... The one Ariana sent to him (Mr Anderson).

Andrey:  What an interesting story. 

Okay so, did you aleast see the text message Ariana sent to Mr Anderson when you arrived the apartment? 

Alexandra: No!

Andrey: Did you see the text?(turning to Brian)

Brian: No sir.

Andrey: We need to see that message to confirm that you got such message from Ariana, (talking to Mr Anderson. 

Mr Anderson: Yes of course. 

Andrey: So what shall we do? 

Mr Anderson: We could go back to the apartment,  maybe that's where I left it.

So, they agreed that they would go to Ariana's apartment,  probably he left the  phone somewhere in the house.

Andrey called the doctor and spoke to him briefly, telling him they were going to Ariana's house to search for a phone,  and instructed Damian to stay back in case Ariana wakes up, and the doctor obliged. And they left for Ariana's house.

The place was in a mess with Ariana's blood everywhere.  Andrey asked them to spread out and look for the phone, and they did but could not find the phone. They searched everywhere there but found nothing.

Andrey: Oh well, we didn't find it. So we will have to take you in.

Brian: In where?

Andrey: The station.

Alexandra: Ha! No!! Not just yet, it hasn't gotten to that. This man is innocent,  there's no way he could have harmed Ariana,  no way at all.

Andrey: You don't know that for sure ms Alexandra. 

Brian: (talking to Mr Anderson), sir,  who was in the house when you left? I mean your house...

Mr Anderson: No one. My wife and kids traveled for the holiday. 

Brian: Dear God! (Put his hands on his head) and for one minute, no one said anything. Then Brian continued; "Are you saying that no one saw you leave the house?  Come on, someone must have seen you leave the house sir, think!

Mr Anderson:  Oh! Yes! Yessss! My gate man,  he saw me leave the house. I remember he was screaming like he was trying to tell me something but I was too much in a hurry and didn't pay attention to him.

Brian: There you go!

Andrey: Well then, lets call him. 

They stared at him as though he has forgotten they were looking for  Mr Anderson's phone some minutes ago, and can't call his gate man. Immediately,  he got the memo and said; "oh! Yea, the phone..."

He continued,  "let's go to your house then"

Brian: Good idea.

So, they turned to leave, but Alexandra spoke up, asking they clean up the place so it doesn't get badder than it already is, the blood was already drying up on the floor.

They thought it was a good idea as well,  and decided to do so, (Brian and Mr Anderson) started cleaning and mopping the floor, while Andrey stood and watched.

It wasn't long, they were done with the cleaning.

It  was 4am in the morning already and the weather was cold all through the night, but no one reasoned that Mr Anderson would be cold or needed some cloths on, well, what use would that be now that they're going to his house?

Alexandra went back door and made sure the doors and windows were properly locked, then they all left the house for Mr Anderson's.

What a night of torture Brian imagined.  "Wouldn't it be so nice to lie on my bed and sleep the night away? Instead of roaming the streets of Port Harcourt, first ,in a bloody vehicle,  and now, in a police van. I am certain I wouldn't have signed up for this, if this was a form given to me". Brian was lost in himself.

He continued... "well, I did it for Ariana,  the woman that captured my heart at the spot when I first saw her. She is my focus,  she's why I can do this". 

It was just 5 minutes away,  and they arrived Mr Anderson's apartment, the gate man thought it was his boss that was at the gate and opened it when he heard the humming, but when he saw a police van, he passed out.
