MY STEP MOTHER (5)

BY:Abdulwaheed Sofiullahi

When my stepmother was asked the whereabouts of the documents, she kept looking with confusion in her eyes.

The leader of the gang of assassins asked her with an esoteric voice where her husband was. She replied that he had left the house a week back but he didn't tell her where he was going. She had also been dialling his number but had not been reachable.

Their boss asked if at all my stepmother knew any of his firm friends they could meet. She gave them information about a friend.

They went to his friend's house to kidnap him to their place. They explained the situation of things to him and advised him to cooperate with them by giving them information about the whereabouts of my stepmother's husband.

He claimed not to know anything about his whereabouts as he had been trying to reach him but to no avail.

The assassins never believed him. They tortured him to some extent and  kidnapped his wife and children. They threatened to kill his family if he refused to tell the truth.

Having been threatened by this, he confessed that his friend had traveled to another state. They got the details of where he fled to and went searching for him. Finally, he was found and they returned him home.

They got him seated, asked about the documents and without much stress, he opened up.

My stepmother's husband confessed that he was the one who stole the document but he kept it in a bag in his office. So, one day, one of his workers called him when he wasn't around that he saw a document in his office which bears his (his staff) father's name. Therefore, had taken it from the office.

My stepmother and I in unison asked who the person was because the document belonged to my father.
