Episode 57

CLAIRE

She had just been debriefed, made her statement and asked if there was anybody she could call to take her home. She had dialed Lizzy but her line was switched off. She’d decided to wait for a moment to see Owel before leaving.

Owel had handed them over to the backup that arrived at the hotel and headed out with his subordinate to Gerald’s house. As the team drove them out, she kept looking through the glass to know if she could see him; Davis and yes she saw him. Their eyes had communicated volumes as the car moved by.

He’d given her a smile which melted the remaining part of her heart.

She was still waiting when Owel led Gerald in cuffs. Gerald avoided her gaze as she stared at him, tears coating her eyes. Everything seemed to stand still as he walked past her into another holding away from where Bob was.

“Have you been debriefed?” Owel asked coming out from the holding.

“Yes.” She nodded.

He called a young agent and told him to drive her home as he promised to handle everything and keep in touch with her every step of the way till they were charged to court.

She walked into her compound and met her gate man who looked shocked. The officer had dropped her in front of her gate and waited till she got inside before driving off.

“Welcome ma.” He greeted
“Thank you Musa.” She replied and walked weakly towards the door. As she pushed the door open, that fragrance wafted through her respiratory system. She stiffened at the door before walking in slowly into the sitting room and behold him standing at the middle of the room, looking towards her direction.

She stood still for a moment before taking quick stride towards him; his opened arms. He enveloped her in a bear hug as she finally let out all the bottled up tears which had been waiting to be released.

When she finally got herself under control, she made to say something but his lips pushed the words back to her throat as they entangled themselves in a bolt of emotional kissing.

They kissed for some good minutes before she said those words which she’d always dreaded saying to any man.

“Take me, make love to me.” She said with an emotional pitched voice before collapsing in his hands.

Without hesitation, he carried her and headed up to her room.

THE END…
