CHAPTER FIFTEEN



Melody woke up with a yawn, she stretched herself and felt the bed for her phone but no sign of it anywhere, she sighed and opened her eyes fully, at first, she wondered where she was as the room didn't look like her own but almost immediately, she remembered everything that happened the previous day and then she sighed again as she remembered that she didn't go out with her phone the day she left with the captain, she got down from the bed and planned to go get her phone later in the day.



She walked down the stairs and met Joel's mother already setting the dining for breakfast, she walked towards the dining room and greeted her with a smile.


"Good morning my dear, hope you slept well?" the woman asked.


"Yes ma, i did, what of you?" Melody asked and then added "What can i help you with ma?"


"Nothing my child, just help me call Joel, tell him to come and eat" she replied.



"Joel? who is Joel?" Melody asked a little confused.



"Joel my son, the captain" she said going into the kitchen.



"Oh, his name is Joel? but i thought he left last night?" she asked yet again.



"Yes my dear, but he came back while you were fast asleep" the woman said all smiles.



"Okay ma" she said heading upstairs but then turned around and asked "Ma, what is "come and eat" in your language?"



"Bia rie nri" the woman said with a chuckle



Melody's heart beat loudly as she climbed the stairs, for some weird reason, she was happy she was going to see the young soldier again, when he left the previous night, she was a little sad. she got to his room and knocked, her heart fluttered and she smiled. She knocked again and when she got no response, she decided to go into the room.






Joel came out from the bathroom with a towel tied around his waist, he almost screamed when he saw her staring at the pictures hung on the wall. "whatever happened to knocking"? he wondered.


"Melody any problem?" Joel asked holding tightly to the towel.


"Good morning sir, i didn't know you were in the bathroom, i knocked before i entered but didn't get any response" she said trying hard not to look at his body.



"Alright then, i hope there is no problem?" he asked again.



"Uuuum, no problem at all, bia rie nri" she said wondering if she got it correct.



"What did you say?" Joel asked with a smile.


"I said come and eat, your Mom sent me to you" she said concluding that she got it wrong.



"Okay, i will be down in a minute" he said still smiling.



"Okay sir" she said turning around to leave.



"You know if you want to learn how to speak Igbo, you can tell me, we can start up a class" Joel said with a chuckle.


"I would love to learn" Melody said with a bright smile. His heart skipped a beat, he turned around and opened his wardrobe to look for something to wear and when he turned back, she was gone, he let out a full breath.

CHAPTER SIXTEEN



Joel got to the eatery and strutted inside like he owned it, it didn't take him long before he sighted the detective at the extreme where he seated. He walked slowly to where he was and Sat down after saying his greetings.



"Detective, you said you have an update for me?" he said supporting his jaw with his hand.



"Yes captain, for the past few days after our meeting at the forensic department, i have been searching for the parents of the victims, that is the dead ladies before your ex fiance, but i only succeeded in finding one" he calmly explained.



"Okay, did they tell you anything that could help us nab the killer?" Joel asked impatiently.



"Well nothing much, the mother said before the death of their daughter, that she complained about a particular young man that was always showing up at her work place and other places she went to, but they didn't take it serious because they thought it was nothing until she died" he shrugged.



"Sometimes we need to pay attention to the little things we see as nothing" Joel said shaking his head.



"And again, I met a young man, who told me that he has a suspect who he thinks is the killer, that he has a brother who is in an asylum. He said he worked for their father before the old man died" the detective said after a brief silence.



"Wait a minute, the killer's brother is in an asylum? like he is mad?" Joel asked raising his brows in surprise.


"The young man said he started having mental problem some months ago according to what his brother told them"



"Let the young man take us to the killer then so that we can arrest him" Joel said almost immediately.



"Calm down captain, the young man is not even sure about what he told me, and moreover, you can't arrest someone without an evidence" the detective said with a smile.



"That reminds me, the lady i mentioned the last time we met, she is with me now and she is fine" he said scratching his eye brows


"Yes, i wanted to ask about the lady too, who is she?"



"She is the killer's next victim, i met her at the funeral and she told me about a stalker who had been following her" he said without stopping to take a breath.


"So how did you know she was the next victim?"



"She has the same physical attributes with the other dead ladies which attracts the killer" Joel shrugged.


"Well perfect then, we can use the lady as a bait to catch the killer, what do you think?" the detective said with a smile flashing across his face.



"No way, i won't let any harm come to Melody, we are not using her as any bait" Joel shouted.



"That is the only option we have Captain" the detective sighed.



"We will surely find another way to catch the killer. there is no way am putting my Melody in a harm's way" Joel said stumping out of the eatery.
