The day had finally come.although I was quite happy and sad.maybe it cause I'd be missing my family and happy because I just couldn't wait to be called to bar.though Andrew drove mum sat infront beside him and I was behind with little baby Jack in my arms, he looked so happy to see me go.sometimes I saw Rach in Jack, he was just so happy today, his never really played and laughed this much with me is it because I was leaving him, everyone had a sad look on the face apart from Jack who was too happy .
"Katherine"
"Yes mum"
"Remember to call before you get into the plane and the moment you step out of the plane okay?"
"Hahaha okay mum"
"Please stay safe and pray hard okay"
"Yes mum,I wil"her phone rings and she picks it up,
"Yes, were on our way.she's here."replied mum.
"Here, your dad wants to speak with you."I collect the phone from mum and put it on my ear.
"Helo dad,"
"How are you, my barrister?"
"Am great dad"
"Am sorry I couldn't drive you to the airport, I had an important appointment to attend to, but don't worry I've asked my mrs leah to transfer some money to you"
Woaw, my phone beeps,yes.it's actually an alert.
"Thanks dad,I've recieved it.I promise I'll not disappoint you and mom, never."
"I trust you my daughter,I know you won't.take care alright and don't fail to call me if you need anything,I mean anything at all."
"Thank you dad, God bless you."
"Bye"he caughts the call.and I hand over the phone to mum.
"Were here,"mum muttered.Andrew drove so fast, can't believe we were already at the Margaret Ekpo international airport ,I opened the door and came down from the car with baby Jack,I decided to open the alert message and see how much dad sent to me.
"Oh my God"
"Katherine what is it?"asked mum
"Nothing, it's just that dad transferred 2m into my account."
"Hahaha, pls what ever you need don't fail to call us okay, no matter it is, just call us okay?"
"Yes mum"I hugged my mum tight and suddenly tear drops ran down my chicks,I wiped them off immediately.
"I'll miss you so much"
"I'll miss you too mum"we hugged again.I held baby Jack so tight.seemed like his happiness increased when we arrived at the airport.he was so happy,infact he was laughing.
"Mum I have a feeling Jack's not going to miss me."my mum laughed out loud and refused to respond.
After signing up and scanning my luggages it was time to be scanned and that means I'd have to move to the departure hall,our plane had arrived. it's virtually good bye time.
What's Funny is that Andrew had not even uttered a word to me.that's odd. I walked towards mum and Andrew in other to hand little baby Jack over to mum.but baby Jack refused to let go he held on to my cloth quite tight like he didn't want me to go, I felt loved, and I hugged him tight.soon he began to cry and mum snatched him ftom my hands.
"Really?Andrew really?"I could see the smile on his face.
"Come here you,"and we embraced,
"Goodluck my lord,I'll call you everyday" whispered Andrew.
"Yeah,I'll miss you too"then we refrianed from the embrace, I hugged mum one more time and held baby Jack once again before handing him over to mum,then the attention of the passengers who were about to travel to Abuja was called and I had to live.
"Goodbye home".I whispered within me

Hey folks, did I forget to mention I wasn't so good at giving up not especially when I had a little faith that I just might be right.I was at the police department.
"It's just a feeling mr Jake, there are no evidence."said the detective who was sitting infront of me.
"Detective I just need you to sniff around, you may just find something, interesting about this case."
"No I won't, this case is dead.it died a year ago.why do you want to re open it?"
"Cause I think she just might still be alive, please do something."
"Look son, you can't come in here and tell me how to run my job.the girl is dead so forget her, their so many other girls out there, make your pick"
"Okay, but if you think she's dead, what about her body? What about her body? Why didn't your men find it if only it was still in it's form"
"What do you mean by still in it's form"
Detective, I don't know for sure but something tells me the criminals in possession of the body transformed her to someone else through plastic surgery. so she would never be recognized by anyone"
"Son, your talking nonesense I was told that her blood was found by the river bank and it was taken for a test wgivh proved the blood belonged to her.before then the villagers spotted her corpse, not just her body her corpse, and from what they said she bled from her head.if that ain't death I don't know what that is"
"Detective I still think you should visit doctor Joseph and his wife, there's more to this case than we know, please detective please do something."
"Their no evidences against them, those people are nice, their very wonderful ,they would never do such a thing."
"This days you never can tell who's who.you just might be too blind to see what picture am trying to paints but I probably promise to make you see by force."I stood up from the chair and left the office.
Though I never studied law at school.I majored in petrochemical engineering,but didn't make me ignore the smart card Joseph and his wife were playing.it was almost time for my flight, so I quickly rushed to the airport so I wouldn't miss it.This was plan D, and I know this last plan won't fail.
Doctor kylie may not be sound right now but she was still alive.every little information she would give to me would bring me one step closer to solving this mystery.before moving to the departure hall I called my mum to ask her few questions.
"Hello mum"
"Hi son.where have you been?"
"I've been around mum,and am fine so please don't worry about me."
"I hope your fine, you know your my only child and For two days now your lines have not been going through"
"Yeah, am okay.my line is okay now.I want to ask you something about your friend aunty Nelly?"
"Oh wait a second, let me guess.you want to court her daughter, if that's it you can go ahead"
"Hahaha, no mum.That's not it."
"Then what is it son?"
"How long have you known aunty Nelly?"
"Woaw, it's been quite a while I knew her right from when we were kids .we lived in the same neighbourhood untill she got married ans flew to the state,so it's quite a while son."
"Okay. So when did she conceive and produce kim"
"Well, why the question son.this is too much for a day."
"Mum please speak"
"Okay, since you said please,I'll tell you.Nelly's been barren since she got married, she's never gotten pregnant before nor conceived.kim was adopted"
"Okay, what year was she adopted?"
"I think it was towards the end of last year "
"Okay, from what orphanage?"
"Yeah, I never really got that part"
"Because she wasn't adopted"
"What? Jake what do you mean"
"Sorry, forget it mum.I was thinking out loud.call you later bye."I ended the call so I could catch up with the plane that was about flying to canada without me.
