POLICE STATION
Chester got to the police station and greeted the officers on duty
He decided to visit Theodore, and immediately he left the house he bought for Bonita and Cassie, Chester drove straight to the station
Chester talked briefly with the officer and requested to see Theodore, the police officer led him to the cell where the inmates were kept, Theodore came out of the cell as the police officer opened the metal gate
Chester sat on the chair opposite Theodore
Theodore’s body language announced that he was emotionally drained, something his facial expression didn’t betray, he sighed wearily, his face was expressionless, waiting for Chester to speak up
“Let me just go straight to what brought me here, why did you kill Ryder Wright?” Chester asked
Theodore could see from Chester’s face that he pitied him, even with the way Chester talked, his voice was full of pity
“You don’t have to feel sorry for me,” Theodore uttered forcing a smile
“Ryder contested for the same political position that I wanted, I knew that Ryder would have won the election which would have been the end of my political career, I decided to eliminate him but trust me, I regretted my actions”
Theodore shook his head, he didn’t know that his secrets will one day be exposed to the world, when he least expected, it was even the son of the victim that exposed him
Chester’s solemn gaze roved over Theodore’s face, dissaproval in his hard features, and all the pity he felt for him disappeared

Aleta and Greta walked into the station to check up on Theodore, the police officer asked them to wait, but immediately Aleta saw her husband, she couldn’t wait any longer, she moved towards Theodore and Chester
Aleta fell on Chester’s feet as tears slipped down her cheeks
“Please help me, I’ve lost one of my kids, I don’t want my husband to be jailed, please Chester….. ” Aleta was overwhelmed with emotions, saliva traveled down her windpipe into her respiratory system and trigger choking
Greta ran outside and quickly unlocked her car, she took a bottle of water and rushed inside the station
Aleta drank the water and felt relaxed a little, Greta also knelt down in front of Chester looking pleadingly at him to help her father
She didn’t know how to talk to Chester, not after everything she has done to him, but she gathered up the courage and held Chester’s legs
“My father’s reputation has been tarnished by allegations of murder, he’s already paying for his sins, please Chester I’m sorry for everything I did in the past, help my father,” Greta pleaded to him for cooperation
Chester was completely baffled by their actions, he had no idea of what to do or say to them but thankfully, a Police officer came to his aid as he announced “time up” and took Theodore back to the cell.
