You Got Here So Quickly!

Tony's car tyres screeched on the tarred ground and he moved the car in the direction his attacker's truck took. "Fasten your belt." He said to Sade who was in hysterics beside him. He took his right hand off the gear and placed it on her lap reassuringly. He kept driving the car so fast and taking turns after turns hoping to see the truck in view. The truck guy had escaped. Tony faced the truth and drove in the direction of his home. He had a lot of working out a solution and explaining to do. Especially to Tracy.

"Let's go check on Vicky. Maybe the guy is heading for her house." Sade pointed out.

"She lives close?" Tony asked.

"Not really but about twenty minutes drive." Sade responded.

Tony changed direction again and drove to Vicky's area with the help of Sade who directed the way. Vicky lived in a large private estate. Her house was a duplex in the estate. Tony drove to the main gate and was stopped by the security guards. "Whom do you seek?" A security guard who looked polished and educated inquired.

"The Okpaluba's residence." Sade proffered.

"What do you want?" The guard asked, checking his watch.

"I'm Vicky's friend." Sade answered.

"But its too late now to go in and see anybody. I mean if you're not a resident of this estate." The security guard explained.

"Okay, fine. We'll come tomorrow during the day." Tony said.

"But..." Sade protested.

"Don't worry, she'll be fine." Tony said to her. "But please officer, could you keep making routine checks on the family's house till daybreak?"

"We do that always so its no problem. But is there any problem?" The security guard asked.

"No. I believe you're here for a reason which is to protect life and property so that should be part of your job I guess." Tony answered.

"Yes. You're right."

"Goodnight." Tony said and geared his car into reverse and drove away.

"I pray nothing happens to Vicky o." Sade said.

"Me too." Tony said quietly.

*********************************************

Tony drove into his apartment building and parked his car into the garage. He walked up the stairs with Sade tagging along with him to his own side of the building. His door was locked. Tracy wasn't in. He wondered where she had gone. He reached beneath the doormat and brought out his keys. He walked into his living room with Sade and locked the door. Tracy wasn't inside. Where had she gone? He asked himself. He brought out his phone and dialled her number. She didn't pick up. "Make yourself comfortable." He said to Sade.

"Are you married?" Sade asked.

"No." Tony responded almost absent-mindedly as he walked to the dining-table. On it was placed a note. Tracy dropped it for him. Tony sighed after reading the note and dialled Tracy's line again. Same old story. She didn't pick up.

"Are you hungry?" Tony asked.

"No I'm not." Sade responded.

"Okay then. I'll just show you the guest room. Follow me." He said and they both went into a room. "Try and get some rest. Make a call to your mum and tell her not to go home. We'll talk in the morning."

"Alright." Sade said and dropped her things on the bed. "And thanks for everything." She added as Tony turned to leave.

Tony nodded and walked out of the room. All through the night, Tony was torn between getting a grasp on where the murder case was heading and Tracy's act that evening. It was difficult to concentrate. He closed his laptop, arranged his files after more than 30minutes of distorted thinking and got into bed.




The following morning, Sade woke up and heard voices within the house. She listened well and thought an argument was going on. But between Tony and who? A lady was talking in high tones. Sade leaned against the door and listened.

"You said you wouldn't stay long yet you spent close to two hours." The lady said.

"Yes I know but something came up and I had to settle that before I came back." A tired-sounding Tony responded.

"Something more important than I am. Something you couldn't call to tell?"

"Tracy see I'm sorry. I know I'm wrong. Just calm down and I'll explain it all." Tony said.

"There's nothing to explain here. I'm tired of your ways. You never have my time. Always attending to businesses yet you're not a businessman. Even if you're an investigator, does it have to be to my own detriment and maltreatment?" The lady said and sobbed.

Sade's curiosity had gotten so greatly aroused that she couldn't stay where she was. She felt she could help the situation and help Tony's explanation. She left the door-post and walked out of the room. She slowly dragged her feet to the living room. Tracy gasped when she saw Sade. Even Tony had his jaw hanging. Tracy looked at Sade from head to toe. Sade had forgotten about her appearance. She had on a gown-top so short that it was almost uncovering her bum.

"You couldn't even wait for more than one night. Your libido's that strong and uncontrollable?" Tracy said upon sighting Sade. She walked past her and hissed. "Wh0r€." Tracy went out in annoyance.

Tony sat down and held his head.

"I'm sorry." Sade said sincerely.
