Shadows of the Green - Season 2 - Episode 3

☆☆ ********* “…I made sure his grave was cemented and tiled, what is happening? Who is killing all
these children? Kai! Three children in a day?
Ewooooo” John Chukwuka lamented

“John, something is missing somewhere…. Is
it that possibly another shadow has
emerged… This notes is carrying SHADOWS
OF THE GREEN again o” he fumbled with the small sized notes he was holding.

“Jack! Ah! Powerful jack ke! You better let’s have a meeting with the young Greens
tomorrow.” Akin Badmus suggested. The
three men were lost in their own thought,
all of them had lost one of their children,
who knew if their wives are next! Daniel
entered, he was cladded in a jalamia, he
wore a worried look.

“Good afternoon SirGreens.” He greeted as he took a seat.

“Dan, what happened? What is going on?”
Adigun Makun asked.

“I was with Jack yesterday when he called
him…”

“Who?” The trio asked almost immediately.

“He saved the number with Timothy.”

“…and who is Timothy?” Adigun Makun
questioned.

“I don’t know too… He told me he was
hanging out with the VC’s daughter and
Prof. Mohammed’s daughter too… I even
begged him to take me along but he
refused.” They sighed. “But…”

“But what?” John Chukwuka jerked.

“I trailed him but something was
confusing…”

“Then what?”

“I think… I think… Another shadow… I’m not so sure… The person did not look like G-boy.

I saw him… G-boy is… Was short… The killer
looked a bit tall… He had piercing, wore
blings and look more or less like Godwin.”

He sounded confused, the three men just
stared at him, not knowing what to say.

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

“Where were you yesterday?” Akin gave him a scornful look.

“SirGreen, believe me, I… I… I was home.” He was frightened, he had been accused of
killing Jack, the powerful Jack which he
knew he was not capable of.

“Dan claimed he saw you…” John shouted at him in his thick Igbo accent.

“No…no… I was home.. You can ask
my…my..my…girlfriend.” He knew his spirit would fail him.

“Goddy, you’re the young Green number
two… I want you to tell us the truth… You
called Jack yesterday or not?” Akin asked.

“Yea… I did… But that was before his murder.

I called about the upcoming meeting.” The men raised their brow.

“How did you know when he was
murdered? Do you want me to report you to
the leader?” Akin could not keep his cool
anymore.

“Okay…okay… Let me say the truth…” beads of sweats were already forming above his eyebrow.

“What?”

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

“Mum, my baby is proving so stubborn just
like his father.” She rubbed her tummy in a circular motion.

“It’s because it is your first child.”

“Like you have more than one.” They
laughed, she noticed the way her mum
laughed, she knew she was more than
happy. She had been her only friend since
the death of Gori.
