways”. I said while drinking the tabled water which was placed on the table.“Sure. You look beautiful by the way”. He said as I looked at him while trying to understand where he was driving to.“What in the world are you talking about?”. I said while trying to hold back the burning heat in me.“I am say
