Married to a monster - Season 1 - Episode 12

{Back to reality}

The D.P.O breathed in as soon as Betty finished her story.

To say I was relieved would be an understatement. I was dying of it!.
The D.P.O told one of the officers to call his wife so she could come and pick Betty up while another was sent to call Micheal. He arrived almost immediately with a police man holding him tightly.

“Let him be.” The D.P.O said as Micheal joined me on my seat. The D.P.O looked at us. “This is really incredible. Who is this body guard?” He asked.

“Patrick.” Both Micheal and I said together.
“Patrick?”
We nodded.

“Do you know how long he’s been working for Mr Eric?” The D.P.O asked and I looked at Micheal. Only him should know that.
Micheal stared for a while and nodded.
“Yes. Over five years now.” He replied.
“In the story my daughter narrated now,the said Patrick told the dying man he would come back for the house documents and other things. I’m sorry we can’t totally release you even though you are innocent.
I’m sorry. But we are going to allow you go back home and await the arrival of Patrick.
Pray that he does for he’s the only way for you to be free of this case entirely.

And as for the dead bodies,we have to bury them with immediate effect.

After that you can go home. We will keep an eye on you guys and the house and alert us immediately Patrick comes.”

After the bodies were buried we were permitted to go home. Outside the station,I saw Betty getting into her mum’s car. She stopped as she saw me pointing at her and saying something to Micheal who smiled.

We got closer to her and I extended my hand for a hand shake. She gladly took it.

“Thank you so much for saving us. You are a God sent.” I told her and she smiled. She was quite pretty and young, probably,18.
“You are welcome. And I feel so pleased to have saved someone. You won’t believe it but it was my first time. I have to rush now…my mum is already impatient.”

Betty said as she heard her mum scream her name from the car. We waved as she hopped inside and they zoomed off.

Almost immediately,as we wanted to enter the van to take us back home,my eyes felt dizzy and saw stars. I couldn’t stable my feet as I staggered. Michael looked at me,alarmed as he held me.

“Rose! What’s that?” He asked but he seemed as if he was far away because I couldn’t hear anything close again.
I ran out of breath and slumped against him, collapsing.
