Previously On the road from Lagos
The pregnant woman gives birth to her baby girl
EXT. INSIDE THE FOREST- NIGHT
Jamin, Femi and Oba-Abass looks at the ladies fuss over the new baby.
OBA-ABASS
This is a beautiful night
FEMI
As beautiful as it is we need to get the mother and baby to the hospital.
JAMIN
They look pretty fine to me
FEMI
Yeah they look fine but I can shake this bad feeling. There has to be a reason why the husband is willing to go against his own people to get her to a hospital. I think there is a complication that I don’t know about
JAMIN
But there is nothing we can do, we don’t know the way
FEMI
Which is why I think I should go back to the village and get the husband to show us the road
JAMIN
Go back to the village?
FEMI
Not just for the mother and the new baby but also to get the young lady that was kidnapped again
OBA-ABASS
Do you even know the way back, it is pretty dark?
FEMI
I can’t just sit and do nothing, moreover we are not even safe here
Femi walks to the ladies with Oba and Jamin behind him. Femi squats next to the new mother
FEMI
I am sorry but I need disturb you a little
The new mother smiles
NEW MOTHER (YOUNG PREGNANT WOMAN)
You saved me and my baby, you get the free pass to disturb me at anytime
FEMI
You and the baby needs to get to the hospital today
Cece looks concerned
CECE
Is something wrong with the baby?
FEMI
I don’t know which is why you need to get to a hospital, you and your baby could have been infected with some kind of bacteria during the delivery, you need to go to the hospital
REMILEKUN
But we don’t know the road
FEMI
I am thinking of going back to the village and get your husband
CECE
Do you even know the way back to the village, it is pretty dark already?
FEMI
No I don’t (faces the new mother) I need your help. Can you draw a map for me back to the village?
NEW MOTHER
This is also my first time in the forest, I don’t know anything too
The party sigh in disappointment
NEW MOTHER
But?
They look up back up
OBA-ABASS
But what?
NEW MOTHER
You can follow the drum
FEMI
What drum?
NEW MOTHER
It is the festival of Kakul
JAMIN
Kakal? Who is Kakul
NEW MOTHER
Kakul of the founder of our village, we celebrate him for seven day during which there is always drum beat whenever the moon comes out and today is the fourth day
The party looks up at the moon
CECE
The moon is already up but we can’t hear the drum
The new mother talks softly
NEW MOTHER
It is probably because we are too far from the village
They signs in disappointment again
OBA-ABASS
That was no help
NEW MOTHER
I noticed that it is straight path from here to where this woman (touches Nimah) and I met the doctor on our way here
REMILEKUN
That is true
NIMAH
And I also happened to notice that it is where we met her before the guards came
JAMIN
Are you sure?
CECE
That is relevant because?
JAMIN
If she is right, that mean between where we met our new mother and where her husband left us, it is straight path too
Femi points to the path they came from
FEMI
Are you guys saying that we just need to go on this path to the village?
NEW MOTHER
No it won’t take you to the village but it will take you closer to the village where you will hear the drum
OBA-ABASS
Then we follow the drum
NEW MOTHER
Yes
OBA-ABASS
Well that is a plan
CECE
Going back to the village is stupid plan
FEMI
But we nee….
CECE
Need to go back for the baby, I understand
FEMI
Jamin and I will go, if you are up for it buddy
JAMIN
Of course I am
OBA-ABASS
I will come with too
FEMI
I am sorry you can’t because we need to go in and come out fast, you are old to make that possible, no offensive please
OBA-ABASS
(smiling) none taken
NIMAH
I will come with you too
JAMIN
Sister no
NIMAH
I am good with knife
FEMI
(talking to Jamin) I know you trying to protect your sister but her skills with knife will come in handy
NIMAH
(smiles) then it is settled
FEMI
Let go
Cece and Oba watch they walk away
CECE
Please be careful
EXT. INSIDE THE VILLAGE- NIGHT
Femi peeks around a corner to sees two guards in front of the prison he was before. Then he turns back to Jamin
FEMI
Are you ready?
JAMIN
Yes
FEMI
After you are done, wait for me with your sister at the point we chose
JAMIN
Yes
Jamin breathes in and out heavily, then runs to the view of the guards
JAMIN
Hey, catch me if you can
Jamin runs away with one of the guards following him. Femi looks disappointed as he sees only one guard following Jamin
FEMI
It seems I will have to do it the normal way
He walks into the view of guard
FEMI
Hello
Femi folds his hand into fists ready to fight
***************************
