“What’s it?” Sergeant Clinton asked.Detective Sam was still twirling his eyes around while Clinton was yearning for a response.“I saw a guy a few minutes ago looking at our direction, then checking again, I could not find him again. I think he was one of Herbert Halloway’s men studying from his appearance although the doesn’t look like one because he dressed responsibly but I think he is. He disguised.”“So what do you think is going on?” Sergeant Clinton asked.“It is fine. They don’t know who we are. And I am sure I catch him before he does anything.”They both walked back to the seat to meet the ladies. Detective Sam kept tweaking his head behind looking at the entrance into the pool. He would have gone to the car park but he thought he would have abscond. Shane parked his car outside and walked in while tracing Cynthia from when he left Yaba. He drove speedily back to Yaba. It was an hour trip due to the traffic that hit him on the road. He was kinda frustrated because he couldn
The solicitor was still left in disbelief. He adjusted the laptop very well and went through all the photos on the laptop. He kept jiggling his head. They went ahead to have every discussion. In the midst of their discussion, Shane drove into the hotel. He had planned to come and lounge there so he could get to know more about the two guys he saw when he traced Cynthia to the hotel. A few minutes after entering, he was still seated in his car looking at them from distance. Detective Sam and Sergeant Clinton were so immersed in their conversation with Solicitor Olumide that they didn’t notice the entrance of any car.They spent almost an hour talking before Solicitor Olumide was escorted to his car. He would be resuming work with them fully the subsequent time he would be visiting. What he came for was the briefing as he was told my the police commissioner. Shane was seated in the looking at them as they accompanied Solicitor Olumide to the car. He tried to capture them from the distan
“Oh, little wonder. I was thinking that I have seen them before but I wasn’t certain since the photo wasn’t clear. They’ve came to the Castle to arrest Herbert Halloway before. Fuck. So you saw the ladies with them at the hotel yesterday,” Jamy said.Shane was lost for word as he kept glancing at the picture on.“So they are policemen?” Shane asked rhetorically. “I think we are lucky this came out early, you’ve got to meet Herbert Halloway and every operation with them have to be stopped.”“Yes. But how are we gonna do that. You know how stubborn Herbert Halloway is. I hope I can be able to convince him.”“You will. Thinking of the relationship between you both. Where is my phone?” Jamy.“What do you want to do?”“I want to phone Timothy. We have to make enquiry about Herbert Hallway’s movement.”“Alright.”Shane sat down with diverse thought trotting through her psyche. If not for Jamy he wouldn’t have been that convinced when Herbert Halloway informed him of the relationship he wa
When it was dark Detective Sam drove Sergeant Clinton and Solitor Olumide into the main establishment in Yaba. It was a moment Shane would have gotten the best confirmation from but he had been downed by the news of Herbert Halloway being out country and every transaction had been successfully going on without knowing that he was being set up.Cynthia and the ladies had been at the guest room having fun all days and dancing to the music of their choice that they didn’t know when Detective Sam and her two colleagues entered. They traced down the loud music to the guest room and they were kinda disappointed in the mood they saw them, they seemed carried away.Detective Sam had to put off the music before they learnt of his presence.“What’s all this?” Detective Sam said.Sergeant Clinton went to put on the light because everywhere was dark leaving the coloured light only on.“So sorry, sir,” they chorused and began to comport themselves and their dresses.Detective Sam went to the seat
Shane was seated in the room when Jamy was outside the room having a discussion with his recruited men. Shane had been relegated to diverse thought yearning for the return of Herbert Halloway. He laid on the bed when Jamy entered when he finished talking to his men. They seemed not to be having much of training to do recently and would soon swoop into action to protect Herbert Halloway once everything was set.“Have you phone Timothy today?”“No. I haven’t. Let me try it.”Timothy ought not to stay back in Nigeria while Herbert Hallway went to the United States if not for the absence of Shane who would have swapped with him. Due to the inexperience of his guards concerning the running of the firm, Timothy was the best in place who could guarantee the maximum he wanted.“Hey, Timo. Good morning. How was the night?” Jamy asked.“It went well, friend. How about yours?”“It went well. Is there any information concerning Herbert Halloway’s return?”“Nothing yet. Please, where are you so we
The guy noticed some glitches in the list and he kept his eyes on it. Detective Sam thought he had seen what he was looking for. The guy invited one of the ladies.“Please, can I have the list of the available rooms.”The lady brought out all the room tags and they were noting it. They noticed that someone left without signing out.“Who is this that left without signing out?” The guy.“Oh. Yesterday morning, a man who seemed to be fair in his singlets ran to the car park with trousers held on his hands and some stuff. I don’t know what was wrong?”The guy looked at Detective Sam who was already calculating in his psyche.“You mean he ran out? When was that? Morning, afternoon or night?”“It was in the morning.”“Which name did he put down?” Detective Sam asked.The guy adjuster the book opposite him on the stand and pointed at the name with his pen. Detective Sam noted the name with his eyes nodding. He thanked the receptionists and walked out to meet her colleagues he left beside the
Sophia early in the morning hadn’t gotten a response from Cynthia concerning her resumption. The first day of her day off was spent lonely at the beach to pass time. It had been a while she had such time off from work. She had planned to spent the subsequent days with her old mother.“Good Morning, Cynthia. How was the night?” Sophia asked.“Huh! Sophia, it was great. How about yours?”“It went well. How about our resumption? Any news?”“No news yet. According to me chat with Herbert Halloway, no transactions will be taking place in the next three days because he was still trying to distribute the ones we’ve crossed.”Sophia punched her hands in the air. Her old mother had been on her neck for a long period of time lamenting of being abandoned despite the huge sum Sophia did send at the end of every month. Her monthly allowance since she began working with Detective Sam had skyrocketed which she never left her mother out.After the conversation with Cynthia on the phone, he began to a
“Who is that?” Sophia asked.Sophia withdraw when she heard the statement. She tweaked her head behind and gazed at what she meant. Madam Akwete lifted her hand a bit to signify what she meant.“That’s Herbert Halloway. The man I just told you that I and my colleagues were investigating. We’ve began now it has been quite a while and we are almost done.”Sophia said and began ambling back to the parlour. She was seriously famished and couldn’t wait to have the food in her belly. It had been a while she ate traditionally made food and the way she was walking could tell a lot about her longings for the food.“Come back here,” Madam Akwete said.“What’s it mum. That’s why I don’t want to come here in the first place. You ask questions a lot. I am hungry,” she lamented lingering at the step connecting the dining room and the parlour. Madam Akwete’s eyes was still glued on the photo as she was talking to her.Madam Akwete remained quiet and didn’t utter a word as she went to the parlour to
