INTERLUDE: THE CHANCE MEETING
I walked into the fast food joint and looked around nervously. I was the first of my company to arrive even though i wasnt the only one there. A couple sat at the extreme left hand corner close to the air conditioning, laughing away and having a good time over soft drinks and fried rice. A young man sat in the empty seat on the other side, sipping a drink I couldn't recognize and watching the match on the LED tv placed just infront of him on the wall. He wore a white suit and trousers with gold lining that sparkled when he moved. a pair of dark shades covered his eyes and a trim hat sat atop his head. He reminded me of Michael Jackson in his glory years.

i surveyed the place for somewhere isolated, somewhere i could make an ass of myself without being easily seen. I picked the centre isle, third row; a double sette with a centre table in-between them. I walked briskly to the seat and sat down.

She would be here anytime soon. I wanted it all to be just perfect. I looked at the dj behind the bar who nodded at me in acknowledgement before continuing his mixing. he was playing a jazz tune, a melody that called out to my soul. the warmth and strong confidence the music exuded helped in calming my nerves as I took deep even breaths.

the door opened and two men walked in, both of average height and both wearing black tops and denim jean trousers. they stared at everyone and I saw the master of greed and mischief behind them, his whip in hand stroking their backs and egging them on.

They were going to rob the place.

I caught my breath in horror. Really? Tonight of all nights? And a restaurant? Who in their right minds would rob a restaurant?
These folks were going to spoil the romantic mood i was trying to create. there was no way i wouldn't have to intervene in this matter.

The men approached seemingly casually, making a beeline for the lady behind the bar and the cash register. I waited until they had passed then got up silently from my seat. I followed them from behind and waited patiently for them to make the first move.

"her, sister! come here!" one of the men said roughly.

"Wetin una go chop?" she asked innocently as she approached. suddenly she froze. One of the men had showed her a gun.

"If you make 'pem!' I will shoot you. Oya open this tellar and bring out all the money." he said.


"Yes and do it quickly and silently!" the other one said.

"Yeah but why should she though?" I said as the men whirled round to face me. "Its not like it is your money."

the first man brought out the gun that he had been concealing and pointed it at my face. "So you think say you be hero abi? Move back!"

He hadn't completed the sentence before I had the gun in my hand. They both looked bewildered for a moment as I gently set the safety to off and put the gun on the nearest table.

"Gentlemen, I know this is going to sound weird, but can you do this another time? I'm expecting my girlfriend and I don't want to spoil the mood of this eatery."

"How did you...na jazz you use?" the other man asked, mouth agape. I shrugged.

"Cat-like reflexes. You get it after fighting cat-like creatures like a man-animal. Its a long story, never mind...look, about what were were discu..."

The first man threw a punch that connected squarely to my jaw. So much for cat-like reflexes. I stumbled backwards as the waitress screamed and the couple at the corner struggled to hide under their table. I turned to face them...and saw the Michael Jackson character had entered the fray.

he punched the first man that had struck at me and ducked the blow from the second man, sticking his foot out to trip him over in the process. As the first man made a grab at him and caught him he whirled round and karate-kicked him in the gut. The man buckled, going down and vomiting all over himself. The second man who had recovered from his fall charged him and pushed him to the service counter, smashing his back against the hard wood. I made to run forward but the guy in white grappled the man by the neck and put him in an elbow lock. As the man in white squeezed, the second criminal choked and gasped for breath. In a final effort the criminal raised the guy in white from his feet and flung him over his head. He landed in a crash behind the bar and beside the waitress who apparently had been hiding where he fell. She screamed and ran back. as the criminal looked over the counter the guy in white struck out, smashing a bottle of star on his head. The second criminal promptly passed out.

I watched in fascination as the man in white jumped over the counter and tied up the two men. The first guy who had been kicked in the stomach was still writhing in pain. The greed manifestation had completely disappeared. After securing their hands and feet with very strong plastic clips, he sauntered up to me.

"You know, you could have helped." He said.

"Well I wanted to, but you were doing so well by yourself" I replied. "I'm impressed. Do you fight for a living?"

"Well, kind of. I'm a chief security officer. Name is Jeffery. Jeffery Jamez with a Z."

"Chukwudi. B." I replied. We shook hands.

"Guess I'll have to call the cops to clean up this mess." He said, lazily bringing out his phone. "Damn, it was supposed to be my night off. My Birthday."

"happy Birthday Jeffery." I said. "Take it easy on the cake."

Jeffery snorted. "Yeah, well. No cake for me. I don.t think my folk remembered and its almost 9pm. So i cane here to celebrate alone."

"I don't know what you are talking about." I said. "Your surprise party started about an hour ago. No one can reach you because you switched your cell phone off. Mirabel is pissed already. There's a huge and quite embarrassing birthday cake with your age on it waiting for you to cut open. So i would suggest you make the call and get home as quickly as you can."

he looked at me, stunned.

"How did you know Mirabel? Who..."

"Make the call. I'll take care of things from here."


Jeffery grinned. "she had you follow me didn't she?"

I smiled. "You'll be late."

He smiled and waved as he took off, taking out his cellphone to call the police as he did so.

I turned around to see the couple still cowering under the table and the two now unconscious crooks on the floor. the waitress was nowhere to be seen. I sighed.

This was definitely not a romantic environment.


THE END


Happy birthday to my Chief Security Officer,Jeffery Jamez!
