Blood And Thunder

Episode 2

They arrived at the police station and they took off his clothes, collected all the money in his pocket and his phone and locked him up in a cell where there were about 5men. The place was dirty and smelly, with different things written and drawn on the walls with chalks, he wondered who gave them chalk to draw all these rubbish, there was a nice drawing of a naked woman on the wall and another drawing of a woman’s private part and all other nonsense. The men looked at him as he came in; he saw someone who was relaxing on the wall with another waving a piece of cartoon to his face; this was something he saw in movies but now he was seeing it real life, he then knew that, that must be the so called king of the cage “o boy, show” the king said to him, he then walked to him quietly. “You no sabi greet Oba abi?” he said to Luke; he had a Yoruba accent “Luke was silent and didn’t alter a word at first “You deaf?” he increased his voice; for peace to reign Luke greeted him “Good Morning” “E dor ba le” another inmate shouted at Luke “E fi le” the King said “What does that mean?” Luke asked and they laughed “O nso Oyibo” the leader said “Lie down and greet” somebody said and Luke smiled “So because I greet you, you won turn me to Mumu abi, e be like say you dey mad” Luke said “Haaaa!!” they shouted; the leader stood up facing Luke eye ball to eye ball, and suddenly he slapped Luke but Luke caught his hand before it got to his face; Luke then gave him a hot slap on his neck and he fainted.

At that moment there was silence in the ‘Realm of thieves’. Luke walked to another part of the cell and sat down close to a man who has been quiet all through the time; Luke was with a strong face. “My name is Ade” the quiet guy said and Luke looked at him for like 3secs then looked away “Luke” he replied “Why are you here?” he asked Luke “False Accusation” Luke said without smiling “Hmmm, that happens a lot” Ade said A police man walked to the cell door “Na who be Ade for here” he said loudly “Na me” Ade said and stood up “Oya come outside, God don save you” the Police officer said and opened the door for Ade to come out.
