*THE NEXT DAY**
**AT THE CONFERENCE HALL**
Everybody sat still talking abouth the death of Chief Ali. Chief Ali’s wife sat also still in pains of her husband’s death and revenge in her eyes. The hall was a bit noisy. Police Officers stood at various edges of the hall.. Chief Williams and his wife sat also but didn’t say anything. Just then President Donatus walked in and everywhere became silent as they all stood up to greet
”This day is a very sad one for all of Us here” President Donatus said standing up.
”I am not going to rephrase the story neither will I say what happened because we all know that we have lost another pillar in this country” President Donatus said and raised up his head a little
”Politics is supposed to be a peaceful ground where people are their brother’s keepers but it’s now a battle field” President Donatus said and shook his head
”This nonsense won’t continue. We will pin down the culprit of this!” President Donatus said
”Yes! That’s it!” They all agreed but Chief Williams looked at them all not saying anything
”Now Chief Williams” President Donatus called and sat down
”We all know you and Chief Ali had a serious problem which almost led to a fight.” President Donatus said
”What is you say in this” He asked Chief Williams
”And what are you trying to insinuate your excellency” Chief Williams argied standing up immediately
”That I killed him or what?” He asked rhetorically
”You killed my husband Chief Williams” Mrs. Ali said in tears
”Listen woman I didn’t kill anybody” Chief Williams defended himself
”As a matter of fact, Chief Ali sent his men and shot at my thug and my househelp. As if that wasn’t enough, he sent his thugs at me twice to kill me” Chief Williams said angrily
”And how sure are you that he was the one?” President Donatus asked
”This is not a law court your Excellency. I didn’t kill him and that’s final!” Chief Williams said hitting his hands on the table
”You can’t deny it Chief Williams. We shall meet at the law court because the police is seriously investigating this matter” President Donatus said
”You are a killer and you will pay for it” Chief Muhammed a friend to Chief Ali said adjusting his agbada directly looking into Chief Williams eyes
”I bet you all will regret this statements of yours after the court room!” Chief Williams said and looked at his wife
”Let’s get out of here” He said to her and Mrs. Williams hissed at all of them following her hisband
”Chief Williams!” Mrs. Ali called out and he looked at her but she said nothing. Chief Williams turned around and left the arena and everyone began to murmur again
”We better settle this matter amicably, he might not be the one so as not to cause another problem” Chief Mustaphar, another prior member of the conference said but no one replied or reacted to his statement. Soon enough, the hall began to be empty as they left gradually..

”These people are daring me!” Chief Williams said as he entered his house with his wife
”But honey did you kill him?” Mrs. Williams asked
”Why shouldn’t I.. Or do you want him to kill me first?” Chief Williams said to his wife who fully supported it.
”How then are you going to deny this in court now even the President is involved” Mrs. Williams asked
”Leave me to think woman” Chief Williams said
”I don’t want my name to be on the television as the wife of a murderer, better think fast” Mrs. Williams said and went upstairs. Chief Williams paid deaf ears to her last statement looking very worried. Just then, One bullet and Spark entered
”Boss, you look worried, tell us what it is and let’s handle it Boss” One bullet said looking serious but Chief Williams looked at them
”Boss, your face no carry signal. Roger the matter make we handle am nah” Spark said but Chief Williams smiled
”Don’t worry my boys. I will handle it my way” Chief Williams said and dismissed them..

AT NIGHT SAME DAY
Chief Williams was busy sleeping and dreaming good dreams. His slow and warm rotation on the bed shows that nothing is bothering him at all. On the other hand, Mrs. William’s eye were widely open in thought. Although she laid down but she couldn’t sleep. As her thought became unbearable, she rose and sat on the bed looking at her husband who was sleeping deeply. She hissed and touched him
”Honey.. Honey please wake up” Mrs. Williams said with a frowned face. With sleepy eyes, Chief Williams yawned and raised his head
”Oooh!! What is it that can’t wait till morning” Chief Williams asked his wife
”Please wake up, we need to talk” Mrs. Williams said still frowning and Chief Williams dragged himself up
”Now, what is it?” Chief Williams asked
”I am still bothered what transpired today at the conference hall” Mrs. Williams said
”The court will nail us down and give us a bad name” She complained and Chief Williams looked at her
”Is that all?” He asked and Mrs. Williams was surprised at the question
”You don’t seem bothered at all honey” She said
”Why should I be bothered?” Chief Williams asked
”I have told you not to worry yourself, that I will take care of it. What else do you want me to say” Chief Williams said to her
”Please, if that’s all, kindly go and sleep… Good Night” Chief Williams said and laid down immediately
”So that’s all you have to say eeh.. I don’t want anything that will tarnish my name ooh.. Or else, I will just hand you over standing as a witness against you” Mrs. Williams said aloud but Chief Williams paid deaf ears to her. On seeing that her words were poured on a stone. She angrily laid down also and slept off…
**IN THE MORNING**
Chief Williams, Prof. Michael and Mrs. Williams were seen in the parlour. Their faces were not bright at all. Mrs. Williams and Prof. Michael sat down but Chief Williams stood up walking about
”Chief, please sit down” Prof. Michael said to Chief Williams who didn’t say any word
”This is just a minor matter Chief. I don’t see anything too harsh in this” Prof. Michael said and Chief Williams looked at him
”You don’t see anything harsh that I am being conspired against and my enemies wants me down?” Chief Williams asked in anger and Prof. Michael kept quiet
”Anger solves nothing, rather it adds to your pains.. What is it Chief?” The voice of Spartacus was heard from behind and Mrs. Williams became afraid seeing a dark guy with face covered with a mask. On hearing that Chief Williams smiled
”Some people thinks they can defeat a Lion in its den” Chief Williams said not looking at Spartacus
”They are planning a court case against me to bring me down but I can’t allow that happen” Chief Williams added and turned around looking at the Masky face of Spartacus
”I want you to delete all charges, make sure that court process do not hold! I don’t know how you will do it but, just make me win this case!” Chief Williams said without a smile on his face
”Don’t bother about your pay.. I will pay you richly” Chief Williams said and Spartacus exhaled
”Done!” He said and left
”Is that all?” Mrs. Williams asked
”How sure are you that he won’t fail?” Mrs. Williams asked again but nobody replied her
”Better be sure of this oo” Mrs. Williams added
”Shut up woman!!” Chief Williams barked at Mrs. Williams with an angry eye and Mrs. Williams stood up and left..
”Natasha!” Chief Williams called out
”Get me a glass of Red Wine” He ordered and sat down

”Sorry Ma, but you can’t go out alone” A Police officer said standing in front of her
” Why?” Cynthia asked
”It’s an order Madam” The Officer added
” What useless order.. From who?” Cynthia asked becoming a bit furious
”Your Father Madam” The Officer said
”That’s nonsense.. Arrant nonsense!” Cynthia said
”Get out of my way, I’m going out” Cynthia ordered
”So sorry Ma, either we go with you or you won’t go anywhere Ma” The Officer said not looking at her and Cynthia brought out her phone immediately
