CHAPTER THIRTY

Ini hurried up the stairs to ward 19, the ward where Mr Kolawole, Amarachi's father had been admitted after he had collapsed suddenly at home.

Ini received the emergency call from Amarachi's mother that Saturday evening that the man had been rushed to the hospital and it was required that they made a deposit payment of eighty thousand naira for treatment to continue. The woman had no choice than to call Ini for help since she couldn't get to Amarachi.

Ini had responded swiftly and transferred the total sum of eighty thousand naira to the hospital account for the treatment to continue after which she promised to come check on them in the hospital the next day.

As she climbed up the stairs, she thought of Amarachi who was in prison and unaware of her father's recent admission in the hospital, she remembered her vow never to have anything to do with Amarachi again but it was impossible for her to ignore the father's condition and allow the man die like that.

"Good afternoon Aunty Ini" Sophia greeted as she met with Ini on the stairs.

"How are you Sophie?"

"I'm fine" she replied, " mummy told me that you had come and I should come and pick you"

"Thank you, so how is your dad now? Is he responding to treatment?"

"He's still unconscious" Sophia answered almost silently, with a sad look on face as she embraced Ini. "But the doctor said they have to carry out an operation on him immediately and it will cost about five hundred thousand naira"

"It's okay, don't worry. Let's go to your mum"


+++++++++++++++++++++++

"Doctor, what's the situation like now?" Helen asked as the Doctor led her and Uche to the ward.

"Critical, but he's still alive. He would have died yesterday if you guys had delayed a minute later with the police report"

"But is he okay now?"

"Not yet , I don't know if he'll make it out alive"

"Wow! "

Dennis was seated in the ward with his eyes fastened to Bode. He looked rough and unkempt.

"Inspector" he stood up immediately Helen and Uche walked in with the doctor. "Inspector, thank God you're here"

"Mr. Dennis, how did it happen?" Helen asked, moving closer where Bode laid lifelessly on the hospital bed. She stared at Bode's face and gripped the hospital bed clothing, clouds of tears gradually formed in her eyes.

"He was shot immediately I dropped him off" Dennis explained with sorrow in his voice. "I heard the gunshot as I turned and was about to drive off"

"But you didn't drop him at home" Uche joined

"Yes, he asked me to drop him there. He wanted to eat in the restaurant"

"Did you see where the gunshot came from?" Uche asked.

"No, I only heard the sound of the shot"

"And you didn't notice anything suspicious around?"

"No, not at all. I just dropped him off and turned to leave"

"Hmmm... That's strange, but what were you guys discussing on your way home?"

"We were not discussin... We stopped somewhere on the way"

"Where?"

"He said it was Bola's house, but we met the gate locked"

"What did you guys want to do there?"

"Bode said he wanted to see the gateman"

"For what?"

"I don't know, he didn't tell me"

"Okay, I understand that you've not rested since yesterday. One of our officers will stay here with Bode, you can go home but we'll want you to be at our station this evening. We need to ask more questions"

"Okay, that's alright" Dennis replied and wore his shoe properly preparing to take his leave.

"Lets go Inspector" Uche said to Helen who was looking emotionally down.


** Fifteen minutes later **

Uche glanced at Helen occasionally as he drove with her to the scene where Bode was shot. She noticed his occasional glances and was getting uncomfortable with it.

"Why are you glancing at me like that?" She asked.

"Oh! Sorry " he smiled. "I'm just baffled"

"Baffled by?"

"What's your relationship with Bode?" He responded her question with another question.

"What do you mean?"

"What do I mean? I saw the way you were shaking all over when you heard he had been shot and you couldn't even control yourself when you saw him on the bed"

Helen did not answer his question but just looked away from him and faced the road.

"I really pray he remains alive" Uche continued, "I believe he knows something about the murder or he knows the murderers"

They drove for fifteen minutes more before they got to the place where Bode was shot, in front of the restaurant. Helen composed herself and went into the restaurant with Uche, they asked for eye witnesses to the incident and questioned them.

Nobody seemed to know where the bullet came from except one old neglected man who doubled as a smoker and drunk, he was despised around the area so nobody took him serious. He insisted that it was a bike man with an helmet covering his face that released the bullet as he rode by.

Helen and Uche took him to a corner to ask more questions, he only insisted that it was a biker who shot the gun but he couldn't describe the bike nor the man, neither did he know where the bike came from or head to.

They left the place and visited Bola's apartment to confirm if the gate was locked and it was. They tried to ask people around for the whereabouts of the gateman but didn't get any useful information. They returned to the office confused and tired.


**5pm, same day **

"Did you see any biker where you parked your car?" Uche questioned Dennis

"No"

"What about after you heard the gunshot?"

"I didn't see any bike"

"Okay, did Bode speak to anybody on phone while you were on your way home?"

"No, he didn't call anyone but maybe he was chatting with someone because I saw him busy with his phone at some point"

"Okay then, we may have to check his phone if we can find any clues at all"

"Here" Dennis handed the phone to Uche. "It fell into the car from his pocket when I rushed him to the hospital"

Uche collected and examined the phone for some seconds, "it's passworded"

"Yes, it is. We can't the phone now"

"No, we'll get our IT man to open it for us now" Uche stood up from his seat and was his way when Helen entered into the office.

"Where are you going to?" She asked.

"We need to unlock this phone, I want to take it to Femi"

"Hehe" Helen chuckled. "You seem to have forgotten that today is Sunday, Femi won't be here till tomorrow"

"Oh that's true" Uche replied, not happy.

"Yeah, the doctor just called now. Bode is awake, we have to get there"

"Oh! Yes sure, let's go" Uche replied and took his ID card on the table .

"I'm coming with you guys but I'll ride in my car, I'll meet you there"

"Okay, Mr. Dennis" Helen replied and they went their separate ways.

*-*-*-*

"I strongly believe that Bode knows the murderer, and the murderer may be someone at that restaurant area" Uche commented after driving in silence until they were few seconds away from the hospital gate.


"I don't just know what to think at all, everything is getting complicated"

"I think it's getting easier now, Bode is awake and I hope he'll be able to tell us something useful" he said as he parked at the front of the gate and saluted the security guards who searched the car and check the booth.

After some seconds of thorough checking, they were handed a pass ticket and allowed in. They spotted Dennis driving in few seconds after they parked in the parking space. They waited for him to join them before walking together into the hospital building.

"How is he doing Doc?" Helen asked with deep concern in her voice.

"He's awake now" the doctor replied, leading them to the new ward. "He regained consciousness about one hour ago but has not been able to talk"

"He's not been able to talk? Maybe he hasn't regained enough strength to"

"Yes, he hasn't regained enough strength but I don't think that's the reason he can't talk" the doctor paused his steps to explain. "We'll transfer him to another section very soon where some specialists would attend to him"

"When will he be okay?"

"I don't know when he'll be strong for now but he's out of danger already"

"Oh! Thank God" Helen exclaimed, her face lit up slightly with joy, Dennis also smiled visibly, Uche was paying attention to other wards they passed by.

"So when will he be able to talk to us?" Helen asked.

"That I can't say" the doctor continued walking. "I don't know how, but he seems to have lost his ability to speak"

"Huh?" Uche and Helen exclaimed in unison.

"How can that be? How did the bullet affect his tongue?" Uche asked with much seriousness.

"I don't know, we just found out that he could not speak anymore

"That's serious" Uche looked agitated, as he seemed to have taken over from Helen who looked saddened again. "But can he write?"

"Yes, he would be able to use his hands but not now, maybe in seven days time" the Doctor replied, he stopped at a ward and opened the door.

A junior police officer was in the ward with Bode, he saluted and took excuse to walk out as he saw Bode and Helen.

Bode laid on the bed like a lifeless body but his eyes was opened. He couldn't move his body well but he responded by moving his fingers as he heard his visitor's voices.

"Bode" Helen muttered as she got close to him and tried to hold his hand, he just stared at her without moving or responding.

"He can't talk yet" the doctor reminded them.

"We'll make sure we get those who are responsible for this, they won't go unpunished" she bent towards him and whispered to his hearing.

He responded with a slight smile, she smiled back at him and released his palm from her soft grip.

"We'll be back" she said and walked towards the door.

"Let's see Doc" she said to the doctor and walked out with him, followed by Uche.

Dennis moved closer to Bode, he saw Bode's retina moved to his direction.

"You'll be fine soon" he said softly with a smile. "I'll be back, let me hear what they have to tell the doctor.

He was about to open the door when he heard something. He turned back to confirm, Bode called his name again. He rushed back to the bed.

"You can talk ?" Dennis exclaimed with great surprise in his eyes.

"Don't let them know" Bode cautioned, "I don't have much strength, listen carefully"

"Okay, go ahead" Dennis looked back to be sure no one was watching, he placed his arms on the side of the bed and paid attention

"You have to find Bola's gateman. The last exhibit we saw, that rag. You know it's a half part"

"Yes?"

"I saw the other part at that Gateman's office, I used it to clean my trouser the last time I went there"

"Oh!"

"I believe the gateman carried out the murder or the person who did it divided the rag into two"

"Okay, did you see the person who shot you?"

"Yes, he was on a bike but his face was covered. He ..." Bode could not continue as Helen and Uche walked in with the doctor.

Dennis bent his head over the bed like someone who was crying, Helen and Uche looked at them suspiciously.
