Chapter 49 Punk

…..Mr Luke POV ??
I couldn t stop thinking about how everything was just turning around to another thing
That day seems not going anymore
Ever since I received the information from Jason
I was just walking around the compound when Jason drove in
He greeted and meant to walk in but I stopped him
"Jason" I called and he stopped
"Do you have any information?" He asked instead
"What are you talking about?"
"As in, have you forgotten that am your father?" I asked while he smiled
"My father can never be selfish"
"He supposed to understand my feeling and others" he said
I couldn t believe what I was hearing
"Where did you even get such information?" I asked because I was sure that we cleared every single evidence
"You can t hide things forever" he replied with a smile
"So will you be happy to see your father in shame?" I asked
To know the kind of heart my son has
"Of course not" he replied
I felt somehow happy
"So why are you doing all this things?" I asked
"I don t like something illegal things" he replied
"Illegal? I think my enemies has been crossing paths with you" I said nodding
"Do you have anything to say, maybe that can convince me?" He asked smiling
"Just don t believe them" I said
"Sure, I will but don t forget to report before weekend" he said
"I don t want to get harassed as well" he added and walked inside the house
I couldn t think straight anymore

….. David POV ??
The following day, doc Henry called me
I had to go with Jason
He gave us some pictures
"This is what Officer Dan got from the burn company of COP Kelly" he said
"This looks like a cocaine" Jason said
I wasn t surprised because Jason has been a bad guy right from time
"That s exactly what Officer Dan said" doc Henry replied
"We got only against Mr Luke but this COP Kelly has gotten involved" he added
I was just busy checking out the pictures because it was my first time seeing cocaine
"Unbelievable that law protectors are now spoiling it" I said
"Just do as usual because we don t have time" doc Henry responded
"Jason" I called
"Sure, let s hit it" he responded and we stood up
We thanked doc Henry before walking out
??????
….. Benita POV ??
I was in my room entertaining myself with some movies
My Dad refused to go out because he was still down with lots of things
He lost his company and also his brother was sue to court
I went downstairs to for what we would prepare for lunch
The car that drove into our compound got my attention
I was almost close to the kitchen but I needed to go and see who they were
Before I could get to the entrance door, they were already inside
David, Jason and one gentleman on his suit
"Benita" Jason called
"Welcome, please come inside and sit" I said as I shifted a little
They did
"Please is your father inside" the gentleman asked
"Oh yes" I replied still confused about their visitation
"Can you call him for us?" He asked
"Sure" I replied and went upstairs
Straight to my father s room
I knocked on his door and he opened the door after some seconds
"You have visitors" I said
"Who are they?" He asked
"I only know David and Jason, my classmates" I replied
"You said Jason?" He asked
"Yes" I replied
He thought for a while and nodded
"Am coming" he said before I went downstairs
After some minutes, he walked out
By then, I was already sitting in a different couch
He was shocked when he gets out
I guessed, it was because of the man
"Welcome" he said pretending to be alright as he sat opposite us
"What can I offer you guys?" He asked
"Sorry, we aren t here for it but for an important message" the gentleman said
"What could that be?" My Dad asked
The man gave him a big envelope
"What s this?" My Dad asked
"You can read it to know" the man replied
My Dad opened the envelope with a little confidence
He was shocked when he saw the content
"Court call?" He asked
I was also surprised to hear that
I already knew that my Dad wasn t that good
Even to me but that court call was really surprising
"Why?" He asked
"Sorry but the court have the answer and you need to report before this weekend"the man said
"Officer Dan" my Dad called
That was when I knew him
Officer Dan
"We are done with today s meeting, we will be on our way" Officer Dan said as he stood up
Jason and David the same
My Dad was just left with thoughts
I wondered what his crime was
"Am sorry Benita" David said
Likewise Jason
I just waved at them
??????
….. Jenny POV ??
We were in the middle of nowhere as we watched what was going on with the people I left
I wished I wasn t wicked
I wouldn t had ended up there
We were watching as Jason, David and Officer Dan as they walked out of COP Kelly s house
"This is our only chance" the queen mother said
"If they successfully report to the court and they were judged, we won t be able to go back to earth" she added
She was actually behind the burning of COP Kelly s company
But she has to use something common to make it look real
It was just something that she could just do on her own but she has to use someone
She said that we could only see them but we won t be able to go to them
"So how can we stop them?" I asked
"We will just hope" she replied
??????
"
….. COP Kelly POV ??
I never knew Officer Dan would go far
I suspected his movement that very day at the company
But I never knew he was really against me
I wondered how he got to be in Elysee
Someone must have invited him
But who could that be
I just watched them as they walked out
Benita didn t say anything to me
She just walked upstairs
I took the envelope straight to my room
I called Mr Luke immediately
"I have my own envelope" I said
"Ah why?" He asked
"One Officer Dan, I think he saw those cocaine after when the company was burnt" I replied
"You said Officer Dan?"
"Yes, do you know him?" I asked because his question sounds suspicious
"Not really" he replied
"So what are we going to do now?" He asked
" Am still thinking, maybe we should report" I suggested
"No no, it will ruin us" he said
"Don t worry, I will visit you tomorrow" I said and hung up
Just then, a call came in
It was unknown number
"Hello" I said after picking up
"Is this COP Kelly, owner of Yellow Star Aluminum company in Louvre?" He asked as my mind skipped
That was the biggest among the two companies I had
One was already gone
"Sorry but a patient that survived the burning of your company here asked us to call this number because we need to see you" he said
"What!!!!?" I shouted jumping up from the place I sat
"My company, burnt????!!!!!" I asked
I felt like dying
…..
….. Dorothy POV ??
Just as David left with Jason, I began to feel bored again
If not for being responsible, I supposed to have been outside
Chilling with my friends
I went to my room and lays down
I took my book but I couldn t read
I dropped it and rolled over on the bed
I just wished they were living close
I thought I should resume school then
It wasn t far from the exam tho
I began to think how my life has been
Boredom was really something else
I suddenly began to think about my own life
The day I was brought to life
With lots of miracles that happened that day
In my three months, I was already behaving strange
Looking at a direction where no one was
Sometimes, I do talk with them
With a serious look
They thought it was just because I was a child
It might be common
But at the age of 3, I saw one in the living room
As in he just appeared and was asking me to help him
I asked him how
Just as I asked him dat, my Mom who was just coming in
She asked me who I was talking with
I started pointing at him but she said that no one was there
They thought I was mad that they took me to the hospital
After checking me out, the doctor said that I was normal
That very day, my Uncle visited us
He discovered that I had the gift of seeing ghosts
He announced it to everyone
They were just wondering
The following year, he took me with him because he also has the gift
I was still in thought when my Uncle knocked at the door and I went to open it
He dressed as if he was travelling
"What s going on?" I asked looking at his outfit
"I want to visit your parents" he replied
"You should have told me earlier so that I could get prepared" I said
"Am not planning to take you along" he responded
"Why?" I asked
"David needs someone that he will see when he comes here" he replied
I just did my face somehow
"Just tell him not to withdraw that case because I know very well that COP Kelly will try everything possible to stop him"
"But tell him not to give in" he added
"So when will you be back?" I asked
I really want to know
"I might come back before weekend because the journey isn t dat far, I might get there by tomorrow"
"And we needed to talk, then before I would come back" he replied
"In case if David ask you where I went to, just tell him that I was going to get the solid evidence" he added
"Sure, I will but I will miss you" I said
"It is not like am leaving forever, just calm down" he replied while I smiled
That means I would be lonely until he comes back
I was talking about how lonely I was
He was trying to add another one
??????
….. Victor POV ??
Just look as if I was out of the story
No, here I am ?
After when I explained to them everything, Sonia and her mother was the first to leave the country
My parents wanted me to stay back but I insisted that I should travel to Switzerland because of my exam
After some days, they later that I could travel
I visited David and Jason then at David s house
It looks like they have been very busy those days because they were making plans when I got there
I informed them about my journey
They wished me well before I left that day
So now, I was already in Switzerland
I visited the company
They welcomed me really well
They were happy to see me again
Later in the day, I went to Sonia s house
I horned and the gateman opened the gate
I saw Sonia mother s car at the parking spot but I had to hold myself well
I parked and went inside
The sitting room was empty
I just kept calm, finding my voice
"Who is here?" I asked
The first person I saw was Sonia
Out of joy, she rushed to hug me
I had to receive it
"I thought you might not come back again" she said
"Not when I was missing you" I replied
"I had to try everything possible to come here" I added
"Am too happy today" she said
"Is your mother around? I saw her car outside?" I asked
"Oh yeah" she replied
Just as that word come out from her mouth, her mother shown up from the upstairs
"Victor" she called after I greeted her
She was seriously smiling as she walked to the sitting room
"Sonia you didn t try, you didn t even ask him to sit down" she said
"Over happiness" Sonia responded while I smiled
Her mother gestured me to sit
"Sonia, get him something to drink and eat" Sonia s mother said
Sonia stood up and rushed inside
"So how are your parents?"
"They are good, thanks for asking"I replied
"From now henceforth, you are free to visit us, anytime" she said
"I didn t know that she was your mother, we were very close during our life then" she added
It was really good
I didn t plan to ask her how they got separated
Sonia came out with what she went to get and positioned them before me
We looked at each other and smiled
"What about Fred, is he not around?" I asked
"Oh, he has gone back to his town, for school" Sonia replied
??????
…. Mr Luke POV ??
I began to think about what COP Kelly said
I couldn t tell what his plans was really
He only asked me to report to the court
Maybe after that, he would then tell me his plan
That morning, I sat down before the house as I waited for COP Kelly because he said that he would visit
I didn t know what Jason has in mind that he still came back to the house to sleep for that night
Just as I thought about him, he walked out from the house
With a going out outfit
"Where to?" I asked
"I just want to see someone" he replied
"Can we have a few minutes together?" I asked
"Sure" he replied and sat down on a seat I kept for COP Kelly
"Remember that I was going to visit someone" he said
I understand that he meant
I should be fast
"Have I ever wronged you?" I asked him
"You started behaving strange after pranking me about not being your real father" I added
"Anyway, Yes, but indirectly" I replied
I didn t want to think any other things apart from what we were discussing
"How? " I asked
"My friends, and relatives, remember you never thought me of good things" he replied
It was true that I didn t time for him
I thought that money would be able to solve everything for him
"I will make it up to you, just help your Dad because am sure that it was your signature" I said regarding to the letter he brought
"It is too late to amend the past, if you can see, it contains two cases, drug trafficking and possession of unrightful position" he replied
I wondered how he got to know that my position wasn t actually mine
"Am out of time, see you in the evening" he said and stood up immediately
I didn t know what to think about
Everything was just turning upside down
Just as he drove off, I called COP Kelly
His voice wasn t clear but he said that he was almost close
Few minutes later, he drove in and parked
"Worst kept happening" he said walking closer to where I was
He sat just at that same position Jason was
"Did something happen?" I asked
He told me how he got a call from Louvre
Saying that his other company was burnt
That shows that someone was after us
??????
….. COP Kelly POV ??
We just needed to plan and act fast
There was only one way to stop what was about to happen
"We need to go now" I said standing up
"Are you serious, how can we just do that?" Mr Luke asked
"I have a plan but that will be after reporting" I replied
"You know, court aren t easy area, they might act more than we can think" I added
"I was told before weekend" he said
"Yes and today is already Thursday, they will really do beyond our expectations because they have given us the chance" I replied
"So, do you think we can still come out from this afternoon reporting?" He asked
"I know that you are already becoming weak but that same person who sue us to court, will be the one to withdraw it" I replied
"Trust me" I added
"If you say so" he responded and stood up
"The car" he shouted at his driver
He already knows what he meant
I went to wait for him in my own car while he went inside
He later came out with the envelope
"Why don t we take mine?" He requested
"No, I think it will be wise to drive on our separate cars because from there, I will be going somewhere else" I replied
He shrugged and entered
I did the same and drove out first
And they followed from behind
We got to location and did the supposed
When we were done,
They told us to wait for the court call
We walked outside
"I will be going then" I said
"You seems not worried even after loosing two companies which are the only ones you have" he said while I managed to smile
"We have a greater problem ahead, so I don t have to think about that part for now" I replied
"I am only trying to be a man" I added
"I trust you right from time when we were small" he said and I smiled again
"I assure you that we will escape this" I said while he nodded
"David must be the brain" I added before leaving
I got to my car and drove off
I had called the line that called me about the company
I told him not to call me again because everything was already useless
??????
….Mr Lee POV ??
In my domain
I was on top of the roof where enough breeze would cool off your mind as I took down my cigarettes when one of my men told me that someone was looking for me
I was told that it was COP Kelly
I smiled because I knew that something must have happened
I asked them to bring him up
"COP Kelly" I called when he gets to the top
I gestured him to sit down
I offered him a cigarette but he rejected it
"Am here for very important business that needs to be carried out before weekend" he said
"Tomorrow is already Friday" I replied
"I know, just do it today or tomorrow" he said
"But I am yet to know the mission" I indirectly asked
The following day, I drove straight to Mrs Paul s company
I wore my nose mask because I don t want when it gets to action, I will be struggling for it
I asked for her office and I was directed
I got inside after when she ordered me in
She was surprised when she saw me
"You" she said smiling
"Yes, long time" I replied
"Your friend is….." She wanted to say something but I guess that she hides it
"What?" I asked
"Nothing, don t worry" she said
"Okay, there is something that Mr Paul told me to show you" I lied
"When?" She asked
"When we last met before I travelled and come back, only to hear that bad news" I replied faking a sad face
"So where is it and what is it all about?" I asked
"His said that it was a secret, he only shows me the place but I haven t checked, to know what it could be" I lied
"Must it be now?" She asked
"I want to travel by tomorrow, it is not even far, just close to this company, as in it is related to this company stuff" I lied
I could tell that she believed that
"He said that he was just scared, so he kept it there" I added
"This thing that he didn t tell me, even up till now" she said
My mind ran to a distance
"What?" I asked because it looks like he was still alive
"Nothing" she replied
"Okay, let me call my driver to prepare the vehicle" she added
"Oh, we won t keep long, so we can just manage my car" I suggested
"Okay, let me round up" she said and did two or three things before she exhaled
"Am done" she said
I nodded
She took some files as we walked out of the office
She dropped those files to her secretary
"Tina company will come for it" she said to the secretary before we walked out
We walked straight to my car and I unlocked it
In order not to make it look suspicious, I let her open her own side of the door while I did mine
We got in and I drove off
"I don t even know how I got to trust people easily" she said on our way
"That s life" I replied
Still on my nose mask, I locked the whole doors
While I increased the speed
"What are you doing?" she asked in confusion
I ignored her and turned on a teargas
??????
….. David POV ??
I was with Jason and my Dad in the balcony taking about how our next target would be
Jason told us that the lawyer said that he would rush everything, so that they won t have any chance to bribe anyone
Or escape it
"You guys shouldn t underestimate COP Kelly" Faith added her own idea
I had to believe her because she has seen lots of things then
"The family lawyer is just like doc Henry, he won t betray us" my Dad said
Just then, my phone began to ring
It was unknown number
I picked it and the next thing I heard was a deep voice
"David" he called myself
"Please who is on the line?" I asked
"You will like to hear this" the man said
I could tell that he gave the phone to someone because he asked the person to talk
But the person didn t
He gave the person a slap that the person turned out to be a female voice
"David" she cried
I recognized it immediately
"Mom!!!" I shouted jumping up from where I was sitting
My Dad and Jason did the same
Even Faith
I placed it on the loud speaker
"Mom" I called again
"I have only one thing for you to do" the man said
"Withdraw that case of Mr Luke and Officer Kelly" he said
…..
….. Jason POV ??
Just as I heard what the man said, I already knew that it was COP Kelly s handwork
The man hung up immediately after giving his warning
I couldn t think straight because all my mind was just wondering what my real mother would be going through
In the hand of the kidnapper
"Are you guys going to get moved?" Our Dad asked and we turned to look at him
"Are you trying to say that it might be a fake?" David asked
"I don t think they can just kidnap her like that, what about her driver?" He asked
"Let s try her line first" David said operating his phone
He dialed her number and places on the loud speaker
Unfortunately, her line was switched off
He called her driver but he wasn t picking up
"Can I have your phone?" Our Dad asked, referring to David
He stretched it out to him
"Interesting" he said
"You didn t think of changing your number" he added
His smile was bitter
"What are you talking about?" David asked
I was also confused
"It is Mr Lee, Mr Luke s favorite and deadly killer" our Dad replied
"What are we going to do now?" I asked
"I guess, you guys didn t receive all from me" he said instead
"Do you have system, David?" He asked
"Yes* David replied
"I need it, to track down this number s location" he said
David rushed inside and we followed him
But we stopped in the sitting room
He later came out with his laptop
Our Dad started checking out something in it
He first of all downloaded the tracking app and everything needed for it
He tried what so ever he knew
"Unfortunately, it didn t work, I guess he switched it off" he said
"Let s wait till evening, it might not be her" he added
"I recognized her voice" David said
"Let s just wait, I will have to keep this laptop with me" our Dad said and took the laptop with him
My heart was burning inside
I was only thinking about what I would tell Mr Luke
We went outside when we heard sound of a car driving inside the compound
It was her car
The driver rushed out from it
Straight to where we were standing
"Is ma am home?" He asked
That was when it was clear that she was really kidnapped
"No, that s why I was calling you"
"Why didn t you pick up?" David asked
I was only thinking about my next step
"I was scared, so I had to come home directly" the driver replied
