Epic 42As I woke up from my deep slumber, the first thing that greeted me was the soft glow of dawn filtering through the curtains. The room was still enveloped in a hazy darkness, and the quietness of the early morning hung in the air. The world outside seemed to be in a state of slumber, with only a few early birds chirping their melodies.I stretched my limbs, feeling a mix of grogginess and anticipation for the day ahead. The room was adorned with shelves filled with books, my trusty companions in this journey called life. The scent of freshly brewed coffee wafted from the kitchen, inviting me to indulge in its warm embrace.Just as I was about to make my way to the kitchen, my brother's ringtone pierced through the tranquillity of the morning. Annoyed yet curious, I answered the call, hoping it was something important to warrant such an early interruption."Hello?" I groggily muttered into the phone, my voice still laced with sleep.And then, in a hushed and urgent tone, my brot
Epic 43I watched as Jasmine took the case upon her, I wanted to appreciate her for her kindness.“We need to go back to Nigeria”. She let out all of a sudden.“To Nigeria?! I mean, that's too risky, you haven't even achieved the reason why you are here. I am sorry I had to put all these on you”. I said apologetically“It's fine”. She mumbled.“Besides this is more important than my coming over here”. She said while dialling a number on her phone.“Hey, Mr. Joe! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to talk to you about something important…” she let out, she did put the call on speak out so I had no other option but to eavesdrop.“Oh, hey Jasmine! I'm doing alright, thanks for asking”. The man from the other end let out sounding very much excited.“Well, I've been thinking a lot about our appointment, and I've come to a difficult decision. I think it's best if we push our appointment”. This statement got me, I felt guilty, I wanted to drag the phone from her and tell the man it was a pra
Epic 44It was finally our departure day, Jasmine was all looking professional and sweet, and the sun was just beginning to set as the plane touched down at Murtala Mohammed International Airport. I peered out the window, my heart fluttering with excitement and anticipation. As the plane taxied to a stop, I looked over at Jasmine and smiled. We were finally back in our home country, after spending so many weeks away.As we made our way through the airport, I couldn't help but feel a rush of memories and emotions. It had been weeks yet felt like years since I had last set foot in Nigeria, and everything felt so familiar and yet so new.It was after a long and exhausting flight, Jasmine decided to stop by at Abuja, rather than continue to Lagos with me. As we said our goodbyes at the airport, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness. Despite the promise of a visit soon, I knew it wouldn't be the same without her by my side.I watched as she walked away, her suitcase rolling behind he
Epic 45Since the DPO and Inspector John got suspended from seats, I have been the one managing the affairs of the station, for two days the station was very peaceful until the murder case of an army officer occurred at the third mainland bridge, it was not just an army officer, this was Jasmine's uncle. It has been a hell of an investigation, with calls flying in and out, Jasmine's face didn't seem to stay off the office CCTV throughout that week because she didn't stop coming.“I swear on my blood I am going to find the idiot that did this, he and his entire generation will pay for this”. She had let out angrily as she barged into my office.“We are working tirelessly on the case”. I managed to say.“I know, I know you all are doing your best on that, but you need to try even harder, not even a CCTV surveillance, not even a single witness… all the system had issues and at the same thing, common Kyrian, this is unbelievable… I am going to handle this case myself, I don't mind coming
Epic 46Timi didn't come back home, I had pleaded with him not to so that Jasmine could sleep over.“We need to get a DPO for the station”. Jasmine had said after a while. “New?!”. I asked surprised as she nodded her head gently, I need to make Inspector John and the DPO don't get to hold any crucial office anymore.“But we don't even have any evidence to do that”. I suggested“Yeah, we don't have evidence for my uncle's case, but we have evidence for your forced demotion due to his corrupt self”. I could feel the anger in her voice.“What evidence do you have?”. I let out confused.“You don't need to know, we will see to that at the panel”. She said delightedly.“You don't have to stress yourself over the demotion, I mean, I can cope. It is not a new thing and I am not the first person to have such an experie…”“Don't get me angrier, please… so because you are not the first person, that means the evil should continue?! Does that mean they should go unpunished for their unjust act?!
Epic 47Jasmine couldn't hide the excitement in her as she returned to Lagos, her face was all covered with a smile as she walked into the police station to find Kyrian and Timi, head over bent in a mapped paper.“Hello, boys”. She had said in excitement as they raised their heads and gave her a warm welcome.“Can I sit?”. She asked nicely “Of course, you are always welcome here”. Kyrian let out with a smile."Thank you, So I have good news, our awesome Kyrian, you are now the new DPO of this unit, and you my dearest Timi, you've proven yourself time and time again. I think you would make an excellent assistant to Kyrian," she said, a smile playing on her lips.Timi couldn't contain his excitement as he thought about the possibilities that lay ahead. "Jasmine, I can't thank you enough for believing in me. Working alongside Kyrian is a dream come true. I've always dreamt of this day, just working hand in hand with my brother. You are indeed a godsent. Together, I believe we can bring
Epic 48Kyrian and Timi walked side by side as they made their way back from the train station, their excitement palpable in the air. Both of them had just been promoted at the office, with Kyrian becoming the new DPO (Divisional Police Officer) and Timi as his assistant. It was a significant milestone in their careers, and they couldn't wait to celebrate.As they strolled through the bustling streets of Umuowa, Kyrian turned to Timi with a mischievous grin. "Hey, Timi, what do you say we go grab a drink to celebrate our new roles? We deserve it!"Timi chuckled, nodding in agreement. "Absolutely, Kyrian! A celebration is in order. Let's find a cool spot to relax and unwind."They continued walking until they stumbled upon a cosy coffee shop called "Java Junction." The aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air, inviting them inside. The shop had a rustic charm, with wooden tables and comfortable leather chairs arranged in a way that encouraged conversations and relaxation.
Epic 49After weeks of tireless effort, they finally caught a breakthrough. They received a tip from an anonymous source about the whereabouts of the criminal.With adrenaline pumping through their veins, Kyrian and Timi followed the lead and found themselves in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town. The place was dimly lit, filled with an eerie silence that sent shivers down their spines.As they cautiously made their way through the maze-like corridors, they could hear faint footsteps echoing in the distance. They knew they were getting closer. Suddenly, they turned a corner and came face to face with the criminal.There was a brief moment of tension as the criminals realized they were caught. Kyrian and Timi held their breath as they locked eyes with the criminal. The dim light cast eerie shadows, heightening the tension in the air. The criminal's face was a mix of surprise and resignation, knowing that their time on the run was finally up.Without a word, the criminal s
