Angels Do Weep

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 19

{Kicked Out}

Life, they say is a two sided coin, when

tossed up will favour one and will be against

another ,but their are some cases whereby

the two players are always favoured by the

result of a coin tossed.

Do you know that unlike movies where the

evil one are always exposed or are quickly

exposed, it doesn’t work like that in reality,

some evil people in reality are sometimes

lucky to eat their cake and still have it.

Thereby having the chance to take their

secrets to their grave

But not all eat their cakes and still

have it, but before those kind of people

secret get exposed, things would have gone

bad beyond repairing.

I didn’t know how yemi case was going be

but i knew if she wasn’t expose with the

ongoing investigation ,she will not be

getting expose anytime soon.

~~~~

After the long run , the DPO said my case will

be charged to court where i will be

prosecuted ,

then suddenly , the interrogation room’s

door opened and an officer entered ,he

saluted the DPO and reported that the

criminal that they apprehended has finally

confessed,

I didn’t know why but i suddenly got a bad

feeling about it instead of being happy

“that’s good, so did he pinpoint this young

man as one of his accomplice” the DPO

asked pointing at me and my heartbeat

skipped a beat.

All eyes inside the room focused on the

sergeant, he became the only vvip inside the

room as we were all anticipating what he

had stuck in his throat.

“he said they received order from someone

to kidnap and kill the girl but this young

man, here” he said pointing at me

“interrupted them and saved the girl killing

three of them in the process i.e. the three

corpse we retrieved from the forest, but” he

said and paused for a bit

” but what” the DPO asked losing his

patience,

“as he wanted to tell us who gave the

person who gave them the order, he started

coughing out blood and died” the sergeant

said with a sober tone.

” wonderful” i heard Joyce whispered but

others didn’t hear.

” do you have a record of his confession”

the DPO asked the sergeant after some

minutes of pin drop silences and the

sergeant replied yes.

“looks like your client’s innocence has being

proven

” the DPO said directing his gaze to Joyce

who received the gaze with a victory smile.

I looked at tabitha and Ranking with a

bloodshot look and they brought their head

down with shame.

“i’m very sorry, i didn’t know what suddenly

took over me that made me to falsely accuse

you” tabitha said with a sober tone and all

gaze except mine directed at her in surprise.

“what do you mean by falsely accusing

him”? Ranking asked her in a surprise tone

” the truth was that he was the one who

saved me from the assassins but it was just

like I’ve been brainwashed or spelled to

forget it and see him as a threat ,but i

suddenly seemed to remember everything

now” she said with tears dripping from her

eye and i felt sorry towards her, that was

when i was sure that it was the supreme

one’s handiwork and not the girl’s fault.

“shit” Ranking exclaimed using the

handkerchief in his hand to wipe the sweat

that started appearing on his face

” what are we going to do now” he asked

no one in particular.

“nothing much” Joyce replied

” all you just have to do is compensate my

client for slander and accusing him wrongly

,and you’ll also inform the reporters that

you’re sorry for falsely accusing him or else

I’m going to sue you and your daughter to

court” she added with a serious tone that

doesn’t seem like her.

“let them be” i told Joyce and she looked at

me with “what tha hell” gaze.

” let just go home, it ain’t their fault” i added

and i could see that Joyce was very angry

with my decision.

” can you leave us for a bit, i think i need

discuss somethings with my client in

private”

The DPO looked at Ranking and Ranking

shook his head to signify to him that

they should leave.

When you’re guilty of something,their will

always be a change in the way you do

things unlike when you’re innocent of it.

Ranking was very humble now, even his

walking was saying it, the gaze that was

sharp before like a sword was now dull.

I knew he was afraid of facing the press,

acknowledging that he and his daughter

had accused and got me arrested wrongly, it

will be a smear on his personality as it will

derive criticizingfrom the public.

He will be painted as a tyrant and i knew

him well to Know that ,that’s one of the

thing he feared most.

“are you stupid” Joyce screamed at me as

soon as they left the room.

” how can you decide to let them be after

what they did to you, is it that you’re just

stupid or you have something to do with

the kidnapping” she added screaming at me

” what do you mean by me having

something to do with the kidnapping” i

screamed back at her angrily”

” what you’re doing is like telling them that

you’re lucky to escape them, if not,you’ll

even demand an apology from them”

she added irritated

” okay, anything you like you say against me

but I’m not pressing any charge against

them and I’m not going to demand for any

apology except if they give it willingly” i said

to her and she stood up angrily.

” I’m not taking you back to my house if you

are keen on letting them go without having

to prove to the public that you were accused

wrongly” she said in a serious tone and got

out of the interrogation room slamming the

door as i embedded my head into my palm,

she placed me in a hard position,

” where would i stay if she kick me out”? I

asked myself rhetorically as my mind was in

disarray.

But i couldn’t do what she wanted Me to do,

not when i was now sure that it was the

supreme one’s handiwork.

” maybe it was also the supreme one’s plan

to have her kick me out of her house ” i

assured myself blankly in order to give

myself some false hope.

After some minutes of deliberation by

myself, i stood up and opened the door of

the interrogation room to get out, i saw

Joyce standing in front of the door, i

thought she was also about to open it and

come inside before i first her to it.

We both stood their looking at ourselves

waiting for the first person who is going to

speak.

” why do you want me to press charge

against them” i asked her in order to know

her reason for insisting on it.

” I can’t bear to see them treat you this way

and get away with it, my heart and mind

was chattered when i saw you in the news,

that you’re been accused of kidnapping, i

can say it confidently that you’re the cutest

and most handsome man on earth and that

kind of treatment against you is uncalled for

,you’re supposed to be treated like a kind

and not a criminal, and I can’t stand it to

have my future son inlaw treated this way

without clearing the shit from the public

mind” she enunciated and i was surprised

with her last statement tho i shouldn’t be

but i couldn’t help myself but be.

” and why did you think me as your future

son inlaw”? I asked her stupidly when i

didn’t find a soothing reply to give her

” i don’t think miss Efe is fond of me ” i

added

” she’s very fond of you, i knew it but she

didn’t want to show it because she hasn’t

gotten over the betrayal she felt from her

former guy and even if she doesn’t want

you,a i knew Peace will prefer having you as

her husband than all the properties her

father left for her” she replied me with a

tone and look that depict that she was

serious with her reply.

” but i don’t have any feelings for her or

miss Efe” i said in almost a whisper

” you don’t need to do now, when you stay

with each other for some time, feelings will

started growing automatically ” she replied

holding my two hands

” but i am not going to press the charge and

i don’t think any feeling is going to grow”

” is it because of that girl”? She asked with a

serious tone and i didn’t reply her

” you’ve been charmed by her beauty, that

was why you’re reluctant to press the

charge you ingrate” she screamed at me

releasing my hand.

She stormed towards the door of the

interrogation room and suddenly stopped

when she was about to get out and turned

to look at me

” but her beauty doesn’t deserve you, you’re

too pretty for her, you can follow me in my

car to get your belongings from my house,

that i can do for you ” she said and stormed

out of the room.

The journey to her house was done in pin

drop silence, Peace was also silent, she

couldn’t say anything when her mom had

screamed at her to keep shut when she was

pestering her to tell her what happened.

My mind reminisced into what happened in

the police station after everything had been

settled

” I’m very grateful for what you did for me

and i owe you for this and I’m also sorry”

Ranking said shaking my hand.

Tabitha hugged me deeply and whispered

into my ear that she was very sorry for what

she did, i would trade that hug for all the

days I’ve spent on earth, i was very happy

and didn’t want it to end. The DPO also

accolade me for my decision and apologized

to me for the foul treatment i received from

his officers.

As Joyce car drove into the big gate of her

house, i alighted and head straight to the

guest room and got my armour and sword

which i neatly wrapped with my white robe.

” what’s happening mom”? Peace asked

Joyce as see saw me came out with my little

belongings in my hand.

“Ben is leaving” Joyce replied her

” no mom, ask him to stay” Peace pleaded

with tears

“he’s already made up his mind and there’s

nothing i can do about it” she replied Peace

and left the sitting room heading to her

room

“please don’t leave, if it’s because of my

behavior towards you ,i promise that I’m

going to change ,i won’t pester or threaten

to kiss you again” Peace pleaded to me with

tears smearing her beautiful face.

I moved closer to her and embraced her

“thank you and I’ll miss you” i whispered

into her ear before disengaging the hug

and left her and head out of the sitting

room ,I heard Peace wailing and i pitied the

girl but there was i could do, as i was about

to open the gate, i heard peace called my

name and i stopped, she ran towards me

and hugged me

“i think I’m entitled to this” she whispered

to me as she stood on her toes in order to

be able to be of the same height with me

and looked deep into my eye before she

covered the gap between us and locked her

lip with mine.

She kissed me deeply exploring my mouth

with her tongue, i wanted to stop her but

couldn’t bring myself to do it.

I thought she was truly entitled to it.

She took her time kissing me like her life

depended on it and truth be told, i

responded a little to it.

After she’s kissed me to her satisfaction,ma

ybe for 20 minutes or more, she disengaged

the kiss, and bid me bye as she ran back

inside.

I felt weak after the kiss, it was like i lost

some strength at that moment but i still had

some left to trek.

And during the course of the walking ,i felt

the lost strength returning.

By the time i got to Ranking’s house, it was

already late.

My plan was to use the favor that he said he

owed me to tell me to give accommodation

in his house ,”but what if he didn’t grant

it,what will happen to me” i contemplated

within myself as i stood in front of the huge

gate of the house thinking if i should knock

it or not.
