EPISODE 71
Devilish
family
EXT. ONE HOUSE IN IBADAN- IN
THE DEATH OF THE NIGHT
Wemimo,
Aperry and some of his boys stand in front of a big iron gate. KOMO, one of the
boys, keeps banging on the gate but no one open the door
KOMO
Oda
pe oloriburuku baba gati man ye ti sun (It
seems like the gateman has slept)
WEMIMO
Komo,
climb over and wake him up
KOMO
Okay…Toronto
TORONTO,
one of the boys moves closer to KOMO. Komo stands on Toronto’s back and he
enters the compound. Few minutes, the gate opens and Wemimo files in with the
others.
A
beautifully constructed duplex stands in the middle of the compound. Wemimo
looks around the house before looking at the old man Komo made to kneel in
front of them
KOMO
Baba
sun ni oh? (Baba was sleeping oh)
Aperry
removes the cap on the baba’s head and slaps him with it
APERRY
Sleeping
on duty eh baba?
WEMIMO
Oga yii ko? (Where is your boss?)
The old man talks with fear
in his voice
BABA
GATEMAN
O
wa ninu ile, ejo e mapa mi (He is inside,
please don’t kill me)
Wemimo goes
inside, while Aperry slaps the man with his cap one more time
APERRY
E
ye sun nidi ise mo (Stop sleeping on duty)
He runs to
catch up with Wemimo. Komo opens the door and they all enter like they own it.
The boys all look in awe at the house
TORONTO
Oba
mimo oh (Holy King)… this man must be
loaded
APERRY
When
they say all that glitters is not gold, this is it
WEMIMO
His
bedroom has to be upstairs
Wemimo walk
upstairs with the other coming behind him. He sits on one of the couch in the
second living room upstairs
WEMIMO
Please
look around and bring him to me
Aperry’s
boys all scatter into different rooms while Aperry sits next to Wemimo. Aperry
looks at Wemimo who looks so calm
APERRY
I
am afraid of people like you the most
Wemimo looks at Aperry
WEMIMO
People
like me?
APERRY
They
look so calm and innocent but they want to spill blood
WEMIMO
Really?
APERRY
What
are you going to do this man, Wemimo?
WEMIMO
I
just want to have a chat with him
At that moment, Aperry’s
boys drag in FESTUS OKOLI, a huge man that appears to be in his forties
FESTUS
OKOLI
What
is the meaning of this?
KOMO
Alaye,
were sun ni oh (This mad man was sleeping)
FESTUS
OKOLI
What
do you want with me? Is it money?
Komo slaps him on his face
KOMO
Who
said you can talk? Abi eleyii o woju ni (This
man no dey look face ni)
WEMIMO
Enough
with the beating, help him sit
They help
Festus to sit on the small stool and make him face Wemimo directly
FESTUS
OKOLI
So
you are the boss abi? How dare you do this to me?
Toronto slaps him hard on
the face
TORONTO
Watch
the way you talk
Wemimo looks upset
WEMIMO
I
said enough with the beatings
The boys withdraws and they
all look at Wemimo in surprise
WEMIMO
I
am sorry for all of this, I am Wemimo Arotile-King and I a….
FESTUS
OKOLI
King?
Are you of that devilish family? The Company. Well tell them…
WEMIMO
I
am not representing my family, I am here to talk business
FESTUS
OKOLI
Business?
At this time? In this situation?
WEMIMO
No
matter what I say, she is not going to leave, so I hope if we can come to an
arrangement and you will leave her instead
FESTUS
OKOLI
What
are you talking about?
WEMIMO
Aunty
Bebii…
FESTUS
OKOLI
Obebi-Ego
sent you
WEMIMO
Technically
no but I am offering to give you one million naira to leave her
The boys looks surprise
including Aperry
APERRY
You
can’t offer this bastard mo…
WEMIMO
I
am willing to give you five hundred thousand this night and will give you the
remaining in a week
He brings
out a cheque leaflet from his pocket and hands it to Festus. Festus looks at
the cheque and proceeds to pocket when Aperry snatches it from him
FESTUS
OKOLI
What
are you doing?
APERRY
Do
we have an agreement? One million and you will leave her the hell alone
Festus scoffs as he look at
Wemimo
FESTUS
OKOLI
One
million, is that not too small for a King?
WEMIMO
Well, I am the bastard son of my father, the only thing I have that belongs to him is
his name
FESTUS
OKOLI
If
you can easily give me one million, you can get more
WEMIMO
Technically
that money is not mine, I borrowed it from my wife‘s company
FESTUS
OKOLI
So,
you are the man she is sleeping with
Wemimo looks shocked
WEMIMO
Excuse
me?
FESTUS
OKOLI
I
knew she was cheating on me, that bitch. I made that slut who she is today and
she thinks she can leave me. I will show her the stuff I am made o….
Wemimo
snaps and balls his hand into a fist ready to punch Festus when Aperry holds
his fist
WEMIMO
Aperry!
APERRY
What
are you doing?
WEMIMO
Can’t
you hear what he is saying? He deserves to be punched
APERRY
I
know that but why will you do that when I am here
Aperry gives Wemimo the
cheque before he looks at his boys
APERRY
Go
inside and pack all of Aunty Bebii’s stuff
The boys
move and Aperry turns to Festus. He smirks while Festus looks in fears
APERRY
Now,
it is just me and you
He lands a
huge punch into his stomach and Festus yells
APERRY
You
are a disgrace to manhood
As he is
punching, he is slapping and kicking him. Not long, Festus Okoli becomes a bloody
mess that can’t even stand up right
APERRY
Piece
of shit
He spits at him
APERRY
A
waste of my good punches
Aperry breathes in deeply as
he looks at a very angry Wemimo. He chuckles softly
APERRY
You
are not satisfied
WEMIMO
No,
am not
Wemimo
holds the collar of Festus and drags him to the staircase. Wemimo looks at
Festus with anger
WEMIMO
After
this, you will think twice before you hurt any woman
He kicks
him hard and watch as a shouting Festus rolls down the stairs in agony. Wemimo
looks back at Aperry with a smirk on his face
WEMIMO
Now,
I am satisfied
Aperry laughs as he moves
closer to Wemimo
APERRY
Remind
me not to make you angry
The boys
comes out with three big luxurious boxes
KOMO
We
are ready
APERRY
Let
go
They all go
downstairs, each walking over Festus as they go. Aperry being the last person
stop and squats next to Festus
FESTUS
OKOLI
Ple….please
help me, do…d..don’t let me die
APERRY
Death,
don’t worry you are not dying but you might be in the hospital for the next
couple of months… that been said, for your own good, I suggest you keep what
happened here tonight to yourself. If I hear that you make a complaint, I will
come back finish you off myself…. Do we have a deal?
Festus nods hastily
APERRY
Good
Aperry leaves
Next on Why?
