The black boot matched perfectly with the black trousers Dami saw. As she slowly lifted her head, she saw that the person was also putting on a black shirt which was well tucked into the black trousers. The belt by the waist looked very different from the usual leather belt she knew, and as she raised her head, she saw a small pistol by the side of the man. But, she was calm when she eventually saw a cap on his head, and some stripes at the shoulder of his shirt. "Officer" Dami exclamated "Oh thank God." She said, trying to catch her breath as she fell back into his arms. "Oga, she dey here" The policeman shouted, calling Jude's attention to the presence of his wife. Immediately she saw her husband, she ran to him and started crying. "What happened? Where are coming from? Where are the kids?" Jude asked her series of questions almost at the same time. Dami was almost done catching her breath, so she only pointed to Uncle T's house in response to Jude's question. Jude was confused. He could not fathom what the kids were doing in Uncle T's house, because Dami herself restricted them from visiting him all of a sudden. To the best of his knowledge, Dami was trying to help the kids by restraining them from visiting Uncle T, not knowing that she was restricted them from knowing about the affair she had with him. "So, where are you coming from?" Jude asked, getting a little impatient. By then, Dami was calm enough to talk properly. "He kidnapped them, and wants to kill them" She quickly summarized. "What are you saying? Why would he kidnap my children? Why would Tade want to kill my children? Who is he? Who gave him the effrontery..." Jude blasted grammar, but Dami interrupted him when she rushed to the policeman. "Please, save my children. They are in that house. He wants to kill them."She said, hold the policeman's clothes. The policeman looked at Jude as if trying to see if he believed her statement. Jude gave the policeman a nod to show they should go to the house. The policeman radioed his partner who was in the car, as Jude went to hug his wife. "It's OK dear." He said. "I had to stop by at the police station after you spoke to me the other time. I knew something was wrong by the way you spoke." He explained, as they followed the policeman out of the house. Outside the house, the second policeman was waiting by the pick-up they brought. The first policeman explained the situation to the second officer as they both approached Uncle T's house. The second policeman signaled to Dami and her husband to stay where they were. The first policeman knocked the door. "I'm coming" Uncle T's voice answered from inside the house. "Why did you leave before?" Uncle T asked as he opened the door. He actually thought it was Dami who came back. But, on seeing the policemen, he quickly tried to shut the door, but the second policeman used his right leg to block the door before the two policemen over-powered him and the door. "You are under arrest." The second policeman said. "T, who is that?" The lady in the room came out asking. "Hands up" One of the policemen said. She quickly raised her two hands with the speed of light. She was also apprehended, and the two of them were made to sit on the chairs at the centre of the room with their hands well handcuffed behind them. One of the policemen searched the entire house, while the other stayed with Uncle T and his girlfriend. The twins were found in the kitchen with their eyes very red because they have cried their eyes out. The culprits and the victims were led out as the twins ran to meet their parents who were anxiously waiting outside the house. "Officer, I'm not with him. I only came to buy something." Uncle T's girlfriend said, trying to exempt herself. Jude could not believe his eyes. He would not believe it if they had told him that such a skinny Uncle T could do such an evil act. As Uncle T was led out of the house, he looked at Jude from a distance and asked, "Did your wife tell you she is my mother?"
