****The next day****We went to the thier office to check the CCTV footages."It has been deleted sir." A man in a casual uniform spoke. His protruding belly and unshaved beards irritated me."Who was on shift that day? Why would such a video be deleted?" I yelled."I'm not the one who deleted them. I just came back on leave. Don't yell at me,I'm not your son." He yelled back."We are sorry sir but we need the footages. it's really important. It could cause an innocent person to go to jail." Gabriel explained and I rolled my eyes. I was loosing my cool already. I was on the verge of going to jail and this man was messing with me."We could retrieve them but it would take days." He said.Finally some good news."How much do you want? How much would I pay to fasten the process?" I asked."Do you think I'm not satisfied with my salary? I'm a descent man with a decent life. Don't bribe me. When my boss comes he'll sign some papers then we'll we retrive them. The computers are in his offic
"I got their hair but I don't know which is which." I said. I pulled it out from my trouser pocket."Has it been contaimed or what? Can it still be used?" I asked and Gabriel went to grab some Ziploc."I don't know. We'll ask when we take it to the hospital." Diana stated.Gabriel gave me the Ziploc and I put the two different hair in two different Ziploc."You'll go drop this in the lab tomorrow." I ordered and Diana nodded. "I hop it would be useful." ****The next day****I dressed up cladded in suit and leather shoe. We all went to court and we were called in. My lawyer and Rosa's lawyer were defending us and they were at each other's throats. "Objection." The judge yelled and the court room was silent that if a needle falls it would be heard. "Why would my client want to implicate Rosa? Give me a valid reason." My lawyer asked. "There are lots of reasons. One,he doesn't need her anymore. Two,he wants Rosa's properties all to himself and third,he impregnated her." Rosa's la
We left the court room and Rosa came and stood in front of me."You better come take responsibility for what you did or I sue you." She rubbed her belly. "That's not even mine." I said and she raised her hand then stopped when she saw the police apporcahing. "You better not dare." I glared at her. I pushed her away and walked on. I hugged my lawyer."Good job man." I patted his back."Anything for you. I'll come over tonight so we can work hand in hand. I have to go back to the office now." He said."Okay. I'm going to search for more evidence." I informed."Leave that to the police Roberto. You might get into trouble. Everything you do now is being monitored. One mistake from you and everything would be ruined." He advised."Don't worry. I'll be fine and careful." I patted his shoulder and he shrugged. "Fine then. I'll get going now." He said."Me too." We hugged for the last time and went out seperate ways.I got into the car and I was bombarded with questions by my dad and Diana
We went back to get the CCTV footages but Brookes wasn't there. We met new faces there."Good afternoon. Where is Brookes?" I asked."He hasn't arrived yet." The young man said. I was jealous of his well chiseled jaw and his Greek like body. He was muscular and fit. "When will he come in?" I asked."He's supposed to be here. He's supposed to take over from me but he is not here." He said frustrated. He's supposed to be off duty by now but Brookes was no where to be found. "Do you have his number?" I asked."Yes. I do." He said and brought out his phone from his trouser pocket. Gabriel handed my phone to me and I collected the number. I called the number and put it on speaker for everyone to hear and a feminine voice was heard. "Hello. Who's this?" The voice asked. "I'm Roberto Lionel. Where is Brookes?" "He left the house since. He's on duty today so he's off to work." She informed and I looked at the young man standing in front of me. "He left already? He is not at work yet."
****The next day****I didn't receive any call from Justin. I called him several times but his number wasn't available. i was getting worried and my head was aching. All parts of my body ached as well. I didn't get enough sleep as I was thinking. I went to the living room and one of the maids was feeding my dad breakfast."Good morning sir." She greeted and I nodded."Good morning Dad." I bowed."Good morning son. How are you?" He asked.My visions became blury again and the headache came back. My head was hurting a lot. Everywhere went pitch black. "Are you okay?" He asked and I heard footsteps approaching. "Good morning sir." Diana and Gabriel greeted.I tried searching for the chair to sit but I didn't want anyone to know my temporary blindness has come. Gabriel held my hand and made me seat."Whenever it comes,let us know sir. You can't keep putting us in the dark." He said. "What happened?" My dad questioned "His temporary blindness sir." Gabriel answered. Wish I could roll
They were still searching the living room for what must have been dropped in my house when the maid ran into my room."The police are here sir. I told you. The man had dropped something that can implicate you." She whispered. "Why are they here?" I asked."They wouldn't say until they see you. You have to escape sir." She said. "Escape?" I repeated."Yes sir. We don't want you to go to prison so we've planned. Some people are waiting outside while some of us are stalling the police. I'll help you through the back door sir." She said. "There's no need for that. Let me go with them. The truth would always prevail." I said. "No sir. You can't go to jail now. Don't you get sir. Do you know what the guy must have planted in the house?" She almost yelled. "I know you guys care a lot about me but I have to go with them. Running away would make things worse and make me look like I'm truly guilty." I explained. "Sir." She cried."I'll be fine. Just take me out." I ordered and she did."Mr
They all left me all alone in the detention room. I rubbed my forehead in frustration. "What's going on here? Am I going to be released on bail?" I yelled but no one answered. ***Winchester's pov****After interrogating Mr Lionel for a long time,I and Roy left him inside. "Do you see some truth in what he is saying?" I rested my hands on my waist. "I believe nothing. There's nothing that man would say that would convince me." Roy yelled. "Is there anything more to this case? You are acting as if its personal." I almost yelled. "Just leave me and do your job well. Stop acting like you've been bribed." He yelled at me. "What? Me? Bribe? What do you take me for?" I questioned and he glared at me. "If you think letting Mr Lionel go and being on his good side would give you a promotion,or sky rocket your career,you lie." He said and I was confused. "You've crossed your boundary. I'm the leader of this case and I say you are out of my team." I pointed at him. "Who wants to be on yo
The call dropped and I gasped."Let's call someone else. I don't think this man can help you." He said."Maybe the police is the best option." "The police isn't the best option but there's no harm in trying." I said. He was about to call the police when Roberto called again. He picked immediately."I couldn't hear you. Why do you say I have to see you? Do you want to threaten me again?" He asked."It's me Madison. Please come save me." I said."Madison!Where are you? What's happening tell me?" He yelled."I don't know where I am. All I know is Rosa and her mom kidnapped me." I whispered. "What? I knew it! Can you describe where you are? Do you know where you are? Are there any distinct features I can use to get the place?" He asked. "I don't know. Honestly. I have no idea." I said. "Just help us." The man beside me spoke."Who's that?" He asked."It's me. I'm Brookes." The man yelled."Hush!" I signalled him."We've been searching for you too Brookes. infact I've been detained in
