Great-Kali was just staring at me smiling as I returned his gazed.

ME: Don’t take it that far, just hear me out

GREAT-KALI: My ears open talk

ME: I’m sorry for trying to go with your money, I did it because my mum needs to be operated and I don’t have the money they demanded for. I wanted to ask for your help but………..

ME: I’ll but that will be when I’ve started working

GREAT-KALI: I can’t wait, I will give you automatic employment… Deal or No Deal?

(For my mother’s sake I have to concur)

GREAT-KALI: I said Deal or No Deal??

ME: Deal…

He took what he came back to collect and ask me to join him to his business joints, so I can start learning….

I watched him from afar as he successfully rob people their wallets and run with some girls bag. Towards the evening of that day he told me to give a try by snatching the bag of a woman that was buying cosmetics in a shop, just to please him I agreed.

I observed the woman from some distance before approaching the shop. My first move was to interrupted her conversation with the owner of the shop by asking for a Rolex wrist watch.

“We don’t sale wrist watch here but you can get from the boutique which is at the junction of this road.

“I thank her for the information she gave me, and took some steps ahead to ease the race i’m about taking. Before they could realised, I have already pushed the lady who was less observant while I was discussing with the owner of the shop, took the big hand bag which was my target and zoom off like a ghost, they started shouting thief!!!!

But I didn’t mind as I ran off activating some zig-zig momentum, entering one street to another. I turned back and saw about twenty hefty men ahead and some little children running after me. See me see wahala!

I continued with the race until I got exhausted, there was no way I could stop because the guys were getting closer, as their voices echoed in my ears, We go kill am today!!

The voices were scaring and I was forced to see if they have almost bridge the gap, behold I saw Great-kali with the men carrying a long rod running after me. It was just as if he betrayed me, I couldn’t help it and ran into a primary school which was fenced without a gate, and hid myself in one of the class room.

There I was, praying not to be caught. I haven’t settled when I heard a voice giving out instructions.

“Search everywhere, he should be hiding in one of the classes.

I quickly put the bag inside one of the locker and lay under the desk, soonest someone walk into the class where I was, he got to the desk where I was laying and hit me gently with the rod he was holding. I stood up and saw Great-kali smiling as he gave me a thumb up.

He ask me to stay inside and went out to meet the others,

“The guy has escape oo, I saw him climbing the fence at the back of that class, but couldn’t get hold of him as he jump to the other side. Hearing this they all ran out following the description Great-kali gave them.

Great-Kali came back to the class where I was, gave me a new shirt to put on and package the stolen bag in a nylon. We left for home following another route in order not to meet those weird guys who can kill any criminal.

— — — —

Great-kali and myself discharge all the stuffs in the bag one after the other. First was a pack of always pad, next was make-up kit, a purse which was inside the bag, Jewelries, set of comb, a mirror and lots more.

I was boiling inside me, not seeing anything like money and ask Great-kali to forget about those things and open the purse that we brought out. He did as I instructed and to our greatest surprise the purse contain some clean one thousand naira note which were neatly arranged.

I boldly took it from him and started counting;

ME: 1,2,3,4,5…….10…20… 30… 40… 50… 60… Spit some saliva on the tips of my fingers and continued… 61k… 70… 80… 90… 100… 110k

( Great-kali who was counting with me stood up)

GREAT-KALI: Guy we don hammer, 100k is my one week savings and you were able to have it for just a day, one hundred and ten thousand nai_ra…. You see! We blacks can’t understand things of the spirit.
