She squatted beside him and said, "Coleen, what happened to you? What did they do to you?"
"I came to check on my sick mom only to find out that some men were trying to kidnap her. I
immediately..." He gulped in hard.
"Take it easy and explain to me," Katherine calmed him.
"I immediately charged at them thinking I could easily take them down but they overpowered me and
took off with my sick mother," Coleen cried.
Katherine sighed, "I'll help you find your mom." She then stood and ordered for Coleen to be taken to
the hospital in the military base.
At once, Coleen was taken away. Katherine examined the rooms in the house and confirmed that there
was indeed a sick woman living here.
She then ordered seven officers to trail after those men who rode away in powerbikes. Afterwards, she
returned to the military base. She went straight to her office and resume her work from yesterday. She
had a plan of checking on Coleen in few hours.
About thirty Five minutes later, her phone rang and she answered the call, "were you able to get those
men?" The person who called her was one of the officers she sent to trail after the men who 'took
Coleen's mom away.'
"No, General. We tried all our best but we couldn't find the men." The officer reported.
"Okay," she said and hung the call up. She resumed what she was doing and after one hour had
passed, she went to the ward that Coleen was and on entering, she saw that his face was now looking
clean unlike before that it was battered and littered with blood.
She walked closer to him. Coleen sensed someone's presence and turned his head to her, "were you
able to find my mom?"
Katherine sighed heavily and shook her head in response, "no."
Coleen bursted into tears and pulled himself to sit upright, "gosh! My mom is sick, I wonder what these
people want with her. They could have kidnapped me at least and leave my mom," he sobbed like a
baby.
Katherine felt pityful for him and said, "I'll inform our special intelligence team to begin an immediate
investigation."
Coleen nodded and lowered his head, he suddenly raised his face up to Katherine and said,
"Katherine, I don't know what is between you and Donna but you misunderstood my relationship with
her. You didn't even allow me to explain? As friends, if we notice something is odd, can't we at least
listen to eachother's explanation?"
"Coleen, that I came to your aid doesn't mean I have forgiving you for being a friend with my enemy.
Donna is clearly my enemy and my guess is that, she's using you to set me up." Katherine said. "It's
obvious. At the restaurant, you were away when the robbery attack that led to my kidnap happened. At
the Amunition house, you were also away when the dogs that suddenly started barking made me go in
there only for the building to be set on fire later." She said.
Coleen threw his legs to the floor, sitting more upright, "Katherine... I don't understand where all these
is coming from. Donna and I aren't even friends, we exchanged numbers at Surgeon General Wendi's
welcome party few months ago. I think she has a crush on me but I've been snubbing her cause I
sincerely do not think I can develop feelings for her. Plus, she's the fiancee of the god of war."
"Donna has a crush on you?" Katherine asked.
"Yes of course, she calls me at night most times but I ignore her calls. She tells me that Marshall
doesn't give her time and that she's mostly bored. I didn't outrightly reject her though, I just stopped
picking her calls," he continued, "that day, I didn't pick her call cause I wasn't in the mood too. I don't
want to engage in anything with her that will cause scandal." Charles was speaking with so much
'sincerity' that Katherine was forced to challenge what she had assumed and concluded about Coleen.
Could he be telling the truth?
"Katherine, please believe me. I literally do not have anyone as a friend. My sick mother is my only
companion and now, she had been kidnapped. I don't even know when I'll see her again. Katherine,
please don't be ruthless to me. You are my only friend now." He said pityfully.
"Please Katherine..." He cried and added, "now that I know that Donna is your enemy, I'll block her line
immediately." He then picked up his phone and blocked Donna's number. Katherine could see the
screen of his phone as he blocked Donna's line.
Was he really being sincere?
"I'll need some time to think about this. I can't guarantee that we will continue to be friends, Coleen.
And I do hope you get better soon," she said and turned. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Coleen quickly spoke, "Katherine, congratulations on your promotion once again."
Katherine paused and turned to him, "it's all thanks to you. I wouldn't have been promoted if you didn't
help."
"Katherine, you are attending the promotion party thr
