CHAPTER : 05

.

They were there when all of a sudden, Marc's cell phone started ringing.

*

Hello Ignatius

Marc, the police are here. I'm already leaving, goodbye guys, and good luck for the future.

*

He hung up.

Who informed the police? Who informed the police?

Suddenly, the police car pulled up in the yard of the house, the inspector approached the house and began to invite Mark to open the door.

How are we going to do this, Mark?

We have no choice but to let them in. We're surrounded.

He looked at Gabe who was half unconscious on the floor.

We'll meet again, Gabin. I'm not finished with you yet. You can hear me.

He opened the door and put his hand on his head. Landry did the same. The police handcuffed the two men and quickly called an ambulance to attend to Gabin, who was already unconscious. The inspector approached Sandrine, who was shaking.

Madam, everything is fine.

I hope my husband is going to be all right.

Yes, you have nothing to worry about. He's going to be all right.

Emily, who was inside under her bed, went out to her mother who thanked her and hugged her very tightly for her courage.

The police took their car and took Marc and his accomplice to the police station. By this time, Gabin was already in intensive care.

To Spain

Sitting in his office, eyes fixed on his laptop, Junior was visualizing something when his secretary entered his room after having the person enter.

Sir there is a phone call for you.

Understood. Put me through to the person.

Understood sir.

She went out and distributed in her office. She pressed a button and Junior's cell phone started ringing. He picked up the call.

*

Hello, sir.

Good evening Junior, I hope I'm not disturbing you.

Not at all, sir. What's up?

I had an emergency this morning. I have to go back to France. I don't know when I'll be back but it's going to take a while. I'd like you to tell your friend Alfred that I'll let him know when the time is right. For the moment, we can't sign the contract.

I will inform him.

___ I'm traveling tomorrow morning, I can't go through the company again.

___ I understand.

*

He hung up and let out a gasp. He took his cell phone and called Alfred to inform him of the unexpected news.

In Benin

The mood was great, since he received the call from his junior brother, he became very very happy. At least that's exactly what he was looking for.

My appointment was postponed.

Is that really bad news? Sonia asked.

No, not at all. On the contrary, it's very good news, it will allow me to take good care of you. Maybe before he invited me for the contract, my daughter wouldn't be inside anymore.

I understand.

Son, I'm dropping you off today and there's no exceptions.

___ Okay, Dad. Well, I'll go take my bath.

God-given finished his tea and went to take his bath. After he finished getting ready, he joined his father who was waiting for him to leave the house.

Well, honey, take good care of yourself. I'm not going to last at work.

Okay, honey.

He kissed his beloved, got in his car and left the house with his son. Once at the school, he dropped off God-given, who thanked him, and headed back to the company. As he was about to enter his office, the secretary stopped him and rushed towards him.

Good morning, Mr. Alfred, your junior brother called this morning.

I got it! Don't worry, I've already talked to him.

I hope it's nothing serious?

No, everything's fine. Is Mr. Mariano here yet?

Yes. He told me he wanted to take something and turn around.

Very well. I'd like you to invite him to my office right away. I don't want him to leave the company without me seeing him.

I understand, sir.

Alfred opened his office and settled down. Mariano, who came early to the company, simply wanted to pick up some work tools to go to Spain for the contract. After putting together these things, he closed his backpack and went out. As he went down the hallway, he met the secretary.

Mr. Alfred is looking for you, he said it's urgent and you should see him before you leave.

I understand, I'll go to his office.

He gave his bag to the secretary and went to Alfred's office who was already waiting for him.

Hello Mr. Alfred, you want to see me?

Yes, Mariano, it's about the contract.

Is there a problem, otherwise my flight is in 25 minutes.

No, you won't leave anymore. The CEO of the company had an emergency so the program was cancelled.

That's not true. What are we going to do?

We'll wait until he gets back. You don't need to worry. You'll go for that contract. I just don't know when.

___ All right, it doesn't matter. I'll cancel my flight. If you don't mind, I'll go and cancel my flight and put my things away.

Yes, you can go out.

Mariano went out while making a funny face. Alfred, who didn't expect such a reaction from him, started to look at him. He took out his cell phone and looked at the time. On the other side, arriving in his office, Mariano collapsed on his seat and began to have strange ideas in the back of his head. For him Alfred had cancelled the program, he got up, put back the things he had moved and went out. The rage was so much on his face that he didn't pay attention to one of his associates calling him. When he got outside, he took his cell phone and went home.

It was ringing at exactly 12:30 a.m. all over the country, so Alfred quickly put his things away and went outside. He got into his car and drove to his son's school. Once there, he was totally surprised, not because he had seen something but because his son was talking to the guard. For him, the latter had already created something. He quickly parked his car and walked towards them.

Good evening sir, what did he do to you? Alfred asked as he touched his son's shoulder.

The guard smiled and touched his son's cheek

who in turn smiled.

No," he replied, "your son did nothing to me. We were quarrelling like we do every day. Your son is really a good person, sir.

Thank you very much, now son, let's go home.

Okay, Dad. Goodbye Warden.

See you tomorrow God-given, be good.

I got it.

Alfred got into his car and left the school with his son.
