“I remember the address, the driver did the delivery,” The old man said as he raised his brow towards Detective William.Detective William gave him a cold glance, as he clenched his jaw but he maintained his composure acting professional.“I would like to see the driver, Where is he?”“Is anything the matter, the driver is off. He went to make some deliveries to our clients.” He replied.Detective William gave him a light nod, with his eyes scanning around. “I would like to go around the store if you don’t mind and you would need to come with me for questioning.” The old man glared at him in disbelief, he was curious as well to know why a detective would come to his shop seeking to go around his store. Knowing the man would ask for a permit, Detective William brought out a white paper showing him the permit he got. The man sighed deeply, he shrugged his shoulders, stepped away from the counter and called a lady to replace him.Jason moved towards a direction and sat down as he observ
James Paterson stared at his uncle who gave him a positive nod. He cleared his throat. “These are the men that would be doing the job for us. Meet Jez and Greg.” He said pointing at each of them with the names.Patrick furrowed his brow, he shook his head. “What are they doing here? They aren’t supposed to be here with us.”“Is there any problem with us being down here?” Jez asked with a serious tone.Kelly gave Jez a cold glance and he bowed his head slightly with an apologetic outlook. He inhaled and exhaled as he leaned forward. “We are not here for this, let’s get down to business.” He said with a serious voice.We noticed since you don’t have a man to do the job for you, we decided to bring our men. Who we believe are capable for the Job.” He said sarcastically. Patrick clenched his jaw, he wasn’t interested in them until Jonathan convinced him, and after several contemplating he knew that he could easily shift the blame and not get caught, knowing they had men ready to take t
“What’s the problem,” Christian Rafael asked with his brow raised, he was curious to know why his detective friend was so worried over the phone which made him rush over to see him.“Detective William has caught the old man, I mean the owner of the fruit store.” He said with an unsteady voice.“What?” Christian screamed with frustration evident in his gaze. “How is that possible, I thought we told him not to leave a trace behind.” He said with a disappointed voice.Lovina understood what was happening, she was part of his every plan and it was because of her he took the decision.(Some weeks ago)Lovina was worried knowing Detective William was beginning to suspect her, she was scared he might find out any time soon, she informed Christian Rafael about it knowing he was willing to do anything to keep her safe.

“Sir, you made an order.”“When,” he turned to look at Lovina, who gave him a positive nod.He shrugged his shoulders, allowing the room attendant to come inside. The trolley was moved into the room slowly and placed by the side of the table, after which he placed the food and wine on the table in the middle of the room. Christian Rafael walked into the bathroom, while Lovina was tapping against her phone screen not paying attention to what the room attendant was doing. He raised his gaze and found she was not looking at him.The room attendant moved towards the side of the table, knowing he needed to be careful to avoid being caught, he placed an undetected spy camera behind the flower. He got a signal that it was in a perfect position.“What are you still doing here,” Christian Rafael asked.“Nothing, sir. I was about to leave.” He said, bowing his head, as he moved the trolly slowly.Christian followed him, and shut the door, locking it from inside before moving towards Lovina.“C
Detective William stepped forward with a mixed expression when he stopped before the manager, Jasmine Patel and Marcus Carter the production manager.“How can we help you?” She asked with her voice narrowing suspiciously.Detective William glanced at the two people standing before him with stern expressions on their faces. “Good afternoon, I am here to search the premises. We have reasons to believe there may be evidence connected to the recent poisoning incident.” He said with a steady voice, as he pulled out a search warrant and handed it to her.“Poisoning incident? How? Where? And when?” they both said in unison.The manager collected it and had her eyes scanning through the sentence written on the document before she reluctantly stepped back. Marcus Carter took the document from her and glanced at the document.They both exchanged glances at each other. Jasmine, who was sure the plantation couldn’t do as they were accused, shrugged her shoulders and stepped aside. “Very well, de
Lovina couldn’t hold her anger anymore, she murmured silently while waiting for Zander to pick up her calls. She has tried contacting him for over an hour and he has refused to pick up.“Where the hell could he be?” She said with her jaw clenched and her eyes blazing in anger. She sauntered back and forth at a slow pace, with her phone in her hand and the other hand on her hips. Looking at her phone screen she felt like smashing it against the wall. She stared at the wall clock, knowing her husband would soon be back from work. Just when she was about to take a step, her phone buzzed. She hurriedly glanced at the scene hoping it was Zander but to her surprise, it was Christian Rafael. She shook her head negatively.“What, we have an agreement not to call each other when we are at home. Do you want my husband to find out about us,” she yelled angrily.Christian Rafael inhales from his end “Calm down, Lovina. I was only calling to know if you had heard from Zander.”“No, I haven’t. T
Detective William got to the control room where he found Jay busy with his computer. “Hey, Detective William. What a surprise, it’s been a long time since I saw you in the security room. How may I help you?” He questioned softly.Detective William inhales and exhales while thinking of a way to ask Jay to help him replay the CCTV footage of the previous day.“Jay, I need your help on something. A few weeks ago I left my office in a hurry and I left a file on my desk before leaving due to an emergency at home.

He informed Jay of the date, Jay reminded him of some protocols, which he obliged to keep between them. Jay turned immediately, their eyes fixated on the screen
