In the footage Enoch and I watched, a black Nissan Altima parked some meters away from where the accident happened, a man and a woman came out from the car and spoke for a while, standing in front of the car. The man was leaving when the lady went back to the car and drove to the direction of the man. Even though the man was not really on the road, she hit him with the car and drove off, leaving the man to die.
"Why aren't you talking? Who is she, and who owns the car?" Enoch asked again when he noticed I was lost in my own thoughts.
"It belongs to him, Edward, my fiancee, and I think the lady there is the girl he disappeared with, the same person I think sent the guys to me." I was a bit sorry for myself when I said that.
"But why do you say so, how sure are you that the car belongs to him?" Enoch asked, making me angry.
"You don't believe me right? Just look at the numbers plate, the name there is EKL 2, the same name on Edward's car, and even his father has the same name on his car but with the number 1.
That name only belongs to the Lanquai family, so that girl is definitely my betrayal friend, but I don't know why she's out to get me, I never did anything against her" I said at the veg of tires.
" Queen, calm down, I never said I don't believe you, I just wanted to know how sure you are, and that you are not mistaking." Enoch said.
"Gideon! Let go it's late." I didn't know Gideon was still out of the car untill I heard Enoch's voice calling him.
He drove the car to where I'll get a cab after insisting they can't take me home, and this time, Enoch said goodbye to me, not in words though, but since he hugged me and said "Take care, I'll see you again soon." before I entered the cab he paid for, I'll take it as his way of saying goodbye.
I presented the footage to the head of investigation, Mr Awuku, and told him everything I've discovered. He watched the video to confirm what I said and asked me to get Enoch there for them to take his statement, so I gave his number to Mr Awuku. I didn't want to be the one calling him, for him to think I missed him.
<<<<<
I knew I'll be called to go and give my statement, but I didn't think it was going to be this fast. I needed sometime away from Abigail, so I could think straight, and also make sure I don't capture that moisturize lips of her's in my, because I knew it won't end there if I do.
But just the morning after the night I parted ways with her, I was called to go and give my statement in the same office she works. Infact it feels like headache when am around her, and I didn't want to be close to her anytime soon.
I couldn't say no to the CID who called me, but to hell would I go right away, to make Abigail feel that I missed her, no way, am a man and I have to be strong. Moreover I had someone to dell with if I want to be with Abigail.
Since Abigail doesn't know my rank yet, let them think am at work and needs permission to come, that way they'll be patient with me. That's why I decided to go in two weeks time, thinking it'll never come. But there I was, getting ready to go to my headache, and me of all people, didn't even know what to wear.
I got there and called Abigail to come pick me up from the bus stop, pretending I don't know where the police station is. I saw those three girls who were insulting her on the last day of the sensitization program, but they ignored me even when I greeted them, not like I care but am just playing my cards well.
I saw Abigail coming and she was in a hurry as if she was meeting someone very important to her, and even in uniform, she still looked so beautiful. I knew she was going to ask me questions, but I already had the answer for her.
"Good day, how are you doing? You are welcome. Hope you haven't been here for long? Where's Gideon, or you didn't come with him today?" Abigail asked all at once immediately she got to where I was waiting for her.
"So many questions at once hah? At least wait for me to respond to your greetings, and tell you how well I am, before asking me about your favorite man, Gideon. He's at work, just like I should be." I answered. Knowing she'll ask of him, my answer was prepared.
" And why didn't you come with the car you've been moving around in, I could've direct you to the station instead of you standing in the sun like this." Abigail said and I felt she cares for me.
"When there's no Gideon, how can there be a car, can we at least talk about me?" I said and noticed a bit of embarrassment on her face, but she kept quiet and just lead the way to her office.
I didn't want to talk about the car, because I intentionally left it home, so I could be with her for long. Even though being with her felt like poison in my body, I think am beginning to like how it feels.
I knew it was almost time for her to close from work when I was almost than with giving my statement, so all I had to do was to delay with what am was writing, and I could see her house if she agrees.
I came out from the office when I was done and I saw a lonely figure sitting on a bench under a tree at the left side of the office. "But why is she there all by herself when the others are sitting in groups chatting? Is that how lonely she gets at work everyday?" I thought.
"Queen! am done here. What are your plans for today? Why are you alone" I needed to play my last card, hopefully she'll invite me to her house.
"It nothing, I just like to be alone, I'll see you off first, then I'll go home to get some forms and go to our headquarters to see if I'll get references for my passport forms." Abigail said.
Wow, I hit a jackpot, a huge one as that, but I have to be careful with my words, I can't just invite myself to her house.
"But why go that far, I can help you fill it if you want, I can be one of the references and I'll get the remaining from both mine and your headquarters." I offered with hope.
"But the forms is not here, it's in the house, unless you come with me to my house, so I don't think it's possible." she said.
" I can consider, after all am not in a hurry, but I'll do it on one condition, you'll have to invite me yourself, I don't go places uninvited." I knew what I was doing when I said that.
"Okay if you say so, can you come with me to the house, so you can help me?" She said not knowing the trap she just fell into.
----------
We got to the house and everything looked good for me, even though it wasn't decorated luxuriously, every corner of the house looked neatly clean, as if she was prepared to receive a visitor or something.
I sat and started filling the forms after snacking on the drink and biscuits she served me, but I couldn't take my eyes off her body when she kept going to and fro the kitchen and the room, after changing into a straight but shot dress.
I called her to come close so I could explain to her how far I was with the forms and why I need to take it with me. I just didn't want her to know my rank, at least not now, so I even offered to submit the form myself, which she reluctantly agreed.
I kept looking at her as she read the forms I gave her, and for some odd reasons, I felt a strong arge to kiss her. Her lips kept parting and closing as she read the form. And she'll look at me now and then, but then she stopped and she was looking at my lips as if she wants to kiss me too, making me want her more.
Just as I was about doing something crazy, there was a knock on the door which I wished it never came. She went to open it and it was some girls from the secondary school in the town, saying they came to spend the night with her because they had an early morning exam and had to get to the school on time.
I don't know if they were my animes or her savour, because I was really getting in the mood to do something crazy.
