บททั้งหมดของ Justice for Lucile: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

In the courtroom , B.J had left the witness stand and was now sitting with his lawyer back at his seat . they stared and listened in silence as they awaited the final verdict of the Judge who was found to be still scribbling down some notes on his bench.Nena as well was found seated alongside Lucile who was also silent as she stared at Nena do her own. writing down in her notepad on the table.The silence in the room was soon cut short soon after as the judge called B.J to stand up and receive his verdict.BJ stood up and then the Judge began to speak.“the verdict!” he began, hitting the gavel on his desk. “ It seems we have reached a climax here as we have all heard diverse perspectives of the story from both parties here, the prosecution and the defendants. Now in as much you both have made very compelling and commendable arguments, there is still need for Justice to be served and upheld.” He now sat upright and adjusted his gl

Back in the city of Lagos, maestro hadn’t stopped to keep pushing forward with his business in the distribution of product . he had even dared to expand his territorial district , extending into the south ; Nadia’s territory.He had this sense of achievement now flowing through him Like a pipe of drainage . He felt like he had finally won in the feud between him and Madinni as she had not yet shown any signs of retribution , although he kept his guard up for he knew he could not be so sure about it , and she could as well take him by surprise with a swing of unexpected action without him even seeing it coming. He swung from right to left on his rotational desk seat , tilting himself in perfect balance as he relaxed his back on it . he exhaled a puff of smoke from his Cuban cigar through the cavity perforated in the mouth region of his mask.He seemed to be enjoying his own company in solitude and the serenity that came with it. Unf

It took over an hour drive for Nena and Lucile to arrive at the Johnson’s home. Lucile’s parents were already there awaiting their arrival for a minute now.They reached the compound and Nena parked her vehicle at their garage. Lucile was the first person that elated the vehicle and Nena followed suite a minute later. Both their faces were pale, obviously from the confession that Lucile had just shared earlier while In the car. Nena was filled with rage.The realisation that she had just convicted the wrong person of a heinous crime and sent him away for a very long time didn’t sit right with her at all. It didn’t feel like a win to her anymore. It didn’t feel like justice.She had convicted many of several crimes before but had never bothered to ask for the true story. Her work ethics didn’t permit her to inquire for the truth but rather for only evidences that will help her win the case and convict the felon of the indicted

Down at the district police station where Nadia Madinni had been apprehended and was now being held, the police were judicious about their normal activities and had not yet been able to begin her questioning yet. They just detained her in the interrogation room in the hopes that she would get anxious till her brain blows out but to their disappointment, she didn’t. As a matter of fact, the reverse was the case here. the police detective who had captured her stepped into the room and found her staring sternly at the wall in front of her while placing her cuffed hands on the table. The detective stared at her curiously, Nadia was silent as he expected but she looked rather too composed for a felon. Anyways, that was not his business, his only job here was to carry out a very judicious interrogation in finding out what really went down back there in the streets.The detective was a tall man with dark skin and bald head. he was lanky and had a funn

Nena boarded on the flight the next morning headed to Lagos. She was in a hurry after she had learned the full details of the new development on the maestro case through a phone call she made the previous night with Jasper.She knew there was much work to do and she had to be present in the interrogation of their newly apprehended suspect Nadia Madinni. Nadia had come up several times in their investigation for the kingpin case but like maestro, they had very little to convict her with.Nena sat silently on the plane, wondering what the turn out of their interrogation with the suspect would look like. After close to eight months working on the case, something finally turns up. She wondered if indeed this should be regarded as good news. Soon after her plane landed, she departed and headed straight down to the district police station where Nadia was being detained for questioning.She walked into the building, storming in with much haste and headed s
