CHAPTER 80

An officer ushered us into the hallway leading to the DPO's office.

"I don't like seeing his face seriously!"

I grumbled.

"Who?" Scar asked

"The dpo of course!"

"I don't Like seeing his face either but we need to for now. At least until ken is behind bars where his likes are."

"Some innocent people are there too." I interjected, remembering the movies I used to watch.

"Yeah they are."_ He sighed. "Guilt can be subjective I must say. But don't worry very soon we won't have to see his face again."

I smiled.

We finally got to the office and was let in by the officer who did a salute and walked out.

"Good morning." The DPO greeted, all smiles. He stood up to shake me and his hold lingered far too long to be comfortable.

"Good morning sir." I replied, sounding a bit nervous. I pulled my hand away from his as he took his sit back.

Scar mumbled a greeting that I was sure the DPO didn't hear. He in turn didn't even spare Scar a glance.

"Do you have anything for us? Anything on those guys who tried to burn down my house?" I asked, immediately. Better to get it over and done with. God! I couldn't wait for this to all be over so that I could get on with my normal life.

"The guy that you handed to the police was not a member of the Dragon gang, that I can give Ken a salute for. He is smarter than I thought. The man has no idea about Kens business." The DPO hurriedly informed us.

"So who is he, If he is not a member of the gang?" I asked, my brows up in confusion.

"According to him he and his friends were paid to burn down the house. They were told it was because a rivals parent lived there. The both gangs have been fighting for a merger with White lion. That is the dragon cult and ghost brothers.

"And you believed him?" I was perplexed.

"I checked him out and he is not Lying."

"Does he at Least know where Ken is since he just saw him?" I asked hopefully.

"It was difficult for us to get him to talk but he later started talking after I threatened to put him behind bars. Not just that, but I told him he would be sentenced to life imprisonment for attempted murder if he didn't give us something to work on." The dpo sounded so pleased with himself as if he had been the one that took down Osama.

"So where is he?" I asked, as a matter of urgency.

"He said that all he knew was that ken was in ogwa."

"Then he must be in aunt Lisa's house. Her house is located around that area. I guess you were right Scar, he is Still there" I said, turning to face Scar who was at my side.

Scar smiled back but kept his eyes on the dpo like he had been doing since we entered his office. It was like he was waiting for him to tell a lie.

"We need to go there now. I heard he plans on leaving today but I do not have enough officers. I only have two to spare, they will go with scar, you know we have two watching your family already. That's about the best I can do."

"Ken is not just a danger to me but the town at large, he could have killed a dozen people yesterday with that stupid stunt he played." I said through clenched teeth, almost losing control.

The dpo 's insensitivity and incompetence made me mad.

Ken is a dangerous criminal and the DPO was acting like he was just a common thief Just because I was the victim and not a richer person who could wet their hands.

"That's what I can give_ two officers only."

"But. "

"Its OK Mira, I'm here." Scar interrupted my protest.

"See! your guardian Angel is watching over you, why do you fear. Let's only hope nothing happens to him." The dpo smirked.

Scar took up his words."Is that a threat?" he asked with clenched teeth.

"Why would I threaten you after all you are not the criminal here." The DPO replied. There was a hint of mockery in his voice when he spoke to Scar. I didn't quite like it neither did I find it comfortable.

Scar narrowed his eyes at him, but  didn't say another word.
