Silence prevailed at the sitting where Jeff and Helen were both thinking of what to do on the case of their abducted friend. Chief Charles had clearly stated what he wanted but they were in no position to grant him his request.
'I think we should tell the chairman about this or what do you think?' Helen said breaking the silence.
'You are right, he will be able to help organize a rescue team. Let me call him'
Jeffery replied as he dialed the Chairman's number.
'Hello my boy, how are you? I tried Malik's number but it didn't get through.
Where is he?' Chairman asked.
'Malik has been kidnapped sir' Jeff announced.
'Kidnapped! How? When? By who?' Chairman asked surprisingly.
'He was taken yesterday by a man called Charles.'
'Oh am sorry, Charles has been tracking my diamonds for quite a long time, he must have known you guys have it' Cheif said.
'Sir we have to organize a fast rescue mission to get Malik out' Jeff said.
'That I will surely do after my diamonds are delivered to the buyer safely, he will be in Lagos the day after tomorrow'
'But Malik would have been dead by then' Jeff protested.
'Am sorry, I can't act otherwise. Remember my diamonds are the top priority not your friend. I will call you when the buyer is in town, good night' the call ended.
Jeffery dropped the phone with disappointment.
'What is it?' Helen asked noticing the look on his face.
'I just realized that I have been working for an asshole all this while' Jeffery confessed.
'What did he say?' Helen inquired.
'He won't be helping, I guess we are on our own' He said.
'Then let’s organize a rescue ourselves' Helen said.
'No Helen there won't be any, am going to give Charles what he want' Jeff said.
'You must be joking' she said
'What other option do you think we have? Do you know where Malik is being held? Do you know how many securities are there? Do we have anyone to help us on such a mission?' Jeffery yelled at her angrily.
'Calm down Jeff, think about the consequences of the decision you are about to make' She said.
'No consequence Helen, Am going to fake our death to make sure the Chairman won't be looking for us' Jeffery said before he rose up and left the sitting room.
