CRAZY SIDE CHICK
Chapter 19
Mubita spotted a police officer by the entrance to Mwaka’s medical ward, securing Mwaka’s custody.
He quickly conceived a plan and calmly treaded towards the officer and whispered,” good evening Officer”
The police officer responded,” yes,good evening,sir?”
“Bwana,I hear you are guarding a young lady who is involved in some kidnapping case…” Said Mubita.
“Yes,are you one of the kidnappers?” Asked the policeman with an AK47 across his chest, in an intimidating deep voice.
Mubita giggled,” no bwana.Iam the young lady’s neighbor .”
“Okay,” said the police officer.
“Yes bwana.I came to find a way to her so that I can ask her about something very frightening before I report to the station but it’s good you are here.I found something in her yard.”
“What could that be?” Eagerly asked the police officer.
“I found a big bag filled with stacks of kwachas in her backyard and am very scared,” said Mubita.
“Money you say?” The cop lowered his voice.
“A lot of money bwana” said Mubita.
“Are you sure?”
“Am very sure bwana” said Mubita,” I can take you there to see for yourself”
The cop looked around and said,”I hope you are sure of this or I won’t be nice,” warned the police man.His heart raced at the sound of the pronounced “stacks of kwachas.”Perhaps he had some wrong intentions had this information been true.
So the police guy followed Mubita in the hallway to the exit of the hospital,up to a car Mubita had rented to use on his assigned mission.He offered the cop a drive to Mwaka’s place.About 3 minutes of drive through a very lone alley,Mubita stopped the car and removed a pistol and pointed it at the police officer who could hardly stretch out his long AK47 in the backseat.
“Come out!” Ordered Mubita.
The cop climbed down the car and he was made to put his gun down, or the pistol to his head behind him would be fired.
“Now take off your uniform,” Mubita ordered.
The cop did as he was told and eventually he was handcuffed with his own police handcuffs,and thrown at the boonet of the car by mubita.
Then Mubita put on the police uniform to disguise himself.He put the AK47 in the backseat,and drove back to the hospital.There he had no problem to get access to Mwaka’s sickbed.And In no time,Mwaka was kidnapped from the hospital out of belief that she was being taken to the police station for questioning.
But Mubita took Mwaka to Daniel’s house as Daniel had instructed.The cop was still in the boonet.
” Officer,Why have you brought me here?” Mwaka asked,startled and afraid.
“Quiet,” Mubita warned and pushed Mwaka towards the front door to Daniel’s house.He shot the door open and as directed by Daniel,Mubita dragged Mwaka to a cellar of the house and locked her in there.
Then,Mubita,drove the cop in the boonet quiet a distance away from Daniel’s house and trashed the cop in the bushes__n@ked and handcuffed.He vowed not to murder anyone.And he believed the cop could vaguely recognize him anywhere in the streets as he had put on a face mask all the while.

The next day,Majory had to visit his husband in the cell.She was accompanied by Mr Binwell Tembo.
But first,she and her father were led into an office by the detective who had taken up Majory’s drugging and dumping case from the murdered officer.
“We have unearthed some facts about your case,” said the detective.
“Really?So who drugged and dumped my daughter in the bushes?” Asked Mr Binwell Tembo and was as curious as Majory.
“Yesterday we interviewed two criminals who kidnapped Mwewa Mulusa .They confessed having killed my fellow detective and the doctor of the City Hospital,may their souls rest in peace…..Let me call the two criminals to listen for yourself how everything had happened..” The detective called for a police officer who brought in the two assassins from Daniel’s cells.
“Tell them exactly what you told the police yesterday!” Echoed up the detective, yelling at the criminals.
One of the assassins maintained the statements and narrated exactly as Daniel had cautioned them to say, ” a lady called Mwaka wanted her boyfriend’s (Mwewa’s)wife (Majory)dead so she could snatch the husband from her.She was the one that hired us to kill her boyfriend’s wife.We followed the boyfriend’s wife (Majory)everywhere up to this house where she was with a guy…..”
Majory interrupted,” you mean you followed me and Daniel to his house that day?”
“Yes,Madam,” said the assassins.
” Go on,” the detective told the assassin.
“So…,”the assassin continued,” we managed to hiddingly sneak into the house without your knowledge and we watched everything from our hideouts.And I saw the guy(Daniel) prepare a glass of wine for you in the kitchen.I personally put a deadly drug in the wine as we had already planned to drug you to death had we kidnapped you by any chance before then.Then a few moments later after you were served that wine,you got onto your car and drove out of that yard.We had to make sure the drug worked so we followed you behind.
You later pulled your car by the bushes and came out of it looking dizzy.You staggered into the bushes and laid there.From there we thought you’d died.But later we heard the news you had survived.
Then again,Mwaka ordered us to finish you.We came to the City Hospital and tried to bribe the doctor into killing you but he betrayed us and we overheard him call the detective who was investigating your case about us.And that’s what led to us killing the doctor and the detective.
But later on Mwaka had a conflict with her boyfriend and so she ordered us to take him out of her house and kill him somewhere.That’s how we kidnapped Mwaka’s boyfriend (Mwewa) and implicated him to the murders we committed by using his IDs we found in his pockets..”
Majory frowned, astonished.She puffed out her shocked breaths,” oh my God.I can’t believe this.So inwardly I have been accusing Daniel wrongly?I still can’t remember how I left Daniel’s house, though.”
“Perhaps that’s because You were under the effects of the deadly drug in the wine,” said the detective.
“But why is Daniel in the cells?” Asked Majory.
The detective explained.It was then that Majory and Mr Binwell Tembo got the whole story behind Daniel’s detention.
And when Majory was left alone with her father she whispered to him and whined:
“So Daniel never had a hand in the attack!My wreckless cheating husband got us both into danger!He should be the one charged against assault and manslaughter and not Daniel who only went to his concubine’s house to confront her about his best friend’s whereabouts!”
Mr binwell Tembo added,” It’s obvious Mwewa has learnt a lesson on cheating.I hope you guys will settle this conflict and continue with your marriage.”
Mwaka was silent.But the fact is she felt something beyond love for her husband.She truly loved Mwewa.But now she was confused.She had to listen to him today.
“I still believe he is a good man though not perfect.Nobody is.” Mr Binwell Tembo said.
Later,Mwewa was brought in the office by the detective to talk with his visitors__his wife and and his father_in_law.
