The very reason I like life is the same reason I hate it. Life is full of decisions which we can not run away from. Infact, some people would prefer not to decide on some issues at times, forgetting that, "the act of not making a decision is a decision itself." Also, we are bond by our decisions in life, which sometimes pays off, and most of the time, it doesn't pay off at all. In life, we are all products of our various decisions, and that is the very reason I feel so unworthy to arrest Ashley. Honestly speaking, I feel like I am the one responsible for all the crimes Ashley has committed, because if not for me who led him down that road, there is every certainty that he would not have gone down that road. Who knows what a bright student like him who have become? No doubt, I have robbed him of his glorious future, and now, it is the same me that is bond to hunt him down. In all fairness, I strongly think it would be nice if I just give up the case file and return it to the D.P.O. How do I even look him in the face to tell him he is under arrest? What offence would I tell him he committed which I myself have not committed? I just have to give up the case, and return file "A" back to the D.P.O.
Agreeing to return the file to the D.P.O is one thing, and proving to the D.P.O why I had to return the file is another. As I walked into the D.P.O's office the following morning, I was welcomed with an ovation before I could even say a single word. "Nice move detective! Your team just gave a report concerning "A", and we now have a lead." The D.P.O said with a smile after clapping his hands. I could not help but fake a smile. "Sir, I…" I tried to say before he interrupted me. "Wada, if we follow this approach, we should be able to bring down these guys in less than one month." I faked yet another smile so as to play along with his praise-singing. "Sir, I would need…" I tried to say again, and he interrupted me the second time saying, "Detective, I know what you need. I know your team needs to be well equipped, and I have contacted the head…" "Sir, I can't continue with the case." I said, interrupting him. He looked at me with a serious look for some seconds, and then laughed; thinking I was joking. But, when he realized I didn't even smile at all, the message was passed home properly. "Why?" The D.P.O asked me. What a question! How do I answer such a question? I'm I suppose to tell the D.P.O I was the one who led the first robbery operation Ashley went for? I'm I suppose to tell him I was the one who encouraged him to kill the innocent man we went to rob, so as to show that Ashley has matured fully? What was I supposed to say? Does the D.P.O expect me to tell him the number of cultists I killed in different cult fights we had back in school? "Wada, why?" The D.P.O shouted, waking me up from my line of thoughts. "Sir, due to some personal reasons." I said, as I asked for the permission to fall out. "Granted !" He said.

We are all products of our decisions, but there are times in life we realize our past decisions are wrong, and unknowingly to us, we make yet another wrong decision so as to correct the previous wrong decisions. Have you ever made a wrong decision before? Then, think twice before you make another wrong decision. Would you say Wada's decision is wrong or brave? Join me tomorrow as I continue this same story on HOW TO CATCH A THIEF.
