I can’t believe this Ezinne, I trusted you but you betrayed me. at least you should have thought about my innocent child before you wanted selling her off to ritualists, God in heaven will judge you”. She wiped her tears and curdled her baby. She wasn’t sure if God was avenging Blessing’s death but she deserved it, spiff had called her that night to inform her about Ezinne’s mischief with her baby andhow him and his boys had caught her before she could sell off the baby. She thanked spiff with her eyes which was stillbringing out more tears.

The earlier she gives her child a new life, the better for her she thought.“Martha dear, I will do anything for you ” spiff patted her and looked round the bushthey were in, he gestured to one of his boys to keep his eyes around the bush area to ensure that no one was watching them.” you should know that no one will do anything for free in this life, so it’s not my fault I tried selling the baby” Ezinne pouted, she cleaned her sweaty face and faced Martha.

She was not sober about what she did and she was ready for anything that would happen.

Martha turned and started to walk away from them, spiff followed her and whispered to her.“so what should we do about her, should I order my boys to throw her into the lagoon? ” he squinted his eyes and rubbedhis hairy chest which was revealed as a result of the black singlet he wore. Martha shrugged, hugging her baby closer to herself, the world has taught her to be wicked and the reward for a friend that betrays is death, she eyed her friend disgustingly and faced spiff.“kill her, if she lives she might harm my child ” spiff grinned and called one of his boys and whispered to him, the boy noted and walked to the other boys. Spiff continued walking out of the bush with Martha until they heard ezinne’s shout, he smiled knowing fully well what he had sent his boys to do.

They continued walking until spiff whispered to her ear that he wanted to answer the call of naturein the Bush. He held his butt0ckz with his left hand and hurried inside the Bush leaving Martha standing alone on the path. He had barely removed his boxer when he heard a distant cry of plea. At first he thought he was hallucinating until Martha called out to him.“Spiff! did you hear that? ” Spiff grunted and wore his trouser back, they heard another cry again” please I beg you, don’t kill my babyyy” the voice said again. Martha’s eyes widened, she shook.

A woman like her wasin danger, they are going to hurt her child she thought. She shook spiff’s arm.“please let’s go and check on her, please” she shielded her sleeping child with the baby’s shawl and walked towards the woman’s voice. Spiff gritted his teeth, he understood Martha’s sudden care to rescue a woman and her child but now was not the time as he felt his stomach rumble and tore a sharp pain round his body. He just has to answer to the call of nature,“Martha, just give me 5 minutes ” he said and disappeared into the Bush.********************************************************Patrick instructed three other police men tobe at alert and stand inside the house as he was expecting Theophilus. He had take the wine to the lab and it was tested poisonous and since he was the one that gave Mrs Sarah a drink then he must have poisoned it and probably, he must have leased with Dara to kill her mother. He shrugged and wore his jalabia, now he hadlied to Theophilus that he was a rich hausa man with fleet of cars and he needsa mechanic to service them.

He rubbed hismouthstache, after this he would go and thank his friend Musa the gatekeeper.

He walked towards the gate as soon as he heard a knock on the gate.“Goodafternoon sir, I hope am not late. ” Theophilus rubbed his head, after he gets his money from this Alhaji, he would travelimmediately because he wasn’t safe any longer in this country he thought. blessing was almost killed, the killer had mistakingly shot their pregnant neighbours who is currently at the hospitalreceiving treatment. He knew he was the killer’s target and he would leave before the killer finds him.“no, walahi you are not late. Come and start work immediately ” Patrick led him towards the house and three policemen came out immediately, Theophilus was shocked he turned to Patrick who in turn said” you are under arrest for the murder of Mrs Sarah Davis “. He started wailing at the top of his voice” I didn’t kill her o! I didn’t kill my sugar MaMa” he continued wailing until he was pushed into the truck by the police and they sped off lean Patrick who also do to see Musa for the last time.He bought drinks for Musa who continued drinking, and blabbering gibberish.

He played a hausa song on his small tape recorder and danced to it until he got tired.“hepty man, why are you moody or is your oga disturbing you” Musa went in and brought something in a small black leather.“see my hepty friend, put this in your oga’sdrink he will just sleep, and he will never wake up to disturb you and na you go inherit their property” he gave a long throaty laugh and Patrick kept looking at him, this is serious he thought as he askedMusa a question“Musa, u don use am before? ”” yes now, I put am inside one wine for my madam.. ” he paused and looked around, he whispered into Patrick’s ear, and immediately he stood up with his eyes almost poping out of its socket.*******************************************************
