Moses woke up to find himself in a hospital bed. He looked around and soon realized the hospital he was in. It was his favorite. Wave Clinic. He began to think of the events that brought him here. He soon remembered Those words appeared before him.
"Do you miss her or should I make you?"
He took a deep breath again and clenched his fists. The fear he has been feeling has gone. It was refilled with a fresh wave of anger. The door pushed open as Elba walked inside.
"Hey pal" Elba greeted as he sat on the hospital bed.
"Yeah anything?" Moses asked as he adjusted his lying position.
"You'll be fine, the doctors said you're in stage A of heart failure"
" Don't mind my ill health. You know I didn't eat in the morning, that's why" Moses lied. At this, they laughed together as Moses's obvious lie opened up before them.
"But true talk, I did not eat in the morning" Moses said still standing his ground. Elba still held the pin in his hands as he was waiting for the perfect opportunity to pierce it through Moses's soft and fragile skin. The door pushed open again and this time it was Detective Rod. He noticed his eagle sharp eyes and how it quickly located the small piece of metal on his fingers.
"Hey I think I've met you" Elba said as he threw the pin under the bed as well as extended his hands for a handshake.
"Detective Robert Roderick, I work for SSS" he replied
"I'm Elba Jerry Nah, assistant manager of Access Bank "
"Okay, thanks for the info, I would love to deliver a personal message to my client that requires utmost privacy" Elba smiled and looked at Detective Rod. On the outside, he was smiling, but in the inside, he had killed him in ten different ways.
"Alright, we'll meet again Moses" Elba said as he walked out of the room. As he walked out, he was obviously angry. Who is this nonsense Detective Roderick and why is he interfering in his affairs. He needed to inform the Jumbo Quadrant and tell them to end him. With this in his mind, he left the hospital.
Moses narrated to Detective Rod what happened in his house starting from the door poster to the message on his phone. Detective Rod nodded his head in agreement as the story went in line with his investigations.
"I've sent my men to interview and have a database of all your workers as well as the forensics team are analyzing the posters"
" So what was the personal message you wanted to deliver to me" Moses asked as he sat upright. Detective Rod looked round as of he was looking for something and then faced Moses .
"When will you be discharged?"
"Tommorow by twelve noon. " Detective Rod nodded his head again.
" You see this people? " he said as he showed Moses his tablet. They were his board of directors and other reputable people in his company.
"Yes"
"Avoid them, for now"
"Why but they're my friends, without them, my company would ...."
"You have to choose between your company or your life Moses." He looked under the bed and brought out the pin Elba was holding earlier.
" A typical example. Elba wanted to stab you with this for reasons I don't know" Detective Rod said. At this Moses froze in shock. He remembered the saying that goes
" Trust your enemies more than your friends"
And he knew what this meant. It wasn't his enemies that kidnapped his wife, rather it was his trusted friends.
"Okay okay, if you choose not to avoid them, remember that a rat dies from eating a delicious meal, not a poison trap" He stood up and walked towards the door.
" Where are you going?"
"To the lab, to analyze the pin" . The door closed and Detective Rod was seen no more.
