When Love just happens - S01 E53

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 53

To avoid further argument Jeffery took a sip of his juice. Good, now do well to eat the peanuts as well Anita ordered as she came back to the sitting room carrying a first aid kit and started cleaning up his wound with some spirit. He obliged her and took some peanuts and just then, his phone ranged. He quickly abandoned the peanuts and took his phone out of his pocket to find it was a private number calling. Black quickly brought his laptop and connected and connected Jeffery’s phone to it and asked Jeffery to pick the call and place it on speaker.

Hello, Jeffery said.

Good day Mr Jeffery, I believe you know who is calling?

No I don’t. Please who is this?

Well, this is Timothy Okafor the monster whom you have been trying to protect your girlfriend from.

Jeffery’s jaw was clinched. He wanted to tell at him but he knew better than that. Good day Timothy I believe you have my girlfriend with you?

You are correct and I have no intention of holding her much longer if my demands are not met in the next 24 hours.

What do you mean by that?

If by the next 24 hours I am not given #100m Naira, then consider the last time you saw your girlfriend to be the very last. And if you think of contacting the police, I will have her body chopped to pieces and delivered to your doorstep. You have 24 hours. With that said Timothy ended the call.

Did you get anything? Where you able to trace his location? Jeffery asked Black.

No it kept showing several locations at once. The guy is quite smart. We would have kept him much longer on the phone when he calls, it will help. Black wasn’t even finished talking when Jeffery grabbed him by his shirt and pushed him to the wall. Now listen to me, I don’t have all day. My girlfriend is in danger of being killed by that lunatic so you better hurry up. He said with gritted teeth. Michael and Dele had to pull Jeffery away from Black.

Jeffery you need to calm down we are going to get her back. Guy the next time you ask me to calm down I will have your teeth removed undermining you are my sister’s husband. I will do it all the same.

No one is having their teeth removed, we all need to calm down. Jeffery we are going to get Jane back alive. I need you to have faith, Anita said and turned to look at Black who was straightening his shirt that Jeffery had ruffled up. Black do you think we can work on the locations you got from the call and see if it would lead us to somewhere? That’s what I intend to do. Good, now you go do that while we hope he calls again soon and we try to stall the call so his precise location can be gotten.

This is rubbish, I need to call my bank. And do what? Dele asked. What do you mean and do what? Didn’t you hear what he said? I am going to get him the money so he can release Jane. And you think he is going to give her back once you give him the money? He is definitely not going to do that Michael said. Jeffery I don’t think giving him the money is a good idea, Dele said. The ransom is the only bait we have, once you hand it over to him, then we are powerless. Black said from a distance to avoid being punched.

So what do you suggest we do? Jeffery asked helpless. We wait. Definitely he is going to call again to give an address of where to bring the money. Black was already seated at the dinning with his laptop.

Jeffery felt so helpless. The wait is killing him. He walked up to Michael’s bar at the corner of the sitting room and poured himself some scotch which he downed immediately.

I think there is something Jane would have wanted us to do at a time like this. Amaka who had been quiet all this while said. And what could that be? Jeffery asked with so much hope in his voice. Pray! She would want us to pray so let’s all cone together and pray for Jane’s safety. They all came together and held each other’s hands. Amaka led them in prayers.
