Edge Of A knife

After the bleeping, I returned to my apartment, i noticed all was not well, my door was slightly opened, and i remembered locking it properly, before stepping out that day, since it was 8pm, it was quite dark, i reached for my phone, and switched on the touch, and stepped in all alert, i entered the house, to see potoki seated on the only couch available in my room, he looked unperturb at my presence.

Potoki: Please Josh sit. I did instantly, and from the look in his eyes, i could tell all was not well. So i did sit at once.

Me: Baba na wetin happen na?

Potoki: Dem don throw Baba over board he said, witg hint of tears in his eyes.

Me: what?

Potoki: D’baba is dead! As he said it, cold bead of sweat gathered on my fore head it soon circulated round my whole body. This information made me weak. I dropped my back to the chair.

Potoki: Oscar did the hit, when baba traveled to SA, he sent his boys there to off him, and news have reaches us that he is coming back tto school, to end the creed, Tiger has since been recruiting more me, i want you to stay safe and be careful boy. He said patting me and left.

I was dead weak and disoriented, i didn’t know what to do, i called nelson, he too have heard he told me he was about to call me, and tell me the news too because he was still at the mansion. he told me to come over to the mansion, so to stay safe, and i promise i would do that the next day.

I was so deep in thought, thinking about the late D’baba, that i needed something to clear of my thoughts, i remembered Kemi, the girl that bumped on me the other day, i gave her a call, she picked up, we chatted, and she told me she never expected i would call her, because after she gave me her number, for such a long time, it was now i decided to call her, i laughed it off, it was fun with her, i got to learn about her, and she told me she had a boyfriend, and that he wasn’t a student of our school, i was fun with her, she asked me about myself, and i did a brief intro about me to her, she gaze a small laugh, that made me suspect she knew something else about me, but i waved it off i ended the call that night, only a little pacified from my worries, D’baba was gone, and it made us very vulnerable i swear, the next day, at school, people could be seen talkin in hush tone, and it was no other topics that the death of our number one, how news travel far an wide will still remain a mystery to me, because everywhere i went, the news of his death was there, it was as if it was following me.
