“Yes, she is. Although it was a long story but that’s for another day. Tell Timothy to withdraw his men and the cabinet should report to Yaba. We’ve got a new strategy. What we needed to do now is to distract them so Herbert Halloway, Sophia and his wife can make it out of the country,” Shane said.Jamy was kinda confused by the whole idea and some part of the statement. He had no choice than to succumb since he was the one spying. Jamy picked his phone immediately and gave the information to Timothy so everything would be rounded up before dawn.At dawn Detective Sam and Solicitor Olumide were at the police station waiting for Sergeant Clinton who went to Sophia’s home at the Maryland. She was the only one who hadn’t picked their call. Detective Sam aim was to protect her having got the information that they couldn’t find Herbert Halloway in the hotel where he was lounging in the United States.Detective Sam had the feeling that he had been aware of everything which was the reason he
Detective Sam had returned to the strategic room when Sergeant Clinton and Supernumerary Cynthia returned from Surulere. When they entered without seeing Sophia around them, he knew that an heartbreaking news was about to be broken.“Where is she?” He asked.“We couldn’t find her. The most surprising fact is that we saw her mother’s home opened and no one was inside,” Sergeant Clinton said.Detective Sam went on his toe, “wait. You mean you reached there but saw the doors opened and no one was there?”“Yes. No one,” CynthIa answered.Detective Sam exhaled and walked to the wall looking at it in a serious thought.“Is the commissioner aware?” Sergeant Clinton asked.Solicitor Olumide gave a response shaking his head. Amidst the silence and intense thought, Detective Sam’s phone rang, the name on the screen wrote “Sophia,” it was Solicitor Olumide who was beside the phone that first caught sight of the name of the screen.“Is this not Sophia?” Solicitor Olumide picked the phone and gave
Jamy, Shane and Timothy were in their apartment after dissolving the cabinet to go their respective way but promised to get back to them once everything gone back to normal. At the moment it was tensed that Timothy was scared of being traced to the residence which would eventually marked their end. He wasn’t comfortable with the fact that Shane and Jamy had been faking the kidnapping of Supernumerary Sophia which would certainly intensify the police search.“Shane. I think you should commence preparations on finding a space closer to the castle where you will be spying on the Castle. We have to ensure that Herbert Halloway fled completely maybe after that, we can also fled.”Shane didn’t welcome the idea because he was already known by the two major policemen and he wouldn’t be risking engaging in kinda stuff anymore.“I can’t do that. That’s dangerous to myself. What will you now be doing?” Shane asked.“We have to divert their attention until Herbert Halloway reached his destination
The police commissioner recently invited them all to his office after the information she got from the immigration office that Herbert Halloway had entered the country. He was in his office when they touched down at the early hour of the morning. The police commissioner had been having a tough time trying to find a solution to the disappearance of Herbert Halloway.“They are here,” one of the police officers told the commissioner.He went on his toe immediately and went to meet them in the room where he ordered his men to house them when they arrived. The reception wasn’t as cool as before when the mission was going well, it was a tense one that even water, they weren’t offered.“Herbert Halloway is currently in Nigeria according to the information from the immigration office. We have to intensify the search. So what do you have to say?”There was a silence. While the police commissioner was looking at them yearning for a response he noticed that the Supernumerary police weren't compl
The afternoon of the subsequent day was one that Timothy had been longing for. He wasn’t an indoor person and hadn’t been enjoying the solitude he was relegated to at the Yaba side. Due to the change in their strategy, Jamy had thought of relocating to Mushin however, he had the reminiscent that it would be a soft target by the time a full scale search would be launched.“I am done. I am waiting for you guys,” Jamy said with his eyes glued to his phone.Timothy was in the toilet while Shane was still dressing. Shane was a very detail guy when it came to dressing. He did spend his whole day dressing and he was always specific. He was mostly referred to as a stylist by Herbert Halloway and wouldn’t do without contacting him if he had any event to attend. He was still dressing even after Timothy was done in the toilet. They were outside and he joined them.“Have you taken your travel bag?” Shane asked Timothy because he didn’t see anything on his hand as he walked out.“Oh My God,” he ra
Shane was awed by the rapidity of the event. He never knew that it would be that fast. His heart was still beating fast he sat down at the back while Timothy was driving the car and Jamy was seated beside him. Jamy kept his eyes on the side mirror as Timothy drove out of the premises rapidly. Jamy heart too wasn’t at rest until they they reached the main road of Isolo and heading to Mushin from there, they would get the path to Yaba.“Are you sure he was dead before you leave there?” Jamy asked.“Guy. This isn’t my first time. I ensure he stopped breathing before I removed my hand from his neck.”There wasn’t any statement until they arrive at the rented apartment in Mushin. Although they weren’t comfortable in the apartment, it was a tiny room which was lease to Timothy for the maintain he would be spending in Mushin executing his responsibility.It was late already and they walked to the street to get what they wanted to eat. They also walked around the police station taking a look
Sophia had almost spent the whole day at the office where she was sent to have some of the papers sent. Amidst the papers was laissez-passer which would serve as their pass paper at the border into the Republic of Benin. She had stayed at the office to have everything cleared but she was still being delayed by some distorted information as a result of incomplete papers.“Please, just do it for me,” Sophia pleaded.“There is nothing I can do lady. There have to be evidences of some of the information fill in here. That’s all what we are asking for,” the man said.Sophia turned and stared at the entrance in frustration. He walked out with a gloomy and wholly saddened. Bikes were outside calling on passengers. Numbers of them approached her trying to persuade her to climb theirs. She wasn’t looking at their faces after spending some minutes there outside, he took a bike back home. It was a frustrated day. She didn’t know anyone that she could call on to help her.When she returned home,
The autopsy result just came out and it was sent to Detective Sam through the gmail. They were on their way to the police commissioner’s office in Ikeja part of Lagos when the gmail info entered. Jessica was the one driving the car he was in when a call entered that the info had been sent to his gmail. Forthwith the conversation came to an end, the alacrity to check his message overwhelmed his psyche.“Wow! DPO Ben was strangled to death,” Detective Sam said with his eyes glued on his phone. Alice and Jessica were in the car with him, they sat the front role and when they heard him made the statement they tweaked their head behind.“He was strangled?” Jessica echoed switching her eyes to the front mirror.“Who could be behind that?” Alice asked rhetorically.Detective Sam exhaled heavily with the load of work ahead of them and that happening again. When they reached the commissioner’s office, they parked and Sergeant Clinton came down from the other car with Cynthia and Agnes. Detecti
