Dara cleaned her tears as she listened to her
lawyer, she had been arrested the day before
after the incompetent DPO she had connived
with was suddenly removed and a new DPO who
doesn't take nonsense was brought to replace
the previous one. and unknowingly for her, she
had thought the new DPO will accept her offer
but instead he arrested her, for offering bribe
and for murdering her mother. And to add insult
to the injury, her mother's Will was read and the
dead bitch had willed everything to the
orphanage. and now her lawyer was saying
something like she can't represent her in court.
"look Dara I won't lie to you, this your case is
really beyond me, I don't think I can represent
you in court you need to get another lawyer
please " the fair lady adjusted her glasses as she
pressed her glossy lips together, the charges
pressed against her were much and authentic
and representing her in court is not advisable for
her growing status in the judiciary, as she always
win cases not loose. But she felt Dara's case
was a straight failure as all the charges leveled
against her were all correct. She stood up and
adjusted her skirt to leave. The policeman
standing close to them, helped Dara up.
"you are incompetent! " Dara spoke up with red
puffy eyes, how could she end up like this, stalk
in a mess she didn't do, she didn't kill her mother
" excuse me,.... You can call me any name you
like but all I care about is my success in court
dear, don't worry I will recommend another
lawyer for you, good day!" Dara wiped her tears
again with cuffed hands while the police man led
her back to the cell.

"it was a vintage 1772 wine, a red one to be
precise, search harder" Ade dragged his breath
ever since he was released from the police
station, got sick like he couldn't understand
himself, he threw up countless times and even
caught cold at times. He rarely slept, and he
always stared into space and got lost he only
came around whenever his girlfriend, Romoke
came visiting him in his parents house. he was
almost killed that night in the cell, they had given
them dinner and he had given his share to one of
the guyz in the cell, it was later that officer John
came by to tell him not to eat his meal, and he
had told him that if he had eaten the meal he
should let him know. And they had woken up that
morning only to find the guy he gave his meal to,
was dead.
"sir I think have found it, " Patrick voice brought
back his memory to the present. His dad had
placed the phone on a loud speaker, Patrick his
private investigator had gone to Mrs Sarah's
house in other to collect the wine for testing,
since Mrs Sarah died of poison.
" good, take it to the lab for testing,... "
" okay sir,... But I still want to search her room
for the video and her phone" Patrick breathed
into the phone like he was scared of Mrs Sarah'
s ghost appearing to him.
"ehmm, okay do that quickly and leave" he hung
up, Mr Emmanuel sat beside his son and kept on
saying.
"don't worry son, you will be okay, " Ade smiled
at his father
*******************************************************
" Romoke! Oh my God! Please wait! " Romoke
couldn't believe her eyes, Bola was hurrying up
to meet her, how could she have seen her in this
large mall. She looked around the mall, people
were probably busy minding their business. she
had decided to get some things for Ade and
Sikemi had driven her in her small car. Her eyes
got glued on Bola 's thin frame, Her complexion
had started fading like the colour of dried
harmattan grass, the flowery dress she wore
sagged and thereby revealing her protruding
belly. Romoke suddenly remembered the threat
she had received some weeks back, she shifted
away from her and started picking somethings
from the shelf and throwing them in her shopping
basket.
"of course Romoke I don't expect you to see me
and be happy. Am really sorry for the way I
treated you. Look my sins have really caught up
with me I wished I listened to you, and not
allowed jealousy cloud my emotions. I got
married to Emma after you left and I got
pregnant shortly afterwards he would bring his
girlfriends home and will force me to serve them,
he would beat me even in my condition. So I
decided to look for you and apologize " she
sniffed her nose and blinked her eyes so as not
to prevent tears from falling.
" Bola why will you threaten me on phone, what
have I done to you"? Bola lifted her face as her
highly pimples face creased into a frown.
"me? What are you talking about? I never did
what you are thing Romoke, have been engulfed
with my own problems not to think of yours"
Romoke shrugged, though confused if it's not
Bola then who doesn't want her progress.
"alryt I have to go now, see you around Bola ".
She smiled at Bola and left before she stops her.
Romoke got into the car and heaved a sigh, she
turned to her friend, unable to hide her fears she
blurted out.
" it wasn't Bola who threatened me on the phone
the other day" Sikemi frowned, her heart raced.
"it was who? "
" I don't know and I think I need to let Ade know"
Sikemi relaxed, she felt irritated all of a sudden,
why must she always find a way to chip Ade in
every discussion they made, she almost told her
to shut up but was almost grateful when her
phone rang until she heard her say "helo Ade...."
only then did she return to her previous mood
and drove off.
*******************************************************
Martha moaned,as the skinny guy on top of her
kept on increasing his thurst, he turned her
backwards with her slim buttocks facing him as
he increased his thurst again, he collapsed on
her after some minutes, then climbed down the
slim mattress and wore his trouser. Martha stood
up and wrapped herself with her faded wrapper
and checked on her baby who was sleeping
soundly in her cradle. She wasn't proud of what
she does but she couldn't bring herself to stop
either. The skinny guy gave her some few wads
of naira notes and then something wrapped in
black nylon, she smiled.
"na two shots dey inside, use am wisely" the
skinny guy rubbed his nose like a drug addict.
"ehrm babe, be careful with your child, don't
always leave her with people and don't trust
anyone " Martha noded, she doesn't trust anyone
except her roommate and friend Ezinne. She
closed the door after he left and went to check
the black nylon he had given her, she brought out
the AK-47 and smiled it is time for revenge.
