CHAPTER TWENTY ONE. "Give us a minute Flynn. Trust me on this one." Detective Lauren whispered to Detective Flynn."Are you sure?" Detective Flynn asked. "Yes." Detective Lauren nodded, staring hard at Pearl. "I guess if this doesn't work then nothing else will." She was communicating in whispers with Detective Flynn."Okay. I'm outside." Detective Flynn said and left the room. Detective Lauren pulled out a chair, sitting opposite Pearl. "Let's get straight to business Pearl." Detective Lauren said. "Let me guess, another round of interrogation?" Pearl asked. "Please let me go. I'm certain by now the school must have replaced me.""I'll definitely let you go. All you need do is answer few questions." "I have no business with Coco." "Your diary says otherwise.""It was written six years ago. For God's sake I didn't mean those things I wrote in there." "Just answer my questions Pearl, will you?" "Let me guess again, first question is, 'where is Coco'?" "No." Detective Lauren

CHAPTER TWENTY THREE. "What is wrong with my dad?!" Coco Kaave held the doctor firmly and shaked her to the point she almost fell. "Why is he not breathing anymore?" "Relax Coco. He is not dead yet, he's in coma." Doctor Mira said. "Rephrase! Remove that 'yet'! My dad's never going to die." Coco looked at Doctor Mira in frustration.Chief Onapuruagu pulled Coco to sit down beside him, and cleaned her tears. Chief Onapuruagu, Chief Kaave, Coco Kaave, and Doctor Mira, were flying in Chief Onapuruagu's private jet, on their way out of Dirty South. They were headed to Egypt. Coco didn't remove her eyes from her father for a second. She looked at her precious dad, laying helplessly on the bed, placed on life support. Heart broken, she fell asleep on the jet in Chief Onapuruagu's arms, with tears on her face, knowing her dad might never wake up. Knowing he might be gone forever. Worse, she knew beyond any doubt that she was the cause of his condition and every other thing that went w

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE. The black Bugatti drove inside Chief Onapuruagu's mansion speedily. Delma and Inna standing by the entrance of the door to the house, dressed in their best attire, exchanged nervous looks when the Bugatti drove in. "Could she be the one?" Inna asked, using her left hand to pinch Delma on on her thighs."I don't know. Maybe." Delma replied, while maintaining a straight welcoming face.The Bugatti parked, Madam Claudia stepped down from the Bugatti with her daughter, Tems. As they walked inside the house, Delma and Inna greeted with welcoming smiles on their faces. Chief Onapuruagu's driver busied himself with moving their luggages inside the house. Delma and Inna quickly followed Madam Claudia to the living room. Madam Claudia used her eyes to thoroughly access the living room before she got sitted with Tems. "You are welcome ma." Inna and Delma said I'm unison. "We are pleasured to have you." "Thank you." Madam Claudia smiled back. "So this is where my son

CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN.The next day, the entire city of Dirty South was in chaos. The army, police and FBI were out on patrol. Detective Flynn and Detective Lauren, were both at the general hospital, guarding the IC unit, were Sir Edwin was rushed to, currently receiving treatment.Sir Edwin suffered a heart attack and mild stroke the early hours of that morning, after the news reached him in his office: the headquarters of the FBI office and his family house in SouthSide were burnt to ashes last night, by unknown men. The morning newspapers reported the story of the fire. In the FBI headquarters, the remains of an unidentified man were found in the ruins. Coco Kaave was suspected. "Come inside Detectives." Doctor Brown said, opening the large IC doctor, looked at both detectives keenly. "Edwin wants to have a word with you." He held the door open for the two detectives.

CHAPTER TWENTY NINE.Pearl, Brandy, and Carey sat in their living room, each busy with their phones. No one said a word to each other. Looking at her wristwatch, Brandy said, "Why exactly was i invited? It's over an hour and no one's saying anything."Pearl blew her chewing loudly, with obvious intentions to spite Brandy. She sighed, readjusting her sitting position, pretending to be having fun with her phone."I told you Rose set up this meeting. She should be here any moment." Carey said, trying to peep through the window. "I wonder what she wants." "She better not want anything. Didn't she go ahead to marry dad, without our consent, without inviting us? Why is she trying to get approval now?" Brandy replied. "I'm not even interested in melodrama at this point in my life." Pearl laughed again, humming. Brandy ignored. "Knock knock." Came Rose's voice from outside. "Anyone home?""Yes, come in." Carey screamed, making sure it was enough to be heard from outside. Rose stepped in
