Origins of the Fire

07. Abiba Eh

"I have a file from the university she was in," TT said to Chief.

Both of them came super early to the station to go over some records on Abiba.

"Ok," Chief sighed while lying on the floor of his office. "Read it."

"So (clean throat) Abiba Yensu was a student at the University of Malam, she took sociology and did her internship at B.O.S."

"Does it say she took it before or after she graduated?"

"Ummm (looks through) umm umm no. No it doesn't. This is weird."

"What's weird?" Chief sighed while moving into a sitting position.

"Why didn't DG give you any of this information earlier, or or why isn't anybody looking into this school? If this girl was actually working with this O guy and....and died? DG is really undermining this case."

Chief shook his head in agreement. Suddenly a bulb lit in his head.

"What's her last name again?" Chief asked while getting on his feet and grabbing his coat.

"Yensu."

"Good, and I'm sure there's an address here somewhere."

Chief quickly looks through the files they got from headquarters until he found the right one.

"Chief, chief where are you going?" TT asked before chief....

SCREECH

"HEY LISTEN HERE!" Chief shouted.

By that time most of the other officers had arrived. They all turned their attention to him.

"I'M GOING OUT TODAY! WITHIN THAT TIME, TT IS IN CHARGE, YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION OR WANT TO TAKE ANY DECISION? YOU TELL HIM, HE TELLS ME, YOU GET THE GREEN LIGHT."

Chief adjusted his cast and headed to the exit, but stopped.

"AND ONE LAST THING, NOONE OF YOU SHOULD INTERROGATE THE BOYS.... NONE EXCEPT TT. Thank you."

Within the awkward silence, chief left, and TT quickly went after him.

"HEY, HEY CHIEF!" TT shouted while jogging towards him.

Chief was already at his car.

"Chief what was all that?" TT asked.

"I'm going to get more answers, but in the meantime I want you to take charge and interrogate the boys, ok?"

"I don't think I'm ready (Chief gets into the car), Chief? Chief I'm not..."

Chief starts the engine.

"T?" Chief said. "No one really is. Plus, the officers are amateurs, right?"

"Yeah."

TT giggled and slowly took a deep breath.

"I'll try my best chief," TT said.

"I'm sure you will."

VROOOM

And just like that, TT was interim chief. Is he ready? No. Would he actually try his best? Absolutely.

BANG BANG!

Derick woke up to see an elderly officer in front of the cell.

"Get up, its time to talk," the officer said.

"What? Where's chief?"

"Get. Up."

"Piss. Off."

"YOU THINK I'M PLAYING ERH?"
