"NO! LET ME GO!" I screamed as hands surged forth to grab me from going further into the room to hinder the doctor's work. The heart rate was still a flatline even as the man had pumped up her heart for the second time with the defibrillator.
Despite the fact that I was in a frenzied and maddened state as my eyes bulged out at the sight of t

"I've worked for Richard for 10 years, I idolized the man," I said trying to calm the swelling angst within me and set myself off the edge. "Ambition overrides ethics," he replied, his gaze falling to the dial of his watch. "I agree but I have no motive to kill." "He was stabbed, the Jama'atu had nothing to do with it," he countered and his revelation was shocking once more. "Then we should be looking for the real killers, not wasting precious time," I said with my tone insistent. "You've already been caught, so stop acting cowardly Agent. They found the murder weapon and your finger prints were on it." On instinct, I almost raked my hands through my hair in frustration, where was all this coming from! If I had been in Ikeja things wouldn't have resulted in this but where was Emeka? And why hadn't I heard from him?

"Absolutely ridiculous! It can't be," I voiced, still shell shocked at his words. "You ruined my brother's life and now you've created the perfect chance for me to do yours," he said. My eyes scanned his features again, willing the truth I had discovered to be unreal, a mistake but it wasn't and the intensity of the scorching sun hitting my dark skin, reminded me that it was all factual and nothing at all illusive. "Dave was never the crazy one, it was always you," he continued but my thoughts were racing with countless unanswered questions. "How then do you explain the Jama'atu's appearance on that day? I'm innocent of these crimes." "Mere coincidence, something that had to be done," he answered. "I'll prove to you all that I had nothing to do with this," I declared with a subtle nod as if trying to make a solemn promise concerning the task to myself. "When will that be?
