SHADOW OF THE PAST

19 Who's In The Factory?

---

When Dennis received order from Olanrewaju to end what he couldn't end year's back, he had been desperately searching for Tomisin.

Though, Olanrewaju had texted him the name of the restaurant where it would be easier for him to find Tomisin, but he mistook the name for a supermarket which has similar name with the restaurant.

He arrived the supermarket called FOODCO SUPERMARKET. There, he parked his car at the little space created for parking at the not too big supermarket and was waiting patiently behind the wheels for Tomisin.

Diana, whom Zara had sent to get beverages and toileteries at FOODCO SUPERMARKET stepped out of the supermarket with two full shopping bags.

She stood by the roadside and flag down a motorcycle to Zara's residence…

Dennis was so confused about the physical changes in Diana (whom he felt was Tomisin). Her physical appearance was so different from years back. She had a tinted, low hair cut, with piercings on her nose. She looked completely different from the elegant and classy Tomisin he used to know years back.

Without minding about the physical changes, he drove slowly after the motorcycle Diana had flagged down.

Diana stopped the motorcycle rider in front of Zara's apartment. She dropped, and paid him.

When she was about to lift up the shopping bags she had dropped on the tarred floor while paying the motorcycle rider, she saw a man standing before her. She remained bending as her eyes followed the figure from foot to head while the motorcycle rider drove off.

Dennis flashed a fake smile at her as she looked up to him, trying to identify the figure who was standing before her.

“Hello beautiful angel.” Dennis greeted shining his white sets of teeth at her. Diana stood erect and greeted him.  
“Erm, I'm here looking for a particular laundry man who stays around here.” he said inspecting the quiet area.

“I don't know of any laundry man who stays here. You can ask anyone else around.” she replied holding the shopping bags firmly and was about to go in when Dennis obstructed her by flashing her the rifle he had hid behind his jacket.

“Just do as I say…” he said in-between clenched teeth and Diana complied to his instructions by nodding her head like an agama lizard. She was practically frightened to death. He asked her to corporate with him and follow the lead to where his car was parked.

Olanrewaju had received a text message from Dennis that the job had been done successfully. He was extremely delighted as he drove down from his office to the location where he had told Dennis to bring Tomisin to. He wanted to be there this time around, he wanted to be sure that Tomisin is dead completely, so he could have peace of mind.

He arrived the abandoned factory at exactly 9.30 PM.

Olanrewaju had discovered this abandoned factory for a very long time, and the factory had been where he usually do his shady businesses. He also sells hard drugs he produces secretly from his father's laboratory there. Since Femi had travelled abroad, he had been secretly producing hard drugs in the laboratory by employing experts in the field. Reasons why he sent Femi down to the branch office when he arrived so he won't be caught.

He met Dennis who had been waiting for him with Diana, who wass tied to a chair with a very strong thick rope, he also sealed her lips with a masking tape, preventing her from raising an alarm.
