“This is all your fault, Jemmy
I had thought you would figure out a way like you promised”
Harry said disappointedly.
” Don’t get me wrong, Harry
I only said am going to find a way and Mr. George make sure he gets no bail.. he makes his case happens so fast”
Harry relaxed a bit.
“Am also sad Ethan has to go to jail and am unable to help…
Mr. George shows who he really is”
Jemmy added.
“It’s okay…
It’s over now, nothing can be done over spilled milk”
Ethan has been sentenced to life imprisonment already”
“We can find a way to get him out… Reopen his case again”
Jemmy suggested.
“Am sure Mr George will make sure his case will not be reopened ever again”.
We know who he is and what he is capable of”
Harry said.
“I have to go now, it’s getting late”
He stood up taking his car keys.
“Can you give me a ride? I came here in a taxi and it’s hard to get a taxi back because of the rain”
Jemmy asked.
“Sure. Why not?
Harry replied.
“Let’s go”

(Royal London’s hospital)
Lauren’s baby was placed in her arms. She received him warmly as she smiled.
Her faces were filled with mother’s love.
“Hello, little Quinn
Lauren muttered as she adjusted the soft clothing her baby was wrapped in.
Ellie and Alex smile as they watch her. Lauren looks up to them.
“Thank you so much guys for everything”
Lauren appreciates.
“You’re welcome…
Alex replied and closed the room window properly. The rain had reduced its pace.
“Isn’t the weather a bit strange?
The rain has been pouring down since yesterday night”
Ellie asked.
“Well, rainfall is a good thing.
Where is Ethan? Is he okay now? When is he going to see me?”
Lauren asked.
Ellie’s face became sad.
“Ethan is still in the police’s custody”
But he will be released soon, be rest assured”
Ellie replied. Her phone rang.
Excuse me”
She walked out of the room.
“So, what are we naming the child? ”
Alex asked.
“Ethan already gave him a name”
Lauren smile as she remembers the dream she had.
“Ethan?
When was that? Why didn’t I know about that?”
Alex said and sat near her on the bed
“Relax…
We just made it up this morning”
Lauren replied and Alex burst into laughter.
“You must be crazy…
Alex was arrested, how come you get to see him?”
*******
Ellie walked out of the Lauren’s ward. She walked down the walkway to pick up the call.
π”Jessica, what’s wrong?
πEllie, Everyone has been trying your line but wasn’t going through.
The situation has gone south now”
πTell me, what’s wrong?
She asked again.
πEthan has been sentenced to Life imprisonment by the judge.
Jessica said and so as Hannah behind her.
Ellie looked back to see the sad look on Hannah’s face.
“He is going to jail?”
Ellie was shocked. She couldn’t believe it for a second.
πAre you sure of what you are saying? ”
πHannah is on her way to the hospital, she can explain what happened in details
Jessica said.
Ellie ended the call. She walked to Hannah.
“It already happened. Ethan is in jail l now”
Hannah replied and burst into tears. Ellie hugged her.
“Am so sorry, Hannah…
Ethan doesn’t deserve this unfair judgment ****π²π§©***
Hannah and Ellie walked into Lauren’s ward.
“How are you doing? Lauren…
Am sorry I didn’t come to see you earlier”
Hannah said.
Congratulations, on giving birth safe and sound”
“No, it’s okay.. am not angry
I know you are busy taking care of Ethan’s matters”
Lauren replied.
” And speaking of him, where is he please?
Am dying to see him”
Lauren looked at Ellie. She doesn’t know what to say.
“Ethan has been…
Alex wanted to talk but Ellie kicked him in the leg.
“What’s going on? Is something wrong? The sad looks on your faces are scaring me”
Lauren said.
“Hrm…
Ethan is kind of preparing a surprise for you at home. But he won’t be able to make it here”
Hannah replied.
“Oh gosh, Hannah.. you shouldn’t have told her… Now it’s no more a surprise.
Do you know how much time Ethan had the surprise?
Ellie said.
Lauren smile.
“It’s okay… Am just going to act surprised even though am not.
I guess he is released from the cop’s custody again”
“Yeah…
Doctor James is going to discharge you by tomorrow morning”
I already spoke with him”
“No, am going back home tonight”
Tell Doctor James now, I can’t wait to see Ethan”
Alex folded his arms surprised by the false words and acting Ellie and Hannah just played to Lauren.
π§©~Unknown location ~π²
A man in a tuxedos walked into a room. The room was a bit dark with red luminous light. Everything contained in the room was displayed in red color.
Another man sat on a large chair sipping from his drink. The TV was on and it seems he doesn’t like the news he is seeing on TV.
(One of Linde Plc’s employees, Ethan Baker was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment in the space of two days. The whole city is in shock after all the pieces of evidence clear Ethan off. The city was not happy with the judge’s decision. The Mayor had promised to…)
He puts off the TV.
“Sir, everything isn’t going as planned again”
The man who walked into the room said.
“You have to save my son no matter what”
He replied.
He can’t spend the rest of his life in prison.
“We will do everything possible, Sir…
About Lauren’s case. She put to bed yesterday”
“Make sure she is taken care of and protected. Nothing must happen to the baby”
“Sure… He replied and bowed his head slowly.

~(Mayor’s office)~
“Am sorry about Ethan…
The Mayor said after Jemmy took her seat.
“Am sorry you can’t get Mr George this time”
Jemmy also said.
“Yeah…
Am surprised you now walk freely ever since you met Ethan.
You don’t fear Mr George anymore right? ”
“Yes… Even though he still thinks am dead.
I think we were too soft the last time,
Luke ain’t supposed to be walking freely enjoying freedom while Ethan who knows nothing about his girlfriend’s murder is being jailed”
“Are you sure Ethan didn’t kill his girlfriend? ”
The Mayor asked looking straight at Jemmy’s eyes.
“Mr Mayor, I trust Ethan the first time we met, I don’t think he can do it”
“Well, there are first time for everything.
Who knows, he might be acting innocent but…
He shrugged.
Jemmy scoffs.
“Can’t you see the foul play here? Mr George clearly bribed the judge.
The judge and the whole court sees he is not guilty but since the judge had received favors from Mr George, they dare not do what’s contrary to what they discuss before hand”
“So what do you want me to do now?”
The Mayor asked.
“Expose them… And free Ethan baker”
“I have no business with Ethan baker, we are just doing business with each other”
*Well, we have the same common goal, nailing down Mr George.
If we expose them, we free Ethan baker and we nailed down Mr George.
We both wins”
Jemmy said.
Mr Mayor sighs.
“Maybe you are right… Mr George is putting more crimes on himself.
For me to rule this city peacefully, Mr George have to leave this city or out of my way. He has caused way too much damage”
Jemmy smile.
“Then let’s act fast”

Ellie and Hannah walked out of the outside building. They noticed some two men trailing behind them, following them whenever they make a turning.
“Ellie? It’s like we are being followed”
Hannah whispered to Ellie beside her as they walk.
“Yeah, I noticed that too… What should we do?”
Ellie asked.
“Let’s stop walking.
They stop and the men also stopped. They fold their arms and keep their eyes on them.
“It’s like they are protecting us… They mean no harm”
Ellie said.
“How sure are you?
They look scaring”
Hannah replied.
“Let’s walk back inside then”
Ellie said and they both a turn back towards the hospital building.
They walked and saw another pair of men standing at the entrance of the hospital.
Ellie build up courage and walk to one of them.
“Am sorry.. who are you guys?
Ellie asked.
“We are executing an order”
One of them replied.
“An order from who?”
She asked again but this time, they didn’t reply. They didn’t say a word.
Ellie stare at them before joining Hannah inside.

(Mr George’s residence)
Lucy rushed to hug Mr George as soon as he came in.
“Good job, dad…
Mr George smile.
“That’s how we do things, Lucy…
He replied. Luke just watched them.
“So, not a common word of thank you can come out of your mouth”
Mr George said.
“Thank you, dad…
Luke replied and smile.
“Well, Ethan is out of the way now… Our plan can go on well”
“Yeah… But it’s just for the mean time, am very sure Ethan is going to leave that place soon
Luke said.
Lauren and Ellie are going to help him get out.
“Really?
I don’t think so…
Mr George said. That can’t happened cos Ethan would be dead by then.
“Do you think that’s where am going to stop? Hell no,
I meant it when I said and going to erase Ethan away for good”
“What are you planning dad?
Lucy asked.
“Let’s watch and see how things played out”
Mr George smile.
“And speaking of Lauren.. I heard she just puts to bed.
She gave birth to the bastard, so it’s nice we pay her a visit at the hospital”
“Yeah I was actually about to discuss that with you”
Luke said.

~(Royal London’s hospital)~
A range Rover vehicle stopped in front of the hospital building. Mr George came out and adjust his suit. Lucy and Luke also came out before the driver drives some metres away from the building after dropping them off.
Mr George looked at the hospital building and smile. He walks towards the building entrance. Luke and Lucy followed behind him.
He noticed the bodyguards that stood in front of the entrance.
He laughed.
“The hospital now hires bodyguard to keep watch of patients or what?”
“Who knows?
Maybe they are Lauren’s bodyguards”
Luke also said.
**π²**
Mr George followed the nurse as she lead the way to Lauren’s ward.
He noticed another set of bodyguards in front of the ward’s entrance.
“This way sir”
The nurse said and walks away.
He was also about to enter with Luke and Lucy but were stopped by the bodyguards
“Am sorry sir… You can’t be allowed inside”
One of them said.
“Are you out of your mind? Don’t you recognize me?
Mr George was surprised.
“It seems the shade glasses you all wore didn’t allow you to see well”
Lucy also said.
“You have to back off now or we take it the other way”
The bodyguard replied and four more men joined him surrounding Mr George, Luke and Lucy.
“Am Lauren’s uncle and my niece just put to crime”
Mr George introduced himself.
“We still can’t let you in”
They replied.
Ellie came out of the door. She saw everyone and quickly understood what’s going on”
“Guys, it’s fine…
They can come inside”
“Are you sure ma’am? We are warned that they are armed and dangerous”
One of the men asked.
“Yes, I understand… But you can let them inside.
They are just here to see how Lauren Quinn is doing”
Ellie replied.
Mr George scoffs and walked inside. Lucy and Luke also follow behind.
As soon as Lauren saw them. The smile on her face disappeared.
“Hi, Lauren…
Lucy made a fake smile at her.
Mr George looked at everyone including Alex.
“So , you guys hired a bodyguard because of what?
That was the first words he said as soon as he came in
“No… We didn’t.
We are also surprised someone sent bodyguard to watch over us”
Hannah replied.
“You must be Mr George, the man who sent…
She quickly kept quiet.
“Am sorry about Ethan…
Mr George said.
Lauren looked at Hannah and back to Mr George.
“Well, Ethan is fine… He is taking some rest at all”
She also said.
Mr George and Luke looked at each other.
“Ethan has been sent to prison, did no one knows?”
Lucy thought.
Lauren noticed the strange look the three of them puts on.
TBC…

Awkward moments
Ethan is truly in prison π’π’
