Chapter 60b

Chapter 60b


(Meanwhile back at the hotel, Kurt decided to call Lekan)

KURT : hello uncle, there is a very big problem at hand right now
RECEIVER : what's the problem?
KURT : Lara has messed up seriously, she and Ken got Bukola kidnapped.
RECEIVER : what?!
KURT : yes uncle! She even asked the three kidnappers to rape Bukola.
RECEIVER : JESUS! Are you sure?
KURT : Uncle, those criminals said it themselves.
RECEIVER : I never knew Lara would turn out to be someone like that, after everything I told her, she even turns out to be worse than her father.
KURT : Uncle I'm perplexed, I don't know what to do.
RECEIVER : how do you mean?
KURT : I could beg Bukola to drop the case against her but we can't single her out.
RECEIVER : what are you saying? She will pay for her sins of course. If you could go to jail for a crime you did not commit, why then should we spare her.
KURT : Uncle this may not go down well with Uncle Tade. He has already asked me when I called him, if we can arrange a release for her, but I'm sure the police won't release her just yet since she's not cleared.
RECEIVER : so? what have you got to do with it? Are you the one holding her down? Or were you the one that told her to go and kidnap the poor girl?
KURT : well, Uncle you know how people are, they won't see it that way.
RECEIVER : if they as much as bother you about it, don't say anything to them. Let them call me up.
KURT : okay sir.




RECEIVER : hope Bukola is okay?
KURT : yes sir. She's even here with me, though she's freshening up.
RECEIVER : okay...but how did they manage to get her?
KURT : Uncle, she stays alone in her house, the one bequeathed to her by her father. She failed to get a gate keeper for it.
RECEIVER : you should do something about it.
KURT : Uncle, the situation before me now is something I'm not very sure I can handle alone, Uncle...
RECEIVER : you can, Jide. I'm sure you can...just keep me posted on what's going on.
KURT : (sighs)...alright sir, I sure will...(Hangs up)




(Tade got back to the house and busts into Nike's room shouting...)

TADE : can you see what you and your daughter have gotten yourselves into?! I told you people to leave Kurt and that girl alone, you didn't listen, now can you see...she has been locked up.
NIKE : (standing up from where she's doing her make up)...what are you talking about? What do you mean? who has been locked up?
TADE : who else? Your only daughter!
NIKE : what? Who locked my daughter up? What did she do?
TADE : oh you're asking me? Are you not in it together?...as if I knew she was up to something yesterday...
NIKE : I don't understand what you're saying o?
TADE : I said your daughter is in prison!
NIKE : prison? What for? What did she do?
TADE : oh...so you don't know?
NIKE : I don't know anything..
TADE : she got Bukola kidnapped and even told the kidnappers to rape her.
NIKE : what?!...are you sure it’s my daughter? Lara wouldn't do such a thing...
TADE : oh....she won't, abi?...stay there. You better start preparing what to take to her...
NIKE : wait...are you serious?
TADE : no, I'm joking...(Walks away from her)
NIKE : haa...can't you bail her out? My daughter can't do such a thing.
TADE : (turns to answer)…stay there....(Leaves her standing there and goes to freshen up)
NIKE : where's my phone?....(She gets her phone and starts dialing Lara's number but its switched off)....my God, is it true they locked my daughter up?...what is going on...(She thinks of what to do and calls Kurt)....hello?
RECEIVER : good afternoon ma
NIKE : come, what is this I'm hearing? That you and your girlfriend locked my daughter up?
KURT : Aunty, Lara walked her own way into that prison herself, nobody...
NIKE : (cuts in)...what do you mean she walked her own way? You better go and release my daughter if you don't want problem for yourself.
RECEIVER : Aunty, this is not in my hands. Lara was the one that got herself involved with the wrong set of people...
NIKE : what do you mean by that, you ingrate! After everything we did for you, you still went ahead and locked my daughter up...(All of a sudden she noticed that someone came from behind and snatched her phone from her)....haha!
TADE : (speaks into the phone)...hello...Kurt...
RECEIVER : hello uncle
TADE : please don't listen to her. Don't mind her...
RECEIVER : it’s okay Uncle.
TADE : (hangs up and turns to his wife)....are you crazy or something? So you want to start threatening him, abi? Instead of you to be begging him to release your daughter, you think your threat can do anything?....look let me tell you something, Lara's case is not in Kurt's hand now, it’s with the Nigeria Police if you don't know.
NIKE : so are we just going to sit down and watch my daughter stay in that prison?
TADE : I will not just sit. When it’s time to sleep ehn, I will also sleep. Because she's not the only child I have.
NIKE : you will sleep where? Not in this house! My daughter must not sleep in that prison today o!
TADE : take...(Writing out the address)...that's the place go and bring her out...(Walks away from her still holding her phone)
NIKE : won't you give back my phone?!
