Unedited

Kilahi swallowed hard, the gun pressed against her forehead. For a fleeting moment, she regretted coming over. Maybe she should have come with the police. Wasn't God trying to send her a message? Why was a gun pointed at her head then?

Mercy burst out of the house, having watched the scene unfold through a hole in the window. "Ladi, please put the gun down!" she exclaimed.

"Look who is out," Ladi sneered, his eyes fixed on Mercy.

"Mercy, go back inside!" Kilahi snapped.

"No, Ma, I can't," Mercy replied, her voice trembling. "It's me he wants, let him take me and leave you, Ladi... This isn't you, it's the drugs working, you're better than this. I sure say you smoke that rubbish!"

"Shut up!" Ladi barked, his grip on the gun tightening.

"Put the fucking gun down! I know say you dey mad, but you no mad reach this level!" Mercy snapped, tears streaming down her face.

Kilahi spoke up, her voice soft and gentle. "Godswill, put the gun down. You're not a murderer."

"God'swill?" Mercy asked, wondering who Kilahi was calling by that name.

"You don't know me," Ladi snarled.

Kilahi managed a weak smile. "God knows you, before you were born, He knew you. He knows that someday you'll come to know Him, and He can wipe your sins away. Godswill, why not give Him a chance?"

Ladi's expression faltered, and he fought back tears.

"Jesus is the way, the truth, and life," Kilahi continued. "Let Him change your ways, allow Him to show you the truth because the devil has lied to you for far too long. Let Him give you a better life than this because you're dead, dear. Romans 6:38, for the ways of sin is death, and Jesus Himself has come that we might receive life and have it more abundantly. More abundantly, Godswill. Just drop the gun down and let us talk amicably."

Just then, a lone tear trickled down Ladi's cheek. "Please," Kilahi begged. "Put the gun down!"

The sound of approaching police officers interrupted the tense moment. "Put the gun down!" Garba shouted from behind, flanked by uniformed officers training their guns on the group.

The men attempted to speed away, but Garba fired a warning shot into the air. "Fuck, fuck, fuck!" Capricorn slammed his hands against the car in frustration.

Ladi's eyes darted to the police officers, his gun still pressed against Kilahi's head. "You brought police to us," he accused, his gaze shifting to Kilahi.
