CHAPTER 7





"Hello, I'm Agent Tony," he said when a young pretty-faced girl appeared at the door. "From the state's police department."

"Good afternoon. Can I help you?" The girl asked.

"Yes, may I come in?" She stood out of the way and allowed him into the house. "Miss Sade Johnson I believe?" Tony said and swung round to face the young girl who just finished closing the door and was walking towards him.

"Yes, that's my name." She replied. "And please call me Sade." Tony nodded.

"So you live here all alone?" Tony asked, taking a brief surveying look round the small living room.

"No."

"Who else does?"

"My mum."

"Just her?"

"Yes."

"Where's she now?"

"She should be at work."

"I see. What about your dad?" Tony asked still pacing round the room.

"Don't go there please. What do you want? I've got things to do." Sade said, getting impatient.

"Oh, Sorry. Like I said earlier, I'm Agent Tony from the state's police department and I'm here concerning the death of your friends." Tony said. "Sit down please." He added. He was offering her a seat in her own house. Sade took a seat on a couch while Tony settled himself on an armchair across her. "You know Irene and Debbie are dead don't you?" Tony started.

"Yes." Sade responded in a shaky voice.

Tony blinked. He didn't want to have in his hands an emotional outburst yet again. If only the answers he needed could be provided in clear tones without sobs or sniffs in between, then he'd be able to progress more rapidly. "You know they were murdered don't you?"

"Yes I heard."

"Do you have any idea about why they were killed or who could have committed these crimes?"

"No, I don't have any suspects in mind nor do I know of any reason why someone would have killed them." Sade responded.

"Okay. We have reasons to believe their deaths are connected to Amaka's death." Tony paused for effect. She stiffened in her seat and her face flushed. "And we also think you're not safe. So I'll appreciate every little bit of information you can share with us."

"But Amaka died last month. How then are their deaths related?" Sade managed to ask.

"That's what we're trying to find out." Tony replied solemnly.

"I - I don't know how they're related but I have no grudge with anybody so why should anybody be after me?"

"Don't be naïve. Debbie and Irene didn't see their deaths coming. If they did, they'd have done something to avert it and of they knew something about Amaka's death we'll never know now. That's why you're the only one in the position to help." Tony said.

"But I don't know anything." Sade said.

"Fast- Rewind to the day Irene died, you were together right?" Tony devised another tactic.

"Yes," Sade nodded.

"What thing worthy of note happened before she died?"

"We were at a party and we were all dancing when we discovered she was missing." Sade answered.

"Before you left for the party, did anything happen?"

"No." Sade responded thoughtfully. "But Irene and Vicky were in an argument about a missing eye pencil." She quickly added.

"And they fought?"

"Not really."

"Threats? Did they find the eye pencil?"

"They didn't threaten each other. Just a normal girls argument and we ended it jokingly. Till we left for the party the eye pencil wasn't found."

"Okay," Tony drawled. "Where does Vicky live? Put it down there." He added, cutting out a piece of paper from his small notebook."

"Here take." Sade handed back the piece of paper after scribbling on it for some seconds.

"Thanks. So tell me, what killed Amaka?" Tony threw the question at her.

Sade stiffened yet again. "Death." She replied after regaining her composure. She was being sarcastic.

"I know. How did the death come?" Tony asked ignoring the sarcasm.

"We learnt she was a little bit sick and she died without recovering."

"Just that? Nothing else?" Tony asked.

"Just that." Sade confirmed.

"Alright then. I'll be on my way now." He said standing up. "Make sure you're careful. Don't open the door anyhow to strangers. Even me you let in the other time without caution." Tony advised. "Also here's my phone number just in case you remember anything."

"Thanks." Sade said dryly.

Tony walked out of the sitting room. He knew Sade was hiding something. That's left for him to find out.

"And the suspect in your custody, may I interrogate him?" Tony asked.

"Yeah sure, you can. Infact right away." Phillip said and picked up the telephone on the long conference table. "Constable Peter, get the suspect on the girls' murder case ready for interrogation." The three of them got up and went out of the conference room. Moments later, Tony was with Ade who looked so pale and sunken one would say he's a condemned criminal ready for execution but he's a suspect afterall. He eyes were locked on Tony's with plea in them.

"I'm Agent Tony and I wouldn't like you to waste my time or yours. I know you'd like to get somewhere comfortable to rest: either your cell bed or bedroom bed. You'd prefer the comfort of your bedroom, I know right. But I need your help to make that happen." Ade kept staring at him. "How did you get to know Irene?"

"I didn't get to know her, Ade started with an unsure voice. "We hooked up in the club on the night she died."

"So you met her at the club, took her out, raped her and strangled her. Killing her in the process. Right?"

"No I swear I didn't do any of those. She was a 'runs' girl and she agreed to be my acquaintance for the night so we ended up together."

"Your acquaintance for the night. You both were meant to spend the night together, yer you still did a test run on her. Why?" Tony asked. Phillip chuckled outside the room.

"She was drunk and I was pretty wasted myself so..."

"You killed her unconsciously." Tony interrupted him.

"Yes... I mean no. We had s£x and that was all." Ade responded, confused. "I went back into the clubhouse and I came back to find her dead." He added.

"Why did you go back inside?" Tony asked.

"I went to pick up a wine bottle I had paid for from the bartender."

"You were not high enough right?" Tony asked.

Ade kept quiet. "See the thing is I didn't kill her. Allow me to call my lawyer please. I'm not talking until my lawyer gets here." He said.

Tony was surprised at the sudden surge of confidence in him. That was his fault. He allowed it happen. Tony went out of the room and turned to Phillip. "A doctor will be here to draw fluid from his body for DNA sampling. Allow him to call his lawyer. I'll update you as I progress.

"Yeah, Tony began. "The two girls that were murdered were friends. Everybody knows that. I talked to one of the girls' parents and they told me there are five of them who are friends, as in a group. Three of them are dead now."

"You mean there's been another murder we don't know of?" Phillip asked.

"No, she died before the two girls and I have a feeling the deaths are connected." Tony said.

"Tell me more." Phillip urged.

"According to the girls' parents I talked to, I learnt theirs was a group of five girls. DIVAS they called themselves and if you observed the details of the murdered girls, some letters were written on the girls' bodies."

"Yes? I've been pondering on that too. The letters are not the same though." Phillip said, bringing out photographs of the girls' corpses. He stared at them for some seconds. "Now this is all coming together. DIVAS you said right?"

"Yeah," Tony responded.

"Debbie is dead, Irene is dead. What's the name of the first girl that died?"

"Amaka." Tony answered.

"And on the first girl, Debbie, the letters 'D' and 'A' were written on her."

"That's right."

"On Irene, letters 'D', 'I' and 'A'."

"Yes."

"And the girls who have 'V' and 'S' as their initials are still alive?" Phillip asked.

"Yeah as at yesterday. Or has any other murder been reported?" Tony asked.

"No. Which means we have to know why the letter 'A' for Amaka was written on both girl when we know its neither of their names." Deji pointed out.

"Yes. I think the two deaths are connected to Amaka's death." Tony said.

"So we need to find out what killed Amaka, see of we can pick up a lead." Deji put in. Phillip looked thoughtful.

"Yes. I'll find out where Amaka's family lives and head there ASAP." Tony said.

"And we find a way to protect the remaining two girls. Because it seems the letters the killer is writing on the victims will only be complete after the last girl of the group has been killed." Deji added.

"We'll see about that." Phillip said...
