Chapter 66b

Chapter 66b

Few minutes later, the police arrived and they were led straight into the building by Henry, followed by the TV crew. They were surprised to have met so many people with Andy, the TV crew captured the scenario all the same...)

POLICE 1: what is going on here?
CHARLES: oh inspector Chukwuma right?
CHUKWUMA: yes...
CHARLES: I am Barrister Charles Unigbe, I was the one that called you earlier asking if you're already on your way...(Extending a handshake)
CHUKWUMA: oh...nice to meet you...(Giving Charles a handshake)
CHARLES: here are my Colleagues...(Pointing) Barristers Lekan Davies, Tade Alesh, and Sunkanmi Alder...and here are Stanley Achibong, Kola Olafioye and Kurt James all FBI agents.
CHUKWUMA: (surprised, he shakes them all)...nice to meet you all...well, sorry, but I'll have to cut short your little meeting, I'm here to arrest Mr. Andy Silva....
LEKAN: but of course...do your job Inspector.
CHUKWUMA: (turns to Andy)...Mr. Andy Silva, you're under arrest for the murder of one Teluwo and some other count charges...you're hereby advised to remain silent....
ANDY: you Bastards! Just pray I don't get out of this, if not I'll come for your heads one by one!
CHARLES: that is clearly noted.

(Andy was taken away in handcuffs and as he steps out of his guest house, some reporters who have heard about his arrest walk up to him asking questions, but he refused to answer them as he was led into the police vehicle.

Meanwhile, the group of visitors that Andy just entertained walks out of the house behind him, entering into their various cars as they drove away.)





Kurt, Stanley, Kola, Lekan, Charles and Amode all seated in Kurt's suite.

It’s almost one o clock in the afternoon, Kurt calls the kitchen from his hotel room, telling them to serve their best dishes and bottles of wine to him and his guests.

Afterwards he excuses himself to make a quick call...)

KURT : hello?
RECEIVER : sweets...are you guys back?
KURT : yes Dear...
RECEIVER : how was it.
KURT : don't worry I'll give you the download when you get back...are you busy?
RECEIVER : em...I'm just leaving the court now. What's up?
KURT : can you come over to the hotel? Uncle Lekan is here and I want you to meet him. I don't know when he will be going back, you know he's not predictable.
RECEIVER : hmmm...okay. I'll be right there. Just give me some few minutes. I'll just drop my files in the office and come there straight.
KURT : alright.
RECEIVER : I love you.
KURT : love you too...(Hangs up and walks back to the others where they gist...)


KOLA : (talking to Lekan)...Uncle I just loved the way Andy looked when he heard I was Teluwo's son. He didn't believe it.
AMODE : hmm that was one secret you all kept very well. Even I had no idea you were his son till you all brought me a script.
KURT : sir, we hid it from you because we don't want you to tell us not to do this.
AMODE : haba...I can't. You all were seeking for justice. Andy had to be exposed. Imagine what he will do if he becomes the governor...
STAN : of my state for that matter!
KOLA : (laughing)...that was why we hid it from you sir we're very sorry.
KURT : yes sir, we're sorry. It was a secret between Uncle Lekan, Kola, Stanley and I.
CHARLES : oh Lekan told me...
LEKAN : yes I did...
CHARLES : he had to. Because I was wondering why Kola was so involved and tenacious with the whole thing.
(They all laugh..)
KURT : Uncle it’s so good to have you back here...(Hugging him)..I've really missed you.
LEKAN : (laughing)...look at this old man talking like a little boy...
KURT : seriously Uncle...I hope you're not going back to Australia?
LEKAN : is there a job you want to give me here?
KURT : but Uncle is it that you already got yourself a wife over there and you don't want to tell your adopted son?
KOLA : that will be good news Uncle, is she white?
LEKAN : (shaking his head)...Kola, you can't change!
STAN : he can't! But seriously speaking Uncle, you need to remarry.
CHARLES : hmm....you all should tell him. It’s what I've been saying for the past 4 years.
LEKAN : Uncle Amode here did not remarry, so why should I?
KURT : ha, Uncle, remember he was in jail o?
AMODE : (smiling)...Lekan...
LEKAN : (turns to Amode)...sir?
AMODE : you have to remarry. Look, it’s necessary. You need a companion.
LEKAN : hmm...(Sighs)...before I found Sola, it wasn't easy you know. I wanted a wife that shared my vision, that shared the same opinion as I do, that reasons the way I do...I wanted a woman that sees life and situations the way I do. That was why I went for Sola....
CHARLES : yet you were wrong. She didn't see life the way you did that was why she cooperated with Sunkanmi, remember?
LEKAN : hmm....
AMODE : you see, in life, we do not always have to give specifications about what we want in people. Fine, you can wish for it. But If you use those specifications to search, the devil will give you exactly what you want, but in disguise.
LEKAN : hmm....
AMODE : I'm sure you were really disappointed when you found out that the woman you thought you knew ended up being someone else. So my advice to you is to just pray for a good woman, one that will make you happy, don't put down a criterion.
LEKAN : okay. I'll put that into consideration....
KURT : please do Uncle...oh I've not told you the newest development in my life....you know I had to allow you settle down yesterday, and we went out very early this morning...
LEKAN : what's the news?
KURT : (smiling)...Bukola and I are getting married.
LEKAN : really!
KURT : yes Uncle.
CHARLES : wait, the same Bukola?
KURT : yes Uncle Charles.
CHARLES : the girl in the video?
KURT : exactly.
CHARLES : wow...I've not met her?...(Looking around)
KURT : she'll be here soon.
LEKAN : wow...I can't wait to meet her.
KOLA : what's going on with the food Kurt? I'm famished for God's sake...
KURT : they're bringing it.
STAN : that's true...please let them serve some snacks first...person dey hungry here o...
KURT : call them to do that Stan, I need to go and get my Babe.
KOLA : haha...Bukola does not know the way up again?
STAN : this love people sef...(Going to make the call)...
KURT : Uncle please excuse me. I'll be back....(Leaving for the door)
KOLA : na wa for this Kurt o.
LEKAN : (laughing)...if only you know how much Jide has been fantasizing about that girl? Look, he watched that video almost everyday.
KOLA : na wa o...
STAN : I'm so happy Andy is down...
CHARLES : if only Tade and SK had being here, this celebration would have been complete...
LEKAN : Tade can't celebrate anything with his daughter in jail, you know...
CHARLES : that's true...
LEKAN : and Toyin happens to be Sukanmi's God daughter...
CHARLES : I see...too bad...

(Few minutes later, Kurt walks in with Bukola...)

KURT : Uncle, here she is....(Pulling her towards Lekan and Charles)...Bukola, here are my Dads...Uncle Lekan(pointing)...
BUKOLA : good afternoon sir...(Kneeling before them)
LEKAN : come, come...(Standing up)...our long awaited wife...come and give me a hug.
CHARLES : ...Jide, you know good thing o.

LEKAN : (hugging Bukola)...how are you?
BUKOLA : I'm fine sir...(blushing)
KURT : ...this is Uncle Charles...(Pointing)
CHARLES : (extending a handshake)...how are you dear?
BUKOLA : fine sir.
KURT : and this is Baba Amode, Januri's Dad, remember Januri.
BUKOLA : yes. Good afternoon sir...(Kneeling before him)
AMODE : is she the same girl that came to the prison to visit you then?
KURT : exactly sir...so you remember her?
AMODE : of course...(Turns to Bukola)...how are you dear?
BUKOLA : very well sir....(Standing up)
LEKAN : you're looking even better than you looked in the video..
BUKOLA : (smiling)...thank you sir...I've heard so much about you.
LEKAN : hmm mm...he told you how I smacked him every time he's looking at your picture, abi?
BUKOLA : (turns to Kurt)...no o...(Laughing)...he told me how much you took care of him.
LEKAN : hmm mm....are you sure that's all? He didn't tell you I had to seize your picture from him for all the 5 years of his study?
BUKOLA : (surprised)...no he didn't.
KOLA : (laughing)....you mean he was love sick?
KURT : haba nau Uncle, don't say this in front of everybody nau...
LEKAN : you don't want them to make jest of you...(Turns to Bukola)...look my dear don't break his heart o, if not you'll have his death hanging on your neck.
BUKOLA : no I won't....(Holding Kurt)...I'm crazy about him too.
KOLA : abeg don't let somebody's head start swelling here o...
KURT : (hits Kola)...get away from here...
LEKAN : I trust you...

BUKOLA : no.
KURT : okay...we'll all have lunch here.
CHARLES : so when is the wedding?
KURT : Uncle left to me I'll get married today o, but those formalities....
BUKOLA : (turns to Kurt)...Mum said she'll be coming to Nigeria in two weeks.
KURT : oh that's good.
LEKAN : Jide...
