126. EXT. PARK.DAY.
The TWO BUS DRIVERS are at corner of the PARK discussing.
BUS DRIVER II
So, bros, what’s happening now? Have you been able to come up with something?
BUS DRIVER I
Brother, relax! Stay cool for Christ, soon, I mean very soon the affairs of this park will change for good.
BUS DRIVER II
My brother, I’m really getting fed up each day, these two men are frustrating us, we have to do something very fast.
BUS DRIVER I
Well, the bible is always right, it says when the wicked is in authority, the people will mourn but when the righteous is there, the people rejoice; that’s exactly what’s happening now but very soon by the grace of God, it will stop.
BUS DRIVER II
I pray so because we’re Christians and we pay our tithes; we can’t be waking up early, every day only to eat the bread of sorrow in the evening, that’s a devouring spirit.
BUS DRIVER I
Yes bros, I agree with you and it has to be rebuked.
BUS DRIVER II
The earlier we do that, the better for everybody here, at least we’ll succeed in putting smiles on the faces of our colleagues here again.
BUS DRIVER I
I totally agree with you but you need to be a bit patience with me, I’m really working out something; something really genuine to nail them with.
BUS DRIVER II
It’s all right but if you need my help please don’t hesitate to call on me, I will be ever willing to assist you to drive away this evil here.
BUS DRIVER I
Thanks bros!

127. INT. HOTEL. NIGHT.
At the THREE STAR HOTEL with a cozy RESTAURANT and BAR, SHOLA sits at the BAR waiting for COLLINS as previously scheduled while CHIEF and MRS. FIBERISIMA walk in and she sees them and hides.
MRS. FIBERISIMA
Chief, I’m glad you finally kept your promise to take me out after promising all this while.
CHIEF FIBERISIMA
My dear, you know I would love to be doing this regularly but my busy schedules wouldn’t permit me.
MRS. FIBERISIMA
Anyway, I’m really grateful you made time to do that this evening.
CHIEF FIBERISIMA
Henceforth I promise, I will be doing this once every week, you see, I have come to believe what our pastor usually says; pray, work and have fun – a balanced life style not just work, work! All the time.
MRS. FIBERISIMA
Well, I’m glad you know that now.
128. INT. RAY’S RES. NIGHT.
RAY in his LIVING ROOM, holding his MOBILE TELEPHONE close to his EAR, obviously speaking with DAN.
RAY
So, Dan, your last price for that property is what? …N380million? You mean, you’re not gonna step down again? Listen Dan, why don’t you give another discount of say 5%, what do you think?
DAN
Ray, honestly, I wish I could but it’s not possible.
RAY
Come on Dan! It’s possible; you’re the one handling the sales.
DAN
I know but that will amount to under selling the property. Are you the one buying?
RAY
No, no! It’s actually a client of ours, so, let’s talk business now, if I pull this through, how much is my cut?
DAN
My firm makes a 10% profit from it; I’m willing to split that into two with you. Are you okay with that?
RAY
Sure! It seems a nice deal to me if only you’ll keep your own side of the bargain.
DAN
Why not! I’m a Christian now and by the help of the Holy Spirit I try to live a truthful life.
RAY
Danny boy, the Christian! Please don’t just start now with your religious lecture. I will be coming to your office tomorrow with the guy to seal the deal, what time would be convenient for you?
DAN
Mm! between 12pm to 3pm, I would’ve been back from my meetings.
RAY
All right then, so tomorrow by 2pm.
DAN
Okay, I will be waiting.
129. INT. HOTEL.NIGHT.

MRS. FIBERISIMA
Wonders shall never end! Is this not your friend’s wife?
CHIEF FIBERISIMA
Which of my friends?
MRS. FIBERISIMA
Is that not chief Tejuosho’s second wife standing there with a man in a hotel, a married woman?
CHIEF FIBERISIMA
Ah! She’s the one! Chief Tejuosho, indeed you’re really in trouble.
MRS. FIBERISIMA
Well, that’s what happens when a man raise a home without Christ, the devil simply takes over.
CHIEF FIBERISIMA
You’re right my dear, I pray he runs to God for solution before it’s too late for him.
MRS. FIBERISIMA
I pray so too.
…to be continued.
