2 Days Later…
Maria came out of her
bathroom, dress in a pink
gown, she stepped out of the
house, looked around
the compound, then entered her husband’s hummer
jeep. She walked towards it,
pressed a button from
the key and the door unlocked,
she got in the car
and drove out of the compound. As she entered the main road,
her phone rang then
she looked at the phone and
then looked back at
the drive way. It kept ringing,
she picked up the phone and answered it, she
then put the phone on
her ear and was silent
“Hello am I speaking with Mrs.
Maria Martins” a
voice said “Who wants to know” she
replied
“This is inspector Bayo calling
from Area D police
station, Lagos Island”
“So?” she replied without concern
“Well madam, we need to have
a little conversation
with you in our station”
“I ain’t got that time for a police
chat” she said “Madam, your car was in an
accident two days ago,
we need to have a chat
because things are a little
off” he said and she hanged up
She headed for the police station; she parked her
car in the compound and
walked in
“Good day can I help you?” A
policeman on the
counter asked “No you can’t and by the way
am Maria Martins”
she said and he knew she was
the one they were
waiting for
“Ok this way please” he said and directed her to
the DPO’s office. She walked
into the DPO’s office
and sat down, the DPO was a
little surprised
“Excuse me madam, who are you?” he asked
“What, you called for Maria
Martins, so here I am”
she said
“O sorry madam” he replied and
quickly picked up his telephone and called Bayo
to his office
“Sir” Bayo said standing beside
Maria
“Please sit” the DPO said to
Bayo “Thank you sir”
“This is Maria Martins, so you
can ask your
questions” the DPO said; Maria
was busy with her
phone playing Frontline Commando
“Thank you sir, Madam it’s nice
to meet you” he
said but she was concentrated
on her phone
ignoring him “Well, your car was involved in
a fatal accident
2days ago with a lady who was
your friend Audrey,
she was on the passenger’s
seat and the funny thing was that no one was on
the driver’s seat. It
happened that she was the only
one in the car and
that was kind of funny” he said
“That doesn’t sound funny to me” she said still
concerned with her phone.
Bayo was surprised that
she wasn’t taking this seriously
“Yeah I know it’s not funny it’s
just a figure of speech but what really
happened? Who did you lend
your car to? Who went out with
your car?” he asked
“Do you know why I love this
game?” she asked Bayo, ignoring his question.
Bayo looked at the
DPO with surprise thinking if
she’s mad or
something
“Everything about this commando is infinity
meaning he cannot be killed, his
weapons are so
powerful and indestructible” she
said concentrating
“Excuse me I asked you a question” he said she
then raised her head
“O you did yes, am sorry. No
actually” she said and
continued
”What do you mean by no?” he asked
“I didn’t give out my car” she
said
“Then how did it get involved in
that accident?” he
asked “I killed her” Maria said and he
was silent for
sometime
“Excuse me? I don’t get you” he
said
“Yes I killed her” she said raising her head, now
Bayo was really angry
“Look madam, I am showing
you some respect here
but don’t make me use the
method of the mainland police on you” he said angrily,
the DPO signaled him
to calm down
“I drove the car into the other
lane straight to an
incoming trailer” she said demonstrating with her
hand, Bayo was fed up of all
the insane story
“Ok then, how did you survive”
the DPO said
“Well, I disappeared from the car” she said; Bayo
and the DPO looked at each
other
“Madam please be clearer” The
DPO said
“I told Audrey to choose, both I drive the car off
the bridge or drive it to an
incoming car and she
was silent, so I made the chose
for her” she said,
Bayo and the DPO were tired of the stories
“So you drove it to an incoming
car” the DPO said
“No not a car, a trailer exactly”
she said smiling,
the DPO picked up his phone and called
‘Please send in the girl” he said
and hanged up and
not long a girl came in and Bayo
stood up
“Maria, this lady works for Audrey, she said you
both left the boutique together in
your car am just
surprised you were not in the
accident” Bayo said
“Are you dumb? I said I killed her” Maria said loudly
“Then you are under arrest for
murder” he yelled at
her and she raised her head to
look at him as she
stood up “You yelled at me?” she asked
him
“Sit down now” he said loudly to
her
“Audrey killed my husband”
Maria said “We did a little digging on you,
your husband died in
an accident” Bayo said
“Yes, and it was Audrey’s fault,
if Audrey had died
my husband would still be alive” she said and
banged on the DPO’s desk
“Hey don’t do that in my office”
he said to her,
Maria looked at the table and
immediately two pens flew towards the DPO, one
entered his heart and
the other his throat, Bayo was
shocked and quickly
brought out his gun but
immediately Maria made him point the gun at the girl
“What are you doing?” Bayo
said trying to struggle To Be Continued…
