Must Read: Memoirs Of Dying And Living

Ben cut in “not b4 ur telling us where black soul is hiding out”. Chido looks at Ben but kept his mouth short. Ben obviously looked physically upset, his tired eyes where red rimmed and twitching.

A large vessel stood plain out on his forehead and he had worry crease line running hide and seek all over his face.

They were all obviously in a stalemate.

The discussion had stagnated and someone needed to take the initiative. Chido then spoke up “we want to know about black soul but we will be patient and clear the air on how we met Cynthia and how she tried to kill us”.

Cynthia tensed on hearing that while Boneface gasped with surprise.

Chido narrated what happened in the bus and how they were robbed, how they escaped by killing two of the robbers and how they were shot at. When he was done talking all eyes turned to Cynthia.

Her group was now obviously tense, it was palpable. They were scared all thru the narration. Cynthia had known Boneface for ages but as well as she had known him, she also knew he was unpredictable.
She knew he was a hardman without exceptions. She had seen him gut a supposed friend once so she was scared cos if anything was to transpire here and now she and her girls would be at a disadvantage cos they were in Boneface stronghold, at his mercy.

She knew that, he knew that, her girls knew that, Ben and Chido also knew too. As her girls figdeted the more Chido asked her to try to relax to them saying “I don’t think Ben holds that against u guys and neither do I.
If we talk this thru this sad issue would not have to escalate. Tell ur ladies to relax, we mean them no harm. Boneface nothing happens to this girls atleast not until we hear their side from the beginning”.

Boneface looked at chido and smiled again saying “I said I liked u when I met u. I meant it, u have a clear way of thinking and ur reasoning is quite sound. No wonder Ben doesn’t joke with u. I agree, if Cynthia can come clear on the whys it will help. We won’t have to touch em if they do”.
“…..an if we can’t make u guys believe us what next….” Cynthia asked and then continued without pause “……would u make away with us?”

Boneface spoke with a smile on his lips but his eyes were dead of emotions “u just have to come clean first them we’ll see”.

Cynthia bows her head briefly turns to her comrads as the all touched her shoulders in silent solidarity then she started talking slowly at first. Her words came out almost soundless as if she was talking and no word were heard. She spoke slow initially and then the words starting flowing with gusto, running as if what was hold it back had been removed.

She told em “I received a call from Tinaso Timpreye-Eleme a.k.a Idahosa about a package he badly needed. He wanted me to secure it for him”.

She looks at Boneface saying “u remeber Tinaso the Niger Delta militant who later became one of their warlords after his Principal was killed in a police shot out. U remeber he made billions from oil bunkering and then from that usless amnesty programme the government setup 4 em. Well he is now going legit. He now runs one oil servicing company among his other businesses, he is also now fully into politics and was just elected to represent his constituency in abuja”.
