Chapter 65

"So this is how silly you can be? After everything I've been doing for you, Samuel, you still want to taint my career? "

....Senator Yakubu exclaimed on seeing Sam, Ali, and Kareem in his sitting room

The fury on his face was too obvious as he walked closer to his guests. Sam couldn't flinch was rather bolder than Senator Yakubu expected.

"Sam, you've grown nerves that you now do what you want while still at my service? Who's this man standing by you? I can remember I only invited you and no one else."

Senator Yakubu said

Sam said "He's..."

"He's just a friend sir though they were together when I met him"

Ali couldn't allow Sam to blub for long before he answered Senator Yakubu.

"Ali so this is how at danger I am? you already joined him to play some cards on me?" Yakubu whispered

"Sir, I'm sorry if you see it as a game, but no one is playing any game on you. We're only here to treat the issue we have at hand" Ali replied to him

"I see!! The man you're telling that he's just a friend is a son to a friend of mine who I know bid profession more than you do. Kabir, aren't you Engineer Musa's stepson?

"Yes sir, I am his son but my name is Kareem instead."

Everyone in the room was shocked. No one imagined that Senator knew Kareem to that extent. Then they had to narrate to him how Kareem got involved in the case. They all sat then Sam narrated how the game got sour, the damage they've caused, and their possible solutions to the issues. Because Yakubu already know Kareem and what he would possibly do, he buried his anger and didn't act funny. They already knew things were out of their hands and all of them knew they were already at risk. If the case escalates, Yakubu won't just lose his political position but would face the law which might sentence him to some years imprisonment.

Since Yakubu already knows the weight of the crime he committed he found Kareem not worthy enough to stand for him in the law court. After listening to both of them, he scheduled another meeting with them the following morning and made it plain to them that they would meet with his Lawyer that has been handling his cases since he ventured into politics. Since he is the head of all, no one could object to his command. He stands a chance of escaping the charges while his subordinates might not be lucky as he would be.

They peacefully left his house. Kareem and Sam drove back to Kareem's office. There, Kareem suggested that Sam take his family to a hotel where they would lodge for a while since they're the target both of the police and his master Senator Yakubu. Sam had no choice but to follow any decision that would save his family from more issues.

They drove to the nearby hotel and suites and booked the place where the family could stay as Kareem suggested. Then went to Sam's house to get his frustrated spouse.

A man always knows the woman he's married to and what she's likely to do at some point. On reaching the fence of their building, Sam's mind swung. He recalled that the wife must ask whether he's got their daughter. And then she might create a scene if not diplomatically followed. As he Parked the car, he couldn't just alight. Instead, he kept mute in the car. Kareem asked him the reason behind his sudden change of mood. He then narrated his fears to him. Kareem felt pity for him and promised to help and talk to his wife.

Just as Sam expected, his wife was laid on bare ground. Looking at her one could easily conclude that she's been crying for a while. He couldn't behold the tears of his wife. He also began to cry. The scene was so emotional that Kareem almost joined the. He focused on Mrs. Edna's face which was already pale. He watched Sam as he hugged his wife with passion and started muttering words into her ears. Kareem was left speechless for some while. He walked to a couch where he relaxed his hands. He couldn't take his eyes off the couple as they created an emotional episode.

Instead of the wife creating the scene as the husband presumed, she turned speechless as she cried profusely.
