SANDRA
As we pick Kyle from school, I can't stop wailing loudly. My car has just been blown up and I had some project papers in there.
I wonder why drama can't leave our sides.
Oscar had informed me about Sasha's husband's motives.
No father has a right to resurface and claim his kid while he has been away for over six years.
Worse still, he's blackmailing Oscar for money.
Oscar's ex wife must have been a real whore, sleeping with each Tom and sick....
Whatever...
She's least of my concern now....
How did he even spot my car? Which means I was in danger of blowing up in there but God was with me.
Oh God, why all these strange happenings?
Oscar receives a call as we park in our house. He tells Kyle to go inside the house as he answers the call and hits the speaker button.
"I can see your sweet sixteen wife has nine lives like the proverbial cat?"
Simon's husky voice is heard from the other side.
"Simon or whatever you call yourself, why are you after my life?"
I ask, angrily.
"Calm your titties kid, I'm dealing with your husband and not you village brat. Now shut up and Lemmie speak to your sugar daddy! And while at it, thank your maker that you're still breathing!"
He roars over the phone!
He has the effontry to call my husband a sugar daddy!
I'm already fuming.
"What do you want you fool!"
Oscar asks, already irritated.
I think he hasn't taken being called sugar daddy lightly.
"Where's my money Oscar? Where's my fucking money?"
He roars once again.
"I don't have money to dish to idlers. If you know what's good for you, go back to the hell hole you've been hiding because I swear, you'll pay for destroying my wife's car!"
He yells at him.
"Your wife might be lucky but we can't say the same about your precious house help!"
He is laughing hysterically.
"What do you mean? Where's Angela? If anything happens to her, you'll pay you bastardized... "
I can't wait to hear all the conversation. I run towards the house only to find Kyle calling out for his auntie.
Angela is nowhere to be seen.
I run back to the gate and ask the gateman where she has gone to...
Oscar is still on the phone with the bastardized and I actually don't care what they're talking about.
"Where's Angela?"
I ask the gateman.
"She told me so was going to deposit some money into her mother's account."
He tells me.
"When did she go?"
I ask furiously.
Oscar has already dropped the call and he's beside me.
"Two hours ago... "
We leave the gateman and as we head towards Tue house, Oscar speaks;
"Honey, we have a problem. I've spoken to Angela over the phone and she's crying hysterically, asking us to rescue her. Simon has her... "
"What do we do now?"
I ask curiously.
"He wants money....or else jell kill her and dump her remains in our compound."
He explains, his eyes becoming red.
"It's high time we took this whole thing seriously. We can't keep on relying on a detective who can't come up with the man's location. Let's go to the police Oscar..."
I suggest and he nods in agreement.
"Let's pick Kyle and go with him. We can't leave him all alone! "
As we head to the house to call Kyle, another call comes through Oscar's phone.
This time it's detective Cyrus.
"Yes detective!"
"Oscar, I've found out something. I've just tracked the call you've received from Simon. I have his location already. Kindly come to my office, now!"
He explains.
"Do you know that he has kidnapped my house help?"
Oscar asks.
"Yeah. I've recorded all the conversation. Hurry up!"
We change our mind about going with Kyle and we instruct him to stay indoors.
We also give Samuel the gateman stern orders not to open the gate for anybody except us.
I still don't like the idea of leaving Kyle alone but we've no option. I know he'll be safe.
The God who saved me from Sasha, saved me from the blown up car, will protect him for us.
******
The drive to the detective's office ain't long.
All through, my mind is preoccupied, still unable to digest whatever is going on in our lives.
Whoever bewitched us must have died before undoing the witchcraft...
Detective Cyrus is waiting for us at the parking and he leads us to his office.
He gives us each detail about Simon's where about and the places he's always hanging out.
He also gives us the current location, only a few metres from our residence.
He promises to accompany us to the station so as to record a statement, then get some cops to go and arrest him before he harms Angela.
