Must Read: Memoirs Of Dying And Living

After a few minutes mamba moved away from the group he had been having a heated discussion with. Walked over to Chido and said “if u wanted a a job there was no need speaking to Lawrence. Chido nodded but replied “I badly needed money to finance a birthday bash for Grace”.

Mamba nodded and replied “I know, Lawrence told me but still…..if u want a job for easy cash. U speak to me and no one else”.
Chido replied “ok”.

Mamba continued “……besides this stuff Lawrence told u is not about money but integrity. Yes we would be paid but it’s more than that. We have a leak in out organisation and that leak has to be patched.

Chido replied “Lawrence told me about another job in ph too.

Mamba rolled his eyes and replied [B] “all cos of organising a birthday party for Grace. U could have come to me to borrow some cash”. Chido replied “thanx but I would prefer making my own wad”.

Mamba looks him in the eye saying “I respect that. The stuff in ph is almost done. We could send any of the small boys to go round things up there. It doesn’t need a mademan like u to get involved”.

Chido replied “how much does it pay me if I go. I need all the money I can get”. Mamba surprised him by saying “not much only if u are specifically requested for. Like I said the job is almost done. We have the stuffs”.

Chido was so disappointed it showed on his face. He left mamba feeling dejected.

U can imagine his surprise when on the morrow he stepped out of his HOD’s office after submitting his last term paper for the semester in preparation for their exams when he saw a missed call from Blackmamba on his fone.

On calling backmamba he was told “Chido things have changed in ph. Ur presence is required after all. Some small misunderstanding came up with another group, their was some shootout and some of our boys are injured. In order to prevent bloodshed there was a request to send older hands to come and assess the situation and advice if it calls for war or if clear heads can prevail and settle the issue reasonably”.

Chido replied “I will go. Who else is there and what else am I to expect?”

Mamba replied “Ben is flying into ph today to join u. Tonie decided since u worked well with Ben the last time that he should aid u”.

Chido smiled cos he had missed Ben these past 9 months. “It would be nice to meet a familiar face” he thought.
“When do I leave?” Chido asked.

“Best u leave now. So u pick Ben up at the airport this evening” replied mamba.

Chido packed fast. He took Grace’s car keys cos Grace had briefly travelled to Newyork for see her cousin who recently gave birth.

Then he set off on his way to ph.
