Inmate

CHAPTER 4

At least I'll see my sister. Since last night I haven't seen her, I didn't know my actions could hurt her that badly. For God's sake am also an adult,can't I live my life the way I want.

" Pwaaa" the pillow hit my face and I looked up to see my mom.

" What was that?" I asked trying to look angry

" You better watch your tone young lady" mom said raising my second pillow up. I raised my hands up as she laughed.

"Good morning ma". I said looking at her. She Drew me in a hug and kissed my forehead. That said a lot.

" We will be going to the hospital" she gave me puppy eyes then turned serious. " No argument, give that to frank". My mind went to frank,his muscles trying to show under his shirt and how his eyes shoe dangerously.

" Why are you zoning?" My mom said smiling at me like she knew what was in my mind.

" What's the smile for mom" I said standing up and grabbing a pillow. She ran around d the room and I couldn't believe she's a lawyer. What will her employees do when they see her. The door flew open and nabila came in. The mood immediately changed, "mom can I talk to you privately."I felt slapped but I need her now. I went on my knees and I felt tears coming out.if she ignores me I'll spank her

" Am sorry that I am not the sister you wanted". I looked around. My mind went to the last movie I watched. God it's not easy trying to apologise to your younger one. I remembered saying the sister was bad at apologising. I guess am worse. I looked at her,

" I don't need you to forgive me now. But Don't be like me ignoring your family. I need you before I die, I need your love nabila."

"Time to go " nabil said coming in the room smiling like always. Ooh how I love my brother. " Hurry up please I don't want dad Changing his mind".

" Of course he won't" I said getting up and holding him.

" Ewww Hal you smell" he said smirking

" Out of my room" I said bending to pick my shoe and he ran laughing.i turned and my sister hugged me.

" Don't you ever think of leaving us again" she said seriously" we'll make your last months feel like eternity". I hugged her back. What a nice way to start the day

" I know you love the view" my sister said interrupting my thoughts and held my hands.

" I guess too bad you'll be stuck with your client" nabil said

" Sis I think you should.just leave the case.i don't want Seria killers like him wandering round this beautiful city"

" Serial killer!" Nabil said" he just killed once"

" Yeah but a whole lot of people"

" That still doesn't make him one" nabil defended

" But he derives pleasure huh"

" Are you trying to say psychopath?" Nabil siad laughing as his ice cream fell on his shirt

" That's Dior right?" I got in their argument and they both sigh rolling their eyes" you can't go around treating the cloth that way. You know how much it cost".

" What do you want me to do, put on a napkin?. Beside I see ice cream in your shirt too."

" Not obvious like yours, beside how did you see it?." I asked feeling shy and they laughed.

" Pot calling kettle black"

" You don't know what you got till it's gone" I said and walked off with them behind. Speaking of frank I have to go into his case seriously. He is getting on my nerves. I mean he is rich, like stupidly rich. He has an airport with two branch. He sells jets and weapons to the US military . How did he got involved in this scandalous act and the government are trying their best to put him behind bars"

She looked at me with an amused but serious look."no he didn't try to commit suicide,he walked to the airport amd was caught" she said looking at her ring. I never got a wedding ring

" Why expose yourself when committing such crime and he had no idea yet his wife was on the train" nabila chirped in

" What do you mean?"

" Just like the movie money heist. Everything was planned beforehand, the only time they acted rashly was when professor was caught by the female FBI" I looked at her" are you dumb?, Suicide comes when you have no feedback or lost and suicide is by those with undying loyalty" it dawned on me

" Are you saying that there is an accomplice" my mom raised an eyebrow

" Or a lot more than an accomplice" Nabila looked at us" If you want to be given attention because you took a lot of lives, you don't try to take your life. You show the world you are proud of your work" she didn't realize what she was saying and it's impact, I looked at mom and her eyes were wild

"What if he was done and wanted to die"

" Then he'll leave a note to the world" she concluded looking at me" telling them that you took people's life no one stopping them and you'll take yours no one stopping you" she jumped up like she achieved something.

I looked at mom" whoever is his accomplice is out there and if frank is gone he will still be out there"

I reasoned what she said and we both got up as dad looked at us. " We'll be back"

.....................

" So what you got on him" mom asked as I checked him out f*******:.

" No friends and just a picture of his wife" I looked at her , she was beautiful. Her buldgy brown eyes and her full lips with a black coloured lipstick. Wierd i also love it.

" Check Hailey frank" my mom said and I typed it, it was his wife

" Ya Allah" I said

" What?"

" She got like millions of followers,both on i********: and Twitter"

" Celebrity life" mom whispered as she drove us to Albert correctional center.too bad she's dead now, she got like almost the world following heron social media.

When we got in. The officer gave us a wierd look.

" We are here for Mr frank"

Which prisoner?"

" Am sure you've seen us before to know the celebrity we came for?" I said giving him a warning look as he went to bring frank

" What was that for?" Mom asked nudging me

" What it is" I replied sarcastically as frank made his way walking slowly. God Soo annoying" can you please walk faster" I said as he looked at me and stopped

" You don't tell me what to do" his voice coming out like he owned the place

" Do what you want to do" I replied sitting down" it not we have all the time in the world"

" I remember telling you that your service here is rendered useless"

" I do have all time to put up with your bullshit Mr frank .Everyone got a bad day, mine is today. I was spending time with my family and remembered I have to meet with you"

" It was a volunteering situation. Not like I came to your house with a gun to your head and said you should take my case"

" Like you are not shouting someone should help you come out and commit same crime "

" If you don't want me out why are you here?"

" Look stop throwing questions at me when you can't even answer my questions"

" Is like boyfriend hasn't come back apologizing, are you usually this fiesty to guys?" He bent his head

" I know your little secret" I said

" Not like it's a secret dear attorney" I saw fear flicker in his eyes. He is scared, but what is he scared of.

" I know you aren't the only one in this, just the name and we'll get your punishment reduced" I said and his jaw clenched, hands I fist and his eyes steady. I think I should take psychology. He definitely is hiding something. I turned to my mom and she saw it too.

He looked at me like I was drunk" you want me to have an accomplice?"

" Are you trying to tell me you had an accomplice?" I said as i looked at his face. He was wet ,sweating.

" If you want" he smiled, a forced and scared smile

" Can you tell me about your wife" if he flare it's definite he isn't alone. And if he doesn't flare, he is not alone.

" That's private" ooh no flaring but dodging

" I need everything to bring justice, whether you killed or didn't kill I want justice. Please make it easy for me. " I gave him a sad look. I should try acting.

" Do I look like I want to make this easy for you." What does that mean" if you want to answers, we have the news station outside this place"

" So you think your wife wants this to end like this for you?"

" Whatever you are trying to get out of me is far from me,I can't say am innocent"

" Did I tell you you look like one?" I asked looking surprised. He got up and and brought his head closer, raising his hand to my face. What on Earth Is he doing. his fingers brushed my veil and face lightly as he held my gaze. He unhooked my pin holding the veil and it poured down revealing my neck. His hand went to my neck as it isn't shiver round my body. Instead of thinking of the pin on my neck I was thinking of his touch. His cologne hit my nose, even in prison he still smelt of luxury.

" I can kill you now" he said in my ear.

" You would have done it long ago. Did you tell your wife that when she boarded the plane"

His hand came in contact with my neck as my mom shrieked. It was cold, I didn't know if it was his touch or the pin. " You can't kill anyone, you just proved it"

He pushed me " the next time you'll be dead"he said leaving

" Ooh there's a next time Mr frank. I see you are loving my company, our company." He turned and he gave me a challenging look. Arrogant brat.

My mom started packing and we went to the car.i didn't see the officer who challenged me, but I remember from his badge his name was Batson.

" That was intense" my mom said looking at me

" Scary" I said putting g on my headset.

" Such chemistry" I paid less attention as I put on celine Dion ' inevitable'.the world should wait behind for now.
