Not charged for attempting.

"When did the two girls negotiate?" Mrs Yumaa asked her husband.

She stood next to him, just by the door blocking his way out.

"And there is something you are yet to tell me." Mrs Yumaa demanded. She knew Hao Ge won't do anything like attacking a fellow for no reason, and also, why would the Inspector claim that he was the cause of all that?

There was no evidence to it yet, but she had to get the answer.

"Don't you believe my words.? "Mr Yumaa asked as he now raged and slammed his fist on the wall. "You won't listen to me!" He concluded as he made his way away.

"It's nothing like that. I just want to know from you, I want you to tell me." Mrs Yumaa begged as she followed behind.

Lately, she had realised her husband took less time with her. His attention decreased with each passing month.

"Fine, I won't bother you anymore." Mrs Yumaa finally gave up and headed back to the room. She was tired of following up. What bothered her now was the results from the forensics and Bryan's future.

She had to tell him what he knew not. She knew he had not signed the papers, he must have doubted or lost esteem.

"Old missus. I will take care of everything." Mrs Yumaa promised the soul of her left boss as she now called Bryan to come d0wnstair.

****

Back in the Capital.

Xie Yu had long arrived and booked a room for the day. She was in no hurry to Isiolo or the highlands. She had her issues to solve.

In the medium-sized room she had booked, she sat on the bed as three men, all in black sat on the chairs in the room. They were her assassins. She had left them behind, months ago after Bai Songyi's death.

Now she was here to listen to their report personally.

"You have to make sure that none of them agrees with the other." She threw a roll of notes to the said leader as she finished giving her command.

"It was a good job. I will pay you guys more money if you can get Bryan X sooner too." Xie Yu referred to the X by sliding her finger across her neck.

Yes, she had ordered the death of Miss Old Gindi. She was tired of being tossed around, do this do that, it was her time to be the boss.

Xie Yu knew the only person who could manage The Gindi after this was her. She was the trusted 2nd next of kin, one who would inherit the title and everything, if no Gindi was alive.

It was easy as that, but not even the police could realize this. After she visited the Ge manor, she successfully got the prince in the box. It had been so easy.

She smiled as she remembered her evil deeds, they were so stupid.

"Get a Uber for me, I'm leaving for the highlands this evening." Xie Yu suddenly ordered as the three assassins obeyed her command

"Let's see if he survives." She exhaled as she waited for the Uber.

*****

Inspector Joe Ken read the file keenly.

He was down at the highland post, in a simple office made for him. The reports were clear, the time of William's Ge corresponded to the time Mrs Yumaa was trying to flee.

He knew Mrs. Yumaa had not done the killing, the girls won't take a life, and neither so would the lawyer. He tapped his desk slowly as the last person came to mind, Bryan.

The weapon used was said to be a sharp knife or anything like that, Bryan once frightened Thomas Maingi with such kind of a weapon.

"Bryan." Inspector Joe Ken repeated his name in his head. He had to get back to the mansion, the law had its way also.

'I wonder what Hao Ge would do to Bryan.' Inspector Joe Ken worried as he knew Hao Ge must have gotten the report by now.

'Why would Bryan commit such a crime?!

Inspector Joe Ken who had long been fighting for Bryan wondered. He had to protect him, but he feared now Bryan was out of help's reach.

If someone else takes care of this case, Bryan will be in for the worst. Inspector Joe Ken knew as the only better place he thought of apart from jail was a mental hospital.

So bad.

He picked up his keys as he hurriedly left avoiding the others. Berick had not sent words for a while, he never accompanied Maeia back from the US either, he must have found some leads, Joe Ken hoped.

He was already driving his way out of the station when he received the call from Jane.

"What's the issue." He inquired.

"Bryan must have done it! He is guilty." Jane aired her suspicion.

"I heading there, please remain low, we can't charge him by words." Inspector Joe ken sighed as he hung up on the call. He had to help Bryan.

******

Some miles away.

A now-known thug who worked on hire walked out of a casino. He had this Marvin on and a heavy dark shade of goggles.

"Yes ma'am?" He spoke through the phone as he threw away the Red Bull can he did been enjoying.

"A ten thousand dollars will be enough." He continued speaking as he closed the deal with the other end.

He knew he had laid low for a long time, it was time he surface again.

"I will be there in an hour." He spoke calmly as he walked into the town, calling in a taxi before giving directions.

This time, whoever was doing all this to the Gindi had gotten tired of the wait. It was time things were packed.

******

"Bryan!" Mrs Yumaa called out for him.

Up in his room, Bryan was just trying to lose the thought, that he had after he killed Prince Ge.

"Remain up here. "He ordered his two girls now. He had decided to take them both.

" What is the issue?" He asked Mrs Yumaa as he walked down the stairs to her.

"I know you not having a good time." Mrs Yumaa guessed. "I just want you to be honest with the police who will be here." Mrs Yumaa knew that was the only way he might free himself of the charges.

"I will also let a physician check you." Mrs Yumaa added as Bryan nodded. He had no words to say. It was a really bad time for him.

Time elapsed and soon Xie Yu made the call notifying them she was just an hour's drive away.

"Where are the rest?" Mrs Yumaa who just had a call with Xie Yu asked.

She had to welcome Xie Yu, the co-executive.

"Let me get them for you." Bryan went back for the girls.

It was now past 2 pm, yet no police had come back to arrest no one.

Mr Yumaa was busy outside, talking with a guard when Inspector Joe Ken arrived.

"You again." Mr Yumaa was being rough with the inspector.

"I'm here for Bryan." Inspector Joe Ken wasted no time with Mr Yumaa as he went straight to the mansion where Mrs Yumaa intercepted him.

"Please come in Inspector. I wonder what brought you back." Mrs Yumaa was being soft but her husband felt envious as he watched them from outside.

"How is Hao Ge?" He instead asked the guard who added another injury to his heart.

"Sir, my men were killed before they got to the hospital." He reported. So Hao Ge was still breathing!

Mr Yumaa knew his life will be in more danger. Hao Ge had somehow acquired some information regarding him, if this got known to the public, he feared he will end his life in jail.

"I'm leaving, " Mr Yumaa said as he fetched the keys to the SUV.

This all was going the other way from his expectations.

"Mrs Yumaa, I will say thanks for the warm welcome. Though I do have bad news, Bryan will be charged with murder. Do you have anything to say?" Inspector Joe Ken said. By now, Bryan stood just away, listening to them.

He felt the need to run, but he trusted Mrs Yumaa who advised him to let everything go per the law.

"It was an accident, you see, prince Ge threatened their lives." Mrs Yumaa said as Inspector Joe Ken agreed to her.

"I'm sorry, I know all that but I have no power on this level, I fear only the judge can decide his fate."

Inspector Joe Ken was being friendly.

"Bryan, you are under arrest for murder." He turned to Bryan as he pulled out his cuffs. " Don't resist."He warned as he hand-cuffed him.

In the kitchen, Mae sobbed as Abi watched with a broken heart, they could do nothing to help as Bryan was led out, into the cruiser.

Almost at this time, Xie Yu arrived and missed Bryan who had just been taken away.

"Where is Bryan?" She did ask as she was fed with the news. "What?" Xie Yu did pretend to be hurt for Bryan but deep down she knew the boy had just been saved from her.

'I have to let Erick know the target is in motion.' Xie Yu pretended to be touched and started crying as she locked herself in the bathroom.

"Aunt Xie Yu" Mae did try calling her out but Mrs Yumaa advised her to let her aunt weep.
