SAVED Episode Twelve
(American Ghanaian Setting)
Janitor: (hears soft sobs coming from the drama hall) Where from that sound? It seems someone is in pain in there, let me go check out on the person since I am not behind my cleaning schedule. (enters the drama hall)
Richmond: (hears someone approaching) Who is there? I need help, please…
Janitor: (follows in the direction where the voice came from) Hellooooo!! Can you keep talking so I can find my way to your end. This room is dark and I can hardly see anything.
Richmond: (in a faint voice) I am close to the front roll, please, I am really in pain and need some medical attention.
Janitor: (rushes forward) What the heck happened to you, young man? You look very injured.
Richmond: (plays smart as he sees a ladder on the stage) I fell from that ladder.
Janitor: And what were you thinking when you climbed that long ladder on the stage? I hope you were not trying to commit suicide.
Richmond: Why would I try committing suicide when I am in the best of shape and everything in my life is falling into place?
Janitor: Then what were you doing climbing that long ladder?
Richmond: There is an upcoming drama project in this hall and in one of the scenes, I will be on the ladder, I came here to practice alone since I feared heights and I wanted to master courage before all the drama members converge here on the day we start to rehearse. Please can you now help me and tone down the questionnaire session?
Janitor: Oh sorry, let me rush and get assistance because I might touch or hold the wrong place and that might cause you something much more severe than what you are feeling already so let me get a health expert or someone qualified to attend to you. Please lie down and don’t move an inch, I will be right back.
At the Playground:
Wendy: (talking to herself) Where are you Richmond? I need to be on my way home as there is no car to convey me back home and I have to work on this very difficult physics assignment which must be submitted early tomorrow morning.
Ella: Well! Well!! Well!!! Lisa, who do we have here?
Melissa: Ella, can you do me a favour and tell me who we have here because I am not seeing any important entity here.
Ella: Oh I will do you the honours. over here is the over-ambitious and wannabe girl who wants to take your lover from you and also eyeing the cheerleader position.
Melissa: Oh I see!! So this is the bitch parading herself to be the girlfriend of my lover boy?
Wendy: Excuse me, ladies. Please what are you talking about? As you can see, I don’t know you and equally don’t have any form of business with you so kindly excuse me. (tries to walk away)
Ella: (pulls her back) What insolence and gross disrespect? We are talking to you and you are trying to walk away from us? You are not only a boyfriend snatcher but you are rude and uncivilized. Do you know who the lady next to me is?
Wendy: Obviously she is not God and she doesn’t have wings behind her to prove to me that she is an angel or any special being. All I can see is some two over-ambitious bullies who think they can throw their weight on me for me to suffocate but I am sorry you got the wrong prey this time around.
Melissa: Oh so she has equally got a loud mouth to run commentary with? By the time we are done with you, your face will be rearranged in a way that my lover that you are trying to snatch from me won’t even recognize you again when you throw yourself at him.
Wendy: See, I am trying very hard to restrain myself from any aggression this afternoon because you won’t like me when I descend on you two bullies.
Ella: (slaps Wendy from behind) Will you shut that big mouth of yours? We have been lenient with you from the start so you want to rock shoulders with us. now go on your knee before I break your left leg.
Melissa: Take it easy on her, baby girl. You know bitches always want to rock shoulders but in the end, when muscles intersect it is only then that force can be applied. When we are done with her no one will tell her to pay compliment to us. When the fowl picks a bone, the dog has no reason to be worried.
Wendy: (on her knees) What do you want from me, you bullies?
Melissa: Oh don’t create an impression to us that you are not only stupid and cheap but rather daft. You heard us say you are chasing after my lover and you are still asking us what we want from you? Does it look like we came to socialize or fraternize with you?
Ella: (hits Wendy from the back) I think hitting you the more will sharpen your memory. Now raise your hands as you continue kneeling you lousy idiot.
Wendy: I swear you two bullies will not get away with this.
Melissa: (gets angry) I was trying to be modest and diplomatic with you but since you are stupid and loudmouthed I will have no option but to put you in your rightful position. Ella give her some dose of what we are made of.
Ella: With pleasure, my beautiful cheerleader. (hits Wendy countless times)
Melissa: It’s okay my dear. This was only a curtain raiser so we don’t have to go deep.
Ella: Let me add four more slaps to her silly face so that she knows we mean serious business.
Wendy: I swear you girls won’t get away with this. I and my girls will come after you at the appropriate time and we will mercilessly deal with you two bullies.
Melissa: You better run for your life before I pounce on you and dismantle your shapeless body. Today we only came to announce our presence to you, the next time we show up, you will end up at the hospital with life support machines attached to your body. I can share a whole lot of my kinds of stuff with others but for the cock I enjoy, I won’t even share with my sister not to talk about a friend or any other lady. If you love life and want to pass through the four walls of this school peacefully, find for yourself a new lover. There are hundreds of handsome male faces in this school, my man’s face should be the ugliest in this school for you. Now carry yourself away from here with your two legs before I change my mind.
Wendy: You will hear from me very soon. My retaliation to you two will be more than you can ever imagine and I will make you beg me for mercy. You don’t know the foot that you have intentionally stepped on. (gets up and runs from the girls)
Ella: Lisa let me chase her and instil some sanity in her useless skull.
Melissa: Don’t bother yourself, Ella, chasing after her will only create a scene for people to start asking questions. What we did to her is enough, at least it will cause a rift between Richmond and her.
Ella: And if that happens, it will increase your chances of getting his attention more.
Melissa: Precisely so, my dear. Now let’s get out of here as we have had an awesome and exciting day in school today.
Ella: We have cleared every obstacle blocking our way in this school. First, it was Shantel Jackson and now this Wendy of a girl. We have dealt with the matter that concerns your heart and the cheerleader position in just a matter of hours. Indeed we are a solid team to reckon with in this school.
Melissa: I think now I should be making my intentions for Richmond known to him. What do you think about that?
Ella: Of course, since he is failing to come to the mountain, the mountain should go to him.
Melissa: Thank you very much for being there for me always. I couldn’t do anything without your support and motivation, you are my greatest cheerleader who always has my back even when I am wrong or I feel like giving up.
Ella: Hey I am not that kind of friend who will laugh with you and frown behind you. I don’t kiss and tell, and neither do I stab my friends in the back. You have stood in for me on countless occasions so the best I can do in this pressing time is to extend my helping hand to you also. I want you to know that, I will take a bullet for you if the need arises.
Melissa: (hugs Ella) This is one thing no one has ever said to me. Not even my brother or any family member has uttered this kind of words to me and for that, I remain indebted to you, my dear friend. You have won my heart and I will never turn my back on you so long as I have breath in me. As you have my back, I promise to also have yours for the rest of our lives. No matter what happens between us, you will always have a better place in my heart until the day my heart stops beating.
Ella: (wipes tears from her face) Enough of these emotional promises. Let’s get going for the clouds are gathering and the weather doesn’t look friendly.
Back at the Drama Hall:
Janitor: Please guys hurry up for that young man is in great pain.
EMT Officer: Don’t worry sir, we will take very good care of him and offer him every single assistance he will need before we get to the hospital.
Janitor: Okay sir.
EMT Officer: (drops his first aid bag and kneels) Young man, I will need you to stay strong as you furnish us with some vital information. My colleague here will take that information down so we forward it to the hospital, the information you give to us will help the team at the hospital to prepare adequately for your arrival. Please do well to stay awake throughout the period we will need the information from you.
Richmond: (nods his head to affirm his compliance support) Please help save me.
EMT Officer: Don’t worry, you are in safe hands, young man. I have been doing this job for the past 18 years so trust me if I say you are in safe hands and nothing will happen to you. Can you stand or walk?
Janitor: He can’t do anything, sir. As you can see, he is suffering from pain and the least you can do now is to allow him to cool off.
EMT Officer: We need to ask him some very important questions for his own good. At least we need to know where exactly he is feeling the pain so we know how to attend to him. Jake, put the stretcher down and get me my bag that contains the injections. Mix for me some 5ml pain reliever so I inject him before we put him on the stretcher.
2nd EMT Officer: Okay boss. (brings some syringes out and selects the right one as he mixes the medicine)
EMT Officer: Now young man, do you mind telling me where you are feeling the pain?
Richmond: Sir my waist and right knee.
EMT Officer: What happened to you?
Janitor: He fell from that long ladder on the stage.
2nd EMT Officer: Jesus Christ, boss I need to radio the hospital and let them get ready for an x-ray examination the moment we get to the hospital.
EMT Officer: Kindly do that right away and after you are done, help me so we put him on the stretcher. When we get to the ambulance, set a line and give him a drip immediately. I pray he doesn’t get any internal bleeding because looking at the magnitude of his fall and not seeing any physical injury, the problem will be an internal issue. (inject Richmond and after that, he is placed on the stretcher)
2nd EMT Officer: Please lead the way so that you help open the door for us.
Janitor: Alright sir. (runs to the exit point and opens the door wide)
Coach Ross: (bumps into the EMT Officers and the genitor) What happened to Richmond Gallagher?
Janitor: Sir he fell from the tall ladder inside the drama hall.
Coach Ross: And what in God’s name was he doing on top of that ladder?
Janitor: He is the only person who has answers to your question so please let me rush to the ambulance to enquire about the hospital that he is being taken to.
Coach Ross: That is alright but please make sure you furnish me with every single detail you are given by the medical team. I will be in my office as I try to get in touch with the principal. We have to inform his family right away so they know the whereabouts of their ward.
Janitor: Very well sir. (runs after the medical team)
Coach Ross: (talks to himself) Gosh!! I just awarded this boy the captain’s band and now he is injured to the extent that he can’t be able to train or partake in the upcoming inter-school basketball tournament. What a big blow it will be for the team, I planned building my team around this boy but now I must go back and strategize all over again. I have no option but to give the captain’s band to Glenn Smith and make him my arrowhead for the team.
Back at Jeffrey’s Apartment
Mrs Smith: Jeff you have really brought me back to my youthful age once again. It’s been long I had this much satisfaction to the brim, you took me to a different planet and navigated me back to Earth again in one piece. I for once thought I had passed that orgasmic vibration age but today you proved me wrong. I pray you don’t paralyze me before my husband returns because I will be here again tomorrow at the same time. When I get home, I will start work on your eatery so do well to also start drawing a business plan for the place so we know what necessary steps to take.
Jeffrey: I have already planned something but I will put it on paper for you to go through when you come tomorrow. Today, was a curtain raiser so prepare for something massive when coming tomorrow because I will be twice merciless.
Mrs Smith: My friend, I am not your age mate so don’t come and kill me in your bed. How many young ladies can stand the performance you gave? You should know it’s experience that I used in sailing through that long journey we travelled. Let me be on my way for my kids will be home by now.
Jeffrey: (smiles as he spanks Mrs Smith’s ass) I am only delivering on my promise and I want you to know I am a man of my word. I walk my talk and as you always say “If it must be done, then it must be done well.”
Mrs Smith: Jeffery, you are indeed a fast learner. All the same, don’t bother seeing me off for I don’t want people to start suspecting us because it won’t go well for both of us. (plants a kiss on Jeffrey’s lip as she gets her handbag)
Jeffrey: As you are still shaking and vibrating, please be safe and drive well to your house. Don’t let over-excitement get the better part of you for we have just begun the journey.
Mrs Smith: Naughty boy!!! (smiles as she steps out of the apartment)
