Epic 52It wasn't an easy plan to relocate to another place. I couldn't even visit Michael as my whole body was just paining me. “Do you think she is going to attack Michael today?”. I whispered to Leo, on our way to the new flat.“I can't tell. I believe you know her better. But, left for me. I would rather have us attack first, and save Michael. Because if we keep watching out for her, the day she will finally attack, I doubt that day ever coming. Who knows, she might even attack during the daytime. Possibly, send someone to execute the plan for her”. He mumbled.“Hmm! So... When do you think will be best, for us to attack?”. “I can not tell for now, because we are not yet armed. We will have to set out our plans so that our plan will go smoothly”. He said as I nodded my head.“You have an idea. We should attack tomorrow”. I said as he looked at me surprised.“Tomorrow?! Isn't that too early?”. He said as I looked at him confused.“I thought you were making suggestions about us le
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 71Leo seemed to have heard my shout as he immediately ran inside.sighting the full of blood that was rushing out of my head Leo immediately attacked my aunty, while I struggled to catch my breath. It was indeed a tough fight between Leo and my aunt. I didn't know a woman could have such strength. I almost pitied Leo at some point. But, I couldn't stand up to join them in the fight, I was still struggling to stop myself from bleeding too much.While I sat down, and observe the two of them fighting, I noticed she carried up a heavy stone to hit Leo, I had to scream his name, for him to dodge it, and on the same ground, I used the last strength in me to carry up a heavy wooden stick and landed it on her head. She screamed so much in pain, as she tried to attack me, but Leo quickly hit her.We joined forces together and put her in her place.Blood was coming out of her nose and mouth, and she began to pant profusely, even though she kept laughing at us as if whatever pain it was sh
Epic 71I screamed so loud in pain that I didn't even know when I hit her with the edge of my gun. “You must be crazy, thinking you'd do away with this”. I exclaimed while still in deep pain.“I am not afraid of anything, let alone a mere church rat. Now you have me in your custody, treat me to your satisfaction because If I am to get out of here, it will be a merciless death for you”. She said as I kept looking at her in pain“You know, I am happy to die now, I am happy I killed all my enemies, before ending this sorrowful life”. She said while laughing.“Yeah, you did a good job, it is such an awesome achievement. Don't you think so?”. I said while smiling.“Very awesome! About Benjamin?”. She let out a loud laugh as my heart began to tremble.“What happened to him? I know all you did to him, or should I say us?”. I said as she smiled at me.“You feel you know enough, don't you?”. She mumbled again, laughing.“I may not know enough, but from the little which I can testify, you are
Epic 69Just like in the movie scene Lisa and I kept staring at each other without even exchanging anything.I pleaded with one of the guys to let us go but he refused so I had to come up with an idea that I hoped would work for us.while Lisa got tired of looking at me and crying. She slept off on the chair.“I need to ease myself”. I said to one of the guys who pretended not to hear what I said.“I said I need to use the restroom”. I said again but in a deeper and angry tone.“I don't know what your plan is but you're not going anywhere, sit there and pee on yourself”. The horrible-looking guys said.“I cannot pee on myself, I need to use the restroom immediately”. I said angrily, but yet he refused to listen to me.After so much complaining, one of the guys got tired of my silly attitude and decided to take me to the restroom.It wasn't completely a restroom per se, as the big building was still very much an uncompleted one. so they took me to a little corner where I had to ease my
Epic 68“She is the one”. I said slowly.“Put it on loudspeaker”. Dinma mumbled.“I don't have the strength for that now”. I mumbled.“Is it because of me?”. Dinma said as I began to wipe her tears.“You don't have to worry too much? It isn't about you. I just don't have the strength for her calls”. I saidWithout any more words, tears started dropping from Dinma's eyes, I had cold feet and couldn't even move.“Can you for one second not think about this thing please!”. I said to Dinma who just wrapped her hands around me.“I just want to go home”. She said as Leo looked at me weirdly.“What did the doctor say about her going home?”. Leo asked as I took in a deep breath.“He didn't say anything about her going home but since the case is about her being flown out of the country then I see no reason for us to remain at the hospital”. “you should go make proper inquiries about that then”. Leo said as I left the room.After much inquiry from the doctor, he said that Dinma could go home
Epic 67While we were still taking care of Dinma for her to fully recover, we haven't still heard from my aunt or Lisa. It was quite a rough week for both Leo and me as our communications were minimized.It was a great surprise as Chijioke visited us again at the hospital. I thought he was angry at me for risking his brother-in-law's life, and the life of the sister as well.“hi”. I said to him as he sat on one of the hospital chairs.“I'm sorry for what I'm making you pass through”. I said after a while of him not replying to me.“is not your fault you have done nothing wrong, how is your sister, hope she's recovering fast?”. He said, but, I could barely say a word.“yes I am, thank you for what you did for us I wonder what would have happened to all of us if you didn't show up with the police, God bless you richly”. Dinma who seemed to be eavesdropping on our conversation said.“is nothing to thank me about. everything that I did, I did it for my twin sister and I will not stop unti
Epic 66I kept yelling inside the place where I was carried, I suppose that should be the back of a trunk. At some point when I got tired I just kept calm.“We are homeeee!”. She screamed all excited as she had me unfolded.Opening my eyes which were all blur, I could barely see where we were, not to talk of all the people that were around me. After some minutes when I finally got myself back, I was able to see clearly.“Where is this place?!”. I said equally as I got myself.“somewhere very far away from home, don't worry you are going to enjoy it here”. She laughed while trying to touch my hair but I snapped off her hands immediately.“don't touch me, you pathetic thing!”. I screamed angrily while turning around in search of Michael.“where is he? where did you take him to? Where is Michael?”. I said while looking around.“You talk too much and you ask so many questions. I do not have any business with you that is why I'm going to let you go, but you see your Sister, Michael you bet
Epic 65I was still contemplating and thinking if Micheal is turning now or maybe later, Michael was already dressed up and ready to go face my auntie single-handedly.“but you don't have the tracker yet you can't just go like that”. I mumbled before Michael looked at me with all disappointment.“oh my god, how can we forget something so crucial like that?!”. He said a bit annoyed.“don't worry I'll just have to rush down the street and get some”. Leo said while putting on his jacket and rushing out of the house.“I am sorry you're going through all this because of me I'm very very sorry”. I mumble to Michael who just looks at me and smiles.“You keep apologizing over every little thing. It is not your fault it is nobody's fault, maybe because of your auntie's selfish desire but don't worry we are going to beat her at her own game”. He said while smiling.Michael and I started gisting about the past and how life has treated him these past few days.“It's up to 30 minutes now, why is L
Epic 64getting home I was so excited that I just laid on the couch in the sitting room while waiting patiently for Leo to call me. I was so lost in thought that I slept off only to get woken up by Leo's phone call.“hey are you guys back I've been waiting for you since”. I said as I picked up the phone call.“We are on our way. guess what, Michael has been released”. Leo said so excitedly as I started jumping up from where I was.“Oh my god, this is good news, I am so so excited”. I let out.“Yeah, I can see that. You know what, you just have to prepare the best food for us because we are coming back with victory”. “I got you on this one boss”. I said while laughing.“We are already on our way. You should be fast with whatever it is that you are cooking because this is a call for celebration. See you in the next 30 minutes”. Leo said and ended the call.I was so excited that I had to rush into the kitchen and start preparing something.I kept humming different songs as I cooked the
Epic 63 Even though I acted harshly towards Leo, I was super filled with excitement, the joy of having Michael finally released from the prison is something that I don't know if I could contain having my head high and my eyes just fixed into thin air.No one can ever imagine the happiness the news has brought into my life. Indeed it's all such a peaceful and overwhelming day for me. The day didn't start so well but here it is ending so perfectly. Another thing I happened to be more concerned about was this, “is Michael aware of the wife's twin brother?!, if he is, why didn't you tell me about him?”. I said worriedly but had to shuffle it off. Anyways these are questions that should be answered tomorrow.While I was still having my head filled with thoughts, Leo knocked on my door.“come in”. I said.“Hey, I'm sorry, I know I have been a bit harsh towards you and I want to apologize”. he said while sitting beside the bed.“I may not have been the best of a friend these few days or yo
