CHAPTER SEVEN

"come let's go in" he said to her and held her by the wrist," we need to wash that bastards smell and touch off your body. He led her to the entrance of her apartment and unlocked the door and led her in. He shut the door behind him and began to undress her. "What are you doing?" she asked, confusion clearly written on her face

"undressing you" he replied

" of course you are, why?"

"because we need to wash you"

"I can do that myself"

"I don't care" he said and lifted her up in his arms in a bridal style and carried her to the bathroom and turned on the shower, she was only in her underwear.

"we need to wash that bastard's touch and scent off your body" he said and a smile appeared on her face. She turned off the shower and moved closer to him and wrapped her arms around his back. " this isn't his first time you know"

"what after that time 12 years ago, did he touch you again?"

"No,fortunately he didn't, I guess the guilt that he forced himself on an 18 years old girl is still in him"

"guilt, that bastard doesn't have a conscience, Walter?"

"his was 12 years ago as well, his brother raped me on a Thursday and he came on a Friday to do finishing touches to my virginity that his brother broke, their mother didn't bother to treat me or correct are children for raping a girl, she said I am a toy for them to play with and that they could anything to me, It was Mrs Albert who came he next day and took me to a small hospital that won't ask too many questions, she wanted to make a report but I told her not too and I promised her that it will be the first charges I will press on them when everything is done and I am ready to send them to jail " she said and looked at him then she smiled,"why? do you see me as a whore too"

"Katherine" he called,"why would I see you as a whore hmm, am just pained that I can't do anything about it"

"did you say anything to Frank after I left?"

"No, I only punched him and insulted a little"

"didn't you say no"

"because I couldn't say and do all I wished to do and say to them"

"don't worry, you will be able to very soon"

"how soon?"

"Very soon" she said and kissed his lips and he kissed her back."Ah that reminds me, we need to talk, let's go to the room" she said and grabbed her towel a from the closet and wrapped it around herself"

"what is it about" he asked and followed her out of the room

"my parent's accident" she said and sat on the edge of the bed and he took his seat beside her

"your parent's accident?"

"Hmm" she said and nodded her head

"what about it?"

"I found out that there was a forensic report that stated that their death is not as a result of the accident but most likely carbon dioxide and that they might have been murdered

"what,murdered, why?, so there was a report like that"he asked and adjusted himself on the bed"and?

"hmm, the forensic person who investigate the suspected that their death was caused by carbon dioxide and I guess that was one of the reasons the car was burnt down to clear all traces"

"carbon dioxide?"

"hmm and the result was handed to the IGP who was then the police Chief"

"my dad"

"hmm"she said and he smiled

"why did you smile?"

"nothing just that…

"just that what?"

"am not surprised but am hurt and angry, my dad might have been involved in your parent's death and…

"it's doesn't matter, you aren't your dad, you are just you Michael, the man who has brought so much joy to my life"

"I am sorry"

"you don't have to"

"do you need me to do anything?"

"I want to look for the report. I need to get it"

"so, you want me to look for it for you?"

"no, I just need you to provide me access to his office, my fox will take care of the rest"

"Fred?"

"hmm and maybe the record room too"

"the police record room is not an easy place to access, moreover a case wasn't opened, there isn't a case file for them so it can't be in there"

"hmm, it's probably somewhere in his office or house, Fred should take care of the office and I will take care of the house, I will get you the keys to his office and code for his lockers"

"thank you"

"thank you, am ashamed to face you right now"

"really" she said and moved closer to him and planted a kiss on his cheek and they both chuckled.

"I need to take my leave now, make sure to rest and take care of yourself hmm"

"alright,am not a baby"

"alright" he said and left. She watched him leave the room and when she heard the sound of his car leaving the compound, she sighed and laid on her back on the bed and her legs spread out on ground"

*****************************

one could describe his relationship with his father as sour, their relationship isn't good at all and it has been like that since his mother passed away. His mother passed away when he was ten and ever since then he hasn't been in good terms with his dad because he blamed him for his mother's death according to him, he killed her. He walked into the Police office and his dad subordinates greeted him, they knew within them that the station was about to explode because each time he came around his visits never end well. He got to his dad's office and knocked the door before entering."wow, who do I have here" his dad said from his desk

"why do you look so excited to see me" he said and stood before his father's desk

"you are my son, so of course I am happy to see you" he said and he scoffed," what brings you here?"

"Dad, the accident that happened 14 years ago

"what accident?"

"am sure you already have an idea of the accident that am talking about, the one of MR and Mrs wellighton, your friend's late boss at least he is running the company proudly like he worked for it"

"what about it?"

"was it just an accident or something else, where those people murdered?"

"are you still seeing that girl?"

"why do you care?"

"Is she the one telling you nonsense like she was spitting 14 years ago, she hasn't yet come to her senses"

"why? Will you go and tell your friend so he can mistreat her or have his son rape her and hit her?" he yelled

"why would I do that, am not a child, she is probably depressed, you know she has gone through a lot, just stay away from her"

"what right do you have to tell me to do that, she is my woman and I love her and nothing can change that" he yelled and slammed his palm on the table

"so you won't listen to me"

"since when have I ever listened to you"

"when do you plan on forgiving me, it's been 22 years now since mom passed away, you were just ten years then and now you are 32, even if you aren't going to forgive me, please grant this one request of mine,let that girl go, get yourself a nice girl and get married" his father said and he laughed

"dad, you know I can forgive you for being a bad man who does a lot of bad and evil things for his own gain but I can never forgive you for hurting the two women in my life, you even killed one of them if given the chance you might kill the second one. I am ashamed to call you my father.And I won't leave Katherine alone, I will marry her and spend the rest of my life with her, you and your friend alongside his bastard sons can try to stop me" he said and left the office and banging the door behind him.
