Chapter 47 Cell

I hung up and rushed to my car
I drove straight to the location
I couldn t believe what I was seeing
A full company almost burnt down
The fire service were already doing their work
Camera people were doing theirs
Press were doing theirs
I couldn t control myself because I almost rushed inside but the policemen there blocked me
Tears turned into water because it kept flowing down
Lots of people were injured
To the extent that the first ambulance couldn t convey them all
Fire service were still rescuing those that still live
But lots of dead bodies were also brought out
I turned to where they kept the injured ones
Out of those people that were injured
I saw the manager and rushed to him
"Mr Sam" I called
He was seriously in pain
"What happened?" I asked
"I don t know but we will see to that, am still in pain" he replied
What I worked for so many years
It was just getting down
??????
….. Dorothy POV ??
David visited
My Uncle wasn t around
David said that he came because he doesn t want to look as if he didn t care
Or wasn t appreciating for what I did for him
"Hope you do study at home?" I asked to start up a conversation after some silent moment
"Not steady, am still thinking on how to restore my father s company" he replied
"What is the plan?" I asked
Just then, a notification bumped into his phone
"A minute" he said and focused on the phone
"What? Oh my God!" He screamed jumping up
I did also
"What is that?" I asked as my eyes directed to his phone
It was a video of a company
Burning
"COP Kelly s company" he said
Even after what he did to him, he still felt for him
"I need to go there, Benita might be there" he added
"Let s go together" I responded
Since Benita was involved, I felt bad
"What about the house?" He asked
"My Uncle have his own key" I replied
He nodded
I locked everywhere before we left
I began to think
If COP Kelly would be there, David s life might be in danger
I talked to him about it but he said that in this condition, he wouldn t think about it
We got to the location and the fire was still growing
"Oh my God!" I said covering my mouth with my hand
We were looking at the scene when doc Henry walked up to us
"Doc" David called when he saw him standing before us
"How are you David?" He asked
"Fine" David replied
"Can I have some time with you?" He asked
"Sure" David replied
"I will be back Dorothy" David added referring to me
I nodded
I began to think of it
Could it be that doc Henry has hand in the fire?
??????
….. Doc Henry POV ??
I was passing by when I saw what was happening
I decided to check it out and saw David
It was really a luck
"Were you here when the fire started?" I asked referring to David
"I just got the live update on net" he replied
"That s by the way, do you really know about Mr Luke?" I asked
"Is it about him and my Dad?" He asked
"Yes" I replied
"what are you planning on it?" I asked
"We are still looking for some proof" he replied
He said that since they don t have anything in hand, they needed to find a way
After some time with him, I left to visit my special patient again
As usual, I met him in the underground
Always happy when he sees me
"What is the update?" He asked
"The boys are trying, they are looking for a way to get him down because there is no proof about what happened" I replied
"So when are you planning to join hand?" I asked
"In two days time" he replied
??????
…… David POV ??
That evening, Jason called me to meet him at the normal restaurant
I still had to drop Faith behind
After getting down some drink, he brought out some paperwork and stretched it out
"My Dad almost caught me" he said while my eyes widened
Because it would surely cause us something
"How?" I asked
"He was the one at the door that time you called" he said
"He said that he was going to a meeting, immediately he left, I went straight to the computer room and turned off the camera"
"Just as I was searching his documents, he knocked at the door, but luckily, I locked the door, so I had to place everything in order"
"I opened his computer and this was what I first saw, although I wanted to do as if I was checking the camera" he explained
It was a form concerning cocaine dealing
How his business with it has been going
Both the shipping and other information
"Really risky, but how did you manage to get his password?" I asked
"I was able to grab that some days ago with my phone camera, as in when I visited him, so I stylishly moulted a camera there when I pretended to be walking around" he replied
That was really smart
"I have hacked his computer, so any business he does with it, I will be updated" he added
…..
….. Jason POV ??
News about COP Kelly s company were all over the net
I couldn t believe it because the fire kept burning even till almost evening
When I met with David
After showing him what I was able to get from Mr Luke
We needed to make plans on that
"Guess you saw the news?" David indirectly asked
"Yes, it was too bad" I replied
"I felt for the injured ones" I added
"What will be COP Kelly s fate now?" David asked
"I guess he is only paying for what he did" I replied
"I only pitied Benita" I added
"Oh talking about her, don t you think that it will be wise if we visit her" David suggested
"Today?" I asked
"Yes, it is not late yet, Dorothy suggested that earlier" he replied
"But do you know her house?" He asked
"Yes, she is my cousin and we normally visit them when I was a kid" I replied
I even forgot that she was no longer my cousin
"Then let s go there" David suggested
"Without Dorothy?" I asked
"We will pick her up" he replied
??????
…… Officer Dan POV ??
I was in the hotel room where I lodged in as I listened to the news of what happened at the Yellow Star Aluminum company
I couldn t believe an ordinary policeman like me owned a company like that
If not for the incident, I wouldn t have known that
I only knew the company but not the owner
As I was watching it, I was also thinking
The fire was still burning even after the effort of the fire services
It was true that aluminum foil can burn really well but there could be something else attached to it
An idea came in
"If COP Kelly could be bad as his past, then he would be capable of doing things beyond that" I thought as I nodded
"If the fire could be that serious, then there
I stood up from the bed and rushed to the bathroom
I did a quick bathing and dressed up
I dressed in my police uniform
I dare not forget my ID card
I locked the door and went downstairs
Straight to the parking spot where I parked the car I hired for some weeks I would spend in that town
I drove straight to the location and parked
It was already getting dark and the fire has lessened but COP Kelly was still there
Some people also gathered there
I walked up to them
"Officer Dan from Louvre, the neighboring town" I said showing them my ID card
"Sorry COP Kelly for the unfortunate but I will surely look into this" I added putting back my ID
"Don t worry about it, I think I will work on it" he declined but I wouldn t try giving up
"Your spirit is already weak and I need to act fast before the culprit clears up his track" I insisted
He was dumbfounded
My words made sense
"If you say so" he agreed
"Okay, I will be back" I said as l turned to look at the building
The roof was already gone
Windows and doors were halfway gone
I walked to one of the fire service
"Officer Dan" I said showing him my ID card
"Is it safe to go in now?" I asked
"Yes but you need to be careful because the floor is still hot" he replied
"Sure" I responded and turned to walk
COP Kelly was already standing there with three other men
I had to smile and we walked in together
Everywhere were just too opened
My mind was just focused on how to get to the packing store
I knew that it was the only place where any hidden things could be
"Here look like a packing store" I said when we got to a larger room where different types of aluminum were half burnt
"Maybe" COP Kelly replied
As we were walking around, my leg stepped somewhere that looks like where foam mattress was
I stood at that spot and looked around
COP Kelly s eyes seems to be there
I turned and walked outside
"Please journalist" I said
One with camera rushed to me
"There is a room that I will go now, just follow me"
"And when we get there, just take a clear picture of the room, I mean everywhere, videoing" I added while he nodded
I brought out my card
"Here is my card, and my email is attached on it, just forward the video immediately" I said
I walked back to that room and it was only COP Kelly and one other person were still there
"Any problem?" COP Kelly asked
"Not at all, he just wants to take more pictures" I replied looking around
"I think we should check upstairs" I suggested
"Okay" COP Kelly responded and walked out first
I stylishly kicked that spot where I felt the softness
"No mistake" I said before walking out
We walked from different passage to the other
We got to a room that looks more like a kitchen
"Do they cook here?" I asked referring to COP Kelly
"I don t think so" he replied
I began to walk around
Gas cookers were there
"The fire must have become worst because of here" I said
"We need to see the manager" I added
"That will be tomorrow, it is already late" he replied
????? ?
….. Benita POV ??
I didn t know why I wasn t feeling bad, regarding to what happened to my father s company
I was only feeling bad for those injured
And those who lost their lives
I was in my room watching the live news when the gateman came to inform me about those that came to see me
I wasn t expecting anyone but I had to go and check out
I went out to meet Dorothy, David and Jason sitting on the couch in the living room
I was just surprised seeing them
Their faces looks dull
But I had to cheer them up with smile
"Hey guys" I said smiling
"What are you doing here Jason?" I asked as if I was angry with him
"Don t just start, we came to see you" Jason replied
"Sorry for what happened" David supported
"Seriously, Jason" I said with doubt
"We are still cousins remember" Jason said
"But you never regards me as that" I responded
"You are getting it wrong, we too love ourselves that s what I thought" he said while I laughed
"Unbelievable" I responded
"You seems not touched?" Dorothy indirectly asked
I knew her as someone who cares a lot
"Not really but I don t have to kill myself" I replied
"It has happened" I added
"Sorry I haven t been able to see you, at least to thank you more about your help" she said
I felt special
I really had friends but I didn t know
"You don t have to be sorry, at least you thanked me that very day"
??????
….. COP Kelly POV ??
The following day, I was in my house
Too lazy to go to work
Benita didn t say anything about what happened
She only prepared my foods
That night and the following morning
I was just sitting in my room thinking of so many things when a knock on the door brought me back
I went to check it
It was Benita
"A police officer is looking for you" she said
"Which police officer?" I asked
"Officer Dan, by name" she replied
I was shocked to hear that
"Okay, am coming" I managed to say
How did he get to know where I live? I asked myself
In less than one hour later, we were in the hospital where those victims were admitted
We went to the nurses at the reception
"Mr Sam ward please" Officer Dan said
They directed us to where his ward was
We got in there
He was kept in a different room
Because were three in one room
His injury wasn t that much
Only his right hand and leg
"How are you feeling Mr Sam?" Officer Dan asked
"Better, the pain has lessen" he replied
"Hope you won t be in danger to have a long talk?" Officer Dan asked
I didn t know what his question really was but he said that he just wanted to ask how the incident started
"Doctor didn t say anything related to that" Mr Sam replied
"Okay, please do you have any idea about what really happened, any clue?" Officer Dan asked
"I am still confused" Mr Sam replied
"Do you guys do cook in that company?" Officer Dan asked
I could see that Mr Sam s eyes widened
"Yes, that kitchen is meant for our securities" he replied
"Who is in charge of cooking and taking care of that place?" He asked
"He wasn t in the company when it happened"
"Where is he?"
"I can t tell, but I saw him going out with a gas cylinder" Mr Sam replied
"So, who is announced missing after the incident, as in he wasn t found, either dead or alive?" Officer Dan asked
"There is no result about the gateman, we call him hungry gateman" Mr Sam replied
"That s it"
"He must have gone to the kitchen and maybe the one in charge of the kitchen left the gas on" Officer Dan said
He was really smart
That could be possible
??????
….. David POV ??
That day, Doc Henry called me because he collected my number the previous day because he needed to be checking out on me
When he called that morning, he asked me to see him in his office
I informed my mother before going
When I got there, I was asked to go inside without waiting as usual
I greeted him and he gestured me to sit down
"Am sure that you have known everything about Mr Luke?" He indirectly asked
I wondered if he was aware of it
"Is there anything else I need to know?" I asked
He had to say what he has in mind
"Am sure that you must have known about his position"
"So when are you planning to take it back?" He asked
"You must have known a lot" I said
"Am actually planning to sue him to court but I don t have any evidence to hold him down"; I added
"Okay then, I just want to know which level you are" he said
"What do you mean?" I asked because I was confused
"Just do one thing for me this afternoon" he said
I was still confused
"Just call Jason to your house today, exactly as 1pm, I have a support to what you guys are planning to do" he added
Mr Ken has already said that he would help us
So who could he be having?
"Why don t you give me a clue?" I asked
"It is a surprise, but believe me, you will like it" he replied
??????
……. Doc Henry POV ??
11am, I was already on my way to the hospital where my special patient was
I told doc Sammy about my arrangement on taking him
He just advised us to be careful
I knew that already
I went to the underground where he was
"It is time" he said while he nodded with a smile
??????
….. Jason POV ??
David called me around 12pm and told me about his meeting with doc Henry
He said that he couldn t understand what he was planning but I knew doc Henry as a good man
If he was able to save us and our mother, he would surely be having something that would be of our own good
Around 12:50pm, I was already in their house
My Mom has prepared my favorite food
I didn t know how she found out that
Just that minute, a car drove inside
It was sienna latest model
It has tinted windows
Unable one to see who was inside it
The driver opened the door and came down
It was doc Henry
"I think I arrived at the right time" he said walking over to the other side which was where we were
He was smiling seriously
We offered him a seat but I was busy looking for who he said that he would be coming with
"I heard that you have something for us?" I indirectly asked as I turned to face him
"Let s eat first" he said while I smiled
Mrs Paul served him as well
"This is my favorite food" I said because I had to
I needed to start up a conversation
"That was your father s favorite food" Mrs Paul responded with a smile
"I wished I had met him" I said with sad voice
"Sure, you will" doc Henry said smiling
"I heard that he is dead" I said
Maybe he wasn t aware of it
"To them but" he said and stretched out his hand with a remote control on it
He pressed one button and the back door of the sienna opened
A man with a smile was just sitting close to the door
I remembered checking out Paul s pictures
The man was there
"Oh my God! That s a ghost" Mrs Paul said with a surprise
"Dad" David called
"He is not a ghost" but the real Mr Paul" doc Henry replied
"What do you mean, he had a face surgery and I was there when he was buried, so how come he is back with his original face?" Mrs Paul said or rather asked
"When I said that you don t really know much about Mr Paul, what were you thinking?" Doc Henry asked
I was just confused
That means the man was Mr Paul
But how come?
I couldn t stop thinking
…..
#Flashback
15 years ago
Everything was still moving fine
======}{?? Mr Paul ??}{======
When my wife Florida came back from Paris
He told me everything that happened
How doc Henry was able to save her and one of the child
Even though I felt sad concerning how we lost one of them but I do appreciate the doc Henry
I waited until after 15 years later, because I was still scared if Luke might see me
Since they were the one, they would surely be around that town, just to be sure that their work was cleared
I told Florida that I would be travelling down to Paris to see doc Henry
I had met him once and I couldn t forget his face and his hospital
Florida asked me to be careful
I already knew that
I booked a flight and left the following day
I took a cab to that hospital
But on the way, I saw a restaurant and I was very hungry
I asked the cab driver to park by the side while I went in to get a food for myself
After that, we drove straight to the hospital
======}{?? COP Kelly ??}{======
Sully died four years after delivering the baby
I had to take in someone that would help me and raise the baby
After 6 years, I discharged her because I didn t want Benita to take her as her mother when she grew older
Since Benita was still small, I do get our food from my favorite restaurant
I also asked her to start going for a lesson on how to cook because I wouldn t be doing that forever
As usual, I went to that restaurant to get a food
I ordered for the one I would eat that place and another one that would go home
Just as I was almost done with the food, my eyes caught this gentleman coming inside
It was no other person but Mr Paul
I was beyond shocked
I wondered what he might have come to do
I kept cool until he walked out
I have made my payment already, so I followed him
I watched him until he entered a cab and they drove off
I rushed to my car and drove after them
I followed them until they entered inside a hospital
Doc Henry s hospital
I wondered what they were up to
I revised and drove home
I couldn t believe that I followed someone to another town
I called Mr Luke and told him about what I saw
"If he is in town, he would surely must have come back for his position and I don t know if he had gotten evidence" Mr Luke had said
"Kill him" he ordered
He was really right
I got home and gave Benita her meal before calling Mr Lee to make an instant arrangement
I drove straight to the hospital and parked outside
I went inside and confirmed that the cab driver was still there
I nodded and went out
Straight to my car
I got inside and called Mr Lee again for updates
He has already sent two of his men to the hospital
That was according to him
I nodded when I saw them
======}{??Doc Henry ??}{======
Unbelievable that Mr Paul was just present in my office
I asked my assistant to take care of everything that was going on in the hospital at that moment
"Firstly, let me thank you for what you have done for me, I was really beyond shocked when my wife told me about that"
"I wondered how they got to know her" he said
"From her file, Mrs Florida Paul" I replied
"COP Kelly and Luke were always smart, I forgot that they were brothers, it was my mother who told me, after what happened" he said
"Sorry but I don t really know what happened" I responded
He explained to me how everything started
How he helped Mr Luke and his sugar mommy but he ended up betraying both him and Mr Luke s sugar mommy
He said that he didn t see it but he believed that he was the one
"That s really wicked of him, why would he even kill her as well?" I asked
"He believed that she would leak the secret" he replied
"But I have Mr Williams who I think that knew about everything because that night before it became serious, Mr Williams called me several times but I wasn t with my phone"
"So He sent a message about having an evidence of what actually happened, he also said that he was also going to see Officer Kelly before coming"
"After some hours and we didn t see him, his line was also switched off, that was when I told my mother about his message, she said that I had made a mistake, that Officer Kelly and Luke were brothers but people hardly know about it, that Mr Williams wasn t aware as well, she knew that from their mother, because they were close then" Paul had explained
"So when are you planning to come back?" I asked
"We need to get Mr Williams first, he is the only hope" he replied
"You know that I won t be going around because of them, I will give you his address and my number, when you find him, just give me a call" he replied
"So you are going now?" I asked
"Yes, no where is safe here, since they were able to get my wife" he replied
He gave me his card and a piece of paper where Mr Williams address was written on
After some minutes when he left, COP Kelly came in
"Unbelievable, so you know Mr Paul but pretended not to" he said
"Sorry but I just met him today, he came to ask for his family" I lied
"After 15yrs?" He asked but I was dumbfounded
"Anyway, he won t be able to live again" he added and left my office
I was beyond that I had to try Mr Paul s line
