A DERANGED SCHEME

CHAPTER SEVEN

ARFAN'S POV

Trouble on trouble,FAREEDA'S credentials are missing!

"Yes, they're missing"
I said.

"What are you saying and how is this even possible?"
Said Abba from the other end of the phone.

"Wlh Abba I'm also as shocked as you are.
I said.

"Arfan I already told you  how I don't support this your  rubbish plan from the beginning but you formed a boned ear,on top of that now you're so careless enough to loose this so called weapon and... Damn.
How did you even loose it?
Said Abba.

I took a deep breath and began narrating the sad story

"I left it in the car yesterday.
You know everywhere car I used is immediately taken to the car wash before I get to use it again.

I didn't realize the envelope wasn't with me until today in the morning when I went to the garage,that was when everything clicked,and when I searched the car it wasn't there.
The car wash boss wasn't the one that washed my car yesterday,it was one of his new boys.

The boy doesn't know who I'm so he drove the car somewhere and that was how the paper got missing.

Long story short the car wash boss is in dark room and the boy that washed the car is no where to be found,I guess he left the town."
I said

"Dark what?
(He screemed)
Because of papers you guys want to kill an innocent soul.
Putting him in a black room won't help.
Said Abba

"Yh but how stupid is he to just throw an envelope he found in a car?
He should learn from his mistakes" I said.

"He wasn't the one that lost your papers.
You know what?
Why don't you just investigate and find it"
Said Abba

"Let him learn from his mistakes.
Well  were investing too,but do you think we can find it before Fareeda kills me?"
I said

"And are you gonna tell her?"
Abba said

"No obviously. But ..."

"But what Arfan? What?
It's all your fault.
I told you not to do this.
Why will you just capture a little girl and use her for this nonsense?"
Said Abba

"Okay let me die of one guilt,why are you scolding me?
Let my brain deal with what I did.
I already messed up now find me a solution"
I said.

"Just ask your boys to search all the car wash area and everywhere"
Said Abba

"We are already on this plan idiot "
I said

"Okay then, your bright brain should help you"
said Abba

"Pls..."
I said

"Ok, another plan.
Why don't you spread the news on radio stations and news channels.
Set a price to any person that finds the papers.
It will come in less than a week"
Said Abba

"What a very nice idea.
Brilliant"
I said.

"Then say thank you"
Said Abba

"Get out.
Bye"
I said

He laughed and I hung up the phone.

I'm so relieved now, thanks to Abba,he is always the solution to My problems

Abba is my best friend since childhood.
We did junior school, middle school and high school together then we got separated at University level.
I went to N.D.A to study History and he went to Bayero University Kano to study Engineering, now he's working with minting and printing in Abuja.
We're both successful and working in the same town.
Our friendship is so tight that our families are friends.
It was a year to their wedding with Safiyya (My little sister) then she passed away.
Since then he has was single.
So sad.
