THE COFFIN MAKER

EPISODE 98

Ginola gets the things his boss instructed him to get and he goes back to the place he was standing. The boss sips the champagne he had in his glass, smiles then take the container which contained “the ancient black diamonds”, he turns the cover of the container then pours the content of the container onto the white napkin and immediately he did that, everyone in the study held his nose and the beaming smile on the face of the boss vanished. From that very moment, the room went mute for over 5minutes before anyone spoke.

Sheikh Nazir:

Allah ne rahama (God have mercy), what is this? If this is one of your jokes you better put an end to it before blood spills on the floor. Did you call me over here so you play pranks on me? Your better stop that crap before I dirty myself here. If you don’t know me well go and ask about me in Saudi, I cut the throat of a human-like I am slaughtering a sheep or goat.

Karl Simpson:

Albert, don’t tell me you called all of us to this place to make fun of us?

The Boss:

(raging with anger) Ginola I will peel your skin off your body, what nonsense is this? Why have you chosen to disgrace me this way in front of the people who respect me so much?

Ginola:

Boss please this is the package that guy came to drop and he gave me the instructions to hand it over to you without checking the content in it.

Albert:

You are a very big fool to say that Ginola, so what if it was a bomb that was in the container? Is that how careless you can be after my father spends fortunes on you idiots, dad gives me the power to fire this so-called bodyguards of yours because as far as am concerned they are as useless as the word useless. Now did you take the information about the person who came to deliver this nonsense to my father?

Ginola:

No please, you know my job doesn’t give me the chance to fraternize with people so I didn’t take any information about him. The moment he mentioned Julia I knew that he was a genuine person and anything he came with was intact.

Sheikh Nazir:

I believe you are not planning to tell me that, the young lady has duped us? I told you this money is the very last I have saved and am not ready to lose it to anyone. I will not…….

The Boss:

(cuts in) Shut your mouth over there, another word from you and I will pull your tongue from your stinking mouth. Do you think you are the only one who invested money into this business? Now you fool, come and clean this mess up and summon all your colleagues who are on duty this morning here and I mean right now. Albert get me a bottle of whiskey.

Albert:

But dad your doctor has warned you from taking whiskey when you are angry or your pressure will go up.

The Boss:

Youngman you better do as I say before I channel part of my anger on you, when did I appoint you as my medical advisor. If I want someone to advise me, do you think you qualify to be that person?

Karl Simpson:

Calm down my brother, screaming won’t solve the problem, I think there is a mix up somewhere. Let’s first get in touch with Julia so we know the next step to take.

The Boss:

Karl do you expect me to be calm after this humiliation? Heads must roll and I don’t care if there was a mistake or mix up somewhere, how the hell must that fool bring into my house a smelling stool from another man in exchange of a package I paid thousands of dollars for?

Karl Simpson:

Junior did you see the guy who came to drop the package?

Albert:

Yes I saw one guy who was sitting at the hall earlier on when I came to get my charger at the hall.

Karl Simpson:

So can you make him out when you see him?

Albert:

Certainty Mr Simpson, I was even telling the guards that his face was looking familiar but I couldn’t remember where exactly I knew him from.

The Boss:

(pacing up and down in the study) With my heavy security, some stupid fool could penetrate my perceived tight security and drop my fellow human’s faeces for me to inhale. Hahahaha, where are this fools I pay huge sums of money who do nothing over here.

Karl Simpson:

Alberto please take it easy because you know if you overwork yourself out, your blood pressure will shoot up and it will take the intervention of the doctors and several medicines for your pressure to come back to it’s normal state. I have been trying my brother’s lines but they are not going through and I don’t have the local line of Julia also so I could retrieve some information from her.

Ginola:

Boss we are here with the exception of Stubborn who is using the washroom.

The Boss:

(in a calm voice) So what do I pay you idiots for? Have I ever delayed for a day in paying you your salaries? Don’t I give you fools periodical allowances and bonuses? I always perceived I had a formidable security detail but I have only seen today that your acclaimed tight security is porous that someone could break through easily and present to me the feaces of another man.

Trouble:

Boss I wanted to check the content of the package when the guy entered the compound but he mentioned to me that the content of the package was highly classified and confidential that you were the only person who could check what is in the container.

The Boss:

Are you listening to the nonsense you are vomiting from your smelling mouth? I keep asking myself why I pay you fools, as my son said, so what if the content was a bomb? I have to relieve you fools off duty so I recruit credible people to work for me because I can see you people have lost it now.  I have spoilt you with money which has made you lazy now.

Ginola: Boss please give us some few days for us to comb every corner of the city to fish out that guy for you.

The Boss:

There he goes again giving promises he can’t fulfill, when someone molested and assaulted my son were you able to get that person? Your name Ginola or whatever must be changed to the name King Promise. I am giving you six days starting from today to get that idiot for me or honourably relieve yourself of duty before I open my mouth.

Albert:

Trouble, go and check the footage from the CCTV camera for this morning and get me the information you get. We will comb every part of the capital city to get that fool who had the courage to deliver this shit to my father, it’s high time I prove to everyone that am truly the son of my dad. I will personally take the search mission as my own because, in the absence of my dad, I am the one in control.

Karl Simpson:

That’s the spirit junior, I love it when you talk like the real man that you are. This is the son your dad wants to see in you.

The Boss:

I want that fool before me in six days my son, I am putting my trust in you and bringing that idiot before me will erase the doubt I sometimes have about you if you can take over when am no more.

Albert:

You have my word father, I will bring that fool before you even before the said time. All I need from you right now is your blessing.

The Boss:

You already have my blessings and I want you to know that am solidly behind you in anything you do as far as my business is concerned so go all out and get me that idiot. Even if the need arises for you to kill anyone who has a hand in it, don’t hesitate to pull the trigger. Now go to work since the clock has started ticking.

Sheikh Nazir:

So why is no one saying anything to me, as to when I am getting my diamonds or money? Someone should tell me something before I go bizarre, am I not talking…….

The Boss:

(pulls a pistol from his desk) One more word from you and I will blow your brains out with this pistol, are you blind or what? Do you think you are the only one in this mess? Do you know how much I and Karl invested in this consignment? My friend, leave my house this moment, I will call you when I get hold of the black diamonds and don’t you ever call or show your face here again until I have called you to come over. Now get out of my study with your over-grown hairy face, you can afford to purchase expensive diamonds but you can’t afford clippers or shaving stick. For that girl Julia if she is trying to doublecross me erh, she should start purchasing her preferred casket and burial gown that will be used to bury her.

Karl Simpson:

Alberto we have to go on the grounds so we gather much information as to whether Julia is in the country or back in the States. I will call our moles at both airports to see if she has filled any immigration forms recently then we know where we will start the search from. You know nobody steps on the tail of the viper and goes unbitten, don’t stress yourself because I will equally send some of my boys to my brother’s end so they gather some pieces of information from there for me. Please don’t stress yourself because we have seen much cases than this one in our line of work so relax, I will leave to my office now but please make sure you don’t start taking that strong whiskey. I need you strong and sound-minded so you don’t take any wrong decision. Ginola, tell my driver to get the car ready and that we are going to the office.

The Boss:

Thanks Karl, what would I have done without you in my life. You know what to say, when to say and how to say things that bring the waves of my problem down. I have heard every single word you said and I will so comply with it. (sees Karl off to the door )

 

In the Security Room:

Albert:

Hope you know how to operate this computer and you know where you can download this morning’s footage?

Trouble:

Yes boss, I know how to go about it and I will do just that.

Albert:

For that idiot when we get hold of him, I will peel his skin then mix powdered pepper and pour it on him then I will dry him on the scorching sun with his face facing the Sun directly. That idiot will regret coming to this house to deliver what he brought to us. Hold it there and zoom his picture in, when you are done I want you to print copies of his picture out then copy a short video of him and circulate it amongst your colleagues and myself.

Trouble:

Okay boss, I will do as you have said ASAP so that we hit the grounds very hard to dig him out.

Albert:

I simply can’t tell but his face looks very familiar like someone I have come in contact with but I can’t tell where exactly I know him.

Trouble:

Boss I also feel the same way about that guy but I believe after pondering a little about him I will get to know where I know him from.

Albert:

I will personally reward anyone who nabs this guy and bring him before me, mind you we need him alive and I must be the first person to be informed when you get him before my father is alerted. Do I make myself clear?

Trouble:

It very clear my boss, i will personally see to it that your orders are well followed and I will convey the message and pictures to the rest of the crew. (rises to walk out of the room)

Albert:

(calls Trouble again) Guy your job is on the line and don’t forget you have only six days at your disposal. If you are not able to get that fool, honourably resign on the sixth day and don’t show your face here in this house on the seventh day because my dad might do something nasty to you or any of the guys that show his face here. I wish you all the best of luck life can present to you guys.

 

Back at the Hotel in the States:

Bernice Ansah:

Mummy am feeling cold where am I and where is my brother and my father?

Akua Yankey:

Jesus Christ the son of Mary,  Adjoa Bernice did you just ask me where you are and where your father and bother are? Awww so God you haven’t forsaken me at all, after six good months my daughter has spoken her first words. Indeed God doesn’t rush to throw His stone when He takes it, you are indeed the mighty healing God who heals the sick for doctors to take the praise and money. What shall I say or render unto your name?

Bernice Ansah:

Yes I did mummy, please where am I because this place looks very nice but also cold and why all these praises and cacophonic gestures?

Akua Yankey:

My dear I have to shower praises onto the most High God, indeed this place is very cold my dear and we are very far from the house, to make it easy for you, we in America at the moment.

Bernice Ansah:

(surprised) America? As in the United States of America? What are we doing here or did we win an American lottery? Mummy please talk to me because I don’t understand what is going on here and please where is papa and bro Mike? I want to move but it seems my feet are very heavy and numb.

Akua Yankey:

My dear it’s a long story but I am grateful to God for His mercies over your life. You were knocked down by a septic car about seven months ago and we nearly lost you because the driver of the septic car took to his heels when he knocked you down, we were fortunate someone decided rush you to the hospital on time. When doctors examined you, they explained to us to fly you here so that you will undergo surgery and get well early. Your father hearing this from the doctor had to sell his parcels of lands so that we fly to this place.

Bernice Ansah:

(starts crying) So mummy does it mean I can never walk again? Am I going to remain cripple all my life? Please God intervene on my behalf so that things will change, I don’t want to be a liability to my family or anyone, I want to pursue my dreams in the future and be a mentor to others.

Akua Yankey:

Don’t be silly my dear, why do you think you are going to be a liability to us? It remains a sole responsibility for us your family to take care of you in any condition you find yourself so never for once think we will complain negatively about your health. I didn’t tell you earlier on but now I must open up to you, when the accident happened you lost your memory also and for the first time after over six months you spoke your first words today. I know our God who brought us this far won’t forsake us nor turn His back on us, our God is still in his miracle business so don’t worry or doubt for a second that your condition will remain the same forever. Today we will go for a physiotherapy exercise to see the progress of your recuperation peocess and I believe we will hear good news.

 

Back at Quincy Room:

Michael Ansah:

Guy

I earlier on told you that I have a phone here which has top-class information on it and you said you want to know what it entails.

Quincy:

I thought you will never raise this topic, well am all ears listening to you.

Michael Ansah:

Jack before I say anything to you I want you to promise me that this thing you are about to see or hear is only meant to be a secret between us, whatever your eyes or ears see and hear must never find its way out through your mouth because if you do murder will be the case. I know you are my best friend and you also have your best friend who also has his or her best friend, if you make a mistake and you tell anyone what has happened I can promise you we will meet and continue our friendship in the land of the dead. Bro if you know you can’t keep it a secret please let me keep my secret because the deaf and dumb people have secrets kept in their head for years and they might even die with it.

Quincy:

What is it that you have been beating about the bush for this long time, why do you see me as a rumour monger that you have decided to give me a long lecture before telling me something? My friend, start talking before I lose interest in what you want to say or show me.

Michael Ansah:

Guy I mean every word I said, please let what you are about to hear or see remain between us and this room. Now am connecting the phone to my laptop for you to see the content on the phone, please as I said let whatever you are about to see on the laptop screen remain in your head and for no reason must the content come out for your mouth. (connects the phone to his laptop and starts to go through the folders on the phone)

Quincy:

(becomes curious with one of the folder’s contents)

Guy wait let me check the pictures in these folders because I know the face of this guy. Oh yes, he is the elder brother of my co-tenant who has been giving his motorbike to us. His brother told him that he was going to see some business partners but since then no one ever heard of him again. Where did you get this phone from?

Michael Ansah:

Hmmmm am sorry to inform you that the owner of this phone is late, I mean he is dead.

Quincy:

(screams) Whaaaaaat? Dead? How, when and where? Guy tell me more because this guy on the phone had great plans for me, he travelled to this country not long before he disappeared and we have combed any part of the city to search for him but to no avail. His wife, a white woman has threatened to fly into this country by the end of this week if she doesn’t hear from her husband. Please tell me how you got the phone and where you got it from?

Michael Ansah:

Hmmmmm I saw the phone at an accident scene the day I was travelling to this place, the bus I was supposed to board was that accident bus but one foolish man double-crossed me so I couldn’t join that bus. Some minutes later after the bus left I got a land cruiser which was coming to Accra and I joined that car, halfway through the journey I saw a big flame of fire ahead of us, as we got closer we saw the bus I was supposed to board in a ditch burning. We in the land cruiser came out to see if we could help any of the passengers on board but we couldn’t because of the thick fire flames. When we gave up and were about to sit in our car, my leg hit this very phone, I took it with the intention of receiving any call that came through so I could break the sad news to the person who called so that they know the whereabouts of the phone owner and what has happened to him but no one called. That is how come I got the phone and surprisingly the owner of the phone was the one who double-crossed me for me not to get a space in that bus.

Quincy:

Awwww so sad, per your narration it means this man came to your village or around your village and he was travelling back to the city, I need to inform his brother right away.

Michael Ansah:

(holds the hand of Quincy) Hey man, wise up and sit your flat ass down. Do you want to involve yourself in police-related matter? The moment you tell his brother he will inform the police and immediately you will be apprehended as a suspect and kept in police custody until the investigation is over and as we talk, none of us knows when this investigation will be over. You better wise up and keep your mouth sealed for good, remember what I told you before connecting the phone to the laptop. To end that story about your friend’s brother, I read a message which to my understanding means the man came to visit his wife and children around my village if not in my village.

Quincy:

(holds his mouth) You don’t mean it Mike because that man on the screen was a pastor outside the country and we called him Mr morality because he always kicked against fornication and adultery. How did you read the message since the phone screen is damaged?

Michael Ansah:

Guy whatever you just saw is not what I had in mind to show to you because if this is a storytelling then I will call it the interlude. What you saw is a tip of the iceberg and to set the records straight the screen of the phone was perfectly working when I took it from the accident scene.

Quincy:

Don’t tell me you have naked pictures and videos of the man also because I can’t wait to see the nudeness of Mr morality?

Michael Ansah:

Ashawoooo, see what you are thinking? If you could remember, as I got to your place earlier on, I had an injury on my thigh and bruises on some part of my body.

Quincy:

Oh yes, I remember and Maabena even said she was the one who treated you at the hospital that night you were brought there. She even said something like you are the son of one diplomat and she wanted to take you to the police station because there was a bounty on your head as to anyone who brought information about you or your whereabouts. I had to persuade her for long that you were no diplomat’s son and that you were a son of a coffin maker in a village who was only trying to search for greener pastures in the city.

Michael Ansah:

So did you have to give my bio out like that?

Quincy:

Bro that was the only way she could buy into my explanation and I even had to show her pictures of us in the secondary school and that of our early days in the university before she believed me. Trust me if not that, like by now you might be in police custody or something serious by now, but what kept bothering me was why she said you are a son of a diplomat.

 

At the Boss Mansion:

Albert:

Daddy I have managed to get the picture of that idiot who came to delivered that nonsense. I have equally forwarded his pictures to all the boys who work under your command.

The Boss:

That is good news son, an happy you are taking after me gradually but I want that fool here by six days. On second thought I need him here alive so that he will tell me who sent him to come and ridicule me in front of my business associates just to embarrass me.

Albert:

Daddy, I will see to that and make sure he is brought before you in one piece. I will put a smile on your face once again.

The Boss:

 I have heard your son but if Julia is the one behind this also, I will cut her two breasts and fry it for her to chew. Anyone who gets or nabs that fool has a special package from me, now you guys should get to work since your time has started ticking.

 

Back at Quincy’s Room:

Michael Ansah:

You will get the picture clear after am done with my narration, as I said earlier on, what you saw on the screen is just a tip of the iceberg.  I came across an incident that night which was a matter of life and death, if you could remember you gave me the direction to your house the night I was coming here and your phone was also off for me to contact you. The taxi I chartered to your place developed a mechanical fault some meters away from here and as I asked the driver he said your place was not that far from here so I decided to walk so that I ask anyone I meet on the way to properly direct me to your end. After walking for some time I saw some cars driving to my direction on top speed, something in me told me to hide in the bushes along the road and another was saying I should stand but my instincts won that moment. I jumped into the bush and when the cars got to where I was standing previously, they stopped and some fearfully looking men in a black suit came down from the car armed to the teeth. For once I thought it was me they were even looking for but another car opened and a guy was brought out with his face covered and his shirt stained with his own blood. Whiles he was begging and pleading for mercy, the door of another car was opened and a man in his late 50’s or early 60’s came out of the car, he spoke for some time then took out a pistol and shot the young man severally in his chest and he dropped dead. All this while I had taken the phone I saw at the accident scene and I was recording what was going on.

Quincy:

Mike were you running mad? Why did you have to risk your life on something like that? So what if they saw the flashlight of the phone or even the phone rang as you were in the busy hiding.

Michael Ansah:

Thankfully the phone was on low battery so the flashlight was not working and I had placed the phone on flight mode by then, also because the headlights of the cars were on, I got a clearer view of them when I was videoing them. Unfortunately for me as they were about to leave the scene some ants started biting me because I was hiding behind an anthill they had created in the bush. I unknowingly made some noise and that called for the attention of those bad guy, the man who shot the young man ordered them to get me either dead or alive, so they gave me a very hot chase and equally fired shots at me, the phone fell from my hand and foolishly I turned my back to get it. One of the men shot at me and the bullet almost entered my right thigh but I had a big cut on my thigh.

Quincy:

It serves you right as you decided to interfere and meddle in something that didn’t concern you. So how did you escape finally?

Michael Ansah:

Hmmmmm my guy, that night I had a renewed spirit like a chicken who had escaped a Christmas raid. I managed to run to the roadside(highway) after dodging several bullets in the bush, I thought they will stop chasing me when I got to the roadside but giving up was not anything in their dictionary. They kept firing at my direction so I had no option than to jump onto the busy highway road where a lady managed to knock me down with her car. I pleaded with her to get me to the hospital as I laid down on the road and she was delaying but when she heard the gunshots coming our way, she had to put her lady lady things away and help me into her car, I think her side mirror had a fair share of the bullets that were fired at us. She drove like James Bond to the hospital and as we got there and the medical team saw the extent of my injury they requested for a police report before they commenced treatment on me. The lady saw how much I had lost blood and immediately told a lie that I was the son of one powerful diplomat in this country who was being chased by some bad people and should anything bad happen to me at that very hospital, the place will be shut down. With this threat, the doctor on duty quickly ordered for me to be sent to the theatre and before I was conveyed to the hospital, I saw some army officers in the hospital.

Quincy:

Oh I now see why Maabena was referring to you as a diplomat’s son. So what happened after the military personnel came over to the hospital or was it the bad guys who came to the hospital dressed that way?

Michael Ansah:

No it was the husband of the lady and his men, her husband was a senior officer in the army who had many people under him and if am not wrong, he might be a Colonel or Brigadier in the force. Well after I came back from the theatre I manoeuvred my way out because my instincts were giving me the signals that something bad was going to happen to me if I don’t abscond from the hospital. I stole someone’s(nurse) uniform and that was how I managed to leave the hospital easily without being seen by the bad guys or any hospital staff to this place.

Quincy:

Hey then God has really been good to you paaa oooo, you escaped death thrice on a role in the same day. Let me know how many lives you have got because you need to go and give a thanksgiving offering to God for the good things He did for you and has been doing for you. But you said the phone fell down when you were being chased so how did you get the phone back?

Michael Ansah:

Oh I got the phone the day we went out separately to test the cameras Julia bought for us. As I was taking shots of the beautiful environment, I didn’t know I had covered a long distance and when it came to mind, I realised I had gotten to the exact location where that young man was eliminated. Hmmmm, may his soul rest in peace anywhere he is now, all of a sudden something pushed me to enter the bush and after doing so and taking some nice shots over there, my leg kicked something on the ground. I checked and the phone was lying on the ground staring at me as if it knew I will be coming for it that very moment.

Quincy:

So where are the pictures or video recording you did?

Michael Ansah:

Shut up and give me a second for me to get the right folder, ah there we have it. (opens a folder on the phone and shows the content to Quincy)

Quincy:

(goes through the folder with undivided attention) Ah where do I know this guy, his face looks familiar though but because he is standing far am not getting a better view.

Michael Ansah:

Really? Do you think you know anyone on the screen? (continues scrolling through the follower)

Quincy:

Hold it there Mike, please zoom this very picture for me. Ah I said it, I know that guy and he is one of the guards I met today at Julia’s boss residence. That one in the grey suit was also present.

Michael Ansah:

Whaaaaaat? Did you say the two guys are the guards you met in Julia’s boss residence?

Quincy:

You heard me, I didn’t speak Swahili language to you youngman.

Michael Ansah:

If these guys are the guards of Julia’s boss then who is Julia’s boss? What does he do that he has employed guards to guide him or is he the man in the video recording I did? There are alot of questions which demands answers.

Quincy:

Bro why don’t we leak these pictures and videos to the police, we can get a reward from the police you know.

Michael Ansah:

You are not using your head, did you watch the video carefully? A man like the one on the screen will definitely have contacts everywhere in this country and if we try to snitch on him or leak his video, murder will be the case for both of us, the best alternative will be to contact Julia and get information from her. Whatever she tells me will inform our decision as to what we should do next.

 

The Boss Bedroom:

On Phone:

Karl Simpson:

Hello Alberto, are you still home or you have left to your new building site?

The Boss:

How do I step out of the house when my day has already been ruined, I might slap anyone who steps on my toes mistakenly. You know in Africa we believe when your day starts on a bad note then nothing good will come your way during the day. But for that Julia girl erh, I will crush her bones into pieces.

Karl Simpson:

That is why I called you my brother, please remain calm and don’t show your angry for people to see. If you could remember the proverb that old man gave us, he said “doing yourself like an animal to get the animal doesn’t mean you are an animal”. Patience conquerors mountain and the tailored movement of the lion doesn’t make him a coward, my boys are doing their best to get me the needed information. My daughter is calling me on my other line so we will talk later.

The Boss:

Thanks very much Karl, your wise counsel has brought our friendship this far. I will do exactly as you have advised, I will call you if there is any new development.

Karl Simpson:

Okay my brother, have a very nice day (call ends)

 

Back at Quincy’s Room:

Quincy:

Jack I hope Julia is not into any shady business because from the look of things am suspecting her of doing some illegal business.

Michael Ansah:

I doubt because the last time I questioned her on her job she said she was in this export and delivery kind of job over there, ah she is the one calling with her cousin’s phone.

Maame Dufie:

(on phone) Hello Mike, we have gotten the clearance and we are about to convey the corpse to the airport for us to be airlifted to Accra so please make provision of the hearse right away so that we will not be strained when we get to Accra.

Michael Ansah:

Consider your request done, I will be at the airport even before your flight taxis on the runway. Hope Julia is okay and calm now.

Maame Dufie:

She is hanging in there my dear, we will talk later when we get to Accra.

Michael Ansah:

Very well then, may the good Lord guide your steps and carry you on His eagle wings back to Accra. (call ends)

Quincy:

Hope all is well?

Michael Ansah:

Not really but we have a task to perform, please call Transition Funeral Home and make a reservation for one of their hearse to convey the body of Julia’s mom from the airport to their outfit. Ask them of their terms of payment whether they accept mobile money as payment and how much their services will cost. I want to wash down because they will get to Accra in an hour from now.

Quincy:

I will do that ASAP and get back to you immediately with the information I gather.

 

Back at the Village:

Oga:

Master this portion in the bottle is the most powerful chemical I have ever sold to anyone ever since I started doing this business.

Opana:

Your price is too high, when we spoke on the phone this wasn’t the amount you quoted to me so why the sudden change of price? I don’t want to believe that your price goes up when fuel prices also go up.

Oga:

Far from that sir, see erh this thing I have in my hand is a slow killer and the good thing is that when it mixes with water it dilutes fast and it doesn’t change the colour of the water. The whole of this country I am the sole distributor and if not for you, I would have sold it out to a different person double the price am giving to you so you decide to take it or leave it.

Opana:

You these Nigerian people have mouth papa, you can even convince someone to buy a painted stone and go and place it on his bed for the person to lie on the floor rather. All the same, I will take it and I hope it is effective as you say, now here is your money (deeps his hand into his pocket and brings out money to pay the guy)

Oga:

(smiles) I like doing business with serious people but mind you, when you are caught I don’t know you and we have never met.

Opana:

And who said I know you? My friend, give me the bottle and let me go, the bible says those who draw a sword on their neighbours equally will die from the sword.

Oga:

Excuse me, sir, what do you mean by that phrase?

Opana:

(walking away and talking) If you don’t understand go and ask your father. Nonsense

All this while someone was hiding and eavesdropping on the conversation of Opana and Oga.

 

Who could this person eavesdropping on Opana be?
