Episode 11
Still in front of Mr Nelsonâs residence, in the atmosphere of inquisitiveness, suspension and clarification. No doubt any of the members of Nelsonâs family knew about the book but who could that be?
Dera shook her head negatively again which partially proved that she had no knowledge of the book, then all stared at Vera, the twin sister, to clarify herself too. Of course she saw her brother, Michael, picking something on the last day of the red moon but didnât have the courage to tell the police. Rather she asked, âWhat book is that?â
âItâs a Death Noteâ Laman, next in command to Mr Nelson in the force replied. His investigating skills was perfect and reliable. He had carried a lot of investigations positively. His physical appearance has the ability to let one know how serious he is with his job which was one of the reasons Vera relented in telling them about seeing Mike picking something on that day. Now that Mr Nelson has, in one way or the other become a suspect, Laman has taken charge.
âDeath Note?â Vera repeated thoughtfully.
âYes, Death Noteâ Mr Nelson, the father, interfered. âHave you heard about the story of Shakiti?â
âYes, Dad!â Deraâs voice came clearly. âShakiti, the God of death who kills by just writing a name on a book called.. called.. the.. death.. noteâ the voice slowly went down at the calling of the note coz she was beginning to understand the reality of the story. âDad, is the story real?â she quiried.
âYes, Dera, a meteorologists called Gizifa discovered the falling of the note at this region before he was killed by Kira. No doubt Kira is using the note to killâ
âOh my God!â Dera glanced at her sister.
Verything became clear to Vera coz she remembered again how Lucky and Michael reacted to the breaking news on Gizifaâs death the previous day. She also remembered how strange the brother had been behaving for the past months, then concluded that he was the one who picked the book, hence, heâs Kira!!
She looked at Laman. âSir, there is no such book here. Moreover, the book must have fallen on the road where someone else might have picked it, so⊠â she shrugged her shoulders up with hands spread sideways.
The father took over from her. âOfficer Laman, she just told you the truth. To clear your doubts, you can search the house and even the exterior premesisâ
âThank you for the permission, sirâ Laman ordered two other policemen â one searched the interior while another the exterior.
All watched silently on how they searched everywhere, which in the process, Dera went closer to her father and held him round the waist emotionally. He patted her back to assure her that everything would be fine. His mind also went to his son, Michael, but couldnât believe Mike must have found the book, hence became Kira. No.
Suddenly, the men returned. The one who searched around the exterior came back with a small pendulum bob.
âI found thisâ he handed it to Laman.
After taking a good look at the bob, he said looking at the family. âDo any of you know what this thing is?â
âNoâ Mr Nelson replied while the daughters shook their head negatively.
Laman tried to know if the bob can be opened. After rubbing fingers on it hardly, it cracked opened in the presence of all, then he saw an image of a baby. He closed it back immediately and looked up at Mr Nelson. âWhereâs your son, sir?â
âAt school, any problem?â
âWere you told he was seen at the crime scene of one Nelly Horb whom he claimed to be his girlfriend?â
âOf course Iâm a police officer, I knew about it; the men who wanted to take advantage of the girl was killed by Kiraâ
âHmmm..â Laman thought for a while. âPlease, let your son know that we will like to see himâ he put the bob in his pocket.
âSure, donât forget Iâm with you on this quest of knowing who Kira is. As far as Iâm concerned, Kira must be brought to justice and executedâ
âYes sirâ Laman gave a weird smile as they proceeded out the premesis.
:
News circulated the town that Kira kills by knowing oneâs name and seeing his face. People took both precaution and caution, some changed their names while many, especially criminals refused to constantly show their face in public â social media.
Back to campus where two students were shot dead by cultists, people gathered around watching the lifeless body of the poor students. Nelly and Lucky werenât exception. As they watched, they surveyed the environment to know if Michael could be found somewhere too, but that proved negative.
Nelly dragged Lucky aside. âIâm so scared! Where is Mike?â she said almost with a crying voice. The books in her hands occasionally wanted to fall off but she held them tightly closer to her chest tapping her feet in an overwhelming qualm.
âI donât knowâ Lucky brought out his phone again. âHope we were together when he suddenly disappearedâ he placed the phone on his ear then brought it down. âHis line is still offâ
âOh God! What if he was captured by the cultists?â
âI have no ideaâ Lucky placed hands on his waist staring at one spot. âI know nothing gonna happen to him wherever he is nowâ
Nelly stared at him. âWhy so sure?â her eyes moved down to his waist where his hands rested confidentially.
âBecause Kira wonât let him dieâ
âBut Kira allow these two students to be shot deadâ
âSoon, those who shot them dead will be announced dead by Kiraâ
âHow would Kira know them when they were not captured and shown on television?â
âBecause Michael was right here when the incident happenedâ Lucky left, leaving her dumbfounded. He made her think for the second time that Michael is Kira, but there was no enough evidence to prove that. Therefore, she became woozy winking her eyes continuously.
