I took a step backward .

Me: “you don come this side?”.

Nepa guy: “you nko? Wetin you de do for here?”.

Me:”ahhh me i be citizen na

“nepa guy: “wey my money?”

me: “haba i no hold you money na”.

Captain overheard our conversation and came out.

Captain: “blue who you the talk with….ahhh broz na you….” he extended a handshake.

The nepa guy said he resigned from his job. Who im dey lie for? Something wey dem sack am e come dey talk rubbish.

Everyone had retired to their rooms. I was playing grand theft while captain was making a call.

My phone beep, i had a message. My pman had sent half a million to my account. I was happy. I was sure going to enjoy my stay in calabar.

“why you dey smile? You don mad?” captain asked. “madness don catch me na”

“na you talk am o…tomorrow we dey start work o”

“work? Abeg shun that one”.

“me i dey start o de only money i get na 70k”.

“if you like na”.

When night was creeping in, we went out and sat on a wood in the front of the compound The was a log of wood on the ground with bricks, we went to sit down.

Joe suggested we go back to hotel we had slept so that he can hook up with prostitute faster.

Captain and i disagreed with them. How will you spend money sleeping with every thing you see on skirt. Captain was angry. They started throwing words at each other, passersby were giving glances at us. I didnt expect rock to join joe. Joe’s case was understood, his own na curse. But rock took up the argument to another level.

“i use my money pay for house and you go come carry prostitute enter” i was surprised. So it was captain that paid for the house.

“na so you go talk ehhh? You no follow do yesterday?’.

“no mind am” joe added.

“no worry carry girl enter my house na, you go see”

“na so? The money wey i pay for hotel yesterday nko? The babe wey you do no be me pay am?” joe ranted.

“no worry i talk anything?” captain asked.

I didnt join them in their argument.

I just sat listening to them. At first i think say na play o

“i go bring babe come this house tonight and you no go fit do anything” joe said rising from his seat. Captain laughed.

“if you get liver, small muscle you no get…” captain mouthed.

“muscle? No be blue here nack you? Ehhh you think say i i….i….mtcheww e be like say i don too play with pikin….if you play with goat you go smell goat” ahhhhh? I really expected captain to rise that moment and give him the beatings of his life, but he didnt move, he was staring into space with an evil grin on his dark lips. I wondered what was going on his mind. He slowly rose from the log.

“semanaya ilopak kekerila aposu” he said in a language i havent heared in my entire life before. Who knows maybe it had become extinct. Or was he a christian? Was he speaking in tongues? No! Dey guy bad pass satan sef.

“guy repeat that thing…talk am again” he said walking close to joe. He stupidly said it again.

I again expected him to dash on joe and tear him into pieces.

He only gave him a deadly look. I dont know if joe was high or something. The next thing i witnessed was joe pushing him. Ahhhh! Dey guy don pass boundary be dat.

He laughed, very loud.Captain bounced back into the house. Minutes later he emerged with his wallet and walked past us. I was surprise and so was everyone. Even powerful joe and rock the great orator were silent. He walked to where god knows. I saw him asking a women something. Guess it was directions. Was captain leaving us, finding a new house?

We sat there hours, anticipating his return, none of us spoke a word. I decided to break the tension.

“joe you no try o ”

“no talk any rubbish o”he said standing up. No one told me to keep shut.

After some minutes, we saw captain alighting from a bike. He had somthing in his hands. It was a matchet. He walked over to us. I swear he wasnt smiling.
