I call the shots
Chapter 13
When Chantelle got
home, the person who was following her stopped at the other side of her gate,
but she didn't notice it.
When she got inside her
house, she met her husband at the dinning table eating something.
"You prepared
rice?" She asked, feeling bad.
"Yeah, was hungry,
but don't worry, it's fine".
"Okay, but I still
feel bad. I'm sorry".
"Chantelle it's
fine. Yours is in the kitchen".
"Aww, thank you so
much", she said, pecking him on the cheek.
"I'll be down in a
sec". She said, climbing up to her room.
After taking a shower
and doing her business, she walked down to the kitchen and dished out her food.
She joined her husband
at the dinning table. He was done eating the rice and was now eating fruits.
"So how did it
go?" David asked.
"Great, I believe
she's innocent. She was traveling and she passed through the airport entrance
security without any hindrance, passed the check in booth without any hindrance
and just when she was about to board the plane, she was searched and they found
drugs in her bag".
"Wow, that doesn't
make any sense at all. It's really clear that she's being framed".
"Exactly, buy the
airport authorities, immigration and the police don't see it that way"
"Hmm, does she
suspect anyone?"
"Yeah, her boss.
She found out something very dirty about her, so she has a feeling that her
boss has something to do with it. I'm not 100% sure, but I'll look into
it".
"Okay, please be
careful".
"I will. And how
has your day been?"
"Not that much has
happened. The doctor called me and requested that I resume work on
Monday".
"So soon? Aren't
there other lab technicians there?"
"There are, but
you know I've been away for almost a month, so it makes sense if he wants me
back".
"Mmm, but people
spend more than that during their honey moon".😤
"Chantelle, I'll
always be home very early till you resume work, okay?"
"Hmm...okay"
"Now eat your
food".
She looked down on her
plate and realised that she hadn't touched her food.
She started eating and
stopped when she remembered the Reece thing.
She contemplated
telling him.
David stared and
observed her for a while.
"Chantelle spill.
I know you've got something on your mind".
"It's not really
necessary, just another client to deal with".
"Mmm, you sure?
Cos the look on your face tells something different".
"I met Reece at
the police station. He has been arrested for murder".
"Really?"
"Yhup"
"Who did he
kill?"
"His baby mama,
but it was an accident".
"You talked to
him?"
"Yeah", she
said, using her fork to hit her plate. "He asked for my help".😬
"So you're going
to be his lawyer?"
"No, I offered to
get one for him".
"Okay, that's
good. Please don't get involved in this. Just get him a lawyer and stay out of
it".
"I won't. And I
can take care of myself, you don't need to worrying about me".
"I can't help
it".
"But are you cool
with me helping him?"
"Yeah, of course.
You're just being nice and generous, and I Iike that".
"Okay".
Chantelle continued
with her food and when she was done, she also ate some fruits.

"Hello, Candice
can you do me a favour?" Chantelle asked.
"What favour?"
"Can you be a
lawyer to an old friend of mine?"
"Sure, what kind
of case?"
"Murder"😬
"Chantelle, you
know that I've never worked on a case like that".
"Let this be your
first one, please".
"Defence?"
"Yeah"😬😬
"Chantelle"😩😩
"Candice, please"
"Okay, I'll see
what I can do, but why aren't you doing it?"
"I have another
case to work on".
"Okay, forward the
details of the person and I'll meet up with her tomorrow".
"Him",
Chantelle said, correcting her.
"Mmm...alright,
bye".
And she hanged up.
"Will she do
it?" Her husband asked.
"Yeah".
"Alright,
goodnight, I'm feeling really sleepy".
"Okay, I'll just
research on some things and join you later".
"Alright".
▪******▪
"Any info on
her?"
"Nothing abnormal,
she's been to just the police station ever since she got home from their
trip".
"Okay, keep
following her and let me know if anything comes up".
"Okay"
"Bye"
