Rainbow
The past few weeks have been amazing with Sanele popping in every now and than and helping out a great deal with my assignments as if he has seen or done this before. Today i was going to his place for the first time and we were to spend the weekend together. So here i am packing the last bits of my weekend away when Zandile walks in.
Zandile: hey Diva
Me: oh an diva now?
Zandile: girl have you looked at yourself lately.., you are glowing if i didnt know better ill say you getting some Dick but since i know better ...
Me: Zandile!!! She laughed her head off and smiled looking at me.
Zandile: you see i told you ill know when you have had the big D... now tell me about the tall dark guy who has been coming here when we not here? I looked at her in confusion because not once has she or Pumla saw him.
Me: how do you know?
Zandile: aybo awazi ukuthi abantu bayakhuluma la ngaphandle( aybo you dont know that people talk) just then there was a knock on the door and she jumped to open it and there stood Thabo. Tall wearing his usual black colour.
Thabo: Madam. I tried so much to stopped him from calling me that but he never listens. Zandile laughed out loud and looked at the serious Thabo.
Zandile: from mamu mfundisi to diva now you are madam. She continued laughing. I grabbed my mini bag and she looked at me in confusion and i hugged her and whispered: " ill be texting you every morning and every night just so you know am good and ill send you my location" she laughed at me but nodded seriously than hugged me again.
Zandile: i got you babes. I waved as i handed Thabo my bag and we walked in silence to the car.
Thabo: Mr x wont do anything to you, trust me. I guess he heard my whispering and i nodded
Me: i know, just my first time spending a weekend at a guy's place. I didn't even know what to pack. He laughed and looked at me via the window.
Thabo: if its makes you feel better Mr X is panicking too, you finally gave him an excuse to use his kitchen. I smiled and looked out as we left the lights of Johannesburg going to four ways sunning-hill. We got to the most beautiful house that was like it was out of a picture. Nicely nestled into the beautiful landscapes and flowers. He parked by the two doors and just then the opened with Sanele wearing a black top with white flannel pants and no shoes. He looked relaxed and breath taking. I walked over to him after Thabo helped me down and he kissed my forehead.
Sanele: you came
Me: yeah. He smiled and gave me a side hug as we got in the house and it was breath taking. The lounge was white and black... couches were black, floor rug black onto white floors and the coffee table glass with grey walls and wall pictures that were both red, orange and yellow making the room brighter. He took me on a mini tour of his neat spacious house and when done we went to the lounge where he has set the table amazingly and helped me sit as i enjoyed the most simple yet amazing food ever.
Me: This was nice
Sanele: glad you enjoyed. I looked at him as he looked relaxed and calm.being in his place showed me a side iv never seen on him before.
Me: you know, you calmer here
Sanele: really?
Me: yeah. I like it .
Sanele: that the first time you have used that word around me.
Me: i have not....
Inspector Xaba
I read the report again investigator Zama gave me and it made sense. He has shares in over 20 companies. He has restaurants and he owns 4 clubs and most of the taxies in Johannesburg are his. But why be the butcher when he has all this going on for him? I looked at the picture of Sanele Simphiwe Mkhize. The man that has done more charity work than our government. He has never kept a girl by his side for more than a week. Everything about him scream narcissists. He plays safe and rumoured to always travel with one car full of armour for protection that can save a president. He is the one we have been looking for. I jumped out of the chair rain to my boss and showed him the file and explained everything to him.
Station commander: before we call the hawks check everything again now with an eye of a criminal then when you sure we have found him you call the hawks headquarters to help us get him because trust me when you accuse a billionaire of something you better do it right. I nodded and ran to my office called Zama who came running to show me something else she found and she was grinning.
Me: what?
Zama: its been 7 weeks and 3 days that he has been in contact with one girl.
Me: what? That a new deal girls never last a week with him.
Zama: yes. Her name is Rainbow Star. I laughed. What kind of a name is that.
Me: this is no time to play jokes with me.
Zama: i laughed too but here she is. She showed me a picture of Rainbow Star taking a plastic bag from One of Sanele guys
Zama: this was weeks ago and he has been going there every two weeks and he. Has seen her 6 times already. She showed me more pictures. Yes they from a distance but you can see the smile on the tall slim beautiful girl.
Zama: she is a medicine student at wits. Doing her first year. She not from here. The last address is if kruger drop catholic church organisation.
Me: Wait ... I ran to my drawer where i keep unsolved cases and I regularly update things in them that happened over the years and there i found the case file of the 16 year old girl who was found beaten almost to death. Its goes in detail on how no witness where there to see what happened
, she wasn't raped but the case was never solved. I read more how she picked an unusual name Rainbow Star. Zama and I looked at each other.
Me: ill call the Marshal and get more information.
Zama: Good, ill see if we can visit the home just to know more about her.
Me: we will meet her in an hour with a plan.....
