Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 60
I met Emmanuel waiting for me
at Ibere street by Ngwa road. He
looked all dressed up and ready
for the night. He’s really a cute
guy who carry this ‘can’t hurt a
fly’ physiognomy. He certainly will
be the last person you’ll suspect
if found in a crime scene. We
immediately boarded a taxi and
sped off towards Azikiwe road
via Mosque street. He asked the
driver to make a stop at Azikiwe
by Mosque junction to enable
him make a withdrawal at the
ATM but the driver said he could
not wait and so Emmanuel paid
him off. We entered one of the
banks located at that junction
and right there Emmanuel made
a withdrawal of twelve thousand
naira. ”Wow, so dis guy get dis
kain money to waste in a single
night?” I reasoned with a
bulging eyes while keeping my
thoughts to myself in order not
to spoil the show. I was
prepared to watch him all
through the night. I needed to
know more about him and what
he can do. It will be a night that
will surely decide if the bridge
between us will be destroyed or
not.
.
He waved down a ‘keke’ when
he was done with the
withdrawal. He asked the driver
to take us to City Global Hotel (aka
Anaba-Anaba). It was a reigning
hotel at that time and so got
many patronizers. The place was
beaming with activities with a
live band performance. There
were guys with big and shiny
blings seated close to our table
and some of them spoke in
‘janded’ accent (all those I
wanna, gonna tinz) which made
me conclude they must have
returned from ‘away’.
Emmanuel ordered for two
bottles of Heineken while I
requested for a bottle of small
Guinness stout. I purposely
ordered for that in order not to
make him feel bad. At least, my
order will give him the
impression that we are on the
same page and so push him to
act out his mind. While he gulped
his drink, I called Mike and openly
told him my location and who I
was with. It was a calculated
move to make him come to the
knowledge that someone, a third
party, is aware of our outing.
This will make him to cancel any
evil plans he may have conjured
against me. I’ve heard stories of
friends betraying each other for
rituals and I don’t want to make
the statistics.
.
I was gently sipping my drink
when he drew my attention to a
group of girls parading aimlessly
on skimpy clothes.

”Spain, how you see doz babes?”
Emmanuel asked with this evil
smile on his face.
”Hmmm, they’re here to enjoy
themselves na,” I answered
wisely not trying to be the first to
bring up sêxual discussion by
addressing their seductive
appearance.
”Nna dis night no go just waste
like dat o! Man suppose use one
babe shine kongo. How you see
the matter na?” he asked again
in an attempt to discern my
stance on the issue.
”No be lie sha. E for make sense
but as we no come carry our
babes come na, there is nothing
we fit do,” I explained while
giving him the much needed
‘greenlight’ of sharing similar
sêxual urge but with no idea on
how to satisfy it.
”Dat wan no be problem. Doz
gals dem be night-shift
‘workers’, so na to just call
them,” Emmanuel spoke with
some level of satisfaction.
He waved to the girls and one of
them immediately marched to
our table. He asked her if she
was already hooked up but she
said not yet. Emmanuel also
inquired if she can arrange one
of her friends for me as well and
the girl answered in the
affirmative. They bargained for a
price and finally settled at three
thousand and five hundred naira
each for the night. She got up
and walked back to her friends,
spoke with them for a while and
then walked back to our table
with one other girl. All these
while I was just reasoning many
things in my mind. How this
seemingly innocent guy is
displaying such unimaginable
trait. How on earth did I not pick
this latent sick character all these
while I’ve known him.
I was still in thoughts when he
interrupted with the words ”Guy
abeg drink make we carry diz
babes go find hotel,” and so I
quickly gulped my drink to half
empty, stood up and told him
that we are good to go. We left
City Global around 10pm and
walked to Okigwe road where
we found a hotel that collected
two thousand and five hundred
naira per room for the night. He
paid for two rooms and handed
me the keys to one of them. The
attendants handed us some
toiletries. I had already secretly
collected the money meant to pay
my own ‘runs girl’ as soon as we
left City Global. I’ve heard
numerous stories of how these
queen of the night embarrassed
their male customers who failed
to meet up with the agreed fee
and so I don’t want to be a
victim. From the little I’ve
witnessed so far I no longer have
an iota of trust on Emmanuel.
The guy might decide to run
away in the morning leaving me
to be dealt with by an angry
ashawô – Aba brand for that
matter.
.
We climbed the stairs to our
rooms which were perfectly
opposite the other. With shaky
hands I unlocked my room while
the babe followed behind almost
immediately.
