KyrianWell, just like a fairy tale, Timi and I reconciled and went back to the office together. He dropped his car key and decided to go on my ride. Dan was sitting at the back “So...”. I muttered while looking at Timi.“So what?!”. He said blushing.“The rescue mission gist”. I muttered as we started laughing.“Well, I just went to the airport, bribed one of the craft coordinators and he shared his details with me, I waited till he came to the airport, he did disguise himself with his supposed son, though the young boy looked pretty young to be Lucy's since they were long divorced, but the DNA result will tell more on that. So, I...”“All these silly touts”. Dan interrupted as I looked at him.“What's wrong?”. I mumbled while looking at him smiling.“Nothing, sorry for disrupting, just a little view of this mad tout displaying rash behaviour. And he is still hitting the guy's car”. He said while looking back.I had to look through the mirror “Hold on isn't that Shaki?!”. I muttered
KyrianI just tried keeping quiet while still looking at the man and how gently he answered Timi as he was being interrogated by him.“His son is crying, he wants to see him”. Inspector John muttered after a phone call.“But don't worry, he won't, not until he speaks the truth”. He muttered and left.“I want to see my son”. He whispered after a short break.“You are yet to say the truth”. Timi mumbled as he stood up to drink water.“Nobody will father your child when you die, I'll make sure of that, so you better start telling the truth”. I mumbled and left the room, after a short while Timi came out as well.“Said anything yet?”. I mumbled while looking at Timi in his sweaty shirt.“Same lying words when he gets tired of lying he will let us know”. He mumbled and took a seat close to where I stood. “But this is the craziest case I have ever gotten myself involved in. He doesn't have a mark on his face, neither does Shaki, so who is the murderer?”. I let out as Timi busted out laughi
KyrianOne story to another, the mystery of Lucy's child is yet to come to an end.“Where is the child he was found with?”. I muttered while looking at Inspector John.“Somewhere in the waiting room, do you want to see him?”. He muttered as I nodded and handed the paper back to him.“Yes Sir, but before that...”“Any problem?”. He said sharply not letting me finish up with my statement.“Not really, I was only concerned with your first visitor, he looks quite family, did he just return from the state?”. I said as he paused and smiled at me.“Not really, he is just a good friend of mine, let's go see the child if you don't mind”. He said as I let out a weary smile and followed him.We walked down to the waiting room where he pointed towards the little boy who was already in tears and calling out his father.“I'll take it from here”. I mumbled while going with my pen and jotter for necessary information.“Hey”. I whispered to the little boy while trying to touch his face but he adjusted
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
