EPISODE 13
I can sneak up on Esther and make her confess.
“So tell us what you have in mind, the detective said. “Well, before i say anything, I’ll like to know if the so-called Esther that got me into this mess is still staying at my husband’s house?” I asked while the detective nodded. “Yes, she is at the house. She chose staying there with your mother-in-law and four other people while the rest have moved to a hotel, but my department is still in possession of all their passports. So what has that got to do with your plan?”
“A lot officer. It has a lot to do with my plans” I answered calmly. “Then go on” my brother urged desperately. “I can sneak into the compound, sneak up on Esther and make her confess. I know the house very well and i very much know the weak spots i can use in gaining access to any room i so desire”, I poured out breathlessly. My brother scoffed while the detective laughed.
“You must be kidding, how on earth can you get her to confess?” My brother asked with disbelief. “Have you forgotten that i’m a woman. I know how to get a fellow woman to talk. Moreover Esther won’t find it hard opening up to me, since to her, I’m good as dead and it equally would be her word against mine. But if i can record everything with my phone without her knowledge, won’t the case be solved?Please just allow me to have access to the house, I’m very sure i can do it”, I pleaded desperately. The detective scratched his head and breathed deeply.
“Have you forgotten that you are supposed to be in police cell? How do i explain your disappearance? No, no, no, even though your plan sounds tempting, i can’t allow it. I can’t jeopardise my career to that extreme”, he said slowly, while I grabbed him strongly. “This is the only chance i have got, please help me. If things go bad you can say I escaped from jail. You can fabricate anything and put on me. Please I beg of you”, I begged passionately. He breathed deeply and nodded.
“Fine, am in, but if things go bad, you are on your own” he accepted, drawing a great smile from me with his words. I hugged him with gratitude. “Just pray it doesn’t go bad. This is the only shot you have got to redeem yourself. Don’t waste it”, he advised while i nodded. It all appeared too easy to say but deep down i knew it was a very difficult task with high risk of failing. However I was very determined to carry it out. After all, I had nothing to lose trying.
Let’s go home first. I want to see mum.
“So when do you plan heading to the house”, the detective asked seconds later. “It should be tonight, around 10pm. The neighbourhood will be dark and lonely by that time”, i answered quickly. “That’s okay, but without a good recorder and hand gloves, i doubt if your mission will be successful. I can get them for you. Thank me later”, he offered with a smile.
“Oh, thanks very much. You are indeed an angel”, I thanked him. “I think we are forgetting something. We are yet to come up with a plan on how to get her out of this place without your colleagues noticing” my brother queried suspiciously.
