CRAZY SIDE CHICK
Chapter 18
“Help you how?” Mubita asked attentively.
Daniel gazed around and said out all he had plotted and they all listened attentively.To Mubita he gave assignments or a mission,and to the two assassins,what to tell both the police and the court.
“Once you all stick to this without fail,you all will be paid handsomely as soon as I get out of here,” Daniel concluded.
Mubita thought a moment and asked,” how much are we talking about here?”
“You name it,” Daniel pledged.
“This will cost you your house,” Mubita said.
“I own three big houses,I will give you directions to go and check on them to help you choose which one you like,” said Daniel.
“But,” said Mubita,” I will keep the girl alive until you come out of here and officially handle over the selected house to me.”
“Deal,” said Daniel.”But be very careful,she must not escape.”
“Deal,” said Mubita.

Majory had now heard the news about the killing of the doctor who had been treating her when she was in comma and of the detective who’d been investigating her case.And also about the detention of her husband,Mwewa as the suspect of the murders.
She perplexedly stood in a balcony of her father’s house with a coffee mug in both her hands,putting her mind to task so she could figure out what had been going on since the day Daniel took her to his house for a nap.Everything just seemed as a dream to her.A nightmare.How in the world did all this happen around me just after Daniel showed that video of my cheating husband? She recalled and asked herself.
Mr Binwell Tembo walked slowly into the balcony, behind her,” good evening darling.”
She cut her thoughts and looked behind and found her father.”Hey Dad, welcome back.How’s work?”
“Oh dear…Mwewa and Daniel’s absence at the company has incoviniently affected work,” replied Mr Binwell Tembo.
“Even Daniel was absent today?” Majory did not hear about Daniel’s detention until now.Her father just told her.
“I know Daniel has the biggest hand in these crimes.Why did they arrest him too?” Asked Majory keenly.
Mr Binwell Tembo took her by her shoulder with his arm and led her to a rest room of the house,and sat her in a couch.He sat right next to her.
“Am sorry I didn’t want to tell you,” began Mr Binwell Tembo,” when you asked about your husband,Mwewa.I know now you know your husband is the cell as a suspect of the murders cases.I did want your early knowledge of such a breaking news as I considered your state.I need you to heal from the disturbing trauma,my love.But you see,your husband has been cheating on you with this young lady Daniel told me about.”
“I know he’s been cheating,” she said trying to beat her emotions .
“You do?”
“Daniel told me too,” she said.
“I see..” said Mr Binwell Tembo,”yes…so Daniel was involved in a fight with the same young lady and he assaulted her.”
“What caused the fight?” Mwaka got even more buffled.
“Am yet to find out from the police” said Mr Binwell Tembo.”But do you think your husband could have committed such crimes?The murders?”
Majory answered,”my husband could have been cheating on me.But I know he can’t kill anybody.Its a frame against him.I feel Daniel is the psycho behind all this.”
“What makes you think so?”
Majory did not answer.Her father sensed she needed a little time off this topic.And so he tapped her shoulder and encouraged her not worry so much about her husband.That he would be vindicated if indeed he was innocent.
Deep inside her,Majory felt Daniel could be behind all that had happened after she passed out in his house and later found herself in the hospital.She had recalled vividly how she was served the glass of wine by Daniel.She knew now there was something wrong about that glass of wine. if there’s really something wrong about the wine,only Daniel could have deliberately toxicated it.So who could have dumped her into the bushes if not Daniel who was there with her,and whom she surely knew was too obsessed with her to do anything?

“Why were you beating up Mwaka that evening?” The interogater calmly asked Daniel in the interogation room as he uncuffed his hands gently.
“I went to seek answers over the disappearance of my best friend and colleague, Mwewa Mulusa.Mwaka recently had been *blackmailing Mwewa with a nude video which she recorded with him.She threatened my best friend that she would release the shaming video to social media platforms if he didn’t divorce his wife and take her* in as his new wife.I knew she could be keeping my best friend somewhere,away from work and family,so I had to confront her that evening.But when I tried to get into her house and search for Mwewa,she resisted and kicked me in the balls.Am sorry I couldn’t hold my temper and I had to respond.”
“You are sorry?That means you are ready to face the charges?” Asked the interogater.
“Charges of assault,yes sir” Daniel said.
“Are you trying to teach me my job?” Asked the interogater.
“No sir,” said Daniel.
“So you better give me a No or Yes! Are you ready to face the charges?”
“Yes,sir”
“Good,” said the interogater, “Iam placing not only charges of assault against you,but of murder as well!”
“Murder?” Wondered Daniel in shock.
“Manslaughter or whatever the judge may call it.But you killed the unborn child of Mwaka after you assaulted its mother.”
This stroke Daniel with hopelessness.He had planned so well to get out of the cells with the west kids and Mubita.But will he win this new battle with himself? If he must,then how?
This,now ,was a serious case.More than that of the assault.He would be jailed for years for causing death to the unborn child of Mwaka.

Meanwhile,Mubita had taken up his assignment as assigned by Daniel.And right now,he put on a face mask and a cape and disguised himself as a relative to Mwaka,he was on a mission to skillfully kidnap Mwaka from the hospital and take her away to be killed so that Daniel could have his way out of the cells before Mwaka could be questioned by the police….
