.......Seye was very paranoid partly because he had not gotten the money he was billed,he was so tensed that i began to blame myself why i wanted to get involved in what does not concern me.I knew i wanted to make up for the mess up of the other day during the football match but must i also put myself in danger?
I tried to calm him down but it was not working.
'omo u go need to cool down o,which time dem give you sef'.....i asked
'na lunch time o,i no no as i go do am o Jojo'..........he replied
'bobo take am easy o,i go see wetin i fit do,5k no be small money na '
'abi o,see me o and na ordinary greet i greet am o'.....
I made a mental note to bring up the subject with Makanaky because this was a clear case of misuse of power despite the fact that most of the confraternity preach against oppression yet they do the opposite.I was able to discharge Seye and assured him that i would do something about it ,i went to the bathroom to clean up and later to mammy market to get some breakfast.
On my way to mammy i checked Makanaky in the hostel but he was not in so i thought i would see him at our usual joint but after asking around for almost an hour nobody knew where he was.As soon as i joined the poker team i completely forgot about him and concentrated on my game.
The game was time consuming and since i don't eat the camp food i did not even notice that the bugle had gone for lunch until i saw Seye standing beside me.
I had lost good money and was just recovering so i was not in the mood for anything else but as soon as Seye stood beside me,i won 5 straight hands and with that my money was back in my hands so i quickly got up from the game and without thinking i turned to Seye told him we should go and meet them.
I saw the group of guys afar,i held my breath and told Seye to follow behind.
'ok ,u go bring Van damme abi?'.....one of the guys addressed us sharply
'No be like dat bros,i just came to beg on his behalf'.....i spoke up
'he tell u wetin he do and by the way who u be Jojo?'.........one of the guys asked
I was surprised he knew me,sensing this as an advantage..
'Forget who i be guy,the guy do mistake and i want make una soft pedal for am,abeg'......i pressed on
I noticed that everybody's attention shifted i followed their gaze and saw Twins approaching.
'wetin una de follow them gist make dem lieeeeeeeee down'......twins commanded.
I did not feel the kick but i felt myself floating on the air and smack the ground with a thud ,i managed to turn and Seye was already being kicked on the ground.
We were very far from the camp and surrounded by forest,my initial thought was to stand up and run but i knew that will spell doom for Seye.
I jumped up quickly as i saw Twins remove a small dagger from his bag............
Things were getting worse than i thought...........
