Shadows of the Green - Season 2 - Episode 13

☆☆ ****** “

See, we will have to kill this baby o… This is our last trial… If this fails, then we are all dead meats.” Oluwo complained, in his
hands was a new born baby who had
already been stripped Unclad.

“Daddy… Let’s be fast about this joo… I’m
sure he would soon come after Us o.” She said impatiently.

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

“This house is familiar to me.” He scanned everywhere as they made to enter.

“You would soon know, Mr. Shadow.”

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

“I’m afraid he might be in danger…” Godwin
said, he immediately began to take off his
ear and body rings, something he does in
distress.

“Calm down and let’s meet him at the said
place…” Olu said.

“Gori is not someone to give up easily… I
know we will all see this to the end.” Solo
added.

“Guys, we don’t have diabolical power like Gori… Moreso don’t you guys think this thing is beyond our power…. Why…why…” He kept quiet, seeing him through the university
was his parents only achievement, he was
his parents sixth and last child, four of his
siblings died of polio while his immediate
brother was lame already. He should risk his
life for a school which wasn’t in his state of
origin sef… He sighed of uncertainty.

” one, I understand you, bro. Just go and
meet the students standing infront of the
SUG building. We will notify you when and
where to meet up with you guys.”

“I think that’s better.” He sighed.

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

“Hey guys, I received a call now from one of
the SUG guys.” Officer Jakande said rolling a wrap of crack.

“…that?” Jude who was busy sipping a lucozade boost asked.

“He sent me an address and ask us all to
meet at the said address by 5p.m.”

“I saw his mail too… From one Godwin. He
said if we get to the place, we should all
hang around with our men on standby.”
Irabor added.

“Is it the D day already.” Jakande took a drag and passed it to Irabor.

“Jakande, mobilise your men… We are
ending this poo altogether today. I go even
get time knack all this skimpy babes wey dey
sef.” He took a long drag.

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

“Mummy, they took my baby already…” She complained amidst tears, she was in a
oversized ‘iro’ and ‘buba’.

“Ah! What should we do now?” Mama Gori who was panicking asked.

“I have been trying to get through to
Goriola.” She held her painful b----t, her
‘buba’ was already soaked of breastmilk.

“Which Gori?” The confused mother asked.

“Mum, Gori is alive… He took my delivery… He is… He promised to come see you after…

After everything.”

“Gori is dead Jo… I think the person who
took your delivery was Gori’s
reincarnate.”the confused mother said.

“Mummy, that aside… Please I need my
baby… I want to see her!” She was in tears.

“Do you know who took her?”

“I knew they are my grandfather’s
apprentice… They forcefully took her… See
my b----t, mummy.” She flung off her
clothes showing her breastmilk filled body.

“Calm down, my daughter.”

“She needs me, mum. God knows what is
happening to her right now.” She looked so worried.

“Nothing will happen, my dear… But why
would your grandpa take your daughter
forcefully?”

“Mummy, let’s go.” She sprang up dragging
her mother in-law.

“Calm down, Tiwa. Everything would be
good.” She wiped her face with the edge of her wrapper. She lost her husband, her first
son and now, her grandchild. Life was
indeed unfair.

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

All his friends were dead already, they were
seven Greens with children but in the past
few years,(most recently) he had lost
everyone dear to him. He was the only
surviving sirGreen. He put off his clothes and
wore his green regalia, he wanted to end it
all but the message he received from the
governor changed his mindset, he had a
chance of surviving.. He got to the living
room and met his wife and children seeing
a movie, he walked past them paying little or
no attention to them. They were the least of
their problem that moment.

“Daddy Viv, where are you going to with this
absurd regalia.” The children laughed, the green uniform looked so funny. He walked
out without replies. The wife stood up and
went to the window, she was aware of his
husband rumored involvement in the
ongoing fraternity junks. All his friends were
dead, he was the last man standing. He
stood outside his car for some minutes
looking round his acquired wealth… His
mansion, his cars, and extravagant lifestyle.
He took a last breathe and walked out. His
wife sensing danger took her car keys and
followed her husband ignoring the worried
children.
