Shadows of the Green - Season 1 - Episode 18

☆☆ **********Since their reunion, Gori had refused to give
Tiwa a breathing space, he had a copy of
her timetable, they were practically a leave-in
couple. Tiwa’s mother, Mrs. Eyitope had
summoned her to her office one hot
afternoon.


“Tope, are you seeing a guy?” Miss.
Eyiwunmi asked immediately Tiwa took her
seat. She was her mothers replica, from
beauty to plumpy stature.


“Mum, is this why you called me? She
questioned staring at her mother.


” Will you answer my question, young lady!”

Her mother snapped.


“Yes, I have a boyfriend.” She said hiding her
face. She knew her mother, the great
Margret Thatcher.


“At your age? Just hear yourself!”

“Mum, I’m above eighteen.” She said in a whisper.

“Ki lo so?” Miss Eyiwunmi asked, Tiwa sq££zed her beautiful face .


“So because you are above eighteen, you
can sleep with everyone?”

“Sleep with everyone ke?” She was shocked,
she knew her mother perfectly well. The
thirty-nine year old woman could
exaggerate things too well. She frowned,
her mother was making her look like some
cheap s--t.


“You want to tell me you are a virgin?” Her mother searched through her face probably seeking for the answer.


“Mum, why am I here?” She asked. “See, I’ve EDU 234 o… Its Prof Makun’s course o.”

“Gori called me and asked me to warn you
about the guy you are seeing.” Tiwa was
confused, she knew Gori was always
avoiding her mother, how could he call her
to report her? She thought they had settled
their difference.


“You don’t know Gori?” Miss Eyiwunmi gave
her an askance look.


“I …know…”

“The VC!” Her mum cut in. She was relieved,
she thought it was her Gori.


“Mum, what is your relationship with that
man again?” She gave her a suspicious look squeezing her lips to the same side.


“He is the VC now, he came here personally
to warn me. He said the guy is a cultist. I
heard he killed Ken, Bileri and Dozie. I hope
it is not true sha.” Her mother said.


“Don’t mind anyone mum, my boyfriend is
caring and he cannot hurt a fly.” She
defended.


“Is he taking care of you?” Miss Eyiwunmi asked.

“Mum, don’t you see me.” She stood up and did a three sixty turn for her mother. “See my skin, see my weave. See my phone now.”

“Omo, you don hit jackpot o.”

“How are your alhajis.” Tiwatope spilled her mother’s most dreaded question.


“Tiwa, I told you I’m a changed person. I
want to lay a good example for you.” She
stared into her only child’s eyes, she knew
she had failed as a mother.


“Mum, take care.” Tiwa stood up.


“When will you come home?”

“You always want me far from you.” Tiwa replied as she stopped in her track. She
reminisced on how her mother had sent her
to the boarding house right from her
primary school till now. It gave her enough
room for all her escapades. Her mother was
speechless.


“Bye.” She said and walked away.


*****************************************

“Where are you coming from.” Gori
questioned immediately she stepped into
the room.


“Mum called to see her.” She said dropping off her blazer.


“Ugh… What for? Omo mummy.” He asked with arms akimbo.


“She said the VC told her to warn me to stop
me from seeing you. Seriously, I’m getting
worried.”

“The VC! See this yeye man!” He smiled
wearing his trousers.

“Where are you going to?”

“To see the VC.”

“Why? Is it because of what I said? Please,
don’t put my mum into trouble.” She
pleaded. Gori chuckled, he undressed
immediately and walked to her.

“Are you leaving me?”

“Why? Not even my mum can stop me. I’m
not leaving you.” She blew him a kiss.


*****************************************

The following morning.

Daniel and Gori were in the living room
playing PS, Dan was beating Gori who was
seriously vexed, Tiwa and Kay had gone to
school.


“Abeg, I no play again.” He said as he
dropped the pad.

“You no say I b boss na.” Dan replied
mockingly. Gori filled a glass cup with
McDowell’s. He gulped little and placed the
cup on the stool.


“Dan, how far with Kay.?” He asked.


“She dey now. She just dey disturb me. She
bin wan dey crash for here like Tiwa o.” He complained.

“Shey you like the babe reach DAT level ni?”
He asked ignoring his complain.


“Omo, I don dey love her o. D babe love me

“Ugh… I no even like that babe.”

“Why?”

“Nothing o.”

“You better like her. You know say I like your

“OK o.”

“How far about the Green.”

“I’ve started with their children now. I mean
their favourite kids. Two gone, five more!”

“Tuale!” He gestured raising his two hands.

“I’m still in the dark…. I want to know their leader..”

“Ask Oluwo now.”

“The man sef dey do anyhow. Power must
to change hands.” They laughed as they
drank.

Later in the Night.

Gori was cladded in a white shirt and black
pants, he knocked on the VC’s door but
opened before the old man could say a
word.


“What are you doing here by this time?” The old man asked trying to zip up his trousers,
the woman he was having a romp with was
adjusting her blouse too. It was such an
embarrassing scene.


“I think it is high time I changed this
secretary.” The VC complained.


“Why are you always like this? You’re always having sex even at your age. Don’t you get tired at all?.”

“Why are you here?” The VC asked as he headed towards his seat. Gori was already
staring at the VC’s mistress, he never mind
doing a married woman after all.

The woman was plump and got a nice behind.
He knew her face would be as beautiful as
her behind.


“Can I have her?” He said loosening his belt.


“Gori, she is not a young lady o.”

” Do I care? I wanna feel that behind! “He said as he spank the woman’s behind.

” she’s a … A… Staff! A security staff.”the woman who had her back against them
was already shivering..


“So old man, you don dey do staff again!
You no dey get shame!” He asked. “Look
here, young woman.”

“Gori, Kay is pregnant o… This babe wan tie
me down with this pregnancy.” Dan
complained as he was pacing up and down
the spacious living room.


“And you don’t want the pregnancy?”

“Not… Now…. Not really. I know say Badmus
no go accept me… You know say the mam
sabi me well well.”

“Don’t worry, I will see to it.”

“How you go do am.”

*****************************************

“Gori, please come o… I am I’m the school
clinic… Come along with Dan o…”Tiwa said sobbing from the other end.

“Calm down, angel. Wetin happen.” Gori asked in pretence, he knew what happened.

“Just come…..” The line went dead.
Few minutes later, Gori and Dan were at the
school clinic.

“I don’t understand Kayode again o…” Tiwa rushed to them immediately she saw them.

“What happen?” Dan asked worriedly, Gori was suspiciously calm.


“I don’t know. She went out to see someone and came back bleeding.” She explained.

“Hope it is not that Kay went ahead and
aborted my baby
.” Dan frowned.


“Is she pregnant?” Tiwa gave him an
askance look. Immediately Kay’s phone rang,
it was her mother. “Her mum is calling her
o…” Tiwa stretched the phone towards Dan,
she was confused.


“Hello ma… We rushed her to the school
clinic… Yes I am with her….” He ended the call.

“Who is Dan?” The chief nurse asked
immediately he came out of the ward.


“I am, MA.” Dan signified.


“She had been shouting your name since,
you need to see her now but please don’t
disturb her. She just loose her pregnancy so
please don’t stress her.” She said and left.

Tiwa and Dan rushed into the ward while
Gori calmly stilled behind them, he knew
what was going to happen.


“Kay….” Tiwa and Dan chorusly as they
rushed to her bed, she look lean and darker,
she looked as if she had been sick for ages.
She wanted to rise up, tiwa assisted her and
immediately she saw Gori face, she
screamed…. Flashes of what transpired
between them few hours ago came through
her mind. Gori had called her to meet him at
Rolek hotels far away from the school
environs for her phone without anyone’s
notice. He had promised her the latest
android phone and three hundred thousand
naira if she could make it down. She had ran
into the offer, she had always wanted to
have a fling with Gori in order to taste his
money and body. Tiwa had always been
praising his efforts in bed and she had been
longing to have such pleasure. When she
arrived at his booked room, they had series
of sex which after Gori handed her a cheque
of three hundred thousand naira. Gori told
her her father belonged to the Greens and
had wastes a lot of lives and he was
thinking if he should do the same. He had
told her to watch her back as her death was
near. He left her in the hotel leaving her
confused… She did not know what was
happening… She checked the cheque she
was holding and the name of the account
was Shadow of the Greens. She left the
hotel and it was when she alighted that a
girl told her she was bleeding. Did Gori used
her?

Her parents arrived few minutes later, She
could not talk again, she had lost her voice.


“Oko mi, what happened?” Kay’s mother asked Dan.

“Mum, I don’t understand. Tiwa called earlier that she was bleeding and when we got here, the chief burse told us she had loose
the pregnancy. She said she needs to be
transfered to the State Hospital.”

“Which pregnancy?” Prof.Badmus asked,
Kay’s mother was aware of their
relationship while her disciplinarian as her
father was in the dark.


“Dad Ayo, we can settle that later. Let us tale
her to the church.”

“Why? She needed Medical attentions.” The father frowned.


“Can’t you see my daughter can not say a
word anymore? Please, I need to get her to
our mountain right now.” She moved closer to her,Gori look worried, he needed to finish his mission before she was taken for
deliverance, just a roted squeezing of his
face, Kay gasp and died.


“Daddy Ayo, it’s like she is no longer
breathing o.” The mother stepped back a
little, she could not believe her only child
was gone. She fell on the floor almost
immediately, her world was shattered, how
could Kay died. She had accepted her
pregnancy because she knew her child
would gibe her more joy… But now, she had
loose two children…


“Gori, hope it is not what I am thinking…?”
Dan fumed as they were out of the ward.


“What?”

“The cheque was your handwriting, and me
and you know you’re the Shadows of the
Green.” He fired .


“She was one of my target.” He responded looking away.

” You know she was carrying my child.”

“You said you don’t need it so I hastened my plot in order to help you get rid of them
both.”

“How will you feel if I am the one who did
that… Killing both Tiwa and her unborn
child.”

“She is not a member of the Green.” He
responded and walked away. Three children
down, four more to go.

Dan knew Gori had bitten more than he
could chew, he deserved death…. He would
do everything to bring him down. He would
reveal their secret to the Green and
together, Goriola would be a past tense. He
gave him a scornful look as he disappeared
into the numerous students around and
walked away…
