DEEP SECRETS Episode 17 . . . 6:20 pm, Bode Thomas Street “Why are you now helping me? Why did you reach out to me after shooting my friends? This is all a set-up, right?” Chucks asked with his right hand resting on his gun. “It is not a set-up. I am in trouble. I need to let someone in on what I know before they take me out. Last week I was sent to kill a man at a nightclub, when I found him, he was already dead. Someone else killed him. The problem now is that my employers think I did and sold the information I was to take from him to another person. I did not, I swear I did not. I am being framed up like your friends were,” Leroy desperately explained. “Do you know who is framing you up?” “I am not certain; the videos have a lot of powerful people who are mad at the moment. However, I would say former president would say former president Billy Sekwa and his daughter.” “Why do you think they are the...

episode 19 Sakira’s POV I was inside the dark room and thought of nothing. I sat on the floor and began to cry. Everything has failed. I’m not going back home what do I do now. I lifted my knee to my chest and hugged it burying my face. There’s no hope anymore, I give up. I could die right now. Dave’s POV I was on the floor and buried my face on my arm. I looked up when I heard the door open. I was angry immediately when I sighted the person that came in. “What do you want” I asked. He kept his hand behind his back and lifted his head. “I’ll give you a chance, leave that black dog and we’ll forget this all happened” Mark said. I was mad at the statement he made and spat at his feet. “To hell with you” I said and he frowned at me. “You’re a big fool” he said. “You’ll regret this. You have made that thing to influence you” he said. I stood up and pushed him and he fell on...

He begins to limp towards the front door. CHRIS Okay, Effe. Good you’re here. Now you’re going to tell me WHY! Nothing else … just WHYYYY!

DEEP SECRETS Episode 16 . . . 07:00 am, Bay Apartments “Who was the lady who came to kill us?” Lizzy asked her husband, Steve. “I still don’t know. I would give a million away to get a grasp of what is happening.” “I don’t believe you, baby. You just don’t have the courage to tell me. First a nude picture of me was sent to you, after that I was kidnapped and made to pose nude with some men. I believe it’s time to tell me the truth. Who loaded my camera with the nude pictures of you and your female friends? Who wants us dead? Please I need answers,” Lizzy demanded. Steve felt boxed in. He knew he was not going to lie his way out of this one.

My father must hear this. “Where did you go?” My father asked as he collected the cup of tea Mary was giving him. “Sakira has escaped” I said. “What!!!” He shouted and I saw how Mary flinched in fear. “And she left with Dave. He helped her, he made a fool out of you” I told him. “Unbelievable” he said as he stood up. “We must act fast. Gather all the men and block the seaport. They won’t have gone far” he said and walked out. Then I looked at Mary who refused to look at me. “You” I said as I walked closer to her. “You had a hand in this didn’t you” I said but she didn’t reply. “Tell me!!!!” I shouted and slapped her. She fell on the floor and looked at me. I...

I could tell he wasn’t feeling fine after all that mark had done. I went closer to him and touched his body and he winced in pain. “I’ll…..be fine” he said as he sat on the bed. I took a bowl and put water in it and soaked a cloth in the water. “Take off your shirt” I told him and he obeyed. I squeezed the cloth and used it to clean all the blood stains on his body. “I’m sorry” I said. “For what” he asked. “I’m the cause of all these that has happened to you” I said.

His tie is loose, and the first two buttons on his white shirt are undone. The laptop is on, and on the desk in front of him is a huge file containing documents that he is perusing.
