Betrayer in disguise episode 19

BETRAYER IN DISGUISE??
Episode 19.

I guess we were supposed to sleep that night, but no it was more than busy for us when we got home.
The cops that were at the madam house quickly left for the station as they waited for the arrival of their colleagues.

"From what I heard, there are 6 deaths from the policemen and 4 from the gangs and there are injured from both sides, the woman told us after making a phone call and we heaved.
"Ma, this is our fault, Peter said.

"Our fault? How is that possible? She asked.
"He was our suspect, we were supposed to take his phone and detain him, but what did we do? Only God knows when he began communicating with them over there, my dad and sister was at risk, Peter said.

"Really? We were not sure and we didn't want to risk it, the woman said.
"All was still a risk, just look at casualties, we are just lucky they were alerted of the police coming late, else it would have been a complete disaster, Peter said.

"Okay at least its easy over, today will be a great day when its daylight, the woman said and I yawned.
"I'm dizzy, I said.

"Its late already, you need to sleep, my mom said
"What about you? I asked her

"No i don't think i will, I have your father on my head now and with everything that has transpired I won't be able to sleep, my mom replied.
"Mom you've been lacking good sleep and rest for days now, please don't break down, I said touching her and she gave a little smile.

"Its fine Joan go sleep, I'll be fine and I'll wake you up in the morning, my mom said and i nodded and left the sitting room with Peter leaving my mom with the madam.
I thought of having a shower but i was too weak for that, and i noticed Peter looking at me.

"What? I asked because i knew he wanted saying something.
"Will you be seeing Favour today? He asked.

"Will she be released? I asked back.
"I don't think so, he replied.

"She didn't kill that man and i think she has suffered and paid for her own crime by staying there, that's okay, I said.
"So you want her released in summary? He asked.

"Yes, I replied.
"Because she's suffering? He asked and scoffed
"And what about you? Didn't you suffer too? We all suffered because of what she did! He shouted.

"No because of what her cousin did and the police have her now, let it all end! I shouted back and laid down to sleep knowing the conversation won't go to anywhere good.............

I heard a tap and sleepily cleaned my eyes sitting up,
"Its morning already? I asked my mom.
"Yes dear and your dad is awake, won't you go see him? She asked and i saw she was already dressed and Peter was awake.

"I don't think she will, she prefers seeing Favour, Peter said when i wanted saying something.
"Favour? Why her? My mom asked.

"You didn't know? She will be transferred to another station today, Peter replied and i quickly stood up taking my tooth brush to clean up.
"Where are you going to? My mom asked.

"To the station, yes i know Favor wronged me but she didn't commit the crime. She was acting under the influence of her cousin who pushed her wrongly, she needs to be released after all they have the murderer, i replied.
"You can't do anything about this, the woman has the only say here, my mom said.

"Then we both have to talk, I said.
"She's not here, my mom said and i hurried up with what i was doing, had a quick bath and left the house ignoring all my mom was saying.

I got to the station and saw it very busy, 2 other cops were handcuffed and i clearly knew what that is without being told.
Knowing my way there it wasn't difficult to meet with the woman talking to the DPO
"Oh Joan, you're here? She asked surprised to see me.
"Yes ma'am i came to see you, i said after greeting them.

"I hope there's no problem? Spoken with your dad yet? She asked.
"Perhaps and ermmm not yet. I'm here because of someone, where's Favour? I asked.

"Oh you want to see her before she will be transferred? She asked.
"No i want her released already. You have who you wanted right? Why is she still there or to be transferred? I asked.

"Joan please don't start this, I'm punishing anyone who had a hand in his death, she replied.
"And she has been punished for more than a month, i guess its enough. Favour may be jealous, a betrayer and a liar, but she was no murderer and i believe she has learnt her lessons. Please ma I'm begging you, do me this favour, i pleaded.

"I can't believe this, after what she did to you? At least let her be punished for that, She said.
"It is not in my place to take revenge ma. If every one should turn evil where will be the good in the land? I'm speaking on her behalf ma irrespective of what she did to me, please let her be freed. Just like me she has a promising life that shouldn't end behind bars, let's try to fix the broken one she has already for the best of humanity. What gain are we having if she remains locked up here? You know that wont bring your husband back, but you have his murderer that should be enough, i said and she shook her head not believing me.

"Why are you doing this? The DPO asked me.
"I believe everyone deserves a second chance and can turn a new leaf if showed love, I replied.

"Not everyone, the woman said.
"You can never tell if you don't try, it wont hurt if we try Favour this once, i said and the woman heaved looking at the DPO.

"Joan don't worry you can go, we will talk about this ourselves, the man said and I nodded.
"Thank you sir, thanks ma, i said to them and left to meet my family in the hospital............

I arrived and saw my dad eating and hugged him,
"Spoken to her? My dad asked and i knew they told him where I'm coming from.
"Yes dad and I hope they do something, the right thing, i replied and he smiled.

"I grew up a passionate daughter who is not blinded by hate and anger, he said and i smiled.
"There's no use for hate when it reduces ones life span, i said.

"Said by who? Peter asked.
'Uhmmm let's say science, i replied Peter and my dad laughed.

"Care to research on it? My mom asked Peter.
"I Rather research more on my engineering, he replied.

"I'm glad its all over now, i can breathe well, my dad said.
"This has been one of the troublesome moments our family has ever recorded, my mom said.

"What's important is we conquered it together, Peter said.
"Yes and I saw two cops handcuffed this morning, i guess the wind is gradually blowing the betrayer ass one by one, I said.

"That's great, I'm leaving here today, i have my business to return to. No time for dull moments anymore, my dad said.

"You mean you're resuming your business? Like in this state? My mom asked.
"Sure, you know how many clients are waiting? My dad asked.

"Daddy! I and Peter shouted.......
