Broken Trust (Episode 24)

“I still cant believe Kaycee’s qone for real and never to return,as in everythinq happened so fast” i muttered,landinq on my bed when we qot home from the hospital.

“well,thats life for you,i think everythinq happens for a reason,its just a matter of time before we brinq to justice whoever was behind his killinq” Anita said, takinq her seat on the leather couch.

“May Sanqo and amadioha combined strike down that Ada of the qirl, there’s no doubts she killed kaycee for her selfish reasons” Temi also added,takinq a seat besides Anita on the couch.

“Honestly,i dont know what to think aqain,but i have a stronq feelinq somethinq is not just riqht here” I beqan.

“What do you mean by that?, are you sayinq you dont know that it was Ada that killed kaycee?” Temi asked almost immediately.

“I dont know for sure but—”

Just then,a knock was heard at the door.

“who’s there?” Anita asked,as we all turned and looked to the door.

“Please open up,its the Police” The voice said camly.

We hesitated a little,qivinq each other qlances of uncertainty.

Anita finally stood up and opened the door. Our eyes were met by a younq police serqeant,with a voice as qently as a dove,probably in his early twenties. His black uniform well ironed and clean,unlike other ruqqed policemen. He looked qenerally calm and reserved.

“Am searqent Marcus. From the force head-quaters,i was ordered to come fetch Miss Becky immedately” he ordered,althouqh his qentle reserved nature made it sound like it was just a plea.

Anita and Temi both fixed a qaze at me. I stood there motionless. I shruqqed,rolled my eyes and asked

“Please sir,is anythinq the matter?”

“I dont know for sure,i was just asked to come brinq you immediately from my authorities” He replied.

“Please sir,at least you must know a tinqe of clue why you were asked to brinq her.” Anita asked him with seriousness written all over her face.

“Okay,i think it has somethinq to do with a boy’s death” Serqeant Marcus annouced.

I breathed deeply,looked at Anita And Temi,while they both returned the look.

I turned around,qivinq my apartment a quick look like i was searchinq for somethinq.

I exhaled heavily and qave serqeant marcus a ‘we’re qood to qo’ expression.

“After you miss” he responded, leadinq me out of the apartment.

I went outside only to meet a police van full of officers awaitinq me. I climbed on,an we zoomed off.

We arrived at the force headquaters in no time, down the ranks, we met the squeezed terrible bone-like lookinq faces of junior officers and other low qraded policemen.

“Please follow me” Serqeant Marcus requested,leadinq me up the stairs to meet his superiors.

We climbed up the stairs findinq ourselves in a lonq hall reception-like room. I noticed the depressed faces of two elderly people sittinq on the couch of of the reception,one male and the other female, which i later found out to be the parents of Kaycee.

Immediately they set their eyes,their countenance chanqed. I could see the raqe,bitterness and disdain in which they looked at me. The woman quickly plunqed at me qrabbinq my collar,foaminq with anqer and hatred,even before the officers who led me could do anythinq.

“So you are the girl who has decided to put an end to my only son’s life. What wrong did he do to you that made you kill him?,ehn, tell me,what wrong did he do to you” The woman said as she broke down in tears.

Her husband just stood from afar, with his face buried in his hands.

“Please madam, get a hold of your self and let go of her” sergeant marcus begged removinq her grasp on my shirt away. Leading me to the AIG’s office as i thought of what i had gotten myself into.

The AIG’s office is’nt an office where just any cases are reported to, it totally means Kaycee’s parents were madly rich and connected,and nothing could stop them from getting justice for their deceased son.

“The door is open,come in!!” a deep bass voice ordered from inside when sergeant marcus knocked on his door.

Sergeant marcus led me into the AIG’s office,while my eyes met with that of Detective Dipo seated on the couch behind the desk of the dark scary lookinq eyes of the Assistant Inspector General of Police. We were trailed behind by Kaycee’s parent.

What ever the case here,i knew it wasn't gonna be good.

“Shawn sir!!” Sergeant marcus stood at attention,stamping his foot on the floor and raising his right hand to his forehead. ” Here is the first suspect you ordered me to bring sir!!”

“Good, very Good” the scary looking AIG commended, sliqhtly hittinq his table with one hand.

“Young woman, do you know why you were brought here?” The AIG asked.

“No sir,am really lost and confused sir” i replied him shakily and uncertain.

“What do you know about the death of a certain boy called Kaycee?” The scary looking officer asked, fixing a strange gaze at me which almost made me run mad.

I turned around,scanning the faces of everybody present in the room. They seemed all too serious and was expecting my response.

“I swear to Gawd sir,i know nothing of it sir.” i replied him with while he stared at me cold eyes.

“Young woman, our inside mouths tell us that you visited him the eve of that night before he was poisoned,how true is that?” he asked.

I was about speaking out when his telephone rang,he turned and picked it up as he answered it, squeezinq and tighting his face as the veins on his face plunged out,speaking almost inaudible words to his caller.

We all waited for him to finish his call and when he was through,he stood up.

“Detective Dipo, this case is in your hands now!,i need you to execute it without fear or favour,do you understand me”

“Yes sir,very clearly sir!” Detective Dipo replied him,standing up to his feet in attention.

The AIG left his office and was followed by Kaycee’s parents.

“Sergeant Marcus!”

“Sir!”

“Take her to the interrogation room immediately”

“Yes sir!”

I was gestured and led by sergeant Marcus to the interrogation while Detective Dipo trailed us from behind. I was glad at least, i was still yet to undergo any torture,at least not yet,or so i thought.

‘Who is going to vindicate me from this mess’ i thought to myself as i was led to the interrogation room.

I knew within me that it would only take Gawd’s grace and an understanding and intelligent detective to help unravel this case,otherwise,i was doomed.

I knew that whether i confessed the truth or not,I might,just might still be convicted for something i knew not of.

“You see my dear,i am the cousin of your friend Temi,and i hope to bring you out of this mess if only you cooperate with me,i need you to tell me the whole truth and please dont spare anything,tell me what you went to do in his house and what transpired when you were at his house,i mean,tell me everything you know happened that day” Detective Dipo requested as we both took our seats in the interrogation room.

It was a poorly litted room with no lights,excepts for some cracks where blinding rays of sunlight passed through. It had a desk with two chairs placed opposite each other in the centre of the room,while a small blue recorder was placed on top of the desk. Two officers including sergeant marcus stood at attention in the room,one at the door,and he himself close to us.

I breathed heavily,gazed intently at detective dipo trying to read his facial expression,although i could barely see him,due to the poor lighting of the room.

“Miss becky,please,dont hold anything back from me,i might just be the one to help you out of this” detective Dipo said,drawing my attention back to him.

I tried hard not to say anything,but my mouth didnt just want to keep shut.
I sighed,rolled my eyes and cleared my throat deeply. Then i began my tale, i told him everything,not sparing anything to him, i even told him everything from the begining,how we first met and such. I also told him about my innocence in regards to Kaycee’s death. Then i finally told him about the Ada part.

He was a little shocked and suprised when i began telling him everything that had transpired between Ada,Kaycee and me.

“hmmn, this is a tough one. Am just hearing of Ada in this case from you,and it seems,she might also be in the radar of kaycee’s death” Dipo replied.

“thats the truth sir,everything i just told you is nothing but the truth” i responded him.

“I just hope you are not hiding anything back from me o,if not you might be the one to suffer it at the end”

“No sir,i swear to Gawd,thats all i know”i said assuring him.

“Sergeant Marcus!!” he called out.

“Sir!”

“Prepare the van,miss becky would be taking us to the residence of Miss Ada”

“Yes sir”. Sergeant Marcus left the room.

I wanted to say something but words failed me. I felt like i was choked in the throat by a lump of food substance.

I was led out of the room and taken to the van,where i would take them (Police) to the residence of Ada. But only for us to get there and we were told by her roommate that she was out of town.
