MINA THE SIDECHICK
CHAPTER TEN
When we arrived at the station, I had to wait for her to be questioned first to determine if she was indeed guilty or not. They didn’t allow me to go in to where she was taken for questioning. So I practically waited for them outside.
“If this woman is freed this evening, then truly it was my carelessness and my fault. But if she is detained and put on trial, I will make sure she rots in jail forever,” I said to myself in anger.
After an hour, I didn’t see anyone coming out of the room. I wasn’t sure of what to think, so I walked up to an officer who happens to be coming out of the room and asked,
“Good day sir!”
“Yes! Fine girl. How can I help you?” he said, popping his eyes and smiling from jaw to jaw.
“Actually, I came here with a certain lady who was taken in for questioning. Haven’t seen her or heard any information about her whereabouts,” I asked, drifting away from the pungent carbon dioxide he sent out.
“Ohh, You mean the lady in black?” moving closer.
“Yes sir, that’s the one.”
“I will go check what happened to her, but please can I get your number? You look so beautiful,” he said and winked at me flirtatiously.
“Jeez!!” I exclaimed in my heart. “If only you knew how much of a dog you look right now, You wouldn’t even think of coming an inch close to me,” I thought to myself, staring at the most dangerous animal made by God.
“God, I apologize, but you see this your Adams that you made, I am tired of their wahala. Hahaha. Look at this one ohh,” I was still thinking to myself when he suddenly snapped his fingers.
“Miss!!! Are you okay? I said that you sho…” my phone rings, and I pick it up immediately and disappear from his face.
“Hello!!”
“Hello! My daughter?” George’s mum answered from the other side.
“Where are you? It’s already gone past six, and you’ve not come back home.”
“I am ok mama, I went to handle a few things,” I assured her.
“Ok! But please come home, you left this house since 7 am in the morning, and it’s almost 7 pm, and you’re not yet back. Come home!!” she persisted.
“I will mama, just don’t bother about me.”
My call was interrupted by Sandrine’s loud voice as she could be heard shouting at the officer.
“I have a child to breastfeed at home. I can’t be locked up here!!”
“I am sorry ma’am, but you have to prove you’re not guilty for us to let you go,” He told her calmly.
“And who the hell do you think you are to tell me what to do? Do you know who I am?”
“I don’t care to know if you have 50 horns, but I will advise you to call your lawyer than to continue to spill shit that will be used against you in the court of law!!” He screamed back at her, already enraged by her constant screaming.
While she was being taken to be locked up in a cell, she saw me and lashed out,
“You!!!” she said, pointing in my direction. “I will definitely get back at you. Just watch and see.”
“Let me go!!” She scolds another police officer who was asking her to get in.
It was time to get a lawyer for this case. Sandrine was not just an ordinary housewife like I was. She was a millionaire businesswoman, and I guess that’s the reason why my so-called husband decided to stick around. Apart from her bank accounts, she had nothing; she was naturally rude and loud, self-centered, and made everything about her that she hardly ever considered people. I wondered what excited my husband about this woman. I ordered a Yango, which came and took me directly to the house.
