YELLOW BAG - by Sewuese Adason

Part two Without hesitation, she grabbed him by his hand walked home.A few women followed them behind, asking why shes so calm, but she didn’t give much attention, she only said ‘let my husband come home, then we can continue from there’, then the women whispered within themselves ‘hmmm na wa o, since I know this woman she has never made any decisions on her own, even in situations as serious as this’.She finally got home and met her husband waiting and wondering where everyone had gone, but the look on her face and the tears from dessy’s eyes told him something was wrong.‘What’s going on, and why is dessy crying, where is Mike?’ He asked with a worried look. ‘Dessy explain what happened’, Mrs job said and with a shaky voice he narrated everything without mincing words. In the moment of completing his last word, a heavy slap from his father pushed him to ground ‘you fòòlish boy, why would you take your brother to the market and stop at a game store when you know he is non verbal, how would he explain himself if someone picks him up, and how many times have you been warned not to go there?’ Mr job was very angry, it was 7pm already, by then the smell of the soup had already vanished from the air, nobody was hungry anymore. He picked his phone and called his friend who is a police officer. After explaining the situation, his friend asked him to be patient till the next morning. It felt like waiting eternity, mr job couldn’t sleep, but was amazed how his wife was sound asleep like nothing happened, and after much thinking he drifted asleep. Very early the next morning, he was the first to wake up, he quickly brushed his teeth and dressed up, ‘Linda I don’t expect you to be on the bed by now, you should have dressed up and be ready to head down to the station with me, leave dessy with the neighbor, tell them where we’re going, be fast about it’. She quietly got up and did as he said, prepare a short breakfast for dessy, but he refused to eat, so she gently touched his cheek ‘it’s not fault, you only acted as a child, what ever happened God knows better, we will find him okay’, she kissed his cheek, packed the food and dropped him with their neighbor.It was a quiet drive to the station with her husband, she stared at the road till they got to the station.‘ ahh Ken you’re here, I was just about to call you, I did not expect you to come with madam, I was supposed to call first’, his friend said while stretching his hand for a shake. ‘And why’s that, is there any information?’ Mrs job asked, ‘hmm I guess there’s nothing to hide from both of you since you’ll eventually find out, we found a body and it’s best to come to identify it yourself’.
