Must Read: Memoirs Of Dying And Living

The driver stepped on the throttle then and drove away faster than he had dropped em.

A few mins later they drove into the compound of a nice looking duplex which had a warehouse by the side.

Standing infront of the duplex was Lawrence.

He looked tired but quite good compared to the last time Chido saw him. He greeted them well taking them in with him as soon as they had disembarked.

Just like in Tonie’s place. Lawrence’s was bustling with activities. Ladies of different sizes were freely moving about. Lawrence walked them thru the labyrinth of easy fleshes.

He took them to an inner room where he feed them. As they ate, he started briefing them on what to expect. All thru the briefing Chido sat bewelded not really understanding but listening.

As Lawrence kept talking a brief impression stated to form in Chido’s mind. He started slowly understanding how things were run.

It slowly started becoming clear how important it was for him to survive. His fears slowly started heightening.

After briefing Lawrence let them to the large building by the side of the house and as they got in. Chido saw a very large line of very expensive cars and it all fell into place.

“4k ashawo”, said Chido “am way in over my head here. What am I doing here”?

After briefing Lawrence lead them to the large building by the side of the house and as they got it. Chido saw a very large line of very expensive cars and it all fell into place.

“4k ashawo”, said Chido “am way in over my head here. What am I doing here”?

It was now plain to Chido that Lawrence and his crew must be smugglers. While the other guys where busy looking at the cars admiring them and all. Lawrence walks over to Chido to speak with him.

Chido asked him “tell me u don’t smuggle those cars into nigeria” but Lawrence replies “we don’t smuggle them but rather make them available 4 nigerians who can buy em.

Lawrence continued “…..and believe me, there are Nigerians who can buy em”.

Chido asked him “so what would we be doing?”

Lawrence answered “delivery of high priced commodities. There are 3 teams, some would be going to lagos, others to benin, warri and ph and another team to Abuja”.

Chido replied “I still don’t understand”.

Lawrence told him “people make orders from these places and we deliver the goods to their doors. It’s that simple”.

But Chido knew nothing was that simple. “So what was the catch here”, he asks himself.
