Dayo's angel episode 17
‘CALL ME WALE, SOMETHING CAME UP’
Dayo sent a message to his lawyer and slid into the car and drove away quickly, he was afraid someone might be following him, so he decided to go to Kayode’s house.
‘Is he gone’? Moyo rose to her feet as Shantal came into her room.
‘Yes, did anything happen? It seemed you needed to tell me something’ Shantal asked eagerly.
‘He slipped a note into her hand; we’re yet to read it’ Linda replied.
‘Are you sure? How was he able to do that? Weren’t the boys watching’? Shantal asked in surprise.
‘I don’t know, from the way he looked at me, it seemed he knew me from somewhere and he came here to help me, he was so sharp about it, one minute he stroked my hand, the next minute, I felt something in it. I am super nervous right now’ Moyo’s hands shook as she dropped the yellow paper on her bed..
‘Take a deep breath and read it, it’s for you’ Linda said.
‘Alright, Alright’ Moyo unfolded the paper and realised it was a long sheet, her disappointment came when she realised nothing was written on it.
‘What is it?’ Shantal and Linda asked at the same time.
‘It’s empty, there’s nothing written on this paper’ Moyo’s hope sank.
‘Nothing’? Linda snatched the paper from her and studied it carefully.
‘Why would he take the pains of slipping an empty note to me? That man is a psycho, how could he raise our hopes’? Moyo hissed angrily.
‘Now don’t call him names, the patient dog eats the fattest bone’ Linda smiled as she realised the secret tied to the paper.
‘What are you talking about’? Shantal stared at her.
‘It seems her that whoever Mr Sheik was, knows Moyo and is trying to send her a message, now get me a glass of water, let’s do some tricks’ Linda smiled.
She’d seen such a paper before; her father had used it several times whenever he was sending letters to her mum. The paper once dipped into a chemical transformed into another colour and all the writings on it disappeared only to reappear once the paper was soaked in water.
‘Why? What do you want to do’? Moyo wondered.
‘Don’t ask questions; bring that glass over there’ Linda pointed to the glass on her dressing table.
‘Let’s see what Mr Sheik has for us’ she poured the water generously on the yellow sheet of paper.
Like magic, the paper turned white and faint black ink became very bold.
‘Geez, how could you do that?’ Moyo’s mouth fell open.
‘Question and answer session over, now read the note’ Linda ordered her..
MOYO,
I am a lawyer who is working closely with someone that really cares about you. He’s been searching for you over a month now. Your parents were murdered in cold blood, I was at the scene of the murder, that was how I traced the harem and hoped I’d find you there. If you ever get to read this note, it’s a promise, we’ll find a way to get you out, be patient. Dayo sends his love.
‘Dayo? My parents dead’? Moyo’s lips shook as she read the note.
‘What is it?’ Shantal asked.
‘Her parents were murdered in cold blood from what the note says’ Linda wondered if the Dayo mentioned in the text was her brother. Her heart fluttered at his kindness.
‘Dayo is looking for me, that’s consolation enough’ Moyo wiped her face, who killed her aunt and her husband? She wondered.
Suddenly the door flung open and Cindy rushed in looking like she saw a ghost.
‘Larkin has returned’ she announced and Shantal rushed out of the room.
‘Of course, he was bound to return’ Linda replied dryly.
‘He didn’t return alone, Adaeze is with him’ Cindy replied and Linda rose to her feet.
He was beyond furious, Shantal had not been lying, so Abu could betray him that way? after everything, he’d done for the boy.
‘Larkin please don’t kill me, I don’t deserve this, I obeyed all your orders, I impersonated Adaeze for many years, I promise to deliver’ Adaeze cried as his men dragged her roughly.
‘Shut up bitch, I trusted you, I picked you up from the streets and now you turn against me? Abu is dead, you’ll be next and you’ll serve as a lesson to whoever tries to defy me again’
Larkin punched her belly and she screamed.
‘Please! One last chance’ Ada cried knowing what awaited her.
She’d seen the bullet pass through Abu, there was no hope for her and Dayo? He’d never see her again.
‘Take her to the dungeon’ Larkin ordered his boys and they took her away.
‘Come in’ Larkin screamed at whoever was knocking.
‘You’re welcome sir, I took care of the Harem while you were gone, everything is on board’ Shantal gave him a detailed report of how she’d handled things.
‘You see Shantal, even the Bible had said it, the rejected corner stone shall become the chief Cornerstone, I am so proud of you, if you stay faithful to me, if you don’t turn on me like Abu did, one day you may own the Harem’ Larkin smiled.
‘Thank you sir’ she smiled and was ready to move out.
‘I hope Moyo took real care of our guest, that man is a money bag and we need him here’ Larkin asked.
‘Yes, yes, she took real care of him’ Shantal avoided his eyes.
‘Good. You can go’ Larkin dismissed her.
He needed to think, now Abu was dead, he realised the loophole in his plan, his mistakes became evident.
If the police were to be called in, they’d start an investigation and that didn’t sit well with the Harem.
Secondly, Dayo who was meant to be Adaeze’s brother would be on the lookout for his sister.
‘Then she also needs to die’
he decided to kill Adaeze but first, he needed to drill out all the information she had buried inside of her.
‘Here are the papers’ Emem wondered if Kayode was really being honest with her, but she decided to follow her heart, he seemed like a changed person.
‘Thanks darling, I promise to tell you about this once the time is ripe. It really shows you love me and I promise to reciprocate that’ he kissed her cheek.
‘Thanks’ she whispered.
‘Someone is here’ Emem was the first to hear the horn, who would visit them at such an odd hour?
‘Dayo, why is he here’? Kayode rushed to the door.
‘I need your help! Get my first aid box from the car, this man is terribly injured’ Dayo called to his friend as he dragged the injured man into the house.
‘What’s this about’? Emem rushed to help him, the man bled profusely from his chest region.
‘Ada has been kidnapped by some men, this man was talking to her and they shot him, I didn’t want to risk my life by returning home, in case I was being followed’ Dayo explained in a rush.
‘Kidnapped oh my God’ tears welled up in Emem’s eyes as she heard about her friend’s kidnapping.
