The Call Girl - Season 1 - Episode 107

Jaime drops to his knees, Jimmy drops to the floor, choking out blood, Adam comes down the remaining steps lowing his hand. Jimmy had stopped moving. He was dead.

Jaime covers his face, pain rips through his heart, he cries.

Adam walks to the dead Jimmy, ”You don’t deserve prison” he whispers . ”The world is better without you in it” he turns away and walks to Jaime, he doesn’t say anything, he just places a hand on his shoulders, and allowed him cry.

If he hadn’t come on time, Jimmy would have killed Jaime, he wasn’t about to let that happen. Atleast, now everyone else would be save and those who had died because of him would be at peace now.

Adam had no regrets, but his heart pulled for the broken man who cried on his knees for a man who didn’t deserve his tear.

*
Jacob is placed on a stretcher and is wheeled outside followed by Gem and then Alexander, the police had the area covered, more medics had arrived.

Alexander kept looking around for Jaime, she saw Adam walking towards her, his shoulders bleeding, she rushes to him”Are you okay?”
He nods ”Just a graze”

”where is Jaime?”
He stares at her
”Where is Jaime Adam?” her heart catches in her chest

” i am here?” she looks over Adam’s shoulders to see Jaime walking towards them, she rushes to him grabbing him in a hug,

”Oh my God i thought i lost you!” she cries, he hugs her tight. Much more tighter.

”Jaime?”
He shakes his head, burying his face in her arms, she held him to herself and didn’t say a word, she knew he didn’t need words now, he needed to feel the pain, let it course through his body, so he can let it go. So he can heal. She held him and allowed him cry some more.

*

Salim found the connection between Jimmy and Gareth. He ordered his arrests and that of the other police officers in cohorts with him.

The went through Jimmy’s phone and then information and contact of the people he had working with him and those he did illegal businesses with abroad. Within the hour, Jude was picked up as well as some others. An international call was put across by the Chief of police, arrests were made overseas.
With all the evidence gathered, it was recorded that Jimmy Agreyo was a world class criminal, and the headlines were not friendly.

The case was closed.

*

A woman who had seen the news took the next flight into town and demanded to see her husband’s body. She wailed and cried that her husband was killed unjustly that he was no criminal, that he left home for work and she hadn’t heard from him since, only for her to see the news that he was dead and was a criminal.

She was told the details. Shocked to her bones, as she was leaving the station, she ran into Alexander and Jaime who were just leaving.

Shocked, she calls her name ”Alexander? ”
Alexander stares at her, recognizes her and then looks through her.
”Do you know her?” Jaime asks
”Once unpon a time, when i wished i had a mother” she turns away ”My mother is dead, this woman means nothing to me, she is as dead to me as her husband ” she turns and then walks away.

The woman sinks to her knees and didn’t stop crying, not for her husband this time, but for shame, for not seeing that her husband was an animal, a monster and a pervert, for the little girl who had survived all this torture, she cried for shame..for her own shame.
Then she got up, took the next flight and never spoke about her husband Kennedy Anderson again.

*
The news the next few mornings was still graphic and unbearable to watch . Jacob stares at the muted screen. Its been a few days since it happened.

He didn’t turn when someone walked in.
”Father?”
Jacob stares away from the Tv and then manages a smile
”Do you think you are up for this?” Jaime comes closer to him
‘He was still my son, i would pay my final respect to him, only God can redeem him now” he reaches for the walking stick, Jaime helps him off the bed and then helps him out of the room and the hospital.

*
Jaime and Jacob stood over the graveside. His gravestone read ” A son lies here Jimmy Agreyo ‘ that was all.

”I am sorry Jaime”
”What for father?”
”For not loving him enough, for making him think he was loved less, for all his pains and sufferings”

”It wasn’t your fault”
”I know.. still, i am sorry-for letting your brother have that strong hold on you for years without knowing, for not putting a stop to him even when he exhibited those bad characteristics. i am sorry he chose this road, i only pray that now he finds peace”
He bends down, gathers a handful of sand, he lets it slip through his fingers, Jaime does thesame. Then they stare at his graveyard for a long time. They turn and leave. They never visited his graveside again.

*

A few weeks Later…after the Mayor-ship Election.

”Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me present to you, the Mayor of Chocolate City, Mr Jaime Lockswire Wellington!!”

There was an uproar of happy clapping and cheers. The event was being held on the streets leading to Brooks place, one of the offside communities that were dangerous to live in, where Alexander and Tinny-B used to live in.

Jamie climbs the stage, waving, a wide smile on his face ”Thank you Chocolate City, and to celebrate my inauguration allow me present to you… ”Grand Central New Age City, a community with a difference. Let me call my father and ofcourse the board members who made this happen to come commission this project with me, and not to forgetting the Wellington women, come on here Mama, my future Wife–” he helps his mother and Alexander too.

Everyone claps..

They went ahead and commissioned the community and many more after then.

*

A month later……
Tinny-B steps away from her, a wide smile on her face ”Aren’t you the most beautiful bride that walked this earth?”

”Am i?”
”Yes you are” she smiles , there is a knock on their door

”We are ready for the bride” Someone calls out.

”Yes, she would be right out” she yells back and then stares at her best friend ” Ready Alexander?”

Alexander had the most beautiful smile ”I have never been this ready in my entire life, lets go get my man”
”Lets go” she opens the door for her, and walks with her to the entrance of the church, the big doors are then swung open, the music comes on almost immediately.

”Here comes the bride, all dressed in white-” she was ushered in with Tinny-B walking beside her. Adam was Jaime’s best man, the church was filled with family members, friends and colleagues and maybe the entire city.

As Alexander walked down the aisle, staring at Jaime, she knew that this was the beginning to her happy ever after. To fall inlove with a man as beautiful, as selfless and as wonderful as Jaime was – was pure bliss.
She remembered the moment she finally told him she loved him. It was a few nights after the horrible night at his party.

……

She walked up to him, he was staring out the window, his hand in his pocket, she hugged him from behind ”I am sorry” she whispered

”What for?”
”For the pain you are going through” she touches his chest, placing her hands where his heart is.
He rubs it ”it would heal” he breaths, ‘Why didn’t you ever tell me about Kennedy?”
”I was afraid you would be disgusted with me, love me less, never even dare touch me again , or maybe you send me away” she hid her face behind him,

He pulls away from her, turning her to face him ”I can never love you less. its just-” he stares away ”Every since that moment, i kept imaging what all he did to you and i fell helpless because even though i didn’t know you then and couldn’t help you, i could have done better in protecting you as he came for you again, i hate to be helpless and i hate i couldn’t protect you more- to think that he came back for you again, and i left you in danger, i left you in danger and at his mercy, to think if he had succeeded, i would have died”
she shakes her head ”I am sorry” she sniffs letting the tears flow

”No. Nothing, nothing in this life can make me feel disgusted with you. Nothing. it happened, you were a child helpless to stop him-”

”But i begam to live the life and–”
”Shhhsss” he held her face, caressing it ”I love you Alexander, have you not been listening? i love you”
”Why, why me?” she questions him, staring into his eyes

”I think that’s the beauty, of not knowing why we love who we love, and not knowing keeps it burning for us..but i want you to know, that i would chose you over and over again. I would love you today, tomorrow, forever and a day more.”

She smiles ”It baffles me till now that despite me not saying those words to you -you don’ care” she wraps her arms around him

”Oh Alexander, do you think i don’t know?”

”Know what?”
”Girl, why i don’t bother really is because i knew the moment you started loving me, i mean, i am a patient man and i kinda like making you feel as though you can hide it from me. ”

”What?” she hits him, he laughs and lifts her to the bed ”When?”
”How i know is the little things ; the way you look at me, the way you smile when i walk into the road, the way you squirm to my every touch and kiss,” he kisses her cheeks, lips and then neck, she giggles
”The way you laugh, the way you call me a thousand times during the day to check on me, the way you go ” Jaime you silly silly man ” she laughs

”The stars in your eyes when you say ” You know you got me all loved up Jaime Lockswire and i like it, i ilke it alot” she laughs again
”The way you hug me, the way you kiss me, the way you want to know what i am doing at every point in time and then check up on me, the way you indirectly threaten the life out of me ” Jaime you better get home in time for dinner else i would come to your ofice and drag you by the balls” its scary but cute ”
”Hey, i am always joking” she pokes him, he laughs

”I know, but still, the way you can’t go to sleep unless i hold you close like this” he pulls her closer to his body, the way you call my name, the way your heart begin to beat really fast when i whisper ” I love you ” a hundred times into your ears .

You see, there are a million times i have seen you love me and sometimes, love is in the action not words, and you have shown me how much you care and love me that i do not really need to hear those words because in my heart ..baby i know you are blown” She laughs ”And when i say i love you, my love covers for the both of us so…hate else do i need?” he stares down at her

”You amaze me Jaime, i swear to God” she touches his face ”And despite it all, you didn’t push me for anything”
