Dial - Season 1 - Episode 41

“My goodness!” I whispered with apparent horror. “What happened to him?”
Apostle Williams grinned, but I noticed that the grin just stretched his mouth. His eyes were filled with unpleasant fear.
“Hah, Mr. Biko, you see what I told you?” he said and shook his head. “Disciple Darko touched the pot at a time he shouldn’t have touched the pot, and he fell down and now look at him! That’s the kind of battle we face! But the devil is a liar!”

“Apostle, take me to the hospital!” Disciple Darko screamed suddenly. “Take me to hospital now!”

Apostle Williams smiled sickly again, and for a moment it seemed he didn’t know what to say, and then he shrugged and pointed to the door.

“Please send him to the prayer room, Elders,” he said. “Let him sleep.”
“I don’t want to sleep, Apostle!” Elder Darko cried, and now tears fell down his wrinkled cheeks. “I don’t want to sleep! Take me to the hospital! Take me to the hospital!”
The Apostle looked at him angrily, and then he shrugged.

“Alright, Elders!” he said. “Call one of the drivers and use the minibus. Send him to the clinic down the street!”
“No clinic!” Elder Darko disagreed as they carried him out of the room. “The big hospital. I won’t go to the clinic! Take me to the hospital now!”

I looked at him, and then I turned a horrified face to the Apostle.

“What now, sir?” I asked softly as I fought down my horror.
“Well, this thing is more serious than I thought,” he said quietly. “I called one of my enlightened friends, and he said I should bring you over. He’s more enlightened in the dark arts, and together the two of us will deal with this evil incarnate! Come with me, Mr. Biko! This trouble will be solved for you in a jiffy! The devil is a liar!”

So that was how I came to sit in the huge, beautiful Mercedes Benz of Apostle Williams.
We sat in the back and his driver ferried us around town.

Once again I dozed off, maybe from sheer exhaustion and repressed fear.
When the car finally stopped, and we got out, it dawned on me with the force of a mule’s kick that we had arrived on the premises of the Bare Light International Church!
