Chapter 47: Chapter 47
"Drive faster!"
she exclaimed.
If this is how you will keep on driving, it's better you step out of this car and I will drive!."
My mum yelled at him.
She was so tensed.
The driver increased the speed.
.
.
They took about an hour or more to reach my house.
"Where could she keep her key!."
My mum checked by my door, she saw a flower bowl, checked in, and saw keys.
"Your unreasonable, see where she keeps her keys!."
My mum exclaimed in pity.
She opened the door and entered the house.
"What a mess!."
Frank exclaimed.
The house was filled with dust.
"Dirty plates everywhere!. Couldn't she clean her house before going?!."
She spoke.
The letter was just beside the dirty plate on the table.
"A letter!."
She picked it with the tips of her fingers and read it aloud.
"Frank this is weird. Why didn't she call me?. Her phone number isn't going through!. I don't believe in this crab. Your sister is in trouble!."
My mum cried out.
Frank too wasn't at ease. He wished he could be of more help.
"I just called the police, mum. They are on their way. I have also called for Grace's friends."
Frank explained.
"Great!. I need you to do something more."
My mum exclaimed.
"What's that mum!."
Frank asked happily.
"I need Mr. Jackson's contract. Your dad's associate!. Be fast about it!.'
"Mum, but dad asked us to stay far away from him!."
Frank exclaimed in fear.
"Frank!. Is your dad here?!."
She asked
"No mum!."
He answered
"Then don't be stupid and shut up. Do as I say!. Get me the number very fast. Have I made my self clear!."
She yelled at him.
"Yes!."
Frank got scared.
He then began to phone the workers at their firm to get Mr. Jackson's phone number from any.
While his mum was busy inspecting the house, seriously.
"Something is really wrong."
She maintained her words, strolling around the house trying to get her ideas clearer.
.
.
{Bell ringing!.}
.
.
"Frank open the door."
She shouted.
He then rushed to the door and opened it.
"Mum it's the police!."
Frank announced
She immediately scrambled into the living room.
"Welcome to you all!."
My mum greeted
They were two policemen and one detective given to us by the police go follow up.
As usual, my mum thought they weren't competent enough. She was filling the formalities as the law requires.
"Thank you, madam!."
They replied.
"I will like us to start immediately, without wasting time. My daughter might be somewhere suffering as we are talking. I hope there is no problem with this?."
My mum asked.
"No madam!. It's fine, we are here to work!."
The police replied.
"Good. No one has seen my daughter for months now. I saw this letter as I came in. The Grace I know would have texted me instead. Her phone isn't going through. My daughter loves her job so much. She can't stay away for this long. I think she has been kidnapped..."...
My mum kept on explaining the least she knew.
They listen to her carefully. One was going around the house searching for hinds.
"l don't think so. If so the kidnappers would have contacted the family already!. It's been long now!."
The policemen example.
"What then?!. How will you explain all these!."
my mum asked worriedly
"It might be something else. Do you have any enemy that might want to harm your family?!"
Police asked too
"I don't think so!."
my mom replied
"Okay!."
.
{Bell ringing}
.
Frank opened the door again.
It was Elizabeth and Izzy!.
They presented themselves, sat, and explained what they knew to the police.
They listened carefully. They said all the knew. No one mentioned the club thou.
"After listening to you all, my conclusion is, someone wants to cause harm to your family, or Grace has problems with someone. The worse, is she might be dead. We hope not!. Izzy, you mentioned the name Jordan and you said he was close to Grace this last day. How can we get to him!. Do you have his phone number?. Or do you know about his house? Anything."
The policeman asked
Izzy hesitated fearfully
"Coming to think of it, I don't know anything about that guy. All I can remember is his face and this is strange!."
Izzy stated.
She began to question her self.
"I think, I saw the young guy when I came here. but I can barely recognize him!."
Grace's mum said.
"Officer, this visit card, has the name Jordan, on it!."
The man who was checking the house with his gloves on said.
"Good. I have to make this man come to the station and answer some questions. Thanks for the cooperation. But you all have to pass at the police station to give the official statements!."
The police officer explained.
"We are okay with that. All we want is to find Grace as soon as possible!."
They answered.
After taking pictures, and picking some few stuff they began to depart.
"Can you stay in the house!."
My mum asked as they were already about to leave.
"Of course, we are done here. It's not a criminal site, no one died in here!. We have taken all we need already."
The police authority them to us the house."
Then they left.
"Thank you, girls. Elizabeth, sorry I couldn't make it at your wedding!."
My mum said.
"It doesn't matter. Thanks for the gift as well. But it's not the time for this!."
Elizabeth said.
"I am trying to distress. You know my health condition. I have to clean the house now because I will stay here!."
My mum said.
"Great. We are here to help you!."
Izzy said.
"Thank you so much. Let's not throw any without checking or reading. We might find something!."
My mum suggested.
Then they all cleaned the house.
