Must Read: Cyber lover - Season 1 - Episode 63

“Are you trying to say that he already had
police protection?” asked Jane. “Maybe. I
don‟t understand what is happening to
our peaceful Lupe o.” “Perhaps both men
belong to a cult and have offended some
divine spirit,” suggested another worker.

Jane couldn‟t take it anymore. She was
now very positive that Cain was the killer,
but couldn‟t tell if Brenda was involved
or not. What has Brenda‟s short seizures
got to do with these deaths? Again, what
was Brenda not telling her? She quickly
left the office and went to call Brenda on
a public phone booth. As she headed for
the phone booth, she deliberated within
herself weather she should call the cops
and let them know what she knew. She
got to the phone booth and dialed
Brenda‟s number. “Hello,” Brenda
answered in a tired voice. “It‟s Jane.
Have you heard the news in town?” “What
news?” Brenda asked. She was almost
certain that it was going to be about
somebody‟s death given the panic in
Jane‟s voice. “Adam has also been
murdered.” There was a long silence from
the other end. “Brenda, are you there?”
“Yes.” Brenda replied in a wobbly voice.

“Oh Brenda, I am confused.
Shouldn‟t we call the cops and tell them
what we know?” “I will go to the café
straight away. Let me speak to Cain and
find out what he knows. After that, we
can decide on what next to do. Going to
the cops with the little we know might
make us sound ridiculous.” “Don‟t tell me
you‟re serious!” Jane was shouting. “After
all that had happened, you still think we
can contain this. Brenda, don‟t tell me
you‟re really going crazy o!”
“I‟m not going crazy, Jane,” earnestly
persuaded her friend. “Look, I‟m scared
too, but going to the cops with what we
know might make us sound stupid!” “Or
sensible!” added Jane, feeling tired of it
all. Was Brad right about her friend? Was
there anything Brenda wasn‟t telling her?”
“I‟m also scared, dear Jane,” Brenda was
saying. “Look, just let me talk to Cain
today. If his answers are not satisfactory,
then we can go to the police.” “I am
scared, Brenda. He must be a monster; he
might even hurt you and everyone around
you. I am terribly scared,” cried Jane. “I
will call you and tell you my discussion
with him once I am through.
Talking to Cain first before we tell
anybody is the best option we have got,
please have that in mind.” “Please be
careful,” Jane said. “I will. Bye.” The line
went dead. Jane tried her best to control
her emotions before getting back into the
office. At this moment, she needed to talk
to Brad more than ever, but how was she
going to do this right now? Their
relationship seemed to have been
weakened by this crisis consuming
everybody. Brad was pulling away from
her. Her workmates were still talking
about the news when one of the Bank
messengers came to inform her that she
had visitors. The messenger told her that
her visitors were three men and she knew
instantly that they were cops. She walked
into the reception to see them. They were
comfortably seated and waiting for her.

If she was surprised by the fact that the
third fellow was white, she did not show
it. “Good morning, sirs. How may I help
you?” “Good morning,” Inspector Jack
replied. He introduced himself, Inspector
Bromsbey and Officer Kennedy, and then
he proceeded with his questioning. “How
well do you know Miss Davis, Miss
Damascus?” he began.
“Well enough,” replied Jane. “She is my
roommate; she is like a sister to me.”
“How long have you known her?” “We got
to know ourselves as fresh students in
Lupe University.” “Then I guess you must
have known about her past three
relationships that didn‟t work out?” “Yes.”
“Are you aware that these three men have
all been mysteriously murdered recently?”
“Yes, inspector. That was terrible. I am
still going through the shock of the news
of Adam‟s demise.” “Are you aware that
the police interrogated Brenda at your
home yesterday?” “Yes. Brenda told me
everything.” “Tell me something, Miss
Davis,” sneaked in Inspector Bromsbey.

“What do you think about these three
killings and what do you know?” Inspector
Jack stared straight into Jane‟s eyes as
his colleague asked this question. “Why
did these three men leave her, Jane?” he
wanted to know. “And why are they all
dead?” “They left her because men are
monsters. She didn‟t deserve what they
put her through. But I don‟t understand
why they are all dying, it‟s so confusing,”
replied Jane. Should she tell them about
Cain? And about Brenda‟s seizures? “Are
you sure you don‟t know what could be
happening to these men?” asked Officer
Kennedy. “No. Should I know why they are
dying?” “You are in the best position to
answer that yourself, Miss. You know
your friend very well.”
“Is Brenda a suspect?” she asked him.

“You think Brenda is a murderer? After
seeing and speaking with her yesterday,
did she look like she was capable of
hurting anyone?” She must admit she
wasn‟t so sure about this anymore, but
she pressed on. “For God‟s sake officer,
Brenda had been through hell trying
to get over these broken relationships and
to think of her as a murderer? That is
ridiculous.‟ Now she turned to Jack.
“Please, Mr. Inspector, don‟t tell me that
you think that Brenda would go ahead to
kill Adam right after chatting with you
yesterday. Wasn‟t she the one that gave
you his address?” Her only desire was
that they should stop questioning her;
she didn‟t want to mistakenly say
something she couldn‟t clearly explain.

“Look, Miss, we have already taken all
you are saying into consideration,”
replied Inspector Bromsbey. “In fact, that
is why we decided to come straight to you
and not to her. We are not saying that
she is guilty of these murders, but you
must really admit that everything points
to her.
That is why we are asking you if there is
anything that you think we should know;
something she may or may not be aware
of. We are trying to uncover three
murders, help us if you can.” He believed
that the best way they could get
information from both Jane and Brenda
was to take it easy with them. Jane
remained silent. She was obviously
confused. Was she hiding something?
Jack thought. Kennedy spoke up. “Please
Miss Damascus, we need you to help us.
People are dying and we don‟t know who
the next victim might be. Let us know
what is going on; help us save lives.”
Jane was in a dilemma. She didn‟t know
if she should tell them about Cain or not.

“Right now, Miss Damascus, the best
move we can make is to arrest Brenda for
proper interrogation,” added Inspector
Jack. “We need the truth, but we thought
it was wiser to take it easy on her.
Honestly, she does not look like a
murderer to me, but that won‟t stop me
from carrying out my duty.” Arrest
Brenda? Jane thought. That would be
very detrimental to her image in her new
workplace. She looked up and her face
displayed more confusion.

“Okay, that‟s it, then,” Jack said half-
heartedly. “Wherever our friend is at the
moment, Miss, I‟m afraid we‟ll have to
arrest her and take her to the station for
further questioning. “ He made a false
attempt to stand up. “I have something to
tell you,” Jane suddenly aired. “What is
it?” The three men had swiftly become
excited. “It is a very strange story – you
may not believe it, but it is the truth.”
“Spill it. With what we have seen recently,
I can believe anything,” eagerly urged
Bromsbey. “It‟s a long tale. Permit me to
inform my co-workers that I will stay out
a little longer than expected. I will be
back as soon as possible.” “No problem,
we will wait.” Jack couldn‟t wait to hear
what she had to say. She left them and
returned ten minutes later. She sat down
and allowed so many thoughts to run
through her mind.

She hoped she was doing the right thing.

The police officers waited. She started
from the beginning. She told them all
about Brenda. She told them how they
met and how she met her boyfriends.
Jane‟s aim was to let them know how
innocent Brenda had always been. Then
she told them about Adam, Michael and
how Cain had come into Brenda‟s life. “I
know you won‟t believe it but that is the
whole truth. I am even wondering how it
could be possible that someone on the
internet could kill people, but right now,
Cain appears the only explanation for
these deaths.” “Wow. It sounds
ridiculous.” Jack didn‟t know what else to
say, even though this proved that Dr.
Ryan‟s far-fetched theory might just be
the lead they‟ve all needed. “But we‟ve
had a theory hinged on such a fantastic
tale as the one you now reveal to us,
Jane.” The Nigerian inspector looked at
Bromsbey and the man from Scotland
Yard nodded in mute agreement to his
knowing stare.
