*****Back to the mechanic’s house*****
.
“Something is not right here, the news is everywhere that late Mr Jude’s first son, Andrew has been kidnapped. Are you sure Raphael don’t have a hand in this to get back at Mrs Victoria for what she did to him? I remembered someone called him on the phone and said it is done, he has done it. I heard it loud and clear. No, I need to go and ask Raphael, he must tell me the truth of what he’s hiding“ The mechanic thought to himself and then stood up and went to Raphael’s room.
On getting there, Raphael was sleeping, so he woke him up
“Please Raphael sit up, we need to talk“ he said and Raphael sat up
“Brother Ayo, what is the matter, I hope there is no problem?“ Raphael asked, wondering what Ayo wants to say
“There will be problem if you don’t tell me the truth, are you aware that Andrew have been kidnapped? The mechanic asked with a serious face
“Yes i’m aware, the news is all over the town? Raphael responded
“Good, now tell me what I need to know? Ayo said and Raphael was confused by his statement
“I don’t understand what you mean by that“ Raphael said confusedly
“Raphael! Look me in the eyes and tell me the truth, you know that I’m like an elder brother to you so don’t lie to me. Do you have a hand in Andrew’s kidnap? Ayo asked again
“OMG! Why will you think like that, I don’t have a hand in his kidnap, why will I do that? Raphael asked confusedly
“You did it to get back at Mrs Victoria for what she did to you, how could you? Even though you want to get back at her, must you kidnap their son Andrew?“ Ayo reiterated and Raphael was confused the more
“Believe me, I don’t have a hand in Andrew’s kidnap, even if I wanted to kidnap any of her children to get back at her, I would have gone for Charles because he’s her favorite child, but I’m innocent of all this thing you are saying, and besides, Andrew is like a brother to me, I wouldn’t dream of doing such thing to him“ Raphael insisted.
“You said you don’t have a hand in Andrew’s kidnap, so who was the person that called you on phone and told you that it is done, he has done it, you think I did not hear it? Now tell me what I need to know“ Ayo said and Raphael was speechless
“You are quiet, you don’t want to talk, which means you have a hand in Andr………..
“I don’t have a hand in his kidnap. Ok fine, the person that called me that day was a new friend of mine just like I told you, and what he meant that it is done, he has done it was that I transferred some money into his account to send to my father in the village. Remember I told you that I don’t want anybody to know that I’m still alive until the right time I will let them know. Had it been I used my account to transfer the money to my father, he will know that I’m still alive. In order to avoid that, I transferred the money into my friend’s account so that he can send it to my father, since he’s into POS business. That was what he meant by it is done, which means the transaction was successful, he has done it means that he has sent the money“ Raphael explained and the mechanic sighed
“You should have tell me all this while so that I can understand. Anyway I’m really sorry for judging you wrong“ Ayo apologized.
“It’s okay, I understand, I would also think the same thing if I were the one. Anyway I would like to give Mrs Victoria a surprise visit tomorrow, and I will be going there with some policemen, I can’t continue hiding myself anymore, it’s high time she pay for what she did to me, I need to be a free man“ Raphael said

*****The next day in Jude’s house*****
.
Charles was pacing and boiling in anger, his mother Victoria was there calming him down.
“Calm down son, I’m equally not happy for what Thunder did“ Victoria said
“Mom don’t tell me to calm down, it’s been 2days now and Thunder hasn’t send the money into my account, we are talking of 45 million and you are telling me to calm down? No way mom“ Charles said angrily.
“But I’m still confused, it’s unlike Thunder, he hasn’t behaved this way, I think something is wrong somewhere“ Victoria elucidated
“There is nothing wrong mom, Thunder has taken the money with his gang, he think he’s wise but he don’t know who he’s dealing with, I promise that he and his gangs will pay with their lives for this, they think they can eat my money and go scot free“ Charles said angrily.
Just then, Bella and Felix came to the sitting room and was surprised to see their brother Charles in that mood
“Mom! What is wrong with Charles? Bella asked but her mother didn’t reply her
“Charles what is the problem? Bella asked her brother who was still pacing around
“Why can’t you mind your business and leave me alone“ Charles yelled at her.
“Please bro, tell us what the prob………
“Don’t bro me, I said you people should leave me alone“ He also yelled at Felix
“But mom………..
“Don’t mom me, the two of you should g………“
Victoria has not finished her statement when the door opened. When they turned around to know who opened the door, to their surprise it was Raphael with some policemen
“No… no…. you are dead, you are dead“ Victoria screamed
“Raphael! I thought you are dead“ Bella said surprisedly but somehow, she was scared because she thought he was a ghost
“No baby I’m alive, I’m here for you, please come to me, I really missed you“ Raphael said opening his arms
“Bella don’t go close to him, he’s a ghost“ Charles said, shocked on seeing him.
“I am not a ghost, I’m alive, your mother sent people to kill me“ Raphael said
“What!! How? Is it true mom? Felix asked surprisedly
“Don’t mind this boy, he’s lying against me, I don’t know what he’s talking about“ Victoria denied
“Mom! Is it true what Raphael is saying? Bella also asked
“How can you be asking mom such question? For crying out loud, she doesn’t know anything this boy is talking about, he’s lying against her“ Charles also denied, backing her mother up
“Bella believe me, I know what I’m talking about, your mother sent people to kill me. Ayo here was the one that saved my life“ Raphael said, pointing at the door and Ayo came in
“I don’t know who to believe, please is it true what Raphael is saying? Bella asked and Ayo nodded his head in agreement
“How could you mom, why will you send people to kill him? You are very wicked“ Felix said sadly
“Please my children, I don’t know what this boy is talking about, he’s lying against me“ Victoria continues to deny.
“Officers! She is the woman I told you about who tried to kill me, please arrest her“ Raphael said to the policemen who have been standing there.
The policemen went and arrested Victoria
“You don’t have to arrest only her, also arrest Charles as well“ Another voice said behind them and they all turned to know who was that but to their greatest shock it was………….
