Chapter 55

Mr. Ali could be seen looking troubled in his office. He started searching everywhere for what no one knows. He hissed and shook his head. Then got up from his office chair and was walking from one end of the room to the other using the small pen in his hand to scratch his head. He walked in a hurry and hit his hands on his table scattering some files that were well arranged on the table. He staggered to the chair closer to him breathing heavily. He pulled off his jacket and removed his tie. He rushed to the water dispenser by the corner of the door and served himself a glass of water. He then gently sat down on the office chair. Then dialed some numbers on his cell phone

...Salam Alaikum Alhaji!!!!

Ali! Hope you called to give me good news. Senator Yakubu's voice was heard from the other end.

Not yet Alhaji. All Mr. Sam's phone numbers have been switched off since yesterday.

I told you to track him. Everything is possible and you know he has all the key information about me.

Sir, I already tracked him and the information is that he's now in France. He fled the country as the problem with Mr. Louis' family took another dimension.

It's better if dies in France than coming back to Nigeria. What of Kabir?

They're still in police custody and as they seize to question anyone till now, I'm afraid they're filling the case that may get us hooked.

That's another problem, what have you done to get them out? .... Senator Yakubu asked

You know this is not something one can follow like that. They followed the wrong course. They arrested the boy that rescued Louis' daughter. To make the story worst, friends of the guy reported to the police that their friend was Kidnapped. The police arrested them in the process of rescuing the kidnapped boy. We have many cases now. They're addressed as kidnappers and No one knows what Justice Zick will be up to. In short, Sam has been declared wanted.

Wait, Mr. Ali!!! Sen Yakubu shouted

... So all these have been happening and you kept quiet? Can't you see you're having a delusion of grandeur?

Mr. Ali, this is a huge problem and needs to be tackled with adequate attention. Now, I'm only using strangers as bodyguards. And you know how risky that could be. Meet me at my hotel in the next 10 minutes. We need to iron some things out.

Yes sir!! Mr. Ali replied and ended the call.

Justice Zick and officer Jimmy were all seated in Zick's office. Mr. Jimmy could be seen tapping his right foot on the floor continuously. Justice Zick also kept his both hands on the table gently nodding his head.

... But Jimmy, since he's already in France and we have his daughter, don't you think He would come back for his daughter?? Zick asked Jimmy

We're having many problems at a time. Yes we have his daughter, he might come for his daughter but Sandra is not safe because as we speak, Sam is under her roof... Jimmy said

I thought you said Sam is a brother to Sandra's husband?.... Zick asked out of curiosity

Yeah!!! But I don't trust that man, Sam. He may use Sandra to threaten Jessy and Sandra is pregnant now

That one doesn't suppose to bother you. Let the husband secure his wife. Or shall we find a way to get Sandra back to Nigeria before we summon the required people to court... Zick asked

Exactly!!!! That's what I think should be the best. If Sandra can escape him and come back to Nigeria, he would be losing on both sides

I believe Sandra's husband will protect his wife. Let's focus on Dealing with the other people that are in our custody and also the remaining accomplices..... Zick suggested

I think you're right. I'll talk to Ken, he has to protect his wife and his unborn child. Jimmy concluded

Now, I guess is the best time to revisit Senator Yakubu's case. We'll start by questioning the man arrested at the scene where you rescued the kidnapped boy. If we torture them, they'll confess and I believe Senator Yakubu must aware of what they did and would know the consequences. We'll try our possible best to link both Yakubu and Sam to this case. By so doing, many things will be uncovered. Let's get things started.....

Zick said

Interesting... That sounds nice.

Jimmy replied. Cleared his throat and continued

But...
