She laid on the bed while i was still on my
seat……..

Me: Seems you are tired

Me: What happened?

SK: Nothing…don’t worry, its not something
you should worry about

Me: You can talk to me now..a problem
shared is half solved

SK: Sincerely, i didn’t know how i found myself
in this mess

Me: Which Mess? What is it……

SK: We heard that one of our babe was
dropped this evening

Me: Dropped?

SK: Killed jhoor..are you this lame

Me: Ahhh…..what happened?

SK: Its one spanner lost jare…we are living a
life of fear on a daily basis and it can happen
to any one of us…..

Me: Why don’t you opt out? What led you to
this in the first place

SK: Opt out? Its not as easy as you think jare
except if they are ready to free you of which
you can be free totally, they will always be
coming back to you when you are needed, why
do you think Mary has to come back even
when she already got a baby and should be
thinking of settling down

Me: But out of no way, there will definitely still
be a way..you can run to any other state now
and settled down

SK: while my school is still on?

Me: Are you guys student?

SK: yes of course now..I just rounded up my
spill over year here in Ekpoma, my parent are
in Lagos, am a microbiologist waiting for
NYSC mobilization, other girls are in other
departments, flaky on her own has spilled,
splash and i don’t even know what to call the
third one

Me: But how come? Mary didn’t finish from
your school now

SK: Yes…she did her diploma here so she has
been part of us ever since and never leave our
midst even when she got her admission to
LASU

Me: That is serious…but do you truly wish to
opt out

SK: I cant wait..am tired of this life jare…we
have treated so many people f--k up that we
are always scared of our lives

Me: Even if everybody is scared, flaky will
never be?

SK: Says who…the girl no get mind at all
ooo…na she be the coward among us sef,
forget all wetyn he dey do with you oooo

Me: You don’t mean it…..Are you also a lez?

SK: Lez? Ohhhh…we did it in your presence
abi? That is just a little of what we engage in,
what do you expect from us, we do runs, kill
for politicians and all sort…i just wish i can
end all this madness, i wish God can give me
another chance..
“I was stunned when she started crying”

Me: Stop crying SK……Everything will be fine,
just believe in God, pray to him, i know he will
definitely make a way for you and you will be
out of this mess

SK: How long will i continue to pray….have
been doing that over the past one year, i don’t
know what will be of my parent if i am killed

Me: Do they know about all this? Your spill
over year and all sort

SK: How will they know..if they tell them i live
this kind of life they will be stunned, they
don’t even know that i spilled, i do lie to them
that they have not cleared us for service

Me: That is serious…but i believe God will
make a way for you dear don’t worry…Do you
believe in God?

SK: Yes i do…

Me: Don’t worry, i promise everything will be
alright even if i die

SK: You that is expecting your death is also
telling me everything will be alright

Me: Yes because i believe you have a higher
chance than me…I believe you will scale
through but can you do me a favour?

SK: What is that?

Me:Can i get across to any member of my
family through your phone, at least for them
to know am still alive

SK: Are you crazy? What sort of rubbish is
that? Are you trying to take our closeness for
granted? You want to call them so that you
can tell them it was Mary that kidnapped you,
knowing fully well that Mary is at home so
that they can go and arrest her and fish us
out..Are you mad

Me: Am very sorry, i didn’t think about it to
that extent, you know i will never want to hurt
you now

SK: Who i be that you won’t want to hurt

Me: I think i like your kind of person, you have
a good heart

SK: What make you think so?

Me: If you don’t have a good heart, we won’t
be here right now talking to this length.

SK: If you say so…….

Me: What do you think about me?

SK: I think you are a good person; it was just
so unfortunate that you entered our net

Me: Thanks so much…can i give you my mum
and girlfriend number to help me get across to
them when am killed, so that they can locate
my corpse and give me a befitting burial. You
can lie to them that you got their number on
my phone or somewhat?

SK: What if they now asked how i got your
number?

Me: You will call them with a new sim now
and destroy the sim card immediately you call
them so that they won’t be able to trace you

SK: That’s a better idea and i might be able to
do that for you but don’t worry yourself, we
already have most of your family members
number

Me: How did you get them?

SK: Have you forgotten that Mary has once
been your wife

Me: That is true oooo……

SK: But i have an idea for you if you can be
able to cooperate with me

Me: Idea about what?

SK: I can kill you before we kill you officially

Me: Kill me ke? What sort of idea is that?

SK: What i mean is that, i know drugs i can
administer on you that will make you
unconscious and totally paralyze you for some
days, i will try to convince babes that you are
dead and no need to gun you down already, i
will talk to them to let us dump you in a bush
then you can find your way when you wake up.

The only concern is that you have to promise
me that you will never come back to hunt us
down and you have to run away from the eyes
of Mary, maybe travel out of the country with
your wife and never come back for a long
time. I know if you come to hunt Mary, it will
affect me so i will need your promise that if i
should manage to safe your life, you must
safe mine too……..You know i have lot at stake
than you if i should try and do this for you

Me: If its possible like that, i promise to abide
by your rules..i promise you, i will never be in
touch again or try to revenge

SK: Okay..No problem, i don’t have the drug
here, i will need to go to warri on Monday to
get it, and come back, i must be careful cos
girls must not know about this….

Me: Thanks so much dear…..I don’t know how
to repay you dear….

SK: keep your repayment and safe your life
