”Yes, Your Excellency” Chief Williams replied

”I and the executive members of this honourable table has come together and had a conclusion” President Donatus began

”What Conclusion your Excellency?” Chief Williams asked

”Why not wait till I finish” President Donatus said and Chief Williams kept quiet

”By right now, you are supposed to be heading everyone here in the President ial election, isn’t it?” President Donatus asked and everyone concurred making Chief Williams to adjust his agbada in smiles

”But… As it stands now, everybody has been written off from the candidate lists, so as to avoid more deaths of our members” Presient Donatus said and Chief Williams mood changed instantly

”What??!!!” He exclaimed standing up quickly

”This election will only involve I and Chief Wilson, the Vice President” President Donatus said and Chief Wilson was shocked

”What?!! No way.. Your Excellency, count me out of this. How can you do this to my friend and place me in a stead he worths. We all were there at the court. He was innocent. A man of Integrity” Chief Wilson said standing looking very serious

”My words are final! Chief Williams is off the election and so is everyone else” President Donatus said and Chief Williams looked at Chief Wilson for few seconds that their eyes jammed.

”Thank You Your Excellency” Chief Williams said and left

”Your Excellency, you can’t do this..” Chief Wilson said

”Sit dwn Chief Wilson or you leave with him” President Donatus said

”I’d better leave that sit here watching you do this to my friend” Chief Wilson said and left with his tourage..

**CHIEF WILLIAMS RESIDENCE**

”These people are playing with fire!” Chief Williams barked angrily as he walked inside the house

”Hey darling, you are back already” Mrs. Williams happily ran out to welcome him but Chief Williams raised his hands angrily as a sign for her to stop right where she was and Mrs. Williams was surprised

”What is it darling.. Why are you like this?” Mrs. Williams asked seeing his angry mood

”They have successfully driven me out of the Candidate list” Chief Williams said and Mrs . Williams became angry immediately

”What?? Why?” Mrs. Williams asked

”Hmmmm..; Jealously..” Chief Williams said

” The funniest part of it all is that Chief Wilson is a part of this all.. He was fixed in my stead” Chief Williams said and Mrs. Williams became more angry

”You mean the Chief Wilson you gave a life. That same Chief you made who he is conspired against you?” Mrs. Williams asked

”They have just beaten the drums of the spirits.. And they will have to dance to it” Chief Williams said ans everywhere became quiet..

Few Seconds into the quietness, Chief Wilson walked in

”Chief, I swear with my life, I am not a party to this” Chief Wilson’s voice drew their attention and they looked at him angrily

”You Ingrate.. You backbiter!! What are you doing in my house?” Chief Williams asked

”Please, hear me out. I didn’t do anything. I only came to explain to you” Chief Wilson said with a low truthful voice

”I see, so that was why you came back from the States, to demote and fix yourself right?” Chief Williams asked standing up

”No.. That’s not true. I was never interested in the Presidential election” Chief Wilson said

”But now you are.. Thank you for the conspiracy. Now leave my house” Chief Williams said angrily

”I should leave your house?” Chief Wilson asked rhetorically

”I was clear enough.. Now leave!” Chief Williams said again

”Are you deaf. Leave now!!” Mrs. Williams said

”You have to hear me out my friend. We are friends you know” Chief Wilson said

”Friends watches each others back.. You are an wolf in sheep clothing!” Chief Williams said walking towards the stairs..

”Don’t let me meet you here when I come down these stairs.” Chief Williams said leaving Chief Wilson in frustration and confusion

”Nonsense..” Mrs. Williams said following her husband

”Chief Williams.. Chief Williams.. Please listen..” Chief Wilson said but they were already up the stairs.. In a faint heart and unpeaceful mood, Chief Wilson stood up and left..

Chief Wilson drove into his compound immediately and alighted from the car not looking too good. Cynthia ran out to welcome him but he ignored her. Walking straight into the house

”Dad?? Dad?? What’s the matter?” She asked running after him surprised at his actions

”Honey.. Darling, what’s it? Why is you face like this?” Mrs. Wilson asked but Chief Wilson looked at her and walked in banging the door behind, Cynthia and Mrs. Wilson were surprised..

***********

…”Darling, you can’t be this angry and hiding things from Us” Mrs. Wilson said and they walked into Chief Wilson in the sitting room sitting quietly

”Dad, talk to Us.” Cynthia said

”The meeting wasn’t good at all” Chief Wilson began

”Why?” Mrs. Wilson asked

”Chief Williams was demoted and I was placed in his stead to contest for the Presidential election” Chief Wilson said

”Why?” Mrs. Wilson and Cynthia asked at once

”I don’t know.. I tried rejecting it but the President refused. We never talked about this. Chief Williams walked out angrily with the thought that I’m behind it all. Now our friendship is broken” Chief Wilson said

”Oh.. My.. This is Serious” Cynthia said

”The President shouldn’t have done such.. It’s unfair” Mrs. Wilson said

”But, Dad, you have to calm down. All you need do noa, is making Chief Williams see reasons with you that you weren’t part of this” Cynthia said

”I went directly to his house, but he and his wife out poured insluts on me calling me an enemy without even hearing me out” Chief Wilson said and the atmosphere was quiet in shock for some seconds

”It’s alright Dad, just relax and calm down” Cynthia said

”There will be a way to fix this” Mrs. Williams added and dragged Chief Wilson slowly to his room.

Cynthia stood looking at them as the words of her father rang in her head

#FLASHBACK..

”You won’t understanf my dear. I just pray Karma and Nemesis doesn’t catch up with me” Chief Wilson said and stood up

”Good Night darling” He said walking into his room

**BARR. LINDA’S RESIDENCE**

”Dave.. Dave…” Linda calle dout standing in the sitting room

”Yes Sis” Dave replied walking down the stairs

”Do you still remember the place that Kidnapper took you to?” Linda asked him

”Yes.. Why asking?” Dave said

”I want you to take me there” Linda said and Dave starred at her

”What???! Are you out of your mind. What if he thinks in reverse and kills Us, thinking we came to spy on him or something else” Dave said

”No… He won’t” Linda said

”And how sure are you about that?” Dave asked folding his hands

”I just don’t know.. I’m just having this feeling that something isn’t right with that kidnapper” Linda said

”But I haven’t really figured things out” She added

”And for that same reason, I won’t take you there” Dave said

”Why?” Linda asked

”Because it’s very risky!!” Dave said and sat down

”Dave, listen to me.. This man saved my life.. When he was driving me back home; I saw fear and pain in him” Linda said

”He always wears a mask; so how did you know?” Dave asked

”I just don’t know, but I can feel it” Linda said scratching her hair

”I can see you are falling in love with a Criminal.. Same Criminal that kidnapped and almost killed your brother” Dave said

”That’s not true Dave.. I have worked on so many Criminals and Kidnappers but this one is different” Linda said

”Did he touch you when you were in his custody?” Linda asked

”No.. He didn’t. He took very good care of me in a very big beautiful house, and that I haven’t gotten off my head” Dave said with his eyes opened wide

”And what does such action tells you?” Linda asked

”C’mon, Sis, are you trying to convince me in this case?” Dave asked

”No my dear, this is the reality.. So are you taking me there ar not” Linda asked looking directly into the eyes of Dave

”This is gonna be risky Sis” Dave said

”Trust me in this..” Limda said and Dave starred at her..

”It’s alright my dear. Things are always this way.” Bella said

”It’s really affecting him and me too” Cynthia added not looking too fine

”I know how it feels dear. But trust me, it will be fine. It’s just a quarrel and not yet a fight. They will settle their differences” Bella said holding her hands

”Are you sure?” Cynthia asked

”Ver sure my dear. Now drink up” Bella said and smiled at Cynthia.

”So, how is school going” Cynthia asked Bella trying to make herself happy

”Very fine ooh.. We dey manage” Bella said and they started a funny conversation which made Cynthia smile and laugh….
