Love Of An Assassin – Episode 2

Written by danyyoung

“Ouuuhhch” Riman groaned out loudly, stretching out his arms as he woke up from bed. He stared at his wife who was sleeping peacefully beside him.

He smiled satisfactorily to himself. He had gotten a perfect wife, a rare gem, beautiful and domestically agile. A good cook and a super hero in bed. He lowered his unwashed mouth and kissed her to the forehead and then drew the white blanket to cover her properly.

Riman stood up from the bed and headed to the window. He drew the curtain to one side and peep through it. The early morning cool breeze blew on him vehemently.

“Thank God the rain is over,” he whispered to himself and drew the curtain back. He immediately left for the bathroom, but he stopped when he remember something. He hadn’t check on his lovely daughter that morning. Slowly, he changed his direction to her room. It was a well furnished room with a nice decoration. When he got they,he raised up his hand to knock but quickly came against such thought. He might wake up her from her sleep.

Gently, he turned the door knob open and pushed the door in carefully. He tip toed inside and met his daughter sleeping peacefully. He walked up to her and gave her a passionate kiss before tip toeing outside. He immediately headed for the bathroom where he had his morning brush. Through with brushing,he headed to the kitchen to help himself with a glass of water.

Few minutes in the kitchen, he left hurriedly to the bedroom at the sound of his ringing phone

“Hello,” his voiced sang out to the phone when he had picked it. He turned it to loud speaker and place the phone gently in his ear.

“DPO Port Harcourt divisional police station, am I speaking to Detective Riman” a huge voice spoke out from the other end. His voice sounded so urgent.

“Yes sir, any problem?” Det Riman asked politely.

“Yes, report to the station as soon as possible,” the voice spoke again and the phone went dead silent.

“Huh, can’t this man give me a little breathing space at least, is it my fault am one of the best detective there?” Riman said sadly and sight. He reluctantly headed to the bathroom and had a quick bath

Within a space of twenty minutes, he was already done dressing up. He wrote a short note stating his whereabout and placed it beside his wife. He took his short pistol gun and tucked it inside his dress before heading outside.

Getting outside the house, his Camry car was neatly parked. He walked up to the car, turn on the car engine and off he went in a high speed that generated some series of dust in the air.

============

PORTHARCOURT DIVISIONAL POLICE STATION

Riman drove speedily into the police station and parked his car at the parking lot. He came down almost immediately his car came to an halt and headed straight to the DPO’s office greeting some few officers.

“Knock knock knock,” he said softly and tap the door handled gently.

“Come in, the door is open” the DPO,a rough looking man shouted from inside.

Detective Riman pushed the door open and stepped inside.v”Morning sir” he greeted smoothly with sarcasm in his voice.

The DPO nodded and gestured him a seat. He sat down.

“Morning boy” the DPO responded with a cracky voice. The expression on his face was sad. He was not smiling at all. His face was rough with two tribal mark embedded in it. Something was wrong. He was disturbed.

“Sir, you sent for me” Riman voiced out after a long silence, with the old man momentarily shaking his head.

“Yes i did. There is problem and I want you to be in charge of it” the DPO said revealing his coloured teeth which portray him to be a chain smoker.

“Okay sir, what’s the problem?” Riman asked mischievously, quite confused.

“I received a call this morning notifying me that Chief Elvis is dead” the DPO released the bombshell. “He was found dead this morning together with his wife and the gateman by his guards who immediately reported to the station” the DPO concluded exchanging a glance with Riman

“Jesus! Honestly I’m speechless, this is ridiculous” Riman said with a sad voice. He was really sorry for chief and his wife. His face was soaked with sweat, beads of perspiration ran down his face .”If I’m not mistaken, this is the third murder case reported to us in just two months”

“Yeah, that’s why I want you to handle this case with all perfection. I want you and your men to go to the crime scene and do some investigation there.

“Okay sir,” detective Riman said, stood up saluted and left to gathered his men.

Love Of An Assassin – Episode 3

…..

“Funny how bad news travels very fast. Maybe just or even faster than the speed of light” Leo thought. He was seated in his house watching television, news channel to be precise, the DPO a rough looking man was busy trying to calm everyone down.

He smiled, the DPO was busy making promises, empty promises as he bragged on catching the assassin and sending him behind bars.

Leo knew that was impossible. He is a trained assassin from Spain. Before he can or would get caught, then there must be someone that will be able to match his skills to stand up against him. As for now, he couldn’t find any worthy opponent, the cops were like rags to him. The army were even better but yet they couldn’t and can’t catch him.

He had killed some high ranking Chiefs and gotten away safely, unharmed, he was sure no one will ever catch him.

His phone rang bringing his thoughts back to life. He picked the phone and smiled at the caller’s ID.

“Hello Chief”

“Well done Leo, you did a nice job, I love that, the job is a clean one”the Chief replied from the other end.

“So chief, what’s up with our deal?”

“Haven’t you received the alert yet? I have sent the money about ten minutes ago”.

“Ok chief, I will check my phone again”

“Alright, ensure your phone is always switched on. I still have some business proposals for you. For now,enjoy yourself” the chief said and ended the call.

Just then, an alert rang out and he clicked on the message app.

“Fifteen million naira was transfered to your account 453********,Eco bank.

“Wow, you have kept to your part of the deal Chief, thanks”

===============

Detective Riman and few other cops with some scientist from the forensic department drove to the crime scene.

As usual, the whole place was either sealed up or surrounded with yellow and black tape.

“Spread out, ensure you get something useful” Riman commanded and the search party began.

“i swear sir, we were watching inside the house the whole time, the criminal didn’t pass through the door as you may think” one of the guard said fearfully. True to his words, they had been inside the living room the whole time and didn’t hear any noise or suspect anything.

Before the guard was a sergeant, he was busy interrogating the frightful body guard while a junior officer that stood behind the sergeant was busy writing and recording everything.

“Did you happen to hear any sound?” the sergeant asked eagerly. It was clear that he was tired with interrogating everyone and was looking forward to going home.

“Yes” the body guard replied. “But it wasn’t that of a gunshot. I faintly heard the sound of a shattered glass but i thought the maids were the one that broke a cup or something”

“Did you go and check what made the sounds?

“No sir”

“Ok, you can now go” the sergeant said. “But don’t go far, your help might be needed anytime soon, next”

“Sir, come and see this!!!”A junior officer shouted at Riman.

Riman quickly ran over and smiled, his officer just found a nice clue.

“it looks like the AC is pressed inside. This only happens when something heavy is kept on the AC.” Riman said.

“You are right sir, but what if the assassin was actually the one that climbed on the AC and use it as an aid to climb the high building” a young officer suggested.

“You are right. I hope you guys have gotten something useful too” Riman asked the forensic scientists.

“Yes” they all shouted.

“Good, let’s head back to the station there’s still much work to be done.” Riman commanded and the other officers obeyed.
