“I’m quitting, I am backing off!” He dropped
the cigarette on the floor and matched it.

“Goriola, you can’t back out now… Please…”

Sulaiman Olagbegi stood begging, Gori was
his last hope.

“My wife is squattering around, I can’t even
walk out freely… I need happiness… I can’t
go back to school either.”he lamented

“If you back out now, what would happen
to all you’ve laboured for? Why not just
finish this up and take the medal for doing
that… Gori, please. ”

“Excellency Sir, Green is a very complicated
and dangerous fraternity, you were aware
of what I went through before killing Jack.
You can’t underestimate the kind of power
they possessed. Now, come to think of it,
this people don’t even know the identity of
their leader for the past thirty year. If you
ask this person, he would say it’s a man, if
you ask another, he would tell you it’s a
woman.. See I want to travel with my wife
and start a new life in Canada. I’m not
interested in whatever this people does!” He
fumed, Sulaiman looked into his eyes and he
could only see a frustrated broken man.

“You don’t care about Ken’s revenge too? He died to save you, Gori.”

“…if only I had known, I would have
accepted EKSU admission offer.”

“If you quit now, it means those people who
thought they defeated Ken are going to
laugh at you. You will be defeated…” His
arms were akimbo

“Defeated…!” He looked into Sulaiman’s eyes,
he wanted to turn back the hands of time.

“Take this.” Sulaiman handed him a
newspaper.

“What a Bleep! Five girls? Why are they
linking their death to me!” He reread the
headlines and threw the papers into the air.

“They will keep killing innocent souls,
thereafter, linking their death to you, the
shadow.” He scoffled.

“Let them suit themselves!” He answered in defence.

“Check this out to…” He handed hima mother paper.

“D--n!” He flung the paper, got hold of a wrap of weed, lit it and took a long drag.

“I won’t spare their family!” His eyes were read already. He brought out a dagger, flung it in the direction of Sulaiman who was too dull to see his death coming, by the time he realised, the dagger had missed him with
just an inch.

“Gori, what’s that? You wanna kill me?” He said trying to recover from the shock.

“I won’t miss this if it was a green!” He smiled, Sulaiman clapped, the end of his
enemies were near only if he knew.

“They want to exhume the grave and bring
out my corpse as if I died at first? Silly
people with dumb skull.” He smiled.

“Sangoyode has hired trained detectives and
SARS oh… You know all these DSS too.”

“Even if he hired the Satan himself, I’ll kill
them all…” He said as he stormed out.

“John Anifowose, it’s been a long time…”

John sprang up, even the bodyguard in his
office was shocked, how did the short man
entered, he did not see him open the door.

“Who are you?” The bodyguard brought out
a short gun and aimed it at Gori.

“Don’t try rubbish with me, gentleman.” The bodyguard corked the gun but no bullet
was coming out… He pulled the trigger four
more times and nothing happened. He
dropped the gun and raised his hands in
defeat. He was expecting his death.

“Don’t worry…you’re not going to die
atkeast not anytime soon…” He brought out his dagger and aimed it at John, John knew
he was in for it, he had lose a son and now
it was his life.

“Go..go…Gori… I’ll do anything… This is my
chequebook and ATM cards… Do anything
you want with them… My ATM password is
4656.”

“We meet again… The first time we met, you
were after my life but now, I am the one
after your own life.” He smirked. “Oga, you and your bodyguard will have to follow me somewhere…” He stood up and headed
towards the door, the twomen followed
suit.

“But wait, you guys are thinking of raising
alarm when we get out there?” He laughed.

” no one can see or hear you you…”

*****************************************

“This shadow is doing a good job o or what
do you think? I’m a great fan joo.” One of the spectators said.

“But wait o, why is this shadow killing
everybody?” A badmouthed girl asked.

“Killing everybody ke?” The first guy asked.

“Were you not aware of the fact that he
killed five girls recently?” A fair skinned lady questioned.

“He was roped joo… Shadow will always
leave a note.” The guy convinced.

The policemen arrived in a white bus and an
ambulance, they got out of the van and
approached the corpse.

“God! Must there always be dead bodies and murder cases in this school every week?” A frustrated police officer asked. He picked up
the note and handed it over to officer
Jakande.

“This is John Anifowose, age 69, a member of the deadliest fraternity responsible for the death of a lot of students especially ladies. He died in my hands, all thanks to my almighty dagger#smile. 1 gone, 6 more Signed – shadow of the green. ”

Officer Jakande sighed, late Senator John
Anifowose was not a lecturer, what was
happening?.
