Must Read: The Devil Who Loved Me

He had a face that would have been called
handsome if not for the numerous scars. He
was smoking a stick of cigarette even though a
big sign said “no smoking”..
The other guy sitting next to him had his eyes
fixed on Toun. I was scared shitless…


Me : Hello, i dont know you…
Eli : No vex, you fit call me Eli..
Me : Nice to meet you
We stood up to leave..my heart was beating
fast, i hoped he wasnt gonna stop us..
Eli : una don chop finish?
Toun : yes we have…
She rolled her eyes at him…
Eli : Sit down small make we yarn as brothers
and sisters…
Toun : No thank you…
Eli : if una no sit down now, i go empty this
Machine for una belle…abi u dey crase?…
Toun became very humble, i quickly sat down
along-side her..
I looked around the cafetaria, the place that
was filled up was now empty..i was shaking….
Eli : Tana, you go need step down. you and
Abayomi
.i go check am today but him no dey
Campus..but you go tell am say i don discuss

Me : I will discuss with Abayomi.
Eli : People dey always say, Eli like wahala…Eli

Me : okay…
Eli : The SUG president go be National..We don
gree teytey
..tell Abayomi say make him no believe say we
no fit get am o
..and you yourself…nowhere to hide..
The lady running the cafetaria came with a
plate of fried beef and dropped it carefully
infront of him..
Me : can we go now?
Eli : Not yet…
He and his other guy ate in silence….i was
wondering how long it would take for Jafar to
come or send his peeps, i eas freaking out..but
then i realised it would be dangerous for Jafar to
come, Eli might just take his revenge..
It was around 2pm when he stood us and
commanded us to follow him outside…His Black
BMW was packed beside the cafetaria, his
colleague whom he called Orisa ushered us in…


Me : where are you taking us to?
Eli : Lol…no fear..
The story about his Molest escapades flooded my
brain…
Me : Eli, allow us go…i will discuss with Abayomi
about stepping down..
He ignored me, instead he lit up another
cigarette and drove out of Mini-campus…



He continued driving in silence, Orisa rested his
head on his chair, sipping a bottle of London
dry gin..
I got a text on my phone…it was Jafar….
Jafar = I am behind you guys…dont be
scared…


Fool! i was scared for him more…
Me = He has guns, Jafar dont worry, he wnt
harm us…but he will kill you…
I hoped the text i sent to Jafar brought him to
his senses….
Jafar = dont worry…
As if on cue, Uche’s Hillux overtook Eli with
Uche driving and Scanty by his side, while
Through the side mirror, Jafar’s Benz was
directly behind him…
Eli noticed Uche’s Hillux, he looked at me and
smiled… Toun was completely petrified…
Eli : your people have come for you abi?
i didnt answer…Uche was slowing down on
purpose…Eli couldnt move as fast as he
wanted.. He picked up his phone with his left
hand dialled a number and put it on speaker..it
was Jafar he called…
Eli : howfar Jafar?
Jafar : Eli…
Eli : na because of these jews you dey follow me
like this?
Jafar : Doz girls na my people…
Eli : You don bam them?


Jafar : Eli , free those girls…
Eli : and if i no free them?
Jafar : We go murder you for this town…
Eli : Lol…you no fit na…before i count 10, if you
and Uche no commot for my side i go scatter
Tana head….
Jafar remained silent…
Eli : you dey doubt me abi?
Jafar hung up….
Orisa brought out his pistol and placed it on my
head….
Uche swerved to the right, allowing Eli have the
road…through the mirror, i saw Jafar back
down…



Eli started whistling as he drove us towards
Ijebu-Igbo.
