EPISODE 152



AS THUNDER GROWLED ABOVE... FRANCIS GRUDGINGLY FOLLOW TAKA AS HE LEAD HIM INTO THE BUSH....

Heartrenting he drag his feet behind him,not sure of where they were going.......
"Where are we going..... ?he ask when he couldn't take it anymore....

"Are you scared....? Taka ask.....

He nib his lip... Frowning at the sound of the question...... "Am... Just curious..... "

"We are here..... "Taka said standing....

Francis look at the small hut built with palm fronts and leaves..... Then he fix his gaze back on him.... "Is this your idea of not getting wet by the rain....?

Taka shrugged..... Then he walk in.. Lowering his head to aviod hitting the top...... "Come in... The leaves will shield us from the rain..... "

"Seriously......! Francis boom out.. His eyes wandering on the whatever he has built.......

Inside it lies an empty big bag that he used as a bed...

"It's getting dark and it's gonna rain... We've nowhere to go..... "

"No we do."Francis interjects.... "We can ask for help.... "

Taka chulkled.... "If someone wanted to give us shelter for the night... Trust me.. I will be the first to know that..... "

"You are crazy if you think am going to sleep here with you.... "he scan his eyes around..... "This bush.... "

"It's not really a bush... Is just a place covered with grasses and trees.. Trust me is very relaxing at night.... You feel like you're in heaven when the cool wind of the night prick your skin.... "

Francis bug his eyes at him..... "Have you slept here before.......?

"Yeah.... More times than i can remenber..... "

Francis scan around again... The bushes sending shivers to his body..... "And nothing came creeping in your body.....

"Are you talking about snakes.....?

Francis quivered at the thought of it... "Yeah that's one thing.....

"You don't have to worry about the snakes.. Am friends with them..... "

"What.....? Francis boom out

"I mean i have killed so many of them in this place.. So anytime i come here again.. They don't disturb me... And i don't know why... I thought at first they were scared of me.. Scared to die.. And then again i thought they've learnt how to live here with me.. So i considered them as friends..... "

"You are absolutely crazy if you think a snake can be your friend.... You have killed many of them which makes you their enemy... An enemy they won't hesitate before they bite..... "

Taka slack-jawed his eyes.... "Since you will be sleeping here with me.. Do i have to worry about that....

"Am not sleeping here with you.. Am not getting killed by snakes or any wild creatures in this bush..... "

"I was actually going to say.. If the snakes sees me as their enemy... To get back at me.. You will be the first person they will bite..... "

His words sent shivers to Francis... He grunts wondering what sort of human he is..... "This isn't funny Cata...

"It's Taka..... "

"Yeah Taka whatever....am.. ...

"Do you even know how i got that name.....? Taka cut in...

Francis inhale deeply irritated.....

Unexpectedly..the rain came pouring down..... Each bullets of it hitting Francis... Wetting his almost dried shirt again... Quickly without an invitation he rushed into the palmfonts house Taka has made....

The rain grew heavier.. some drop of water began to makes its way into the hut.....

Taka was right.... The leaves will shade them from the rain....

He stood watching as the water pour into the ground.. The fiercely sound of it made him remenber coccus.... The four of them taking shade under a tree.....
The thoughts of Katherine creep into his head..... He took a deep breathe wondering how he was going to live without her..... But he knew he needs to.. He took that decision the moment he decided go home.. Not to see her again.......

"So as i was saying..... "Taka said interrupting his thoughts......

"What was i even saying? Taka ask with clenched teeth

Francis glance at him... Then he turn his gaze back to the rain.. Regretting why he didn't leave earlier for Akpatu.... He listened to this lunatic... He's stuck with him here.. In a leaf house.. In the middle of the bush..... A place where wild and creeping animals call home.....

"How you got your name.... "Francis said after much silence...

"Ya.... Our community was at war with a neighboring village.... ...my father was one of the warriors who went for the war.....my mother was in labour when he left..... "He huffs then continued.... "Many of the warriors were killed in battle... My father was starved but miraculously he survived.. Do you know what he said kept him alive......?

Francis glance at him... He was barely listening to his story.... His mind was fixed on how he was going to arrived in Akpatu...... "No..... "he said shabbily

"He said the thought of me been born kept him alive.... So when he got home... I was in my mother's arm..... He lay his bleeding hand in my head and named me Taka meaning the one who is strong in battle....."

"Really....... "Francis bug his eyes at him...

"Ya... That explains my big muscles..... "He said bulging out his arm muscles.....

"Oh i see... They are very big.... Only the kind of muscles that can build this nonsense we are underneath in a bush......"

"The nonsense is saving you from getting drench by the rain.... "

Francis exhales but didn't reply....

"Do you know why i built this place.....? He ask.. More gentle in his voice....

Francis suck his teeth praying the rain stop quickly before everywhere gets dark.. He needs to find somewhere to sleep... It was better than sleeping in a bush filled with snakes... with a lunatic....

When Francis gave no reply..he trotted on with his story..... Memories began flooding back into his head...... "After my parents were killed..... People threw all sorts of insult at me. Some labelled me a witch.. Said i killed my own parent..... "

Francis quickly shift his gaze to him when he saw the seriousness in his voice

"No one but me saw the men that killed my parent.... "He sniff.. Wipe off the tear that was forming in his eyes..... The painful memory of his mother screaming as she was been cut echoed in his head....... "Most people thought i killed them myself.....

"Why would they think so......? Francis quickly ask....

He scoffs..... "I was stubborn... Even at such a young age.... I was the most stubborn child the community had... They nicknamed me horrible.... "

"Horrible.....! Francis resounded.......

"Ya..... I watch the killers buchered my parents.... They force me to watch.. To see what it means when someone cross their part.....

"Oh my God...... !Francis exclaimed with doleful eyes..... His worst memories revisit him....his screams Calling out his father as his brother drag him away echoed in his head.... "That must had been so traumatising for you.... How did you survive that..... ?

He nib his lips.... "After they left.... I pick up the cutlass they had used in killing them.. Blood dripping from it.... I was furious. My tears became rage.. All i felt at that moment was killing them back.....just then a woman saw me... The cutlass was still in my hand..... She raised alarm... Alerting the rest of the villagers..... "

"That explains why you were call a witch......?

He nodded... A layer of tear dropping from his eyes..... "People believed...they thought i was capable of doing such because i was stubborn..... "He took a slight pause.. Changing his sitting position...... "They took me to the king..... "

"And what did the king do? francis ask curiously

"He believed the crowd saying i killed my parent..... No one believed my story.... The king said i was a cursed child.. He spat on me and barnished me"

"Oh no Taka.. Am really sorry.... "

"Don't be.... It was a long time ago... I have forgotten about it.... "

"But you just told me..... "

"Yeah, we are bored... I don't have any other story to tell so i told you that.. The story of my life.... "He rest his head on the ground...... ",So i came here, to this village... I had no where to stay... I built this place.. It was my home until granny and pappy found me..... "he took a deep breathe... "Soon the rain is going to stop if you still insist on begging the villagers to take you in for the night.... You are free..... "

Francis exhales and sat beside him...... "I've slept in worst places... "

They both gigled... With that he lie down beside him.....

"So what's your story.... Not everyday someone show up in the riverbank..... Did you get lost.....? Taka ask...

Francis took a deep breathe.... The thought of what had happened creep back into his head.... Barbara fell into that river. She was the sacrifice for his return.. He wonder if he can ever forgive himself for that.. As much as he wanted to get home.. He needed no sacrifice in doing that..... He would have stayed if the princess hasn't taking decisions into her own hands.....

His mind wander to that moment.. The moment they kissed.... Her mouth on his.... Her body touching his... That intense moment...... Then the most embarrassing moment of his life surfaced.... Vuga had walked in.......

"Hello thinker...... "

He sprang back to the present when Taka's voice interrupted his thoughts....... "Actually that is a long story..... "

"More longer than mine.....?

He hesitated..... Then he answered.... "Yes.... "

"Your life must have been shreds and pieces.... "

He chulkled........ "So what happened to the men that killed your parent....?he ask anxiously.. He knew he shouldn't have ask... Shouldn't bring back that memory but he was curious... Wondering if he was feeling what he was feeling... The passion for revenge devoured him... It eats through him everyday....... "Where they caught....?

"No..... "Taka replied....

Francis inhale......the bad men are always escaping... His mind dwell on how his father's murderers were doing.. What kind of life were they living.. Who is sitting in his father's throne..... Akpatu won't be the same again.. He knew that for a fact........... "You said you were barnished... Was it possible they were caught after you left.... ?

"No..... "He muttered...

Francis exhales.. Wondering what made him so sure they weren't....."It's been long you got banished from there... They could have killed someone else and they were caught..... "

"They weren't caught and they didn't kill anyone else.... "

"Are you sure of that... ?,You were somewhere else... You couldn't have known what was going on...... "

"They didn't kill anyone else because i made sure of that..... "

Shocked.... Francis sat up..... "What do you mean you made sure.....?

Taka sigh.... A wry smie curve his lips..... "I killed them... Every last one of them........."

EPISODE 30




UNABLE TO THINK STRAIGHT... MARY FIX HER GAZE ON JASMINE.... the message resounding in her head...'Dont trust Jasmine'.....

Moments ago they'd called the number that sent the message it was switched off... It was a total different number from the first one that had sent them that death message....... Sharon was right.. The killer is closer than they think.. How else will the killer got her number.... How did the killer knew she was at that police station....

She grunts.. Her head bubbling up different questions........ What the motorcycle guy had told her was fresh in her head... She was inclined to meet Pope...but she knew she can't do that without Sharon's help......

"So na how ona do reach.....? Jasmine ask breaking the silence..

Mary snort..... "How we what......?

"How ona do reach for ona side na... Sharon fit trace the number.....?

Mary swallowed.... "No she didn't.... They ask for a police report before they could do that..... "

"Enhe.... "She boom out slamming her hands against her legs.... "Why ona nor carry police report go....?

Mary exhales.. Not sure if she should tell her about the motorcycle guy.... The message creep back into her head... 'Dont trust Jasmine... '....she inhale.. Sucking in all the air she can get...... "The police don't believe us.... They think we are lying about Manny's disappearance...... "

"Ahhh.....!, dem still dey think like that for dis serious mata... Na wetin be their problem......?

Mary snort.. Tossing back a strap of her hair...then she realise she hasn't really ask her about the chief..... "So how did yours go... Did you find out anything from the chief...... ?

Jasmine nib her lip..... "Dem nor go see amm first.... "She said changing her sitting position.... "The yeye girl wen dey pose as secretary nor let me see amm o..... "

"So you didn't meet him.....? Mary said with a feeling of disappointment....

"That fine bobo wen folo me ni suggest say mak i call lann for phone..... Ni i pick my phone call lann.....

"And what happened... Did he come out.....?

"Come out keh.....!.....she inhale.... "He nor com out o.. We arrange to meet later for hotel o...... "She took a slight pause... Fear creeping in.... "Bae i nor go lie you, i dey fear oo, i nor sure say i go fit go.... "

"You can't abandon the plan now... This was the plan all along...you get him to a hotel and you get him drunk so he can spill the truth...... "Mary boom out...

"I dey fear...... "She bug her eyes at her.... "Wat if as i reach dere, ni he gbag me inside motor boot, na wetin i go do..... ?

"Why would he do that....?

"I nor understand........ Nor be you dey yarn for yah say Manny blackmail amm....

Mary exhales..... "Look Jasmine... You need to do this... For Manny..... "

"Bae to do dis tin nor hard.... Na fear i dey fear.... E fi be say the chief dey pretend... Maybe Manny blackmail amm... And na me introduce the girl give amm... Wetin you fink say he go do wen he see me........ "she pause waiting for her answer...... "He go draw line for my throat with knife...... "

"So you are not doing it..... "Mary boom out abruptly

"Na which angle you dey reason from sef......, if you see this case from whre i dey see amm from... You go know say this thing wen you want mak i do so na risky to life........ "

Mary inhale at her own outburst... Just then she realise she wasn't fair... Wasn't thinking straight....... It was dangerous for Jasmine to go there.... If truly Manny blackmailed him... Jasmine could be in danger if she sees the chief.....

"Am sorry.... "She said with clenched teeth... Catching her breath....

"E don do nor worry... I go do am.... "

Mary glance at her.... "No you can't........ "She suck her teeth.... "Do that.... ,don't do it again.... "

"I say mak you nor worry... I go go....

Sharon's footsteps interrupted them....

Mary turn her gaze to Sharon who had changed her clothes..... She wore a pair of navy blue jean and a white top.... Her purse in her hand......

"Where are you going....? Mary ask quickly...

Sharon gritted..... "To see Pope..... "

"What....! Mary boom out.. Shocked... "Why are you going there..... "

Sharon rolled her eyes..... "Look we still need to know if the senator has Manny and Pope seem to be the only one who can get to him....

"I thought you said Francis was doing that....?

Sharon snort..... "Have you heard anything from Francis..... ?

Mary jut her chin.. A NO expression etched on her face...... "Is that why you are going to see Pope....?

"Yes..... I believe i can convince him..... "

"He made it clear he isn't going to help..... "

"I know that..... "Sharon interjects..... She suck her teeth..... "Look... I need to do this... Atleast try to convince him to see reasons why he needs to do it... Since the police has decided not to help... We need to get help in any way we can.... "

"Then am coming with you..... "

"No you can't.... "Sharon cut in shapily....... "Pope doesn't like you and you coming with me will make it worse..... "

Mary exhales...... "Just be careful around him... I don't trust him.... "

Sharon scoffs.... She took a step.. Her eyes meeting Jasmine... She eyed her and walk out... From the door... From the house.....





**********************
With a huff.. Francis insert the key into the door mouth..... He went into his house when the door opened.... His earlier conversation with Micah came running to his head....

Micah could be right... Maybe he doesn't know where Manny is.....
He slammed the door... Confused on what next to do.... He threw himself on the chair.....
He quivered when his phone began to vibrate in his pocket.....

He swallowed hard.... When he saw the caller was Peter.... He took a deep breathe... Micah must have probably told him he sent him a message with his phone..... He crocked his throat... Exhaling... Then he answered the call.....

"What is wrong with you man......? Peter raved the moment the call connected....

Francis gritted.... "Look Pete i can explain....

"Explain the fact that you sent Micah a message to meet you with my phone..... You think i wouldn't know because you deleted the message..... "

Francis inhale..... "Am sorry but i needed to talk with him....

"What is going on with you man.... ?...there was a slight pause then Peter's voice came again..... "Your obsession for this girl is making you do stupid things... What did you intend to get from talking to Micah.....?

Slightly irritated by Peter's words... He said.... "Look i think Micah knows something....

"Knows what...? Peter ask shapily...

Francis swallowed.... "I think he knows where Manny is..... "

"You need help man.... Dragging yourself into Manny's problem isn't going to get you your girl.. You are acting like a child....

"Am not acting like a child"Francis cut in harshly... Exasperation in his voice....... He suck in... "Look i know what am saying... Is either he has Manny or he knows someone who does.... "

"And how exactly did you know that....?

"I just have the feeling... An instinct...... "

"You can't go around accusing people of abducting Manny.... If someone has taken her... You getting yourself involved is getting yourself killed.... A friendly advice.., stay away..... "

"I can't stay away now... Am too deep into it.... "

"Then undeep yourself"Peter blared out from the other end..... "You need to stop doing this and don't ever use my phone to call Micah again......."

"I get that.... "Francis muttered anger sweeping through him...

"Take care man.... "

The phone call ended as the last words from Peter sounded....

Francis drop the phone....thinking hard how and when he is going to get his girl back.....






**********************
Eyes swollen. Blood flowing freely from her leg.... Head spinning.... She open her eyes.... Breathe heavy.. She raise her head as she heard the cranky sound on the table.... Her eyes were wary... Hazy.... The images were small but as she open her eyes widely... It became clearer... Bigger......

She sneer..... Her heart throbbing.... Her open injuries pricking the pains into her body...

She grimaced with bloodied face.... ...she raise her head to face him.... Anger tinge with pain sweeping through her...... "Why dont you just kill me"She muttered.....

He scoffs.... A low laughter followed then he turn to face her with the mask on his face....... "Wouldn't that be too easy for you...... You don't deserve that kind of easy death considering the hearts you have shred to pieces.... "

She swallowed hard... Blood dripping from her leg into the ground... Her clothes tattered with blood stain.....
The stench of her hair sniffing into her nose..... "I don't deserve this torture..... "She said faintly...

"Oh sweetlove, you deserve more than it........ Do you even care to turn around to see how those you broke their heart were feeling.. If they were doing good...., I heard one of them committed suicide recently.... What was his name again....Mmm...... "He rolled his eyes in the air.... "Gat it... Jeremy.... He couldn't take the heartbreak you gave him so boom.... He killed himself... Just like that... "

"I never broke Jeremy's heart.... "She said with quivering mouth......

"Really... Is what you tell yourself....?

"There was another girl involved... Moreover i found love in someone else..... "

"Of course... You found love..... You love SUN?

She jerk her neck... Sneer in pains..... "Just kill me please..... "

"Are you just going to die without knowing what you did to me....?

She glared at him.... "I have ask you that many times and many times you didn't tell me... I gave up....

He scoffs..... "Abusa Godfrey.... ring a bell.... "

Shock swept through her when she remenbered...... "Abusa Godfrey is dead..... "

"Yes he is... You killed him..... "

She scoffs... Then spat on the floor... "Now i know you are crazy.... I wasn't even in town when he died.... I heard he died in a ghastly motor accident when i came back..... "

"That isn't the whole story and you know that.... "

"Can you cut me some slacks.... Abusa Godfrey died a year ago....... "She quivered...."Are you related to him.... You think i killed him.. That's why you are torturing me..... ?she hollered

"Am torturing you because you killed him.... "He yelled back....... "You broke his heart.... He went into a bar and he got drunk because he couldn't take the heartbreak... On his way home he had that accident that claimed his life..... "

"I didn't do that.... Godfrey understood the kind of relationship we had.... I told him i wasn't ready to marry but he keeps pushing me.. Pressuring me... I gave him distance... I didn't leave him.. I traveled to think what i want.. What i want to do... Do you know how bad i felt when the news of his death the first thing that welcomed me when i came back..... I was going to say yes to his proposal..... "

"Your excuse is useless..... "He yelled.... "You left with a message on his phone that you are breaking up... He try to reach you back.. He called you many times... You didn't answer... He searched for you and it drove him crazy.........

"It wasn't my fault.... "Manny shouted

"It's your fault.... "He yelled back... Anger surging through him....... "The heartbreak you gave to him cost him his life..... His family...... And you are going to pay for it..... "

With those words he pick up a kinife from the table.....

"No no no.... "She whimpered in tears as he drew the knife close to her.....

Without hesitation... He stab her leg... The knife piercing in...

She gave a loud agonizing scream...... "Please stop.... "She grimaced in pains... Tears bursting out of her eyes.........

Eyes sparkling anger... The anger overwhelming him.. Controlling him.. He glared at her then he pulled out the knife.. Blood gushed out with it.......... "You are going to pay bitch.... All of you are going to pay...... "

She cried in pain....... Her leg bleeding profusely.....

He sniff.... Exasperation engulfing him...... "When am done with you, i will go after your friends... I won't rest until i wipe all of you from existence........a promise was made, a promise must be fulfilled...... "





WHAT PROMISE COULD THAT BE........?

ODUMODU IS DEAD........? Chief Carlos boom out... Stroked in his voice.....

"That's what Mayo just said.... "Buzo replied... Still a bit skeptical...

"How did that happened.....? Carlos quickly ask.. With muffled lips...

"He said he had an accident.... Someone took him to the hospital but he didn't make it...... "

Carlos slack-jawed his eyes..... "This isn't good...... "

"Are you thinking Carter is behind this.....? Buzo ask when his expression changed.....

Carlos scoffs.. He jut his chin.. His glass of wine in his hand.... He still couldn't believe Odumodu is dead........... "Did Mayo say where he was coming from when he had the accident..... ?

"He didn't mention....., I can't still believe.... Odumodu is dead...... "

"Something is wrong...... "Carlos muttered with clenched teeth... He quickly gulp down the remaining wine left on the glass... Then he drop the glass on the table and it made a cranking sound...

Buzo didnt say anything... He just stood and look at Carlos... Odumodu death news still ringing afresh in his head.....
He quickly recall the call that was placed to Carlos.... Someone knew what they did five years ago..a female.........

"The timing can't be a coincidence..... A look alike of the dead prince comes to town and one of us end up dying after a few days....... "Carlos said....

"What if it isn't him......? Buzo queried....... "What if you are wrong.. He could be Ferico Carter...

"He could be Pious..... "

Buzo sniff.... "If he's Pious, how did he got so much money......we took everything his father owned..... "

Carlos sat back on the chair.... That was what worries him.... How did he get so much money......

"Look Carlos.. You could be making a mistake thinking he is Pious when he is not... We have an issue on our hand now.... We need to find that girl that called you...whoever she is..... We need to know what she knows.... Then we'll put her down.. We can't risk anything that will open what we did five years to the public... It will be disastrous to us.... And we have 24hours to do that...... "

They turn thier attention to the door when it cranked open.....

"Chief someone drop this for you..... "One of Buzo thug said walking up to him.....

"Who sent it....? Buzo ask collecting the envelope from him....

"A guy... He said it was for you..... "

Buzo signalled him to leave...

The thug did as he had said...

Slowly Buzo open the letter... He brought out the folded sheet of paper from it.... With curiousity he unfold it...eye opening.. His head jolting into collision.... He gaze at the words written on the paper....

"What is it....? Carlos ask when he saw the shock expression etched on his face......

Buzo quickly give him the paper to read out himself.....
Consternation sinking in... Carlos knit his jaw....... He widen his eyes as he read the words aloud..... "I know what you did five years ago.... You have 24hours to go to the police station and confess your sins or am going public..... "he groan as the last words drip from his mouth...... "What nonsense.... "he yelled.......

Just then.. Carlos phone rang again... He quickly pick up the phone.. It was chief Azuka calling...... He emit then he answered the call.....

"What's going on Carlos.....? Chief Azuka's crocked voice sounded....

"What is it.....? Carlos ask...

"I just got a letter saying.....i know what you did five years ago, you have 24hours to go to the police station and confess your sins or am
going public....... "

Carlos groaned.... "We got same message......

"Who could be sending us this message.......? Chief Azuka blared out... Consternation in his voice....

Carlos huffs.... "I have no idea but we are searching for her.....

"A her.....! Chief Azuka hollered... Shock sunken.. in his voice...... "A her sent this message... Who could she be....?

"We are working on that... Soon we will get desired result..... "

"I want her dead Carlos... We can't risk anyone knowing what we did five years ago..... "Azuka yelled from the other end...

Carlos exhales...... "Call the rest of the chiefs... Ask if they received any message like that.... If they do.... "he glance at his watch...... "It's evening already... The 24hours expires tomorrow..... Let everyone come to my house for a meeting tomorrow morning....... "

With those words the call ended..... Eyes sparkling anger..... Carlos quickly called the anonymous number.... He growled when it was switched off.....

"We need to find that girl...... "Buzo said shapily....





**************************
The DPO slammed the door behind him the moment he entered his office....
He look at the files on the table... He pick one up.... He flip through the pages then he dropped it back.....

He lean his back on the chair.... He exhales when he saw his wife and little kid picture on the table.....
A smile curve his lip... He must have left the picture on the table when he went home earlier....

With a smiling face.. He pick up the picture....
He love his wife and his little baby even more than words can explain....

After the dead of his first wife he was shattered...... He thought he could never be the man he was today... He remenber how his first wife had died... Some group of criminals he was involved in their case had murdered his pregnant wife in cold blood.....

Since then he doesn't hesitate before killing anyone with a gun... That made him heartless.. Ruthless and the most feared DPO..... He sworn to protect the innocent ones bringing the guilty to justice no matter who they are.... He lived a shallowed dark life....

But that changed when he met Theresa.... His new wife who had given him the most beautiful girl.....
She changed him into the happy man he is today though his attitude towards criminals never changed.. It remained stuck....

The painful death of his first wife came revisiting each time someone guilty is brought before him.... Sometimes he takes the law into his own hands and he killed them himself.. Many times he has been suspended for his brutal irrational decisions.....

He exhales and drop the picture back on the table.... Just then a knock came on the door...
He hesitated.. Wondering who could be knocking.... With a huff he muttered.... "Open... "

A policeman came in... He quickly saluted..... "Someone brought this for you sir..... "He said giving him the envelope....

"Who brought it....? He ask curiously taking it from him

"A young boy sir...... "

The envelope in his hand.. He signalled the policeman to leave.... He drop the envelope on the table as the door close after the policeman jas left....

Curiosity of what it is... He pick it.... Brought out the folded sheet of paper..... Then he unfold it....

He adjusted himself when he saw the words written on the envelope....

A feeling of consternation swept through him... Without hesitation.. He pick up his walkie talkie...... "Inspector in my office now.... "He boom out when the walkie talkie connected.....

Inspector Kess and Philip came rushing to the office a minute later.... They saluted when they entered......

The DPO swallowed hard.. His eyes still fixated on the paper.... Then he raise his gaze to them..... He squeaked... Inhale...... "What happened here five years ago......?

Both inspectors stare at each other.....

"So many things happened sir"Kess said wondering why the DPO was suddenly interested in what happened five years ago....

The DPO exhales dropping the letter on the table..... "Let me be specific..... The late king...i believe the former was murdered in the night... Stab wounds all over his body but the case was never solved... No one caught the culprits.... ?

Kess grunts...... "The culprits were never found sir...... "

"Were never found.....

"It was rumoured that the son killed the father so he can become king.....

"But from what i have gathered since i arrived here the present king is actually the son of one of the chiefs...... "The DPO cut in...

"Yes.... The son ran away.... He never came back...... "Kess said with clenched teeth....

The DPO huffs.. Then he reclined his back on the chair.... "I see... So the case was never solved...... ?

"No sir..... "Kess said with gritted teeth... He nib his lips....

"But sir why asking......? Philip ask...

The DPO jut his chin.... With a huff he pick up the sheet of paper...... "Someone sent me this..... "he said tossing it to them.....

Eyes slack-jawed.... Both inspectors read the words on the paper....

Shock sweeping through....Kess ask..... "Who could have sent this?

For a moment.. The DPO just sat staring at the both of them... He suck his teeth then he spoke up..... "It seems so many unsolved cases has sweep away for the past years.... And for something.. This particular one came back..... "

"Sir do you think this person really knows who killed the late king? Philip ask curiously....

The DPO squeaked.... "Whoever this person is.. It seems he/she wants justice for what happened....... "He took a slight pause.... He suck in.... "And Justice is what he/she is going to get.... "

"I don't understand sir.... The case has been forgotten.... "Kess said..

"It came back.. Didn't it......? The DPO ask...... "Which is why we're going to re-open the case...... "He streched his hand towards him....

Kess quickly gave him back the paper when he realise that was what he needed......

"Find out everything that happened that day... Before and after he was killed..... Start digging up the buried dirts...... You can leave.... "

They saluted and left him there...

The DPO quickly look at the letter again..... Then he glance at the number at the button of it....

Without hesitation.. He pick up his phone and dial the number....

It didn't take long before the call was answered.....

"I got your letter"The DPO said shapily....

"Am glad you did.... "The ferminine voice came from the other end...

A jarring awe swept through the DPO as he heard a ferminine voice... He was expecting a male ......."You said you knew who killed the late king five years ago... Do you mind telling me who.....?

"Not yet DPO... I need to trust you first"The voice said..

The DPO scoff... "Trust me..... "A snort followed... "If you didnt trust me you wouldn't send me this...... "

"They will be coming to you"The voice said...

"Who will be coming to me? The DPO ask shapily....

"The murderers..... They are dangerous men,they won't surrounder easily.... I need your full hands on deck..."The voice said..

"Young lady..... Wouldn't it be a bit professional if we meet one on one.... "

"I will meet you but not now.... "The voice said...

The DPO grunts.... "Then tell me... Who are the men... ?

There was slight pause then the voice came up again..... "If they don't come to confess as they should..... Tuned on your radio after 24hours....you will be hearing their names... You will know who they are.... "

"It will be better we meet lady.... I don't like talking to ghost.... "

"Am not a ghost.... "The voice said.... "Am just someone who wants justice for the poor soul that was murdered five years ago.... So be prepared.... The worse is yet to come..... "
