PHILIP'S POV

I kept calling Caleb's Line but it wasn't reachable.  I was driving as fast as I could to his house when Roger called me and informed me that he needed my help.  According to him,  the deal wasn't sealed properly and so out of anger Caleb gave him a blow that got his eyes swollen and the only thing he could do to defend himself was to shoot him,  so he shot him.

"Jesus.  What??  What have you done??

"Bro I need you to just come up to the Roof top. If you get here on time we could get him to the hospital or something" he replied with a shaky voice.

I reversed and changed direction. I drove so fast and in ten minutes I got to The Rooftop Bar.

I hurriedly ran inside and in no time I found him.  Caleb was laying in a pool of his blood. He was shot in his head and there was no heavenly way he'd survive.

"Philip,  Caleb is your brother. He's your flesh and blood" Felicia's voice rang in head.

"Nooooooooooooooooooooo" I screamed and the hard guy in me melted. 

I remember writing I was glad I didn't know my missing brother because if I had known him, I'd have hated him.  But no, right now I couldn't bear seeing him lifeless.

Hot tears rolled down my cheeks as I murmured the word 'brother'

"You killed him" I said

"Bruh it was a mistake.  His selfish bloody ass wouldn't have been killed if he didn't want all the money" Roger said with lack of emotion.

"IF YOU DON'T SHUT UP" I fired back in anger

"Fine.  Let's get this mess cleaned up before Emeka comes so we'll just dispose his body and act like it never happened"

I knelt beside Caleb's lifeless body and I couldn't hold back tears.

The more words he spoke,  the more angrier I got and the less control I had over my emotions.
I turned to the left and a gun was on the table.  I walked closely to the table without making my intentions known.

I took the gun and pulled the trigger.

"What's happening here" Emeka said walking in to the scene.

"Oarugh"

He groaned and I watched him fight to get a hold of himself but failed and fell on the floor.
My mouth dropped open at the body of Emeka falling.  I missed my target and ended up killing my own brother.

"Put your weapons down and place your hands up" A voice ordered from the back.

I turned to see an officer pointing his gun directly at me.
I dropped the Gun and lifted my both hands.

"Get down on the ground and place your hands behind your back" The officer shouted kicking the gun away from where I was.

"Okay. Okay" I lamented, making my way slowly to the ground.

"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney and if you cannot afford an attorney,  one will be provided for you.  Do you understand???

A cold sensation dulled my skin, feeling the bite of steel wrapped around my wrists.

"Get up!  Keep your hands where I can see them" Another officer Ordered Roger as he moved over and edged his knees into his back.

"Please I need to call my Lawyer" I pleaded

FELICIA'S POV

"Thank you" I mouthed to the young lady who had brought a glass of juice for me upon my request.

"It's really nice to know Philip has such a diligent and hardworking lady" Chief complimented

I smiled at his compliments.

"So, Chief how has your marriage been?  I heard there's alot into Marriage than we hear"

"You're right.  I married the love of my life anyway.  We were both lovers and she got pregnant and so to avoid People questioning  her relationship with me, I married her.  I haven't regretted it one bit" he started

"Wow"

"Yes.  We've had issues here and there as every couple would have, but it's always been we we. Love, Truth, loyalty and everything else playing a vital role" he concluded.

"Truth,  Loyalty" I repeated

"Yes dear"

"So there's no secret in your marriage??  I asked 
"Excuse me" I said picking up the incoming call from Philip.

"Whaaat??? 

"Relax.  I'll be there as soon as possible"

I hung up immediately and dropped the glass on the table. I picked up my bag and begged to take my leave.

"Chief,  I'm sorry there's an emergency with Philip and I have to get there"

"What's the Matter?? Chief asked

"He's been arrested" I shouted from the door, then hurriedly left.

* * * *

"Are you the lawyer?

"Yes.  Felicia Nyemike" I replied stretching my hands for a handshake.

"Okay,  I'm Detective Anthony" he replied
"Shall we?

"Yes" I answered and followed him.

"Phil" I called immediately I entered the empty room Philip was left in.

I wrapped my arms around him and held him for a while before letting go.

"You have fifteen minutes" An officer stated before leaving.

"Felicia I'm so doomed" Philip said this time,  crying.

"Phil,  I need you to relax" I started.
"You do know why you're here right? 

"Aside having them walk into the scene when I was with the gun and with both bodies on the floor lifeless,  with an injured Roger,  I DON'T KNOW" He said

"Look at me Philip" I said and he looked directly at my face.  "I'm the only one who can get you out of here so I need you to tell me the whole damn truth"

"Okay" he huffed and let his head fall on his cuffed hands.

"Talk to me"

"Okay, when I left I was driving down to Caleb's place to tell him about the truth when Roger called me that he had shot him in defense. so when I got there I found my missing brother in a pool of his blood. And.. And..  I couldn't bear the pains of seeing him lifeless.  Roger wouldn't stop talking and out of anger I picked up a gun and pulled the trigger,  but Emeka walked in just then and Roger pulled him to his front. I killed.. my brother--" He concluded and tears dripped down his cheek.

"Damn"

"My mother..  My mother" he called out crying.

"Pull yourself together" I said holding his hands.   "I've spoken to the police and they believe they have evidence enough to send you to jail but we have a meeting with the assistant DA tomorrow morning so I guess from there, we'll build your Case"

"You're my only hope right now.  Please get me out of here"

"I'll do my best"

I got my bag from the table and left a pat on Philip's back before walking out through the  steel door.
