OBSESSED
SEASON 2 EPISODE 21

##CHRIS’S POV##

“Gibson?” I called out again to be sure he really is the one in front of me

No wonder he took utmost interest in the SWEET JINGLE FIVE’s case

No wonder he played along

No wonder he offered to stay with Jade even when he had every reason to back off and give her space

“yeah I was in the orphanage too but you did not recognize me immediately we met cus I did recognize you even if it has been ages” he said smiling while he sat on the arm chair close to David who just watched us without spewing anything

“i..i..don’t understand. Like why did you help me? Why did you help Jade? Why didn’t you get mad at us and just leave us alone?” for as much as I could remember, Gibson and I weren’t in good terms during our late stay in the orphanage

“yeah, I know right? I had every reason to leave, every reason to back off especially when Jade had you come into the picture right?”

“yeah” i said and shook my head seconding it.

“you want to know the truth my friend? Like nothing but the truth?”

“yeah.”

“then let’s….” Gibson stopped in mid sentence as he dropped his head down and raised it again “I think you should meet someone” he turned towards the door “please come in”

A lady walked inside and I could swear on my life that I have seen her before… somewhere

“hey Chris” she called out smiling nervously and I could see the shocked expression on David’s face which he quickly wiped away, replacing it with a forced smile. But why?

It was her the lady that helped me get out of the building… the lady that helped Jade out too… the lady that gave us a blueprint… this same lady had a resemblance with someone I knew before

I kept my gaze fixed at her, not minding the fact that I had not said a word to her. I just stared on as an idea hit me!

I took the pictures which were sitting on my body and scanned through, flipping them backwards till I got to the picture which Gibson and I were already grown teenagers

And she was there! She was at the same orphanage! She snapped in the same photo as I and Gibson and the fair skinned girl, She worked for that Lady! She worked for the guy who gave me a job!

She was the same person Jade talked about! Oh my… what’s the name again?

I cracked my brain over and over again till I found the spot that I had kept it

“Dess? Are you Dess?” I asked with my eyes widened hoping whatever calculations my head just made, was worth it

“yes. I am Dess and I was at the orphanage with and Gibson” she walked over and sat beside David

Like this whole thing is getting me confused.

Why didn’t her face ring a bell the day I saw her at the building?

Who did the fair skinned girl interlock hands with Gibson?

Why didn’t we look mall happy in the other picture?

Why was I and Gibson missing from the last picture?

Who really is the lady Dess worked for?

Why did she work with the other guy?

Why do they want Jade?

Why were they after her?

Where is Jade?

Why do I have such an expensive lawyer?

My brain and I were on their own world, lost in thought

Thinking of all the whys and I didn’t hear all what they were saying anymore

“Chris are you okay?” I heard my head ask me and I blinked twice which made me realize it wasn’t my head but the voice of David

“yeah” I nodded

“come on, let’s go see Jade. We’ll explain everything there” Gibson announced as if he read my thoughts perfectly.

The doctor walked in and checked me, my pulse and heart rate. He said my PCV was back to normal and
they could take me

“but you’ll have to brink him here tomorrow for his therapy session”

“who the fuck pays for all that?” Gibson was forced to ask

“I do” David said and I shot him a glare which he returned.

Immediately, I knew there was more to that look but I was going to take care of it later.

They helped me into the wheel chair and drove me out of the hospital with my lawyer slowly walking behind us…….

You want to know a little secret?

I’m just faking it!

I remember every damn thing

From the moment I saw Gibson that morning to the day my lawyer walked into my room to minutes ago when Dess came in. I know and remember everything.

And you want to know what else I know? Gibson had this whole thing planned!

I’ll tell you how soon…

##DAVID’S POV##

Chris hasn’t remembered yet?

I mean most people don’t forget this aspect of their life

I have been Chris’s lawyer for about a decade now and I’m kindda happy he doesn’t recognize me.

As Gibson and the doctor tried taking Chris out of the wheel chair and placing him in the car, I got a call

And you won’t believe who it is

I withdrew from their midst and went aside to receive the call.

“what else have you gathered?” she asked me from the other end of the call

“everything you need Madam”

“bring the recordings to me in an hour time and do not let suspect a thing” she ordered

“yes madam”

Before I could say anything else, she ended the call.

You wouldn’t blame me. I had to do this, for reasons you’ll soon find.

I got into the car, sat beside Chris while Dess and Gibson were at the front.

Gibson changed the gear and speed off, with the music slowly emitting from the stereo. Everyone was dead silent which was really bad for my job.

We got to the hospital and I had a call from her again

“you bastard! Report here immediately.” She yelled and hung up

I knew it was the coke driving her to speak that way and I knew more than wasting time in meeting her up.

With her tone and harshness, I could tell something was wrong and it was Dess!

“I have an emergency to attend to. I’ll see you around tomorrow mister Chris” I said and we were walking on the hallway

“you wanna leave now?” Gibson asked me “I mean, you have some job to run here” he said stopping to look at me

“let him go” Chris said which brought in cold breeze into my spine

“I’ll see you around” I said and left, I was even becoming uncomfortable around that Gibson of a guy.

And Dess? What an ungrateful child she is!
