Chapter 40
Mia put a kettle of water on the fire and brought out the coffee jar.
She added two spoon each on three cups and waited for the water to boil. When the water was boiled, she poured it on the cups and stirred it. She gave one cup to Dorothy and took the second cup for herself.
“I don’t think that the person that broke into my house was looking for money” Mia said.
“Why did you say that?” Dorothy asked.
“Because if it was someone that was looking for money, then my whole house would be scattered but that was not the case” she said.
“So are you saying that the person intentionally ransacked your room? What could be the reason for that?” Dorothy asked.
“Yeah I think so” Mia replied.
“Ma’am” the detective called.
“I am coming” Mia replied and they both came out of the kitchen and entered the living room.
“Here is some coffee” Mia said giving the detective the third cup of coffee.
“Thanks” he said and collected it from her.
“So what did you find out?” Dorothy asked.
“It is definitely a break in but it look suspicious” detective John replied.
“Why is it suspicious?” Mia asked.
“It is suspicious because it seem the person was targeting your room alone, like the thing he was looking for is at your room” he replied.
“So you are saying that it was intentional?” Dorothy asked.
“Yes and I advice that both of you should not sleep here tonight” he replied.
“And you should come to the station tomorrow to write a statement” he said to Mia.
“OK I will be there tomorrow, thank you detective” Mia said.
“Glad that I could help, I will take my leave then” he said and went out of the house.
Dorothy started pacing back and forth in the living room, “this is bad, very bad” she said.
“I am so scared Doro, what should I do?” Mia asked.
“Don’t worry the police will find the culprit” Dorothy assured.
“The person that broke into this house must have been watching me to know when I leave the house so that he can come in” Mia said.
“No Mia don’t think like that, it is not true” Dorothy said.
“It might be true Doro” Mia said.
“Believe me it is not, I kn…” Dorothy was interrupted by the ringing of her phone.
She picked it up and Calvin immediately asked her “where are you?”.
“I am at Mia’s house, someone broke into it” she replied.
“What !, I hope you guys have left the house?” He asked.
“No we ha….”
“Lock the doors and stay inside, I am coming” he said and hang up.
“That’s your husband right?” Mia asked.
“Yes he said that we should lock the doors and stay here that he is coming” Dorothy replied.
“OK let me lock the front door” Mia said and went to the door and locked it.
She came back to the living room and sat down with Dorothy.
“Have you locked it?” Dorothy asked.
“Yes” she replied.
“So your husband said that he is coming?” Mia asked and Dorothy nodded in response.
“OK” Mia said.
Dorothy’s phone rang and she picked it, “come outside” Calvin ordered.
“He has arrived” Dorothy said to Mia.
“Wow he was quick” Mia said.
“Let’s go” Dorothy said and they stood up from the chair and went out of the house.
They went towards the black car that was parked outside the house which was Calvin’s car.
Calvin rolled down the back seat window and said to them “get in”.
Dorothy entered the back seat while Mia sat with the driver and the car drove away.
In a room of a very luxurious hotel, Mrs Robertson was seen having her dinner when someone knocked on the door.
“Come in” she said.
The door opened and Clark came in with a guy.
“Here is the document ma” the guy said and places the document on the table.
“Perfect” she said and took the document and opened it and started going through it.
Clark and the other guy looked at her face to see any reaction but they saw none.
She then closed the document and kept it back on the table.
“What is your name young man?” She asked the guy.
“Steve ma” he replied.
“By any chance Steve, did you open this document and read it?” She asked.
“No ma, I could never do something like that” he replied.
“Hmm I see” she said.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“So how will you be paying me ma, cash, cheque or transfer?” Steve asked.
“I will be paying you by this” she replied and poured her hot coffee on his face.
“Argh” Steve screamed holding his face and fell on the floor.
“Ma” Clark called.
“Clark why don’t you take a look at this document” Mrs Robertson said.
Clark took the document and opened it, the first page was boldly written “HOW TO APPLY A MAKEUP TO LOOK NATURAL”.
“This is not the document” Clark said.
“Exactly” she replied.
Clark kept the document back on the table and dragged Steve up from the floor and punched him on the face.
“Why did you bring this document to her? Where is the document we asked you to bring?” Clark asked.
“I swear, this was the only document that I took from there, it was placed at a very hidden place so I thought it might be the document so I took it” he replied.
“Please have mercy on me” he pleaded.
“You got her hopes high for nothing, you don’t deserve mercy” Clark said.
“Please take him out of here and deal with him, did you tell Marcy that the document have been found?” she asked.
“No ma” Clark replied.
“Never mention what happened here to her, no matter what” she ordered.
“OK ma” he replied.
“Take him out now” she ordered.
“Right away ma” Clark said and dragged the pleading Steve out of the room.
