Mr Marcus came down to nigeria, he was very angry about the whole incident, Mr and Mrs Marcus went to the police station,they were called by the D.P.O ,they arrived at the police station,they told the police attendant that they were on appointment, they were lead by one of the police man to the D.P.O office, after they exchange greetings they were all sitted.
D.P.O :well I called both of you here because of the new development in the case of your son.
Mr Marcus :i was told this morning that the criminal has been arrested, so I want to see the face of that idiot that wanted to kill my son,where is he.
Mrs ada Marcus :we want to see him first before i will have anything to say
D.P.O :that Is the reason why I called the both of you,yes we arrested the boy this morning but his lawyer came here to bail him,so we granted him bail
Mr and Mrs Marcus was surprise and shocked about what the d.p.o was saying, Mr Marcus got angry
Mr Marcus :what are you saying, that you allow a criminal to go,are you serious
Mrs ada Marcus :this is unbelievable
D. P. O:you have to calm down,i can understand your anger,but you see we had no choice.
Mr Marcus :what are you saying, i mean there are enough evidence already, didn’t his finger print matches with that on the gun,so what more do you need.
D. P.O:but that’s not enough evidence,there was no witness and beside they might turn the story around, this case is not as easy as you think,the people involved are very influential.
Mr Marcus :what an insult, so because they are influential he can’t be brought to book.
D. P.O:yes he can,but it will be a wastage of your income and time,even if we charge the case to court, it will be dismissed, it is a fight you cannot win mr marcus
Mrs ada Marcus :this is serious, so who is his father that is untouchable
D.P.O:am sorry madam i can’t tell you,his identity should not be disclosed at cases like this but he sent a message to you,he said he is very sorry for what his son did that he never supported him in anyway and he promise to deal with him his own way,he knows money cannot heal your son pain but he will have to hold responsibility for your son treatment till his recovering, he will also like to compensate your son with this sum of money.
He brought out a big brown evalop containing money and he put it on the table.
D.P.O:it’s ten million naira,listen i am a father like you and i will know what I will do to any one that try to kill my son but if I was in your shoe now i will think about this offer because if he gave this money right here to any judge he won’t think twice before accepting it,at least think about this, your son can do something better with this kind of money, you should drop the case and let this pass.
Mrs and Mrs Marcus didn’t know what to do or say ,they both thought about the offer and later accepted,they left the d.p.o office and went to see maxwell in the hospital, they told him everything that happened, maxwell was not happy that chidi was set free but he was till glad that at least all this brought him both money and the woman he loves.

Mrs Jonathan looked at Mr Jonathan
Mrs Jonathan :please darling forgive him,can’t you see he is really sorry

Chidi :i promise dad i will do the right thing and make you proud
Then they hug,they all went outside and chidi left to the airport, it was a goodbye to everything he ever knows,he will miss everyone mostly amara.
