CHAPTER 19

SPARK'S POV

Spark drives into the adopter husband's Garage, he had to come here urgently, if not, he wasn't going to get a chance with him again

As Spark gets closer to his door, Mr John comes out locking his front door, He walks fast towards him, approaching John, he could see that he was clearly an elderly man, with white hairs on his head but he's aging fine, obviously because of the money.

"Mr John, I am Mr Spark from Legacy firm".

Spark says as he brings out his hand for a handshake, while his other hand holding his suitcase.

"I know who you are". John says briefly, as he shooks his hands into Spark

Spark was taken aback, it seems John could see the expression on his face, He quickly added " You are quite popular, I remember you solving the kidnapped girl case, right?".

That must not where John knew him from,

Spark could tell John knew why he was here

Spark thinks, " I don't know if you've gat time, I just want to get some information from you".

John squints his eyes,as he adjusts his glasses "What's this about?, Am in a hurry as he leads Spark to their Veranda.

Spark clears his throat as he speaks " It about your wife" As he sits on the iron chair " I meant your Ex Wife".

"What about her?". John inquires as he sits Suspiciously.

"This is about where She currently moved to, and about the daughter y'all adopted Eighteen years ago".

John places his hands on the table in-between the chair, as he looks into Spark eyes man to man

" I can't say anything on that case, the Judge refused me from seeing her and my child again Twelve years ago, So unfortunately there's really nothing I can say about that".

Spark goes closer to him, looking him in the same manner which John did "Are you sure, you know nothing about this case". Spark pauses before he said the next thing which he knew would make John consider.

" Or you want the police involved in your Money laundering business".

John was shocked, he takes off his glasses " Ah, I never expected nothing less from you".

" Neither did I, from your end" Spark swallows hard. All the years he has been on this case, he had done his underground work thoroughly. There was nothing that was holding him back now.

"I can see, all your years of being on this case has not been fruitless". John says, looks at Spark once more " I'll tell you what I know on this case , not because of the threat, but because I have nothing to lose".

"So let's get into it then". Spark waiting for his response, this was the moment he had been waiting for.

"I have always been a good Father to that baby girl, I love her more than life itself, and the Mother, she was and is still everything to me." John says as he gets emotional.

Spark knew he was lying through his teeth, he could sense the Crap. "Mr John, can you cut the crap, and get back to my question".

John looks at Spark with anger in his eyes "You have to be careful, you don't want to chew more than you can bite, Mr Spark".

Spark chuckles, " Your threats are all empty, you know what, Let me show you something that belongs to you, to let you know I mean business here". Spark opens his suitcase and brings out a copy containing pictured of contraband drugs from his Agency and hands it over to John

John looks through the copy handed over to him and he shreds the copy

"Now, you know I mean business here, if you don't give me something on this". Spark laughs in his face.

"I need my Lawyer, you can't just come to my home, and coerce me into this". John rages as he speaks.

Spark stops laughing as he speaks. "Coming from someone who just threatened me". John still looking at him with rage as Spark speaks

" And trust me when I say this, Your Lawyer can't and wouldn't be able to rescue you from this, I have Witnesses, People who are willing to speak on this".

Spark Continues as he speaks " The last time you went to court, You escaped Jail, this time, You're doing Life in there and you know with my history, I mean everything I say ".

John still raging, " I'm calling my Lawyer, right now, I don't have to say a word".

Spark laughs again "I will be taking my leave, so as to not embarrass yourself and I really don't want to stress myself"

Spark speaks sternly as he passes his phone number to him "Here's my Phone Number, If I don't get a call or message from you, trust me you will be hearing from the court soon".

Spark stands up about to leave as he walks closer to John "And if anything happens to me, Just know my firm will be taking it from where I stop, We don't play".

He drops the Paper of his phone number on the table, Smiling as he leaves while John's mouth opens wide in surprise.

Spark could tell he was going to get a Call or Message from John, Sooner or Later.

On his way home, listening to 99.3FM, he gets a message from an unknown number

"Let's dead this matter between us, it doesn't have to escalate, Promise me, not a word goes on about my business".

Spark smiles as he types back " Nobody will, as long as I get the Info I inquire of".

Immediately he gets a response "I hear she's somewhere in Nigeria, but I don't know where".

Spark could tell John was yelling the truth, he places his phone on the Car seat.

" What!!!" He exclaims loudly, "That woman is damn Smart, she came down here, Where nobody would even suspect a thing".

He had to tell Dave, On second thought, he has to look for her first, have a conversation first, before letting Dave know anything on it..

A smile spread across his face, He knew this case was coming to an end.
