She grabbed her bag.
“Where are you going?”
“Home!” she responded with a serious look on her face.

“Just like that.”
She ignored him and got out. He didn’t try to stop her but had his gaze on her.

“What?! Don’t look at me like that. I didn’t know it was her and I am tired. I am tired of being used by you and your sister. Count me out. I don’t want to continue playing this game. I am not a puppet that you can control. Never would I allow you to use me again,” she stormed out of the restaurant.

“You playing with fire Stevie,” he clenched his first.

Days passed, Jasmine hadn’t gone to see Bianca and James. They tried looking for her but couldn’t find her. On the other side James tried by all means to make amends with Adela but she wasn’t interested. He had to come out with a lie and told Adela that Jasmine was his ex girlfriend who couldn’t accept that it was over between them.

As he sat sipping his coffee after breakfast he glanced at her.

“I found the paper. It’s been 25 years now and yes it is the very James who is now a detective.”

“I heard you mention that he was a good boy. Could you tell me about him Sister Martha?” he placed the mug cup on the table.

“Are you going to write this in the article as well?”

“Yes, it should be added. It’s a procedure that I have to follow.”

“Well I am 80 years old now but I still remember my little Garikai.”
“Garikai?”

“Yes! His name was Garikai before he changed it to James. He was a good child and very quiet. Always told me that he wanted to be a Father,” she said smilingly and went on. “Very intelligent at school. What I didn’t understand was, he had no friends. He would come to church and sat reading his bible. He never played with the other kids. After few months little Garikai was adopted together with the naughty girl.”

“Naughty girl?” curiosity written all over his face.

“Yes, Bianca.”
“What?!”

“Bianca. She was trouble and very stubborn. Six months later they came back together after their step father was killed by robbers. I didn’t believe the story, it was the fourth time that Bianca had been brought back to the orphanage. My little Garikai was always scared and played with Bianca. It’s as if though she controlled him. Whenever I asked him what was wrong, he just stared at Bianca. He never left her sight. They became close after coming back from the Moyo house.”

“The surname of the couple that had adopted them?”

“Yes. Garikai ran away from the orphanage with Bianca. I never saw him again until last year when he came back to see me. I was happy that he had become a detective.”

He listened intently. Hours passed.
“Thank you so much, Sister Martha!”
“You are welcome!”
“So you said your name is?”
“Stevie. I am Garikai’s friend and would be writing an article about him.”
“Okay. God bless you my son.”
“Thank you Sister. Goodbye!”

He got in the car and drove off. His eyes focused on the road. He couldn’t stop smiling. In few minutes he parked his car outside the offices and walked in. He went to the receptionist.

He sat on his chair
“Come in!” he responded after a knock.
“Sir, there is someone who is here to see you.”
“Who is,” he paused. “You again! You can close the door Carol. The gentleman is already in.”

He got inside, sat on the chair comfortable, legs crossed.

“I didn’t offer you one.”
“I have already made myself comfortable. It’s hot. Can I have a glass of cold water?”
“What do you want?”
“I am here to report a matter.”
“Go outside. The police officer will help you,” he snapped.

“Don’t be rude Garikai,” he smiled.
James raised a brow and looked at him nervously.

“The name ring a bell to you. I wonder what the chief will say if he finds out that you got Bianca out of jail because
she is your sister.”
“You don’t know what you talking about!” he blinked slowly.

He stroked his chin, his eyes on him.
“Bianca killed her step father and you watched her do it. After that you got so scared of her that you…What word should I use, you were her puppet. You helped her to escape from prison. You are her accomplice and has been. The reason why you couldn’t kill her when she took my wife? Is because she is your sister.”
“Get out! I have nothing to say to you.”
“Chill Garikai. Should I give you a chill pill? You helping Bianca so that she can come back to me. She is controlling you. When she says jump and you be like, ‘ How high. I have it alll figure out. It’s just a matter of time, just a matter of time,” he rose from the chair. “I am just being a friend and understanding. And that guy who is after my wife. I am having him investigated. Just found out that his name is Garikai. Adiues,” he walked out of the office.

Anger, it usually develops in response to the unwanted action of another person who is perceived to be disrespectful, demeaning and threatening. An increased heart race, muscle tension, feeling hot followed by a dry mouth. He was angry at him. He quickly got out of his voice. He needed space and he needed it now.
