MY WEDDING NIGHT
EPISODES 11
“Please shoot me, shoot me, shoot me” I begged
with tears, forcing him to look away once again.
“Seriously madam, this is slowly slipping from
me. I have only two options left, which are pretty
hard” he said and swallowed hard while I stared
at him hopefully, wiping my tears.
“Number one. I play the good cop bad cop
tactics on Esther, by secretly getting another
audience with her. This time with another officer.
We will then present some selling lies and my
colleague will ask for money to keep us quiet.
Most whites think we are all corrupt. So i feel
she will buy my offer, and through that
opportunity, I can get her to talk. The only bad
side of it, is that if it goes bad, i can be fired
from the force. The second option is presenting
my facts to your mother inlaw, get her to reveal
more details about her white guests to me. I’ll
then do what we call profiling, which will enable
me get the man who killed your husband. Esther
is no fool, she had no time to hire a local hitman.
She probably brought the killer along as her
brother, cousin or friend. The only bad side of
this plan is that it may take more than two days
to accomplish which then leaves us with one
option which you must do yourself to avoid trial.
If I fail to meet up with the deadline” he
concluded seriously.
“So what’s the option?” I asked.
“Oh it’s very dangerous. A very dangerous option”
he murmured…
“I can do anything to free myself. Please just
speak up” I pleaded. The detective shook his
head, bit his lips and stared at me.
“hmmmm, if i’m unable to make any
breakthrough within two days, you will have to
harm yourself in a way that it will be impossible
to put you up for trial. That’s the only way out”
he said cautiously.
“Wait a minute, I don’t understand. You mean i
should harm myself?, in what way officer?” I
asked with disbelief. He drew closer to me and
squatted by my side.
“That’s the only way to escape trial for some
days. I can smuggle in some pills that will knock
you out. So instead of finding yourself in the
courtroom, you will find yourself in the hospital.
However it can be added to your charges but i
believe your lawyer won’t have a hard time
winning over the charge. But you also have to
swear to keep your mouth shut if it comes to
that. You know i can equally end up in prison
over it” he said seriously, while i nodded.
I couldn’t even find the voice to talk. The plan
was just so terrible to hear. Of course it was
nothing but a sucidal plan. I knew the health
implications of such deed, but it was a better
option than prison. Seriously the detective was
going out of line just to save a clueless lady like
me. It wasn’t as if we paid him to help me. He
simply was doing it for free.
As if he knew what was going through my mind.
He reached out and held my hands.
“When I joined the force newly, a young male
student was picked up by our patrol team some
miles away from a Robbery scene. We all knew
the boy was innocent but still held him just to
prove a point that we were working. Unknown to
us, the boy was asthmatic and as soon as he
was thrown into the cell, his health condition got
very bad and before we could run around, he
died. Since that moment, I decided to help the
innocent. But you see, in police work it’s not
always easy to be on the right path because we
all obey orders and answer to our superiors
whether we like it or not” He said softly.
“You are a bright young woman but i’m afraid, if I
fail to get good results. You will have to take
your destiny in your hands. You will have to harm
yourself. That’s the only thing that can buy us
more time. Yes you will try committing suicide
but I’ll be right on time to save your life.
TO BE CONTINUED….
QUESTION: Is the suicidal plan the best thing to do? Would you agree to such a plan if u were in her shoes?
