contract - Season 1 - Episode 29

Tobi watched Abena as she stepped out of
the house. He knew something was
bothering her, and it had to do with the
phone call she had just received. She
always left the house, every Wednesday,
although today was Saturday, and she never
said where she went.

He touched his temple, contemplating on
whether to snoop around or not. He decided
to.

He dialled a number on his phone and
waited for the other person to pick up.
“Hello?”

“Good day to you too, Mr. Ali.”
“No, I’m not conducting any business
transactions. I need you to do something
important for me.”

“The account that I instructed you to pay
ten million naira to, every time I give you a
call, I would like to know how much is in
that account. Send the bank account
statement to my mail.”

“I’m very sure that if you don’t have a job,
you won’t be worried about business ethics
and constumers confidentiality.”

“Thank you.”

He stared at his phone and waited for the
mail to come in. After a few seconds, he
received it.

Miss. Abena Omotosho.

Main balance: N 0.00 k

How can she have no money in her account?
She was supposed to have, at most, twenty
million.

He read the two lines over and over again in
shock.

Where was all the money going to?

…
Abena walked into the hospital with a flood
of memories hitting her.

She hated hospitals.

She hated the memories that came with
them. All her memories were here, in the
hospital.

She had once heard a joke that when
doctors prayed to make a lot of money, they
were praying for people to get sick.

But there was a little consolation, she
wasn’t going because something bad
happened, she was going there because,
finally, something good was happening.
Something small, but good anyway.
She took a deep breath and walked to the
reception and smiled at Feyi, the nurse she
had seen a lot in all her years of coming to
the hospital.

“Good morning Miss. Omotosho!” She smiled
brightly at her. All the nurses in the hospital
knew her, and she hated that.

When she was young, she said wanted to be
well known, but when she said that, she
didn’t mean in the hospital.
“Good morning Feyi.” She gave her a
strained smile.

“You’re here to see Doctor Karo, aren’t you?”

She asked sweetly.

“Yes.”
“He’s been waiting for you. Go right in.” She
said.
She didn’t need to describe the doctors
office for Abena, she had been there a
million times.

She knocked gently and walked into the
office, smiling at the doctor.
“Miss. Omotosho, good to see you again.”
Dr. Karo said looking up at him.
“Doctor, good morning. How is he?” Abena
asked as she sat down.
“Ready for transport, you can see him before
we leave.” He replied.
