The Voice - Episode 26
Cole opened his eyes slowly, it felt heavy and sunken red. His head ached and pounded with an headache as though it would rip off.
He steadied his eyes but darkness stared back at him. He peered hopelessly into the darkness. He heard a click and lights flooded the room.
He immediately closed his eyes as the brightness was too much.
Minutes later, he opened them already conscious to his environment.
Cole looked around the room.
What was this place?
The room was empty but dusty. No bed, no furniture except for a wooden chair which he was seated on.
The room had no windows, no other entry nor exit points aside from the one situated at the front.
He looked up at the high ceilings, he saw a small vent, it was probably what supplied air into the room.
Then he saw a picture on the wall, a beautiful smiling woman.
He looked closely, she looked familiar but he couldn’t figure out where she knew her and who she really was.
The door suddenly creaked open and a figure took shape.
“Hello detective” the voice said and Cole looked up . He blanched with utmost surprise.

(Hours Earlier)
Nora’s stomach sang a melodious tune to her ear but not at all melodious.
The worms were churning her stomach and she had grown old in a matter of weeks without food.
She stared at the food below her feet, fried rice garnished with assorted meats. It was such a delicacy she wouldn’t want to miss but hell no!
She wasn’t gonna eat like she had been doing for the past few weeks refusing to eat different types of delicacies brought to her by a masked man.
Her reason refusing to eat wasn’t far fetched from the fact that the food might be poisoned but she knew better

. It couldn’t have been poisoned.
More so, the masked man wouldn’t be so blunt to use poison since there are many ways he could use thus eating was the least on her mind.
Different thoughts had been throbbing her mind lately.
Reason why the masked man never showed her his face and there is the issue of Cole being an assassin, a dreaded killer at that.
Probably that was the reason why he never came looking for her.
She just couldn’t believe it, Cole a killer?
Tears welled up in her eyes threatening to spill, just a blink and it came rushing like a flowing river.
The hatred that engulfed her was way too much that she felt like strangling Cole herself if she ever set her eyes on him.
What a wicked soul? and he hid the truth from her all these while.
Nora was enflamed with immense hatred and it rekindled when the thought of suffering because of him flashed through her.
“Crying?” a voice said and Nora looked up.
The tears continued to spill and couldn’t clean it off as her hands were tied behind the chair.
She nodded with short gasps.
The masked man stooped low in front of her looking into her teary eyes.
He could see hatred in them and he smiled. He had just gotten what he wanted.
Nora would kill Cole herself and then, he would kill Nora.
