Chapter 20: Episode 20
He tries to lay a complain at the police station for a missing person but they asked him to go home and after 48 hours and if the person is still not back then they will swing into action.
Benny informed them that is more than 24hours already. Her phone is switched off and her colleagues know nothing of her whereabouts.
He can't go home when his wife is out there, probably in danger. He can sense it that Dorcas is in danger.
The police asked him to stop panicking, that is the police law that a missing person, especially an adult has to be gone upto 48 hours before it will be filed. and that is when the search team goes in search of the said person.
But a missing child takes only 24hours.
And since Dorcas is a full grown adult she can return anytime but if she didn't then they will go looking for her after the time duration is over.
Benny drove to another police station but got almost same reply.
He walked out more frustrated.
"What is really going on? Charles got shot and now my wife is missing and nobody knows anything about her whereabouts...?
A call came into Benny's phone and it was Bianca
Not now please. I'm not in the right mood for her chicchat
Benny said and ignored the call
Bianca kept calling and Benny had to pick up
"Hello Bianca, I'm totally not in a perfect state of mind right now. Maybe we talk later. Not today please..."
Just as Benny wanted to end the call Bianca said something that brought back his whole disturbed heart to the present
"I saw your wife...! Bianca said and waited for his reaction
"You saw my wife? When, where... how. Please tell me Bianca, you really saw my wife??
The call ended unexpected. Benny without wasting time started calling back but Bianca did not pick
After about three missed calls, she picked up.
"Yes, Benny I'm actually in a tight place right now and can't talk. Allow me to call you back once I'm through with my present assignment..."
"Please Bianca, I can't wait... just tell me any information you have about my wife. Anything at all... i want to have a clue of her last whereabouts. Please..."
Benny pleaded impatiently
Bianca smile before replying him.
"If you can't wait until I'm done with what I'm doing then you have to come down here and meet me"
Benny agreed. Bianca sent her location address to Benny.
"This is a hotel Bianca. What are you doing in a hotel or is there a mistake in the address?
Benny called Bianca and asked
"No, that's my present location. I needed a place far from my house, a quiet lone place that I can concentrate and work. I a very important personal work that I'm working on. Are you coming or not Benny...?
"Uhmmm... yea. yes I'm coming..."
Benny answered uncertain.
"Good, I will be expecting you then" Bianca replied before ending the call.
Benny drove down to the place. She called the receptionist to direct her visitor to her room.
In no time there was a knock on the door and she opened up
Benny stepped in, water was dripping down her body. A laptop on the table and a tiny box close to a long cushion chair.
Bianca was on a very short towel wrapped around her waist. Her hair poured down to her shoulder and water was all over the body.
"I was kinda hot, stressed from working all night with no rest. I decided to take a quick shower before you come down, to avoid body odor... you know what I mean?
She said smiling and her smile was quiet inviting but Benny was not in the mood for either the smile or the half naked body.
She asked him what he will like to take but Benny told her he only wants the information she has of his wife.
The room was very cold. It appears that the air condition was turned on to the highest so how exactly will Bianca be hot in such an atmosphere
", Okay, so should I wait outside while you get dressed or you wouldn't mind telling me where you saw my wife. Please get on with it so that I will be on my way. I don't really have any time to waste..."
Bianca brought out her undies and display them on the bed.
white lingerie and bra.
Benny watched wondering what she was doing exactly.
"Don't tell me you don't want to waste time because any time spent with me isn't a waste. Hold on let me get dressed. You can quietly sit down and wait...
She deliberately allowed the towel to slip to the ground.
Benny quickly looked away as she exclaimed quietly before slowly picking up the towel and instead of wrapping back her naked self she dropped it on the bed.
