A knock on the door hushed Steve and Lizzy. They were not expecting anyone. Steve picked his gun and moved toward the door. This time he was determined to use it. A female voice, saying, “Room service!” from outside, calmed him a bit. He tip-toed back to Lizzy and asked, “Did you ask to be brought anything?” Lizzy shook her head signaling ‘no’. She was too afraid to utter a word. Meanwhile the female voice outside the door continued to knock gently on the door, almost singing “Room Service!” by now. Steve peered at her through the hole on the door and asked with a stern voice, “Who are you?!” and quickly moved away from the door to avoid gunshots. “I am a hotel maid, I have a delivery for your wife sir,” the maid at the door said. Steve was done being hunted, he yanked the door open and surprised the maid. The gun in his hand scared the maid and she almost jumped out of her skin. “My wife did not make any order! What is it you want?” Steve barked. “This is for your wife,” the maid said, stretching a parcel toward him. Steve looked at the parcel suspiciously wondering what it was. “Open it!” he demanded. Fidgeting, the maid began to open the parcel.

“Let me have it,” Lizzy said from behind Steve. The maid was eager to deliver the parcel and disappear. She threw the parcel at Lizzy and ran from the door. Lizzy was curious to find out what the parcel contained and so tore it hurriedly. A neatly packaged DVD plate was all she found inside. While Steve shut the door, she made her way toward the home theater in the room and slotted it in. The picture which came on the screen was one of the most sexually graphic motion pictures she had ever seen. Steve was on a teenage girl, holding her by the necking and thrusting himself into her like a beast of the wild. The teenager’s cry rent Lizzy’s heart. In the background were faces she knew very well, doing the same thing to other girls, and some ladies submitting their bodies to young men she had not seen before. Without thinking about it, she turned off the television and looked at Steve in utter disbelief.

Steve had been caught, there was no lying about his secret life now. Lizzy managed to stifle her sob with both hands as hot tears matched down her cheek. “That girl is not yet sixteen years, is she?” she asked. Steve opened his mouth to talk but no word came out. He sat on the bed knowing his marriage had just gone with the wind over the video his wife had just watched. Steve’s forlorn look spiked her curiosity and so she took a sit and began to watch the full length video. It was horrifying. The video was a medley of many of the orgies Steve and his friends had together and with so many others Lizzy did not know. Streams of tears ran down her cheek as she watched the video. She had to stop it when she saw a clip where a girl Steve injected with pendulum died in his hands during very violent sexual intercourse. After Lizzy had stopped the video. She ejected it from the player put it back in its case and dropped it into her purse. She dressed up quickly and left the room. Steve sat on the bed, looking spaced out. About a minute later, Lizzy came back into the room and asked, “Where are our children?” “They are in Ghana with Emmalyn,” Steve replied. Lizzy said no other word and left.

12:15 am, The Helmsman’s holding house

When Chucks and all the people who were abducted along with him were brought to the Helmsman’s house, they were carefully searched. Their guns, phones, cameras and recorders were taken from them. Eve and Stanley were buzzing with their first success at cracking up the case. They were convinced that Chucks was working with those who shot them or made the videos. However, few minutes into quizzing Chucks, they began to realize just how little they knew about the case. “I am innocent. I have overwhelming evidence to prove I know nothing about you and Eve being shot,” Chucks said, his eyes flaming with zeal to prove his innocence. The look on the faces of Eve and Stanley gave the impression they were ready to spill blood that night. “That man over there is a police officer, his name is Martin Sekibo. What he knows about the videos and your being shot will leave the hairs on your skin standing. He has been part of the scheme to make the videos and to shoot the two of you long before it all began. I have a recording of his confessions. You will find them in the recorder you took from me. Try to play it and listen to what he has said so far!” Chucks shouted.

Eve dashed into the room where they kept all they had taken from Chucks and his men and returned in a jiffy with the tape recorder. Chucks wasn’t done pleading his innocence. He knew the facts and pieces of evidence he had gathered were in his favour. So he was willing to use them to the uttermost. “This other man is my detective. I have been investigating the case with him for about a month now. He too has quite some information about the videos and the shooting. These men are his colleagues. The two ladies over there are also working with us. They helped us nab Martin Sekibo. I can bring the man who shot you and Eve right here if you want me to. I know you want his head on a dish, but you should listen to him first. His alias is Leroy. I don’t know his real name.” That bit of information got Eve, Stanley and Helmsman excited. “Are you serious? Can you really bring him here?” Stanley sked looking astonished. “Yes I can. Only a phone call from Martin Sekibo is all you need to bring him down here. Already Emilia has asked Martin to kill him…”

“Why do they want to kill Leroy? Do they know Stanley and I are investigating the case?” Eve asked. “I doubt very much they do. A man was killed in a nightclub weeks ago. Leroy was sent to kill the man and take some information from him. When he got to the nightclub, the man was already dead with seven bullet holes in his head. Someone reached him before Leroy could. Those who hired Leroy think he was the one who killed the man and sold the information he had to others. The dead man was said to have reached some people in the videos, claiming he knew who made the videos and the reasons they were made and some foreign buyer bidding to buy the videos. Check Martin’s phone, you will see a text from Emilia asking him to kill Leroy. Emilia and those who hired Leroy want him dead because he has found out he was set up at the nightclub. Stanley you need to speak with this guy,” Chucks explained.

“I have transferred all you have on the tape recorder to a laptop, who is the other voice talking to you? Is that Leroy?” the Helmsman asked. “Yes, that voice is Leroy. Please listen to what he has to say,” Chucks replied. While Chucks and his team were being quizzed, Annabel called the helmsman to give him information about Maxwell’s death. The helmsman who had been on the road with Eve and Stanley for days, chasing Chucks and Leroy, was shocked to hear about Maxwell’s death. He excused Eve and Stanley and went upstairs to continue the telephone conversation with Annabel. “What do I do with Eve and Stanley since Maxwell is dead?” the Helmsman asked. “They are innocent. I want them set free. However, if they want to help me crack the case they are welcome. I will give them all that they need to make it happen. Already I am working on the case with my team. I think I know who killed my father.” “There are somethings you need to know. We have picked up a certain police officer by the name Martin Sekibo. He knows too much. Chucks, one of Stanley’s friends made it happen. He can also help us get the man shot Eve and Stanley. In fact, I think you should get down here to read and listen to the information we already have. There is too much to tell you over the phone. However, you must know that one name is recurrent in all we have dug up. That name is Emilia.” “That is the same over here. Emilia knows more than she is willing to let out. I want us to shift focus to her and sniff out as much information as we can. I am already in my killing mood.
