I met him
(Sunlight floors the room before Alex wakes and he sees an empty bed then he runs downstairs and he sees Rere in the kitchen, dressed up for work with her hair plaited)
Alex: Rere
Rere: (smiles when she sees him) good morning
Alex: why are you up?
Rere: because I need to go to work
Alex: you are supposed to be in bed resting
Rere: say who?
Alex: the doctor, do you remember what happened yesterday
Rere: I must have rattled you yesterday
Alex: rattled me? Is that what you call coming home to meet you passed out under the shower? I need you to go back into that bed
Rere: (carries the plates and goes to the dining. Alex follows her) I am fine Alex, there is no need to worry yourself (sets the plates on the table)
Alex: what happened to you Rere?
Rere: nothing happened
Alex: (in a loud and angry voice) for the love of God Rere, answer my fucking question. What happened yesterday?
Rere: I met him, I met the man who killed my father
Alex: (his expression softens) what? Where did you see him?
Rere: just somewhere
Alex: are you okay?
Rere: am not
Alex: who is he?
Rere: he is not someone important
Alex; I need to know him so that he can be brought to justice
Rere; I don’t need that from you
Alex: then what can I do?
Rere: let me go to work
Alex: you need rest
Rere: what I ne… (Her phone rings and she picks her phone) it is your father, give me a minute (she picks the phone) good morning sir (pause) I will be here in thirty minutes (pauses) okay sir (she drops the call)
Alex: you are not going anywhere
Rere: (moves closer to him and picks his hand) if I stay in this house, I will be reliving the last moment of my father’s death over and over again. I need to go to work so that I don’t do that
Alex: (sigh deeply) alright but if anything happens, call me
Rere: (smiles softly) I will (she kisses him and leaves)
