Yomi opened the door and met a terrified Lisa. "What is going on, "Yomi asked as Lisa walked in. "Get the boss now, he needs to see this " Jeremy's footsteps sounded as he walked down the stairs, he had also woken up because of the sound of the bell. "Why do you want to see me, Lisa, it's freaking 7 am" "I'm the sorry boss "Lisa begged. "Sir, you need to see this"Lisa bought out her phone and play a video, and showed it to Jeremy and Yomi. "I wasn't raped.. ". Jeremy looked closely at the video, it was Linda confessing. "It was all a lie, I'm sorry for defaming Hamilton's name. I just wanted money so I decided to drag their name. The video I uploaded online is fabricated and everything I posted is a lie. Please disengage from questioning the Hamilton's, it was all a lie. ". The video ended and Jeremy looked at Lisa pondering on what to say. "What the fuck is this Lisa? Who put her up for this?. When was this uploaded? "Jeremy throw series of questions at Lisa. "At midnight sir, it's has been trending for long "Lisa replied and show Jeremy some comments on Linda's confession. "What going on? Why would she release such video?. Yomi get the car we are going to visit those girls. Something isn't adding up, they could be in danger". "What do you mean by getting the car? "Yomi asked. "Exactly what you heard yomi get the car"Jeremy replied. Yomi pressed a hand to his forehead and groan. "I will go alone. I don't want you getting into any harm "Yomi argued. "Nothing is going to happen to me Yomi, you will be by my side and I'll be fine. "Jeremy face Lisa and instructed her. "Call the detective and send the address to her. Let go yomi. Jeremy walked out of the house not bothering to change his outfit, he wanted to make sure those girls were fine. ** "It trending online as planned, the people are already throwing shades at the girl!! "Simone commented. The feathers were all on a video conference call discussing Linda's confession. "I told you I was going to solve it Simone" Daniel responded. Alissa cleared her throat and all attention was on her. "I know you all are getting giddy and happy about the video posted online but we have a major problem. " "A problem shared is a problem solved"munachi added. "This isn't my problem alone munachi, this is relating to the feathers" Alissa announced. park tap on the screen of his phone making some noise to gain attention. "I hope this isn't about another rape cause I'm not ready for another bad publicity. "He said. Daniel ignored Park's comment and asked Alissa what was going on. "Can you elaborate, please? What is the problem?" Alissa breathe out, she bought a paper to the front of her screen and they all stared at the paper. "Olusola has declined our project. the assembly members are refusing to approve it and the funny thing is the project is being given to KK groups because they believe he is good for the job. " "What? "Simone shouted at Alissa's announcement. "I thought you threatened him enough. what changes his decision? " "This isn't about if I threatened him or not. The assembly rejected the proposal stating that it was going to render a lot of the poor homeless but who cares anyway. KK groups are just doing half of what we planned and like I heard he will be traveling to Carbuja to meet with the members of the assembly and the president on Friday. "Alissa explained. "We need to do something Asap" Leonard spoke through the conference call. "I mean we can't seat down and fold our hands. We can't let all the years of planning go down into a hole. Daniel, what do you think?" All of them waited for Daniel's reply. "Meeting by 2 pm. when I'm done with the interview. "He said and disconnected the call.? The remaining feathers were shocked at what he had done. Daniel pondered on what to do as he paced around his room. He had planned this project for 20 years. He had even killed a lot of people. no one was going to stop him not even the president. ____________________________________ Jeremy and Yomi arrived at Mary's house. When they got to the front door, they knocked but no one answered. Jeremy signal to yomi to kick the door. Yomi kicked the door and they entered the house. Mary who was tied to a chair with a bomb around her screamed as they entered. A blow landed on Yomi's head and he staggered and was about to fall but, he stood his ground and faced the attacker. He kicked the attacker and tackled him to the ground. "Let's him go, he is with me"Mary shouted at Yomi who pressed the attacker to the floor. "Let him go!!! " she screamed. Jeremy signal to yomi to let the attacker go and he did as ordered. "Who are you? "Jeremy asked calmly. The attacker gave him a weird look and glare hard at Yomi. "The question should be who are you guys? Are you the one who has put the bomb on her? "The attacker questioned. "Put the bomb on her?? you fucking landed a blow on my head. Do we look like some bombers!!" Jeremy shouted. Yomi placed a hand on his shoulder to calm him down. "While you two fools are arguing. I need to get this bomb off me I don't wanna die yet!! "Mary shouted. "Yomi will do that, he is good with bombs" Jeremy informed her but she didn't want yomi touching her. "Oh hell no, one mistake and we will all die"Mary replied as she trembled in fear. "No one is gonna die, just stay calm while I stop the bomb," Yomi said calmly as he walked towards Mary. "Mary I need to ask you some questions. Who is this man? "Jeremy pointed at the attacker. "That's James, he is my friend. I called him immediately I was attacked"she replied. Jeremy and James stared at each other for a while before looking away. "And who is he? "The man identified as James asked Mary. "That attorney Jeremy Akinsola, he wanted to take Linda's case before she was kidnapped," Mary replied to him but James continue to glare at Jeremy. "Where is Linda right now? I saw a video online showing her confessing."Jeremy told Mary as he bought out his phone to show Mary the video... "What? Those wicked souls they have her. We have to look for her! they are going to kill her!"Mary cried as she watched the video. Yomi who was busy trying to stop the bomb felt pity for her, he watched her as she cried. "We are going to look for her I promise you, "Jeremy said. James chuckled beside him and faced Jeremy. "Look mister attorney, you don't have any idea who you are dealing with. She could be dead by now ". "Don't... "A knock sounded and everyone turns their attention to the door, yomi bought out his gun and walk to the door while James grabbed a pan that was laying on the floor. They signal to one another and opened the door ready to hit the unknown person at the door. "Woah Woah... LGPD "Lara showed them her badge. Lisa trembled beside her but feel relaxed when she saw Yomi. Yomi signals for James to drop the pan in his hand and then let Lara and Lisa entered the house. Mary stared at them as they entered, The bomb still tied to her body. "Oh, my world! you didn't tell me there was a freaking bomb in here" Lisa gulped. "What old woman? Never seen a girl tied up to a bomb before "Mary mocked as she stared from Lisa to Lara. "And what is a freaking detective doing here? " "She is with us"Yomi replied and went back to the bomb. "Hi I'm Lara a detective from LGPD "Lara introduced herself but Mary scoffed and look away. "No one wants your introduction detective. your people are the reason why the country is bad"Mary accused. Lara stared at the lady in front of her she looked broken and hurt but that's doesn't give her the right to judge her."You don't have the right to judge me. "Lara retorted. "Oh yes I do, if I wasn't tied to a freaking bomb right now I'll probably be kicking your ass!! "Mary shouted and then began to cry. "If you had helped Linda then she wouldn't have to face this alone, she came to your freaking department and what did you do? you threw her out". "I'm not my freaking department miss, I'm different"Lara quickly replied. "Guys! Guys!! "Jeremy shouted to gain their attention. "Please let's calm down I know one of us had been hurt or broken in the past by something or someone but this isn't the time to express our anger. We have a lady missing and a freaking bomb here. Let try and get this bomb to stop then we sort our differences. " It was as if they listened to Jeremy because they stopped arguing. finally, yomi stopped the bomb and freed Mary from the chair she was sitting in. "Thank you"Mary smiled at yomi who gave her a nod and a straight face. "Now we have to look for Linda " "Did you see who attacked you? "Lara questioned Mary laughed and walk to her. "What's with your police and dumb questions? How was I supposed to know when I was attacked from the back"Mary yelled at her. James pulled her away and went to the other side of the house to speak with her. "I'm sorry for her outburst, thanks for coming detective. "Jeremy said to Lara. "No problem attorney " she replied smiling. "I'm sure she had faced a lot that's why she is like that". James and Mary returned a few minutes later. Mary looked calm and bows her head not bothering to look at anyone. "We have to look for Linda, she trusted me to save her"Mary spoke up still looking at the floor. "We will search for...
