Episode 9

Bimpe was working in her

 

office when her phone rang.

 

Steve was the caller. Before

 

picking the call, Bimpe locked

 

her office door. She would not

 

want someone else to hear her.

 

“Hello Steve. What happened?”

 

“Where are you?”.

 

“In myoffice.”

 

“I think someone knows the truth now. Lizzy has been abducted. I don’t know where they took her to.”

 

“Oh my God!

 

Are you sure of what you are

 

saying?”

 

“I am certain of it.

 

Someone sent me a nude picture of Lizzy and after that she was abducted. I am worried to death.”

 

“I hope you know you can’t go to the police. Have you spoken to our henchmen?” “No, I can’t talk to them. They

 

have been compromised. I am

 

hoping that whoever

 

kidnapped Lizzy will call me for

 

ransom or for vendetta. I need

 

to know she is still alive… I just

 

returned to the country. I had to take my children to some safe place.”

 

“That is a smart move.

 

Where are they?”

 

“I can’t tell you bimpe. It is better you don’t know.” “It’s okay, I understand.

 

Do whatever you can to find

 

Lizzy, I will do my best from

 

here… have you heard?”

 

“What?”

 

“Eve and Stanley are still alive.”

 

There was silence for a moment after Bimpe informed him that Eve and Stanley were still alive.

 

“Steve, are you still there?”

 

“Yes… Bimpe, I hope you know

 

we are in a deep mess?”

 

“Yeah, I know. Find your wife as quickly as you can. I have the feeling things won’t work out well between Emilia and Mayo.

 

We should try and take

 

advantage of that.”

 

“I didn’t understand what you mean.”

 

“Mayo does not know who made the videos, Emilia won’t

 

tell him. I will try and point

 

fingers at Emilia; that should

 

break them up.”

 

“No, Bimpe! You should not do that. Emilia is a monster; you don’t want to mess

 

with her. Please don’t do it. You absolutely do not have what it takes to handle her.

 

I would suggest we disappear.”

 

“Okay, I will try not to point

 

fingers at Emilia. Steve, I have

 

got to go. I have so much work

 

to do. Call me when you find

 

your wife. I’ll get my men to

 

look underground for her.”

 

“Thank you, Bimpe.”

 

“You are

 

welcome.”

 

As soon as Bimpe was done talking to Steve, she sent a text to Mayo, using an unknown number. The text

 

message read, “Hello Mayo, Emilia paid someone to make

 

the videos. Check the house you use for your abominable sexual orgies and you will see lots of hidden cameras.

 

Are you aware that she worked as a hooker for seven years in Atlanta before she returned to the country. Don’t believe what she tells you. She doesn’t want the videos found.

 

If you don’t believe me, you

 

know where to look.”

 

As quickly as Bimpe sent the

 

text message, she turned off

 

her phone and removed the sim card with which she sent the message. Steve had warned her not to point fingers at Emilia, but she would not listen. She had her reasons for attacking

 

Emilia. On the other side Mayo was trying hard without

 

success to call the number

 

which sent him the message.

 

Determined to find out who

 

was behind the text message,

 

he called a friend of his in the

 

mobile carrier which owned the number that sent him the message and asked his friend to get him the identity of the

 

person who sent him the

 

message.

In Apple Bar, Steve sat

 

alone at a table, working out

 

how to get back his wife. He

 

was lost in thought when his

 

phone rang. To his surprise, the caller was Lizzy. Steve was

 

happy that finally, those who

 

abducted his wife were getting

 

in touch with him. With a cold

 

voice he said, “Hello…”

 

“Baby! Baby! Where are you? Where are our children? I have been calling you

 

since yesterday!”

 

“Where are you Lizzy?”

 

“I am home. They have let me go!

 

Come home please!

 

Come home!”

 

“No! I am not coming home. They are trying to use you to get me. Who is there with you?. They have not let you

 

go right?”

 

Steve could not believe his wife would be sent home that easily.

 

Lizzy broke down and began to

 

cry. “I am alone in the house. No one is here with me. I was

 

released yesterday after those

 

who kidnaped me made me do

 

some things…

 

” Steve was alarmed; his heart began to beat very fast.

 

“Lizzy, what did they make you do?”

 

“They stripped me nude and forced me to pose nude with three nude men. They beat me up…”

 

Steve went numb with fear.

 

 

Bimpe was right, someone must know the truth now and was working secretly to get him and his accomplices.

 

“I want you to come to Apple Bar. Walk in and take a seat. I will meet you there in minutes.”

 

“Okay, I’ll leavebright away.” Lizzy dropped the call and ran down stairs. She had thought her husband and children had been killed by the men who kidnapped her. Steve was not sure his wife was telling him the truth, so he left the bar, went across the street and paid a taxi driver to let him sit in his taxi for some time. While he waited, Lizzy drove

 

into Apple Bar in her Range

 

Rover. In a jiffy she made it

 

out of her car and headed into

 

the bar.

10:45 am, Emilia’s Residence

 

.

 

“Who else amongst these

 

people do you think is closest to finding the videos,” Emilia asked her guards. On her dining table was spread a wide sheet containing the names of the people looking for the videos and those in the videos. “I think Maxwell has the best chance of finding the videos. He knows where Eve and Stanley are,” one of Emilia’s guards said. “Maxwell is chasing shadows. He is doing

 

exactly what I want him doing

 

at the moment,” Emilia replied

 

sarcastically. Just then her

 

phone rang. It was the

 

policeman who called some

 

days earlier from Briggs Clinic to inform her that Eve and Stanley might still be alive. She had to take his call, “Hey, man. What have you got?” Emilia asked. “Leroy survived the shooting at Briggs Clinic. He will be

 

transferred to a military hospital by 11: am tomorrow. Do you still have need for him?”

 

“I do. Thanks for letting me know. Can you help him disappear?” “Maybe, but I am not yet sure.”

 

“If you can make it happen; make sure he never gets taken to the military hospital.”

 

“I will try, Emilia.”

 

“Thanks man. I will remember this.”

 

“You are welcome.”

11:55 am, A Mansion outside

 

the City.

 

“Whoever you are working for is looking for videos. The videos contain the worst form

 

of deviant sexual acts you can

 

imagine. You need to understand the caliber of people in those videos. There

 

are four currently serving

 

governors, six ministers, seven

 

celebrities of immense wealth,

 

an ex-president and his

 

daughter, and also one of the

 

richest men in Africa and his

 

daughter. Actually this man and his daughter had sex together with their eyes blindfolded. It was a set up and I don’t know who planned it all. The people in the videos have the means to kill whoever will try to keep them from finding the videos…”

 

Stanley paused. Eve had heard

 

those from him and so was not

 

surprised. “I don’t know what

 

you were told, but the truth is I

 

did not make those videos and

 

you cannot find me in any of

 

them. Some amongst my friends or in connection with my friends did, but I don’t

 

know who they are,” he continued.

 

“Where are the original copies

 

of the videos now,” Dr. Larry

 

asked. Stanley knew that

 

admitting he did not know

 

where the videos where would

 

take his bargaining power

 

away; so he made up a story, “I

 

don’t know where they are, but

 

I might know who does. I

 

understand there is a sixteen-

 

digit code with which the

 

videos were locked away in a

 

safe somewhere in this city. I

 

and Eve were made to

 

memorize three digits each. If

 

anything happens to us, you will never find the videos. According to what I was told, the numbers are also coordinates to the location of the original copies of the videos.” Eve was shocked to hear Stanley say they were made to memorize numbers.

 

That was a lie. They simply did

 

not know much about the

 

videos except those who were

 

in them. The fact that Stanley

 

was leading their captors on

 

made her much more afraid. If

 

they found out, they would not hesitate to shoot them.

 

“You said you know who might

 

know where the videos are,

 

who is that?” Dr. Larry asked.

 

“I want to know that I and my

 

wife are safe before I give you a name.”

 

“Stanley, you don’t understand what mess you are in right now. Give us a name and we will convince our boss

 

to let you go,” Dr. Lami

 

persuaded him.

 

“How do I know they won’t shoot us the moment I give them a name?” “This is messier than we

 

thought, Stanley. Just drop a

 

name and we will leave this

 

place with you right now,” Dr.

 

Lami pleaded with a fear riddled voice. They were all startled when one of the armed men watching from a room upstairs barged into the room, wielding a gun. “Stanley, I doubt very much you understand what is going on here. If you don’t give us a name I am going to shoot

 

you and your wife right here!”

 

the man shouted. “I understand you want to protect your friends but you need to see this!” He handed Stanley a tablet and urged him, “Play the video.” Stanley was not sure what was in the video. He was clearly afraid. Eve came over and sat beside him.

 

Stanley braved up for the worst and taped the play button and the video began to play.

 

Seconds into the video, the

 

mouths of Stanley and Eve hung open in shock. In the video were Bimpe, Steve

 

and Clara, in a bar, telling an unidentified man that the sex videos may have been

 

made by Stanley and Eve. At the end of the video, the unidentified man left a

 

briefcase on the table and left. Turning to them, the armed man said, “The video

 

you just watched was

 

recorded six months ago. Your

 

friends believe you made the

 

videos. They were paid ten

 

million for that information.”
