Chapter Thirty Nine….
Sammie walked to the main hall and announced the disturbing news to everyone….
“What? How did it happen? How the fuc-k did he get arrested?” Isme yelled at him like it was his fault.
“Wow!!! This is the best news I’ve heard in my entire life” Pierce screamed walking into the main hall with his crutches.
“This isn’t funny so shut that crap you call a mouth” Nellie snapped at him.
“You’re lucky that i ain’t on my toes or else i would have thought you a lesson, how dare you raise your shrill voice at me” Pierce said with gritted teeth.
“There’s no time for this nonsense, you guys should stop and let’s think of a plan” Rebel yelled at the both of them.
“Sammie….” She called ti-ghtly.
“How exactly did it happen and why was he the only one arrested?” Rebel frowned.
“You should be asking yourself this question Bell, it’s all your fault, you think i don’t know?” Sammie purred.
“Everyone makes mistake Sammie so drop it” Isme stood up for Bell.
“Tell us every details and don’t skip any part” She ordered….
“Alright, we left the clan this morning and on arriving at the clan, boss ordered me to go sto-re the containers in the storage room since the men who delivered the container were already there….i went to the storage room with some of our men who helped out in loading the containers….the boss on the otherhand was outside making a phonecall and thanking Ria for the safe landing of the shipment….I was heading out of the storage room when a sp-otted a cop car rolled into the modeling company….boss who happened to be outside was handcuffed and dragged into the car, his eyes met with mine and he signalled me to return back to the room….I ran back into the storage room and locked it up….we were about fifteen people who hid there…..the rest of the cops evaded the building and arrested each and everyone of our models, the building was torn upside down as made sure they scattered everything in sight to see if they’ll find any drugs but luckily, the main deals are in the storage room….after some minutes, i walked out and they were all gone, no models were left behind and all the men on standby were taken…only the fifteen of us who hid are safe….i left them there, they’re putting things back in order, i just said i should return back to the clan and inform everyone….Isme, if you have any connection in Denim, please reach out to them, it would have been easier but President Gonzalez is no longer in power so i think we’re screwed” Sammie narrated and sighed after making the last statement.
“Was there any exchange of words before he was arrested?” Rebel inquired.
“Ion know” Sammie rolled his eyes.
“Does the boss have a lawyer?” Rebel inquired.
“Yes he does but ion think she’s in Denim right now” Nicky replied.
“Let’s go to the station” Rebel mumbled.
“I have something to tell him” She added.
★★★
“Let me outta this godd**n place, i fuc-king did nothing wrong” Matteo snarled at the detective who was interrogating him.
“I want my lawyer, you have no right to question me, if you wanna know anything, ask her” He yelled at the detective.
“Proving stubborn huh!! Do i look like i’m joking with you?” The detective yammered.
“Are you or are you not an accomplice of President Gonzalez? Don’t try to deny it because we know you funded his campaign” The detective smi-rked.
Matteo’s expression changed that moment but he was quick to replace it with a smile.
“President Gonzalez is my hommie no doubt, we used to chill together, aside that there’s nothing more” Matteo replied….
“Are you sure there’s nothing more? We were giving a search warrant and after searching Gonzalez’s house, we found some drugs and weapons and he happened to admit that you were the one who supplied them to him….what do you have to say about that Matteo Pierce?” The detective yammered.
“Drugs? Weapons? I guess Gonzalez is such a funny man, let’s set something straight…..men like Gonzalez like taking people down with them….his reason is what i don’t know….what prove does he have that i had the drugs and weapons delivered to him?” Matteo huffed.
“Still proving stubborn huh!” The detective yelled
“Then can you explain this?” He said and placed a docu-ment on the table…
Matteo glanced at it and his heart skipped a beat….
“Wondering how i got something so confidential?” the detective chuckled….
“Matteo Pierce….what’s your signature doing on this paper?” He banged the table.
Matteo just stared at the paper in confusion but he didn’t show it..
“How did this paper get here? I’m sure i hid it in my drawer…..Bell” He snarled as Realization hit him.
“You’ve finally succeeded in killing me ” He cussed inwardly….
He stared at the docu-ment once more….it was the paperwork of transfer of funds he normally made to Gonzalez…..
The television in the interrogation room turned on and the news that popped up was that of his arrest.
“What do you intend gaining from this?” He glared at the detective.
“Don’t dodge my question man, is this or is this not your signature?” The detective yelled.
“This is a bullshit…..it’s obvious the signature is forged” Matteo rolled his eyes but de-ep down his heart was palpitating….he was scared…if there’s a word bigger than been scared, that’s what i’d use…he doesn’t want to return back to jail….jail suc-ked…
“If you want to leave here you better co-operate with us, if you don’t, you might end up going back to prison” The detective threatened and Matteo threw him a life threatening glare.
“that’s my advise to you” The detective added.
“If you have any other questions, consult my lawyer, I’ll say no more” Matteo shuttered and ignored the rest questions the detective threw at him.
The detective on seeing that he wasn’t responding any longer pack up his docu-ments and walked out after throwing him a glare.
“fuc-k you Bell…fuc-k you” Matteo screamed like a maniac punching the table after the detective left.
“If i had listened to Nellie, all this wouldn’t have happened” He sighed….
“I thought feigning sickness during Gonzalez’s interrogation would save my as-s but it didn’t, guess this method doesn’t solve everything….I’m screwed up, the docu-ments with them is gonna further screw me up” He sighed.

“What the fuc-k do you mean by he’s not co-operating? Didn’t you show him the damn paper?” Watson yelled at the detective.
“He’s not speaking and the worst part is that he didn’t look shock when i showed him the papers” The detective replied.
“Are you sure these papers are real?” He added
“Of course they’re real, have i ever given you any fake docu-ment before?” Watson glared at him.
“I’m just asking” The detective rolled his eyes.
“Extract the truth from him, I’m hundred percent sure that Matteo Pierce is guilty” Watson shuttered
“If we can get more evidences and if possible find any drugs on him, there’s no way he’ll escape jail sentence” The detective muttered.
“Your men didn’t find anything in the modeling company?” Watson inquired once more
“Not even a gun, maybe he’s innocent” The detective sighed.
“If he’s innocent, Gonzalez wouldn’t have implicated him…about the drugs, there’s one person who can show us where they’re hiding it….” Watson smi-rked.
“Who?” The detective asked curiously
“Agent Rebel Wright” Watson responded.
“Rebel Wright from your agency?” The detective gasped.
“Yes” Watson replied with a nod
“I’ve always looked forward to working with her but i have a question though, how sure are you that she’s gonna know?” He inquired.
“She has been in his clan for more than two months and she was the one who gave me those docu-ments….few weeks back we spoke on phone and she told she that she has found where the drugs are in the modeling company, she told me that the reason we can’t find it is because there’s a secret pas-sage and that’s where the main content were” Watson explained.
“She was supposed to take me there the following day but unfortunately she didn’t call and the next time we saw, she was saying some shits which were of no use” He made the last statement with an eyeroll…
“Then we nee-d Rebel here….how can we get her?” The detective inquired.
“I myself can’t reach her, it’s high time she leave his clan but she can’t be reached” Watson purred.
The door opened and other detectives stormed in.
“Any lucks with the models?” The senior detective who interviewed Matteo inquired.
“They’re as stubborn as hell, none of them has said anything useful and the worst part of it is that they’re fli-rty” One of the detectives complained.
“What of the men?” He inquired
“They’re refusing to speak up”
“If they don’t wanna talk, torture them, let me see how they’ll still keep their li-ps sealed” Watson ordered.
“Boss some people are here to see Matteo Pierce….one of them introduced herself to be Rebel Wright” A female detective rushed in and said.
“Rebel? Things are really working for our good” Watson jumped from his seat.
“Allow only her to see him and after that, send her to me” The senior detective mumbled.
“Watson…you may return back to your agency, thanks for your help, I’ll call you if anything pops up” he added.
“Alright Sir” Watson smiled and began walking out….the moment he turned his back his smile was replaced with a frown.
“I’m going nowhere….I’ll wait for Rebel outside….she’ll tell me the damn game she’s trying to play” He snarled inwardly.
★★★
“Matteo…..”
He raised his head quickly the moment he heard her voice….the last voice he wanna hear.
“What are you doing here? Wanna complicated my life more than you already have?” He yelled at her….
“Matteo….what’s going on?” She pouted, drew out a sit and sat down.
“What did i ever do to you, didn’t i love you enough? Why did you hurt me this much? I welcomed you into my life, despite of what others were saying, i trusted you….my daughter loved you and this is how you repay us? You ruined my life Rebel” He shuttered.
“Matteo I’m…..”
“Don’t…” be cut her off.
“Medicine after death” He yammered.
“I will never trust you again Bell….” he gritted his teeth.
“I’m here to give you an advise, from my observation, you were arrested without a warrant and hence can only be held for forty eight hours….no matter the question they throw at you just keep your answers straight….you know nothing and if they keep pressing ha-rder, tell them to consult your lawyer…..Sammie called her on our way here and she’s gonna take a flight from wherever she is…..be expecting her some hours from now” Rebel mumbled….
“I don’t nee-d your advise” Matteo rolled his eyes
“You don’t have to nee-d it, I’ll give them anyway” She smiled.
“Rebel Wright…your time with him is over” A female detective walked in and Rebel stared at him once more before standing to her feet.
“I saw the paper you gave them Rebel” Matteo’s word made her to freeze her on sp-ot.
“Wait…..Watson is here? He’s the one with the paper” Rebel gasped and made to continue walking when the pain in her wai-st came back.
“Are you okay?” Matteo didn’t know when the words left his li-ps on seeing how her expression changed and how she held unto her wai-st.
“Atleast you still care” Rebel smiled before walking away completely.
“Why did i even ask that?” Matteo smacked his head.
“What’s my business if she’s hurt”.
★★★
Rebel was escorted to their boss office.
“Take a seat” the boss ordered and she did as instructed.
“Detective Spencer told me that you helped in getting the docu-ments, thanks agent Rebel” He began….
“Is that all? If that’s all….I’ll like to be on my way” She said and made to stand.
“No sit….” he ordered
“A fellow agent of yours told us that you know the place where the ha-rd drugs are kept within his modeling company and in addition to that, you know the way to his modeling company so, I’ll like to make you a business proposition” He smiled
“What proposition?” Rebel smiled.
“I know about your dream to become a regional head in your agency, help us to round up this case by taking us to the secret pas-sage and the clan….if we can get our hands on these two places…..it’ll go a long way and in addition to that, I’m offering you a sum of $75 million” He smiled.
“What will then happen to Matteo?” Rebel frowned.
“He’ll be sent to the jail where he belongs” the detective replied as a matter of factly.
“According to section 111 of my agencies handbook, I’m answerable only to the government, the six panel and the people and aside from those three, the detectives weren’t mentioned….what Watson did is violation of section 111, if you want my help, consult my superior Mr….” Rebel glanced at his tag.
“J.J Coven” She completed.
“We’re working for thesame government you promised to serve….what’s the difference?” He chuckled….
“Consult my superior….I’ll be on my way” Rebel shrugged off his question, stood to her feet and walked away.
“Disrespectful” He shuttered.
He dialed a number on his telecom.
“Send me Agent Rebel Wright’s file” He ordered.
★★★
“Let’s go guys” Rebel walked up to where she left Sammie and the rest.
“Where did you go with the detective, i sp-otted her escorting you to somewhere” Sammie eyed he suspiciously.
“She took me to her boss” Rebel replied honestly.
“And what did he say?” Sammie inquired further.
“Sammie….stop choking her with questions” Isme came to her rescue….she grabbed Rebel’s hand and they began walking away.
She stopped once they were some distance away from the rest.
“What did he say?” She asked curiously.
“He made me an offer, I’ll get a promotion in my agency and in addition, the sum of $75 million” she mumbled.
“Why will he make such an offer” Isme frowned.
“He wants me to take them to the storage room and the clan” Rebel dropped the bombshell.
“What?” Isme screamed.
“If you do, my son’s as-s will rot in jail, you know he ain’t clean….what’s gonna be of me, what’s gonna be of Zola…..Pierce is gonna take everything and leave her with nothing…..He’s gonna abandon Nicky and she won’t be able to raise up my grandchild….don’t do it Bell” She pleaded.
“Be rest as-sured that i won’t but i nee-d your help, i nee-d some protection, they’re gonna come for me” Rebel mumbled.
“Go wait in the car” Isme ordered her
“Matteo’s lawyer is already here, I’ll go get the rest so that we’ll leave” She added and began rushing off.
★★★
Rebel was just a distance away from the car when she felt somebody pulled her and hit her back against the wall.
A resounding slap was sent across her face and before she knew it, a punch was sent to her stomach making her to fall on the floor.
“You think I’m joking with you” The person behind it snarled and squ-atted to her level….he grabbed her ne-ck and pinned it to the wall that moment.
“Y-you are choking me” She gasped for air.
“What did i tell you the last time we met?” He yelled and sent another slap across her face.
“Stop Watson….you’re hurting me” She coughed.
“Didn’t i tell you to leave that damn clan already” He shuttered….
“Rebel….you’re pushing my fingers, don’t make me to do something you won’t like” He yammered.
“When last did you take your drugs, you’re becoming violent Watson” Rebel yelled.
“I’m taking you with me today Bell, to hell with that clan, you’re gonna be telling the agency what you’ve found….you’re gonna be telling us where the secret doorway is” He snarled and pulled her up.
“Step a good distance away from her” A female voice ordered Sammie….
He snapped his ne-ck towards her direction and froze on seeing the lady with a gun.
“Shoot and the cops will get alerted” He smi-rked.
“Are you sure?” She smi-rked and shot one of his legs….
“Ahh!!!!” Sammie screamed and fell to his knee.
“That’s called testing and mind you, the gun is soundproof and i can kill you without anyone knowing about it” She threatened and Watson began sweating heavily.
“Please don’t kill me” He pleaded with trembling li-ps….
“Now run off” She ordered and he took to his heels.
“I’m gonna kill you Bell” He screamed while running away.
“Are you okay?” She asked concernly and gave her an helping hand lifting her up from the floor.
“Thanks Nellie, i owe you one” Rebel appreciated.
“Thank Isme instead, she pleaded with me to come check on you” Nellie shrugged.
“I’m grateful you came” Rebel smiled.
“I still recognize that guy yunno!!!” Nellie said
“He’s thesame guy from President Gonzalez’s party right?”
“You have a retentive memory” Rebel chuckled.
“Who exactly is he to you? Don’t answer if you don’t want to”
“He’s my colleague”
“Alright, let’s head to the car” Nellie mumbled.
“A cop is heading towards this direction, hide the gun” Rebel ordered as she sp-otted a male cops.
“Thanks” Nellie smiled.
★★★
After Sammie and the rest joined them, they headed back for the clan.
“Where’s daddy?” Zola rushed to them the moment the car came to an halt and they jumped out.
“Be expecting him forty eight hours from now” Nellie replied the moment she stepped down.
“I wasn’t talking to you” Zola threw her a glare.
“Neither did i answer you bug” Nellie rolled her eyes.
“What’s gonna happen to the cakes, the foods, drinks and many more” Zola pouted.
“Don’t worry, the party is still gonna hold” Rebel as-sured.
“What do you mean, the foods are gonna spoil before forty eight hours” Nicky shuttered.
“Ion think so, Sammie is gonna stand in place of your dad” Rebel smi-rked.
“What?” Sammie frowned.
“It’s not even his birthday” Nellie chuckled.
“It’s a proxy birthday, just act like the boss for some hours” Rebel said to Sammie.
“Thanks angel” Zola jumped on Rebel happily.
“Do you know what that means?” She turned to Sammie after disengaging from the hu-g.
“You’re gonna be doing everything i say daddy Sammie” Zola smi-rked.
“Arrghh!!!” Sammie gritted his teeth.

“Ouch…..” Watson winced as the nurse was taking out the bullet.
“Won’t you be gentle” He snapped at the agency’s clinical nurse.
“Sorry boss” She apologized
He rolled his eyes and grabbed his phone…..he unlocked it and a smile curled on his li-ps on seeing Rebel’s location.
“The clan” He smiled
He had actually placed a tracking device on Rebel’s dress when he grabbed her earlier and hit her back against the wall.
“Smart Punk” he praised himself.
