CRAZY SIDE CHICK

#Chapter_20

"You have a few minutes to talk," announced the detective that brought Mwewa into the CID office.

Mwewa was made to sit in a chair apart,with a big wooden table between him and Majory.Mr Binwell Tembo stood up, turned away and cleared his throat and before he walked out of the room,he told Mwewa," you must see me as soon as you get out of this place."

"Yes,sir" answered Mwewa.

When it was only the two of them in the small hall or office, silence broke in until Mwewa tried to speak," I...I messed up.Please.."

Majory rose a 'stop gesture' on him," please! You don't know how hard am trying not to believe this betrayal,do you? Please... don't utter a word about it at least not now....I hear that you'll be let free soon.What are your plans after that?"

Wondered Mwewa,"I...I..I just want to come home and fix my marriage after this big lesson on me."

"Really?Well,good luck," said Majory."I just want to tell you that I will be going back to school before you get home,and please!I repeat Please!I need space."

"You trying to say that we are going on a separation?" Asked Mwewa.

"Whatever" she answered," but I need space."

Mwewa decided to remain silent as she walked out of the hall.But when she disappeared through the doorway,he hit his fist on the table and cursed," damn you Mwewa!"

But a day later Mwewa was found not wanting by the police.The informations and evidences gathered by the detectives were all in good favour upon his freedom: The two as.sassins had earlier confessed having had implicated him for the mur.der cases using his IDs,and now Mwaka whom the criminals had dragged into their crimes as their inciter,was now believed to be on the run after a successful kidnap.ping by Mubita.Whatever happened to Mwaka, but his only worry now was Daniel.

He had some questions he wanted answers.Just,why did Daniel Beat up Mwaka that night?So when he got released,Mwewa visited Daniel in another cell.A police officer called Daniel to come by the bars to talk with his visitor.

Anxiety struck Daniel came by the bars and met Mwewa.

"Hey man," said Mwewa.

"Hi.I guess you going home?" Daniel replied.

"Sure," said Mwewa," but am confused boi,how did you find yourself in this?"

Daniel wiped his face with a hand and gently said," man you got me into this."

"How?" Asked Mwewa.

"Man,when you went missing I got really worried and I couldn't think of anyone else to have known your whereabouts but your girlfriend Mwaka.I was angry.The company needed you and your family was worried.And it ate me up because my friend went missing on the day you were supposed to be elevated to the highest position of SD Rides,as the new MD! What could I have done?I had to confront that b*tch.But in the process,she slapped me and i couldn't take the nonsense.I hit back.So hard.Unfortunately,she got hurt that she lost the pregnancy.You didn't want that pregnancy anyway,so everything just happened in your favour."

Mwewa listened to Daniel emotionally.He was skipped out of words seeing his best friend in this mess 'all' because of a single cheat of his marriage life! But was his emotional thoughts as things really were with Daniel?No.Daniel was a masked friend of two characters and oh poor Mwewa never saw a thing about his best friend!

"I'm really sorry my friend,I will try and find a way to get you out of this mess.Please be strong," Mwewa said.

"I hope so.I hope that you don't forget about me and this tribulation," said Daniel,"I know you can get me out of here.You are a powerful man,so is your father_in_law.Please don't let me to rot in here boi.Its hell in here!"

"You are my best friend,I can't forget anything about you my guy."

When Mwewa tried to walk out as instructed by the police officer,Daniel stopped him and said," and am sorry I told Majory and her father about your secret affair with Mwaka."

"You did?"

"Am sorry but I thought it was the easiest way to getting close to finding you when you went missing..." Said Daniel.

Mwewa had better heard this from Daniel himself before he was told by either his wife or his father_in_law or he was going to suspicious of a wrongly intended Daniel.He was going to see Daniel trying to dent and tarnish him.

"Man," said Mwewa a little closer to Daniel,"I messed up and I accept the consequences.I was going to tell my wife myself anyway.Its just time for the truth.I messed up and I will tell it exactly the way it happened."

"Good," said Daniel.

The police man persisted,"Hallo time is up!"

Later and soon,Mwewa stood out in a fresh breeze,a differently flowing breeze healthier than the one in cells, outside the police premises.His eyes caught a mumbling sound and he saw a group of some journalists who had been following up the murder cases he was involved approach him.And upon being seen by the small crowd the vocal sounds grew louder pushing for an interview.But Mwewa asked the police to prevent the journalists from blocking his way.The police helped him shy away from the media by leading him towards their vehicle.

But negative to his expectations,,Mr Binwell Tembo's car was in the police parking lot,and Mwewa was reached by Mr Binwell Tembo's driver.

"Good afternoon sir," greeted the driver.

"Yes,how are you?"

"Am fine sir.Mr Tembo sent me to pick you up," said the driver.

"Why?The police have offered to drive me home," said Mwewa.

"He said I should take you home to freshen up and thereafter take you to SD Rides to meet him," Explained the driver.

"Is there any problem?"

"I don't know,sir," said the driver.

Hesitatingly,Mwewa hopped into the car and the driver took him home.The gate was electronic but Kupa the house keeper opened it manually and the car parked in.

"Ba Boss!" Kupa was excited to see Mwewa again and he greeted his master delightedly.It had been a few days without seeing anyone in this compound and he had been worried until today.

Mwewa was fascinated by the genuine welcome Kupa gave him.How cozy were surroundings and it's fresh air for Mwewa to be home again after a few days of horror! Except that his dear wife was not home.She had been to her father's since her recovery from the trauma,and now she was soon going to get back to school, leaving Mwewa with no chance to make up with her or explain himself.

I will have my home back in place,I promise you this Majory my love.He thought as he unlocked the door to the house.

How he would have still liked to spend a longer moment here but Mr Binwell Tembo's driver waited for him in the car and he had to meet the Director or his father-in-law at SD Rides this Afternoon.

Staring out the bars, Daniel visualized his upcoming trials in court for assault and manslaughter.His company behind him, the west kids,laid down on the floor shirtless taking a nap as it was too hot in the cell.

Then,Mubita came by the bars from outside the cells with a parcel in his hands,escorted by a police man who stood a distance.He had reported at the reception as a friend to one of the inmates and that he had brought food for the friend.

The west kids joined Daniel by the bars to hear from Mubita and chat him up.

"Mission Accomplished," whispered Mubita," what's next?"

Daniel did not look like this was news worth of delight,he had other obstructions on the way.His crime had unexpectedly doubled up on his Assault charge.And it was going to be difficult for anyone to bail him out apparently.But he was still hopeful with the promised help and the apparent sympathy of Mwewa,he would be squeezed out of prison.

"There's a serious case against me," said Daniel.

"What case? Assault?You can still be bailed out with money involved.Especially that the girl has turned out to be a culprit now, believed by the police ,to have been the instigator of the crimes committed by the west kids." said Mubita.

"She lost her pregnancy to the beating I gave her that's how the crimes have doubled up," said Daniel.

"What?" Mubita realized how deep Daniel was dipped in the mess," this means I can't bail you out as planned.Thats now a mu.rder case.So what's next?"

"My only hope of getting out of here is Mwewa," said Daniel.

"What if Mwewa doesn't help you out of here?"worried the west kids," we are going to prison with you right?"

Daniel did not answer and appeared hopeless.

"Look," said Mubita," My job is done.I have the girl locked up in the basement of your house as you asked.I want you to settle me as agreed."

"But how do I settle you in here?" Asked Daniel.

"Tell me where the Title deeds of your house are and I will get everything finalized.I will only need your signature and it will be done from here."

Daniel said," what about the girl?"

"She will remain to di.e in the cellar and I will bury her," said Mubita.

"Please make sure she di.es."

Mwewa finally reached the SD Rides.Mr Binwell Tembo waited for his presence up in his office.So he took the stairs up.He found Mr Binwell Tembo sitted with the company auditor.

Mr Binwell Tembo did not look happy even upon Mwewa's arrival.He silently gestured at Mwewa to join the Auditor in the guest chairs of the Director's office table.

"Mr General Manager," began Mr Binwell Tembo," while you were on vacation with the police,we had a thorough investigation in your branch manager's previous transactions of this company.And my Auditor here has reported that huge colossal sums of money have been stolen from the company by your Branch Manager,Daniel.Are you not aware of this?"

"What?" Mwewa pretended.The fact was that he had been in this together with Daniel.They had both been stealing from the company and keeping secrets between them.And each time the auditor tried to do his job,Mwewa and Daniel would find ways to distract him.

"When did this happen?" Asked Mwewa.

"I should be asking you!You are the General Manager and you report to me.I don't report to you!" Said Mr Binwell Tembo angrily.

"Yes,sir," said Mwewa.

"So why didn't I receive this report earlier from you?"

"Iam sorry sir," Mwewa ran out of words.

"You are sorry?" Said Mr Binwell Tembo," I won't tolerate this incompetence!Besides I can't trust you guys anymore!"

"Please sir we can talk over this issue as family," said Mwewa without thinking.

"I don't mix my business with family!"said Mr Binwell Tembo," talk of family,you have failed as a family man too the last time I checked Mr Mulusa.So what family?"

Mwewa was speechless.

"I want that guy jailed!" Shouted Mr Binwell Tembo in conclusion.But seemingly his anger caught the heart_failing episodes of his cancer disease.He held his head and staggered out of his office chair and fell down unconscious.
