KEN’S DEATH

kpa kpa kpa was the noise coming out of the
room opposite the room he sat waiting for
Bills d Don, the noise was so much that he
felt so uncomfortable. He searched the eyes of
the two hefty guys who stood few meters from
him and knew something was not wrong
because he was deliberating on whether to go
and save whosoever was shouting or not. Few
minutes later, a girl walked out of the room
stark Unclad,she walked past him into another
room, he searched through the two guys and
he knew no one give a d--n. “The girl knew
no shame” he said to himself. How could a
young fair lady walk unclad so freely without
any iota of shame. Bills d Don stepped into
the room with two other guys and Gori knew
he was as shameless as the Lady, he was
claded in a yellow shorts and that was all.

Gori knew from the two guys look, Bills d Don
had had sex with the lady in their presence.

He stood up immediately Bills d Don got to
his seat.

“Afternoon sir.” He greeted with respect even
when he knew vividly that he was older than
Bills d Don.

“Ao far, guy. Sidon na” Bills responded as they
both sat on the Sofa.

“Thanks for the other day Sir. May God
continue to enrich your pocket.”

“No worry, guy.”

“Tony said you wanted to see me.”

“Oh yeah” Bills adjusted in his seat.

“OmoG, I want to tell you a short story”
“Go ahead”

“What if you have an ugly dog as a pet,
visitors scream at the sight of your pet, then
after a while, this dog started terrorizing your
visitors and neighbours , biting them and
killing their pets and children, even when you
put it on sale, no one wanted to buy it. what
would you do? Never forget the fact that the
ugly dog is your favourite.” He asked. Gori
reminisced on what Bills story for a while.

“I will kill it” he said looking straight into Bills
eyes. Bills guffawed. He loved Gori’s spirit, he
had a feelings Gori had a knowledge of what
he was talking about. He knew he really
needed to poison Gori’s spirit to get the
school’s greatest nightmare.

Gori,on the other hand, knew Bills was
referring to Ken, the portals told him the
previous day that even the VC dreaded Ken.

He thought of the rape incident and he felt
more hatred for Ken, he hurriedly gulped the
cup of beer infront of him not caring it
belonged to Bills. He sq££zed his fist in such
a manner that even the guys guarding Bills
feared he wanted to fight.

“I love your spirit, OmoG” he smirked. Gori’s
eyes were bloodshot and all he was thinking
of was how to kill Ken.

“You have to see the VC tomorrow.” Gori
looked straight into Bill’s eyes, he was not
ready to face the VC… He came into the
institution barely a week ago and he was
about entering a poop. Though he was afraid,
Gori was blinded by revenge. He cared less
about anyone and everyone, he wanted to end
the life of his nightmare.

* * * * *

Gori was sitted on a black leather chair in a
well furnished office, the receptionist had
offered him a chilled bottled water and he had
drank it almost halfway. He was scared and
nervous to face the school’s number one
citizen. An old age man walked into the office,
he was claded in a brown suit, he was in his
early sixties.

“Good afternoon, Sir.” He stood up and
greeted. The man responded and sat opposite
Gori. He waved him to sit which he did
abruptly, he was not comfortable sitting close
to the man whose eyes could pierce a
hardened heart, he looked so firm and he
never laughed. Rumours had it that he was a
saddist.

“Do you know why you are here?” The VC
asked as he scanned through Gori’s eyes.
“Yes” he responded firmly. He looked so
dangerous that even the VC was terrified.

“What is your name, course and age?” The VC
asked.

“Goriola Fatoyinbo. I am twenty years, I’m
studying English and Education, 100level.” He
replied.

“What fraternity do you belong to?” Gori kept
quiet, he was confused, he had never heard
such word.

“I mean, are you a cultist?” The VC expressed.

“No sir.” He replied
“Why do you think you can handle this
situation? Five reknown cultists and herbalists
tried doing this but they all ended up dying”
The VC explained, he liked the young man
sitting opposite him because he looked much
like his late son. The way the young chap
stared at him made him terrified.

“I will do it” Gori said firmly and stood up, he
left the office before the VC could sy
anything.

He got to the hostel and went of Ken’s corner
immediately, He opened his wardrope and saw
a packet of cigarette and a bottle of Chelsea
gin…. He lit the cigarette,dragged it and
puffed the smoke,he drank the gin until he felt
hot down his throat. It was his first time of
smoking and drinking such gin but he cared
less, he needed to think and he learnt smoking
and drinking helped a lot for thorough
thinking. He was casting his mind back to
what the VC told him about Ken, after
thinking for few minutes, he came into
conclusion that he must see how powerful
Kenneth was.

He la!d on his bed but could not sleep, Ken
came in few minutes later and perceived the
smell of alcohol and cigarette, he quickly went
to his wardrobe and noticed something was
amiss. He tapped Gori and ushered him to
stand up.

“Wetin dey smell for this room?”
“I no no o”
“Who smoked and drank this Chelsea drink?”
He picked up the gin bottle as he spoke
correct English the first time since Gori knew
him.

“Ohthat, I was the one” he smiled
“Why you go touch my property?”
“Don’t you touch mine” Ken felt defeated.
“See, no touch my things wen I no dey again
o” he warned.

“Ken, please, give me more gins and cigarette,
I need to get high… There is this Lady I’m
planning to visit tonight.” He said smiling.
“You mean you wan sample chick” Ken grinned
“Yes.”
“You sabi kpash?”
“Why not?”
“Na ote you be jor buh I go help you, carry the
babe come this room, I go sample am first
then u go finish the parole.” He said grinning
so hard.

“Ken, what’s that naw? OK, I promise to cook
concortion for you.”

“OmoG, I no need concortion, you no wetin u
go do, arrange one babe for me, I go give you
this room tonight.”

“No deal!”Gori knew vividly he was not
bringing any lady into the room but he needed
to get closer to Ken to know his weakest
point.

******
Gori was claded in a Knickerbocker and white
vest, the Knickerbocker belonged to his father,
almost all the clothes he brought to school
were his father’s, he called Tiwatope to notify
her that he was on the way, Ken sat on his
bed looking for a way to make Gori arrange a
girl for him.

” guy, wassup naw.”
“I’m going out, ken.”

“No carry any girl come this room or I go
report u o” he warned, Gori laughed at his
foolishness.

“No pee, I go rent hotel” ken felt defeated and
decided to resigned to his fate.
“The concortion nko?”
“Concortion ko, agbo ni” Gori replied and left
the room
