Thomas sat in the cathedral the following day. Maybe seeing his mom was all he needed to be sane in this world. He sat in there for over two hours, watching people walk in and make prayers and step out. He sighed. Maybe she doesn't come everyday or was he specifically hallucinating yesterday. He stood and decided to leave, but right outside the door, he stood face with her. "Mom", he smiled wildly. "Tommy", she smiled too and he hugged her. "How long have you been here?", she asked as they sat outside the cathedral. "Not so long enough, came to see you", he said. "Oh", she mouthed with a smile. "Do you always come here?", he asked. "I work in the compound but once I'm done, I go in and make a little prayer", she said. "I'll be waiting", he smiled and she nodded and walked in to make her little prayers. When she was done, she came out to meet Thomas waiting for her as he said. "Are you headed home now?" He asked. She hesitated abit, "yeah". Thomas knew asking outright i
The heck was actually going on??? Denzel looked around, Winston wasn't among the cops, and who the fuck was Seraphin Garcia??? "There must be a mistake somewhere, you have the wrong person. I don't even know who Seraphin whoever is??" Denzel tried to explain but he was cuffed and bundled out. His freedom now was surely over. He was to be held in jail till his trial. "You honestly do not come off as the dangerous type Mr Williams", Diana was seated before him. "Who are you?" Denzel asked. Diana stared at him and chuckled, "are you trying to be funny?" "Please help me", Denzel launched forward, scaring Diana the more. "I don't know what's going on with me. Ever since my wife died, I barely remember doing things or going anywhere. Most times it's as though I'm in a trance or a deep sleep and next I wake up. I'm somewhere else. I don't know what to do. I need help please. Trust me I don't even know who this Garcia is or might be". His eyes were teary. Diana just stared at him. S
"you have to let me out?" Thomas began pleading."She's your mom?""Of course she's my mom! What happened to her?" Diana didn't understand a thing. She rose to her feet."I want to know what happened. Who killed her?!"Diana spared him one last glance before leaving finally.Thomas was taken back to his cell. Diana went back to her office. In all her tears as a lawyer, she has experienced drunks, people with different mental issues but not what she saw today. The look in his eyes, his entire personality. "Mom", she repeated the words.Every inch of her being was itching to investigate more, but that wasn't the plan right. But what if he's innocent as he said. What was she missing? What was that look in his eyes???She sighed and tried to shove the thoughts aside.Work was almost over but Diana didn't know peace. It haunted her. She took her phone and dialled Winston. He's in charge of the case, maybe she's going to run and investigation after all.*****"That's all there is", Wi
"Tania", she gasped and held onto her immediately."Bitch, fuck off!!" The lady pushed her hard that she landed on her butt. Her tears resumed. She had begun hallucinating things.She walked slowly into the mall and got all she needed. She was driving back home when she couldn't take it anymore. She made a quick turn and headed to Deborah's."Sophie?" Deborah called surprised."Mom", she hugged her and cried."What's going on? What's wrong?" She led her inside and onto the couch."Tania's dead. I feel so lonely and scared", she cried.Deborah sighed, she had released enough tears and she had consoled herself. She promised not to shed another tear but fight for her daughter's justice, to make sure the one who sent her to the grave goes to the grave."I do too Sophie, but we'd get him. Conrad did this. That monster", Deborah gritted.Sophie lost the courage again.She came here hoping to open up to Deborah, she was dying slowly on the inside but how was she to tell this woman to her fa
"park"."We met at the park", Sophie answered so fast as though she'd caught on the idea of Diana suspension."I took Tania to the park and you know children and meeting other kids. They were playing together", Deborah explained."Was she with anyone?" That was the next question tugging at Diana's lips but she didn't voice it. She simply nodded and looked around."How often is your husband home?" She asked."He has friends around though he usually isn't the outgoing type but working as a plumber keeps him busy", Deborah said."Is there really no tangible evidence to prove Denzel is guilty?" She asked wanting to be sure.Diana didn't answer her question, she exhaled and asked her final question before she'd take her leave. She wasn't expecting to meet Sophie here."How well do you know your husband?" Deborah was taken aback abit, but she thought it through before answering."I met Conrad at a convenience store, and after that, we just kept bumping into each other randomly. We began to
Winston finished his narration to Diana and she nodded."I need someone to keep an eye on Mr Johnson for me. If we're going to get him then we'd need strong evidence". She said."Keep an eye on Ms. Harmsworth too. I'd also need a brief everything on everyone working at the hotel where Tania worked". She said before ending the call."I surely do hope I know what I'm doing", she exhaled.She badly wants to drop all these and do as she was told, but the look in Denzel's eye. The fear of locking up an innocent man and something more. One more thing she couldn't identify yet.All of that led her down this pathway."Denzel Williams", she smacked her lips.She'd to run a psychology test on this guy. Know how long he'd been battling with this personality issue. If it's a front or actually true.Could he have actually killed his wife without knowledge of it.She lied to his mother-in-law. The footage of him leaving the house that same night and the clothes in his house was enough to put him be
Three days more to Denzel's trial and as the day drew closer, Diana wanted to pull out.There wasn't much to help him with, and she was so sure that his case with seraphin Garcia would come up, she didn't have much evidence to help him with.Diana sighed.To top it all, last night she had a crazy dream about one next murder.She shook her head. Denzel was held in jail, so that would be impossible.She picked up the copy of the file concerning Madam Garcia. The delivery guy that lives next door reported her death.According to him, he usually helped her around the house with stuffs asides delivering packages to her, he alerted the police and the last person seen in her house was Denzel. A few people at church testified that both of them had left the church together.She remembered Denzel call her Mom..She stood abruptly, grabbing her keys, she sped off the jail center where he was held.She sat as they brought him out."Hey", she smiled as a form of greeting."Hey", Thomas sounded real
A day left till trial......Diana didn't bother looking up as she voiced, "come in", to whoever that was knocking from the outside.The door opened and Winston walked in.His face had no smiles."You stopped taking my calls", he said."I believe so much I bought my cellphone myself and with my money", she said, still not sparing him a glance but flipping through her files."Are you just gon' let him go like that?""Why is this one man so important to you?" Diana finally looked up, tired of hearing Denzel's name and his case."Because he's innocent"."And he is not your brother detective Winston", Diana scoffed, "If he is innocent as you said, you never should have arrested him"."We can save this man", Winston said ignoring her comment."Put heads together...."And do what exactly? Know your place Winston".Winston stared at her unbelievably. Yes! Truly, he asked himself the same question every single day. *Why do I care so much*He asked himself that every single time."We still
