Chapter 5 - The Wilsons

After making call to his Dad David made a call to the cops, and gave them his phone's tracking ID. He paid for the calls and took his leave, he was waiting for a can not knowing that the only vehicle available is a bike.

After standing for about the hours, his senses were restored to him. as it is by Dad time that he noticed most people climbing bikes and paying. he approached one of them and asked, is it possible for you to take me to a specific location?

As long as you have money to pay for it the bikeman retorted. ohk David replied as he gave the written location to the bikeman, "one thousand five hundred" the bikeman said casually, I don't get David answered almost immediately.

It's the price for the location I am taking you to, the bikeman explained. David just paid and climbed the bike effortlessly, while moving the driver asked, you seem not to know the place you are going to.

Yes David replied, I don't think it's a place you can live, the bikeman commented. David thought the bikeman was saying because he looked shabby after his six hours journey.

He thought the driver saw him as someone not financially stable enough to live in that specific location. as the saying goes the way you dress, the way you would be addressed.

So David just told the bikeman, take me to the location, wether I can line there or not is not a problem to you. after that, the bikeman quietly drive David to the location not wanting to further annoy his client.

When they arrived, David looked around only seeing a vast land with incomplete structures then some shabby houses around. he was dumbfounded because his Dad told him that his grandfather's house was as big as a palace.

it was labeled boldly "THE WILSONS EMPIRE"

but right now no building on sight was related to his definition so he decided to ask the bikeman before he lost the chance.

Just as the bikeman was about to leave, David suddenly stopped him and asked, please where is the Wilson's mansion that is located here? it's been demolished the bikeman replied, also informing him that the Wilson's family were not residing there anymore.

After thinking fit a while David asked again, do you know any Anglican Church nearby? yes the bikeman replied. take me there David said,

and climbed back on the bike.

it's five hundred Naira the bikeman said smirking, just move was David's reply. the bikeman was extremely excited, because David never negotiate prices. Actually the price for all the journey even to the church was not worth up to a thousand Naira.

The bikeman drove David gently to the Church after which he collected his payment and left, David walked straight in and asked for the pastor's house and was directed there.

Good evening he greeted upon entering the pastor's house evening please sit the pair replied, David sat down facing the pastor. how may I help you the pastor broke the silence.

I want to make inquiries about the Wilson's family and I also need a place to stay tonight as it already late, and I am exhausted traveling throughout the day.

About the second one I can help you, but for the first how do I knew that you are not carrying a bad intention, because there must be a reason that made the Wilson's move out of their house in the first place, and above all they asked me to conceal their whereabouts.

I carry no evil intention David said, I am a grandson to the family, my father was chased out of the family years ago do making a mistake. I just recently found about my grandparents then I came in search of them.

Are you Victor's son the pastor asked somehow elated.... Yes was David's short reply. ohk you can sleep over at my house, I will send you to your grandparents house tomorrow morning.

The pastor then snowed David to a room, you can sleep here he said, David thanked him and he left.
