Just by mistake

SCENE SIX

-----------///-----------

Inspector: This case is none that i have come across.Despite all my years of experience, this case is kinda a hard nut to crack.(he says talking to Mary, her parents, and Mr John).I called you all here to assist in bringing those hoodlums out there, to justice.Whether we like it or not, the culprit or culprits..are out there, roaming around freely.But not for long.Thats why all of you seated here, has to put efforts to make sure that THEY are sent to jail.Justice, must always prevail.

Mr and Mrs Mary, if not for anyone, but for your daughter.( Then he looks at Mary) If not for anyone, but for the sake of other children who may have been victim of this.( Then he looks at Mr John( If not for anyone, but for justice.To keep the promise of maintaining peace, and order...in the society.

Later that day, Mary uses the rest room in the station.Then she overhears Mr John speaking to someone on the phone.

Mr John: I don't think i can keep up with this act sir.

The Boss: You better do what your asked to do.Or your father, bears the consequences.(Says, looking at his father's picture ).

Mr John: ( Talking within himself) When this is over, I'll make sure you pay dearly.Then he walks out.

Mary was a bit shocked when she over heard the voice of who Mr John was communicating with.The voice was quite familiar .She has heard the person's voice somewhere before, but she couldn't identify who's voice it was. She quickly hides when she hears Mr John coming.

Mr John: Thought i heard something.( Then he leaves).

Mary's Mom called......

Mary's Mom: Maryyyyy( she yells her name).

Mary:Yes mummy!

Mary's Mom: Where have you been?I don't want to look for you again ooooooooooh.We've gone through enough.We don't need more stress.

Mary: Mom?

Mary's Mom: Yes.

Mary: ( Wants to tell her mom what she heard but quickly restrains).Never mind mom.

Mary's Mom: Okay.

Mary was afraid that her mom wasn't gonna believe her, so, she decides to investigate the matter all by her self.

While at home...

Mr Daniel: Am really stressed out about this whole situation.If you hadn't allowed this small rat to go out that day, all of this wouldn't have happened.

Mary's Mom: Don't call her names.I won't permit that Daniel.

Mr Daniel: You always support this foolish daughter of yours.

Mary's Mom: O' stop it.When last were you even around to look after our daughter.You always feel the whole training has to come from me, forgetting that your equally responsible for anything that has happened.( She says yelling).

Mr Daniel: Oooh, shut up woman!

Mary's Mom: Don't tell me to shut up.Dont forget that i am the one who put you in the position your in.I gave you this business, gave you this flashy cars your driving, gave you this house.

What haven't i done....

Mary quickly interrupts..

Mary: Mom, Dad, enough!

Mary's Mom: Go to your room dear.

Mr Daniel: You better do what your Mom asked you to do or....( Gets interrupted by Mary's Mom)

Mary's Mom: Or else what?

Mary quickly recalls hearing the voice of the man Mr John was talking to.

Then, she quickly goes to her room, in the pretence that she's crying.

Mary: Wasn't that the voice of the man Mr John was talking to.

Or,...am i over thinking this.

Mary's mom comes in.

Mary's Mom: Hope you aren't worried about the stunt your father pulled back there.

Mary : No.Mom, can i ask you something?

Mary's Mom: Sure my dear, you can ask me anything.

Mary: What if the boss.. .(She paused a bit, looking at the reaction on her mom's face )What if the boss turn's out to be dad.

Mary's Mom: ( Laughs).I think what happened have affect.... affected your medula oblagata, just go and sleep okay, good night.

Meanwhile, Mr Daniel was ease dropping on their conversation.

Mr Daniel: I thought she was smart, but i never knew she was this clever.No, no, it can't be this easy.

He immediately leaves the house . While leaving, Mary's Mom accidentally bumps into him.

Mary's Mom: Where are you rushing off to in a hurry.And by this hour.Or are you too blind to see that it's too late.Last time, you kept blaming me that i allowed Mary go out.And now your busy sneaking off to a place that i don't know.

Mr Daniel: Why are you like this Woman.You just keep throwing questions at me.How do you want me to answer all this questions.

Mary's Mom: I don't care how you answer them, but all i want from you is an explanation.

Mr Daniel: Then an explanation is what you get.My friend in the office...( Gets interrupted by Her).

Mary's Mom: What friend?No friend can call you at this time to meet them.Only if they are as ridiculous and foolish as you.

Mr Daniel: Don't you dare speak ill of my friend.You know sometimes, i wonder how we met, or how we even got married.Your so pathetic.

Mary's Mom: Your the pathetic one here.Infact, your so dump that you can't even understand the simple hand writing on the wall.

Mr Daniel: Ooh my, why must this my foolish wife bump into me while am on my way to somewhere very important.( He says, in his mind).

Mary's Mom: Hello, am i too small now?

You've just been murmuring words.Am not sure your going to see your friend.Maybe is one of those your side chicks.

Mr Daniel: It's no need talking to you.Your brain is too little for you to understand anything.Your brain is very rusty woman.

Then he stumps out.

Meanwhile, Mary's Mom was busy buying her daughter time to follow him to where ever he was going.

Mr Daniel drives out speedly with his car.Mary boards a taxi following him.

Then, Mr Daniel goes into a thick bush, deep down in a forest.

Mary accompanies him without his awareness.Later on, he sees a car following him using the front mirror.

Mr Daniel: Are my eyes deceiving me?

That car has constantly been following me.Okay, i think I'll go left.

Then he goes left.The car still goes left.

He goes right, the taxi did the same.But luckily for Mary, the taxi driver found out that Mr Daniel was getting suspicious of him.Then he decides to go another way different from Mr Daniel's.

Mr Daniel: That's weird.I went left, but this time, the taxi went right.Maybe, am just over thinking this whole thing.

Then he parks his car close to a tree.Since they were a lot of grasses, he marks the place X.

But Mary told the taxi to park at the road side.

Mary: Please sir, stay right here and don't let anyone see you.

Before going in, she calls her Mom.

Mary: Mom, you wouldn't believe where i saw Daddy going to.( She begins to narrate everything that has happened).

While speaking to her mom, some one comes behind her and hit her with an iron, on her head.

Mary: Oooow( She shouts then fainted).

Then, they bring her to a room.

Mr Daniel: This girl thinks she's clever.So, she obviously think, she could keep a track on me.There's a popular saying that...."When a boy go in search of what killed his father...What killed his father will also kill him.You can never be faster than your shadows Mary.......I wouldn't be doing this, if....I was your real father.( He says while looking up, giving a flash back to what has transpired between him and Mary's Mom.Back when Mr Daniel and Ochanya were youths.......

Mr Daniel: (Knocks on Ochanya's door.

When she opens it, he rudely barges in).

Ochanya: I thought i told you not to come here again.What if the Neighbor's get suspicious.For goodness sake, my husband just left the house, and he would be back any time from now.

Mr Daniel: Who cares.After what happened last month between us....

All i can think of is you Ochanya( He says while holding her hands).

Ochanya: Don't even dare...(She says as she removes his hands from her shoulder.I thought i told you that all that happened between us, wasn't intentional.For goodness sake, i was drunk, and so we're you.

Mr Daniel: But i can still remember everything vividly.

Ochanya: That's none of my business, all i know is that you leave.

While they were talking, Ochanya's husband, Peter comes in.

Peter: I can't believe my ears, or are my eyes deceiving me?What are you doing here Daniel?I overheard all what you two were discussing.Thanks to Mama Rejoice that told me you constantly come here, to check up on my wife.

So tell me, what wasn't intentional.?

Ochanya: Honey is not what you to think.(Placing her hands on his shoulder ).

Mr Peter: Is not what Ochanya?(Removing her hands).

No, no, tell me.It's not what i think?

okay, let's assume is not what i think..Mama Rejoice ( He calls her).

Mama Rejoice: Yesss...( She quickly comes out from her hiding place).

Mama Ochanya: So you've been ease droping on our conversation right?

You jobless woman..

Mr Peter: Don't even think of insulting her Ochanya!( He says in a hash tune). If not for her, i would have been kept in the dark of all what has been happening between you two misraff.I never knew i married a harlot as a wife..

Ochanya: Oooh stop it!..We both know the Genesis of our relationship.For goodness sake, the age bracket is too much.You are 20 years older than me .

All i wanted was a young blood.A young man of my age...( She quickly gets interrupted by Mama Rejoice).

Mama Rejoice: What a shameless, disgusting, and a despicable woman you are..

Mr Daniel: Don't Talk to my woman like that( He says while slamming her head at the door).

She immediately falls down with blood rushing out from her head.

Mr Peter: Shouts(With his mouth opened wide). I'll make sure your put behind bars.Just watch as i expose you and your so called girl friend.( He says trying to leave for the door).

Mr Daniel also slamms his head at the door, and he falls down breaking his head on the tiles.

Ochanya: Daniel, look what you've done.And you don't even feel worried about this.The police are gonna come investigating this matter very soon.

Mr Daniel: For goodness sake, can you keep quiet let me think...Yes, yes... let's follow the back door, take their corpse and dump it at a lonely area.That way, no one will know what happened to them.

Ochanya: Are you out of your senses?Or have you lost it?

Mr Daniel: Is either that or we'll be behind bars for the rest of our lives.

Ochanya: Why did you have to hit their heads ( She reduces her voice), why did you have to hit their heads on the wall? I mean, what's the need.We could have just talked them out of this.Convincing them that we are nothing but friends.

Mr Daniel: That alone wouldn't shut their mouths.Sometimes, you behave so naive.

Ochanya: Okay, okay, so what are we to do now?I mean, something has to be done urgently.

Mr Daniel:That's why i have asked that you follow my plans.Chillax... ( He says putting his hands on her cheeks).I got this.Just help me take them up.

Mr Daniel and Ochanya takes them to a lonely arena, where their bodies were later found by passers by.Ochanya later got pregnant for Mr Peter.So, she gets married to Mr Daniel, so her child could have a father.Since her real father, was dead.

Mr Daniel: I can still remember that incident like it was yesterday...

( He says after he had thought of all what that has happened).

Mr Daniel: Make sure you tie her properly.She shouldn't escape...The stubborn fly, follows the corpse to the grave.

After some hours, Mary then wakes up.

Mary: Where am i?.How did i get here?

The last thing i can remember, was that, i was speaking to my Mom on phone.Then suddenly, i, i,Owww( She shouts as she could hardly recall anything that happened).

Then Mr Daniel comes in...., wearing a mask.

Mr Daniel ( The Boss ): A child that says his mother wouldn't sleep, won't sleep either.

Mary: Show your face...I know you're the one Dad.Daddy why are you doing all this.And Daddy, who are all this innocent people caged in here.Daddy what did they do to you? Okay, okay, if not them, what did i do to you?.For goodness sake, am your daughter.Your only eye.Your flesh and blood...

Mr Daniel: Oh shut your trap hole! . Shut that thing you call a mouth.

Mary: Daddy, there's a saying that you cannot beat a child, and tell him not to cry....

Mr Daniel: Am not your father.You don't know me, who i am, or what i came for.

Mary: Okay, okay, then I'll refer to you as the boss....Since, your not my father.As you have said.But let me ask you a question.What will you gain by doing all of this? What's your motive?.

For goodness sake, innocent people have died....m( She paused as tears rolled down her cheeks)..My friend Alice who used to blindly work for you, is dead now and more people are dieing.Their going to loose their lives, if you continue this wicked act of yours.Am sick and tired of this whole game....( Quickly gets interrupted by The boss)..

Mr Daniel: This is not..a game.To you it may be, but to me...It isn't.Infact, am just getting started...

Mary: Who hurt you?.Or do you derive joy in hurting others? Do you feel happy when others are sad.Laugh when others cry..... Okay, okay, ( She says cleaning her tears ).What are you gonna do with all this innocent kids, men, and women?...

Mr Daniel: What i do to every other person that step on my foot....I don't need to tell you... Instead, why don't i show you..

Then he takes her to a factory.A baby factory where other various activities are carried out...

There, she sees pregnant women.When they deliver their babies.It gets sold out for money..Then she see kids who were given out into slavery.As if that wasn't enough...She sees people who packages human head to be sold out..The worst of them all made her cryyy .

Mary: What are they gonna do to that kid....?

Mr Daniel: Why don't we watch ...and see.( He laughs while taking a chair to sit and Eating popcorn.

A man puts a baby in a molter and uses a pistol to pound the baby.A baby girl.. After that, the man takes out some of her private parts, the blood and carefully gives it to next person who drew the remaining out...

Mary: Ahhhh( Shouts in pain and anguish... ) I don't want to see more.. ....I don't think i can eat...or sleep after what i have seen, today...

Well done " the boss", ( in a sarcastic tune)..You just won an award for the most disgusting and wicked man that ever existed ...

Mr Daniel: Or shut up....You just saw this little thing and your already reacting in this way....What if you saw when we took out their brains...( Then he laughs mischieviously )..

Mary: ( Spits at him...)..I can't even explain how disgusted i am at you.I dont think a woman gave birth to you.I don't even think, your a human being.. Because a human being will have at least, sympathy for people.Am so disgusted seeing you.Just watch as i expose you immediately i get out of here.Am gonna remove that masks,.am gonna ( She says making a raucous noice).

Then Mr Daniel ( the boss ), calls one of his men, to take her back to an empty room, and tie her up, so she wouldn't excape..

Mr Daniel: Make sure she never sees day light for spiting at me...I mean, i am the boss.No one can defeat me, not to talk of challenging me.( He says bragging out loud ). She's becoming too obstrepmious for me.Lets show her what we do to people who meddles in my affairs.Then they use a hankerchief filled with sleeping medicine.Mary immediately becomes unconscious once more.
