Work of the devil - Season 1 - Episode 15

I could not look at my parent’s faces. I felt so ashamed and disappointed at myself. I knew I had let them down. I kept my face down and away from their faces until an instruction was given to take them out of the room. I then raised my head and saw their retreating figures.

As soon as they were out, my uncle pulled a chair and sat before me, “So, what do you think? Do we need to ‘touch’ them more for you to come clean?”

I was angry at his question and I knew that he meant what he was saying.

“You are been so wicked. Why did you have to do that to them? What did they do wrong? I was the one that should be dealt with not them”
“You have the prison waiting for you. That I can promise you. Better start talking”

I told him everything that I needed to tell him, especially about the ‘club’ and my plans with the private investigator to work in getting Princess back. He said nothing all through except to nod his head in between and bore me through with his eyes.

“I want you to deal with the guys at the ‘club'”, I said with deep dislike for them because they cheated me and took advantage of me.

“You think our job is to avenge for you? That is not our business. You will do that yourself. What concerns us is getting back Princess”, he replied with coldness in his voice.

He got the private investigator’s phone number from me and called. They spoke for some minutes. After which he signalled one of his men, who put the needle in again and I passed out.

The next time my eyes got opened, I was back in Portharcout at the same hotel where I was taken from. After a short briefing, he asked me to go back to be with the ‘club’ guys so as not to rouse any suspicion while the work on how to proceed from there.

I noticed that the receptionist I had met the previous day that led me to be caught was not there. I wondered why. Maybe, he was not on duty on the day of my return. Or better still, maybe he was not even a staff of the hotel. Which hotel would use her staff to get a criminal caught? That would be endangering the staff’s life. What if the criminal was armed and was bent on not getting caught?

On the other hand, i thought that maybe he was paid to do what he did. But somehow, I kept thinking that I had seen his face somewhere. He looked somewhat familiar. But I couldn’t place the face. I couldn’t tell where I had seen or met him.
