Dayo just got in bed with his wife. He lies down and looks over to her but then sees that she's fast alseep so no hope of getting any action tonight. He turns amd faces the other side of d bed, shuts his eyes and as he's about to get on the highway to sleep his phone rings. He jolts up and scrambles to pick up so the ringing of the phone doesn't wake the sleeping beauty lying next to him. He glances at the caller identification, it says 'Clare Jones', he then quickly taps the answer button and jumps up from the bed, heading to the bathroom so he doesn't wake his wife.
Dayo(whispers): Hello madam, good evening. How are....
Clare(over the phone): Mr Dayo, my husband just got shot right now outside our house!
Dayo: What!? What happened? Where are u?
Clare(sobbing): Somebody shot my husband o! We are headed to Wilson General Hospital, please come there quick. I'm so confused, i don't know what to do, please come.
Dayo: No problem madam, I'm on my way. But you have to try and relax. Everything will be alright. Hello? Hello?
Dayo taked a quick glance at the phone to see the call has ended. He sneaks back to the bedroom and tries his best to make less noise so he can dress up and head out. Dayo's wife, Helen wakes up from her slumber, sits up and looks at her husband.
Helen: Honey, what is it? Where are you going?
Dayo(surprised): My dear, go back to sleep. I'm sorry i woke you.
Helen: Ok. Who called you? What happened that you are preparing to go out by this time of the night?
Dayo turns around and faces Helen.
Dayo: You won't believe what Madam Clare called to tell me.
Helen: Ah! Clare? What did she say?
Dayo: Peter was shot. Can you believe that?
Helen: How? I thought you have policemen at his house and escorts following him? Who could have been able to shoot him?
Dayo: My dear, i don't know the details that's why I'm going out now to find out. I will call Joe, the police officer in charge of Peter security for this night shift so he can explain to me. Go back to bed, i will keep you posted.
Helen: Honey please be careful.
Dayo kisses his wife on the forehead.
Dayo: I will. Go back to sleep.
Dayo steps out and leaves.

At the hospital, Clare is sitting at the waiting room, clutching her phone tightly while shaking her legs nervously. Dayo comes rushing in through the door and sits next to Clare who just breaks down in tears and starts sobbing profusely while Dayo stares at her with a quizzical look confused as to how to console her and the words that he could conjure up was
Dayo: It's going to be alright madam.
Clare continues to sob and Dayo extends his arm to pat her gently on her back in an attempt to console Clare but changes his mind as he didn't want to seem inappropriate.
Dayo: Madam, you have to get a hold of yourself, Peter will be alright but i need you to tell me what happened. Its the best you can do for Peter now.
Clare nods and wipes her face with her wrist then turns to Dayo.
Clare: How could this happen? We have armed policemen all over the mansion. How could someone have shot my husband three times in the chest and got away with it?
Dayo: They have not gotten away with it madam. What really happened?
Clare: We were having dinner when Peter's phone rang and he answered and after some seconds he says 'i will see what i can do'. Then he drops his phone on the dinning table and i was just telling him how much i hate it whenever he answers his phone while at the dinning table. He said it was a business call and left the dinning room while i attended to the kids so i can get them in bed on time for school tomorrow. Next thing i heard was gunshots and i told my kids to run to their room as soon as possible......
Clare stops as if trying to get her story right. Dayo who is eager to get to hear the full gist says
Dayo: Go on Madam. Tell me what happened.
