Chapter 40

"Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent."
Terry Goodkind.
????????????????????????????
Few hours after the video of Jeremy's confession concerning the Circle community went viral, Daniel Hamilton called a meeting with the feathers and for the few minutes, since they started the meeting, the feathers haven't come up with a plan to stop the video.
"Is this how we are going to keep going on about this without finding a way to stop the video online?"munachi spoke up after observing that none of the feathers has anything to say.
" munachi is right, " Leonard agreed as he also speaks up. "We are trending everywhere and it a bad thing for us. What should we do about it?"
"Like I have said before, the only way to solve all of this is to get rid of that Akinsola boy, " Simone suggested.
"Kill the boy?" Alissa scoffed and stood up from her chair. " you think killing the boy won't raise questions from his angry supporters and also the press?" Alissa questioned and Simone watched her and waited for the answer to her question.
"What are you implying?" Park inquired.
"All I'm saying Is that killing the attorney won't solve the problem. What we should think of is how to play him and make him the victim of everything." Alissa suggested.
Daniel cleared his throat to gain attention from the feathers and when he did, he spoke up.
"I need you all to think of a way to make sure that the project I have been planning for twenty years doesn't go down in drains."
Alissa scoffed at his words and shook her head, " oh come on Daniel, the project plan is not the only thing at stake now. Our reputations are also at stake."
Daniel slammed his hand on the table and also stood up from his chair. "What are you trying to say, Alissa? You think I do not know that our reputation is also on the line.
Alissa walked to where Daniel stood and faced him," this wouldn't have happened if you had been careful with the maniacs you call sons, " Alissa said and pointed a finger at Daniel. "This all started with your children and we are in this problem because of them."
"Take your finger off my face or you will regret it." Daniel threatened.
"Guys, take it easy. We didn't come here to fight. We came here to solve the issue at hand." Simone stood up and stood between Daniel and Alissa.
"Daniel? I will regret it?" Alissa scoffed and pointed another finger towards him. "The only thing we will both regret is when the truth about the feathers comes out. What will you do then?"
"I am warning you Alissa Adedeji, take your fingers off my face," Daniel warned again.
"And what are you going to do about it Daniel Hamilton or should I say Daniel Olatunde?" Alissa pushed Simone that's was standing in between them away. She walked closer to Daniel and pointed a finger to his eyes.
"Guys, stop acting like children and sit your asses down, " park yelled. "What the hell is wrong with you both? We are trying to solve a matter at hand and you both think that's the best way to solve this is by fighting?"
"Tell Alissa to take her fingers off my face, " Daniel said to park.
"And tell him to stop making pointless threats, " Alissa retorted.
"Enough!" Simone shouted and pushed both of them away from each other. "I've had enough of you both! Alissa sit down, " she commanded. "And you too Daniel, " she said to Daniel who was glaring hard at Alissa. "Now!" Simone yelled again.
Alissa scoffed and went back to her seat while Daniel walked to his chair but he didn't seat down.
"For two adults, I didn't know that you two could be so foolish," munachi spoke up watching the argument between Alissa and Daniel. "This isn't going to solve anything. We need a plan and I have come up with one."
"Let's hear what you have to say munachi, " Leonard said.
"I think Alissa's suggestion is good for this plan, " munachi said and Alissa smiled where she sat down.
"How is her plan going to work out?" Park asked.
"Simple. We will play Jeremy Akinsola into his own game. "
"Wait, have you guys even thought about why this boy is doing all this? Why this boy is bent on destroying the feathers and most especially Daniel?" Leonard looks at the faces of all the feathers as he asked the question.
The feathers all murmured amongst themselves as they thought about what Leonard said.
Daniel cleared his throat and they all turned to face him.
"Whosoever he is and whatever his agenda is, everything is going to end soon. We will follow the suggestions of both munachi and Alissa, " Daniel said and then began to speak inaudibly
"The test result of the liquid in the syringe is out, " James announced as he walked to the new meeting room of the justice. It was a large room in the mansion of Jeremy.
It was the syringe dropped by Andre when he was sent to kill Jeremy in the hospital.
"What does it says?" Mary questioned.
James cleared his throat before saying anything. "It was the same poison that was used to kill Linda and probably Timothy Matthews." He explained while looking at Mary's face.
"Why would they use such on you? Have they figured out who you are?" Lisa asked in a concerned and worried tone.
"I don't think he knows who I am yet, " Jeremy said calmly and face James who bought out the test result of the poison.
"That's is all the result?" Kendra exclaimed as she took the result from James. It was only a sheet of paper and only two words were written there. "BT monoxide "
"BT monoxide?"Lara asked as she took the paper from Kendra. " what about the side effect and antidote?" She asked as she read the words on the paper out.
James bought out a small book from a brown folder and gave it to Lara. "This is all about BT monoxide. It highly toxic and its side effects include excruciating pain in the stomach, bleeding from the nose and mouth." James explained and they all listened quietly. Yomi raised his hands for questions and James nodded at him. "Yes."
"Does it have an antidote?" Yomi asked.
"This book has everything that has to do with the poison," James said and dropped the book on the table. "The side effects take a few minutes before it finally results in death and yes it has an antidote." James opened a page in the book and read a few lines out. "The antidote is not what you expect. Just like the pain hit you once you take the poison, the antidote takes it all away a few seconds after taking it."
"That's it?" Yomi questioned.
"Yeah, that's it" James replied.
"Mehn that's crazy!" Kendra exclaimed and grabbed the book from James. " Dawn Clark and Gideon Clark, " she read out the author's name. "Are they siblings?" She asked.
"No, they are couples. Both of them are scientists and they discovered BT monoxide." James explained.
"Why would the feathers have such thing with them? It not even in existence in this country yet, " Mary said.
" There is only one way to find out and I know how to," Jeremy announced.
"How?" They all asked at the same time.
"Langose prison."
"Langose prison? Why there?" Kendra asked.
"Doctor John," Jeremy said.
"The doctor who manipulate Sola's autopsy result?" Kemisola questioned and Jeremy nodded. "What does he have to do with this?" She asked.
"He was one of them and I know he knows something. He gave me a flash drive but I haven't checked what on it."
"I'm coming with you, " Yomi said.
"Same here, " Lara also said.
Jeremy nodded and pointed to Kendra, Kemisola, and Mary.
"You both need to do something for me." He said and they both nodded. " visit the circle community and see how their packing is going and also check the account created for them and report back to me. Lisa, you stay here and watch over the mansion with James." He ordered and stood up from his seat. "Yomi gets the car, we are going to Langose prison. "
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Are you sure about this?" Lara questioned Jeremy as they both walked to the front of langos prison.
"Yes, I'm sure about this. We need to know more about who the feathers are." Jeremy said to her and she nodded.
"The doctor could be dangerous so I'll stay beside you. " Yomi assured him as they walked into the building.
The receptionist attended to them and asked for their names and how they were related to Dr. John. After putting their names, they were all lead into the visiting room where Dr. John was bought in by the prison warden. Dr. John smiled when he saw Jeremy and sat opposite them.
"Hello Dr, " Jeremy greeted him and observed the man in front of him closely. The Doctor he saw a few weeks ago looks different than the one he was seeing now. Dr. John had become a shadow of himself. His face had lost all colors and his eyes were sullen and red.
"What are you here for?" Dr. John asked as he looked at the faces of all the people that had come to visit him. "I know you came for something so please let me hear them."
Jeremy cleared his throat and showed him something on his phone. It was a picture of the BT Monoxide book taken by Jeremy. "Do you recognize this?" He asked and the doctor looked surprised. "By the look on your face, I'm sure you know what that's is."
"How did you get that?" Dr. John asked as he stared at the picture. "You were not supposed to see this until the project plan is completed."
"What is this project plan all about?" Lara asked and the doctor turned to face her.
"You must be Johnson's daughter, you look so much like him. " the doctor told her.
"How do you know my father?"
"It all started twenty years ago. Have you checked the file I gave to you?" The doctor asked Jeremy.
"No, " Jeremy shook his head.
"Everything is there but I will....." Dr. John paused and coughed out blood from his mouth. He quickly wipes it with the brown prison clothe he was wearing.
"Are you alright?" Yomi asked.
"I'm not fine because I will die soon. Although I have no regrets but the only regret I have is letting my job turned into the devil I've become today. I lost my family, " he cried and coughed out blood again.
"I can still help you, " Jeremy offered.
Dr. John laugh and shook his head. " you can't help me anymore. This is a price I must pay. I'm at the late stage of cancer so all hope is lost. I just wish to see my family again before I die but I haven't seen them for years." He cried.
" We are sorry about that doctor. We can help you too if you help us. How do you know my father?" Lara asked?
"Johnson was a good detective and he didn't deserve to die that way."
"What do you mean die that's the way? My father was killed in an attack!" Lara shouted.
"That's what you were told but that's not the truth girl. Your father was murdered." Dr. John informed and Lara gasped. "You!" He pointed to Jeremy. " I didn't recognize you earlier as Abraham Akinsola's son but now I can see that you look a lot like your father."
"Get to the point will you?" Jeremy said angrily.
"Felicia Watson, Detective Johnson, and Abraham Akinsola were all trying to solve a murder case that was connected to Daniel Hamilton. They were close to the case but then, Daniel has its plans."
"You mean Daniel Hamilton was responsible for their deaths?" Yomi asked and Dr. John nodded.
"But I'm still surprised that you are alive today. Everyone knew that the Akinsola's died In a fire incident twenty years ago. How come you are alive?" Dr. John asked Jeremy.
Jeremy smiled and stood up from his seat. "The mistake Daniel Hamilton made was not investigating properly on my family because if he does, he would have found out that a little boy survived that night." Jeremy folds his arms together and walked to where Dr john was sitting. "Now tell me all I need to know about the project plan."
*******************
In Daniel's living room, Andre walked in and dropped a brown on his table.
"What is this?" Daniel asked as he saw the file on the table.
"It was sent in by someone called anonymously." Andre quickly replied.
Daniel nodded and tear the package apart. There inside the package were two pictures and a letter. The first picture was of Abraham Akinsola and the second was of Jeremy Akinsola. Daniel gasped as soon as he saw the picture.
"Did you see who dropped this picture?" He asked but Andre shook his head. Daniel picked the letter from the package and gasped again after reading the letter.
The only mistake you ever make is my existence.
Jeremy Akinsola
