MISSING PIECE (13)
“…….it has not been easy since then”, Armstrong said, narrating his ordeal to Sunday after been treated to a sumptuous meal from Sunday’s wife.

“When I heard the story, I knew you were innocent. Some of us even went to meet the boss but he told us that if we didn’t mind our business, he’d arrest us as accomplices.”

Armstrong smiled faintly. “At least you tried something, thank you.”

“But still, that doesn’t say you should act this way to show your anger. Going by what you said, your wife did a lot to see out of prison. What you should be doing now is to join hands together with her so everything can be okay again”, Sunday advised.

“How do I do that?”, he asked sadly, “I can’t get a job because of my prison history. No money to even start a business. I can’t provide for my family, Sunday. My wife does it all. I’m so ashamed. I don’t even know how to face them.”

“Of course. Can you imagine the idiot telling me that ‘things are tight’? How is that supposed to be my business?”, Tessy said, fuming, pacing up and down.

She moved close to him. “Come on baby. Don’t tell me you’re jealous.” She kissed him. “He’s still very useful. You know we still have to wait to finish what we started before we leave. When we get what we need from him, we can do away with him.

“As for the sharing, don’t worry. He won’t get anything again”, she said, caressing the hairs on his chest.

“Okay, but you’ll have to compensate me. I was actually expecting something else”, he said smacking his lips.
