The Co wife - Season 1 - Episode 10

☆☆☆☆
JAMES’S Point of View.

I left her place furiously. I had to confront Joyce first before I involved the police.

Immediately the gate man opened the gate, I drove in and parked in the compound. I didn’t even mind locking my car.

I ran into the house, fuming and breathing fire.
“Where is this w---e that calls herself my wife?”
I growled!

Joyce ran downstairs and met a furious me, gritting my teeth angrily.

Before she could say anything, I held her by the collar and breathed furiously onto her face.
“Where is she? Where did you take her? Answer me s--t!”
“Who? What are you talking about James? You are chocking me. Lemmie me go!”
“You can pretend uh? Wait until I call the police on you, you will understand what I am talking about!”
Joyce looked confused!

I saw the confusion in her eyes and I let go off her collar.

My phone vibrated and I took it from my trousers’ pocket. It was a message from a strange number.
“I have your sweet girl with me. Meet me at TRM in the next 1hour, failure to do so, I will kill her. And if you dare involve the police, you will have yourself to blame.”

Immediately, I concluded that the SMS was from Jeff. I remembered that I had not seen him earlier in the office.

He thought he was clever uh?
He was in for a great surprise.
I looked at Joyce who was seated at the far end of the couch. She knew better than talking when I was angry.

I gave her a long warning look and got out of the house.

While in the car, I called the OCS of the nearby police station and he agreed to send three of his boys to the meeting point. I insisted that they should go in civilian. He was okay with that.

I called the strange number and it was answered immediately.

The voice was Jeff’s though he tried as much as possible to suppress it. I told him I was gonna be in TRM in the next thirty minutes. He insisted that I should go alone if I wanted to see Jackline alive and I assured him I was all alone. I wasn’t stupid anyway!
“Which kidnapper sends a text and keeps the phone on? Doesn’t he fear to be tracked?”
I asked myself…..

Jeff was just stupid!
Plain stupid!

I swore I was gonna deal with him… First for sleeping with Joyce, secondly for threatening and blackmailing me to get a job, for swindling my money (he thought I didn’t know)
And lastly, for kidnapping my girl.
Jeff, here I come.

I drove out of the house and drove towards Thika road. The traffic wasn’t heavy therefore the drive there was smooth.

One of the officers texted me and told me that they were already in the mall. I gave them my description and I secured a place st the far end of the café.

I spotted Jeff as hr got in and I ignored him. I didn’t want him to know that I knew he was behind all these.

I buried my head on my cup of cappuccino.
He spotted me and came straight to my table.
He made himself comfortable opposite me and slightly b@nged on the table.
“Jeff, what a pleasant surprise!”
I acted surprised.

“I am not here to exchange pleasantries James. I am Here for business!”
He growled.

“Jeff, I am waiting for someone, if you don’t mind, kindly leave my table!” I told him furiously.

“And that someone is me James! And you better calm down if you want to see your sugar alive!”

He told me, as he showed me a pistol inside his jacket.
“Jeff!”
I called him.

“Why did you kidnap her? What did she do to you?”

“This is not time for explanations.”
He brought out a form and commanded me to sign it.

I studied it but he threatened to blow my brains if I wasted his time!

“How can I sign something I don’t know Jeff?”

“This is a transfer of your company from your name to mine. Sign it! Now!”

I picked the pen with trembling hands. I had to act fast. The police men were taking long to act. I had to use delay tactics because I couldn’t text them in his presence.
“Hurry up, we don’t have all day!”
He commanded.

Before I could put down my signature, the police men came and greeted me, as well as Jeff.

I focused all my attention on them and I introduced Jeff as my employee.

Jeff looked restless. He didn’t notice that the three guys were policemen.

“Let’s get done with the business James! I have a lot of work to do! Gentlemen. Kindly excuse us, we were on the middle of something before you interrupted us.” Jeff was definitely pissed off.

The guys had made themselves comfortable on our table.

I had to do something to piss him off so that he may get furious.
I pushed the pen and the form towards him and told him that I couldn’t sign something I didn’t understand.

The café had a few customers and Jeff hadn’t realised that the guys on our table were police men. They were on one side of the table and Jeff moved to my side.

He drew his weapon and pressed it on my left thigh. I squirmed!
“Hurry up dude! We don’t have all the time.”
He whispered.

The guys had noticed something had they were ready to act.

They drew their pistols all at once and commanded him to drop his weapon or else they were gonna splash his brains all over the place.

Jeff knew he was cornered.
He couldn’t go down without a fight. He pressed the already cocked pistol and released one bullet on my thigh then let go off the weapon.

I screamed in pain!
The customers and the café attendants were shocked.

Their attention was focussed on us.

I lay down, writhing in pain as one guy cuffed Jeff and the other two attended to my leg, applying the first aid skills they learned at Kiganjo.

An ambulance was called as Jeff was bundled into the police car. Darkness was engulfing my whole self…. I lost consciousness due to too much loss of blood……
