Ep 55b



Meanwhile, Kurt is on the phone with Lekan...)

KURT : hello sir?...(Smiling)....I can tell you that your man is going down sir. Nothing will stop him this time.
RECEIVER : I saw the video on the internet immediately you told me to check...how did you do it?
KURT : that video was circulated on the internet some minutes before the second one was shown live.
RECEIVER : live? Which one is that?
KURT : sir, you know that one is quite old, people may not know he's the one, they may not recognize the culprit as Andy Silva, so we did a backup, where he himself proved to be the one in the video. I'll send it to you sir...
RECEIVER : hmm...very good. But where did you get the one on the internet?
KURT : we were lucky to stumble on it when we got in touch with the old man.
RECEIVER : you've done a good job.
KURT : I told you we'll get him and we did.
RECEIVER : let me know immediately he's arrested? I'm sure he can't run for the elections anymore...
KURT : I will let you know sir.
RECEIVER : okay. I'll be expecting the video.
KURT : alright sir. I'll get back to you and give you the updates.
RECEIVER : alright....how is Bukola?
KURT : (surprised)...em...sir...how...
RECEIVER : (cuts in)...you're surprised I know about her isn't it?
KURT : em...yes....but I...
RECEIVER : (cuts in)...I spoke to Lara too yesterday. Remember she told you that it was her father that wanted to talk to me?
KURT : yes sir...
RECEIVER : she's really jealous. Her mother has been putting some ideas into her head.
KURT : what ideas?
RECEIVER : never mind... she said Bukola has shown up and is taking all of your time... this and that...
KURT : (takes a deep breath)...Uncle, don't listen to her...do you know she actually went to Bukola's house telling her we're married and I'm only trying to leave my wife and son because of her...
RECEIVER : what!....Toyin said all that?
KURT : I'm telling you Uncle. And when I asked her to go back and renounce her statement she bluntly refused.
RECEIVER : hmm...look, you need to be careful and watchful. Nike has always been a woman of a questionable character and she has started telling Toyin some things that she shouldn't. So be very careful.
KURT : yes Uncle, thank you.
RECEIVER : you've not told me how Bukola is. You didn't even tell me you've seen her or that you're now together, hope you weren't thinking I'll scold you for being with the woman you've loved all your life...
KURT : Uncle no, it’s not that. She has not totally agreed to be with me. When I got here, I found out she's in a relationship already...
RECEIVER : just in a relationship...and you want to give up?
KURT : no Uncle...
RECEIVER : (cuts in)...never you give up on such a woman. Stan told me how much she loves you and still loved you even when you were in prison...Look Jide, a woman that can do such a thing is definitely one in a million. Never let her go.
KURT : thanks Uncle. I won't. She's all I ever think of...
RECEIVER : (cuts in)...hmm, before or after your supposed revenge?
KURT : (starts laughing)...Uncle, I'll give that a thought...
RECEIVER : alright...go back to your thing now, we'll talk later.
KURT : (hangs up and walks back to the sitting room)...hey Tunji
TUNJI : Yep....(Walking towards Kurt)
KURT : where are the rest?
TUNJI : on their way. They will be here soon.

(Then Kurt's phone rings again...)

KURT : hey Stan...
CALLER : hey Kurt...good job! Kola and I are on our way there.
KURT : alright.
CALLER : though calls have been coming in from different angles.
KURT : just cut off the line...tell all the staffs not to answer any questions on it.
CALLER : alright.
KURT : you guys should come over let's celebrate.
CALLER : we're on our way.
KURT : alright....(Hangs up...)
TUNJI : Kurt...
KURT : yes?
TUNJI : hope you're ready for anything...
KURT : how do you mean?
TUNJI : that anything can happen with what we just did. The TV station may be shut down...
KURT : I don't care about that. The reason for creating that TV station has been accomplished.
TUNJI : what! With all the money you spent on it? You spent close to a billion naira.... with the expensive equipment you bought!
KURT : forget it...what else?
TUNJI : the station may be sued.
KURT : sued? Wait, did you read your course well?
TUNJI : haha....why did you say that?
KURT : haven't you heard of something they call freedom of information? That was what Al Mustapha used to defend one of the charges leveled against him, don't you know?
TUNJI : hmm....okay.
KURT : don't even bother yourself with that, you're my company lawyer. Just get me names of the best lawyers there is.
TUNJI : yes Boss!...(Jokingly)





Meanwhile Andy is at his guest house perplexed...)

ANDY : I can't believe that I was set up...(pacing)…and I fell for it...that Bastard Amode...how did he do it? How did he manage to show our conversation live on TV.....wait a minute, I didn't even check which station had the guts to do such a thing to me!...(Picks up his phone and dials his wife's number and she blurts out before he could say anything)...
RECEIVER : thank God you called, people have been calling my line endlessly...
ANDY : (cuts in)...that's not why I called you...on which channel was the thing shown?
RECEIVER : that station you said your sponsor owns.
ANDY : what!....oh my God!...
RECEIVER : look, I don't know what to say to those people calling...
ANDY : (cuts in)...just don't pick their calls...switch off your phone...(Changes his mind)...no I may want to call you...just don't pick any other call except mine.
RECEIVER : okay. What will you do now?
ANDY : I'm still thinking of what to do.
RECEIVER : where are you? Do you need anything? Should I bring something for you...
ANDY : (cuts in)....I'm okay woman. Just stay with your phone, in case I may need to call you.
RECEIVER : okay.
ANDY : (hangs up)....damn it! (Hitting the table with his leg).....that bastard set me up! I should have suspected he’s up to something when he started showering me with cash…He set me up! I can't believe I fell into his trap...how could I have been so stupid!....I fell right into his trap....what the hell does he want to gain by doing this to me? He gave me so much money...so all those kind gestures were only used to lure me into this....oh God! I'm doomed!....what do I do now? Shown live on TV! Damn you!!!





Meanwhile, Bukola saw the broadcast on TV and immediately calls Susan....)

BUKOLA : Susan!
RECEIVER : Bukola, I was just about calling you now...
BUKOLA : oh you saw it?
RECEIVER : yes I did. Earlier on today the other video leaked on the internet and they asked all to look forward to 8pm tonight.
BUKOLA : I didn't see that o, I just stumbled on it.
RECEIVER : Kurt should see this...or maybe he has.
BUKOLA : what of Stan?
RECEIVER : he's been out since morning as usual and he said he'll be coming back late.
BUKOLA : okay...I hope he has seen it too. I never knew Andrew's Dad is so wicked...just imagine the way he stabbed the poor man from behind...
RECEIVER : he should be kept behind bars.
BUKOLA : I want to see what will happen to him after everything, let's see if justice will take its course or not.
RECEIVER : in fact, Stan's Dad also needs to see this.
BUKOLA : yes. He should know the kind of person that man is...anyway how's my Bernie?
RECEIVER : he's fine......
BUKOLA : alright dear talk to you later...(Hangs up and dials Kurt's number...)...hello?
RECEIVER : ....sweetheart...
BUKOLA : Jide did you watch the TV?
RECEIVER : em…the TV?
BUKOLA : yes....Andrew's father was totally unveiled...he killed a man many years ago...in fact someone wouldn't have known he's the one if not that he was captured talking to a man where he confirmed being the one in the video...it’s so pathetic...(Noticed that Kurt is not saying much)....you watched it, right?
RECEIVER : em...yes...
BUKOLA : what's going on there, what's the noise? Are you at a party?
RECEIVER : em...no...no...yes I'm at a party....
BUKOLA : Jide...
RECEIVER : hmm?
BUKOLA : is there something you want to tell me?
RECEIVER : em...we'll talk tomorrow. I'll explain everything to you.
BUKOLA : hmm mm?
RECEIVER : yes. I promise.
BUKOLA : okay. Good night.
RECEIVER : I love you...(Expecting a reply)
BUKOLA : (she hangs up without replying him)....hmm...(Chuckles)....why was he being so secretive...he's being quite secretive these days....anyway he said we'll talk tomorrow...let's see what he has to say...

(Few minutes after hanging up, she hears a knock on her gate...)

BUKOLA : at this time? Who could that be?...(She wears her flip-flop and leaves for the gate)...wait a minute could it be Jide? May be that's why he wasn't saying anything when I called him...he may want to give me a surprise, hmm....(leaving or the gate)






Few minutes later, Amos, Amode and Emma, show up at the hotel meeting up with Kurt, Stan and Kola in order to celebrate their partial victory...)

AMODE : Jide...(walking up to him)…
KURT : Good evening sir....(Prostrates before him)
AMODE : it’s so good to see you finally...
KURT : sir, I'm sorry I didn't show up before now.
AMODE : (cuts in)...hmm mm....I still don't know why you avoided me till now.
KURT : because you may end up telling me not to do it.
AMODE : you did nothing wrong. You were only bringing out the real face of Andy Silva. Someone like him should not be allowed to attain such a position as a governor. He will use that position to destroy lives.
KURT : I'm happy you agree with me sir.
AMODE : and oh, thanks for the hotel you kept me. Just look at me, I'm fatter and fresher now. They're feeding me like a sallah goat. It’s so good to see you once again.
KURT : (laughs)...it’s nothing compared to how much you've helped us sir...em....sir what of your son?
AMODE : hmm....(Takes a deep breath)...Jide, I don't know where Januri is. He has decided to become a stray dog. I've agreed with the fact that I've lost him...I don't have a son anymore.
KURT : God will touch his mind someday...
AMODE : I hope so...em please it’s getting late, I need to retire to my hotel, is there someone who can take me there?
KURT : don't worry sir...I'll tell them to prepare a room for you in this hotel for the night.
AMODE : ehn...this big hotel?(Looking around)... It will be expensive o.
KURT : don't worry sir....(He goes to the phone to tell the wing Supervisor to get Amode a room and goes back to him)....please sir feel comfortable and ask for whatever you need to be very comfortable. Then maybe tomorrow, we'll take you to the airport...
AMODE : no, not yet.
KURT : (surprised)...why? Don't you want to go again?
AMODE : I will go. But that will be after I've seen Andy in jail....and there's something I did not tell you...(Pulling him to a corner)...
KURT : what's that sir?
AMODE : Andy won’t get out of this.... you know why?...because the Senate President is Teluwo's cousin.
KURT : (shocked)...really?
AMODE : yes. He was accepted into the party because of Teluwo, you know, more like a replacement.
KURT : does Andy know?
AMODE : I don't know.
KURT : hmm...Because from what I heard, he helped boost Andy's chances of being appointed at a minister. If only he knew that he killed Teluwo...
AMODE : I believe Andy should know, the party Chairman must have announced his reasons for picking Ariode for the Senatorial seat.
KURT : that's true...I'm sure he won't fold his arms after seeing the video.
AMODE : even if he wants to fold his arms, family members will not allow him, so Andy is definitely going down this time.
KURT : (smiling)...he sure is.....alright, sir you should be very tired now. Once the room is ready, they'll come and get you.
AMODE : alright.
KURT : thank you again sir....
AMODE : I should be doing that...

(Immediately Kurt finished with Amode, he goes back to the others....)

STAN : Kurt, where's Uncle Charles?...or should I say our fake Tunji Adebayo...
(They all laugh)
TUNJI : that's true...let me finally see the famous Uncle Charles who assumed my name. He should be celebrating here with us.
KOLA : if only Andy knew that the person he thought was Tunji Adebayo is actually our Honorable Barrister Charles Unigbe...
TUNJI : (turns to Kurt)...but I still don't understand why you didn't just let me represent myself, I'm also good with stuffs like that, I can act very well you know.
STAN : yes, but you'd be looking too young for that role nau, haba, Andy will suspect some fowl play with someone like you coming in to help him....I thought Kurt explained to you.
TUNJI : yeah he did. But you know how the Boss is, he only gives you an explanation when he feels like it. I would have just loved to have fun, not just being the one to use my account to transfer the money to him alone....
KURT : (standing up to excuse himself)...the most important thing is that our plan worked. Andy Silva won't escape this....let me call Uncle Charles to alert him...(Dialing Charles number on his phone)....hello sir?
RECEIVER : Jide how's it going?
KURT : it was perfect sir. Are you in Ghana yet?
RECEIVER : yes. Would have loved to watch the movie...
KURT : (laughs)....I'll send you a copy sir.
RECEIVER : okay....and the old man? You've delayed him enough. Allow him go for his vacation now...
KURT : that's up to him. He was here some few minutes ago, he said he wants to be here when Andy's lies come out, and wants to make sure he goes to jail.
RECEIVER : okay.
KURT : we can discuss what next he wants after that.
RECEIVER : alright.
KURT : I'll get back to you sir. We want to celebrate our victory.
RECEIVER : alright.
KURT : have a nice trip sir...(Hangs up and takes his drink going back into the sitting room)...Barrister Tunji...
TUNJI : yes.
KURT : get yourself prepared we're visiting the best lawyers
TUNJI : definitely Boss.
