OSCAR
I can't stop thinking about Natty. She might have been the worst mother but she didn't deserve dying like a dog.
Everybody deserves a second chance in life.
That Barack of a bastard must have frustrated her to an extend of commiting suicide. We pass by the station and inform the police about the disappearance of Kyle. They read the note and they promise to help.
True to Natalia's words, Barack is there, waiting for nightfall to come and extort money from us.
We catch him by surprise and before he can grab Kyle, he runs towards us and the police are upon him, commanding him to drop the knife he is holding.
Before they could arrest him, he aims the knife onto his chest and stabs himself.
The police calls for an ambulance but he has bled to death before the ambulance arrives.
Kyle seems adamant. He doesn't want to go.
He comes next to me and whispers into my ears.
"That man killed uncle cliff and buried him inside this building."
"Why would he do that? Can you show the police where he was buried? "
"Yes. He killed him because he wanted to bring me back to you."
I take him to where the police men are and he narrates the whole story to them.
Cliff's body is received and together with Barack's, taken to the morgue......
***********
Having Kyle back in the house gives us the satisfaction we have been waiting for.
It saddens us to see him rolling on his mother's coffin during her burial
He might not have been old enough but he clearly understands that his mum is gone forever.
Things get back to normal and my businesses are doing better.
Sandra is doing better in school as well as my son Kyle.
He has learnt to live with the fact that his mum is no more.
One evening after dinner, we're busy watching the news when some breaking news pops up on the screen.
*Three women inmates have escaped from prison. The three who were identified as Shirleen, Peggy and Sasha Roberts escaped earlier today after attacking a female warden and used her gun to kill two wardens then escaped. Detailed news......*
I can't even hear the rest of the sentence.
"Sasha? Out? "
Sandra asks.
"This means she'll come after us for giving her out to the police! "
She looks confused, almost shedding tears.
"I'm equally confused love. This must be an inside job! "
"Noooooo..... This is not happening! "
Sandra shouts, raining obsentities on no one in particular....
"We have to be careful now more than ever. I'll employ a bodyguard to take care of you and our son. She can't harm you! Never! "
I assure her.
We have to report to the police for our safety. If anything happens to any of us, I will never be able to forgive myself!
I look for my phone to call them and I remember it's upstairs in the bedroom.
"I'll call them immediately we go upstairs."
Sandra is restless.
I'm just being calm because I'm the man and I don't want to scare bet more.
