Chapter 46 Dare's request.

Dare's request.
" The commissioner has summoned us, we go see him briefly before getting the warrant to arrest the suspect," Jordan informed them.
They all said ok. Kunle drove into the force headquarters and alighted as everyone else also did.
He doesn't know why the commissioner wants to see them, at this final point of getting the suspect apprehended.
But he must obey the last command and go see him. He went forward and the others followed as they pushed open the door to the commissioner's office.
When Jordan saw Kitty's parents, he couldn't help the smile that appeared on his thin lips. He looked at the couple and chuckled silently.
He made a salutation despite his wounds and stood before the commissioner. He said hello to Kitty's parents as well.
The other three detectives filed after Jordan. Dare Wilson couldn't help but shuddered at the sight of Jordan and Tina.
He didn't know about Kunle and Isabella as part of the group. He had only met The other two detectives.
He shivered and looked down, he couldn't raise his head. A million thoughts raced through his mind within a second.
How come these two detectives are still alive? Shouldn't they be dead already? What happened to those he hired to have them off the surface of this planet?
No wonder he has been calling the leader of the gang and he wasn't answering and now, his line was switched off.
Had he been arrested? Ah why is he feeling as if he was going to be put to Shame that day? They must not be arrested, perhaps they escape, that would be better.
But from the bandaged arm of Jordan, he knew there had been a confrontation. He had given them simple instructions, and blew him up with his car.
All they needed to do was just plant a bomb in his car and disappeared. When he gets into the car and starts the ignition,he will be finished.
But it appeared they did something else. The hardest thing was to have stolen his car which they did successfully.
How can they miss out on the mission at its final stage? As soon as he gets out of there, he would...
Dare Wilson was lost in his thoughts that he didn't hear the commissioner talking to him and asking him questions and repeating the question twice.
His wife tucked him "darling, are you here?" Kate asked, squinting her eyes. What is wrong with her husband? He seemed to be lost in his thoughts deeply for the second time that day.
He's been behaving weird since they woke up that morning. She had eavesdropped on his conversation and suspected that he is doing some shady business.
" Yeah.. yeah.. exactly.." Dare Wilson stuttered. Everyone exchanged looks. The detectives exchanged glances at each other and smirked.
Game up, they thought in their minds. The bastard was surprised that they were alive perhaps.
The commissioner sighed and pouted his lips. Exactly what? What did he ask and what answer did he give?
He asked him to go ahead and repeat what he said earlier before Jordan arrived and why he thinks he wants to pervert justice.
He answered and said yeah exactly. Anyways, he was just coming out of his thoughts.
" Ok then, go ahead" Felix Freeman instructed. Dare Wilson swallowed a lump of saliva. Go ahead with what?
His wife tucked at him that he should continue but the latter brought out a handkerchief from his pocket and cleaned his sweaty face.
Felix Freeman squinted further. Something is wrong here. Someone sweating in his office under the high conditioner?
Why was he suddenly sweating now? He wasn't sweating before, not even when he walked in. A man coming from an air-conditioned car into an air conditioned office is sweating this way?
" Are you alright Chief Wilson? Felix Freeman asked, surprised at his sudden Change in breathing and looks.
" I am fine commissioner. The death of my daughter has taken a part of me away. Sometimes I feel as if she isn't dead but travelled on a business trip or on vacation.
That someday, she would return to me soon. It's unfortunate that I will not be getting to see her again. Well, that is a bygone. Could you please ask your question again?" Dare Wilson spoke in a pathetic way.
He took his handkerchief and cleaned a lone tear off his eyes, and his wife sniffled. He held her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.
Felix Freeman nodded. He knew what he said was not the reason for his sudden Change in looks but he would accept what he said like that.
" I really feel sorry about the death of your daughter. That is why the police as a body had left no stone unturned to fetch out the perpetrators of such evil.
What I said earlier was that detective Jordan is the head of the unit handling the investigation. Now that you want them removed and replaced, tell us why you made that demand.
And also you said your daughter's killer was found but Jordan has been stalling for time. Tell us how you know that and what made you convinced about it?" Felix Freeman asked.
Dare Wilson nodded. He can't possibly say he had an insider feeding him with information. And now that the men are here, he doesn't know what to say.
Once he had offered them a large sum of money but they refused, he had tagged it as his way of encouraging them, but he wouldn't take it.
He thought Jordan would have been dead when he arrived and hence hadn't rehearsed such questions in his head.
What will he say now? The bastard was still alive and staring at him with his protruding eyes as if he was scrutinising him and reading his thoughts.
"First, I must say thank you for your help in helping me find my daughter's killers. I know the police care and it's true that they are our friends.
I really want to appreciate your hard work so far and I know with you here, everything is going to be alright.
I am glad and my heart is at rest now. Seeing how these men and ladies have taken this case upon themselves and have put their necks to it, risking their lives for my sake. I say thank you...." Dare Wilson was appreciating them.
His wife turned and glared at him with confusion. What is her husband doing? Thanking and appreciating the same detectives he said they were unserious minded people?
He had even said a while ago before the detectives arrived to the commissioner that the case of his daughter's Killers was being handled with levity.
He wants them immediately removed and replaced with hardworking and sincere ones. And now that he is supposed to voice out his reasons, he was making an appreciation speech.
It was his idea to come here and now he is behaving like a child that hadn't taken his medicine. Was he afraid of something?
She tucked him and was surprised when her husband said " darling, haven't we come here to thank the detectives for their hard work so far?" He asked, smiling at her.
Kate Wilson was speechless.
Felix Freeman was dazed. This wasn't what this man came before him to say earlier. He had called Jordan and the entire team to come over because of his complaints about them.
Now, he was stuttering and was full of appreciation. Thanking them over and over again. This fellow is sick and needs the services of a doctor.
Or better still, he forgot to take his medicines before coming over. He appeared to be afraid of something.
He called his men from duty post to receive just appreciation? Appreciation that will take them nowhere? This is ridiculous?
"Ehhh.. chief Dare Wilson, did you just come to say words of appreciation or there's something you are afraid of?" Felix Freeman asked.
" Me, no. I came to say thank you to the hardworking men. That's all, nothing else. Besides, what should I be afraid of?
Everyone knows I am an honourable man and live a decent life. Why should I be afraid of anything?
Come off it commissioner. And that's all, my wife and I will be leaving now and hope that the investigation will be concluded soon" Dare Wilson declared and stood up.
Felix Freeman raised his hand and demanded that he shouldn't go yet " excuse me Dare Wilson. We are officers, you can't just walk into my office as the commissioner and play jokes!
Did you make some complaints about my detectives and request that the case be handed over to another set of detectives?" The commissioner asked,his eyes full of grievance.
