     Minister Wole Shina licked off the oil on his palms as he hurriedly grabbed his gin-filled glass cup and gulped its content. He snugged his friend, Chief Aberuagba as he sighted Jasper coming in with a black face cap rested on his face. The green bulb in the clubroom (Madam Kaffy's) offered little light with skinny girls dancing to the pop music being played, Jasper hailed the two, he finally settled on the brown sofa whisking the gin bottle from the table and gulped it down its throat.

        "Chief Chief, My Minister, I hail you! "   jasper shouted as he stood, leaping and raising his hands up in reverence of the two.
       
         "Jasper the one who scares, master planner of the highest order! Joko ko jaye ori e.  " shouted Minsister Wole Shina.  
    
      "Na you oh! Who am I without you, where's Madam Kaffy nah!"

     "She must be sitting somewhere behind those  counters counting money. That woman and money ehn. " said Chief Aberuagba as he beckoned unto a girl among the skinny girls dancing.

       " You know I thought you've hit jackpot and you've traveled overseas, "

       "Jackpot ke! I still dey where I dey, no elevation and success yet but   we've initiated a member last month sef and I'm working on a big deal. "
      
       " New member! You and these your  guys sha, what are you up to this time around sef.  "

         "No worries My Minister, you will soon see me in riches. You've not bring in any business deal this month. Is no one threatening you nhi? Don't you even need any live human. Kilo n happen?"

     "Jasper ma ma koba mi! I just want to take things easy, it's not long when Atobajaye was taken out, there's one proving stubborn sef. Let's still give him chance for now jare, baba hasn't asked for anything yet too." said Wole Shina as his bulging eyes rested on the bare laps of the girl beside the trio.

       "Just let me know, I need  to cut off his wings and clear him off like trash. "
      " Afi wing naa. " said Min., Wole Shina as he and his friend laughed hysterically.

         Picking up his cigarette pack, he lightened up one with a cigarette lighter he brought out from his pockets. As he sang along the being played music, he wondered what Chris Benson was up to.

          " He must be freaked out by now. " he thought .
     It was two days now that he  placed a call to the man. He had allowed his wife speak to him for some minutes. They had asked for a ransom of 20 million, half of the amount he received from the whites and it was certain he had more in his bank account as his savings.  

         "What is his problem, I could chop off  the head of his wife with a machete or gun her down at a flash. I am merciless! Maybe he needed chance just as Atobajaye does too. " he laughed then he was surprised when he saw the other two laugh along with him. For some minutes they kept on laughing or has Madam Kaffy buried a laughing gas in her club?.

        "Master planner, so what's the reason for the laughter? " Chief Aberuagba asked.

     Well only the ones who were filled and not wallowing in dearth and hunger could  laugh out loud and those who are at peace.

What do we have to say for those who has been restless for days?
Or for the one who act unconcerned and at peace all on pretence.

       Placing his left hand on the right duvet and his left hand on the reddish wig like one on a racecourse he hurriedly kissed her, she had her eyes closed and he could tell that she wals enjoying the moment, she had her manicured fingers on his neck and he wondered how she would feel if he let go of the I don't want this to end kiss.
      
          His heart wandered far away as it brought in reminisces of he an his beloved on the beach, how he ran his fingers playingly on her bikini, how they felt love surround them, watching them closely and beaming, how her eyes had excitement and joy in it, how his heart leapt even when he looked into her eyes, the feeling he felt when they kiss, it was different, one of a kind. He was certain he, being fooled by her was the reason for his actions and the secrecy. He wish he could stop himself from hurting her.

         Chris Benson cupped her neck  as he realize she retreated.
    She must have noticed I wasn't putting much effort or my lips went limp or something, he thought. He could see clearly the dissapointment on Lola's face.

        "Hey is anything wrong?" she asked as she picked up the clothes, grabbed her bag and stood.
         "Nope....you are going?"
         "What else do you expect? You seem lost and uninterested in this! " she retorted furiously.
         "Was just thinking of some things. "
         "Some things ? I think I've to leave. "
         "Nope, you don't have to. We can start all over again, "
         "This or what? " she laughed.
          "Yeah.....this, " he begged as he watched her took up her shoes and stomped out of his house, the door creaked.

       It was not his fault right? He felt strange like one who was doing what he ought not to do, his wife was kidnapped and all he could do was flaunt and flirt with another?
       
          "She caused it. " he said.

        Lola must have left the gate and living room opened as Chris Benson heard his name called angrily. He was certain this person was totally upset, he wondered who he has annoyed again. The sight of the man he
has never met and his wife's close childhood friend Tinuke Damijo sent fear to his veins.
        "Oh, welcome Mister I don't care if my wife is kidnapped, she has her life to live so do I also. " the young shouted, staring at him viciously.
   
        "And you are?"

        "Tobi Bernard. " Tinuke muttered, there was no doubt that she had cried out her eyes for they were as red as a raging  fire and her voice lost the bubbles of excitement and glee it has.

        "And you feel your wife's life doesn't worth those millions in your accounts! I never knew she was married to a man as cruel as you! " Tobi Bernard said, heaving heavingly

       "And I won't have you hurl insults at me in my own house! "

       "Now I know why Sammie hardly smile or laugh when l met her, she must have spent her life in misery while with you. Just this week!  You had better sort things out so Sammie can survive all this! "
 
         Chris Benson stood with his mouth, agape. The young mister was really fuming with anger and he wondered who he was and what relationship Samantha shared with him. He stood, appalled when he saw them barge out of his house as Tinuke stifled alongside the young man's threat.
