Let It Go - Episode 7

 

LET ME FIRSTLY DISH THIS ONE BEFORE I TALK.

Kennie put his phone on speaker in his car and dialed his secretary’s number. She picked up after the third beep

“Hello Jenny, good morning” 

“Good morning sir. How do you do?”

“How do you do?” he replied. “Uhh Jenny, sorry I was a bit harsh yesterday . Hope you are not too offended”

“Not at all sir. I understand. Hope the disagreement has been settled” she asked in a concerned tone.

“Not yet. That is the main reason I’m calling. I need your help”

“I will love to render. How can I help sir?”

“You were telling me about a woman that came with my fiancée yesterday”

“Yes sir. A woman came with her but didn’t finally come with her to my desk”
 
“How did you now see them?”

“Actually sir, your fiancée has been around for some minutes before she finally came in. I saw her outside with a woman talking. She seemed restless. It looked like the woman was keeping her from coming. It was when I went to get tea from the nearby shop that I saw them but they didn’t see me, maybe because I entered with the crowd”

“Waohh” he said as he turned a corner. “Okay Jen

. Do you recognize the woman? Or can you at least describe her?”

“Not really sir. She wore a scarf but let me try with the description. She’s fair, not as tall as Miss Maddy but almost as tall. She’s plump too”

Ken sighed. He couldn’t tell who the lady was from the vague description but at least he has a hint. 

“Thanks Jen. You’ve really helped out a lot. You’re the best”

“And you are also the best sir. Thank God. Please settle the issue on time, I’m craving party jollof o” she replied with laughter.

“Abi. Prepare for it. Ooh and cancel all my appointments for the day. Attend to the ones you can, like the one with Miss Bridget”

“Okay sir, no problem. God help you sir. Have a lovely day”

“Amen. And you too” he replied and cut the call.

Plump, moderately tall, fair, should be an accomplice of Rita. 

He thought over and over in his mind. Could it be…Abigail? Abigail is plump, moderately tall and fair. But what would be Abigail’s motive? She is Rita’s in-law and Maddy’s friend.

“This is so twisted!” he said, confusion evident in his voice. He parked and dialed Nancy’s number, put the phone on speaker and continued to drive. Nancy picked up after the first beep.

“Hey Nancy, how are you?”

“Ken. I’m good. You?”

“Same. Did Maddy listen to you?”

“Not at all. I left after she insulted me plenty o. I was even thinking you may be with her. She’s not yet at the hospital”

“Waohh, this situation is getting uglier. I’m not with her o. I’ve even passed her house now” he said, looking out the window. “There’s traffic obstruction here o and I’m close to the hospital”

“That’s strange” Nancy replied.

“Anyway, do you know who Maddy was with yesterday morning before the incident? I’m thinking…” he was interrupted by a knock on his glass.

“Well, I don’t really know but I heard her mention…”

“Sorry, Nancy.

. I’ll call you later. Don’t be annoyed” he said as he wind down his glass.

“Okay, it’s cool” Nancy said and he hung up. 

He turned to the man knocking on the glass pane. 

“Please help us sir” the man said, pointing forward with his left hand. 

Ken looked confused. “We need a car, we can’t get the ambulance and people aren’t willing to help. Please help us sir” 

“Okay, let me see” Ken said and got down from his car. He followed the man and pushed through the multitude of people standing at the scene of the accident. He finally got to the scene and the sight made him gasp. 

“Maddy?!” he shouted and knelt beside the unconscious lady.

“You know her?” the man asked

“Yes, she’s my fiancée. I was on my way to see her at the hospital. Oh My God!” his voice shook as tears rolled down his cheeks.

“What a small world” the man said in disbelief. 

“Oya carry her” he said to Ken while he and another man carried the bike man, then the car driver into Kennie’s car.

God, don’t let Maddy die

Kennie prayed over and over in his mind as he stepped on the accelerator.

SO KENNIE FOUND MADDY, NOT JUST WHERE HE EXPECTED. LET US PRAY FOR MADDY O hehehe. HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLUWALOTOMIWA. WISHING YOU ALL THE LOVE YOUR HEART CAN TAKE.
