NO no I want to believe that this is not happening.
How is it possible?
How can one person outsmart three hefty gunmen?
Common one person, Now that the senator's son has escaped, what will be my fate?
He was fuming, his hands were fisted as he walked to and fro the room in agitation, gnashing his teeth and running his hands through his gold senator Wear. “I must do something, something has to be done because I am not going down” As if on impulse, he sank into one of the actiu cron executive chairs in his office positioned at opposite the entrance to the office. Then he let out a wail and got up, moving to and fro again. Received a call from the divisional police officer (D.P.O) to come to the station for questioning.
Hon Dennis was not surprised to see the DPO’s call.
“I know that Senator Benard must have gone to the station to report”
He reasoned that Ossy (The leader of the kidnappers ) was the only one that knew that he's the one engineering the whole senator's son's kidnap. He concluded that if Ossy didn't reveal his identity to his men, he would bluntly deny everything about the kidnap since Ossy is dead. He found solace in this wonderful idea and he began to prepare to go to the station.

Officers good morning.
He greeted with a smile

Good morning sir, welcome Sir the inspector replied.
( The inspector directed him to the office of the D.P.O)
Honourable Dennis, you are welcome.
Please sit.
(They shook hands together and then he sat on the executive chair in front of the D.P.O)
Yes I called you because we have a situation at hand and somehow you are getting involved.

Am I getting involved?
What situation exactly? He asked pretentiously.

( The D.P.O sighed) You are aware that Senator Benard's son was kidnapped, and the information reaching us is that you are the one that sent your men to kidnap him.

Hon Dennis' eyes were wide open in disagreement. D.P.O I don't understand this. How can you say such a thing to me? Why will I kidnap my friend's son?
(Anger was written as over Hon Dennis)

Is okay you are just a suspect based on our investigation and the investigation is still on meanwhile officers take him to the room for custodial interrogation.

Sir I would like you to comply with me so that everything will be easy for us.
( The officer said but Hon didn't utter a word)
First, do you have a hand in the kidnapping of Senator Benard's son?

No! I don't even have an idea of what all this kidnapping story is about?

Okay but he said you kidnap his son and ask him to step down from the upcoming election.

That man is very sick. I didn't make such a conversation with him and asked him if he made that conversation with me then he should give us a proof.

Who then did he make the conversation with. The officer asked, still staring at him.

Officer I don't know like I said I have an idea.
(The officer brought out his phone to play a record for him where he said..

No you are the true definition of coward. So you sent your incompetent men to eliminate my daughter.
You see I have been calm with you all these while but I can see that you are taking me for granted, Now you will hear the other side of me)
Hon. What do you have to say concerning this record?

Nonsense..Hon Dennis went on
Officer are you aware this is not the whole conversation?
He sent his men to go and eliminate my only daughter over the kidnapping of his son that I know nothing about.
Yet he has the tenacity to still call my number?
That was when I made that particular statement.
( Hon Dennis concluded already feeling uncomfortable who knows what the next evidence will be he asked himself)

What can you say concerning the death of their leader?

You mean senator's Benard's son kidnappers?

Yes!

I don't know, officer, I don't have any ideas.

Or did the guy or senator's son say that I talked to them on the phone or see me in that place?

Obviously now! The young men said it was only their leader that knows who they are working for and now their leader is dead. The officer said, already feeling weak.

Oh shit I wish the young man was alive . This whole thing would have been easy. He replied, already smiling in his heart.

But Hon, why would he send his men to eliminate your daughter?

I don't know, probably because I am his opponent in this upcoming election. Probably he will be looking for a way to hurt me thereby accusing me of kidnapping his son to ruin my chance…

I see! well this will be all for now if the need for you to come again warrant please kindly comply with us. The officer said politely.

That's not a problem, we are all working together for the welfare of our citizens and the country at large.
(While his face is beaming with smile,he shook hand with the officer and walk away)

The Senator has taken it upon himself to stop Jeff from every unnecessary movement, especially from throwing himself available to every kind of lady he sees.
God has helped us that you managed to escape from those kidnappers.. Senator Benard went on You see why I always tell you to be careful?
Especially during this election period, other parties are working overnight, especially Hon Dennis, my opponent. He is willing to strike at any given opportunity. I have come to the conclusion that you will stay here with us till the election is over.
Dad noo I am not staying. I am not a child. I have my own house and I can take care of myself, sorry dad I can't stay here.

Son your father and I mean well for you, your safety is more important to us please..his mother added.

Son! I am not requesting or begging you to stay, I am saying you have to stay here with us till the end of the election and that's final. Senator concluded without mincing words.
(Jeff grumbled and murmured) if at all I will stay it will be on one condition…

Please tell us what condition?
His mother asked inquisitively.

That nobody will preach marriage to me or the whole sermon on “stop jumping from one lady to another”
You can only tell that to your mother and not me, I am a lion and I am responsible so you as my son must follow my footsteps not these ones you are doing.
His mother (Hon Florence) smiled. Okay your majesty.
They laugh as Jeff follows his father to the room.

The election is scheduled to be held on the 18th which is next week and every candidate, every party is working tirelessly to make sure they emerge as the winner. Especially senator Benard, who's doing everything within his power to win the governorship election. He has been busy attending series meetings with his party members,his constituency and every other person needed for the election to be in his favor..

All election materials, ballot papers and box, pulling unites and every other things needed for the election has been provided by the independent national electoral commission (I.N.E.C)

Comrade Donald as the party chairman of Lion heart group (L.H.G) addressing his fellow party members. He went on
As you all know the election is tomorrow and we are not leaving any stone unturned, all our five different candidates must win in their various local governments. Especially for governorship, Hon Dennis we made you our candidate because we believe that you are the perfect man that can match Senator Benard. (Hon Dennis nodded in affirmation)
So everyone should work, meet as many as you can, do what you can. All our target is to win the election.
We are adjoining the meeting here so that we can go home to rest while by 11pm is another important meeting…

They adjourned the meeting as they greeted each other before everyone went his or her way.

INEC releases election sooner than expected. Everyone was anxious to hear the announcement. Including Senator Benard who refused to watch or listen to news regarding the result.
At night, the governorship election result was finally announced as read out by the newscaster.
B.G.P( Blossy generation party) won over L.M.G(Lion mind group)
By calculation out of 25 local governments Senator Benard won in 15 local governments while Hon Dennis won in 10.

When the Senator received the news from Jeff he was very happy he couldn't contain his joy as he used one week to throw a party to celebrate his very.

Hon Dennis has know choice than to call his governor and congratulate him.
