Chapter 14

Willy turned up at seven and ordered for scrambled eggs, fruits and bread spread with honey and margarine. Diana dispatched Kelvin on the motorbike for the items. She did her best to keep Stacey out of Willy’s reach.

“The police can’t know of our deal,” Diana told Willy after he had eaten breakfast. “You are doing this for your daughter.”

“Of course, babe.” The ‘babe’ and the grin almost made Diana puke. “First things first. I want a road map to my money. I need dates.”

“I can’t do that and you know it.”

“Can’t or won’t?”

“Look, the police are waiting.”

“They will wait as long as you want them to.”

“A little trust will take us a long way.”

“Trust?” Willy said. “Delilah should have been the last woman to peddle ‘trust’ to a man.”

Diana lost her head. “I don’t work for the insurance company, okay? I only happen to be a beneficiary in a claim. As things stands, I am a cheat in their books. How am I supposed to give you dates, eh? Answer me!”

Willy smiled warmly. “Wow! You are a beauty when you get worked up. One more thing.” He dialled a number. “Stan, we are up and running. Talk to her.”

Diana pulled back two steps. Willy put the phone on loud speaker.

“Four million, right?” Stan said.

“Answer him!”

“Yes,” Diana said. “Four million.”

Willy ended the call. “Let’s do this.”

The two walked to the main road to catch their bus to town. They were entering the police station within twenty minutes. They approached Pai at his desk and to him that they were ready for the test.

“Who is he?” Pai asked.

“He is Stacey’s father,” Diana said.

“You said he was in jail!”

Sanse walked. “I know you,” he said.

“It is good to be known,” Willy said with a smile.

“You are Willy the Brute,” Sanse said. “You should be in jail.”

Sanse pulled Pai aside and briefed him on Willy. “I had a watertight case against that rat. If he is here then he escaped from jail.”

“Would he walk in here after an escape?” Pai asked.

“Just check.”

Pai slapped handcuffs on Willy. “Oh my, is this how you treat visitors? To hurry things up call Inspector Jacob Soja. Kindly say hey to him for me.”

Pai stormed Boko’s office.

“Just a little inconvenience, darling,” Willy assured Diana who looked lost.

Sanse stood at a distance studying Willy.

“Word on the streets has it that you were shown the door,” Willy said.

Sanse embarked on clicking his knuckles.

“Old habits die hard,” Willy said. “The comb is next.”

Pai returned.

Willy said coolly. “My babe tells me that you are withholding her husband’s body. That is gross.”

“Why are you not in jail?” Pai asked.

“You are asking the wrong questions.”

“What are the right questions?” Pai asked.

“Is Stacey your daughter?” Willy said. “Will you submit to a DNA test? Here are the answers. We met five years ago, isn’t that right babe? Yah, five years ago. There was this magnetism between us. We hit jackpot on the first night. The product is the cutest doll ever.”

Boko appeared at the door.

“Oh oh,” Willy said.
