Serendipity

Chapter 22: Involved.

"Are you at the café already?"

"Sitted and served, Sir," he could tell Sodiq was smirking.

"Ok, I'll be there in a jiffy." He cut the line, as well as his engine and stepped out of the car. Locking his car very well, he walked into the café.

Sodiq wasn't so hard to spot. Sitted on the left side of the café, Sodiq had a newspaper hovering over his coffee. Nonso walked towards him. Dropping his car keys on the table, he took the sit in front of Sodiq.

Sodiq dropped the paper immediately. He streched out his hands.

"Boss man,"

Nonso clasped his hand in Sodiq's. "Agent Sodiq, how you dey?"

"Am good man," Sodiq smiled and sat up.

The smile dropped as he slipped an envelope towards Nonso.

"It was him. He was the one who did it."

Nonso looked up. "How?"

"The neighbours said the guy ran into their home, half dressed and looking disheveled. They admitted that he looked as though someone was pursuing him. He made up an excuse that he was doinh something his stepmum step mum wouldn't like. The guy is friends with a guy known as Mad Scientist. He spends most of his times there and according to reports, this mad scientist used to be a university student, an aspiring doctor...."

Nonso spoke up. "You think he is involved with this?"

Sodiq nodded. "Went to the university of Lagos, never graduated."

Nonso opened the envelope. He slipped out pictures. One of the man in question walking towards a deserted house, an uncompleted building. And another of him in some club, with Lola, Derin's best friend. They seemed cozy. Their lips were locked. Nonso waved to the picture.

"How is this essential?"

Sodiq shrugged. "They looked as if they were hiding or something, the way they kept looking around and snapping their heads from side to side. Do you know the Lady?"

Nonso nodded. "She is best friends with...."

Sodiq understood immediately. He nodded.

Nonso slipped his hands into the envelope.

A recording device fell out. Nonso glanced at Sodiq.

"Play it."

Nonso pressed the play button.

"Will she be with Child?"

"I don't know...look I need new dosages, before those one clear from her body."

"How will you inject her, idiot!"

"I'll find a way!"

"No you won't, that's risky. We'll make a pill, so you swap it with the hospital own."

"Ok. Good,"

"Will she be with child?"

"I don't know, but I didn't use protection."

"If she isn't, I'll kill you,"

It stopped.

A chill ran down his spine.

"How did you get this? Where did you hear it."

"I followed the guy, from his ikorodu home. To some cheap bar where he had a drink with the guy known as Mad Scientist." Sodiq looked around momentarily.
