MAVEN IS FINE NOW The moment the doctor assured Thomas and Victoria that they could see Maven, the duo ran into the ward like loose dogs. The Doctor and the detective kept smiles on their faces as they watched Thomas and Lady Victoria running off to see Maven like they were some fourth graders in a queue. “The lady is stable now, you too can go see her”. The doctor informed Officer Josh who had thought the rule was for two persons to go in at once. “Two people are already inside”. He pointed quickly. “I know, but bring her here and you are a detective so we can be a few rules for you”. The doctor said, He cleared his throat and continued. “Mr. Al Thani doesn’t even have a business here except that she is some sort of friend”. “She is his wife”. The officer reported. “Really, I never knew they were married until now”. The doctor revealed with a look of shock on his face. “Yes, we all didn’t know until sometime we did” the detective answered. Then placed a large hand on t
THE ARREST The next morning the team of officers had surrounded Mr. Patrick’s house. A knock on the door and the maid hurried to open it. She had her eyes widened at Officer Josh. “Goo-good morning officer”. She stuttered the words to him. “Good morning ma’am. I am here for David, do you know if he is in?” he asked her politely. The lady took in a deep breath and held her chest with one hand. “Oh goodness gracious! I thought you had come for me instead. “No ma’am I have no case against you. The criminal Sebastian had confessed himself that David is the architect of the kidnap, so we have come to arrest him. I have my warrant”. He answered her. “It’s a good thing someone has to stop the madness but then I think you were quite late this morning, David and his father are heading to the airport. The flight should take off at 8:30am. He is going somewhere I can remember the name”. She told him while scratching her head. “Can I search the house Ma’am?” officer Josh asked polit
I AM NOT SCARED OF YOU MA CLARA Grandma walked out of the station in shame. She had sought several ways to release David from prison but to no avail. “Move the car Karl”. She spoke to her driver angrily like he was the cause of the problem, David was dancing to the tune he thought he was creating for Maven. Now that the news has gone round town no one would accept the fact that he didn’t do it. “I shall get my son the best lawyer to defend him”. She bit her lower lip after saying the words to herself. The driver continued with the drive home. Meanwhile Thomas has all his plans out together. He got into his car and drove off to the station at full speed. When he pulled up in the large parking lot just opposite the field, he saw some prisoners walking with spades in their hands with the officials watching them on one side. Thomas smiled. Of course prisoners who are here have to work for their sins one way or the other. “You are welcome sir”. The prison officers greeted since
MAVEN IS DISCHARGED Lady Victoria has never been this rude to grandma but since Grandma has decided to bite the finger that feeds her then she would have to face the dance and the music she had set for herself. Thomas left the prison that instance and he headed straight to the hospital to meet Maven. On his way he had asked Grace Maven’s assistant to watch over her while they await her discharge time. He hurried and drove the car to the hospital and when he arrived at the front gate the men he kept to safeguard the yard nodded at him. They were dressed in black suits and black face Masks different from the security men who work for the hospital. He raised up using the elevator to the fourth floor where Maven was. He waved at the nurse rashly and wafted past her like spoke ready to consume a whole bush. This was the moment he wished he could kill his enemies with his powers but that would not be very necessary at this point. He is not big enough to face David and Sebastian. Rath
CROWNED The morning after the whole incident Thomas’s assistant called in. Thomas was still in bed when his phone began to ring. “It’s too early for all the calls to start coming in”. He murmured as she reached out for the phone. Seeing Greg’s name made his heart churn a little bit. “Greg, what do we have this morning?’ he asked in a greasy voice. “Sir, you have a meeting with the Lesotho group at 9am”. His phone was calm and patient. “I will try not to be late. Put everything in other”. “Yes boss! Greg answered. They spoke on the phone for a while listing Thomas’ meetings and activities for the day after which they ended the call. Thomas got out of bed grudgingly. After the whole drama for the week he doesn’t see himself getting into any meeting or sit but he had to do it for the sake of the company. The company has to go one way or the other. Just as he got the tip of his bed a knock came on his door. He turned his head to look over. He knows his grandpa or Lucas, his co
LET THEM GO The moment she saw the news she knew she had to do something to save her son. She had gone to the station to plead and try to bride David but the officers wouldn’t let her do that despite the fact that they know her too well. “I need my son out of here. No one is saying anything”, she began to cry. Just then Thomas drove in. She threw her bag on the floor and rushed to meet him. “I asked you to get your lawyers ready. David is appearing in court in a few days and there is nothing anyone will do about it. I will not let him treat my wife like that all because of envy”. Thomas was still pissed at what David did. But before he could say one more word, the old woman fell on her knees and began to plead. Everyone came out and began to look in surprise that the all mighty Lady Clara Taylor could go on her knees begging a small boy like Thomas all because she wants her son to come out of prison. At this point Thomas remembered his grandma and how she had gone to her k
SENTENCED It’s been three months since Sebastian has been in and out of court. His Lawyer Bryan knows well that Sebastian would never win the case against the government and the Al Thani’s. The biggest name in the society. He had his head bowed in the cubicle when his lawyer made the last statement. The presiding judge Albert Wilmore sat on his seat with the wig hanging stylishly on his head. An old man from the North. He is presumed to be the best and sincere judge in the entire city. “Get me out of here” he whispered to his lawyer in a very soft tone. “I am trying my best. The judge is a strict one but I will see what I can do. “What do you even mean by that? I don’t need you to try, I need you to get me out. What’s there to lie and convince the court that I didn’t do it? You can’t even lie. Shame on you”. He said and just then the judge hit the gavel to maintain order. The break was over. The judge cleared his throat. “After hearing from both parties, this honorable court
WE ARE SORRY Since the incident Maven has just been minding her business until Grandma’ request for dinner came through. She had always known who grandma was when it came to having dinner or lunch or even breakfast at her place. With all that has gone on she just doesn’t want to get entangled with grandma and her boys, just focusing on her job and if need be quit if another chaos comes. All that mattered to her right now was her peace of mind and sanity. Maven walked down to meet her mother in the living room. “Mom, did Grandma Clara call you?’ She asked her mother if she had her eyes glued on the TV for her favorite show. The lady shook her head repeatedly without taking her eyes off the screen. “Well, I guess we would be having dinner at grandmas’ I suggest you go get dressed.” She informed her mother. Lady Victoria looked up at Maven with a frown on her face. “I am not going to Clara’s house for no dinner” she said rudely, grabbing the remote control on the table. “Why?Sh
