Must Read: A SECOND CHANCE - Season 2 - Episode 57

‘thats nonsense, what the heck are you talking about?’ Alice asked.
‘you have every right to remain silent because whatever you say might be used against you in the court of law’ the police said.
‘excuse me officer, but you just cant come here to arrest my fiancee without……’
‘if you are talking about evidence or proof, then you will have to follow us to the station, constable, please handcuff her’
The constable moved forward with the handcuff is his hands.
‘no, you cant take me. Tony, you’ve got to help me. Help me please’ Alice cried.

Gilbert kissed her forehead, then smiled ‘my ever beautiful niece, my sunshine, the star in my heart, how are you?’
Abby blushed ‘common now uncle, why are you calling me pet names?’
‘because you are my one and only niece, my darling. The only family i have now’
‘dont you have plans of getting married?’
Gilbert sighed and threw his hand around Abby’s shoulders ‘i once had. But not anymore’
‘why?’
Gilbert sighed and pinched her jaw playfully ‘reasons best known to me my darling niece’
Abby shrugged ‘have you eaten? I cooked jollof rice’
‘yeah, i have eaten. Why wont i eat the food you suffered to prepare for me?’
‘was it delicious?’
‘uh….well, you are improving. The catering classes you’ve been taking are gradually paying off. It would have been better if we had a woman here who would teach you better’
‘i will learn’
Gilbert chuckled ‘i’m sure you will. Darling, i want you to do something for me. I mean, your friend, eh, Maria’
‘oh! That reminds me. I have to go to her house. She hasnt been in school for three days now, and no one called the school management to inform them of her reason or reasons for being absent’
‘thats what i wanted to talk to you about. Maria is currently in the hospital. She was shot, three days ago’
‘JESUS CHRIST! THATS UNBELIEVABLE. HOW, WHEN AND WHY?’
‘calm down Abby. I heard she was shot on her way back from school on Monday’
‘my God. And she wanted to come visit me here that day but she didnt come again. Maybe that was when she was shot. No! I hope she’s not dead?’
‘no, she’s not. She’s just in coma’
‘coma? Whats a coma?’
‘thats a definition for another day Abby. Like i said earlier, she needs your help. She really needs yur help’
‘she needs my help?’
‘yes she does. But not in a way yu are thinking of. I want to whisper something to your ears, come closer’
‘but there’s no one else in the house but you and i’
‘i know. But you know, walls do have ears’
‘okay,’ Abby drew close and Gilbert whispered something into her ears ‘thats absurd uncle! I didnt see anything’
‘well, you saw something’

‘officer, this cant be true,’ Tony said as he took a seat in front of the ASP ‘Alice is innocent. I can feel it’

The ASP shook his head ‘i understand whatever you may be going through now. But Alice isnt as innocent as you think’
‘thats nonsense. If she tried to kill Maria, then why was she in the hospital to see her?’
The ASP laughed ‘its obvious you dont understand how criminals operate Mr Brown. She was only there to monitor her condition. I’m sure she wouldnt have hesitated to finish her off if she was recuperating faster’
‘why on earth would she want to kill Maria?’
‘you should know the reason for that mr Brown. However, our source states that Maria never really liked Alice and never wanted you to marry her, she was a stumbling block to the marriage of both of you. And besides, she broke up with yu for the period of two weeks and then suddenly, you guys are back together, doesnt that ring a bell?’
‘so, what are you insinuating?’
‘she needed time to plan for the assasination of Maria. And the other time assasins were sent to your home, Alice was the one who paid them to do the job, to have Maria killed’

Tony frowned, trying to fix the puzzle, before he could speak, the ASP spoke again.
‘and we have witnesses’
‘witnesses?’ Tony asked amazed.
The ASP pressed the intercom and asked for the witnesses to be sent to the office.
The door flew open and Tony gasped in shock…..
