The Hole in The Wall - Season 1 - Episode 94

A huge man stumbled into the dining in khaki shorts and a singlet. He had massive strong calves or ‘yam legs’ although he was old, he was tough looking and very fit. She imagined how he would have been like twenty years ago, probably a young rascal causing trouble wherever he went.

But he was Rex’s father now.

He was Alli no joy.

And he was currently disoriented. He rubbed his eyes which were bloodshot then scratched his head as he looked round the dining as if it was his first time there.

His eyes finally settled on her “Who are you? where’s everybody? Why do i sound like this?”
His voice was cracked, probably from all the snoring.

Kirsten stood up slowly “sir, a lot has happened while you were sleeping, I’d advise you to sit down”

He rolled his neck sharply causing a loud cracking noise. “who are you?” he asked again. he sounded less friendly now and his voice was much clearer.

“I work with your son Rex….I’m here because….because your grand daughter Emma was kidnapped”

The eyes cleared immediately, they remained red but this time not from sleepiness. Alli no Joy stopped scratching his head and blinked at her “What?!”

When Tonye ended the call, she felt slightly better. She had just spoken with Rex and Bami and from the sound of things they were okay…plus Bami had called her honey again and even told her he loved her. She couldn’t remember when last they had said that to each other since their little wedding ceremony 2 and a half years ago.

She noticed the car had stopped moving
.
“driver is this the place?” She asked
“yes”
Clyde nodded studying his phone “he’s right, we’re here”

The apartment was small, and on its own, not really in line with theo ther houses in the close and not the same design. It looked like it had been built on afterthought.

Buzz was handcuffed and still unconscious but Tonye wasn’t convinced, plus she couldn’t leave him with the driver, an innocent civilian whether he was unconscious or not.

Finally she and Clyde doubled the handcuffs then used jumper cables from the booth to shackle his feet together. They folded him in the booth like a foetus is the womb after tonye reloaded his slumber with a gun slap.

“Driver, five minute tops and we’re out” Clyde assured the driver who didn’t look the least bit bothered by what was happening
She and Clyde headed for the house watching the dark windows. “Clyde remember the baby might be in here so we need to be extra careful”
“roger that”

It was strange to find the front door unlocked and according to proceedure, Tonye stayed to the side then pushed the door open slowly while Clyde went in gun first.
