CHAPTER 37

After 4hours in the Cell 5, the officer in-charge ordered his surbodinate to bring Funke out , perhaps her brain would have be open and ready to reveal what was being concealed. She was sweating profusely, she shuddered as she followed the constable to the interrogation room with determination to tell them all the vital information that was therein, she was weak.

"bring her bag" the officer commanded.

There, her phone was brought out of the bag, she had gotten several missed calls on her phone, 80% of the missed call belonged to a contact named "Me" and the other 20% was from random contact.

"where is Omolola?" he asked her again

She was mute again, her face was red.

She was giving a brain reset slap that echoed in her brain minutes after the slap.
"she's at our new apartment" she confessed, let me call her on phone

"what is her contact name on your phone?"

"Me" she said
The officer laughed "so she's the one who had called several times, so she had been expecting you?". Before handing her the phone he gave a strict warning that she dare not let her tongue slip and that she should let her know she will be with her soon so that she would wait for her. she danced to the officer's soon and afterwards he requested for the address to the apartment where she was to meet Lola.


******

The Daniels threw a party for their son's woman who had been missing for months. things became normal again without the fear of anybody hunting her. Soji had asked Luisa's mother if Luisa could stay in his house since staying by herself had been a dangerous idea, she was against it but after several persuasion by her friend she agreed to Luisa staying with Soji. she said it would make her less worried when she goes back to her family knowing she was in safe hands.

Becca had helped Luisa registered for her final exams which she had missed because of her abduction. Soji was helpful, he had took his time to visit the lecturers on her behalf and get her ready for the exams that was to come up in 3weeks. Being a highly intelligent young lady it wasn't difficult for her to assimilate what was revised and taught.

*****

Lola was arrested and locked in a different cell. Funke's torture in the cell was more severe than that which was given to her by the officers.
Becca visited Lola at the station but shamefulness made Lola avoid her face, she didn't see her at all. Luisa refused visiting Lola as she claimed that what was left for her in her mind was nothing but hatred, her love for her has been shattered.
Barely after their arrest, Ms. Peters was found dead in the toilet of the cell which she was locked.

****
Soji took it upon himself to drive her anywhere she wants to go at anytime, He drove her to school for her exams and picked her up once she was through. Their love waxed stronger and their love story was everywhere, on everybody's lips.

SurestG welldone,
thanks for the update

thanks for following

CHAPTER 4


She drove into the garage that is beside the security guard's apartment and pulled over. She could see Fred's favorite car parked at its usual place, the car was not there when she wanted to leave for office and so she was sure he went to work and certainly he was already back home since the two other cars were untouched. She wondered what brought him hom as early as 4pm that day. With her head raised high in the air, she walked into her home in all confidence. She had chosen to walk in like that to avoid another beating, fortunately he was not in the sitting room but the television was on. She climbed the S-shape stairs and headed to her room which was adjacent the master's bedroom which is Fred's bedroom.

"welcome wifey" She stopped battling with trying to open the door as she heard the voice but didn't look up from it.

"Amy my love, I'm greeting you" she rushed to open her door and ran in. She fell and sank into the succulent kingsized bed that was covered with a flowery pink duvet.

Was she dreaming, Fred hasn't been like that in a while. "God why!" not that she expected an answer.

She heard a knock on her door but before she could move to lock it he was already in.
The scent of his John varvatous cologne was irresistible. He still look younger than when she had met him. His sleevless black versace vest revealed his perfectly carved arm which had undergone a lot of gymnasium exercise, his six packs can be seen without straining ones eyes, a fitted versace joggers to match. She suddenly felt the urge to run her hands through his wave haircut down to his full black beard. She was ogling him, he liked it and moved closer to her to hug her. She pulled out of his hug and ran to her standard sized bathroom, he could hear her sob even though the shower was running, his heart wrenched at her hurting cry.

Why was she being punished, that was the man she fell in love with and not the monster he had become. The thought of how they had met filled her memory, the happiest moment of her life that was about turning to the saddest.

CHAPTER 36

Luisa was taken to the hospital, not that she was sick but Soji insisted she had some rest and medical checkup at the hospital for her to get over whatsoever trauma her kidnap might have caused. He called Luisa's parents to give them the good news, his parents also got the news and they all insisted on coming to meet her over there. They couldn't wait for her to be brought home. Becca was also informed of her beloved friend's return. Soji knew he was indebted to Sophie because they would not have gotten a solution but for her. Sammy isn't a friend but a brother, best brother at that, What would Soji have done without him. Soji cared less about how Luisa looked what mattered most was that the love of his life was certainly back and her captors were behind bars. She was at the hospital all through just to be certain his love was recuperating.

Both family arrived earlier than expected, the sight of their daughter was disheartening, the scars made her look different but her beauty didn't diminish. The Daniels vowed to go any length to make sure their daughter-inlaw's captor rot in jail.


*****

"where can we find your friend Omolola" a policeman asked.

She was mute, she had been acting that way ever since her arrest, she refused to open up. an hot iron was unplugged and pressed to her lap, the sound of her scream could awake all the dead at a cemetery, it pierced through the ears of those who heard it. She was crying but wasn't begging for mercy.

"if you would not confess then be ready for more torture in here. Sergeant! Take her to cell 5"

Cell No 5 is a room where stubborn criminals were tortured, a small dark room that has no ray of light. Anybody that is taken to Cell 5 must be in a squatting position for how long s/he would spend in that room, failure to squat, such a person could be hit by sharp iron rods which are fixed to the ceiling to point downwards. Broken bottles are littered all around the room except a circular spot which was designed for the criminal.

The effectiveness of cell No. 5 could not be underestimated as it has yielded positive results over time. Funke had heard the women she shared the same cell with talk about how horrible the cell was. One could come out of that cell and never be able to stand on his/her feet for life depending on how many hours, days or weeks such person is to use there. The thought of this scared her to death but the order had been made, there was nothing she could do.

My apologies for the late update.

CONTINUATION

Funke, Ms. Peters and their guys were arrested, none of them was ready to confess. Soji informed the police that one of the perpetrators is missing and not among them yet. though Funke knew where they could find Lola but she refused saying a thing infact she was completely mute. She was suppose to be waiting for them at their new abode, she wasn't aware of the evil that had befell her gang members so she wouldn't think of escaping. She had become wanted and plagued that she wouldn't want to think of going back to town, people around her were already aware of the kind of person she was. Police felt because she was new at the cell she had not been torture enough for her to confess her sins and to tell them where they could find Lola.
She was kept in a different cell from that of Ms. Peters. The hefty women in the cell made life difficult for her from the first time she was locked in with them. She sat silently at a corner, she could overhear them talking about her.

"this small girl, I wonder what brought her here" a woman in her late forties said to the others with her eyes fixed at Funke's direction.

"she looks harmless" another woman added

"with her look, she will be a rude girl" a lady in her mid 30s said. "I was like her so I know what I'm talking about, I was rude, mean and heartless"

The women laughed and stared at the fragile looking lady who just cracked the dumbest joke as.
"yes, you were rude until I tortured the rudeness out of you" The don had been silent since Funke's arrival into the cell, she watched as the women were saying all sorts about the JJC who was looking at them with disgust. "I'm sure I'll do the same to that small girl who has left her manners on her reading table"

"hey you! Come and clean my nails" don ordered
That was the beginning of Funke's punishment in the cell.

"You used to be diligent, devoted, punctual and consistent in what you do which made us think we can't find another you but now the organization had gotten a better replacement and I'm sure this would give you enough time to face whatsoever is happening in your home. You know the way out and shut the door behind you" he sent his gaze back to the files on his table laptop.

She knew there was nothing she could do, her world was crumbling right in front of her. If only she had known she would have forced herself to the morning even thought she was on admission at the hospital. What if she had contacted the office that day perhaps they would have tempered justice with mercy.

"you are still there?" director's voice jolted her off her thoughts. She knew no amount of plea can undo what had been done. She met the secretary on her way but the director's office, she hissed and with a devilish laughter. Amanda did not even care to respond to the insults since she was aware that her last day at that organization.


*****

"you mean you are now jobless" Gladys felt sad at her friend's predicament. "what did they say your offence was"

"Gladys I have no idea" she said amidst tears, where would she start from. Gladys consoled her with several words of consolation.

"its not like you don't have another source of income" Gladys blurted out of frustration after she had unsuccessfully consoled her crying friend
"Amy I don't like this, cheer up and let's look for a way forward"

"where will I start from" she started wailing afresh.


"be like me" Gladys shot back at her

she wiped her face with both hands "be like you?"

"yes"

"how?"

"instead of being a part time businesswoman, venture into it big time, I'm my own boss girlfriend"

CHAPTER 3


"Good morning Mrs. Williams" one of her colleagues greeted her as she came out of her car.

She gave a reply and headed to her office, her table was dusty, it was a Monday morning the janitor had not been there yet she thought. She dialed the janitors' office to inform them of her office that has not been cleaned yet. She heard a knock on the door, it was the secretary to the director, she wondered what brought her to her office personal when she could have just made use of the telecom, perhaps it was urgent.

"Good morning Amanda" she rudely greeted

"Good morning" she replied with a charming smile that showed she didn't give a hoot about her manners. "what brings you here when you could have just beeped me"

"Director wants you in his office right away" she frowned and made for the exit.

She dialed the Janitors' office again to inform them she wants her office cleaned before she comes back from the director's office.


*****

"Good morning sir, you requested to see me"
His gaze and concentration was on the laptop he had before him. "Good morning Mrs Williams" he greeted without looking up from what he was doing. He handed her a white envelope
Only her name was written on the letter which made it difficult for her to know what the letter was about.

"is this a promotion letter sir?" her face was bright
"Amanda, the letter is in your possession so check it and stop asking me silly questions" the director she knew was not a snub infact he was a father figure to everybody in that company. She tore the envelope and enthusiastically opened to see the content, her eyes became wet with tears.

"Termination of appointment?"

"as you can see"

"sir what is my offence, I've been working here all my life and with all my might. What did I do to deserve this?"

"this is not just my decision" he said looking away from his computer. "the management made this decision, they said they want you out of this organization. For the past two years you have been inconsistently doing what you were employed for, your punctuality has been punctured. I've summoned you many times but the excuse is that you have crisis in your home, I overlooked your shortcomings thinking you would change for the better but no, its becoming worse daily. Your appointment would have been terminated months ago if we had gotten a better substitute. The accounting department is in jeopardy because of your family issue, as the head of Accounting department you should oversee everything but reverse Is the case"

She couldn't held herself from crying bitterly.

CHAPTER 35


Funke and her guys refused to alight from the car, she decided to shot herself dead instead of being arrested. The officers came closer to where the car had halted, commotion was at the roundabout as vehicles couldn't move freely. There were initially 3 officers at the scene but after some minutes officers in uniform arrived in order to help arrest the perpetrators. The car was locked and the glasses were rolled up, she ordered that the car should remain locked, the glasses were tinted which made it difficult for them to catch a glimpse of how many of them were in there. Ms Peters was cuffed in the hand and tied in the leg with her mouth covered with a big fabric, there was nothing she could do aside watching the evil that was about to befall her.


******

Sammy drove Soji's car to go after Sophie, they were far gone before he thought of going after them but with the help of his cell phone he was able to caught up and lodged them at a nearest hotel where they could discuss and of course let the young man spend the night. The sight that greeted him was excruciating, he felt pity for his Friend's Fiancée, Luisa had become the shadow of her real self, the tank-top she had on revealed the scars which had flawed her honey-like skin, he was certain the scar on her cheek was from something hot probably an iron. Though he had missed his own girlfriend, Luisa was the one he hasn't seen in a long while so he only greeted her.
Sophie greeted and introduced Joe to her boyfriend as the guy who made their plans a dream come true and that she doesn't want him to be prosecuted alongside the others. It was a difficult thing for Sammy to decide but he enjoined him to pray that Funke should not point an accusing at him for what they've been through together.
Luisa remained silent all through she had being through a lot of trauma and needed time to recover. Only Soji could decide whether taking her to the hospital was the best of taking her home to her parents. He had to wait for his Friend for order.
