Chapter 45 Confessed her love

Tina pushed Kunle away hurriedly and ran towards Jordan, " everyone lie flat"she screamed and pushed Jordan down, lying over him when suddenly there was a loud sound; boom.
The entire place was covered in smoke and dust. It took a while before everything quieted down. Everyone was coughing hysterically but none was missing.
Eventually, when everywhere quieted down, Tina and Jordan were still together, but Tina was coughing.
" What is wrong with you Jordan? Don't you value your life or do you want to die? If you don't find any reasons to live anymore, think about us!
We don't want to lose you or watch you waste away like that. You keep taking risky decisions that would have ruined you except for narrow escape each time.
We care and want you around. I care for you Jordan and I love you seriously, I don't want to lose you or see anything happen to you. I love Jordan, I swear I do..." Tina was overwhelmed with fear and emotions that she kept talking without realising that she had talked too much.
Kunle and Isabella stood by as the other back up team ran towards them. They were surprised when they heard Tina's last few words, talking about her love for Jordan, everyone froze.
Isabella felt her heart beat faster than normal. She told Jordan openly that she loves him? What would be his reaction?
Everyone was up except them. And it's Tina that prevented Jordan from standing up. She lied on him and pinned him down with her two hands in-between.
Jordan tried standing up and almost the time the bomb blew and Tina pulled him back, lie on him and pinned him down in-between.
Hearing what Tina said, Jordan's expression changed. He looked like someone who was going to gnash at Tina and tear her in pieces.
Love him? How dare she talk about love with him? Does he look like he was looking for love? What nonsense, she thinks because she had heard the story about Rachel's death, his heart was vacant and looking for an occupant?
"You are lying on me please," Jordan retorted. He seemed to be angry already. He just needed her to raise herself from him so he could get up.
"Oh..yeah.." Tina stammered and carefully stood up. She saw eyes on her and quickly, Kunle went to give Jordan a helping hand, one of his arms was wounded and still bleeding.
Tina went to support and Jordan pushed her off angrily. Everyone knew she had said what she shouldn't have said, she should have kept her feelings private in her heart.
Kunle glanced at Tina and winked at her not to be upset with Jordan's behaviour. But the latter stood quietly and said nothing.
" He's blown himself up right?" Jordan asked, looking at the direction where the rascal laid before bringing out a mini bomb from his pocket.
"Yes, only his flesh and a few bones are left" Kunle replied and looked in the same direction as well.
Jordan tried raising his hand but felt pained. Seeing his condition, Tina asked if they should go to the hospital first before making a report.
"Who asked for your opinion Tina?" Jordan snapped at her. He was rude and careless with his words to her.
Tina sighed and subconsciously glanced at Isabella. The latter tapped her chest signalling to her to be calm.
"What about the other gang members?" Jordan asked, looking at the direction of the back up team.
" They all have been apprehended and handcuffed. We came to check if you are ok?" The senior detective among the back up team answered.
Jordan asked if they had confessed the whereabouts of his car? They said they already retrieved the car and one of their men was taking the car back to the force headquarters.
Jordan nodded and walked ahead while the others followed. He walked a few more minutes until they arrived at the place where they parked the car.
He was feeling pain but slipped into the car and Kunle took the steering, Isabella sat in the copilot seat while Tina was at the passengers' seat with Jordan, exactly the way they had come:

"... Why is this fellow not answering his phone?" Chief Dare Wilson muttered. He has been calling for a while now and he is not responding.
Now the system is saying the number is switched off. He needs to talk to him now more than ever before.
He stamped his feet on the floor for the upteenth time in confusion until his wife Kate Wilson came before him.
"Are you alright honey?" She asked. He looked worried about something. She stood before him for a few seconds and he didn't know she was standing.
They were heading to the force headquarters. They are going to make an official demand that the case of their daughters murder be handed over to a more competent hand.
They've been waiting and it's been days and still no news of her murderer. They heard the one who killed her was already caught but the head of the team Jordan or whatever his name was wasn't ready to prosecute him.
" I am fine darling" Dare Wilson responded, his wife's question bringing him back from his thoughts.
He smiled at her. He likes it that she looks cheerful that day. Perhaps the thoughts of going to change the detective in charge of their daughter's murder case made her glad.
Kate Wilson smiled faintly. She hadn't found reason to smile for a while now, after the death of Kitty.
" I love the way you look now my dear, please cheer up and let's watch everything become fine again" Dare Wilson encouraged her, pulling her into his embrace.
She looked emaciated. Of course she would when she couldn't eat and sleep as properly except with the help of drugs.
" Thank you honey. Kitty will get justice, even if that's the last thing we do for her" Kate Wilson declared, her eyes welling up in tears.
Dare Wilson nodded and said she was absolutely right. And the steps they were about to take were going in the direction of her getting the justice that she deserved.
The couple set out and headed to the force headquarters. The chauffeur was driving while Dare pulled his wife into his embrace as they headed towards their destination.

Jordan was given anaesthesia and his arm was bandaged, he was also given some drugs and prescription.
The doctor said he should rest for some time to get better quickly. He looked towards Tina, she also had a fractured arm but it appeared hers had suddenly disappeared after a day or so.
Tina was looking absolutely well as if she wasn't experiencing any more pain. But indeed she was feeling pain.
At the time of action, it appeared the pains all vanished away and her arm was totally healed. But now that all that is over , she feels terrible inside.
The adrenaline rush that made her forget her pains and fractured arm had died down and now, the height of pain is unexplainable.
" Thank you doctor. I will take my time to rest" Jordan appreciated and stood up. It was quite good. The bleeding stopped and the injury was covered to avoid infection.
The most important thing now is apprehending that killer, the pretentious bastard who hides under the canopy of love.
He signalled for his men to come along. Before the news of the bomb explosion, he wants to arrest the fellow or be almost at the place of the arrest.
They got into the car and drove towards the force headquarters to get a warrant. This time is usually the best time in the work of a detective.
After much work and hardship, narrowly escaping death and coming out with injuries, one is able to apprehend the criminal.
As they approached the office, Jordan received a call from the commissioner...

"...calm down Chief and madam, I have called him, he will be here soon to handover the case to someone else and tell us why he thinks the suspect in his custody was not the criminal.."the commissioner informed.
Felix Freeman grunted inwardly. How can these couples be in a haste to have the answers that they seek?
Police work is not a world of magical happenings. They needed to investigate, examine and merge the investigation report together before declaring someone a suspect.
But if the parents of the deceased wanted him to change the team handling the case, he would do so and make them sign to it.
But all the same, he would wait and hear Jordan out when he comes. He is one of the best if not the best detective under him, and seeing someone was discrediting him before his face, doesn't go down well with him.
"Ok, commissioner" Dare Wilson answered, feeling worried more. How come, how did Jordan answer his phone? Something has gone wrong!
