#OMNISCIENT_POV

Shocked and surprised at the sight of her Ex lover, Lisa freezes in disbelief.. This was the last thing she unexpected on a lovely morning like today and she wasn’t pleased to see Dave.

After a while, she gathers her strength and faces Dave asking him what he was doing here, Dave who was surprised to see Lisa here, quickly came up with lie to cover up his reason why he’s here in Tobi’s house.

Lisa What are you doing here?… How did you know I was here?

Dave Are you kidding? Do you know hoe worried your family are especially your father.. He was almost out of his mind when he heard you were missing..

He wanted to come here himself but I insisted I would come and find you… It took a while but I finally got someone who spilled the beans about your whereabouts… It turns out you’re in real serious trouble with a man named Jerome.. I heard you killed his brother and took something from him .. Lisa we have to leave now!

Lisa No.. I can’t.. Not now.. I’m perfectly fine.. Tobi has been keeping me safe.

Dave Tobi?… Who’s Tobi?

Lisa He’s the one who saved my life.. He’s been very good to me.

Dave Babe… Do you understand the gravity of the shit you’re in? Kenya isn’t safe for you.. We need to leave this instant.. I’ve already booked a flight that will take us straight back to England.. I promised your father that I would bring you back home safe and that’s what I’m going to do.. Your family are worried sick about you.. Please understand the emotional burden you’re putting on them.

Feeling touched by Dave’s words, Lisa begins to feel guilty for going MIA and not contacting her family, Just as she’s about to consider Dave’s plan to leave, Tobi arrives at the scene causing more tension.

He looks at Lisa and then looks at Dave, their eyes meet and it was evident that both men despised each other, Tobi walks over to Lisa and straps his arms around her waist, Dave who sees this goes ballistic with jealousy.

Dave Hey You.. Get your monkey hands of her white skin.. Who the f-ck are you?

Tobi What did you say you r-cist pig? I will show you pepper! This is Africa… You’re a long way from home.. It’s time someone taught you some manners and courtesy.

Lisa Please both of you should stop.. Please!!

Tobi Lisa.. Who’s this guy??

Lisa Tobi.. This is Dave.. He’s my….

Dave Boyfriend!

Tobi Boyfriend!? You mean Ex… I’m here boyfriend now.

Dave What!? Lisa wouldn’t do mingle with a stinking ape like you!.. Is it true Lisa?

Lisa ……….

Dave Lisa.. Is it true?

Tobi Come on Lisa tell him..

Lisa Will you both leave me alone!? God! Just let me be.

Dave Listen you ape!?…

Tobi Don’t ever call me that name, else I’ll going to show you how Kenyan men deal with r-cist men like you.. If you want to address me.. My name is Tobi Mingati.

Dave Tobi Mingati!?…. So it’s you.. Oh my God!

Upon hearing that, Lisa turns around and asks Dave what the matter was, Tobi who looks confused begins to wonder what Dave was planning, little did he know that the sly American fox had a terrible plan in mind.

Lisa Dave… What’s wrong.. Why are you talking like that?

Dave Do you have any idea who this man is?… He’s one of them.. He’s among those that kidnapped you.. He’s working for them.

Tobi LIES!! I’ll cut out your tongue.

Lisa Tobi… STOP!!!… Dave, this is ridiculous.. Tobi saved my life.

Dave Yes, that you did, but that’s all an act..

Lisa What!?

Tobi Lies… You dare speak falsehood against me?

Lisa Dave you need to explain yourself.. Don’t lie to me?

Dave Why would I lie?… The man that told me about this place also works for the same man as Tobi here… His name is Karanja.. He told me everything..

Lisa You know this Karanja?? Tobi.. Do you know him?

Tobi Yes but what this fool is saying is not true.. They’re all lies.

Dave Admit your faults fool!.. Ask him if he knows Jerome? Ask him?

Lisa Tobi… Do you know him?.. DO YOU?

Tobi (silently) Yes.. I do.

Lisa So you knew him.. Does this mean you knew about my kidnap before hand?

Tobi No… Honestly.. No.. I had no knowledge about your kidnap and I don’t work for Jerome.

Dave Oh please… Lying and denial is useless at this point… You work for Jerome and you kept Lisa here promising you’d get her home.. It’s been months since she was missing, if you really wanted her to get home, all you had to do was inform the British embassy here in Kenya or even make a phone call to her parents since she already has the number but you didn’t..

You’ve been fooled Lisa, he made empty promises to you… He was never going to take you home… He kept you here as a hostage, until Jerome got the ransom money from your father.

Lisa Enough! and how do you all these?

Dave I was with your father when he got the call from Jerome demanding for ransom… When I heard Karanja told me everything, I summed everything up, I was hoping to come here and beat the sense out of Tobi to tell me where you were but as luck would have it.. You were right here.

Tobi Lisa… Can’t you see this man is obviously lying? I had no dealings with Jerome?

Dave Lisa.. Didn’t you father said there were some mysterious group sabotaging some of his shipment?… Why don’t you ask your friend about his secret group POKAC… They’re the ones destroying your father’s shipment.

Lisa Is it true??

Tobi Yes but that was because drugs and cocaine were being smuggled.

Dave (laughs cynically) Ha, Ha, ha,… Jesus lord! Is there no end to your lies??… I supervise the shipment of Mr. Andrews cargo… Do you think a man of that status would allow his some thugs smuggle drugs here to Kenya!? No… There is no evidence of the drug as you claim… And even if there was any drugs.. The Custom officers would have spotted it already… Face it man.. You’re acts have been exposed.. Or as you say it in Africa.. The an-s of the hen has been exposed..

Tobi Lisa, listen to me.. I didn’t do…..
