CHAPTER THREE:
Days passed, morning and night, minutes, seconds, still yet we hadn't made any progress, the case was more difficult and complicating than I thought, I just kept lamenting ...
"I didn't sign up for this, I would have been in a Jacuzzi, enjoying my life, spending my time off on one or two vacations with some big ass women...
Immediately,
"The light turned green"
I could have sworn that those two hours I was at traffic were the worst of all, you could hear curses, lament, fights, drunkards hitting people's cars, people cussing at each other, and well what can I say...
"Finally, we are moving".
Every human has instinct that could explain some situations, at this point she would have noticed a certain car following her home. The Blue Honda had been tailing us from day one of the case. They usually stop at same traffic, you could just have that feeling you know don't know for her but something was not right because I've seen the same car in so many occasions.
So, I had to lodge a hotel opposite to hers just to keep tabs on her and some weird things had been going on, just like the other day she was crying after she came in for an interrogation and the other time we got an insider working agent to open ears and eyes to some weird conversations and actions who reportedly said she acts weirdly, cries all the time and keep receiving certain packages, always being cautious of phone calls, with no family visiting and all.
Well, I just confirmed some after seeing her accept a package as I curiously zoomed in my camera and then .....
"Pinpoint" she was undressing, damn I couldn't feel any need to take the camera down and before you know it, a truck pulled off at the hotel where she stays, and a guy in black, face mask, hands in shorts weirdly moving in a way that could send a sense of danger raised.
I positioned my camera so i would sense out any reaction or fear and lo and behold...
The event that just took place send chills down my spine, the whom I saw the character Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion , who wouldn't break a sweat of emotions nor cry, was dripping tears off and pouncing in fear at maybe someone but From my angle was to the wall. seeing this I rushed down because I haven't seen the dispatch rider who delivered as I just remembered. immediately, I rushed out, called the feds and rushed in with my Glock 19 pistol which my granddad had used in his early days as a police officer.
I rushed in calling out the hotel cctv agents asking them to keep an eye on the woman and make sure she is safe, just as walked through the steps with her number on voicemail, i knew something was up.
just as I rushed up the second floor, room 121,I bust open the door and pointed out my gun and couldn't see nobody only the shivering woman looking directly at me half naked, I could sense someone in the room maybe at my back, at the closet, I couldn't contain the thoughts running through.
"Until....
I heard a voice at the back who shouted drop the gun, at this point I felt dead, I felt my soul leaving my body this is the first time and I really don't want to die maybe not by a dispatch rider.
I couldn't scream because there was no help and I couldn't just keep shouting not to provoke him and also the lady standing in front of me needs a saviour.
So, I had to..., I did drop the gun, at this point I had accepted my fate with regrets, watching too much action movie had affected me so much, I couldn't think, blink I just kept hearing the name "Baba Yaga" and I just had to think, remembering she had a fun which was lincensed and decided to make the process a long one.
I called out to her with my eyes asking her to shoot him. But then, I asked him a question, why did you murder that family what imposed you to do so I wasn't even sure, I just kept saying anything since I was so nervous and it might work though due to psychology if he was just a thief, he would be confused but if it was the killer, he would panic, and guess I was right he did panicked breathing went up and you could hear his nervousness, so I told him, "you let her go and you can surrender yourself we make it easier.
Well, obviously I didn't get any answer, no murmur and then I decided to ask again.
We ran through your accomplice database and guess what we found your finger prints on his body and then he finally speaks in a deep voice.
"Who are you and what do you want".
Well, this tactics seems to be working now, and I said am sure you don't want to know but that woman over there is under my custody.
He gave out a grin and said she over there is mine, she is mine and I love her, am in love with her, she over there knows so much, she did this to me, all the pressure, all of it was her fault.
He kept cussing and waling at the top of his voice and then gave out a laugh and said am here to take her with me.
And then she began to cry and started asking for forgiveness.
"I didn't do anything, I was just trying to help you out, I gave you the best advice that I could but then the outcome wasn't what I expected please!.
"Be quiet". he screamed out what do you know huh! no tell me! money I have it, cars and what else, I just had one wish support me and stay with me let's build a family let's be one, Amelia, I love you so much and you know that.
As I wanted to look back at the raging man who kept striking his hands at the wall to get a glimpse of recognition he points towards me in anger.
And then she screamed out wait, wait you know I loved you Mark, I loved you, I did, but I just couldn't corporate or build family with someone who murders people, understand me, I only told you that for a family to hold on we have to be financially stable, marriage is a huge deal, you should find a job, a job that would sustain us. Even though it would help much but at least we get live off crimes and all.
Before she could finish.... he asked, who are you referring to as a murderer.!
"No tell me!", who! huh, which job could sustain us, I wanted to give you the best life, the life that you never had was that why U had to do that to me. you were making out with a man.! how could you! no tell me! how.
In this moment confessions kept striking on and on.
"We weren't making out, I wasn't!" ..... We ....
She said in a lowly voice.
Spare me the crap, he said out loud, you were making out, and what was he doing here. You tell me huh! and you still had the guts to lie to me.!
You didn't give me a chance to explain, you didn't, you never wanted to hear me out, I told you I didn't do it, check my phone you could see his messages he came because I invited him, he wanted to give me a job, he did wants to, he offered me a job at his company, how could I be making out with a 45year old with wife and kids and a man of that integrity, he only came to have a tour of the house with his assistant, it was a counselling job, and he needed to take a look at the place himself to know if in for the job, but you didn't want to listen to me.
With a sign of regret, he tossed out the phone, looked at me, went close to her and still ordered me not to say anything or do anything funny, then he asked her so you still trust me.
Yes, she replied.
He went closer with his hands above her head and eyes straight to hers , I love you Amelia.. he said almost softly
And she broke.
Join me let's run away from this country let's go off, start a new life and all, let's go it to somewhere nobody can find us, please come with me this night, am begging you please.!
Mark I can't, please we cannot build a healthy home from that.
I cannot stay with a murderer,
You were involved right, please tell me they you were not, please?!!
No response a he was keen to the wall and finally realised, she hit him multiple times on his chest and tears Rolle down her cheeks .
it's better you surrender and we find a lawyer and ... Please let's talk about this in an easy way. Just let the gun down. Please!!
"She screamed out "
"Rate exploded",
"He snapped",
And then he hit his head multiple times, uncontrollably, shut up, do you think that I can and ever would walk out of this one, how will I, I just wouldn't, you just don't understand the what deal I signed, and you are going to come with me Amelia and now, for him dressed look Canadian police officer he said outlowed,, Pointed straight at me; nature has to see to his end.
And then came the sirens. A chopper cut through the sky. Red and blue lights flooded the streets. The whole block—surrounded.
"Keep your hands up and surrender! The whole building is surrounded!"
The voice echoed through the speakers, sharp and cold.
"This is the feds. Don't try to escape."
Just as a fly buzzed past the cracked blinds, he moved.
In one swift motion, he dashed to the window, shattered the glass, and disappeared into the night.
But what he didn't know was—someone was already waiting outside...
