BEING A WIFE OF A PRISONER

Chapter 49

KAGISO

The light blinding my face wakes me up from my slumber. I shield my eyes from the sun and adjust the seat while picking up my phone with the other hand. The time reads 06:00am. I yawn and moving my head from side to side to ease the stiff neck. I can’t believe I spent a night in here but I’m desperate. Last night didn’t go well and I’m hoping I can try again today. My phone chimes causing me to shift my eyes away from the road. It’s the unknown number again.

Me: A pleasant surprise to be called by you so early in the morning, Mrs D.

Jen: She died years ago.

I chuckle.

Me: You know I thought I was dreaming but then again your call just confirmed that it was not a dream but reality.

Jen: Let’s stop with the causalities and get straight to business.

Me: Straight to the point, damn woman you’re on a mission.

Jen: I didn’t die 7 years and wake up 7 years later to be wasting people’s time.

I laugh.

Me: Where are you?

Jen: I just arrived in the city of Gold, where it all began.

Me: When?

Jen: This morning.

Me: Give me a few hours to get you a place to stay.

Jen: I hope it won’t be anywhere far. I need to be close to them.

I arch my brow.

Me: What are you suggesting?

Jen: A couple of blocks away from him.

Me: Rental or purchasing?

Jen: I don’t have money for neither of that.

Me: No, you don’t but he has.

She laughs on the end of the line.

Jen: Weren’t you suppose to be rooting for him? I expected to be hunted by him by now.

Me: I’m not a snitch.

She chuckles.

Jen: But you did snitch years ago.

I snicker.

Me: There’s a difference between the two.

Jen: How so?

Me: You wouldn’t understand.

Jen: Fine but either way I owe you my life. Thank you for saving me.

Me: It was nothing. You earned my respect and that’s what we do in our circle. We protect each other even it means protecting you from your spouse.

Jen: Thank you.

Me: It was nothing.

Jen: I need the lay out of his house. How many cameras do they have?

Me: Plenty except the bathrooms, main bedroom and the garage.

Jen: Which angle are they all facing?

Me: Let’s meet over breakfast and discuss this?

Jen: Nah, we don’t know who maybe watching.

Me: True. I’ll call the estate agent and ask for any rentals near him and we can meet over there.

Jen: Fine by me. But I’ll keep using the burner phone just in case. Don’t call me I will call you.

I throw my head back laughing.
