Password - Season 2 - Episode 3

Still Baluu remained far away as the security men locked the gridlock and secured it with the padlocks and the nurses held the dart guns pointed at him.

Maa Abena was weeping silently now, and just then Nii Lin appeared with Senior Nurse Elsie Ansah.

She was in blue housedress. Obviously she was not on duty but Nii Lin had hunted her down.
Her face was filled with horror as she glared at the Director.

“Mr. Dovlo!” she said harshly. “What do you think you’re doing? Putting a patient in the same ward with an unrestrained Baluu? What’s the meaning of this? Do you want him dead? Get him out of there this instant!”

Director Bobo Dovlo turned and glared at her with fiendish scrutiny.

“You dare question me?”
“I’m not questioning you!” Elsie flared. “I’m just telling you that if any harm comes to that boy I’ll include this gross disregard to human life in my report, Mr. Bobo Dovlo!”

Bobo Dovlo looked at Nurse Elsie with narrowed eyes and licked his lips.

Suddenly it occurred to him that there were too many eyewitnesses, and maybe he could have handled this situation differently with only the security guards around.

Hatred for Kofi Kuntu and the urge to see Baluu tearing him apart had made the Director behave in a rash manner, and now he sought a way out that would give him some leeway when the imminent death of Kofi occurred at the hands of the killer Baluu.

“I’ve been trying to work out a new formula for Baluu to integrate him slowly to human co-existence, Nurse Ansah!” the Director said crossly. “You don’t understand my premium approach to cases like these, because you’re always in a rush to jump to conclusions!”

“Get him out of there now, Director!” Nurse Elsie screamed. “Whatever treatment you’re aiming at will have to be tested under controlled situations first without humans exposed to acute danger that can lead to death! This is absolutely unacceptable!”
Baluu could no longer wait.

He let out an ear-splitting scream and rushed towards the door.

The nurses, security men and doctors quickly moved away from the door against the wall.

“My God!” Maa Abena said tearfully. “He’s going to kill Kofi!”

Kofi Kuntu, who was free from the straitjacket now, and whose mind was still a little befuddled by the drug he had been given, suddenly stood up tall, and then he suddenly dropped on both his hands and knees and crawled forward toward the rushing Baluu.

Baluu came to a sudden stop and looked at Kofi Kuntu crawling towards him on his hands and knees like a monkey.

“Ei, no be small. Yie!” Baluu said softly. “And what animal is this?”

Kofi still moved towards Baluu on all fours.
Baluu’s face was a little uneasy now.
He held out his hands towards the strange white thing coming towards him.

“Ei, no be small! Hey, stop!” he said, taking a step back. “Stop!”

When Kofi still came forward Baluu took a step forward and kicked him in the belly! Kofi grunted with pain and fell flat on his face, breathing with difficulty and looking up at Baluu with his face contorted with pain.

“Ei, no be small. What do you think you were doing?” Baluu asked with an uneasy smile.

“I’m hungry,” Kofi said, giggling suddenly through his pain.

Baluu grabbed Kofi’s arm and suddenly hurled him through the air. Kofi smashed into one wall with a sickening thud, and this time he m0aned with great pain. Maa Abena and Nurse Elsie both screamed with fright. Maa Abena Nyantie covered her face with her hands, unable to watch the terrible beating.
Kofi could barely move now. The mist of madness induced by the injection Director Dovlo had given him was clearing fast now, and as he sat up with pain he looked at Baluu with confusion.

“Aboa wati!” Kofi groaned with pain as Baluu dropped to one knee and raised a gigantic fist above Kofi’s face, ready to deliver a crushing blow to Kofi’s face.

“Ei, no be small!” Baluu said. “So you’re hungry. Ei, no be small. So what do you want to eat?”

“The head of John the Baptist,” Kofi said and giggled insanely.

And that was when Baluu began to laugh!
For many years he had been kept at the Asylum, and no one had ever heard him laugh before. He dropped his fist and laughed so hard that he started farting with loud explosive sounds!

Kofi was intrigued, and he slowly got up and sat down on one of the beds.

Baluu was still laughing as he also got up and sat on the bed beside Kofi.

The people in the corridor stared at the two of them with total shock.

Director Bobo Dovlo’s face was like a death mask as he drew near the metal gates and peered inside, his mouth dropping open with total disbelief.

“Ei, no be small!” Baluu said. “You want to eat the head of John the Baptist, that rastaman preacher is in the Methodist Hymn Book?”

Kofi giggled himself silly.

“Yes, yes!” he said, giggling. “The one whose head was chopped off by King Herod for his step-daughter!”

“Ei, no be small, you fool!” Baluu said, pushing Kofi’s head back. “It wasn’t King Herod who cut of the head of John Baptist! It was Jerry Rawlings!”

Kofi giggled loudly and shook his head.

“Crazy talk!” he said with glee. “What’s Jerry Rawlings doing in the Methodist Hymn Book?”

Baluu laughed loudly with him.

“Looking for Doctor Miamia!” Baluu said.
The two of them laughed insanely, grabbing their bellies and exploding with laughter.
Kofi spoke again through giggles.

“But what did the girl do with the head of John the Baptist when King Herod gave it to him?” Kofi asked.

“Ei, no be small!” Baluu said. “Maybe she threw it into this room somewhere. Let’s look for it.”

Kofi laughed loudly and nodded his head in acquiescence.

“I like that, I like that!” Kofi guffawed. “We’re going to look for the head of John the Baptist!”

“Ei, no be small!” Baluu screamed. “The head of John Baptist!”

The two of them got off the bed and began to search frantically under the beds.

“What will we do with the head of John the Baptist?” Kofi asked.

“Ei, no be small! We’ll eat it together!” Baluu screamed, breaking into fresh laughter. “You will eat the eyes so that you can see! I will eat his ears so that I stop hearing the screams of my wife.”

“And we’ll give his brains to Bobo Dovlo to eat so that he’ll get some sense!” Kofi said and guffawed.
