EPISODE 31
INT. A PRISON- UNKNOWN PERIOD
The door opens suddenly and a young man that appears to be in his twenties comes in hurriedly looking scared. The party stands up except for Remilekun who sits up
OBA-ABASS
Who are you?
CECE
Are you here to take us away?
The young man speaks in Yoruba language
YOUNG MAN
We need to go
Femi responds in Yoruba too
FEMI
Where?
YOUNG MAN
Back to your bus
The party looks surprise. Jamin responses in Yoruba language thicked with Hausa accent
JAMIN
You are helping us escape
CECE
(Yoruba language) Why?
YOUNG MAN
We don’t have time to talk, we need to go now
Jamin and Rhema moves to go with him but Oba-Abass stops them and faces the young man
OBA-ABASS
(Yoruba language) Why are you helping us?
CECE
What are you doing Old man? He is helping us escape, we need to go
OBA-ABASS
Not until I know why he is helping us, we are not leaving until you tell us why you are helping us
JAMIN
Are you for real right now?
OBA-ABASS
For all we know, he could be leading us into a trap
The young man sighs
YOUNG MAN
Because of my wife
CECE
What?
YOUNG MAN
I am helping you because of my wife
CECE
What does helping us have to do with your wife?
YOUNG MAN
Few months ago, some people came there on a health outreach. They tested my wife and said she needs to see a doctor because of her heart. Even since then, I have been trying to get her out of this village to a hospital but my people won’t allow us
CECE
Why?
FEMI
We don’t have time to ask why, we need to go (faces the young man) lead the way
CECE
Please wait
Cece runs towards Remilekun and tries to help her up but Jamin stops her
JAMIN
Don’t worry, I will help her
Jamin tries to help Remilekun up but she pushes him away
REMILEKUN
Leave me alone, I don’t need your help
CECE
You can hardly walk Remilekun, stop been stubborn and let him help you
REMILEKUN
I can walk
She tries to stand on her feet but she falls down in pain
FEMI
We don’t have time for this
Femi walks towards Remilekun
FEMI (CONT’D)
You either let them help you walk or I will carry you over my shoulder
REMILEKUN
I don’t need their help, I can walk on my own
FEMI
Apart from the fact that you will slow us down, you are in pain and you are not supposed to walk on that leg until a doctor fix it. Walking on it will definitely make your leg worst
Remilekun sighs deeply
REMILEKUN
Okay, but only he should help me
Remilekun points to Jamin, Jamin smiles as he walks towards her
JAMIN
The name is Jamin and I am happy to help you
Jamin lifts her up gently and puts her hand over his shoulder. Femi walks to the young man
FEMI
Please lead the way
The young man walks out of the prison with the party, the young man looks left and right before he turns in any direction.
As Remilekun walks with the help of Jamin, her necklace drops from her neck. Unknown to her, she continues to walk away.
Few minutes later, she touches her neck to caress her necklace as usual. She looks down at chest in shock to find the necklace missing. Panic sets in as she talks in a loud voice
REMILEKUN
My necklace is missing
The party stops and looks back at her
FEMI
What?
REMILEKUN
My necklace is missing, I think it dropped from my neck
OBA-ABASS
When was the last time you saw it?
REMILEKUN
Back at the prison
FEMI
We can’t go back to the prison, it is too risky
Tears starts to form in Remilekun’s eyes
REMILEKUN
Please help me
Femi walks to Remilekun and holds her hand with concern
FEMI
I designed the necklace, I promise you that I will get you the exact same necklace
The tears flows down Remilekun’s eyes
REMILEKUN
But it can’t be the same, my mom gave this to me
Rhema looks away from crying Remilekun to her surroundings, then she sees something shining from afar
RHEMA
I see something shinning, maybe it is your necklace
Rhema points to the necklace
REMILEKUN
It looks like it but I can’t see it properly
RHEMA
Wait here and I will go get it
Rhema races off to get the necklace, she puts up the object on the floor when she gets to where the shining object is. She raises the shining object up with a bright smile on her face as she faces the party. Remilekun sighs in relief when she sees the necklace
REMILEKUN
That is it
Remilekun’s smiles fades as she about five huge guards show up behind Rhema, Remilekun screams her voice out
REMILEKUN
They are behind you, run, run, they are behind you
Rhema looks behind and sees a guard, before she could run, one of them bounce on her and carries her while the others runs towards the party. Femi carries Remilekun over his shoulder and starts to run. Remilekun sees one of the guards carrying Rhema away
