“What are you talking about?” She looked straight into his eyes. “I need a divorce!” Addy almost fainted. He did not even realize that his phone was ringing until she told him. He felt his hands shaking as he picked the call. “Hello.” He said.
“Addy, Usman has just being rushed to hospital. He is dying.”
“I have a bigger problem right now.” Addy responded to the caller.
“What? That is your uncle and he has about ninety billion with him if we are going to pay back. He must tell us some things before he dies.”
“Okay, sir.” He said then looked at Lori. Her pretty face was alluring, and he wished he could just grab her and kiss her. He went on his knees. He dropped his haughtiness; this was the power of a woman in display.
Who knew what Generals, kings, governors did behind closed doors with a woman? Those beings had some hidden powers and Addy was one of those men captured in a trance, as if hypnotized by a woman.
He had seen women in their splendor, and used and dumped a lot but Lori got him stuck. “Please don’t leave. I am travelling and be sure the issue would be cleared. I am coming back to get everything back to normal…even better.” She gave him a vague smile.
“I am getting bored. We used to travel round the world, five star hotels, and entertainment shows but we have been stuck to just watching the shoki dance boys for long.” She said.
“Do not worry. I promise to bring Arianna Grande for your birthday.” He said.
“We are going to have a yacht party and be sure Justin Bieber would be there. All I need is to talk to the head of entertainment wing of my people and it is done.” He saw a glint in her eyes. She was a valley girl and so worldly.
“What are you? Why do you command so much power?.....in the past.” “Not the past.” He said knowing he was at the verge of losing the power, money and her. He was making empty promises, hoping to buy more time. He could not afford to lose her. Oh no! Where was Justin? If really he was alive, he could come to their aid!
“I have a dying uncle. I need to be at the hospital.” She nodded. He picked the car keys and said, “I love you, Lori.”
“Thank you.” She replied. He expected her to say something else but it seemed she was done. He left and rushed outside. As he drove out to the hospital, the SUV resumed its trail. Gajere was not to be deceived easily. He had not gone back as they thought. He was now sure the car was following Addy. They were around ! Sent from above.

Petra was siting between Justin’s legs as he used a sharp object to loosen her plaited hair’
They were sitting in their living room. She planned to go and plait her hair and he offered to help her loosen the plaited hair.
“You are trying, my love.” She said as she saw that he had gone half way.
“Yeah but there is something missing.” He said, put the object between a twine, and pulled the hair apart.
“What is missing?” Petra asked.
“We are not gossiping. Plaiting and gossiping move along well.” He responded and she laughed. “I am serious. When girls plait, it is then you will hear, ‘ hmmmm, wonders shall never end..and it goes up.”
“Are you saying guys don’t gossip?” she asked.
“God forbid!” He yelled softly with a smile.
“Please spare me. Even old men gossip and they will call it politics. When someone dies, it is better after burying him, Prophet SAW said do not stay long there. Just go, greet, pray and leave. But you see men, with canopies, and the next thing will be gossip and football talk. The issue of the deceased is forgotten. It will be gossip, politics, and football.”
“Miss Sunshine, by the time they are doing these, where are the women? They are inside like it is a wedding ceremony. Looking at each other’s style of clothes, what Dije did to Saude, how Kuluwa’s husband is treating her.
It is the spirit of gossip that radiates from them that hit the men and hypnotize them to do 5% of what the women are doing.”
“Men will beat women flat when it comes to gossiping.”
“Sweetheart, the chairperson of Gossiping international Organization is a woman, same as the secretary and other key members. Read the History of gossiping by Fadila, the originator is a woman. The first 100 gossiping champions are women.”
“Now you just proved me right.” She said.
“You even know the names of the organizations and key offices, and books. That shows that men are more current when it comes to gossip. I have never heard of these.
I am hearing of the detailed world of gossip from a man. Are you the information officer?” He Laughed and grabbed her from behind then kissed her on the lips.
The chiming of her phone disengaged them. Justin hissed jokingly.
“Who calls at the wrong time?”
“Someone who wants to save me.” She said.
“Who knows what this would have led to?”
“It may have led to ……”
“I don’t want to hear….my innocent ears.” She said.
“It’s Ummi(my mother)….Hello ……..inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji’un! Where? When? How?.....toh..!” She ended the call and tears began to cascade.
“It is father! He is dying at the hospital.” Petra said.
“SubahanAllah! What happened?” Justin asked in surprise.
“I don’t know. He is at Shukuran Hospital.” She said and rushed inside to get dressed. Twenty minutes later, they were entering the hospital. They saw Addy, his father, her siblings except three who were out of town, all standing.
Was he dead? What was going on? She rushed towards Hajiya Biliki who was tryng to calm her nerves.
“What happened?” she asked
“I just went into the room and found him gasping for breath. He is inside. The doctors would not allow us see him now” Gajere walked in with his stealth attitude moved towards Aminu. He excused him and moved aside.
“They are around.” He said in a low tune. “ BOE agents. They have come to take Addy away. They are making sure he does not get out of sight. They have about three cars.” Aminu felt stuffy. Something seemed to be rising to his head.
The dreaded time has come. He was impersonating Tiger 606 and that was a crime against the organization. Mason would do whatever he could to cover his tracks and that made them vulnerable and dispensable.
He looked at Addy and Alhaji Jangfa and nodded at them. They joined him. Hajiya Biliki was watching them, seeing the agitation on their faces. She was only concerned about her husband because of the bond, and being the father of her children but the treatment he meted on Justin was bad.
He also got into this mess without checking his conscience, and integrity. He was so blind and hungry for money and power. Nemesis. Now it was the homeless, parentless, poor, uneducated Justin that they were looking for.
Where on Earth were they going to find him ?Where? Jangfa was just wearing a tight lip and his cheeks seemed to have inflated.
He just refunded twenty billion naira to the government as he was pressurized. Where was he going to get such an amount to pay back? He was facing a straight way to being broke. He never knew all of these. Now the people were around to take Addy to USA for the test.
Petra and her siblings were perturbed. She knew her father was wrong in many ways but she wanted him alive. The doctor had told them it was a heart attack triggered by high blood pressure and his condition seemed to be worsening.
Addy heard a notification in his phone. He quickly checked it and saw something that made him cringe: it was the picture of the cartoon he made when he was a kid, making fun of Justin, as a super hero of dump site.
Was this real? Was he going barmy? He showed his father.
“Who sent this? “Aminu asked.
“I don't know. It is not on my contact list. “Aminu sighed. “Justin is alive! “ He said with a tinge of hope .” Call the number. We need Help “ Addy dialed but it was not available.
“Oh, please.... “ Aminu started when he also received a message. He opened it: Why? You deprived me of my parents and wealth, maltreated me and tried to kill me. Now there is trouble. I just called to say I have forgiven you. Good bye.
“No! Addy call him, I will send him a message..... “ They were seriously scared now. Justin was alive but he was not going to help them. He just reminded them of what they did to him. Only Petra knew Justin was there. Hajiya Biliki was watching them.
“I am closer than you think.” Addy heard someone say, turned and saw Jubril.
“I am Justin Abbas. Baba Aminu Saminu, Tiger 606.” Aminu got the greatest shock of his life!
