You are a bad mother and I pity your son
INT. ANOTHER HOTEL IN ABUJA- DAWN
(Rere comes out of the elevator to a different hotel to see Esosa waiting for her)
Rere: where is she?
Esosa: room 150 (smiling) getting her location from Pam’s assistant was quite easy
Rere: (smiling) good job
Esosa: (smiling) thank you (she knocks the door and a young woman whose complexion has been bleached opens the door)
Sally: yes, what can I do for? (Rere badge her way in and sees a young boy sleeping on the bed soundly) excuse me (she follows Rere as Esosa comes in and close the door) I thought I asked you a question, who are you?
Rere: I am the woman you are disturbing with your sad little story
Sally: what?
Rere: you are going to appear on TV today, aren’t you?
Sally: yes and who are you? (Sighs) you must be the Senator’s lap dog
Rere: call me whatever you want but you are going to stop whatever it is you are planning
Sally: no way am doing that, the people deserves to know what kind of man the new Secretary of State is and my son deserves his father’s attention
Rere: oh shut up, this is not about the people or your son, this is about you who carves attention. I going to make a proposition with you
Sally: I don’t want….
Rere: (cut in sharply) how about you shut up and let me talk (Sally stops talking) I am going to give you give you three million and (Sally opens her mouth in shock) you are going to take your son and go far away and never show your face to the senator or to reporter Pam anymore
Sally: (still shocked) three million? For me and my son?
Rere: yes for you and your son
Sally: I will take the deal
Rere: you are going to sign a contract about what we just said
Sally: I will sign anything
Rere: good (she brings out the contract which Sally signs without reading. Rere collects the contract and looks at it) a runs girl will always be a runs girl no matter the circumstance (keeps the document in her bag and looks at Sally) you are a bad mother and I pity your son. You don’t deserve him, Esosa
Esosa: yes
Rere: wire her the money
Esosa: alright (faces Sally) your account number? (Rere leaves)
The Queen of Blackmail
INT. OUTSIDE RERE’S OFFICE- AFTERNOON
(Rere is in outside her office talking with her secretary)
Voice: (in a very loud voice) Ms Shapiro, QOB, the queen of blackmail. Stop hiding behind the walls of your office, come out here, I need to talk to you (Rere looks up and sees Pamela struggling with the security officer. Rere walks towards them.)
Rere: (Talking to the security officer) leave her
Security: I am sorry ma, I tried to stop her but she is too stubborn
Rere: it is fine (turns to Pam) so what can I do for you Ms Okonkwo
Pam: (in an angry loud voice) where is my source?
Rere: (looking surprised) your source? Am sorry but what are you talking about
Pam: don’t you…. (Tries to hold Rere but was stop by the security man)
Security: (holds her firmly) I suggest you composure yourself ma’am
Pam: don’t you dare act dumb with me, you know what I am talking about
Rere: I really don’t know what you are talking about
Pam: you are worse than Roti, how can you let that kind of man be in the position of power
Rere: like I said, I don’t know what you are talking about (Pam looks surprise) and since I am not on the same page with you, I think we are done there but before I let you go, let me give you a piece of advice (she moves closer to Pam) stay away from me, whatever went sour between you and Roti, let it stay between you two and don’t you ever let it affect me again. If it does I will be very angry (looks at the security man) get her out of here, the next time I see her here without my permission, you are fired
Pam: you bitch (Rere walks away and meets Esosa on the way)
Esosa: (walking after Rere) I heard about what happened, I am so sorry
Rere: it is fine I handled it (stops) there is no way Pam could have searched for that information herself
Esosa: what are you saying?
Rere: that slut does not have the nerve to go against someone like senator Audu
Esosa: so you think there is someone backing her
Rere: this is not a guess, I am sure of it
Esosa: I will find out who the person is
Rere: do that and Roti must not found out that Pam was here
Esosa: of course (Rere enters her office)
