MITCHIE.
Still, on the case that led me to the prison, that’s why Mike Watson had called. He wanted me to take him to the clubhouse where I had seen Romeo. Mike had assured me that he would get to the root of the matter.
“But how?” I asked, not that I doubted him but I couldn’t imagine how he was going to go about it.
“I’ll need your cooperation with me, just fix a time we will go to Limon Club House together where you had met with the guy in the picture I showed you”.
It was Romeo that was in the picture actually but I don’t think Watson knows his name.
“You mean Romeo?”
“Don’t know his name, but I can recognize him facially”. He didn’t know his name and definitely, I guessed he knew nothing about the guy he wanted to approach like he was a criminal.
“Can you just meet me at my residence and we’ll then make it there together?”
“Why not, I will, and thanks for your caring heart to help with the investigation”.
“I think I will have to go now, got a lot to do, goodbye”.
I cut the conversation, dropped the phone on the table, and opened wide the novel with my hands at both edges. Lily and Rose were in the kitchen, preparing dinner.

AVA.
Now am satisfied and very happy with the situation of things, I can have my way anywhere in this state and even this country, but there is one thing, I got no back-ups but definitely, I’ll get a new set soonest, no worries. I soliloquized because I was alone in the big building, with no pests. After all, I freaking hate them, and I get irritated whenever I see them most especially dogs. I have no sidekick because I felt they’re not needed, I turned every request from any man because I got the sexual desire from Romeo and that’s enough for me.
I prepared dinner for myself fragrant and crisp pork chops, potatoes wallowing in butter with a sprinkle of black pepper over their shiny brown backs with a plate of pre oozing with berries and dusted sugar after which I decided to sleep but later I changed my mind to chat with friends. I
I went on to my Instagram page and found my latest picture was having new comments and likes, I smiled to myself as I scrolled down the pictures and the news feed when my attention was caught by a post headline “Finally Mitchie is back”.
I couldn’t believe my eyes, I thought I was dreaming, probably I needed to rest. But what I saw was real and there wasn’t anything like a lie behind the news. I called Romeo immediately telling him about what I saw not quite long, but Romeo didn’t believe it, so I told him to check the top news and we should meet at our regular base to discuss what we needed to do. I dressed up and pulled my way down to the clubhouse.

Mitchie and Inspector Watson got to the clubhouse and parked their vehicle just in the parking lot but in a way that they could get a clearer view of someone who enters and comes out of the clubhouse.
“What’s going on Watson?” Mitchie asked.
“Leave that to me” Watson replied, he brought out another copy of Romeo’s picture, his eyes were fixed on the entrance of the door with a stern look and red eyeballs. It was getting late and no one like Romeo had gone into or out of the clubhouse. Mitchie was not getting calm any longer, she wanted to leave as soon as possible when Romeo finally appeared. That night he had a rough look, his face look very much older because of his beards and his scary eyeballs. He flickered his coat before he entered the clubhouse. His appearance was scary and dangerous even than the last time I saw him.
“That’s the guy, Romeo”. Mitchie said pointing her fingers towards the clubhouse door as Romeo entered.
“Keep calm and quiet and don’t leave the car it’s dangerous for you out there”.
“But that guy is dangerous, do you want to go and meet him, are you sure you can do it alone or we should call the police right away?”
“Don’t worry I’ll handle it”. Watson tucked his pistol in his left trouser pocket, covering it with his long black top.
“Be careful Watson”. Mitchie said with a shiver in her voice as Watson alighted from the vehicle. Watson entered the clubhouse, and no one seem to notice him as he entered the clubhouse, but the ladies who were half-naked and were without men seduced Watson as he walked past them just to get in track with Romeo who walked very fast amidst them. He slapped off the hands of the ladies that caressed him on the chest until he finally got to the bar where he ordered wine, poured it into a tumbler as he sipped with his eyes fixed on Romeo who was with Ava with no meal on their table, they discussed earnestly, but then I sent a waiter to them just to ask if they needed anything or they had come to discuss on their evil acts. He came to me.
“And what was their response?”
“They didn’t need anything for now but when they needed, they’ll beckon on me.
“Okay, you can go”.
After some time, Ava stood up and left Romeo. Watson guessed she was already leaving. He stood up to join Romeo who was smoking a cigar.
“Hey, Romeo! What sup, can I join you?”
“No way, I don’t know you”.
“But I know you, you will care to know where I have known you?”
“If that won’t disturb my pleasure here”.
Watson sat down “I knew you through this”. He said pointing Romeo's attention to the picture he placed on the table, Romeo took a glance and took off his eyeballs.
“It’s quite obvious you’ve found the wrong person, this isn’t me and I think I have had enough….
