Chapter 19 cc swann, Adesina12, Aitee1, soleski01, Lawlahdey, girlhaley, sexybbstar, jagugu88li, ADECULATE, Amenaghwon, okorro1, Simplebea, Nmaglit, DADDYSLY, osleek, xamster, sirOrubebe, Bobbybube, Tunde watched the countryside go by as they drove along the expressway to Owerri, deep in thought. Tunde wished his driver would go a bit faster, isn’t there any quicker route he asked his driver as it seemed they had been driving for ever. ‘Oga, this is the fastest and safest way for us to go, Sir. We will be there soon’ as he continued driving. The driver had said the same sentence to him three times already, but he decided to keep quiet. He was on his way to Linda’s parents’ home, she had been quite tearful the last time he spoken to her on the phone. She didn’t think her Father would make it, he had been diagnosed with cancer. She must have been very distraught because when he had asked her if she needed any financial assistance, she had said no. ‘Linda baby, are you ok? You sound very tearful’ he said into the phone. ‘Oh Tunde, my Father is very ill, they think it is cancer. We need to take him to another hospital’ as she sobbed down the phone. ‘Do you need me to send some money to you, baby, I am sorry to hear that’ ‘I am ok on that front, thank you. It’s just a lot for me to take in’ she said. ‘I will speak to you tomorrow’ she said as she ended the call. He had heard the anguish in her voice, which was why he had lost it with Enitan when he had received the email with the video. It was obvious that it had been doctored, who did Enitan think she was kidding. She wanted to get back at him and Linda. Well she would have to deal with it, with him being with Linda. He didn’t even know why Enitan bothered, he had not been near her sexually for over two years and he certainly wasn’t interested in her anymore. If she stayed she could continue cooking for him and Linda, Enitan was a very good cook. He was allowed two wives if he wanted and if she couldn’t take it she could leave. She had already asked for a divorce, so it did not bother him good riddance he thought. He had been speaking to Linda every day, ever since she had gone to see her sick Father, she was the one who had suggested that he come down and see her as she missed him a lot. He had felt touched when she said that, hence why he was making the journey from Lagos to Owerri to see her. He had kept the flat she stayed in, in good shape for her eventual return. Tunde reminded himself that he needed to go and see his Doctor, he had noticed that he was getting very tired and forgetful recently. It could be the stress at work, he thought to himself. Most Nigerian companies were going through a lot of turmoil due to the current economic uncertainty. He put a reminder in the phone to call the Doctor and book an appointment for a check-up. Two hours later they arrived at Linda’s parents’ house. He knocked on the door and a middle aged woman opened the door. ‘Good afternoon, Sir’ she said, from the half opened door. ‘Good afternoon Ma’ Tunde said. ‘I am here to see Linda. I hope her Father is recovering well?’ he said. Confusion appeared on the woman’s face, as she opened the door a bit wider. ‘Linda isn’t here. We have not seen her eye to eye since last year.’ The woman continued. ‘I am her Mother’ ‘We normally speak to her every week without fail, however since she met her new boyfriend her calls became less frequent’ distress showed on her face. ‘My husband? Linda’s Father passed away a few years ago. God Rest his soul’ ‘He will be turning in his grave if he saw…’ she stopped herself. ‘Who are you?.’ Linda’s Mother asked. TBC |

Chapter 13 Devine put his head through Eliora’s door ‘a body has been washed up on the beach in town. They think it might be related to one of the cases you are reviewing. I need you to go down and interview the man who found the body’ ‘Get down there as soon as possible, let me know if you need anything’ as he headed out of her office. Eliora quickly shut down her computer and headed out of her office. The island of Sheppey, was 30 miles long and the beach ran from Sheerness to Leysdown. The island had been the beach of choice for a lot of Londoners before the allure of the cheap flights to Spain had taken holiday makers away from the island, since then it had slipped into genteel decline, the high street was home to more charity shops than high street multiples. The body had washed up near the Tesco end of the beach. Eliora parked in the car park near the sand pit, it was not hard to find out where the body had been found as there were people standing in groups near the steps leading to the beach. This had been blocked off by a police officer, keeping the nosy people at bay. Eliora changed her shoes for the boots she kept in her boot, no point spoiling her shoes. She locked the car and walked over. As she tried to cut through the crowds she could hear people talking at her saying where did she think she was going. She approached the police officer standing in front of the police tape by the steps. ‘Excuse me Miss, no one is allowed through’ trying to scare her off with a stern look. ‘Officer Lucas’ showing her badge. ‘I need to see the body and speak to the witness who made the discovery. ‘Sorry Ma’am’ the PC spluttered, surprise clearly mirrored on his face. ‘The Doctor is on the scene and the witness is with PC Patel on the left as you go down the steps’ Eliora noticed some people looking at her and pointing wondering who she was, it was only a matter of time before the media descended on the town she thought to herself as she took the steps and she needed to be out of here before that happened. She couldn't afford to have her face posted on social media, she was here to hide. Sheerness beach was more rock beach than sand and was quite popular with the locals. The PC must have radioed through as she got a better reception from the other PC standing next to the witness. She could see activity a few feet further up, but she turned her attention to the man sitting on the sand with a dog beside him. ‘Officer Lucas’ she said introducing herself to the man, he was in his 60’s, balding and thickening around the waist. He looked dazed and a bit pale. ‘I am Colin Shirl, it was Buster who saw it’ pointing to the dog. Eliora noticed that the dog turned its head towards her as if it had something to say. That would be the day she thought and sighed, could things get weirder. ‘Buster was barking at something near the edge of the water, I thought it was a bundle of clothes, but as I looked closer I saw that it looked like a child, but the stomach had a big gash. I could not get over the shock and brought up my lunch nearby before I calmed down enough to call the police’ grimacing. ‘Did you notice anything else’ Eliora asked as she wrote the information in her notebook. ‘Not really, it could be due the exceptionally high tide we had yesterday.’ ‘But who would do something like that to a child? There was another one like that years ago, they found that near the Rochester, they said that he was used for rituals’ ‘Those people are animals, we should send them away,’ realising what he had just said, he tried to apologise. Eliora went on writing in her notebook – she could hear all his thoughts. ‘these people are animals, how can they do this to children. they never caught the person who did the last one.’ Eliora closed her notebook, ‘here is my card, if you think of anything else, please don’t hesitate to call me. You are free to go, if we have any more questions we will be in touch.’ Eliora walked over to where the Pathologist was examining at the body. The area was teeming with SOCO people; a man in his late fifties was bent over what looked like a bundle of clothes. He looked over his shoulder ‘Officer Lucas?’ ‘Yes’ she replied, trying to get a closer look. ‘How long has the body been in the water Doctor?’ Eliora asked opening her notebook, ‘Can’t tell you that yet, will have to go back to the lab and perform more tests, however the heart and some other organs are missing,’ getting up and dusting down his paper gown. ‘Is it a boy or girl?’ ‘A young woman actually,’ he replied. ‘Do you think the body was dumped here or washed ashore Doctor?’ Eliora asked. ‘Body was washed ashore; there was a very high tide last night. It might be advisable to get the boat people and some divers to see if they can dredge any thing else up in the water. It’s going to be a very big watery crime scene.’ his face looking very sombre. Eliora bent closer to the remains; bent down to get a better look at the body. The body looked like a rubbery toy that had been left out for long time. There was no head, the big gash on the torso made it look horrible. Water seeped from the gap where the heart and the other bits should have been. There was no blood, which was testament to the fact the body could have been in the water for a long time. Eliora was overcome by a feeling of light headiness, followed by the hairs on her arms tingling, getting to her feet she saw the boy, standing not too far away, glaring at her with anger on his face. |
