MRS JOHNSON

Out To Catch

Daniel opened the door to Gloria's room and saw Victoria lying down next to her. He giggled and closed the door slowly, then went to their room.

He heard his phone ringing as he opened the door.

When he took it from the bed and flipped it over, it was a strange number.

He was reluctant to pick it. His thumb danced on the phone screen till it stopped ringing.

Slightly closing his eyes, he let out a deep breath, and about to drop the phone; it rang again.

He summoned the courage and swiped to the right.

He stayed quiet, waiting for the person to speak first, 'so he would know either to speak or hang up.'

"Hello, this is Lola from Bright Real Estate."

With a sigh of relief, "Yes, hello. Good morning."

"Good morning sir. I'm calling to inform you that the office space you requested has been reserved for you, but we have not heard from you in 48 hours. So am calling to ask if you are still interested in the space because we have others who have also shown interest.

"We forwarded an email to you, but since we did not hear from you, it is our costume to call before we allow others to check it."

"So what are you telling me?" He asked.

"What am saying is, sir, if you do not come in today, and make a commitment of at least 95℅ we will have no choice but to lease it to those who are ready for it."

"Okay, I will just forward the money into your company's account. Email me your details and I will do it right away."

"That will be nice sir, but am afraid you still have to come down because there are some agreements you still have to read through and sign before you can make your payment, sir."

"Fine, make an appointment with your boss, I will be there in an hour."

"Thank you very much, sir," she said and Daniel hung up.

Daniel went back to Gloria's room and Victoria was still sleeping. 'He didn't want to wake her.'

He got dressed told his mother where he was going and left.

His pulse was rising the whole time as he was driving, with his eyes equally glued to the side mirror, as it was to his front, watching if no one was tailing him.

"Oh my God!" he jacked up and accidentally hit the break at the sound of his phone ringing.

Breathing heavily as he glanced at the phone, 'Love.'

Letting out a relief breath, he answered, "Baby..."

"Where are you? Mama told me you went to check the office space?"

"Yes." and he explained everything to her.

"Be careful," she says, "Watch your back, don't eat anything nor drink anything. And come right back home."

He smiled softly, "Baby, am not a child. I can take care of myself. And yes I will do exactly as you said."

"Thank you," she replied.

"Babe, I will talk to you later, am entering into the parking space."

"Alright. I love you!"

"You too." He said and hung up.

He entered into the packing space, off his engine, and took a deep breath. "It going to be okay, Dan. Go in and out."

He was walking like he was running, every second he kept looking at his back like someone was after him.

As he entered the building, he saw Lola talking to someone.

When she saw him coming towards her, she said something to the person she was talking to and walked toward Daniel to meet him halfway.

"Mr. Daniel, thank you for coming in." she stretched her hand and he took it.

"It's okay."

"And I am so sorry for the inconvenience."

"It is not a problem. You are only doing your job."

"Come with me. You are in luck, the boss just walked in not quite long."

"Oh good. I hope this shouldn't take long; yes?"

"Absolutely," she said and opened the door to the chairman's office.

With an After your gesture, Daniel walked in.

"Excuse me, sir, Mr. Daniel Johnson is here," she said, turned back, and closed the door.

Daniel's gaze followed her as she closed the door, and back to the chairman, whose back was turned.

"Please have your seat," he said and Daniel unbuttoned his suit as he sat down.

"So tell me," the chairman added, "Danny boy..."

Daniel jacked up from the chair in a heartbeat when he heard, 'Danny boy.

Turning his back...

"Jeffrey!!!" Daniel said with his eyes widened in fear.

"You can run, but you can't hide, Danny. The minute you sign with us... You can't go anywhere."

Daniel took two steps backward in fear but his back hit something and stopped him.

He turned his back to see what stopped him, — two men were standing behind him and they immediately threw a black bag on his head.

As he struggled to free himself, one of the guys hit him hard in the head and he fainted.
