Chorus:

You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done
You've got to know when to hold 'em
(When to hold 'em)
Know when to fold 'em
(When to fold 'em)
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done
You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done

"Mr Ojemba, please do calm down, this situation can be handled by my men..... I assure you." Seargent Okoro glanced at Mrs Ojemba, who refused taking a seat in his well decorated office. The couple were nervous and he could see they were non-relenting on pressuring.


" Sir you said something, about knowing...." Mr Ezey reminded Sam's absent-minded father.


"Yes ... Yes, you see Officer, erm.... Oh my..... Please officer, these guys are working for a major rival. Yessss." He corrobated his point with emphasis.

Seargent Okoro called a Cop to come jot down vital information.


"There's this business deal i'm working on. And, and these crooked, wicked, so called business partners wouldnt let me be. I'm a Contractor by Profession, specifically an engineer...."


"Please Mr Ojemba, for the sake of time, just tell us very important details here. Your son may be counting on you to survive.." Srgt Okoro interrupted him. Mrs Ojemba suddenly resumed wailing at the mention of 'Survive'. Louis stood and tried to comfort the already confused mother of his friend.



"Mr Ibe is a business partner. He actually is their head. We co-operated together to execute this contract and and he suddenly threatened to do the unthinkable if i didnt pay him what he wanted. Officer this was our earlier agreement. We agreed on 5million naira. And now he wants, he wants double of that sum. This joke is serious one."



Suddenly Mrs Ojemba stood up and walked up to her husband and held onto his shirt, she shooked him, and he struggled to stop her, yet her grip was tight and firm.


"I warned you, I warned you!! You said you can handle this Uzor. I warned you." She wept heavily.


"Madam, sir what is she referring to?" A confused Mr Ezey asked.


"Erm, i suggest we see you both seperately. Cop Taiwo, please take Mrs Ojemba asides for interrogation. Il be with you in ten minutes." Srgt Okor ordered.

"Yes Sir!" and officer taiwo saluted and led her out, she followed reluctantly.


"Mr Ezey, i hope you dont mind seeing this through, inasmuch your son is our witness here."


"No Sir, we're just absolutely here to contribute our best to contain this situation" Mr Ezey nodded in agreement.

Mr Ojemba described a few locations where they met, and the agreements reached while a cop jotted down some helpful info. Louis was sitting down just behind the desk of Srgt Okoro and soon fell asleep. To hard to digest such a stressful SCENARIO!! The time read 3:14pm. Exactly Six hours since Sam went missing.

Bolu and Helen reminisced alot about their mum's absence and she laughed and spoke to keep them encouraged. Though in between her statements, she admitted not feeling happy at leaving them just so easily. She felt like that everyday.


Helen loved her coming back to reset the family structure, but alot had been done to make her keep to almost all her thoughts. She wondereed if her mum would help with questions, happenings, etc that was from her own perspective. She saw Bolu laughing from a distance as she raced along playing. Then she sat down and stared into space.


She thought, then reasoned, then she restructured, provided a solution, perfected it, restructed it again and then left it for another day, or event. This was the way she's been living with her thoughts.

"Helen! Helen!!"

"Helen!" Bolu called, then he tickled her back to reality. She smiled and looked up at her elder brother.


"I'm just....." She drifted off in explaining. Only Bolu had caught her in her lost thought most of the times. He had an idea of what she thought. Only he could reason which angle she thought from. She had a powerful mind!


"Louis and Dad have spent almost an hour now. Il give him a call. Lets get a cab,so you all can relax." Dupe suggested. She sighted her daughter as Bolu walked up to tickle her a few minutes ago. She knew she needed to answer alot, even if Helen forced a smile or two. She heaved and took their hands as they strode out of Graveville Park, after contacting their dad about their departure from there. It had been a good outing for them. They prayed Sam could be found.
