Chapter 36

"Hello, Dean... Jeffrey is currently in our custody right now... you can start coming before you start questioning..."The inspector called Dean while staring at Jeffrey from a glass with his handcuffs.
"Yeah... me and Jenni will be coming right away... please don't say anything to him... I'd like to ask the question myself... please..." Dean pleaded as he urged Jennifer to get into the car after she had been found hiding in an uncompleted building.
"No problem but... you don't have to ask illegal questions because it might also affect you... Thanks... I'm waiting for you" The inspector ended the call.
"Dean... can't we wait for a little... I think I'm ill" Jennifer walks slowly as she is about to enter the vehicle but stops by the side of the door.
"What's wrong with you?" Dean asked, placing her blonde hair across her ear.
"I... I...I...." She stammered as saliva start dropping from her mouth and Dean brought out a napkin and clean it for her
"I don't know what's wrong with you but I think you should talk to me... we have always talked to each other about this or are you trying to say you don't trust me now... if that's what's on your mind, you can still tell me and I'll know how to handle things" Dean was staring at her lip after she has cleaned her mouth with the napkins. He kept staring at her while Jennifer was looking at the floor, and scared to stare at Dean with a guilty conscience.
"The thing is... i... trust you and I know you have tried all your best for me and everyone around you... the thing is... when u were kidnapped, a nice man kept petting me over there, although I couldn't see his face I know clearly that he has a scar on his left hand... The day I and Jeffrey met at the restaurant, I saw that same scar and I looked clearly as if it was it.... and yes, it was but I found it hard to believe he's one of them because your mum said you paid them 6 million dollars...I'm sorry... The way he spoke to me in the restaurant made me feel pity for him and forget he was one of the kidnappers... I'm sorry Dean" Her stammered voice cried out while Dean hugged her in compensation to let it go.
"You don't have to blame yourself and besides, we haven't proved anything that Jeffrey is part of them...I will find it hard to believe Jeffrey is part of them but why don't we go to the station and hear what he has to say if truly the sim is in his wallet, then we have no choice but to hand him over to the police. I'm sorry." He whispers to her as he slowly opens the car while hugging Jennifer.
"Don't be scared... let's go to the station together... I already told the inspector, ``I'll ask Jeffrey a question myself so don't worry, we'll do that together" he made sure that Jennifer entered the car before he went to his driver seat.
"Dean... please when we are in the station... don't mention anything concerning Jeffrey's mum! I'm emotional and can easily be carried away by little things" Jennifer composed herself as she cleaned her tears from her eye and became the second eye while Dean was driving.
"No problem... don't worry, you'll be the one who will do the questioning... I will accompany you if Jeffrey tries to play smart on you again" Dean concluded while facing the road and both of them remained silent.
As they were driving, none of them were able to talk to each other before Dean's mum called him.
"Hi... mum! Why are you calling me at this time?" Dean picked up his cell phone and Jennifer stared at him for a minute.
"Can't I call my son? What is wrong with you Dean... or is it because you have money now?" His mum yelled at him and Dean became shy because he just turned his phone to Bluetooth, so Jennifer can hear everything.
"Mum! Stop it...I'm sorry mum" He grumbles looking at Jennifer but Jenni smiles and looks away.
"Go away... what is it that I'm hearing... that one of the kidnappers has been caught... is that true," She asked and for a moment, Dean became silent while he and Jenni looked at each other in shock.
"Mum! how did you get the information..." Dean stuttered as he asked surprisedly.
"Don't be a silly kid... it's on the news right now... Where are you now" She yelled at him and immediately, Dean parked his vehicle by the roadside, thinking of what to tell his mum as her airtime was burning.
"Hmm... mum! Don't worry... I'm aware and I and Jennifer are heading to the station right away... don't worry... take care of yourself please" Dean concluded and was about to end the call but his mum interrupted him.
"Don't worry my son... Please be careful... you know he's a kidnapper... I can't afford to lose you my son" She talks intensely while walking around her house and saying some secret prayers.
"Thanks, mum! Don't worry... nothing will happen to us" Dean ended the call immediately.
"Wow! News spread fast... why did they announce it so soon without clarification... hmm, anyway... it's their medium and not mine" He looked at Jenni and started the car again.
"Don't let this get over your head... hope we are almost there" Jennifer turned and looked at him as she saw the grief in him and that was the reason she changed the topic.
" Yeah... before a minute, we'll be there." Before Dean completed his statement, he turned to the station and parked his car outside the gate... He went down and headed straight to the gateman to let them in but the gateman chose to be stubborn and refused to let them in.
Dean called the inspector and shouted at him before the inspector called the gateman. The gateman has already opened the door for him because seeing someone shouting for the inspector will be as deadly as he's.
"Hey... Mr. man... go and call my wife in the vehicle to come in" As Dean entered, he turned and was shocked to see that Jenni was not following him so he shouted at the gateman.
"Hello, inspector... How are you doing... thanks for the heads-up... much love" He shook the inspector and hugged him while looking toward the gate and saw as Jennifer was walking slowly toward the station.
He rushed to her and held her hand, whispering to her to be courageous.
"Inspector... This is my wife... the one the kidnapper kidnapped... Can I talk to him now?" The inspector looked at her and shook but she kept staring at him and shaking him slowly while shaken.
"Yes please... follow me" They all followed the inspector into the station and saw Jeffrey through the glass as he was sitting all alone in the lonely room
Dean and Jennifer entered the room while the inspector was staring at them from the glass and he can listen to their conversation.
"Hi... Jeff... it's been a while... how have you been..." Dean waved at him but he was staring at Jennifer while Jennifer was looking at the ground.
"Jeffrey" Dean yelled and he became shocked, making him look him in the eyes.
"I'm sorry for shouting at you... but please... we are the only one that can help you right now if you choose to tell us everything that is going on..." Dean commented calmly but Jeffrey still refused to talk while he was staring at him.
"Jeffrey... why can't you say something... trust me... I know you don't like me but I'm the only one right now who can save you from this place and I'll only do that when you open up your mouth and talk to me exactly what is going on but if you can't tell me anything, it left for you to sleep in prison for the rest of your life" He dragged Jeffrey up while he was staring at him and Dean deep his hand into his back pocket where he brought out the wallet... He looked at it and saw the bunch on Sim the person said on the phone.
"Fine...You think we can't find evidence right... Here is the evidence... And... with this, it'll prove everything" Jeffrey was still staring at him while Jennifer raised her head and looked at the wallet, it was truly a piece of evidence.
"Fine... I should tell your mum what you are up to" Dean commented again and Jeffrey's heart became boiled up as he mentioned his mum but he was still quiet.
"Jeffrey... look at me... I know things are hard for you right now but we are the only ones you can trust and we are the only ones who can get you out of here so you should open up for your sake and your mum's sake" Jennifer responded while holding Dean hand as he was about to leave in anger.
"It wasn't my idea... This was all Rachel's idea" Jeffrey commented with his low and cracked voice as he looked downwards with grief and tears all over his eyes.
