"Thank you sir". He walked him out of the house. He returned and tucked her in well before leaving the house to get her drugs.

The sound of her phone was what woke her up.

"Ahhhh who on earth calls by this time" just as she wanted to pick up the call, the call was terminated.

"What the hell!!" She checked the time and discovered that it was just three in the morning. She saw a paper that was folded neatly on the floor when she wanted to get off the bed.

"What's this?" She picked it up and it appeared to be a letter

"If you are seeing this that means you must be awake. Your medicine is on your table. I promise you we will find your brother but before that you have to take care of your health. You won't want your brother to come and see lieing on the bed "would you?"

I'll see you tomorrow. Ensure to take your drugs with a  love emoji which he drew at the end"  she smiled as she read the letter.

She looked at her table and found the drug she poured water out of the jug to the cup and took the medicine. She laid back on the bed and thought of what, where and how Elvis was.

"Is he okay?"

"Has he eaten?"

"What's he doing?" Those kind of thought kept running through her head until her phone beeped indicating that a message was sent.

It was a like a file or something that was sent to her

"What is this?" She kept staring at the message. After much debating she clicked the picture immediately she saw the picture her phone fell. It was of a picture of Elvis tied to a chair, he was looking.... She felt suffocated, It was as if all the air in her lungs suddenly disappeared. Tear drops where falling, she closed her mouth to prevent her from screaming.

"No that's not possible!!"

"That's not my brother!!" She was still in confusion when the same number called her again

"By now I'm sure you must have seen the picture? If you need him alive withdraw the charges from the police and I'll tell you what to do next" with that the persom ended the call

"Hello! Hello!! Pls don't do anything to him. Hello!!!" She was heartbroken, she can't bring herself to imagine the kind of pain he was going through.

She immediately stood up and dashed to the bathroom, she rushed out of the bathroom and immediately ran outside and stopped a taxi she didn't even bargain the price and told him to go to the police station. "Madam am sorry but there is still no news of him" the police officer who was involved in the case told her. "I want to withdraw any charge or case" she said hurriedly. "Am sorry ma'am you cant just withdraw the charges'' the officer said. " Is it your brother!! " she shouted. "Listen and listen good I said am not more interested, so please lets end it here" she begged in a low tone. "Okay i will ma'am but the station won't be held responsible if anything goes wrong" he said. "That's fine by me" she said. She left the station and squatted at one corner near the police station and cried to her heart content. After she was done she boarded a taxi and went home. An officer who was overhearing her discussion with the other officer, he made a phone call after some dial the reciver picked "Sir she just came to withdrew the charges" the reciver didnt even reply and ended the call.

While Elsa was in the taxi all of a sudden the taxi stopped. "Sir what happened?" She asked. "I think am out of fuel" the taxi driver said. He came out of the car and opened the bonnet. She came out of the car and went to meet him "Am afraid you will have to board another taxi ma'am" the taxi driver said. She nodded her head and asked "how much should I pay". " Don't worry, you can go" she just carried her belongings and started walking. It was as if the heavens where not by her side, she couldn't find a taxi after waiting for sometime she heard a horn at her back but she didn't turn until when the car came very close to her. "Hey dear, if you don't mind why not hop in, dont you think this sun is too hot for you" he driver said she didn't act as if though she heard him. "Hey!!" The driver called again. He kept pestering her, she got annoyed and faced him "can't you see or don't you understand that I don't need your help?" She asked. Just because he was driving a fancy car doesn't mean he can just stop or disturb her. "Please be on your way" she added. Just as she walked away she saw a taxi she was beyond happy, she immediately hopped in the taxi.

"What!!" Debby and jacob shouted "how could you just end the search" Debbie was the first to asked. "What made you bring down the charges?" Jacob asked. "I am not just interested you guys should just please let's bury it here" Elsa begged, "What do you mean by let's bury it here?"

"Isn't he your brother for crying out loud, I won't allow you to just make such a nonsense decision we are going back to the station first thing tomorrow morning to reopen the case" Debby said. "And what if I don't?"

"Elsa I don't really know what wrong with you but this is not you, this is not what you should be doing right now can you just tell us what's wrong?"

"I'm fine you don't have to worry I just don't want to take on this case anymore" Elsa said. Debbie angrily stomped out.

"Elsa I know I'm not in the right position to tell you what to do and what's not to do but please I want you to think about it again and if there is anything you want to say, just know we are always here for you". Jacob said leaving the house. He met Debby outside leaning on the wall, he moved close to her " hey, i understand that she's doing is wrong but as her friends, we have to support and help her see that her decision is not right"....
