“Please shoot me, shoot me, shoot me” I begged with tears, forcing him to look away once again.

“Seriously madam, this is slowly slipping from me. I have only two options left, which are pretty hard” he said and swallowed hard while I stared at him hopefully, wiping my tears.

“Number one. I play the good cop bad cop tactics on Esther, by secretly getting another audience with her. This time with another officer. We will then present some selling lies and my colleague will ask for money to keep us quiet. Most whites think we are all corrupt. So i feel she will buy my offer, and through that opportunity, I can get her to talk. The only bad side of it, is that if it goes bad, i can be fired from the force. The second option is presenting my facts to your mother inlaw, get her to reveal more details about her white guests to me. I’ll then do what we call profiling, which will enable me get the man who killed your husband. Esther is no fool, she had no time to hire a local hitman. She probably brought the killer along as her brother, cousin or friend. The only bad side of this plan is that it may take more than two days to accomplish which then leaves us with one option which you must do yourself to avoid trial. If I fail to meet up with the deadline” he concluded seriously.

“So what’s the option?” I asked.

“Oh it’s very dangerous. A very dangerous option” he murmured…

“I can do anything to free myself. Please just speak up” I pleaded.

The detective shook his head, bit his lips and stared at me.

“hmmmm, if i’m unable to make any breakthrough within two days, you will have to harm yourself in a way that it will be impossible to put you up for trial. That’s the only way out” he said cautiously.

“Wait a minute, I don’t understand. You mean i should harm myself?, in what way officer?” I asked with disbelief.

He drew closer to me and squatted by my side.

“That’s the only way to escape trial for some days. I can smuggle in some pills that will knock you out. So instead of finding yourself in the courtroom, you will find yourself in the hospital. However it can be added to your charges but i believe your lawyer won’t have a hard time winning over the charge. But you also have to swear to keep your mouth shut if it comes to that. You know i can equally end up in prison over it” he said seriously, while i nodded.

I couldn’t even find the voice to talk. The plan was just so terrible to hear. Of course it was nothing but a sucidal plan. I knew the health implications of such deed, but it was a better option than prison. Seriously the detective was going out of line just to save a clueless lady like me. It wasn’t as if we paid him to help me. He simply was doing it for free.

As if he knew what was going through my mind.

He reached out and held my hands.

“When I joined the force newly, a young male student was picked up by our patrol team some miles away from a Robbery scene. We all knew the boy was innocent but still held him just to prove a point that we were working. Unknown to us, the boy was asthmatic and as soon as he was thrown into the cell, his health condition got very bad and before we could run around, he died. Since that moment, I decided to help the innocent. But you see, in police work it’s not always easy to be on the right path because we all obey orders and answer to our superiors whether we like it or not” He said softly.

“You are a bright young woman but i’m afraid, if I fail to get good results. You will have to take your destiny in your hands. You will have to harm yourself. That’s the only thing that can buy us more time. Yes you will try committing suicide, but I’ll be right on time to save your life.
