************************************************************************* Chapter 24 “You arrested Liz for kidnap?” Yomi asked. “I mean, you spring up surprises but this tops it.” “Yeah!” Otunba scowled and jammed his hands into his pants pocket. “She was in our place to look for my son, and then the boy disappeared just a few hours to his flight. Ella was very upset.” He hissed. “What made you think Liz travelled to Lagos to abduct your son, all the way from Ibadan?” “She has a motive. She has always been envious of Ella!” Otunba said in anger. “We have to go to court over this. Ella spent so much to give my son a bright future abroad.” Yomi stood up in anger, pushed back his desk and faced his friend. “Are you sure we are talking about the same woman here? Or is it not this Ella that left you with a two-week-old baby only to show up after twenty one years?” He shoved his friend aside and moved towards the window of his office, still boiling with anger. Otunba opened his mouth to speak but only a big sigh escaped his lips. His friend’s words almost got to him. He fisted and unfisted his hands, anger oozing in all directions. He felt like punching Yomi, but he restrained himself. Instead, he scratched the back of his neck and asked, “Whose side are you on, Oriyomi?” “Definitely, not your side.” Yomi said. “I’d rather represent Liz, if you refuse to drop the charges. For crying out loud, this woman has been through hell since her son was declared missing. If she knows her onions, she should sue you and Ella for abducting her son in the first place...” “My son...” Otunba cut him short. “The boy was living with her and no judge granted you custody.” “Where was she when I took the boy? She was in Canada gallivanting with a man, her one-time boyfriend...” “And you were where? At home waiting for her?” Yomi asked angrily, trying very hard to keep his anger under control, but wishing he could beat some sense into his friend’s head. To him, he was under a spell, even though he was not much of a religious person. Otunba swallowed hard. Ella had warned him against Yomi, but he has been adamant, insisting he was his best friend. Now, he knew he had to finally agree Ella was right all along. “Yomi, I think we have to part ways and you stick to Liz, I’m sticking to my wife...” “She’s not your wife but your live-in-lover. You are still legally married to Liz, your divorce is not final yet.” Yomi said, his anger disappearing at the sullen look of his childhood friend. Somehow, he knew he needed help. *************************************************************************** 2 Likes 1 Share |

This is getting hot oh |
Re: Almost Paradise by Nobody: 12:44pm On May 16, 2017 |
*************************************************************************** Walking briskly in the rain, she wondered how she was going to get cash. She needed more money than her foodstuff store could ever generate in a hurry. Besides, circumstances that made her lock the store up for over three months are still there. Otunba was still with Ella, Darasimi was still not talking to her and Tobi was still missing, he’s been missing for over two months now. She fought with her umbrella in the guts of wind and rain as she navigated the bend before her now excruciatingly lonely house. She was coming from her childhood friend, a police officer who advised her to get the sum of N100,000 to settle her boss so she won’t be charged to court by Ella and Otunba. “Maybe Ella meant well afterall,” She thought as she opened the gate, fighting the umbrella, stepping in puddles and feeling the muddy water seep through her slippers. Folding her umbrella, she made a mad dash through the potholes to the front door. The wind caught in the umbrella and rain splashed at her legs, and again, she had that weird feeling that had been with her all day. She looked over her shoulder but saw no one. She was alone in a lonely way. She shrugged her shoulders and wished the weird feeling away as she slid her key in the lock. The house was dark and quiet. Suddenly, the shrill sound of her cell phone broke into the night. She tried to pick the call but her handset slid and fell on the floor. Quickly, she retrieved it and checked the caller id, it was Deji. She had avoided him like plague since they returned from Canada. She knew she was not emotionally stable enough to start dating again. “Hello.” She said into the phone, her voice reverberating through the shrill silence of the night. “What’s going on?” Deji asked from the other end. “Nothing. Tobi is still missing and I have a court case hanging on my neck.” Liz said, cradling her cell phone between her shoulder and ear as she struck a third match trying to light a lantern. “I know, That’s why i’m calling. I’m on my way to see you, are you at home?” “Deji, please, don’t go into that, I’m nowhere near seeing anyone emotionally...” “This is important,” Deji cut her short. “It’s about Tobi. I think I found him.” Liz stopped short and her heart nearly dropped through the floor. “Dead or alive?” She managed to ask, in a shaky voice. “Alive. I found a link online, and a couple of police lines to call. I think he’s in a hospital somewhere in Lagos.” Liz shivered and felt hot tears stream down her cheeks. She let out a gasp, and though she didn’t realise it, her knees began to buckle. She pressed the button that terminated the call, threw the unlit match away and found her way back to the door in the darkness. Dead or alive, she had to see her son. *************************************************************************** 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Without speaking, they raced the short flight of stairs to the main reception area of the hospital. While Dr Deji approached the receptionist hidden behind the white glass cubicle, Liz walked straight to the first nurse in sight. “Please, where is my son, Tobi Jayeola? What’s wrong with him? please!” She asked nervously, looking right and left, expecting to see Tobi among the teeming crowd passing through the busy reception area. “Do I look like the receptionist?” The heavy set matron with bad weave and a dull complexion that was partially hidden with ghoulish makeup screamed at her rudely and walked away quickly. Dejected, she went back to the reception area where he met Deji having a heated conversation with someone on the phone. He waved at her and pointed at the seating area. Liz looked past him to the hallway, anxious to see Tobi. Done talking on the phone, Deji walked up to her and sat on the only vacant seat around. “We have to go to the police station. The receptionist said we have to contact the police before we are allowed to see him. I just got off the phone with someone from the station who wants me to come down and talk to the IPO in charge of the case.” Liz sprang to her feet and screamed, her voice vibrating through the whole hospital complex, tears flowing freely from her eyes. “Yee! What exactly is the problem with him? why should I see a policeman before I see my son?” “Calm down, Liz.” Deji moved a hand round her shoulder to calm her down but Liz shrugged him off as she walked towards the car park, still in tears. Deji walked briskly after her and caught up with her, holding her hand to comfort her. "Where are you rushing off to, Liz?" "Let's go to the station." She said in resignation, the fight suddenly draining from her. Heavy silence enveloped the car as they drove to the police station. Liz constantly shook her head in deep thought, fearing the worst. “Why do we have to see the police?” She asked, breaking the silence. “Apparently, he was hit by a speeding vehicle and was rushed to the hospital but he refused to give them his house address or parents contact. The driver of the car reported at the police station and they suspect he was a kidnap victim or a delinquent. I think it was this guy that put his story online as a missing but found person, so his relatives can come claim him.” Deji explained to her calmly. The morning sky darkened and rain gathered as Deji manoeuvred his way through the busy streets of Ikeja. They watched as street traders rushed to cover their wares against the threatening downpour. He executed a quick U-turn and drove inside the station, stopping at the gate for a quick search. The sky opened and poured heavy rain. *************************************************************************** 2 Likes 2 Shares |
Re: Almost Paradise by Nobody: 9:02pm On May 23, 2017 |
*************************************************************************** Dr Deji, dressed in faded blue jeans and t-shirt, rolled his jeans a bit, got out of his vehicle and slammed the door quickly. He pressed a button on his remote control. The car chirped and blinked its lights, indicating it’s secured against car-jacking. This time, he didn’t have to rush after Liz who waited patiently for him in the heavy rain, expecting him to take the lead inside the busy police station. A few police officers sat behind the counter while some rough looking guys got booked by a tough-looking policewoman with a weird shaped eye-brow. The counter area was packed full with visitors and complainants, everybody looking desperately in need of something. “Good morning, officer.” Dr Deji greeted one of the officers that looked decent enough. “Please, we’ll like to see Inspector Kay.” The officer interviewed him and after what seemed like ages, directed them to a narrow office shared by two officers. The inspector welcomed them nicely and after due consultation with series of identification, the inspector kindly offered to take them back to Grace Specialist Hospital personally. *************************************************************************** The drive back to the hospital was more lively as the officer lightened Liz’s mood when he assured her Tobi’s accident was not serious but they just needed to be sure of why he was on the street alone at that time of the night. Liz and Deji explained the situation to him, even though they couldn’t say precisely where he has been since he was declared missing over two months ago. “He sounded reasonable and decent.” Inspector Kay assured them. “Let’s hope he had been in safe hands. And please, do take it easy with him so you’ll be able to get to the bottom of this. He claimed he didn’t know yours or his father’s phone number off-hand.” She closed her eyes and felt a cold chill settle in her stomach. “So, when did this accident happen? How did he even get to be on the street?” Liz asked, worried for her son, imagining what he must have been through, alone on the streets, courtesy of Ella and Otunba. She made a mental note and felt an odd pang of anger towards them. “About two weeks ago...” “Look, Darasimi!” Liz shouted and Deji screeched to a halt, almost causing an accident at the hospital gate. Dr Deji and Liz watched her greet the security guard familiarly, with a smile as she headed out of the gate in a rush. “Who is it?” Inspector Kay asked from the back seat. Liz opened the door and ran after her, as she rounded a bend outside the hospital gate. She watched her push her big tummy through the door of a waiting SUV parked outside the hospital. She quickly noted the plate number and walked back to the car, her head bowed in sadness, wondering what Darasimi was doing at the hospital in Lagos. The rain had stopped and the weather had brightened up a bit as they approached the hospital building for the second time that morning. But another storm had gathered in her heart and it felt quiet heavy. Seeing Darasimi had awakened an old flame in her heart, a new longing. *************************************************************************** 2 Likes 2 Shares |
