Chapter 13

It was very early in the morning when I woke up only to see Jimmy in our hotel room. The seriousness written all over Jimmy's face and that of Sandra was enough reason to make someone conclude that all wasn't well.

Aunty good morning ma, Uncle Jimmy, good morning sir... I greeted them and then went to the bathroom not minding whether anyone responded or not. It seemed they didn't have my time. I washed my face, brushed, and joined them in the room shortly

Uncle did you sleep here or you just came this morning? Hope all is well

I said that to draw attention to myself as no one had my time.

Yeah, Jessy. All is well but we have some issues to handle before it escalates to something else.

Sir, what could that be? Is it still Sam and his wickedness???? I asked with fury.

Jessy, you need to be smart and not just get angry unnecessarily. The deed has already been done. What we want now is the solution to prevent further harm

... Sandra chipped in as she realized I was losing it already.

Jessy, Sandra is invited to the station for questioning since the camera captured you and her after the operation. Sam is now twisting the case that Sandra must know what happened. So, she needs to say all she knows and cancel her name from the list of suspects.

Hmm, does that mean we're going together?

Not at all, I'll take you to another hotel where you'll just be comfortable.

What is all this Uncle Jimmy? Now I have to save Sandra. She can't say anything about what happened inside the house as she wasn't there. I need to be by her so that she won't be harmed by that son of perdition.

Everything is under control. No one will harm her, I'll be there with her.

Please secure my mother for me if you insist I won't go with you. I have no other person. She's all I have, for now, my father and my mother.

Nothing will happen to her, I won't allow anyone to harm her... Jimmy was still talking to me when I looked at Sandra to find out that she was already shading tears.

Uncle, I want to follow her to the station.

And I disagree. What happened to your parents mustn't come near you while I'm still alive

It's okay... I said and held Sandra's hand.

So, you all will get prepared. She supposes to report to the office at 9 am at the dot. If she refuses to come, that's another problem. And you Jessy, we're leaving this hotel now.

Ok, Jessy goes and showers so I'll also shower then we get our ass out of this place.

It's well.

I did exactly as I was told. Both of us left the hotel and went to a farther one from the main city. We just settled in then Jimmy and Sandra left me in the Hotel. I had no one to talk to. Only to eat watch the television and sleep.

In the police station, while surrounded by Jimmy, Sam, and two other policewomen, Sam played the video in a widescreen showing where Sandra grabbed Jessy after the attack on their house

... Miss Sandra, that's you and according to the report we got, that's just a few seconds after the attack. What can you say about that?

Thank you, Mr. Louis is my neighbor. Sorry, he was my neighbor. I heard some gunshots from their apartment and needed to help as a neighbor. I rushed to the house only to see that a serious attack was ongoing. I saw three armed and also masked men attacking them. I can't carry ammunition and I can't be attacked back with a barehand. Needed to hide in other not to be killed as well. I was still there when the men left the house without noticing my presence. I saw one of them had a briefcase. But why is it that the camera could only show me hiding in the flower but couldn't record when the men went in and when they were coming out of that same house with the briefcase they stole?

You've done your part, but I still have more questions for you. Sam asked

Without answering my own? Or do you now edit videos gotten from the investigation before presenting them to the concerned person? I continued

That's not your business.

Then which one is my business? Everyone needs to see the briefcase they took with them while going and also see their stature. Sandra was determined to question Sam.

Another woman officer joined Sandra to request for unedited video. Sam noticed that he was about to be exposed and called off the questioning section.

It didn't go well for Sam.

That was wonderful, but you're not safe... Jimmy told Sandra when they left the room where Sandra was been questioned.

How? Sandra quietly asked

I know Jimmy more than you. We need to leave this police station now to avoid any issues. And I'll drive by myself

Why are you scaring me, Jimmy? I didn't do anything wrong

Didn't you notice that the other policewoman was interested in having the full unedited video and it may affect Sam? Some now know that you know what d. And may stand against him in a law court. He'll do everything possible to appear as Saint to others.
