''No but its true; I swear I’m not lying to you. I am a small girl so how could I have done that?'' she asked stretching out her hands. ''That’s what I'd like to know. How did you do it? Did you get someone to carry out your dirty job or did you do it on your own? How did you incapacitate him that night? Did you poison him or something cos I'd sure like to know how you could have strangled and stabbed him at the same time!'' She rose from the chair and I got up too. She reminded me of a mountain rising up from the ground. I could see the muscle twitching at the side of her face and I smiled when I noticed her strong wrist. I had my killer and I knew it like I knew my name. Her face was hard and her mouth curved at the sides as she spoke quietly ''please get out of here. You cannot be normal.'' ''Where is his phone?'' I asked, ‘‘what did you do with it?'' |

Nmeri17:Really, how you gon be hating on my protagonist? Do you want Unique to solve this case irrespective of who the killer is? Yall should be cheering him on. Let's imagine he is not the typical Naija police, let's say he is a really good cop, won't you want him to succeed? 2 Likes |

touchmeder:He thinks crime can be solved by being nice and sweet. I think Unique is a bit too gentle towards rude and grumpy Pam. An average Nigerian policeman will treat her differently for her so many lies. |

Plaitex:No be everybody spoil like you |
Re: The Corpse on the Couch - a murder mystery by teamplayey: 7:56pm On Jan 07, 2015 |
@ Plaitex and Elparaiso: If truly Nathan had mistreated Pamela, she is not supposed to be surprised by her mum and the stranger's 'activity'. Shocked maybe at her mother, for making out with a stranger. But my guess is that she would have been aware of her mum and Niyi's closeness. Psychologically, its hard enough going through such at 15 years. Hmm! |
Re: The Corpse on the Couch - a murder mystery by touchmeder: 8:11pm On Jan 07, 2015 |
Frankenstein: Ehh, I'd like to think Unique should be the Nigerian police of the future somewhere in my head. He can be fair when he wants to be, but he is not perfect @ all. I agree a typical Nigerian police would not condone such behavior but then again I've tried to infuse characteristics of our police as we know them today. 1 Like |

Personally, I think 0fficer Unique is doing a great job with firmness and persistence. These make for a better case study. He appears also to want the truth. *just my two-cents #blushing Please Touchmeder, more updates abeg Ejoo Biko nu |
Re: The Corpse on the Couch - a murder mystery by touchmeder: 8:28pm On Jan 07, 2015 |
teamplayey: I'd tell you what I had in my head when writing that bit. 1st she was shocked to see her mother making out with the stranger - quite normal you'd agree. Next she is 15 and should have a fairly good idea of the sort of emotion sexual act would produce but don't forget she has been abused from a young age. Let's say her idea of sex and any associated emotion flowing from the act has been severely distorted. |
Re: The Corpse on the Couch - a murder mystery by teamplayey: 8:37pm On Jan 07, 2015 |
I agree with you. And maybe, it is also for those reasons including compassion that Officer Unique is being relatively 'patient' in dealing with her. I figure in detective work they study some psychology and mental stuff (psychiatry). Anyway, you are doing great in this narration Touchmeder. #addictive things, Lol |

An Unsolicited Lesson in Parenting ''I came to have a conversation with Pamela. I just needed to tie up some loose ends; it's about the case'' I explained. ''Osas and Edugie, go inside the house and wait for me. Pamela stay put!'' Ms Imade announced. She waited for some seconds until the younger children had left then she went berserk. ''Mr Officer, what are you still investigating about this case? You people told me at the station, that this case has been solved. So what are you still investigating inside it?'' ''Why don’t you ask your daughter once I leave. I believe Pamela has something to tell you'' I looked at Pamela and she lowered her gaze. ''No I'm not asking her, I'm asking you. Tell me what you are doing inside my compound with my teenage daughter?'' she screamed. ''Don’t even go there Ms Imade …'' She moved closer to Pamela and screamed at her ''Pamela what is this man doing inside my compound? What kind of case are you people still judging? You don’t have mouth abi you can't talk again?'' ''He was asking me questions about Uncle Nathan and …'' she broke off and began to cry. ''Uhmnn go on, what were the questions'' she asked impatiently. The next thing I saw was a hand flying down Pamela’s face. The young girl screamed out in pain and covered her cheek with both hands. Ms Imade tried to slap her again but I quickly stepped in and held her hand in mid air while Pamela ran for cover. 1 Like |
