"Of course you should know that I don't just have big head for nothing. Na sense full am. We go sell those two women for two million naira each for Oga as soon as he arrive here tomorrow. He call me for phone say he no go fit come here tonight. Before then,the two women go need to work with us on how we go take capture Barrister Rebecca because I think say dem go fit recognise her" Kay money declared to Skipo who who was busy starring at him disdainfully.
"You been dey make sense all the while but how you take sure say dem go recognise Barrister Rebecca?" Skipo questioned.
"My instinct na im tell me so. I follow my mind most of the time. Just keep calm. We go sort am out." Kay money gestured to Skipo, a sign to follow him to where Alhaji had been standing.
"How is evrytin? Make I still relax?" AIhaji asked anxiously.
"AIhaji, no worry yourself. I have told you that we can handle it. We have done more risky operations before without any trace but eem...eem... AIhaji, you will have to add money o. The initial amount you mentioned was just too small to carry out our operation based on the fact that there are lots of risk attached to it." Skipo chipped in.
"Kai. No wahala. I get am for plenty money. I go give you ten million naira, walai" Alhaji assured them.
"No Alhaji, we can't take such amount of money. We are three in number now to carry out the operation. If it was just our initial agreement, then, we could have accepted it" Dragon declared.
"How much you go wan collect?" Alhaji asked.
"Na fifty million naira we go collect" Dragon stated without hesitation
"Haba! Dragon, why you dey do am for me like this? Okay. I go pay you fifteen million naira. Gaskiani" Alhaji announced
"No, Alhaji. If e no be thirty million naira, we no dey do. I don't think you realize the risk behind what we have done and what we are about to do. If you can't pay thirty million naira, forget about it. You can ask someone else to do it for you" Dragon said with a note of finality.
Skipo walked towards where Gloria and Chioma had been standing previously only to discover that they were already seated. This got Skipo infuriated and he made no delay in slapping them both.
"Una no dey fear! Una dey mad? Una even get mind with liver to take sidon!!! ! He yelled at both of them. The two frightened women quickly got on their feet before he could finish his sentence or slap them further.
"Now, there is a way out from this lion's den that you are if only you will cooperate. If you refuse to cooperate, that means, I will have to kill both of you and bury you at the backyard anytime soon. Una dey hear me so?!" Skipo yelled at both of them. His voice almost pulling down the roof from the top of the house.
"Y...es...sir. Gloria and Chioma replied in shaking voices. This time, Dragon and Kay money joined them wielding two sharp machetes, tossing them up and picking them up in a dangerous and fearful stunt.
"I believe you can see that we are not joking here. Huh? Can you see?" Skipo roared again.
"Now, do you know Barrister Rebecca?" Skipo asked. Before they could respond, Kay money moved closer to them and hit the flat side of his machete on their heads. It hurt Gloria and Chioma so much that they had to moan in pain.
"Una no even fear. Will both of you kneel down now! Una Papa dey talk, una con stand like mumu on top of us. Una dey maaaad!" Dragon stressed his words, using his left hand to demonstrate how mad they are.
"As I dey talk before our oga come around, do you know Barrister Rebecca?" Skipo asked once again. This time, he lowered his voice and bent down to stare directly into their eyes
"Do you?!" He yelled at both of them.
"Are you both deaf? Kay money hit them again with his machete. It hurt Gloria and Chioma but they had to stifle their moans and endure the pains to avoid being beaten mercilessly.
"Yes. I know her" Gloria replied in no time. She would have loved to deny the fact that she knew Barrister Rebecca but she couldn't. She had to say the truth and be set free at least for the sake of Chioma and their families. She just had to say the truth as she sensed it was the only chance they had to be released from their bondage.
"Sebi I tell you say she go know Barrister? I talk am say my mind no dey deceive me" Kay money said, grinning from ear to ear.
" You are going to lead us to her house right now. Okay? Skipo commanded.
Okay sir! Gloria responded with tearfully eyes but quickly rubbed the tears off her face for fear of being beaten more.
"Operation don land. Dragon, prepare the SUV wagon ,and let's go out to carry that bastard" SSkipexpressed further.
"As your lordship pleases sir." The dragon stood erect, pushed his chest afront, and raised his palm to his forehead in mock salute like a young soldier
