Edge Of A knife

Episode 23

Back at Joshua Hometown
Mr Ehi could be seen pacing up and down, he has just watched the news of another massive kill spree at the school where his son studies.

Mrs Imade Ehi: Honey calm down, its going to be fine. She assured her husband.

Mr Ehi: how can you say that it’s going to be fine, when the killing rate is increasing everyday, and my boy is right there in the said school.

Mrs Imade: Common honey, i called him yesterday, he assured me he was going to be fine.

Mr Ehi: why didn’t you ask him to come home? What if they start killing innocent people, i don’t want anything to happen to my boy oh. He stated his fear. Only if he knew, his boy was one of the hitmen, terrorizing the school.

Mrs Imade: if you are so concerned about his safety, why don’t you call him.

Mr Ehi: Yea i think that’s the best thing to do, let him come home. He picked up his phone, and called his boy!

My phone rang out loud, interrupting the sweet atmosphere i was savouring through the cold bath i was having that morning, at the mansion, I quickly round off my bathing section, and tied my towel, and went for the call, by now the phone has stopped ringing, i swiped through, to see the caller, it was Dad! What? I called back instantly, but he hang up and called again.

Dad: My boy! He said, and i could notice some excitement in his voice.

Me: Dad! how are you?

Dad: Am good son, How are you too?

Me: I am fine sir.

Dad: Are you sure? Because this issue of incessant killings in your school, is really getting on my old nerves.

Me: Common dad, i will be fine. I am sticking to the curfew rule install by the school authorities. I said calmly

Dad: Don’t give me those craps boy, I want you to come home at once considering the fact that you did not come home during holiday.

Me: What?? No dad, I can’t home now, I still attend classes, there might be an impromptu test, i don’t want any drop on my GPA.

Dad: Hmm be careful boy, i really don’t know how to convince you home now, be safe. We love you, he said and dropped the call, while i heaved i sigh of relief. This man been on my neck na trouble oh.
