“What is it John?” I asked. "The doctors just told me it’s today.” He replied. "What is today?” I asked with utter confusion. "My son, my son’s surgery is today. I just received a call from my wife and she told me that the doctors just confirmed that they will be taking him in for the surgery, I am truly nervous.” John added. "Today, wow, that’s fast. Don’t be scared, everything is going to be fine.” I added. "I hope so but I am still so scared, I don’t think I can handle it alone. I feel scared and you are the only person I had told what I was going through who I feel I can turn to for help, can you please come to the hospital this evening.” He added. I was baffled by his request and at the same time I completely understood him. I had a lot to do today but instead I am at a party. I didn’t really want to be here, I was just here for Sarah and on the other hand I have to catch up with the investigations of Pain’s sister kidnapping, it was just crazy. Then I started to scout th
The Lotus Group had two faces, first the face they show to the outside world and the other one that can only be seen with an opened eye. In other words, they are the worst set of people to deal with because, many won’t be on your side.Trina and Pain had tied up the guy they had put in the trunk, under the garage of Trina’s house, they had also blind folded him. "Did you send the message to him?” Pain asked Trina. "Yes I just did, I hope he sees it on time, he might still be busy.” Trina replied. "Should we start?” Pain asked anxiously as the tension was getting to him. "Let’s wait for him, in the main time let me get my toy case ready just in case it's needed.” Trina replied as the man shook in fear. "This should not be too difficult.” Pain let out. I got to Sarah’s house, it was some minutes to 5pm in the evening. I carried her in as she still couldn’t walk properly. "What happened to her?” The head security asked. "I am fine, I just sprained my leg a little, so Tony is hel
I called Trina several times but she wasn’t answering, I then decided to call Pain but he wasn’t answering either. I got to Trina’s house some minutes past 9pm. I knocked on the door upon my arrival and Trina opened up. "Tony, we were waiting for you, what happened?” Trina asked. "You know what never mind, Pain is already trying to get him to talk, but I am afraid he will kill him.” Trina said, interrupting before I could respond. “I tried to tell Pain to calm down, but he beat the guy into a pulp and I doubt the guy can even talk properly.” Trina added."Where are they now?” I asked a little bit out of breath. Trina led me to her garage and I saw Pain holding a hammer and nail. "Now look, you still don’t want to talk, I will nail your hand to this table if you don’t tell me where they are keeping the girls!” Pain shouted. The guy was already bleeding from the head and mouth, it looked like Pain had really beaten him up, Pain was so concentrated that he didn’t even realize when
"Is there any problem ma’am?” Phillippe shouted. Trina turned and saw him, I knew he had seen her before but I hoped he wouldn’t recognise her. She was wearing a disguise but what if he still recognises her. "Are you deaf, I am asking you, what are you doing here?” He asked further. “I am just asking for directions sir, I am looking for my boyfriend’s house and he said it's somewhere around here.” Trina said, trying not to show fear and play the part good enough. "Well, does this place look like your boyfriend’s house? Didn’t they tell you not to wonder about a street alone? You are so young and pretty, are you alone?” Phillippe asked, looking around if anyone was there. He started to lean forward towards Trina, Trina moved backwards acting shy and naïve. "Yes sir I am alone; I don’t know if I will ever find my boyfriend's house now.” She added. "It’s, ok it's ok, just come with us, we will take care of you till tomorrow then you can go back home once it's dawn." Trina knew th
Phillippe stared at me in shock. "You again, what are you doing here?” Philippe shouted angrily. “I see now, now I know why that girl looked familiar, she was with you that day wasn’t she?” "Why are you guys always trying to ruin things for me, what does this even have to do with you?” He was irritated by the whole scenario. I remained silent looking at him disgusted. "What does this have to do with me? Taking innocent girls away from their homes and family, to sell to strangers who might use them as sex slaves, house maids and all sorts has nothing to do with me?” I asked, even more disgusted as he was trying to play innocent. "Is your family here? Are any of your relatives here? No, so what the heck is your problem? Do you think you can get me like you did the other time? Look, the other time I was not prepared but this time, you are outnumbered, just leave while you still can walk.” He said, smirking. I ran straight to him and landed a very big punch on his nose. "You basta
I had the thought of picking my phone to dial Paula’s number. I should have really taken my own advice by not getting attached to anyone but what can I do in this case. I am not even this attached to my real family members, but John was really good to me when I was still Dumebi having not a single clue to who I was, if I had any family or where I came from. He was really there to help me through my difficult times with Uloma and her family, so why wouldn’t I do this much for him. I stopped hesitating and picked up my phone, I dialled Paula’s number and she responded quickly. "Hey Paula I am really sorry to disturb you but I really need to talk to you.” I said as I continued to drive back home. "What time would you be free, can you come to my house?” I added. "Is everything ok, this one that the great Tony needs my help?” "Please just come over and I will explain it to you.” I said and immediately hung up the call.Lizzy got to the office to realise that John was not there, she t
The Boss asked, baffled."Wait, what? You mean the same person who ruined Miss Wellington’s operation also did this.?” "Yes sir.” Phillippe answered. The man got up with anger and slapped Phillippe. "How can you tell me that only two people were able to defeat all of you again for the second time?” Phillippe held the slapped face and muttered, "sir he is not an ordinary man; I am sure of it.” “I heard we kidnapped someone he knew, perhaps that was how he got to know about the operation, if not there is no way he could have figured it out, it was really coded and we made sure to get rid of any suspicion or threats.” Phillippe added. His boss went back to sit and pondered for a while. "Hmm, this man, this guy you say he is not ordinary, who is he?” His Boss asked, now interested in my identity. "Sir I am not really sure but I think I recall his name to be Tony.” Phillippe said with confidence in the information he just provided his boss. More questions poured in from his boss. "D
I gazed at Paula as she gazed at me back, we both had a staring confrontation and there was silence. "You are not saying anything?” I wondered what was going on in her head. "What do you want me to say Tony?" “I know it might seem difficult, but what I am asking you is to save a life not to kill someone, and besides nobody needs to know anything." "I just want you alone to attend to him, that's all.” I added.Paula didn't look convinced with her continued stare. "What’s wrong?” I asked worried about how she looked. "Do you have his medical report? The hospital he was treated at? Are they ok with another Doctor taking over the treatment of their patient?” She inquired with the intention of dissuading me. "They did not exactly say that, but I could tell they had no care to whether George woke up or not, that was when I knew I had to take matters into my own hands.”Paula was looking convinced of my take but gave a clause condition. "Ok, then fine but I need the help of someone, I
