Jamaica

Chapter 43

Abisola felt like her world was about to fall apart. That her peaceful life was about to be disrupted again. A police officer coming up to her meant that there was trouble ahead for her. After breaking up with Femi, she thought that she had finally found the peace that she was looking for.

"Officer, may I know what this is about?" Abisola seemed to have regained herself after she opened her eyes.

"Madame, someone is requesting your attention, and we have been ordered to take you to see them." Abisola blinked, wondering who had requested a meeting with her.

"Sorry, officer but..ehm, may I know who that person is?"

"Madame our job is to take you to meet the person, that's all." Abisola was quite puzzled by the officer's response and wondered if it was Femi that had wanted to see her.

She knew right away that it couldn't be him. Femi whenever he came, would hang around the gate, waiting for her to come out. Once he saw her car appear outside the gate, he would walk up to the car and get in. Abisola had a hard time deciding on what to do. She didn't know where the police officer was taking her, and who he was taking her to see.

"Like I said madame, just leave your car inside the compound where it will be safe. We will bring you back as soon as you finish." Abisola didn't like the idea of following the officers. But she parked her car and got into the police car. The car headed towards a black SUV, parked in the distance. When the police car stopped Abisola was told to come down by the officer who had approached her at the gate.

"Madame come down and follow me." Abisola looked at the SUV in front of her and became nervous.

"Aha, officer what is going on?" She demanded, fearing that this could be a trap.

" The person requesting to see you is in that car," he said. The officer opened the back door for Abisola to come down. She reluctantly came down and followed him. When they got to the SUV, the officer knocked on the back door and waited. When the door opened he told the man sitting in the back seat that he had come along with Abisola. The man nodded his head.

" Very well. Just hang around, while I talk to her so that you can take her back."

"Yes, sir." Said the officer. " Oya madame, inside." Abisola quietly got into the back seat of the SUV. The police officer closed the back door while the man sitting in the back seat told the driver to move. As the car slowly moved, Abisola kept close to the back door as she possibly could. She  felt very uneasy sitting in the back seat with a complete stranger.

"Do you know who I am?" The man said, as he gazed at her.

Abisola turned and looked at the man's face. It was clean shaven  with trimmed side beards. He was quite young and Abisola thought he could be around her age. He didn't impress her so much in looks, but he had a strange way of looking at her that made her gulp from time to time.

"No, sir. In fact, I don't even know why I am here." Abisola's heart was pounding fast as the SUV moved. She kept looking outside giving the man the impression that she was afraid. The man lightly touched her making her jolt and open her eyes wide.

" Don't be afraid, I just want to ask you a few questions and then take you back."
"Okay, sir." Abisola sighed, and finally relaxed. But she kept wondering what type of questions he wanted to ask her. 

Soon, the SUV pulled up in front of a supermarket and the man told the driver to buy some drinks. The driver came down and went into the supermarket and bought some bottles of water for them.

"Driver give us some minutes to talk."
"Okay, sir." The driver walked away from the car leaving Abisola alone with the man. The man extended his hand to give Abisola a bottle of water.
