Chapter Ten

"Mom. Thanks for the money. I have gotten everything I need. I will be moving by tomorrow. I still have #80,000 with me" said Sarah appreciatively.

"Ok. No problem. Please, your brother forgot a bail file at home. Can you help him take it to his station? He is in need of it now" said Mrs Smith stretching out a file to Sarah.

"Ok. I will. Please wait. Let me change" said Sarah as she collected the file from her mother and ran upstairs.

Few minutes later, she came back downstairs and made her way to the station.

"Good afternoon. Please, I am looking for my brother. His name is Officer Paul" asked Sarah from a man whose name tag read 'Officer Michael' as she got to the station.

"Oh! He happens to be a close friend of mine but he never told me he had an angel as a sister" flattered Micheal. "Thanks" replied Sarah smiling at him.

"Can I have your digits, please" asked Micheal. "Of course, you can" said Sarah as she collected his phone, typed her digits and returned it.

It was at this time Paul came out. "Big Sis. Thank God, you are here. Where's the file" inquired Paul. "Here it is" answered Sarah as she brought the file out of her handbag.

"Oh. By the way. Here's Micheal, my friend. He is way older than me. He is 30 and he..." explained Paul.

"Must you say it" interrupted Michael. "Don't be annoyed. He's always like that" said Miss Smith. "Don't bother" said Michael.

"Sorry. I have to go now" apologized Sarah. "It was nice meeting you. Hope to see you soon" said Micheal smiling and staring at her until she was out of sight. "Your sister is so beautiful" remarked Micheal to Paul. "I know, right. Quick. Let's get this file to the boss" said Paul as he went in closely followed by Michael.

"Good morning mom. I've packed my things. I'll come and take them after work. I'm almost late" said Sarah hurrying to get to work early. "Alright dear" replied Mrs Smith.

Sarah always had a 10-minutes walk as she didn't have money to buy a car yet. On her way, she saw the back view of someone who was also hurrying like her. "Is this not Ella" thought Sarah. "Excuse me, hello" called out Sarah. The person looked back and the person turned out to be Ella. "Wow! It's been a long time. How are you" exclaimed Sarah. "You look gorgeous. How's work, our doctor? I can see you're all dressed up" asked Ella in surprise. "You're not looking bad as well. Work has been okay for me. Ah! Ah! Our one and only chartered accountant. Is money coming in" asked Sarah. "It's fine. Life has been treating us well" answered Ella in a different tone.

"How about the other girls. Have you gotten in touch with any of the girls? Sorry for expelling you, then. I just don't know what happened" pleaded Ella.

"No. Infact. Not even one. I don't know their whereabouts" lied Ella. "Okay. Sorry for what I did" pleaded Sarah again. "No. Don't worry. It doesn't matter since we are well established now" lied again Ella.

"Here's my card. Bye. I'm already late for work" said Sarah as she removed a card from her handbag and gave it to Ella walking away hurriedly.
