Chapter 49


    On getting to the apartment that was rented for Nanny Tammy decades ago, But pulled the car over


    and stepped down. Julie also stepped down and they both walked to the entrance of the house.


    But knocked a number of times but there was no response.


    "I don''t think the door is closed," Julie said and twisted the knob then it opened.


    But opened the door widely and peeped inside, all he could perceive were drugs.


    "There may be a sick person in here," But said and walked in with Julie. The couple then went on to


    the only bedroom avable there and on opening the door, they were welconed with a thick smell of


    drugs. The woman on the bed looked very skinny and weak.


    Julie walked closer and realized that this woman was Nanny Tammy.


    "Oh my days!" Julie eximed in shock. "What has happened to her that made her look this way?"


    "Is she living alone here? Can she even talk?" But said.


    Apparently, Nanny Tammy''s eyes were closed. But and Julie suddenly heard someone''s step

    approaching them, they both exchanged nces before setting their gaze on the door to see who


    would walk in.


    A man dressed in a military uniform suddenly walked in, he immediately brought out his gun and


    pointed it at But and Julie, "who the fuck are you people?"


    But and Julie raised both of their hands up and said, "we mean ho harm. Nanny Tammy is our old


    friend, we remembered her and came to check on her."


    The young officer observed them for a while and lowered his gun, he still didn''t trust the couple yet so


    he went ahead and search them. Seeing that they were without weapons, he tucked his gun back.


    "Stay by a side, " he said. But and Julie obeyed and stayed by a side.


    "Mama," he called and tapped Nanny Tammy gently. The woman fluttered her eyes opened and on


    seeing Coleem, she forced out a smile, "Coleen, you came back so early. I told you not to worry too


    much about me and focus on your work." The woman swallowed and added, "the maid you employed


    for me is doing her job well."


    "Mama..." Coleen almost cried, "I miss you so much."


    Nanny Tammy raised her hand up and touched his cheek, "you have been my onlypanion for


    years. I would be lying if I say I didn''t wish badly to see you."


    "I''m so happy to see you," Nanny Tammy said. Infact, from her expression, one could tell that she was


    so happy to see Coleen.


    "Mama... Did you know these people?" He said, pointing to But and Julie. But and Julie quickly


    appeared before Nanny Tammy.


    "Mr. But... Mrs. Julie..." Nanny Tammy called. These two people gave her a baby to cater for and


    after two years of sending her money for upkeep, they totally abandoned her. For the rest of the years,


    she worked night and day to take care of Coleen. Now, her godson, Coleen is one of the one hundred


    and ten Generals for Western Ocean City. That''s a dreame through for her, it''s just that sickness


    didn''t allow her to enjoy her ''son''s'' wealth. Infact, her sickness is even sucking so much money from


    him.


    "Nanny Tammy, it hurts me to see you this way..." Julie said.


    "Tammy, what happened to you?" But questioned.


    "I feel sick and the doctors couldn''t help my case. I''m dieing," she almost cried.


    But and Julie felt sad for her, "Tammy, this man here... Is he...."


    Nanny Tammy quickly said to Coleen, "Coleen, please excuse us."


    "Mama... Did you really trust these people?" Coleen asked, he wasn''t willing to leave his ''mom'' alone


    with these couple.


    "Trust me," Nanny Tammy said.


    Coleen then nodded and walked out.


    Julie sat at the edge of the bed and asked her, "why don''t you call us when you fell sick?"


    Tammy''s face changed into a stern one, "you abandoned me all these years and you suddenly want


    me to call you when I fell sick, huh? Why are you here?" Tammy knew these people were here for a


    reason so there was no point acting as if they care for her.


    "Is that man the little boy I gave you to take care of years ago?" But asked in a whisper, he never


    can tell if Coleen is by the door, trying to listen to their conversation.


    "No, the boy died four yearster as a result of leukemia, I called your number and that of miss. Julie


    severally but neither of you answered my call." She answered.


    "Who is this young man then?" But asked curiously.


    "My son. He''s a product of a night stand I had with a gigolo. You should leave now..." Nanny Tammy


    suddenly began to cough and shouted, "Coleen."


    Coleen rushed inside and attended to her quickly, "sorry mama, should I get you water?"


    "Send these two people away and don''t let them ever appear here again," Nanny Tammy said.


    "Scram!" Coleen shouted on them and brought out his gun as if ready to shoot, But and Julie


    immediately ran out.


    "Did they try to hurt you mommy?" Coleen asked.


    "No, but I don''t want to see them again," Nanny Tammy said.


    "Got it, mama. Let me warn then," he then walked out.


    "Did they think I''m a fool? Of course, Coleen is the little boy you abandoned in my care, I won''t give


    him back to you cause you don''t deserve him," Nanny Tammy mumbled. She suffered so much to raise


    Coleen, how can some two idiots appear out of nowhere trying to im him?


    When Coleen appeared outside, he threatened But and Julie, "next time I see the both of you here,


    I''ll shoot you dead."


    The two couple rushed inside their car and drove off.


    As they drove away, But said, "why do I think Tammy is lying? Is she really a type that will sleep


    with a gigolo?"


    "I honestly don''t know what to think. It''s even more scary that the man is a general in the military too."


    She said.


    "He''s a general?"


    "Yes, of course, see the number of stars on his shoulder," Julie said. "I hope he never meets Katherine.


    And I hope Mrs. Kate never find out that Katherine is their daughter."


    Julie suddenly looked at But who was fully concentrated on the driving, "I''m scared, But. What if


    the truth gets revealed? We have many hidden secrets, we were even the one that killed Charles.


    Basically, we stole the first two kids of Mrs. Kate and killed thest one."


    "The secrets will never be out unless you spill it." But said.


    "Why would I? I''ll die with these secrets. I''m just scared."


    "You don''t have to," But himself was scared but he had to act like he wasn''t. If Mrs. Kate and her


    husband ever find out these secretes, they are as good as dead.
