“Quick! Get my car keys” Omnipresent shouted to Jeff, “We must move really fast”, “There’s no need for that” Aunty Fanny interrupted, “my driver is here with me”“But you were asked to come alone” Omnipresent replied looking surprised “and besides, I didn’t notice any car parkedoutside”“That’s because he’s parked few blocks down the road and you should know me better than that” she said giving Jeff a knowing look, “there was no way I was coming down here all by myself, not when the caller’s name in question was Omnipresent” she added jokingly as they hurriedly made their way out of the house.When they were finally in the car, Aunty Fanny looked down at her watch, it was already a half past four, “there’s definitely no way we’re going to make it to the airport before her flight leaves” she blurtedout, “I’m going to have to call the InspectorGeneral to stop her for us.
“Do you think he’d believe your story?” Jeff asked looking distraught, “he has no choice” Aunty Fanny replied bringing her phone out of her bag and dialing his number.“Hello IG” she said when he picked up the call, “I have a situation on my hand and I’m going to need your help to resolve it”“What situation might that be ma?” the IG asked, “My nephew’s wife Lara is on her way out of the country with his daughter, her flight is leaving in exactly an hour and thirty minutes and I need you to stop her now.”“Is she not the mother of the child in question?” the IG asked, “yes she is” Aunty Fanny responded, “so why do you want to stop her from traveling with her own child?” he asked, “I’m not stopping her from traveling with her child, I’m preventing her from leaving the country” Aunty Fanny explained, “she committed murder and is now trying to escape”“Murder? Who did she kill?” the IG asked, “I’m not aware that any new case of murder has been reported”“She’s responsible for Mr. Balogun’s death” Aunty Fanny said, “but we already wrapped up that case, he was killed by his sister-in-law”“You arrested her wrongly, that girl is innocent; the real murderer is Lara” Aunty Fanny argued, “How can you prove that?” the IG asked, “I have a witness to the murder sitting right here with me” Aunty Fanny responded, “but how do we know the person isn’t lying?” the IG asked, “you’llunderstand better when you see him” Aunty Fanny replied, “please just do this one favour for me, I promise you won’t regret it” Aunty Fanny reassured him hanging up the phone.“Do you think he will help” Jeff asked looking concerned, “I’m sure he will” Aunty Fanny affirmed, “I just hope he acts swiftly.
Lara arrived at the airport at exactly 5pm with Jojo, she was fully packed and ready to be away for a long time. Her travel documents were complete and she had enough money to last her for a while.With only about 30 minutes left to check infor her flight, she hurriedly moved to the check in desk with Jojo, “Good evening ma’am, where are you flying to this evening?” the lady at the check-in desk asked with a smile on her face, “I’m going to Ghana” Lara replied handing over her ticket and passport for the lady to check, she couldn’t wait to get out of the country and leave her ugly past behind.
