THE CAREFULLY LAID PLAN AND A NEW DELIVERY CAPTAIN

Grandma and louisa sat in the room for a few minutes more before she finally left.

Louisa drove out of Grandma's house after bidding her farewell. She drove straight at low speed to her house.

On her way, she branched at a pharmacy to get an effective contraceptive.

On reaching home,she sank in an armchair and began to ponder on what Williams had done.

She was teary eyed as she sat lazily in the chair.

Williams had caused him so much pain and she had lost her pride. Maybe not known by everybody but to herself, she was not whole.

The whole family would be against her if the family is ruined because of her.

And the family would only be ruined when Williams released those videos online.

" Thank God I have someone who still likes me. I would have been dead by now" She thought.

She then began pondering on Grandma's words.

No one needed to remind her to keep her mouth shut about this whole issue.

Who is chasing you?" She asked looking at her gate to see if someone else would barge in after Louisa." I'm not being chased, Grandma. Just that I am shocked."Louisa replied after gaining composure" And what makes you shocked to the extent of you running around?" Grandma asked with a raised eyebrow." Well you remember the message I sent you some few minutes ago about…" Louisa paused and looked around her. She wanted to confirm if there were no guards around to listen to their conversation. After being sure there was no one, she continued."... the message I sent you about Reuben. Right after that I ordered food online after taking the contraceptives.I was not in the mood to cook then so that was the only option.When the delivery man arrived, it was none else than Reuben" Louisa said in a

    ATTACKED BY ARMED ROBBERSReuben rode through the highway at top speed, overtaking vehicles regularly but carefully as much as he could.He followed the map closely.After about 20 minutes of riding on the highway, he turned onto a lonely path.The road was tarred and good, but there were no cars and humans around. Only an overgrown bush that looked like a mini forest on each sides of the roadHe sighed and rode at normal speed steadily anxiously looking ahead.He rode on that road for about 10 minutes and slowed down. He slowed down such that, a man who was jogging could easily go with him at the same pace without much stress.**************After Robert and his men had patrolled enough and everyone had found a spot to hide, he called all of them back together and spoke to them.“ Ok so we are set now and the target would be here soon.Remember the rules and don't make any

It was well after 6pm when he got there. Reuben parked his bike at the designated place and secured it.He hurried inside his small room and rushed into the washroom.He gushed water on his face as much as he could for about a minute and stopped.He breathed a heavy sigh as though he was just recovering from the shock he had experienced earlier.“ That was a close escape back there” he murmured to himself.He cleaned his face with a towel and went back to the room. He laid on his bed flat with his back.The whole incident began to replay I'm his mind.He could not tell whether or not this was a robbery attack

He emerged about 15 minutes later looking all freshened up.He went straight to the kitchen and took a bottle of drink and some biscuits.After eating to his satisfaction, he sat down and began thinking about what he was going to do about his manager.If he could set him up in this manner, then there was something behind the setup and probably someone.However, he had different ideas and thoughts from the first one.“ What if he did not set me up? What if it was a coincidence? What if the gang were on their own and just wanted to kidnap someone. What if the manager was innocent? '' he thought.As he pondered over the whole issue, Reuben thought of a way to find out the truth from the manager. That is; of he intentionally set him up or not.After si

As they sat down weeping, a knock came on the door. “ Come in please” Madam Rebecca said The door opened, and a guard walked in. “ There are some people here to see you ma'am” the guard said. Grandma was absent-minded about the whole surroundings as she kept weeping. “ Who is that?” Madam Rebecca asked. The guard did not reply. Instead, he stood aside. Three policemen walked in with one other man. The man without a uniform came forward. He had an ID in his hand and a paper in the other hand. “ My name is Mr Andrews, and these are inspectors Jack and Jill, we have an arrest warrant against Mrs Evelyn Anderson, and we

You are welcome ma'am" one of the policemen who knew her greeted her as soon as she entered." I want to see Louisa now," she fumed, ignoring the greeting from the policeman." Certainly ma'am, you have to wait for just a few minutes. I will be right back with you, " the policeman said with a dry smile and walked back in.Grandma stood in front of the policewoman at the reception.She looked at her with a deadly look, and the woman did her best to avoid the gaze and ignore her.Grandma stood there shaking vibrantly.She could feel her knees hurt from the stand, but she ignored the pain and stood there.Her only aim at that time was to see Louisa and speak with her, and that was exactly what she was doing.After standing for about three minutes, she was already losing her patience.Just

The guard said.He handed over the envelope to Grandma.Grandma took the envelope and muttered a " thank you" as the guard left.She was curious as to who would send an envelope without a sender's address.Grandma did not touch any of his cutlery.

Annabelle asked in surprise.She could not just fathom what was going on, although she knew she was just about being kidnapped.Reuben held her hand and led the way back to the car, away from the sirens and the people who were being arrested. " What just happened here? Why is Louisa and that man being arrested? Who are those men? " Annabelle asked all at once." Let's sit in the car and speak for a bit.There are still a lot of things you need to know, " Reuben said as he unlocked the car with the remote.He opened the door for Annabelle to sit down and closed the door.He walked to the driver side and sat behind the steering, roaring the engine to life." I'm ready for the questions now, but before to ask, let me begin with narration," Reuben said as he drove out of the parking lot and out of the premises." I know you have a lot of questions. First of all, our date has not been canceled. We are on our way to a new restaurant.

So we are going there earlier, so we can monitor their movements, they should be there around 5pm, and we should get there about ten minutes before them.Everyone else is ready over there, and this should not take a long time.We will pull out quickly, " Jakes said.Louisa nodded.She was okay with the explanation and how things were go
