OTHER HALF.

At Barona's house.

Thabo looked at the twins seated on one couch in disbelief.he felt like he was dreaming.it was like seeing a copy of Tshegofatso.

Meanwhile Outside,Barona answered his ringing phone.

Barona:Ntwanaka.
Tiger:They are gone.
Barona:huh?.
Tiger:I just came back from the club and I found my wife and both my children on the pool of blood.they have been confirmed dead by the paramedic now(voice shook)The only thing that mattered in my life is now gone.
Barona:(in disbelief)I'm sorry my man,please be strong.i will come by and see you.
Tiger:(Crying)Maybe this is my karma for all the bad things I did in the past..
Barona:Stop talking like that.you will end up saying things to wrong people, I'm sorry for your loss my man.

They talked for a while and he hung up before turning his attention to Jamani who was having a smoke.

Barona:That is one of my guys.i think there was a robbery in his wife.they killed his family.
Jamani:Eix.
Barona:Yeah I have to check him out.
Jamani:Lets go together.i also want to cleare my mind.
Barona:Sure sure.

He said then walked back inside the house.he looked at Onthatile then signaled her to come.

Barona:Somethings happened at tigers house.i don't know if it was a robbery or what but they killed his family.
Onthatile:(Shocked)No!
Barona:Yes I have to check him,he is not Okay.he might do something bad to himself.
Onthatile:Okay.pass my condolences to him and his family.
Barona:(kissed her cheek)I will do so.will you be Okay with the girls?.
Onthatile:Yes.just go to your friend.
Barona:Okay.

He kissed her cheek again then walked out.Jamani walked along.he looked at Khangelwa who had fallen asleep in the car.he shook her waking her up.she opened her eyes then looked at him.

Jamani:I'm going with Barona somewhere.i will be back soon.
Khangelwa:I'm going home.
Jamani:Leaving Rele behind?.
Khangelwa:She is with her Family.you will request because I'm taking the car.

Jamani looked at her calmly.he couldn't help but feel like slapping the stupidity put of her.he sighed then stepped back.

Jamani:Okay.

He said then got in Barona's car and Barona drove away.

Tiger Looked as the paramedic car drove away.one police officer walked over to him.

Officer:Tiger right.
Tiger:Yes.
Officer:So tiger tell me,when was the last time you spoke to your wife or any of your children.
Tiger:In the morning before I went to work.
Officer:You never came back here maybe on the afternoon?.
Tiger:No I didn't.
Officer:Which means you spent the whole day at your work place?
Tiger:Yes.
Officer:Is there anyone who can confirm that?
Tiger:Yes,my staff members.
Officer:Did your wife have any enemies?.
Tiger:Not that I know of.
Officer:Did she get involved in a fight on the past week or month.
Tiger:No.
Officer:Okay.i have to take you with to the station so i can question you properly.
Tiger:Am I a suspect.
Officer:You are not.im just doing my job.

Sticks Took a picture of the gun and knife he had used.He saved the picture then saved Barona's number which he had on a piece of paper.

"Your wife's finger prints are all over these murder weapons."he sent the text to Barona attached to the picture.

He sighed waiting for a reply.he knew if Barona doesn't give him that money then his life would be over.he would make sure that the little friendships he has with tiger ends.who would want to be friends with a man of a women who killed his family.he smiled thoughtfully.How could he be so clever.
