Story - The Changed Season 1 - Episode 3.

11pm
Angela was feeling sleepy. Apart from the big plasma
making a faint noise, everywhere else is quiet. She
lazily dropped the mag and walked into her room.
Getting in, she noticed the bathroom door open
again. No, she locked it. She remembered vividly, she
locked it. Getting closer, the tissue paper has been
displaced again. The shower is still running in
droplets. It is strange. Who came here? She stupidly
picked her hair brush as a tool just incase and
started ransacking the room. She saw nothing. She
dropped the brush and picked up her hand mirror to
view her face. She didn't feel comfortable going into
the bathroom anymore. She stared into the mirror
and what she saw shocked her to the marrow. Before
she could think of screaming, she was grabbed from
behind with a hand of her napper firmly placed on
her mouth. He injected her and she passed out.
John was driving too fast and too furious. He just
didn't know that for every Bryan, there's a Torreto.
While in his Camry 2.2 running 180km/hr, he
couldn't see the Tundra coming too close. He wanted
to take a bend to his right when the tundra ran into
him. He tried to dodge but it was too late. His
attempt to do so helped though in reducing the
damages done. He swerved and he lost control
thereby leaving the car spinning. He managed to
jump out before it hit a nearby electric pole. All
evidence of him drunk disappeared and his eyes
became clearer. He was amazed at how he managed
to jump from the car, he would make a good Actor he
thought foolishly. There was no single atom of doubt
that John is a woman beater and he uses his
influence and police when dealing with others of his
gender. The real reason behind his jump was the
adrenaline rush coupled with the fear of death.

The rider of the tundra isn't done yet, and while John
was busy praising himself, the tundra had turned
and was aiming to damage more than the car. John
turned and saw the vehicle coming towards him. He
started running, feeling too shocked to scream. He
looked bluntly foolish, one, for thinking he could
outrun a vehicle, two, for being too afraid to scream.
He fell down, and the car stopped just in front of him.
The occup@nts came down, four in number, all
dressed in black suits and looking like club bouncers.
They lifted him up weightlessly and threw him inside
the car while he screamed. One of the men punched
him and he passed out.
7am
Mr Samuel was sitting in his sitting room watching
the early morning news and sipping hot tea. He
called the cook, and asked her if Angela's still
sleeping. When the cook told him she hasn't seen her
all morning, he sent the cook to check on Angela.
The cook got to Angela's room and saw the door
locked.
"Ella" she called. She calling and when she wasn't
getting any answer, she b@nged on the door. Still no
reply, she called Mr Samuel who hurriedly rushed
into his room to collect a spare key. He opened the
door and it was empty. He checked the toilet and it
was still empty. Then he proceeded to open the
bathroom. He saw blood everywhere. The cook
behind him screamed and dashed out of the house.

The noise alerted the security at the gate as they ran
in with a speed equivalent to that of light's. They too
was shocked. Mr Samuel stood with his gazed fixed
on the sight in front of him.
Just then, a call came in.
"Hello…….what's there?……alright, let me check it"
He raced out of the room followed by his security and
headed for the sitting room. He saw his son's car
damaged beyond recognition and had it not been his
name on the plate number, he wouldn't have been
able to recognize it.
The two security men looked at each other then at
their boss who looked just as confused as them.
Where do we start from? Where's Angela? Was the
questions on their minds.
Mr Samuel picked up his phone and called the police.
_________________________________________________________
Inspector Edogho Ekemena was sitting outside the
police station when Mr Samuel's call came him. He
smiled when he saw the call because he's about to
get the action that he so much craved for. After
dropping the call, he lit a stick of cigarette and told
his assistant to go get two men. Double E as he was
popularly called, is 5'9 and dark in complexion. He's
notoriously known for his fearlessness and has been
hospitalized twice after sustaining bullets wounds on
both occasions. As soon as his men arrived, they got
into one more f their vans and drove off with the
alarm blazing.
Mr Samuel left the guards to take control of the
situation while he checked on his son's situation. On
getting to the scene of the accident, which some
police officers had claimed to have contained, he saw
the level of disorderliness and was forced to reach
out to higher authority. Being a man with affluence,
his son's case was handled by the commissioner
himself.

Double E got to Mr Samuel's house and inspected the
suspected murder scene. He needs a suspect and
everyone including the guards is one. He saw the
blood, his instincts came alive. This blood didn't look
like it came directly from the owner, it looked like it
was poured, he thought deeply. He told his men to
take the occup@nts of the house to the station,
saying he would join them shortly. On a second
thought, he said
"I'll bring the guards myself" smiling wryly.
He took both of them to the sitting room and said
"This isn't part of the investigation, trust me, its
been long since I shot at anybody and my fingers are
itching badly" he brought out a 9mm and took it off
safety.
He saw the look on the guards faces and he knew
they were unperturbed by his words and actions.
They were professionals, why should they be? He
continued
"Tell me all you know and please, now I'm begging
you, hide nothing because this could be the last day
to get yourself out of this mess"
The first guard, who was apparently the eldest and
senior officer among them cleared his throat and said

"Sir, last night I and my colleague here, was at the
gate and taking turns to patrol around. Even the
security camera couldn't pick a thing. What I'm
saying in essence the is that whoever kidnapped
Angela, because I believe she is still alive, did it from
inside. Like you sir, we are professionals and we
understand our situation if this case isn't solved and
the culprit or culprits as the case maybe nailed. We
will do our best to help you sir."
Double E seems satisfied with the answer so he
asked them to go wait for him at the station and take
the surveillance tapes along with them. He watched
them leave and he toured the wh0l£ building using a
master key on each lock. He checked every nook and
cranny and called the forensics team to check out the
scene but leave it unclean. He called his assistant
and told him to leave no stone unturned in getting
information out of the occup@nts of the house but
should desist from using force. His phone rang and it
was the commissioner of police ordering him to
check out John's case.

"Mm" he sighed "its gonna be a busy next couple of
days" and walked out.
Mr Samuel was quiet all through the time he spent
with the state commissioner of police. Just then he
was called that his attention might be needed at the
station. The Commissioner and 2 police vans loaded
with cops escorted him there.
Double E rushed to the scene of the accident. Its
worse than he had pictured. His assistant came and
relayed the situation to him.
"Don't you smell anything?" He asked his assistant
"Yes sir but I can't fathom what it is"
"The same person who had Angela also took John.
The connection is visible and the culprit wants give
us a hard time. I'm thinking it's somehow connected
to the father"
"Why'd you say so Sir?"
Double E was infuriated. "You mean after years in the
force you still think with your ass!?" He walked away
mumbling to himself and leaving his assistant lost of
words.
He went to the station and called the occupants one
by one, starting with the cook.
