THE LIFE BEFORE HER EYES.

CHAPTER 5

THE CALL

The 9:00 oclock telephone call interrupted my morning shower. I walked over to pick the phone which was ringing nonstop.
Hello!
Hello Isabella, it's me mr Tom Can you do me a favour?. I'd be delighted if you can drop by at the office today.
Yeah I'll be definitely be there before 10:00, i replied hanging up.
Walking over to the dressing table i was confused on what to wear, not that i was going on a date i was going to the police station. Can my day be any better?.

I got my blue chiffon skirt and a cream shirt out of my wardrobe and quickly examined it at the mirror. Not bad girl, i thought within my self.
I applied a light makeup on my face, had my hair packed in bun and dashed downstairs where i met David waiting.
Are you ready?
Yes i am, i replied picking my hat up and headed out immediately.

We set out to the office and within some hours we were at the station.
Hey David, called out inspector Tony walking over to hug David and ushering us in.
How are you son?
Very fine sir, how is your goodluck charm coming along?, asked David with a stern look on his face.
Well catching the bad guys is a lot to handle, first you've got to execute the plan, follow them up and catch them redhanded.
Wow it's amazing and also risky but my dad is totally dedicated to this job of his. For me i cant take up this responsibility.
Remember Joe, he died while trying to be the hero, well come in or we'll miss the elevator.
Forgive my manners Bella, am sure you've heared a lot about me am actually retired but am not tired, he said teasingling.
It's nothing sir, i can see that you are preoccupied by work, no time to sleep or eat. I replied shaking his hand.
So we are almost at the interrogating department but before that I'll be heading to the cafeteria to get some coffee. Do you mind joining me before you leave?
We'll definitely do that, replied David leading me to his dad office.

Getting in to Mr Tom's office, we were ushered in by the receptionist and given a seat.
The office was a little bit big and neatly arranged, books seemed to be at their appropriate place.
Awards ranging from one rank to the other were beautifully placed on the shelf. Cctv cameras were everywhere. On his enormous table stood a photograph of his late wife. She was smiling beautifully. on her neck were pearls that looks like precious stone evenly crafted with artistic hands. Mr wells was such a strong, brave and bold person I've ever seen.

Sorry guys, he apologized handing me a file.
Do you know that man?.
Yes i do, i replied shaking my head vigorously.
He's Octavio , he said bringing his head forward as if he wanted to eat me up. Hes being wanted for several criminal offences.
Yes, i replied paying more attention to him.
And here's his accomplice Samantha Mears.
Yes i know her, i replied looking at her file.
She's know to be the suspect selecting the girls for Octavio. She was once a worker here, but got fired due to her involvement in the death of my wife, he said with disgust in his voice hitting the table hard. Isabella i have faith in you that we can find them if only you'll help us with some details. Just know everything is under control here trust me, he reassured me patting my back.
