Melancholy...

Chapter 37

I stared at the wooden door as my mind processed everything. So he was a child trafficker? Oh my God.
I composed myself and knocked on the door.
"Come." He said.
I opened the door and walked to the table,my legs shaking.
"What took you so long huh?" He asked harshly as he threw a file at me.

I dodged it skillfully and placed the tea on the table. I picked up the file,arranged the contents in it and placed it on the side of the table.
"Get out." He said as he lit a cigarette.

*****************************
"Mia!" I screamed and woke up abruptly.
Oh shoot, I had had a nightmare again. It has been 4 good nights since I heard the conversation between Mr Danso and however it was.
For these four nights,I always had nightmares which involved Mia being kidnapped and mistreated.

I always called home after these dreams and they always told me that Mia was fine and safe. I even spoke to her and she seemed just fine. I had asked Sister Owusuwaa and Crystal to make sure that she didn't go out of their sight. Deep down, I felt like this was God's way of telling me something. Maybe he wanted me to save those kids?

Hmmm. Everything is so complicated. I sat there biting my nails for a moment. I needed someone to talk to and the only person I could think of was Christian. I took my phone and checked the time. It was 2:11am. I didn't want to call in case I disturbed his sleep,but at the same time I couldn't be certain that he was asleep,so I decided to send him an SMS telling him to give me a call if he was awake.

After I had sent the SMS,I placed the phone down and slept on the bed,staring at the ceiling as I thought. I knew that this was a very risky thing I wanted to do. I could die trying to save them. Even if I didn't die I could get seriously injured and if I got caught I would for sure lose my job. But for some reason there was this rush of adrenaline that was just pushing me to do this. The ring of my phone brought me out of my thoughts.

I checked the name and saw it was Christian. Smiling,I picked up and pressed the phone to my ear.
"Hello wizard. Why are you awake?" I said with a laugh
"I should be asking the same question Witch." He said and we started laughing.
After joking around for sometime,I got serious and told him why I called. He was quiet for a while then said, " Franklina. What you want to do is a very dangerous thing. This isn't a movie where everything seems easy..nah,this is a matter of life and death you know..."
"Christian I know! I know trust me but..I can't just sit there knowing that something like this is happening..like I said I always have these weird dreams and I don't know but I feel like I need to do something.."
"Okay then. If you say so. I'll help you."
"Thank you so much Christian. I lov- I mean thank you!" I said.

Oops,that was close. Y'all pretend like you heard nothing okay?

"Alright listen. We have to report this to the police but we can't do it without evidence. He has money and if we report without evidence he can simply pay the police and they'll forget about the whole thing. And with that he will know that you are the one who reported him.
He'll also be aware of the fact that you know about all this so he can do anything..even kill you. So what you have to do is to get as much evidence as possible okay? That way we can use it against him."

"Okay okay. Thank you. So I'll call you tomorrow in case of anything okay? Thank you again. Bye" I said.
"Bye Franklina. Take care." He replied and I hanged up.

"Dear God," I thought, " Please guard your girl."
