TEMI MINE Season 2 Episode 5
Written by Anthony Temiloluwa Kenny (Saintkenz)
His 25 years of working experience with Dr.Banji had thought him the great deal of being silent anytime Banji raged or billowed. Pizzarrow watched as Dr.Banji swung his now elephantine body about in deep fury and frustration hauling obscenities at him. He knew he had fuvked up by letting his boss’s doom survived, and any attempt to make a flimsy escuse could have his head blown in pieces by almighty Banji. So all he could do was to stay sobered with pleading eyes like a ghost begging for second life.
“So what are you going to do now to correct this your stupid mistake, because i’m so sure that Derick’s killer is the dammed doom your incapability failed to execute years ago. I can’t bear him touch my remaining daughters. They are everything i have left. So what are you going to do ?? Say something you Godforsaking fellow” Dr.Banji ranted out still swaying his jumbo body to and fro., also making Pizzarow face beamed with riants. He hate making flaws, and whenever he made one and realised it, he instantly look for way to correct it so he could balance things up.
“Sir ever since i heard about the death of Derick, i have engaged in some underground works to keep tab on and locate who the killer really is. And sir, i can say with complete sureness that have unmasked him. I know how he looks like.” Pizzarrow said with smugness. It was true he had pressed his buttons and had gotten all the details about Temi. He even knew his godfather was Tunde he shot at close range the other night, but some how escaped death. But had decided to keep that as as secret from his boss, since he was sure Tunde will soon die again. Moreover, telling his boss could send him to heaven in a jiffy.
“So what are you going to do with him now, or you are going to watch him while he kills everybody “? Dr.Banji uttered restlessly.
“No sir. Actually he is a well trained professional killer. So nailing him won’t be as easy as you think sir. It will require us to take subtle measures like planting snitchers around him. They will be the one to keep him on proctor and stag him, till we get a perfect timing to erase him sir.” Pizzarrow explained maintaning the smugness in his voice. His tactics seemed to have worked on Dr.Banji’s umbrage as it lessen to bit.
“So how do you plant the watchers around him ?” Dr.Banji asked
“We are making use of his lapses sir. We just found out that he had requested for an housekeeper, in which i will arrange for him in a snappy. She will help us plant bugs around him to monitor his movements then stag everything he does to help us perfect the right time to execute him” Pizzarrow rasped out to Dr.Banji, who in turn nudged him in appraisal for his brilliant plan and smile evil.
He strutted away from Pizzarrow abit and halted his walk at some inches away from him, leaving Pizzarow gazing at his skul behind him before uttering,
“I’m sure you are aware that whoever the person is, he is Don Dan’s only child on this planet earth”
“Ooh kay sir” Pizzarow stuttered.
“Plss don’t execute him yourself. I just think i will derive happiness in watching Don Dan kills his only son. Since my sister is not giving him any child, i don’t see reason he has to owe one too. Not even when he killed my only son, Pizzarow,” Dr.Banji held his breath for some seconds like someone trying to gather enough oxygen to respirate.
“Damilola, my friend must be the one to kill his own son. Understood ?” Dr.Banji scowled out.
“Yesssir” Pizzarrow replied.

Temi slid the his phone back to a compartment in his car and zoomed it back to life. His mind was made up. He had decided to break his rule, if loving Mirabel means death to him, then he was not afraid to die. He couldn’t afford to loose the only person he had ever loved and make his heart cry everyday.
He had planned to ensure everything would be saved with Mirabel, while he would descreetly carry out his mission. He knew being with Mirabel could cause her death, but he vowed to keep her save at any circumstances that may arouse, or otherwise they both die together. He was not prepared to live a day without her.
“My son my son” Temi heard a weary voice beckoned to him while he lept out of his car where he parked it to meet his date. He veered his face backward to look at a crude woman who lumbered towards him. The woman look fallible and frailed with pesky sores strewing all over her body. One look at her would make a conclusion that she was just a street begger.
Her face was crude and rough but something in that face seemed familiar to him, he met the face not some hours ago but he couldn’t fix where. He tried to remember but no avail.
“Heyyy hey wherr you na tink you na dey go” A baritone voice yapped out from a man on security uniform as he lurched forward to stop Eliza.
“My son give me money..i’m hungry plss have mercy. Plss plss” Eliza begged Temi while kneeling down for him, also in gesture with her hands to explain she was farmished.
“Have this” Temi said as he counted five crisp 1000 naira notes and gave her before prancing towards the entrance of the building while Eliza herself was astounded where she was, yelling out prayers and bennedictions to him.
“Ehh u na dey use juju for our customer abii” same security man blurted out as he snatched the crisp 1000naira notes from her, tugged them inside his chest pocket and hauled Eliza up to dump her behind the building.
“Give me my money now, its my money” Eliza cried out as she brawled with the security man. But all her scuffle didn’t tamper an inch with the impish man.
The man on getting oustide the gate, threw Eliza on the floor, yelling bawdily at her “Werehh.. Iya Aje. Oloriburuku ..Koshii Lo” also kicking all her begging appurtenances into a cloistered mud.
Eliza stood up grimly to grap his trouser in attempt to collect back her money, but the man punted Eliza’s face with her right leg which made Eliza fell into the mud and wallowed in it. Eliza cried as she groped for her nylon bag she used in keeping her money and a walking stick that aided in moving her feeble body.

Mirabel sat in silence. The silence that kept remembering how taciturn Temi had remained to her and how he dissapointed her the last time. She didn’t know how to go throught it, but she knew she was only bluffing when she made him know in the text mesage that she would forget about him if he ignored today’s date with her.
She scoffed derisively to herself as it dawned on her that Temi was not going to show up again. “Maybe he doesnt love you” she said to herself as she glared at the seconds ticking away on her wristwatch.
“Good evening Miss” She heard a whisper from behind her thus making her to swerved her heard in amazement.
“Oh God.. You came. You came” She uttered gleefully as they lurked up in each others arm, staying cuddled and savouring the emotion of the moment.
“I finally came dear. I’m sorry for everything have done in the past. I’m sorry for making you wait for me in the past. Now i’m coming to be with you forever. Okay ? Mirabel i love you!” Temi poured out with excessive emotion.
“Yes. I love you more sweet” Mirable muttered back. Her dream was comming to reality. Now her heart would find a lasting serenity.
“Huhmmm.. So this is your so called man ?” A voice blurted out jolting Temi and Mirabel from their ecstacy and making them heaved up their faces to see Inspector Lance throwing a scrutinising stare at Temi.
