The scene was flooded with the medics, the press and some CID officials.
The press were talking to the medics while the camera men were taking pictures of the scene. Different sounds of sirens blared outside, some onlookers gathered distance away, they couldn’t come any closer as the house was sealed with the CID yellow tape.

Cole bent down and uncovered the body, he was the only CIB cop that was present at the scene.
Cole stared hard at the body, the blood was still gushing out from the stomach side and the guard’s phone was beside him but the screen was broken.

. he could tell he was shot while making the call but who could have done this?

The killer made it look like a trap

Why is the killer setting him up?

“Sir, your attention is needed in the CID interrogation room.” Cole heard a voice behind him and he sprung to his feet swirling around . It was a young CID cop.

Cole shook his head, he was in for questioning.
“Alright I’ll be there soon” Cole said and glanced back at the body.

“No sir, I was ordered to bring you along immediately.” The young cop said fearfully.

Cole blanched, he stared at the young cop for a while. He was dressed in the CID uniform, the boy was probably a sergeant.

The boy’s leg twitched with uneasiness, the glare was making him scared.

“Who sent you?” Cole asked without taking off his gaze.

“Inspector kunle”

Cole smiled, he knew all along that it would be him but anyway he was going to prove who the boss really is.

“Let’s go” Cole said and they both left the building.

Minutes later, Cole found himself in the CID building.
The building wasn’t that tall compared to the CIB but it was well equipped with computer facilities.
Cole sat on a chair, there was an empty table in front of him

. the room was empty too except for the chairs and table.
Cole looked up, there were cameras hung up in the four corners of the room.
The door suddenly flung open and Inspector kunle stepped in, he trotted to the table and sat opposite Cole.

He dropped a file on the table and gazed at Cole for a while before he eventually spoke.
“Good readings to you detective Cole, I see you’re surprised at the turn of things”

Cole kept mute and stared into the air, he wasn’t going to talk.
Inspector kunle noticed the mood he switched to, he shook his head. that wasn’t going to stop him from doing his job.

“Detective, do you have any personal issue with the Guard?”

Cole looked up at him, his mouth pouted in abhorrence.

“Oh you ain’t gonna talk huh?” Inspector kunle said in a raised pitched voice.

“After you killed the guard, you wanna prove innocent here by not.. "

“Spare me that fucking crap!” Cole angrily slammed the table.

His eyes widened as realization hit him, what did he just do?
They are watching! everybody’s watching!

Cole heaved a sigh and readjusted his sitting position.

“Ready to talk?”_ inspector kunle smiled.

“Not really but I will in all diligence.”

kunle smiled again. He brought out the guard’s broken phone and a small android device.

“Look” inspector kunle showed him the device.

Cole squinted his eyes, he saw a number on the call logs of the device.

“What’s this for?” Cole asked in a hoarse voice.

Inspector kunle frowned. “Isn't’t that your number?”

Cole squinted again, it really was his.

“It's mine”

“He called you last and then he was killed”

“I didn’t kill him” Cole said tentatively.

“I didn’t say you killed him” inspector kunle objected.

Cole twitched on the chair. this wasn’t going well at all.

Nora twitched in pain and discomfort as a bucket of cold water was poured on her face, her eyes opened slowly. Her vision was blur at first and she felt drowsy, she was seeing more than fifty faces staring down at her. It took her sometime before her vision became clear, then she saw a man seated on a chair with his legs crossed.

She looked around the room, squinting her eyes to accommodate the light as her head pounded with an headache, the room was quite empty.

She tried to sit comfortably, but only ended up groaning loudly.

She was strapped to a chair, hands and legs firmly tied.

What’s happening?

She couldn’t recall what happened or how she got there.

It all looked like a mystery to her.

“Where am I?” her voice shrieked.
