On the road from Lagos 33: The Forest 2

The village guards caught up to the escaped travellers


 

EXT. THE FOREST- EVENING 

At the sight of the men, the party runs in different direction. Oba-Abass and Cece continues running, then Oba-Abass stops to catch his breath. Cece looks back to see him and walks towards him


CECE

Are you okay? We need to keep running


OBA-ABASS

Please give me a minute, I need to catch my breath


Cece looks around in confusion


CECE

Where are others?


Oba-Abass looks behind him at Cece


OBA-ABASS

We must have gone in different directions


Cece starts to walk back the way they came from, Oba-Abass runs after her


OBA-ABASS

Where are you going?


CECE

I need to find them


OBA-ABASS

You can’t just go blazing through the woods when there are some psychopathic lunatics looking for us 


CECE

We can’t just abandon them


OBA-ABASS

I am not saying we should abandon them and frankly you were willing to leave that young lady back in the village, what is different this time around?


CECE

I don’t have the time to answer that


She starts to walk away


OBA-ABASS

Wait for me and let go together 


Oba-Abass runs to meet her and and he steps on a stone and suddenly a net encloses Cece and Oba-Abass. A second later they were tangling from a tree in a net

Cece cries out in frustration


CECE

Great!


EXT. INSIDE THE WOODS- EVENING

Jamin and Femi with Remilekun on his shoulder continues to run, then suddenly Femi stops and bring Remilekun down


REMILEKUN

Why are we stopping?


Femi looks around himself while Jamin walks back to them


JAMIN

They are right behind us, we need to continue


FEMI

Take her and continue running


Jamin and Remilekun looks confused


JAMIN

What?


FEMI

Take her and continue running, if possible find the bus


REMILEKUN

What about you?


FEMI

I will stay and fight them


JAMIN

I strongly advise that we keep going together, our survival rate increases with you running with us


FEMI

They will keep coming unless someone takes care of them. So take her and go


JAMIN

Mr….


REMILEKUN

I think we should do as the man wants 


FEMI

That is a smart girl, you should listen to her


JAMIN

Okay we will go


Jamin lifts Remilekun up…. She looks at Femi with concern in her eyes


REMILEKUN

Please don’t die


Femi nods, Jamin and Remilekun continues their journey


EXT. INSIDE THE WOODS- EVENING

Nimah and the pregnant woman walks through the woods tiredly. Nimah looks around confused while the pregnant woman catches her breath. Nimah talks in Yoruba language with a heavy Hausa accent


NIMAH

I am sure we have been here before


YOUNG PREGNANT WOMAN

That can’t be sure


NIMAH

We passed this same tree some minutes ago


The pregnant woman looks at the tree


YOUNG PREGNANT WOMAN

Are you sure it is the same tree?


Nimah talks in a frustrated loud voice


NIMAH

I am sure it is the same one because this is our third time passing this place. We have been walking in circles since morning


YOUNG PREGNANT WOMAN

Why are you getting angry at me?


NIMAH

Your husband said you know the road


The pregnant woman holds her back and pushes her big belly to the forward


YOUNG PREGNANT WOMAN

No I don’t, that was his mistake. This is my first time in this woods, only the men are allowed to be the woods


Nimah talks in a very angry loud voice


NIMAH

Then why will your husband say you know the road?


YOUNG PREGNANT WOMAN

I don’t know and stop shouting at me, I am in the same predicament as you are


Nimah sighs heavily and relaxes


NIMAH

I am sorry, it is just that this is not the way I thought this day will go


YOUNG PREGNANT WOMAN

Nobody know how one's day will go


Nimah sits down breathing heavily and looking very tired 


YOUNG PREGNANT WOMAN

Are you okay in that thing?


NIMAH

What?


YOUNG PREGNANT WOMAN

I mean are you okay covered up like that? You must be feeling hot


NIMAH

I am fine, I just need to find my brother and get out of this cursed forest


The pregnant woman struggles to bend down and sits on the floor


YOUNG PREGNANT WOMAN

How old is your brother?


NIMAH

Jamin is 24


YOUNG PREGNANT WOMAN

24… a man of 24 years old in my village will already have a house, a wife, about 3 children and a big farm. That means your brother is a grown man and he can take good care of himself, so stop worrying


Nimah stands up suddenly


YOUNG PREGNANT WOMAN

Where are you going?


NIMAH

The sun is setting, we need to keep walking


YOUNG PREGNANT WOMAN

We don’t know the road


NIMAH

Then we keep walking until we find a way


YOUNG PREGNANT WOMAN

I know we need to but I am tired


NIMAH

I know you are tired, so am I too but you need to get to a hospital and I need to find my brother


The pregnant woman sighs 


YOUNG PREGNANT WOMAN

I understand (stretches her hand) so pull me up


Nimah pulls up and they continue walking
