guys
please I'm sorry for the delay
s/o to Buqqui for helping me out

I owe you one my nigga

"Angela come in" Schemer says "a full house it is. I've been expecting you" he looks at the faces of the others and adds "we, have been expecting you"

Angela quickly hides the gun under the gown she is putting on. She says a little prayer and takes a deep breathe before going in.

Schemer's men all turned around, a little surprised how their boss knew Angela was lurking around. They step aside as Angela walks in majestically, looking unfazed by the current situation.

John opens his mouth. He at once fell in love again, since the first time he'd seen her. Even though unkempt, she looks beautiful. He badly wants to apologize for all the wrongs he'd done to her, and he can only do that if they both leave here alive.

"Now my father in-law is here. The accusation you laid against him then, say it here. I'm itching to kill" Angela says.

"You're still under my custody. I say what I want to say when I like to say it. Alright?" John replies, agitated.

"You honestly don't want to get on my nerves Mister whatever you call yourself" Angela retorts. She tries her best to keep her composure, and not give away any hint that she is scared.

Schemer walks up to her and says, laying emphasis on each syllable "I am Boss here" he turns around, quickly scanning the faces of the other people in the room then adds, shouting "And that hasn't changed and won't be!"

"I just want the truth" Angela says calmly

"Say it and get over with it" John speaks up

"Yes. Spill it kid" Mr Samuel says "Please keep nothing back"

"I didn't ask for your opinions you mórons!" Schemer says "but any ways, enjoy the stories, I'll still give you time for your last prayers"

The whole room was dead silent, except the muffled groans of the Inspector, in pains.

Schemer clears his throat and begins.

"I was in final year, about to graduate, when a lecturer, who was an exco in my fraternity called me. He then introduced me to Mr Samuel"
He then flashes back, whilst telling the story.


------------


Schemer was dressed in a blue tank top with the words 'blue house' inscribed on it, blue baseball cap, a white three-quartered Jean matched with a pair of white sneakers. A toothpick dangling from his mouth, a blue towel hung around his neck. He knocks twice on the Lecturer's door, without waiting for an answer, ushers himself in. He finds himself face to face with a man apparently in his early forties and the lecturer, who's almost the same age with his guest, only a little older, both seated facing each other. He takes his seat beside the other man.

"Weldon Bros" Schemer says after being introduced.

"What's up boy?" Mr Samuel says "I'm Samuel by name" he pauses and stares at the boy's face for a moment. "I'll be brief with you boy. I'm aware of your escapades in this school, and I think guys with your kind of brain are rare gems. So I'll let you work with me, full time. You'll get paid handsomely. Ask your lecturers and other top dawgs, it's I who pull the strings out here. You can forget about your exams, I'll cover everything"

Schemer looks at the lecturer in front of him, before looking back at Mr Samuel.

Mr Samuel, hoping he'd registered a little something, continued. "Like I said, I know every detail that I need to know about you and I promise you, what you'll be doing is something you're already used to"

"Bros, how am I sure that you'll cover my exams just like you promise?" Schemer asks

"I'll start with the next test" Mr Samuel says.

"How much are we talking about first?"

"That will be private but be rest assured that your private car and a crib to call your own are waiting for you"

Schemer sat back and thought for a while, scratching his head slightly, a smile playing on his lips. "Deal" he says finally.

Back to the present

Schemer continues "Since then, I've been doing all kinds of dirty jobs for him. Then he'd approached me about 2 months ago"

Flashback continues


Schemer, dressed in a suit, sits opposite Mr Samuel in Mr Samuel's office. Both of them looks unrelaxed.

"Honestly, I hate to do this but my son is too soft and not good enough for my chain of companies. I was hoping his mom would help but she left too quickly and he doesn't listen to me. I want his wife to take the mantle but he beats her and she succumbs. She's good hearted. I want to reform her." Mr Samuel says, fear written all over him.

"So you think kidnapping her will make him good?" Schemer says.

"I'm a desperate man. Got any better idea?"

Schemer shakes his head.

"Good. Then carry it out then."

They both kept silent for a half a minute before Schemer breaks the silence.

"How do we go about it?"

"Kidnap both of them, and release John like after a day or two. Make Angela see pain, until she takes fate into her own hands, and works out her escape. I believe I don't have to tell you how to go about the kidnapping?"

Schemer nods.

"Good. Watch them closely. I want it neat and discreet, like you'd always done it"

"Yes sir"

Schemer stands to leave.

"You'll get a check of a million naira on your way out, use it for your upkeep"

"Thank you sir" and Schemer walks out.
