BACK IN NIGERIA
In the afternoon at Lagos prison, nightmare had a visitor.
"Boss we are trying everything we can, we have searched everywhere it seems she just turned into a ghost." Nightmare's boy said
Nightmare was seated by the opposite chair where he had handcuffs on his hands "Adria's sister is way smart than she appears. I hope you guys are still following her she must have destroyed all trace of her sister."
"Boss she's at New York from our inspection Adria is not there, the airport agent said there was no passengers with that name, so we proceeded to the sea port but still yet no sign of her." The guy said sadly.
"Arhhhh." nightmare banged the table fuming with anger he roared "Find a way to get me out!."
"Boss the lawyer said he can't defend cause he doesn't know what happened, he is outside right now if you don't mind he wants to hear what happened from you." He said fearful.
"Fine bring him in." nightmare said feeling frustrated, how did Berlina out smart him this way.
The lawyer stepped in and stood opposite nightmare he couldn't really see who he was talking to "Good day sir I'm Yusuf and I'll be your lawyer for this case so please cooperate with me if you want to leave this place earlier than your supposed to."
Nightmare stared at the lawyer and clicked his tongue as he brought his face forward "Nice meeting you Yusuf."
"Ni..nightmare." Yusuf was shocked to see the ruthless man in jail.
Nightmare laughter echoed "we meet again huh such a small world ain't it." nightmare stopped smiling. "Sit!." He ordered.
"Ok please let's get started please tell me what happened thank you." he said as he shivered nightmare had hurt him in the past for winning a case over his friend in port harcourt.
"Well I wanted to hurt a lady by trying to dig up some dark secrets but I wasn't aware she was clean and I ended digging up another mans past and he put me in jail cause I was at a vulnerable state." he said as he leaned back on his seat.
Yusuf was shocked by the short explanation "Umm is that it." He asked.
"Mhmm." Nightmare said simply.
"That's too short you have to give a detailed explanation, for me to be able to find a lope hole which I could drag you out from with this explanation you just gave your guilt and straight to jail." Yusuf gently explained.
Nightmare stared at him for a while seeing the lawyers uneasiness he smirked "fine." He said as he began to tell the story from the beginning.
THE PAST
Nightmare was sitting in his private room, where Adria's pictures were placed on the wall, pictures from different days and they were taken secretly.
"Adria my love." he said with a husky voice as he approached the biggest picture of Adria and trailed his hands on her face " why are you being stubborn. Ryan is already out of the way so why are you still not here by my side why are you hiding away from me where in Nigeria are you, why can't I see you?." He lend over and bumped his head on the picture.
Immediately he heard a knock, he came out of the room with a stern look "what did I tell you about interrupting me when I enter this room." he said as he grabbed his assistant (Tee's) neck.
"Boss this is ...really ...important.....it's...about....Adria Adria." Tee struggled to breath.
He Immediately let go of the guys neck when he heard Adria's name "what did you say?." he asked.
"Berlina discovered Gloria was a rebel, she confronted and hurt her and now gloria is in the hospital." Tee explained while massaging his neck.
"So what does this have to do with Adria or ways to find her, last I checked we don't care about that pathetic woman, we still got more people there in disguise so what if they figured her out." he scoffed.
"The thing is we went to see her." Tee said.
"Why did you go to see her you know that could have been a trap right." Nightmare said feeling bored by the conversation.
"Yes sir I do but she told me that day we got that information that Adria was leaving the country she actually did and it was Berlina's doing." Tee said
"Shut your mouth, we saw Adria that day with Berlina they were headed to the national park." Nightmare said with his fist tightened.
"I'm sorry boss but she out smarted us that wasn't Adria but a lookalike." Tee steered at nightmare timorously.
"What! Adria is gone." Nightmare said as he sprawled.
This was a funny act coming from THE nightmare, but tee dare not laugh or it might be his last, he summoned courage and continued his explanation.
"Yes sir she also mentioned Berlina dealing on illegal drugs and she said that there was going to be a movement to night and Berlina is going to be there." Tee blurted out.
"Berlina!." he said with anger as he began to think but then a thought hit him "This is bizarre, why should we trust Gloria." Nightmare said.
"She had worked for us over the years and kept to our rules for us not to kill her child in return and she passed out after her words I don't think she would survive will anyone lie on there death bed." Tee said.
"Fine we are heading out at night and we are going to be very careful cause this isn't rivers state I don't hold much ground." He said
"Yes sir." Tee replied.
"I'll tarnish Berlina's image, when we uncover what ever she hides we will use it against her and tarnish her image and her nose which is held high like a witch will be brought down as a slave and she will beg at my feet to spare her life, when that happens we are going to hold her as bait to get my Adria back." Nightmare states in a diabolic manner.
Nightmare and his minions went to the place that night, he stopped at the entrance to the tunnel while his boys went in. He waited for a while but his boys weren't back yet he turned to leave and saw Berlina sitting on top of her car staring at him in a clownish manner.
She stepped down from her car "oh wow look who we have here the timid fly." she said as she stared down at him.
Nightmare charged at her but she told him that they were surrounded and he shouldn't act recklessly or he would be shot on the spot.
"You act all smart, but your not the police is on their way Berlina and Adria is gonna be heart broken when she figures out what you do what a shame." He said with disgust.
Berlina grinned at him and replied "You can't defeat a daredevil nightmare, I thought you would know better, how can Gloria a mere servant get access to such private information huh well let me take you on a trip to the past actually the summary, this has been my plan from the very start nightmare just that I didn't have any bait till I saw your cheap tactics a camera on a doll how dumb hopefully you enjoyed the view with Adria and Ryan displayed huh."
"You stupid bitch." He charged towards her.
she scoffed. "Don't you wanna know where Adria is come on be patient sweetie as I was saying until you interrupted rudely I made the maid talk and threatened her with something worst than her son her own life." she paused and smiled and proceeded "She was spared and became my bait she lured you here as I ordered and she carried it out so well, I also knew the owner of this tunnel hates you so I chose to bring you here." she smirked.
Realization stroke nightmare this was a trap and they fell for it "who's tunnel is this."
"Alexandra...he would be with you shortly have fun my friend this is your final warning stay away from my sister." She said as she walked towards her car.
Nightmare was shocked how did he fall for this Alexandra was his biggest enemy and they avoided each other but now this was his territory and this was Lagos he will kill this lady he charged towards her but saw her smiling he knew something was wrong he looked down swiftly and saw a trap guided by two bomb.
"You can only get in my dear but you can't go out." Berlina smirked as she entered her car and left.
"And yh I promised to tell you where my baby sister is she's somewhere safe." She said as she drove off.
THE PRESENT
"Is that helpful?." Nightmare asked.
"So you were fooled then the lawyer." said as he soothes his face.
"Shut up and think of a way to get me out of here." Nightmare said as he banged the table.
The lawyer was startled "A-actually there's a way to turn this situation around."
"Now that's why I hired you." Nightmare smirked.
