THE FIXER - Episode 1 ( An interesting story)

“Grrrrrrr…grrrrrrr” …Victor knew that was his phone vibrating, I did not set any alarm he said to himself as he decided he was not going to answer the phone call, rather he choose to find solace in the fact that the call was a prank call. He turned his head to the other side of the bed away from the vibrating phone. The room was as dark as every shade of black you could imagine, he did not specifically know what the time was but he knew it was in the early hours of the day as the only source of light in the room was from his phone screen, he fought within himself to ignore the call but the persistent vibration made him reconsider, he groaned as he turned his head and decided to finally answer the call.
He weakly picked the phone up to check caller’s identity, but fortunately for him the line went cold, as such he did not waste any time in dropping the phone on the drawer next to his bed, he can at least go back to his sweet sleep as he was really enjoying his rest and he was not ready to sacrifice it for anything right now.
“grrrrrrr….grrrrrr”…the phone vibrated again, his worst fears just became reality “the caller is calling back”. He cussed silently in his mind; he knew the caller has achieved his or her aim of ruining his wonderful sleep.
“Akin!!!” he read out the callers identity with an evidently surprised look on his face, he exhaled deeply and hissed silently. Akin is the last person you would want calling you in the middle of the night, something was definitely wrong as he swiped his thumb across the phone screen to answer the incoming phone call.
“Hello, V”…a shivering voice pierced his ears from the other end.
“Hi, man…why are you calling me this late, don’t tell me you need something I wouldn’t be able to get by this time”...he replied with so much scorn and dissent in his voice.
“Tonye is dead!!!”...Akin dropped the bombshell right away.
Victor sat up immediately on hearing the last statement, the sleep cleared from his weary eyes right away.
“What? When? How did it happen?”...he questioned intently as different thoughts ran through his head as to what could have transpired over the night as he could remember dropping Tonye at Akin’s place the night before.
“I am not level headed to answer your questions right now, can you come over to my place, please man you have to help me out!!!”...you could feel the soberness in his voice as he pleaded with Victor.
“I will be right there, give 30 minutes”, he replied as he quickly disconnected the call.
Victor buried his head between his hands, as he tried to fathom what could have transpired between Akin and Tonye, he knew Akin was hot headed and Tonye had a caustic tongue but the last thing he had envisioned to happen between them was murder, because despite their differences, they loved each other to pieces.
He got up from his bed and headed for the bathroom for a quick “rub n shine”, five minutes after the call, he was good to go. He picked up his car keys and headed over to Akin’s place.
