Chief Oluwaseun pants holding the golf bat, Senator Tunde and Senator Lawal noticed his troubled face and looked retired to meet him.
“What troubles you?”
Senator Lawal asked.
Amongst the clique of his friends, senator Lawal appeared to be more chatty and homely due to the fact that he is a family man, but that still doesn’t purge him of the fact that his hands were stained. Unlike Senator Tunde who is more dubious than the rest and seems to also be fixed and hard driven, a very cold hearted man.
“Why are you so troubled my friend?”
Senator Tunde said  
“Same person friends, I think I have gotten her to the extreme of her sadness, I think now she’s mad.”
“Sounds new”
Senator Tunde said as he dropped the golf ball and its bat.
“Did you know that child threatened to take the male child of mine?”
“Interesting”
Senator Tunde said. Chief Oluwaseun was pissed off no doubt and not Senator Tunde to add to it.
“Tunde please, I’m not prepared for this cold part of you”
Chief Oluwaseun said as he sat on the park's bench.
“So what are you going to do about it?”
“Not like I have any plans or idea right now Lawal, I mean, you know how daring that girl can be and to some extent, I hate it”
“So why didn’t you eliminate her the moment you had the chance”
“The girl just does not want to die, do you know how many times I shot her?”
“I think we should target the hospital next, I mean those guys are becoming too professional, when last did you hear a death report from the hospital”
“I will rather blame these well-equipped school”
Senator Lawal added.
“I mean there’s no longer fun in the educational systems anymore where you could hear about carryovers or drop out, the lecturers just teach so good these students like though it’s a revenge mission of their poor days.”
“Seriously guys…? Are you both being real now? I’m having an issue here, my first sons life is at stake”
“What was her condition?”
“That she speaks with Oluwaseyi”
“And where is Oluwaseyi?”
“The den?”
Chief Oluwaseun responded with surprise that his friends didn't know his den.
“Wait! Wait! Wait! Let me get this straight, you men don’t know where I keep my target”
Senator Lawal and Senator Tunde look at each other.
Sighs.
“Unbelievable”
“Okay, okay…. Now what do you plan on doing with Oluwaseyi?”
“Keep him as a pet? Kill him of course if Rotimi tries anything insane”
This made Senator Lawal smirk with a brow raise he wasn’t expecting, but he got such comforting words.
“These are comforting enough, and I think that settles this dispute then”
Senator Lawal said still with a brow raised looking at Chief Oluwaseun who raised both brow because he got the message.
“That’s awesome mehnn... thank you, you’re such a brother indeed”
Chief Oluwaseun said as he shook Tunde’s hands, and hugged Senator Lawal.
Once again the villains shared another happy moment.

 Rotimi stood by the balcony of the bridge close to the subway, she stared into the water and imagined how deep it would actually be for one to jump into.
Then the events of the girl that died before her eyes flashed back and her head started hurting then she jumped off the bridge and deep into the water she went. There was an up thrust between her body and the water, that didn’t allow her to sink too deep considering such a height of jump. And like though all her memories were being erased from the time she jumped into the water till the first time she jumped into the water at her dad’s vigil, all the hurting words from her brother down to her mother, that of Sam and especially that of Chief Oluwaseun.
Her memories were just playing in her head like through a horror movie being fast warded  and only the fangs of the devourer were seen.
“Seyi!”
She uttered slowly as Seyi was the only one who always believed in her and her recovery, she hated Sam so much that jerks up screaming his name. She opened her eyes and found out that she was in a river and not a swimming pool.
“Shit!”
She exclaimed as she found her way out to the rivers bank. When she was out she laughed at the imagination she had.
“Being pursued by fishes?”
Later that evening she drives to her mother’s house. She gets in and heads to the room where her mother stayed. Mrs Ayo laid with her hands inside the baby bathtub, piles of babies’ clothes on her left, the kids sleeping on the bed sweetly, Rotimi could tell that she was very exhausted. She squats beside her mother and takes her hands carefully out of the bathtub and wipes the soap off her hands with the dried cloth, tears race to her eyes as she wipes them off gently enough to not make a squeak.
She took the bath aside and laid her mum gently to rest.
“I really want to blame you for all these careless acts mother and also careless about anything that concerns you, sincerely……”
Sniffs.
“I guess my name would always speak for you Mrs Ayo”
She said as she took over the washing, the more she washed the more her head hurts as she will not stop to remember those happy moments as kids when she should jump around the neck of her mother. She smiled and continued washing.
Her mother jerks and finds out that Rotimi was in and she was washing the clothes, she smiles and looks at her
“I really want to say sorry, but no amount of words can heal you right now”
“And no amount of actions you do out of the torments of that man will stop you from being my mother”
Rotimi said in response as she turned around and hugs her mother.
“Happy moments seem to last shorter than sad ones”
“Then let’s enjoy it while it last”
Rotimi responded to the sad whispers from her mother.
