KyrianWe waited patiently for the wife to come after she picked up the call and promised to come. While I moved towards the AC my eye cut with his child as I moved forward to the boy.“Do you want to see your Dad?”. I mumbled nicely as the little boy nodded with tears running down his eyes.“Then clean your eye, so that I can take you to your daddy”. I let out as he gently started to dry his tears with his hand. I finally used his top to clean it properly and reached out to him as he grabbed my hand.“Stop crying”. I whispered as he began to jerk and immediately he saw his Dad he ran and hugged him tightly. I stood for a while watching the two display their father-to-son love.I was already tired and also worried about Dan.“Is your wife not coming?”. I asked a bit harsh.“Maybe you should give her a call again”. He mumbled and I quickly dialled the woman's number.“Sorry Sir, I'm close to the office, you know Lagos state and traffic, I'll soon be there, just give me a little time”.
Epic 29The room was silent, except for the sound of breathing. The husband's eyes were fixed on the DNA test results, his hands clenched into fists. The woman's eyes were wide with fear and confusion, but there was something else there, too - a hint of deception. She was hiding something.The husband looked at her, his eyes filled with anger and hurt. He knew she was lying, but he couldn't understand why. "You're lying," he said, his voice shaking with fear."No, I'm not!" the woman protested, her voice rising in pitch. "I... I would never lie to you!"But the husband could see the lie in her eyes, and it filled him with rage. He slammed his fist down on the table, making the test results jump. "Stop it! Just stop lying!" he shouted, his voice raw with emotion. "I... I can't take this anymore!"The woman's eyes filled with tears, but she held her ground. "I'm not lying!" she insisted, her voice growing louder. "I... I would never do that to you."Just take a deep breath and calm down
Epic 30"I struggled to contain my frustration as the suspect remained silent, refusing to speak. I couldn't understand why he wouldn't talk to me. It was maddening! With a heavy sigh, I turned to leave, only to see Timi standing in the doorway, their faces pale. I knew they had something important to tell me. I gestured for them to follow me outside, and we walked to a quiet corner of the station.""Where's Dan?" I whispered to Timi, my brow furrowed."He doesn't know I'm here. He stormed off, angry as a hornet's nest. Apparently, he found out we're not really related." Timi's voice was hushed as if he was afraid of being overheard.The station was eerily quiet, the only sound the faint hum of the fluorescent lights overhead. The air felt heavy like a storm was brewing. My stomach was in knots, and I had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.Timi's eyes widened, and he grabbed my arm, pulling me toward the back door of the station. "We need to get out of here," he hissed.
Epic 31The DPO listened to our exchange with a stony expression on his face. Finally, he spoke, his voice cold and hard. "I'm placing Timi under arrest," he said, gesturing to the officers standing by the door. "We'll interrogate him and see if he has any information that might help us solve this case."Timi's face paled as the officers stepped forward and placed handcuffs on his wrists. I knew I had to do something to help him."You can't do this!" I protested, my voice rising in anger. "Timi is my brother, and he's an inspector! He would never do anything like this. It's not right to arrest him without any evidence."The DPO glared at me, his face red with fury. "You're getting too emotional about this," he snapped. "This is a serious investigation, and I'm not going to let your personal feelings get in the way. Timi is a suspect, and he's going to be treated like oneAs the officers led Timi away, I could see the fear and confusion in his eyes. He hasn't spoken a word since the ar
Epic 32I could feel sweat dripping down Inspector John's thighs. He was obviously scared."Quiet!" the DPO barked, holding up a hand to silence Inspector John. "We're in the middle of something here. Let us work."Inspector John opened his mouth to protest, but the DPO shot him a look that silenced him. I could see the anger and frustration on his face, but he remained silent as the drive continued to load.Once the files had finished loading, the DPO turned to me. "All right," he said. "Let's take a look at what's on here."I clicked on the first file, which opened to reveal a grainy black-and-white image of a dark alleyway. At first, it was difficult to make out anything in the footage, but then I saw two figures enter the frame. One of them was Aunty Lucy, and the other was clearly Inspector John."That's him!" the DPO exclaimed, pointing at the screen. "That's definitely Inspector John. And the woman is Aunty Lucy. This is exactly what we need."I could feel a sense of triumphYe
Epic 33Timi couldn't even rest for a second as he drank a glass of water and headed back into the car "We can't wait for months to find the killer, we know where to find these people, we need to go after them immediately”. He let out bittered“Okay”. I whispered and followed after him. We drove in search of Dan's killers, timi had pointed to the area where they first had clashed with the boys.“Do you still remember his fa—”“He is the one!”. He said almost trying to jump down from a moving vehicle. I immediately grabbed his hands.“Do you want to die?! Don't you know he will run off if he sees you?!”Timi immediately calmed down as we monitored the guys' movement, he kept turning back as if he was expecting someone. “He seems scared”. I muttered to Timi“He should be”. Timi said in annoyance“Do you think we should take him down?”.Timi nodded while having his eyes fixed on the dude. “Unfortunate bastard”. He whispered.“I think we should go now”. I let out on noticing how the dud
Epic 34"Let's go home, bro," I said to Timi, trying to sound reassuring. I knew he was upset and I didn't want to push him. I just wanted to get him out of there and make sure he was okay.Timi nodded and followed me out of the station. We walked to the car in silence, both of us lost in our thoughts. I could tell Timi was still reeling from what had just happened. I just hoped I could help him through it."It's just so strange, you know?" I said, trying to break the silence between us. "I've never seen anything like that before. I mean, for a murderer to turn himself in like that... it's just crazy."Timi nodded, still looking deep in thought. "It is crazy. But maybe he just felt guilty and wanted to do the right thing.""But even so, it's not often that a murderer has to surrender that easily""It's just so strange," I said again, unable to let the subject go. "What could have made him do it? I mean, it's not like he's some kind of saint. He's a murderer, after all.""Yeah, but may
Epic 35The sunlight streaming through the window woke me up. I opened my eyes and yawned, trying to shake off the sleepiness. As I sat up, I heard the birds chirping outside, and I smiled. It was a beautiful morning.I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash my face. As the cold water hit my skin, I felt more awake. I brushed my teeth and put on my clothes, ready to start the day.As I walked out of my bedroom, I heard a sound from the kitchen, it was Timi, he was already in the kitchen making coffee. I could tell he was still upset about the situation with Inspector John. He barely looked at me as I sat down at the table."Do you want some coffee?" he asked, his voice flat."Sure, thanks," I replied, trying to sound cheerful. "How was your sleep?" I asked, hoping to start a conversation. Timi just shrugged."Not great," he said. "I kept thinking about what happened with Inspector John. It's just so frustrating. I don't know how we're going to solve this case now."I nodded,
