CHAPTER 8                                                                                                                                                                                   
BACK HOME
As I was trying to figure out the reason why jimmy kept this a secret from me his close friend, Troy snapped me out of my thoughts and said what you were thinking about all this while. I then told him my normal tragedy story and asked for his help. He then asked in what way I can help you Cole. It is a very easy task you can just teach me how to combat I said grinning my teeth. Alright that is not a problem he replied, one more thing I added you will have to follow me back to Australia for sometimes he then replied no problem bro, and you can always count on me.
So when are we going troy asked hmm tomorrow morning I think, I called my aunt and told her I was going to sleep over at Troy’s home. That she shouldn’t worry about me, I also told her to help me with my stuffs and also say thank you to monster Steve that I valued all the time we spent together. Soon after my phone rung and I checked to see who was calling, ohh dani
PHONE CONVERSATION                                                                                                                                                                               
Hi Cole, how are you doing?
I am doing well
So how is your stay in Germany?
It is really good I am coming home today
Alright that’s nice, when you arrive give me a call
Okay, no problem, sleep tight
                              Immediately I finished the phone call, troy asked who the woman I was speaking to was. Then I replied that she was just my friend at Australia and she is also in our team so…., or more than just a friend troy teased. Nope not at all I denied I have a secret crush on her that is all, goodnight bro my eyes can’t hold much longer.

Around 11 the house was as silent as a graveyard, the following morning as I stood up from my bed I didn’t see troy in his room, so I began to look around and finally saw him in a room labeled GYM doing some workout. Don’t tell me you do this every morning he then replied with sweat on his body this is the only way to build your body and get stronger every day.  Try carrying a dumbbell, I walked confidently as if it was nothing to me, this is just a piece of cake. I gripped the dumbbell and tried raising it up, but I just couldn’t. Troy busted into laughter and said you will get used to it as time goes on. We left the room, as troy went to have his bathe, I went to the living room to watch movie.

When I put on the television, I started watching and Indian movie named BAGGI., when troy came out of the bathroom I called his attention hey troy take a look at this , u guys look alike . He smiled and said he love the guy so he worked to be like him. When I was done taking my bath, we dressed up and I assisted him in packing his luggage outside. Then I said aunt meet my best friend troy and troy meet my best friend tiffany, oh nice meeting you they said almost together exchanging handshakes. We took Troy’s luggage to the car and drove off to the airport. I gave my aunt a tight hug and appreciated her for all she did for me and also told her to send my greetings to her son since he would be back today. No problem I will she replied waving at us.

Our journey took six straight hours back to Australia since we quickly got our flight. Now I am back home, home sweet home. the air around here seems nice troy said sure  I replied but this country is really freaky and dangerous because of the red ribbon and crime rate right you got it all troy. I picked my car at the airport and packed our luggage into my car and drove home, so we went to sleep after a whole day journey. Early next morning I did my normal routine and gave Troy some money to purchase our gymnastic equipment then I drove as fast as I could in order not to be late for work since I took five days off work. I went straight up to meet my boss.
Moring boss
So Cole how was your journey
It was okay
Nice that is good to hear, there is something I will like to tell you
Okay go on sir, wrap up the murder case you are solving, because the NFS (national forensic service) and also the investigation department complained about lack of evidence.
What the fuck are you saying sir there are blood samples and DNA with the NFS and also the registered plate number of the murderer. I have got all these in my office,
Then go ahead and get it
I ran as fast as I could and went to the NFS center for the owner of the blood samples but they told me that it was invalid and contaminated that they couldn’t march it with anybody’s own, I took a look myself in order to be sure they were not deceiving me but I couldn’t get something right I walked out of the place looking really confused and then I picked my phone to also call the ministry of transport for the owner of the plate number as if I knew he would they would say the same thing sir there is no one using the car with that plate number maybe you mistook it for another they said. The government has covered up for this criminal again and even my boss and everybody in the investigation department, so they traded citizen’s life just for money.

Out of anger I drove out of the police station and headed home I called Daniella that I was around then she said she was going to come and visit me after she was done at her workplace, I waited for troy to come back from the mall while resting on the sofa I fell asleep. When I woke up I saw troy and Daniella having a chat with each other then I asked what was going on then Daniella spoke up and said you have been asleep for the past two hours not quite long after I came, I met troy oh okay I replied. Troy showed us to the gym , so troy you did this all by yourself my bad I couldn’t give a helping hand, so when will our training start I added tomorrow morning , maybe I would also join in the training Lynda said jokingly all of us busted into laughter as we walked to the living room

Who wants to have a taste of my kimichi and sushi dani asked, me, I and troy said in chorus . I learnt how to cook this during my stay in Korea trust me it tastes really good. While we were in the living room she was in the kitchen cooking my so called food, some hours later I said food is ready. We all went to the dining to have our dinner. Great job dani this really tastes good I commented. We saw Daniella off and retired to bed.
