Anita’s Voice: Behind the Headlines

Chapter 3: The Incident.

That wasn’t what she expected. For some reasons unknown to her, she hated the idea of Andre being by her side.

“How did it go?” Kate rushed to her after she came out.

“It went well! I will resume tomorrow.”

“Yaaaaa and that’s how it should be Queen.”

As they spoke, Andre walked out and stood behind Anita.

Kate froze.

How could someone be so handsome? She thought.

“Hey!” Andre then said, stretching his hand towards the girls.

“Hi!” Kate responded immediately.

Anita then walked out.

“Where are you going?… Wait!” Kate was surprised as she followed behind.

The next day, Anita resumed. On entering the office door, what greeted her sight was Andre’s handsome face.

“Good morning!”

Looking at his face, Anita didn’t know if she should respond or not. There was something about his appearance that she didn’t like.

“Good morning dear, there’s an incident occurring at the kids park, it’s the closest one to this company. Hurry and go there! Be careful.” madam cross said as she walked towards the couple.

“yes ma’am!” they said in duo as they picked up the equipments and left.

Not too long after, they got to the kids park and was shocked to see the incident that was going on there.

“Can we really do this?” Andre said, being scared for Anita.

Pissed, “Be quiet, just follow me.”

Walking slowly, they walked into the building, and headed to the security building as they watched.

The whole kids that came to have fun where on the floor with their parents as they were being harassed. Even the staffs working in the park was not spared. They all laid on the floor as they did anything that was asked of them.

“What do you have on you? Bring it out!” one of the robbers said to a woman who was heavily pregnant.

“Sir, I have nothing on me. The little I had, I gave it to the staffs in exchange for my son to have fun. Please spare me! I have nothing o…..”

PAK!

Before she would complete her statement, the robber raised his hand and gave her a hard slap.

The kids all over were crying but despite that, the robbers didn’t think it was important to leave them.

The little boy whose mother was slapped was still in shock. He couldn’t believe that someone would do that to his mom.

“Sir, how could you do that? She’s my mother.” he said tearfully.

“Hey, will you shut up or should I blow off your mother’s head.” another said, threatening with a gun.

“I’ll keep quiet but please don’t do anything to my mother, she’s my mother please.” he answered crying out loud.

The woman held her son with one hand as she weeped, holding her protruding belly with her other hand.

Anita felt like she was going to faint when she watched the scene in front of her. This scene reminded her of so many things.

There’s no way these criminals was going to get away with this.

Andre too felt bad about what he saw. “What the fuck!” He said in his breath. Bringing out his phone, he dialed the police number. They should have been notified before then though. He was sure they were already on their way.

“How are you?” He turned to Anita as he asked.

“Seems like you love trouble. Well, I don’t.”

Andre: “…”

Could someone please tell him what was going on?

Soon, sirens could be heard all over as the police blocked all the exits. There was no place to run away from.

The robbers didn’t expect it, they had not expect the police to show up so soon, even as they had been trying to take everything before leaving.

The police officers came out immediately, as they unleashed their bullets.

“Bring up the camera! Fast!” Anita shouted at Andre.

“Sure ma’am!” Andre responded, raising his camera to capture every single thing.

Oh my gosh!

Anita could not believe her eyes.

More police cars came to the venue. They didn’t stop blowing their horns.

Each of them rushed in holding a gun, except Officer Thomas, who held two guns at the same time.

The zeal to destroy those criminals once and for all were written all over his as he rushed in.

When Anita saw him, she froze.

Who was this man? She thought.

His demeanor and aura was so scary as he was in action.

“are you capturing it?” she turned to Andre as he held the camera.

“yes!” Andre then said, lifting his camera higher.

Thomas ran into the room fearlessly holding his guns. He looked ready to terminate anyone.

Heading in, he pulled the trigger, sweeping almost all the thugs off from the surface of the earth within minutes.

It was remaining one thug. They choose to leave him, taking him straight to the station.

“You all should leave now.” He shouted.

Everyone stood up terrified. Some police officers assisted them as they made their way out of the palace.

The moment everything was over, officer Thomas was about to leave when his smart eyes caught with Anita.

Anita didn’t expect him to see her. She looked at him back, so they stared at each other for sometime.

Anita looked like she was so proud of him as she headed to him.

“Sir, can I ask a few questions?” she said, trying to take permission.

Thomas was up and ready, so seeing this, he nodded at the camera.

Anita then brought out her microphone as she started.

“Sir, please introduce yourself.”

“I’m Thomas by name, an officer of the law.”

“Sir, what do you have to say about the incident that just occurred?”

“I’ll say it was unexpected, but regardless, we the corps are up and running.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

While the questions and answers were going on? Andre was sure to capture every moment.

Looking at officer Thomas through the camera, his countenance changed. For some reasons, he just didn’t like Thomas.
