Sad Truths
"Gentlemen please, let's be civilized here. This is not a market place." Inspector Jerome said with an effort to control the uproar between Efe and the Onwukas.
"Mr man you better sit back and do your job." Mr. Onwuka snapped back at Inspector Jerome. "This girl must not leave here today, she must rot in jail."
"I'm sorry but that won't be happening." Veronica chimed in, announcing her presence. Grace's eyes widened in disbelief as soon as she heard her voice. Seeing Veronica's face overwhelmed her with a sense of uncertainty about what could happen next. Everyone including June and Joana was clueless about what was going on.
"Who is this?" Jerome asked. "And I thought I told you, girls, to wait over there?"
"Who I am is not of importance right now," Veronica replied. "What is important right now is that this girl right here is innocent and you are going to receive a call any moment from now telling you why you should release her."
"What?" Jerome s

"So can someone please tell me what the hell is going on?" Efe queried as he stood in the middle of the living room. June, Grace, and Joana took their sitting positions on the only sofa in the room while Veronica sat on a wooden chair close to them."Guys, I think we have to tell him," Grace said as she looked at her friends. They didn't like the idea."Are you sure?" June asked."There's no point in keeping it from him now," Grace replied, glancing over to Veronica for support.Veronica shrugged."Well..." Efe said with gesturing with his hands to indicate his impatience.Grace sighed.

"We're leaving tonight."Grace sprang up to her feet"What? No! To where?""To my place at Ikeja," Efe answered. "My roommate has been out of town for like a week now but that's not an issue, I'll just call and let him know you would be staying with us.""No!" Grace objected. " I don't want to leave. Why are we leaving?""Are you too blind to see all that is going on?" Efe queried. "Do you still see this as a game after all that has happened? You must be delusional and I'll be damned if I let you get killed or go to prison."Grace turned to her friends for support they all kept quiet. It wasn't their place to say anything. Grace had to speak up for herself."But what about school?""Aren't you done with your WAEC exams already? You girls just go there to play.""But graduation is coming up very soon.""And so what? Are you willing to risk your life for just one day? Come on Grace, be sensible!""B-but
Homicide Squad An unexpected visit.
Grace said goodbyes to her friends on the agreement that she would investigate Veronica and comeback immediately she is done before getting on the road with Efe. Life in the city was a bit different from town to Grace in terms of how lively everywhere was even late in the night, unlike her town where everyone would have closed their doors shut at 10 pm.They got to Efe's place at Ikeja at exactly 11 pm. The first thing Grace did was to evaluate the place. It was a single room flat, one that Efe had to settle for before because Grace didn't want to leave Ketu but had to get a roommate when he realized his salary couldn't keep up with his expenses too well. The living room had a small flat-screen TV, a music player, and a set of speakers. The furniture all around looked decent too. The only problem Grace had was that the place was a bit tinier than usual."This place looks nice, you would know that bachelor lives here at first sight," Grace said with a smile.

After Grace took a shower, she put on a pair of blue jean trousers and a yellow top before coming out to see Efe and Rose laughing as they cross-checked notes together."Great, you're out," Efe said raising his head as soon as she stepped into the living room. "Hey, that's mine!" He barked pointing at the shirt."Well I like it and I wore it so now it's mine." Grace retorted.Rose couldn't help herself but laugh at the victimized expression Efe wore on his face."What are we eating this morning?" Grace asked."What is in the kitchen?""Noodles?" Grace exclaimed. "What is wrong with you people, isn't there something decent to eat around here?""We don't buy foodstuffs to keep for later because of work." Efe said to appeal to Rose and Grace's disappointed faces. It didn't help change anything."Come on, " He said to Rose "you should be on my side here, we both work in the same place.""That's not an excuse for eating
Homicide Squad I'm beginning to lose hope.
Vaillant Estate is one of the few places in Lagos meant for the rich to reside away from the rest of the middle and lower classes. It is filled with luxurious and beautiful houses, yet at the same time looked so quiet and desolate to Grace. She could bet none of the neighbors there knew each other closely asides from their names and titles. Efe had warned her before he left in the morning that she had zero chance of getting into the estate but it wasn't enough to discourage her from going.Grace realized why he said so as soon as she saw the security in front of the estate. They weren't armed to the teeth but judging by their attire, she regarded them as the real deal. At that point, she decided to play it cool and try her luck."Good afternoon sir," She said to the man in front. "Can you please let me in?""Who are you looking for?" The man queried with a straight face. Grace thought he looked like he had been wearing that expression all his life."And w
Homicide Squad Run away!
Joana had finished packing, all that was left now was to sneak out of the house without raising any suspicions from her dad."I think you should go out and check if he is still in the living room." Joana suggested."What if he asks about you? I told him I was going on to call you.""Tell him you didn't see me."June gulped nervously."Come on Ju, we don't have time." Joana said."Okay, I'll go." She said then walked out of the room."Daddy." She said as she walked by her parents' room door. There was no response. She called him out again but realized why he wasn't answering as soon as she got to the living room. Exhausted, her father was fast asleep on the couch she had left him some minutes ago. June quickly tiptoed back to her room."Is he there?" Joana asked."Shhh!" June warned with her fingers on her lips."Stop shushing me, I'm not loud." Joana glared."He's sleeping in the living room," June whispere

"So where would you be staying?" Margret asked shortly after they finished eating."John thought it would be best if fewer people knew about where we were going to avoid traces." Joana answered."And by fewer people he meant us right?" Margret said facing John whose hand gesture said 'You can't blame me.'"And when did our worries go from normal things like school and relationships and stuffs to murders and a serial killer on the loose?""These couple of weeks have been crazy." June added"And then Grace left, and now you and John are leaving... What about all our plans towards the end of the school year? What about graduation? This isn't fair."An awkward silence filled the room after Margret spoke."This sucks." June said shortly after."But it's better than being dead isn't it?"Margret sighed."What am I going to do without you girls. Nothing will feel the same ever again.""Hey you guys rem

John winced as he struggled to open his eyes. His whole body ached and the rays of morning sunlight reflecting on his eyes didn't make it easier for him. For a while, he didn't know where he was, or what he was doing there. He felt something dried up on his face and immediately knew it was his blood. He touched his forehead to discover it was swollen. As he fought back the throbbing ache on his head, he tried to gather his memory together.He looked over to his side to see Timileyin's face buried on the steering. Then he remembered.The Hilux... We crashed... Joana!His eyes were wide open now. The pain didn't subside though. He looked behind hoping to see Joana but could only find their bags."Oh my God!" His mouth felt dry as he exclaimed.He looked back at his cousin."Timileyin," He called with a cough. "Wake up." He said pushing him on the arm slightly.There was no response from Timileyin and John was beginning to fe
