Total Love: Part 34 A GUNSHOT WAS HEARD. •••• Since the incidence of the acid has happened, Daniel had been following Darasimi around the school with the help of one of his room mates. They both sat to discuss ways of saving her from problem. Emmanuel, his room mate brought different ideas of knowing who the people had been trailing her and the ways to deal with them all. Theyve started going around with camera to record and take pictures as their evidence. Daniel had gone back to the palace too to pick the car that was brought for him by the King in case something will happen. Guy, are you this crazy for love? Emmanuel asked him wondering as he got down from the parked car. Sure, but youll help me a lot.. He uttered. Sure now, Ive started helping you. Emmanuel replied. Not only that, I want you to help me to be sleeping behind her hostel for like a month. He uttered. What! Na me dey date her! Emmanuel shouted. Well be sleeping in my car, no problem. He replied. No.. I still dont want that. Its not ideal, if you die because of her, who told you she wont marry again! Emmanuel convinced. I know but I must still protect her. He replied. We both know that the security of the hostel is now tough, if at all anyone wants to catch her, it should be in the afternoon and well always follow her. Emmanuel said. But this work will be tiresome. We wont have rest? Dan laughed. Na you wey wan protect now. Emma laughed. ... It was Monday morning, Darasimi was off to the lecture hall, dressed in a pencil jeans and fitted blouse. She had her handbag on her and was looking beautiful. Everywhere was quiet and people were scanty. The guys got down from the car and drugged her into the car and ran off. They were behind the hostel as quick as possible and had been following her till they saw what happened. They zoomed off after the car immediately, looking so afraid. Should we call the police? Emmanuel asked. No.. Why not the policemen? He asked trembling with fear. I dont have any number that leads there now! Theyll be late sef. You know too, we dont know what theyd have done before those useless policemen arrive! Are those stuffs in the booth? He shouted reducing his speed so that he wont be suspected. Yes. Stop shouting jurh, Im dead afraid, running after hired killers with just siren radio and bangers. He shivered. ... They got her to an uncompleted building as wished and tied her with a rope against a pillar at the second floor. They got a place that was very quiet and no one will ever believe some one was there. The princess and her friends were already gathered there also and rounded her up, staring at her angrily. The boss of the hired assassins already stood at Daras from laughing wickedly, Darasimis vision was blurred then and couldnt see properly. Daniel and Emmanuel were by the bush side. I guess they want to kill her now! Emmanuel shivered. They lighted a banger stick with them and threw if further. The radio siren was also gotten and everything turned out to be as if the policemen were around. A GUNSHOT WAS HEARD. It was a banger sound but everyone dismissed immediately and on hearing the siren, they didnt wait but all ran away. Emmanuel was busy recording and taking pictures from where they were so as to use as an evidence for the policemen. They waited for a little time and could see from where they were hiding that everyone had ran away, they ran up and untied her, straight to the hospital and picked things that can serve as their evidences. •••• Emmanuel and Daniel were at the reception discussing about all that happened that day. But you are rather brave and strong. For us to have followed and use bangers as our gun and dismiss them all. But Im still eager about something. Do you think the policemen would listen to this? Emmanuel asked Why wont they? We have our evidences. The pictures, video, the handbag of the princess we met at the scene too. He replied. But, we might have died if not for Gods mercy, using a banger and trailing hired-killers. Emmanuel said still shivering. Its Gods mercy. I dont have any policemans number and before we start describing everything, and before theyd get there the man at her front might have killed her, she might have died if wed not been following her! He uttered, his heartbeat still beating at a fast rate. The Doctor came out to them. Both stood up at him immediately. Was she drugged? The Doctor asked. Yes ma, she was. Dan quickly replied. Hmmn.. The Doctor sighed. Can I see her parents? She asked. You can tell us anything. Emmanuel said. Im sorry.. ... Im sorry, I must see her parents. The Doctor uttered. We dont know her parents, we saw her lying on the floor and decided to help her. Emmanuel said. Im only curious about how youre going to pay for her bills. Shes now okay. The Doctor replied. Dan laughed. Thats simple, Ill go pay to the cashier right away. Daniel replied. Okay, the cashier will tell you the amount that should be paid. She said and left. •••• Daniel took Darasimi home and headed to the police station with Emmanuel. They reported the case and involved the policemen immediately who also started their investigations about the case. The policemen got to the princess place and got them all arrested. They were detained while the King was called about his daughters case. The evidences were all dropped and the case began. Winnie, the Doctor, Philosopher and Tony all got on their way to the Kingdom that same day. They got to the Kingdom and started asking of places till they got to the Palace. They didnt meet the King and decided to wait a little longer. The King was in the Police station with the D.P.O. The Queen was also present there with the King sorting out the issue of their daughter and her friends. Daniel was there with them seated with his friend and smiling. The D.P.O insisted on the fact that he wont release the princess and her friends to the King, no matter what he insists on. The Princess and her friends must have been the ones that killed the girl, Deola, upon trying to kill Darasimi. The officer said. My daughter isnt a hired killer! Im the King of this Kingdom and I have the authority over everyone! He exclaimed. That was what you said the other day sir. Now, weve not concluded our investigations. One of the princess friends has gone with my guys to get the killers here, from there well know what to do. He replied. Its the king thats before you! He frowned. The officer laughed out. This is not the issue of being the King. Being the King doesnt mean a princess should be doing things anyhow. He replied. The King couldnt talk and was quiet, he didnt know if he should stand up or remain seated. As a king, that will be his second time that his daughter will be arrested. He kept staring at the D.P.Os face continually. Im sorry your highness, its just a matter of getting a good lawyer that can save you from this. The D.P.O concluded. •••• The King walked out of the police station and saw Daniel seated by the bar. What are you doing here? He asked surprisingly. Em.. I came.. He stammered. Because of my daughter right? The king asked smiling to him. I guess he now loves her. He thought in him and walked out. Daniel rushed after him, what did the D.P.O say about it? He quickly asked. He said hes not going to release her. There are strong evidences backing her case up. But why must she do this? The King asked frowning. So he hasnt known Im the one.. Daniel thought in him. The King entered into his car and off he was driven to the palace. He got to the palace and met Winnie, the Doctor and the Philosopher around. Tony was in the car parked behind the palace. The King was in real anger as he entered into the palace and met visitors waiting for him. I wont be able to talk to you now. He addressed and walked in instantly. The Queen was still in the police station. She sat there thinking a royal majesty in a police cell. Had I known, I should have eliminated this Darasimi right from time. She continued thinking of different things. The D.P.O came out looking blamed and faced the sergeants. Release them all. He uttered. Release? One of them asked staring at him. Yes, order from above said we should release them. He uttered. Urgh... The sergeant understood immediately, order from the commissioner of police. He shook his head. The princess and her friends were released with immediate effect. •••• Winnie and others left the palace immediately after the King neglected them to the car. They explained everything to Tony, and thought of going back. Tony refused to return. Is the Queen there? He asked. No.. They replied. I must see them and let them know the kind of woman that the Queen is. He uttered. Do you think youll be save there? Winnie asked looking at him. Absolutely nothing will happen. He replied. He got down and walked into the palace and was allowed in. The King had already gotten the call that his daughter and her friends had been released then, he came downstairs to refresh himself and get his anger off him. Tony walked into the palace and looked around. This place has really changed. He thought to himself. The Queens car started hooting outside, he entered into the living room and saw the King seated on his throne, the glass cup with him dropped immediately. He still recognized him, Tony walked more closer to him smiling. Its me Raymond, you dont need to fear. He uttered as he walked closer, the King stood up and terribly afraid, he began to move backwardly as Tony moved closer. To..... Tony.. The King stammered out. Im alive, Ray. He replied and continued walking closer. The Queen walked into the living room smiling that she eventually got her daughter and her friends out of their problem. She was smiling in as she saw the King afar and a man moving closer to him. •••• Part 35 @11 am
