Back at the house, Thando is in her room trying to find out who the masked man could be, Mr Nkosi comes in to talk to Thando.

Mr Nkosi: Thando dear, I realized that I’ve been neglecting you, after all you are going to be my daughter-in-law,(smiles) Has Jonathan been treating you well? Be patient with him dear, after the storm we have been through, he has been vulnerable, please take care of him dear…

Thando: You don’t have to tell me that dad, I will always take care of him. But you promise me that you’ll take good care of yourself, okay? hm?

Mr Nkosi: Of course dear, I’ll leave now, good night, I just wanted to check on you dear, I’ll go check on Manda now.

Thando: Good night dad. (Mr Nkosi leaves) (How could I suspect Mr Nkosi to be the masked man, he is so nice to me, it’s like nothing has changed, but…why did he leave in a rush yesterday? what happened?)

Next morning, at breakfast, everyone was seated enjoying their meal.

Mr Nkosi: The police called yesterday…(looking sad)

Jonathan: They did? What did they say? (anticipating)

Mr Nkosi: They said that they found a lead that shows that your mom’s death wasn’t an accident, instead someone murdered her, We’ll talk about it in details later Jon. (sniffle)

Jonathan: Dad, hey, don’t worry, the police will find that disgusting heartless murderer (disgusted, Thando gets upset after hearing what Jonathan said and stands up)

Thando: Um…I think I’ve had enough to eat already (smiles) Manda, hurry and finish eating, when you do you’ll find me at the study room…I’ll go prepare for our lesson. (leaves)

Amanda: But I don’t wanna study though, I don’t feel like studying…(whining)

Jonathan: Manda we know that you’re feeling sad after mom’s death, we all are, but you need to understand that the world and it’s activities doesn’t stop just because our mom has died, life continues for the leaving, look at Thando, even after all this she insists that you study, she doesn’t take advantage of the situation to not do her job, even after the engagement she’s not slacking. This shows just how much she cares about you.

Amanda: I understand, you don’t have to keep flaunting about your wife-to-be (giggles)

Jonathan: You’ll never change. (smiles)

David and Xolani are talking.

Xolani: We’ve checked Nongoloza’s call log and there is no trace of the masked man.

David: (angered) what the hell are you saying to me! You can’t find one stupid old man?! You better find that man before he poses a threat to my sister’s marriage or else do not blame me for what I do to you! (threatening tone)

Xolani: Yes boss, we’ll do our best…

David: I do not need your best, I want your all. Now leave.

Xolani: yes boss

David: wait, what about old man Nkosi?

Xolani: You mean he could be our guy?

David: Exactly right, I mean look at it this way, old man Nkosi left in a hurry like something major happened and then BAM right after that Nongoloza meets with this mysterious, masked, middle aged man…

Xolani: What you’re saying makes sense boss, old man Nkosi does fit in in all of this. I’ll check it out

David: wait a minute, I’ll check with my sister first… (the phone rings and it’s Thando calls) Speak of the devil…(picks up) YES?

Thando: WE SPOKE TO THE OLD MAN OVER BREAKFAST, THE POLICE CALLED HIM YESTERDAY THAT’S WHY HE LEFT IN A RUSH AND IT SEEMS THEY HAVE A NEW LEAD… FIND OUT WHAT THE LEAD IS. (hangs up)

David: It seems like the old man is clean, but the police seem to have found a new lead. Go find out what it is.

Xolani: Yes boss (leaves)

David: (ugh, things are going downhill right now, we need to fix this fast) Damn it (punches the table)
