“Mide!” Ire screeched as she clawed on his shiny black suit. She stomped on the Flowers that adorned the ground as she was pulled away, a long distant stare remained in her eyes as she begged her brother to help in every language she knew.
but Mide, Remained silent.
“Mide it's not me! I'm not a killer!” Her high pitched voice rung through the ears of a helpless Mide as his sister was arrested as taken away.
Three words kept ringing in his head.
Ire killed Temi.
***********
The guests had began to leave. This was one big wedding disaster, Gina had her arm wrapped around Mide's as the scenario played on.
The sound of police sirens got fainter by the Moment and so did Mide's self control. Ire was not a killer, she was Everything but a killer, Yes she was different, she wore dark clothes, took drugs from time to time, hung out with the wrong crowd here and there. But that girl was no killer. The scenario that occurred a few minutes said otherwise though.
That person, that monster that was so blood thirsty could not have been his sister, Mide refused to accept that his sister was a killer! Who was it? who was this person that was toying with his Sanity and driving him insane? He was more than ready to lose his badge if when he was one on one with the psychotic monster he could dismember them piece by piece.
But what if Ire was indeed the Killer? what if he never knew his sister? what if...?
“I can't believe she did this,” Gina said in a shaken voice piercing through Mide's thoughts. she was still terrified about the event that had just occurred and the blood that currently stained her clothe was more than enough evidence. Her long white Elegant gown was ruined and stained with her own blood. thankfully, They got there in time, who knows what would have happened? Would Ire have really killed Gina? Mide did not want to know.
Mide felt like an outsider as he watched his own memories play before his eyes. It was all so blurry, One moment he was waiting at the aisle, and the other he was separating his sister from his bride. Ire, Ire wanted to kill her, she even hurt her. And now, Gina was hell bent on proving that Ire was the killer.
How did so much change in two weeks? He still remembered leaving the office that day, Before he was he was summoned by the head quarters and suspended for no legit reason. A week later He got back with Gina, and she convinced him to get married, His relationship with Ire was doing great, They talked and saw eye to eye, but he always noticed how Ire looked at Gina, It was a look of pure hatred and Anger.
Mide would admit that they never got along, but it was just beef, There was no hatred. He wondered where these sudden emotions came from, What did Gina do that was so bad, Ire wanted to take her life. and why in the world was Gina so certain that Ire was Temi's killer! Gina had only met Temi once.
what was Mide missing here?
**************************
“It was so scary!” Gina lamented. Big fat tears poured down her eyes as she cradled her wounded arm while Mide held her, providing as much comfort as he could.
Nothing was adding up. he felt like the killer was taking round the world, and beating around the bush, There was smoke, but no fire in it's direction.
It's either the killer was a fool or just playing with him. This enraged Mide. He needed to talk to someone. Urgently. Even though he was suspended, He needed to do his research, he had only one week till his suspension was up, but he could not hold on for that long, he had questions and he wanted answers, Now.
“One moment I was getting ready and the next she was on top of me, Mide she wanted to kill me! Your sister is psychotic!” She accused in a high pitched voice as she released herself from Mide's grip and paced about
“she has to pay for this! and for killing Temi too.” Mode felt a switch flip at that.
So many thoughts were running through his head, Was Ire really the killer? if so, why was Hannah's fingerprints found on the murder weapon and not hers, Why was Gina so hell bent on the idea that Ire was the killer, Why did Hannah confess to being that killer if it was really Ire, and who in the world was that person that called him?!
Who was the real killer? Who was really pulling the strings here? Mide had a million questions to ask, but instead He stuck to one question that had been at the tip of his tongue since Gina accused Ire.
“How are you so sure that Ire killed Temi?” He asked dreading her answer.
“I witnessed it” was Gina's firm reply. An answer that held another batch of a Million questions.
************
“Mi” Ire called cheerfully as she reached the top of the stairs, her mind hell bent on walking down the stairs like her big brother always did. She knew she did not need to prove she was a big girl, but she wanted to please her precious "Mi" like she always called him. Though the five year old had not calculated the fact that she might not be able to complete twelve steps on her own.
“Ire!” Mide had yelled in horror as his little sister tumbled down the steps, and in a heart beat he was beside her, yelling profanities here and there, and supporting the five year old girl up while calling their parents at the same time.
Mide could never forget that day, Even though over 10 years had passed since then, that fear was till present looming over his thoughts like a dark cloud. Growing up, Mide and Ire had been Very close. it was safe to say they were inseparable. Ire loved Mode so much she would do anything to please him, and Mide loved Ire so much he would do anything to protect her.
Where was all this affection when she hauled away?
I should have stopped them.
Mide though as he banged his head on the wall for the millionth time that night, A bottle of almost empty whiskey carelessly dangling from the tip of his shaky fingers as his body trembled from sobs and mind ached from the pain of unsaid words.
He brought the bottle to his lips again, gaging painfully as the hot whiskey burnt
his throat. He winced as he pulled himself up, He Ignored the click on the door as he dropped his gun on his bedside table and headed for the shower.
Mide stumbled into shower and yanked his clothes off, Today was supposed to be the happiest day of his life right? He was finally going to marry the love of his life! and now? Now he had lost the most important person in his life. He was forced to choose between believing the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with and the one he had spent his whole life with. what other worse dilemma could someone find themselves in?
Mide was so invested in his thoughts that he Didn't notice the shadow that entered his room, he didn't notice the sound of windows clicking and he of course did not notice the door close once again.
