THE ONE I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR: Chapter 21 – 30

? CHAPTER 30 ?

How do we get the record she a sled for now? Anita asked them as they got out of the house. “Just leave that to me, I could go to john’s office and talk to him about it.

I know he’s not the tough type, neither is he the type that jumps into conclusions easily, he must’ve been convinced by the evidence he got. Chris replied

To be honest, I’m glad we have someone else to support us in fighting for her. I just hope Matilda would be able to endure all these. Desmond said

I am glad too, I know Matilda would scale through. She’s always been a very brave person, she would definitely endure but I’m sure she’d be dying there since she has no one to talk to that’d believe her… Anita said too.

Can’t we just tail them so we’d know where they kept her? What if she’s feeling sick already? She must be looking scrawny now I guess… Desmond suggested

Of course we can’t, not after they’ve dealt with different types of people. Just imagine how wide they would’ve become after dealing with Elon and his boss…Chris replied

Let’s leave here then, we should start working on the mission already.

AT THE HIDEOUT
You still won’t confess to the crime you committed right? the guys torturing Matilda asked but all she did was cry as different thoughts appeared in her mind. They poured water on her and whipped her more but she refused to talk.

Aaaaaaaargh! She groaned as hot water was poured on her feet. “This will continue until you confess to the crime, so I advise you to talk in order to save yourself of this pain” one among the guys said as he kept slapping her.

Stop!!!! they heard Gabriel said as he entered and they stopped what they were doing. “Welcome back sir” They greeted with a bow.

Why are you causing all these for yourself, can’t you just talk? Why don’t you just save yourself by admitting to the fact that you did it. I would’ve forgiven you a long time ago if you’d done that since… He said to her.

I never knew you could be this ignorant. You think I did that despite all you’ve done for me? Fine! since that’s what you want, I’ll admit that I killed your parents.

Yes I killed them, just kill me already and stop making life more hurtful to me. I’ve always wanted to meet my family, kill me! Kill me!! Kill me now!!! She yelled amidst tears.

Yeah! That’s what I’m talking about. For your Information, I had what you said just now recorded. I won’t kill you, of course you know I can’t, I love you too much for me to do that. All I will do now is hand you over to the cops and you shall have the proper judgement.

I’m sure you would be able to tell them what my parents did to you that made you kill them and how many people you’ve murdered in your life yet pretends to be innocent.

“Make her bruises go off, she shouldn’t look like she’s been tortured” He said and left the room.

AT JOHN’S OFFICE
I can see you’re happily engaging yourself in your business while you make life miserable for an innocent soul… Chris said as he entered john’s office.

Well! I hope you would wake up from your dreams and face reality. I advise you to stop taking aides with someone who might later hurt you just as she’s done to me already… John replied

You weren’t like this John, don’t you think you’re pushing things too far? Chris asked just then john’s phone vibrated and he picked it to check the notification

Wow! the person you’re fighting for right now has confessed to the crime… He said with a smile as he showed him the video.

What have you done to her? Tell me where you’re hiding her or I’ll make you beg for your life. Wait! Do you think she wouldn’t lie against herself when you’ve made life miserable for her already?

Tell me where she is, I’m asking for the last time… He warned but john only folded his arms and watched him talk.

“You must think I’m joking” Chris said and carresed his face with a heavy punch. They fought hard till Chris bouncers broke the door and ran in to separate them.

“I’ll be back for you” Chris said before leaving.

Few days later
“These are the ones working at the house where Matilda lives” Chris said to the doctor as they sat in her office to work on the mission they have ahead.

This one is my person, I’ve known I since along time ago and I’m sure he’d be glad to work for me.
I think the inky way to know where they kept her is to plant a snitch among his workers… She said after checking their profile.

She placed a call a cross the guy she chose which he answered almost immediately. “Come see me at my home this evening, I need to discuss something with you” she said.

“Alright! ma’am” he replied, and just then Chris phone started ringing. “Oh! Anita” he said in seeing who the caller was.

Hello! he said. “Where are you? She asked”. ” I’m with the doctor, why do you sound like you’re crying, what’s wrong?” He replied.

“Turn the TV on or better still, check your phone. Those guys got her arrested ” she said and he grabbed the remote and switched it on.

“A lady named Matilda who confessed has been arrested for murdering Mr and Mrs Thomas years back with evidence” the news headline said.
