Must Read: Cyber lover - Season 1 - Episode 55

“Alright, thank you, Inspector Lewis. I will
follow this lead and see where it will take me.

I will definitely give you feedback.” He dropped
the phone and excitedly said to Officer
Kennedy, “I think we are getting somewhere at
last. Late Mr. Benjamin, who was mysteriously
murdered two days ago in Cape City, once
lived here in Lupe and he also once dated
Brenda Davis, whose name appears here as
one of Derek‟s ex-girlfriends as well. Both
guys broke her heart. It is now very important
that we find this girl; she has some explaining
to do. I don‟t think that it‟s just coincidence
that two of her ex-lovers are mysteriously
murdered within two days or what do you
think, gentlemen?” “I smell something fishy,
Jack,” agreed Inspector Bromsbey. “Contact
Officer Daniel and help him locate the girl. I
want to hear something tangible before the
day is over,” Jack told his junior. “Yes, sir.”
After Officer Kennedy had left, Inspector Jack
reflected on the information he had just
gotten.

He didn‟t want to get too excited yet because
he wasn‟t sure how a human, let alone a girl,
could commit such an act. “Did she use some
diabolical means to eliminate her ex-lovers?”
he asked the two men who were still in his
office. “What sort of people is she involved
with?” wondered Bromsbey. “Will she actually
allow herself to be found?” asked Dr. Ryan. “I
hope that this Brenda of a girl will not just
disappear into thin air like the others,
inspectors.” “This doesn‟t negate our
hypothesis, Ryan,” Bromsbey told him. “In
fact, I think it buttresses it in a way….”
“Enlighten me, inspector,” began Jack. “Since
we still haven‟t accounted for how Mr. Hunter
died, Jack, I still think we should look into
this.”
“Oh, okay, Inspector Bromsbey. I‟ll send out
word about this McLeod fellow to all our
stations around the country, though I really
don‟t think he‟s in Nigeria right now if he‟s
working for somebody.” “Don‟t think so, too,

sir,” agreed Dr. Ryan thoughtfully. “But we just
have to look.” After both men had left his
office, Mr. Rufus Blunt, the CEO of Zenith Oil
Company, called Jack an hour later wanting
to know how far he had gone with the case.
The CEO ended the call on a furious note
upon discovering that there was no positive
information for him concerning the case. The
call only succeeded in making Inspector Jack
more anxious to finish the investigation. He
didn‟t hear from Officer Kennedy and Daniel
until 4:00 p.m. “We have gotten her present
address, sir,” Officer Daniel spoke into the
phone. “Good, I was beginning to get
frustrated.” “It wasn‟t easy sir; we had to
locate her parent‟s address from her school
record. Then from her parents, we got to know
that she presently lives with a friend at
Number 7, Saint Leo Street. She had been
doing a part-time job in a primary school but
just got a job with an airline company.”
Inspector Jack didn‟t expect Brenda to be
such a serious-minded person. “Alright, come
over to the station so that we can go and
check on her together.” He dropped the phone
and waited. A little smile was playing round
his lips. * * * Linus was already waiting for
them at the restaurant when they walked into
the place.

He was sitting at a corner table away from
the bright lights and customers milling around
in order not to be noticed by anyone.
“Well, well, well!” he began on seeing Nimrod.
“It is a pleasure to be seeing you again after
four years, my friend! When Allen told me that
you‟d broken out of jail, I couldn‟t believe my
ears!” The old man was grinning from ear to
ear as he took Nimrod‟s hand. “Linus, my
friend,” said the psycho. “It‟s a pleasure
seeing you again…I hope you‟re keeping to
your wife these days, eh?” “The old b---h is
classless in bed, sir!” the old man joked.
“Nowadays I prefer the free p---y I get in the
brothels of Lupe Red Light!” They all sat down
and the mood around the table became
serious. “You say there are undercover agents
in Michael‟s place?” Allen asked the old ex-
Biafran soldier. “Yes, in fact I got their
pictures with my phone‟s camera as you
directed.”
And he reached into his pocket to pull out a
Nokia. “They packed in as new tenants today.”
“So how did you find out they were cops?”
asked Nimrod and the security man grinned.
“They were dropped with a patrol vehicle.

Imagine the stupidity!” For some time after
this, the three could not hold back the
laughter that ensued around the table. Allen
first broke off from this digression, though.
“So, now that we have their pictures, what
next, Nimrod?” “I would have loved to bring
the gang along on this one!” his boss
thoughtfully replied. “It will be easier to take
out the cops with the gang, so that‟s exactly
what we‟ll do!” “Oga you won kill two birds
with one stone?” Linus asked him in pidgin
English, grinning in his usual manner. “Yes,
my friend; I‟ll meet the gang same time we‟re
taking out Michael!” “So when do we start?”
“Get them ready for this night, my friend!
Michael is in for a surprise!”
* * * Jane could not concentrate on her work
all day. Her colleagues noticed her state of
absentmindedness and kept asking her what
the matter was. However, she kept telling
them that she was all right. There were many
questions on her mind. She couldn‟t help
feeling that Brenda was keeping something
from her. However, she had known Brenda
long enough to doubt her. She was sure she
trusted Brenda and was not being fair to the
poor girl by suspecting her. How could she
suspect Brenda of having something to do
with the death of her past lovers?

Nevertheless, she remembered very clearly that
two evenings ago, Brenda had had a strange
seizure and after that mentioned Benjamin:
and funny enough, the next day it was
reported that Benjamin was dead. The same
thing had happened yesterday when she had
mentioned Derek‟s name after such an
episode; again, he had been reported dead
that morning!

Had Brenda involved herself with something
diabolical in order to hurt her past lovers?
Who is Cain? On the other hand, what is he?

Her cell phone suddenly rang and she was
jolted from her rumination. She looked at the
caller ID; it was Brad. “Hey baby, I am coming
towards your office, I thought we should lunch
together,” he said when she picked the call.

She also thought it was a nice idea, she could
do with some advice on what to make out of
the death of Brenda‟s ex-boyfriends. “Okay,
that will be great. How long will it take you to
get here?” “Ten minutes, at the most.” “Ten
minutes, then.” She hung up and got herself
ready for the lunch.

Brad arrived exactly ten minutes later. She
was already ready and waiting for him. They
usually lunched together at least three times
in a week, but this was their first lunch
together since Brenda‟s breakup with Adam.
He drove her to their usual spot very close to
Wintel Trust Bank. Jane couldn‟t wait to tell
him what was bothering her. “What‟s the
matter?” he asked as the waiter set their
table. “Why is my baby girl looking so
worried?” “It‟s about Brenda, Brad.”
Their meal arrived. “What about her?” Jane
couldn‟t tell if he appreciated the topic or not,
but she told him about the two deaths and her
fears after they started eating. “Did the time
of her partial seizures coincide with the time
of death?” he asked in shock. Jane thought
for a while before replying with a surprised
look on her face. “Yes, I never even thought of
that.” Jane saw unbelief in her lover‟s eyes.

She realized that the unpleasant thought of
his girlfriend living with a murderer was really
affecting Brad when he pushed away his
unfinished plate of food. He didn‟t feel like
eating anymore. Jane knew he felt so much
concern for her and she pitied him due to this.
She was sure he had never imagined the
situation had gotten this bad. “This is
incredible,” he finally said. “Do you realize the
magnitude of what you have just told me? If
all you have just told me is true, don‟t you
think your life might be in danger?” “I have
known Brenda long enough to trust her. For
now, I can‟t say if she has anything to do with
the deaths.

It could all be coincidence. We should be
careful not to jump into any quick conclusion
here.” “All you have just told me seem quite
logical to me, my dear!” her boyfriend
stressed instead. “I wouldn‟t go back home to
her today if I were you.”
“Come on, Brad! I didn‟t expect this sort of
response from you.
