EPISODE 6
“How did it go?” Lynda asked John.
“She’s kind of forming strict, but chill I will get to that girl.” He assured.
“Let me send her a romantic message, I have her number already.”
“Don’t go and fall for that girl o, cause I don’t know why you are doing all this” John laughed, He composed a message and sent it to her. His phone rang some minutes later. “Honey, is Taiwo,” He picked curiously
“Hello, Hello..” He could not hear what she was saying, he ended the call.
“Honey, I can’t hear her, let me look for her, have tracked her location.” He said wearing his shoes
“John be safe” Lynda warned.
“I will, please give me my wristwatch, don’t worry I will return it when I’m back” He tracked her down to a bar, she had drunk to stupor.
“Thank you for coming, take” She threw her car key to him. “Drive me home,” Taiwo instructed. He messaged Lynda, for their home address, while they were going Taiwo began to speak gibberish.
“I have failed, I have failed in killing Kenny and my parents”
“What!” He had to park the car, so he could listen carefully.
“I remove the brakes from my parent’s car, so they could die by accident but no they still survived it, all my effort to destroy Kenny and her boyfriend proved abortive. I don’t know any Richard, is all fake, the thumb is fake, Kenny is too strong to be defeated.”
John opened his mouth in awe. She moved closer to him
“Why will my dad tell the kidnappers to spare Kenny and kill me, when I am their biological daughter we were never twins, we were not identical. They only paid for the release of Kenny, why did they hate me so much.” She kissed John unexpectedly, He responded, and began to undress her, hoping to take advantage of the moment when a trailer ran into them, They died on the spot.
News reached Lynda the following morning about the death of her Fiancee. She rushed to the mortuary
“So he was your fiancee, he was never a detective, I doubt if you are a psychologist” Kenny challenged her with uncontrollable tears flowing down their cheeks.
The mortuary attendant handed over the deceased clothes to them. It took both families months before they recover.
Kehinde tried calling her manager but she no longer pick her calls, she resumed office after months of mourning her sister, but the gate keeper stopped her from entering.
“I’m Omokehinde, the drummer girl, this is my office”
“Ma, I don’t know you, you know I’m new here, my oga just buy this space, please keep off”
“Do you say buy? What the hell is going on?, where is simbi?” She asked no one in particular. It was that same she realized all her shows have been banned.
She called one of her clients “Hello, is Kehinde the drummer, you invited me to come play in your annul club meeting at Douglas next week”
“Don’t worry about that we’ve gotten an alternative” The call ended
“What is happening to me!” She yelled
Lynda on her sick bed still mourning her Fiancee, sighted a bag, the mortuary attendant gave her, she went for it and checked thoroughly. “Something is missing here, John’s wristwatch..”
