Melancholy...

Chapter 42

RECAP OF THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER:
"What are you doing here?" I heard a voice ask and I stopped in my tracks. The voice obviously belonged to Jason and I cooked up a quick lie in my head.
"Oh I just went to get some water.." I said
"..you came from the office though.." he said,leaning against the wall.
"Oh no..it must have been your eyes" I said,as I resumed walking to my room.

I refused to look back at him and walked straight to the room. I closed the door behind me and sighed.

That was so fricking close!

I sat in the bed and sighed. My heart was beating! With shaking hands,I took the folded paper out of my pocket and sent the addresses to Daniella. She texted back immediately,congratulating me and telling me that she would check out each of the addresses tomorrow and let me know which of the was highly possible to have the children in it.

I took my bed and lay on my bed thinking. What was going to happen after all this? After we saved the children what next? I would just come back here and live the terrible life I was living for 8 more months. For some reason I had joy in my heart knowing that these children were going to be saved. I had no idea as to how old they were but a just had a feeling that I was in the right path.

I'm not going to lie,there had been days where I thought about quitting. But there was always this voice that encouraged me to go on with what I was doing. Whenever I thought of quitting I felt this kind of unexplainable pain in me..sometimes I would be so distracted about it that I would not be able to think straight.

I saw this as a sign from God. I felt like he was speaking to that I was on the right path. After all,who did I have to fear if I knew that God was with me? And even if I died saving these children,I knew I would rest in perfect peace,for though my life wasn't what I had wanted it to be,I had lived a life of legacy.

These were the thoughts that paraded in my head as I drifted off to the land of darkness,quietness and peace.

****************
It has been days since I sent the addresses to Daniella. Two days ago,she had texted me telling me that she found the one that had the children in it. According to her,she had done some research and stalked the houses for sometime before finding it. She even said that she saw one of the children walking across the house carrying a large sack of some items.

She had sent me pictures of the house and I must say Mr Danso is one smart dude. It looked like a normal house in which a family lived and it was located in a normal community. She however told me that she had lured one of the neighbours with some money and she told her that she(the neighbour) sometimes heard screaming and telling of abusive words coming from the house. This gave her the assurance that it was the house which had the children in.

My final mission was to get the spare key to the back of the house. She said that she suspected that Mr Danso had a spare key which he used and I was to get that key. Apparently,from the pictures she had taken,she had done some research on the doors of the house and had sent me images of what the key was likely to look like. For the past two days I had been searching for this key in his stuff but to no avail. I must say that this was the most difficult task as I could easily get caught and it frustrated me so much that my hard work yielded no results.

After I had told this to Daniella,she suggested that I look in Mr Danso's wallet. She said that for the years that she had stayed in the house,he always had a key in his wallet and that might be the spare key. This was impossible and she knew it. How could I possibly get hold of his wallet?

It was Friday evening and I was sitting in my room as all these things went through my head. The last few nights have been sleepless ones since I had this feeling that all our hard work would come to waste if we didn't quicken up. Christian and Daniella had tried their best to suggest ways I could get the wallet but all of them were too dangerous and would cause unwanted suspicion.

I heard the front door open and close and out of curiosity I walked out of my room to go and see who it was. I looked down from upstairs and saw a drunk Mr Danso staggering to the hall.
"Franklina. You idiot come down here!" He yelled. I ran to my room quickly,changed into something longer with pockets and placed the sleeping pills together with a fake key in it. The fake key was just there so he wouldn't suspect that the key had been taken or anything of that kind. Who knows,this could be my chance to get the wallet.

I know you are thinking "Ah so you have the pills and you didn't give it to him earlier?" Smart ass, if I did he would go upstairs to sleep and Mrs Danso would be there too,I can I get his wallet then huh?
