Must Read: The Devil Who Loved Me

After a couple more futile shots, I told him I
really had to leave. While we played, we talked
about various topics; I realized he was very
smart. He also avoided some questions tactfully
like when I asked him about his parents.
Jafar: Uche will drop you off, lemme call him. Do
me well to send my best regards to Abayomi
and Timi.

Me: you keep mentioning Timi, what’s that
about?
Jafar: they are both members of your team, is
there any reason why you are touchy about
him?
I shrugged.
Me: Uche is taking forever, where can I get a
cab around?
Jafar: lemme drop you off.
I didn’t know if I wanted that, being associated
with a cultist or Confra as he calls it especially
during the election period. But instead of saying
no, I followed him to his Benz.
The car moved like him, quiet and efficient. He
had a marc Anthony cd on. The track playing
was “when you sang to me”.
Unfortunately….very unfortunately…I liked the
song.
‘of all the words you said to me about life, the
truth and being free, yea..you sang to me’
I sang along shamelessly. He would look at me
sometimes and giggle. The ride was almost
feeling like a normal one until I noticed the
Volvo that was following us through the rear
mirror, same Volvo that carried off Acho’s sorry
butt0ckz.
Me: your goons are following us?
Jafar: you also have a problem with my guys
following me?
Me: what are you…Mr president?
Jafar: I am number 1
He said it so casually, that I couldn’t even
condemn him. But my mind went through
stories I have heard about what it takes to be
number 1. I looked at his hand and wondered
the evil he had done. I wondered how they hurt
him during his initiation…I didn’t like the
imagination of people hurting him. I was
getting silly. Then we got to the front of Toun’s
house.

Jafar: see you soon
Me: very funny, there is one question I wanted
to ask you. Do you think we will win, like
honestly?
Jafar: with everything we have invested, that’s
a lot of faith don’t you think?
Me: answer my question
Jafar: we can only do our best and hope it
comes out well…we will do just fine
Me: bye…thanks for the ride
Jafar: thanks for the food
Me: very funny…
I noticed the Volvo stride behind the Benz as
they drove away. I walked up to the door and
was about to knock when I heard Toun m0an.
Listening carefully, I heard the grunt of the guy
straffing my friend. I waited for about 15
minutes before I knocked. I hoped it wasn’t
what I thought; I hoped it wasn’t another guy.
It would have crushed me if it wasn’t Abayomi.

When Toun opened the door and I saw his
idiotic smile smile satisfied with his booty call, I
abused him.
Me: na so konji catch you reach
Abayomi: no be you kidnap my girlfriend
Me: Jafar sends his regards
Abayomi: people in Ikenne send theirs
Me: Toun, how far?
Toun: where you the one standing by the door?
Me: oh, you noticed, I though you didn’t?
Toun: I did, I was hoping it wasn’t Isaac, he is
fond of eavesdropping when Abayomi comes to
sleep over
Me: who is Isaac?
Toun: Landlord’s son.
Abayomi: I have to go now
Toun: ehen now, you have gotten what you
came for.
Abayomi: oya lets go to my house. Spend the
night
Toun: I can’t leave my friend
I brought out my tongue, Abayomi ignored me.
Me: so how is Timi?
Abayomi: he is at a Annie’s place. He fell sick on
our way back. Malaria I guess.
Me: he will be sleeping there?

Abayomi: lool…why is that your biz?
Me: I am just concerned
Toun and Abayomi laughed at me.
