I watched as the cops took Monica away into one of the police car. I had my eyes fixed on the vehicle she was in.

"How did you find out she's the one ?" Thelma asked me as she turned away from the car that took Monica away.

"She's the only one who have access to his food and all odds were against her so it wasn't that hard." I shrugged as I replied her while Darius came out from the house to join us outside.

He held out a salt shaker, he had a smirk on his face with spark in his eyes.

"This is Monica's mixture." He tossed it to Thelma, who caught it immediately fixing her gaze on it.

"How did you find that ?" I asked him taking a glimpse at the salt shaker.

"We searched the kitchen thoroughly and we found this, our forensics tested the salt and it's the same chemical compound that was causing Drake's ailment." He said as he rested his hands on his hips.

"You said something earlier, that you saw her sneaking out of the farm, when was that ?" Thelma asked Darius as she put the salt shaker into a plastic bag labelled evidence.

"I went back to the farm after the day when we found the farmer's body, on my day I spotted Monica rushing out of the barnyard so I had my doubts about her since then." He walked towards his car parked in front of the house and rested his back on the car.

"So that's why you came to the house that day and warned us about a snitch." I let out an unamused laugh as I trailed my fingers through my hair.

"Yeah, I knew she was going to be caught sooner or later." He walked towards the driver's side of the cat while Thelma approached the passenger's side.

"Skai, well done you did well today, we'd interrogate her as soon as we get to the station."Darius said before opening the door to enter the car.

" Hold on, I'd catch up with you at the station let me check in with the others." I climbed up the door steps to talk to the twins and Becky who were standing at the front door.

"I can't believe that woman !" Becky said as she walked towards me stretching her hands to hug me.

"Yeah and you were so cool !"Busayo exclaimed as she gripped my arms.

"Yeah, where did you learn that ?" Busola asked me with her eyes wide opened.

"Just instincts. I gotta go now, I'd be accompanying them to interrogate her." I quickly said as I gave everyone a brief hug.

"Oh okay just go, I'd stay away from work today so I could be with the twins." Becky assured me as she put arms around the twins. Becky has always been supportive and understanding that's why she's my best friend.

I rushed into the backseat of Darius car and immediately we took off. I tilted my head backwards and let out a heavy sigh.

I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket, I took it out and the caller ID revealed it was Drake calling.

"Good mo..."He abruptly cut me as I tried to greet him.

"Where are you ?" His voice was sounding firm but I could still feel that he was weak.

"On my way to the station." I answered coldly as I looked out the window.

"Skai, you're putting yourself in so much danger ." He sounded angry and annoyed, I don't get this guy at all, I just exposed someone who wanted to kill him.

"How did you find out about Monica ?" I tried to change the topic so we wouldn't end up shouting at each other.

"I have about 20 men in that house, getting information from my house wouldn't be a problem and don't try and change the subject." He responded harshly which made me close my eyes for a minute before talking.

"Drake, this is serious. Monica has a lead as to what Andre and his men are up to and this my chance to get back at them." I lowered my voice so he could calm down and hear me out.

"No Skai, the cops are there and they can handle it ! Just let them do their jobs, you're gonna get yourself hurt !" I was wrong he didn't want to hear me out because he was now shouting into my ear.

"I'm trying to protect the people I love and I'm taking actions to achieve that, so Mr Johnson no one is going to stop me !" I hung up on him and stuff the phone in my pocket.

I looked over at the rear view mirror and I made eye contact with Darius who nodded slightly at me.

###########

I was watching Darius interrogate Monica from the glass wall at the side of the interrogation room.

He sat on the other side of the table while Thelma stood by the side of Monica. I tucked my hands into the pocket of the my jacket and narrowed my eyes at Monica.

"Okay Monica, why were you poisoning your boss." I could hear Drake questioning her from the earphone he gave to me.

"He deserved what he got ." She smirked as she tilted her head to the side.

"What did he do ?" Darius asked her as he wrote on a note.

"He ruined my daughter's life ! That's what he did !" She shouted at him with tears rolling down her face.

My eyebrows furrowed as I heard those words, what did she mean when she said he ruined her daughter's life.

"Who's your daughter ?" Thelma asked her as she settled herself on the side of the table.

"Angie, she was a sweet girl,pretty and innocent not until she met Drake." Thelma and Darius shared a look as they turned their gaze back to her even I stepped closer to the glass wall..

"He impregnated her and while they were in college, he didn't want her to keep the baby and he made her abort it and she died !." Her words were like cold water running through my body. My face turned into a frown at the thought that she could just be making it up.

"How can we be sure you aren't lying to us ?" Thelma lowered her head so she could look closely at her face.

"Why would I lie about something like this, you can ask the devil himself." She gritted her teeth as she spoke. I trailed my hands through my hair at the thought that Drake could do something so stupid.

"So why wait all these years to avenge your daughter's death ?" Darius threw the Salk shaker at her.

"That's because I felt weak and helpless until a nice fellow cane my way, he also hated Drake and he told me what to do and I did it !" She smirked as she blew out air to remove strands of her hair from her face.

"Who's this fellow ?" Thelma asked her with her have fixed on Monica.

"That information would die with me." Her words made Darius hit his fists on the table.

"Listen! We've been patient with you all along so we'd like you to tell us who you are working for ." He lashed out at her but Monica was still smiling at him.

"You're the cops, figure that out." She gave a hint of sarcasm as she shrugged.

"It's Andre isn't it ?" Thelma clenched her teeth while she gave Monica deadly glares.

"I might be a sore mom but I don't associate myself with criminals besides Andre isn't part of my business." She relaxed back into her chair.

"So why were you sneaking out of the farm, the day after our planned ambush didn't work ?" Darius put out a photo of her sneaking from the barnyard on the table.

"That's where I report everything that happens to my boss and he gives me the poison in return." She looked at the picture blinking her eyes repeatedly.

"So you help the person with info and you get the poison to kill Drake." Thelma let out an unamused laugh and she lowered her face to be at the same level with Monica.

She put her face so close to Monica and gripped her chin firmly as she could look her in the eyes.

"Now this is the last time we are going to ask you, who are you working for ?!" Thelma shouted at her face with so much anger while Darius walked towards Monica.

"Monica if you don't tell us we'd put all charges on you and your boss goes free." He said calmly clicking the pen in his hands.

"Then take me away." Monica smiled and spat on Thelma's face. Thelma became very furious and slapped the daylight out of Monica's face.

"I'd make your stay in jail miserable !" She threatened Monica as Darius took her off the the chair and stormed out of the room.

I took out the earphone from my ear and shoved it in the hand of Thelma. I paced out for the station and walked for a while, breathing heavily and I could feel my head getting hot.

I can't believe my ears and what my eyes saw today, Drake made his girlfriend abort her pregnancy and not only is Andre out for us and other person is involved.

The thought of everything baffled me and it's beginning to frustrate me. I needed to be free my mind and talk to someone.

I decided to order an Uber so I could get to my destination, I knew where I was going and that's the reason why I started taking up more responsibilities - I was going to see Sekani.
