The Consortium’s Heir By Benjamin Jnr Chapter 4
Meanwhile, after David and Sarah left, Darius was handed over to the police by the security staff. They
cuffed him and put him in their car before taking him to the police station. On the ride to the police
station, Darius was silent all through. His mind was still upied with thoughts of the break up he just
went through. There was no longer any doubt in him. Sarah had ended their rtionship. It was all over
now. When they got to the police station, Darius alighted from the vehicle with a nk stare on his face.
They guided him to a room in the police station and told him to seat down. After five minutes, a
policeman came into the room. “Darius Reid. Am I correct?” Darius nodded his head. He didn’t feel like
speaking. “You are charged with three offenses for your behavior this night. You are charged for
assault and battery, disruption of business, and violence.” Darius eyes widened. He didn’t know that he
was charged with so many offenses! “To pay for your crimes, you have to pay a sum of $5,000 or you’d
spend the next three days in jail. That will be very bad for you isn’t it? You’re a student at Kingston
University. They don’t ept students with criminal records. Such records on your files will surely get
you expelled.” Darius felt his head spinning wildly. Five thousand dors? Where on earth was he going
to get such a huge sum of money? As if the policeman saw through his worries, he spoke again. “If you
don’t have such amount of money on you now, I’ll give you your phone to make some calls now.
However, you have only an hour to pay up. Otherwise I won’t be able to help you.” “Thank you very
much!” Darius said as he stretched his hands, collecting his old phone from the police man
outstretched hands. The policeman sighed. At a single nce he could tell that the offender was very
poor and that there was no way he would be able toe up with such a huge amount of money on
his own ord. He really hoped that he had people that would be able to pay the fine; otherwise he
would have to spend 3 days behind bars. Darius felt his heart beating fast as he went through his
contact list on his phone. The phone had suffered terribly from his fight with David. The screen had
cracked in numerous ces, and the visibility of the screen of the phone had reduced greatly. As
Darius scrolled through the list on his phone, he let out a bitterugh. He didn’t even have up to 30
contacts listed on his phone. It was expected though, as Darius always worked part time. Therefore he
didn’t have time for school meet ups, asions, fundraisers and the likes. Finally he decided to call his
dorm mates. Although they were not as wealthy as David, Darius was sure that they would be able to
pay the sum. He dialed the number and ced the phone on his ears. On the third ring, the person
picked up the call. “Hello Darius! Darius is that you?!” “Yes Rudd. It’s me.” Darius replied. Rudd let out
an audible sigh of relief. They had watched the whole live stream and found out the truth. Sarah and
Darius were actually in a rtionship before. They had prepared to bring Darius back to the dorm when
they found out the truth but the stream went off when the security staff pulled Darius off David. After
that they had no idea where Darius went, which put them at a loss. They were very d to hear from
Darius, until they heard that he was actually in the police station and would not be released without
paying a sum of five thousand dors. They all knew that there was no was way Darius would be able
to afford such an amount. Rudd promised to be there in twenty minutes before disconnecting the
call. He looked at his ount bnce and saw that he only had around $2,100 left. It was the money
remaining from his monthly allowance. He sighed, and turned to his dorm mates. After pooling all the
money they had, they finally got the required amount for the bail. They left the dorm immediately and
hailed a cab to the police station. After greeting the policemen stationed at the entrance they made
their way to the room Darius was detained. They made the required payment and thanked the
policeman for his kindness before leading Darius out of the station. When they got outside the station,
Rudd was the first to break the silence. “What were you thinking Darius?! How could you go and fight
with the richest student on campus? Are you looking to get killed?!” Rudd shouted,pletely
agitated. “Yeah Darius. If you wanted to fight him then you should have told us what happened. We
would have helped you.” Another of his dorm mate, Marcus added. Darius looked at his dorm mates
and felt his heart warming up. He was very grateful that despite his poverty he was able to get good
and trustworthy friends like them. He felt extremely grateful, as if it weren’t for them, he would have
ended up behind bars, and most likely expelled from the university. Darius turned to face them and
bowed deeply, expressing his sincerity. “I’m very grateful for the help you offered me now. I know I can’t
do much to repay it now, but in the future, I’ll be sure to repay this favor tenfold.” “Don’t sweat it Darius!”
Rudd said. He was happy that Darius was grateful to them, but he didn’t want Darius to put an
unnecessary burden on himself. It was good that they were able to raise the required sum and bring
him out. His sincerity was all they needed. Darius stood up after being persuaded by his three dorm
mates. He walked with them for a little bit before speaking up again. “I’m sorry guys, but I’d like to be
alone for some time.” Without waiting for their response, Darius started making his way away from the
group. Rudd was about to speak up but Greg, the third dorm mate held him back. “Leave him be Rudd.
We can’t help him with everything. He has to go through this alone.” Greg said. Rudd looked like he
wanted to argue, but he didn’t. He knew deep down that Greg was right. He sighed. He hoped that
Darius would be able to ovee this hurdle on his own. The trio watched Darius until he was no
longer visible in their line of sight, before turning and walking towards their dorm.
