Episode 25

Two days later… As Luke drove to the gate of Zeus’s compound he saw 7 articulated Lorries parked outside the compound, he drove into the compound and parked his car then went into the house where he met Zeus discussing with two men, he walked to Zeus and Zeus introduced him to the men and told him that they were hired to drive those trucks into town and that he had also hired some ladies who would go into town with them to distribute the items in the lorries. And after some time they left and Luke asked Zeus what was in the trucks “The seven lorries are carrying different items like bags, phones, bags of rice, electronics, kitchen utensils.

Toys and drinks” “It’s a good thing to give out like this” “Yes and we need the people in our favor so as to bring down the present government” “I smell revolution” Luke said “Your sense of smell is fully active” “I have waited for the moment when someone rise up against this corrupt thieves and stand against the plutocratic government and bring real change to the people” “That time is now Luke… that time is now” Zeus said smiling… Two Days Later… As Luke arrived at Zeus’s house Ade informed him that Zeus was out to meet some persons to discuss creating a political party “So what are up to?” Luke asked Ade “Nothing much, am just doing studies” “Come on give yourself a break and do something else; go have fun” “There is no time for fun and besides I have more information on Saheed Ganiu” “Tell me” Luke said “He has a Swiss account” Ade said “Good, how much is in it?” “Approximately 400 million dollars” “God damn” “Guess what?” “What” “I can hack into the account and get the money” Ade said “Good, so do it” “I can’t from Nigeria unless I go to Switzerland” “That’s not a problem?” Luke said “Yes, so I’m leaving for Switzerland tomorrow” “Good, does Zeus know?” “Yeah” “Alright, I need a drink” Luke said standing up and walked to the wine bar “I’ll be right back, let me round up something in my room” Ade said and went upstairs Luke sat by the bar and after about 5mins Jameel came down “Luke?” she called out and he was a little bit startled at the sound of her voice, he then turned to look at her “Jameel” he said and smiled as he dropped the glass on the table; she then walked to him and sat on a stool facing him “How are you?” she asked as she looked into his eyes with a little smile “i… I am fine” he couldn’t hold his gaze “What’s the problem?” she asked “Nothing” he replied and raised his head “You have been avoiding me for weeks now” “Nah” “We used to chat online but now you hardly come online and you even ignore my messages, when you come here you try your best as to avoid me” “Jameel please… you know why” he said “No I don’t” she said immediately “I don’t want Zeus to find out about this and besides we have been very busy lately doing thing together” “Things that are more important than your feelings” she asked and he was silent for 3secs “My feelings for you are very much important but so are other matters” he explained “I see” she said as she looked away “Please Jameel don’t put words into my mouth” Luke said “Everyone has the right to love, you better start realizing that before somebody else takes what belongs to you” she said and stood up and walked away “Jameel?” he called but walked away It then dawned on him that she was almost out of his life and he felt bad about it; he couldn’t stay anymore so he left…
