THE ADJACENT EPISODE 11:
Lana’s plan was to meet up with Nikky at the
Civic Center, get on a boat to the location to
their meeting with Karim.
However, Lana ran into a little hitch that had to
entail getting money from the Bank personally.
Lana’s operational account was with EcoBank,
due to the amount he needed, he went to the
headquarters on Ahmadu Bello way.
His account officer had made some calls already
before Lana got to the Bank HQ, he was warmly
received at the entrance of the architectural
edifice. He was greeted by Anna, a petite
amiable lady.
She continued “Good morning, Mr. Reis, my
name is Anna. Your branch has contacted us”
Lana replied “Morning Anna, please I would
appreciate it if you drop the Mister, Call my Lana
or Reis, which ever floats your boat”
She replied him with a smile and led him to her
office on the second floor, a tastefully furnished
office. Anna’s pictures were on the table. He sat
on the guest side and she made her way to the
other side of the table.
Anna started another conversation, wishing to
thank him for using their bank but Lana wasn’t in
the mood for her patronage. He brought out the
cheque leaflet already filled and signed, pushed it
to her over the desk. Anna picked up the
cheque, picked her reading glasses from the
table, held it out and read it to herself.
It was at this time that Lana noticed her
cleavage that was almost spilling out of her
black tight fitting dress. Her color tone was
chocolate, very pretty face. If he didn’t have the
pressure Nikky was heaping on him maybe he
could score this girl, all he had to do was call
Alexandro to send him some custom diamond
necklace with Anna engraved in it.
That move worked most times but he couldn’t
be bothered to do that now, Nikky’s pressure
was already telling on him. She had called him
about 5 times within the last few minutes he had
been in the Bank.
Lana bellowed to her “Please Anna, can you
hasten this for me ”
Anna replied “Sure, what drink would you like or
how would you like to be entertained. It might
take a while in the banking hall”
Anna followed her response with a flirty smile.
Lana would have enjoyed all the flirting bulk she
was throwing at him but not today.
He replied “I have less than 30 minutes, I don’t
need any form of entertainment”
His reply was firm.
As she left her office, Lana was tempted to look
as she walked past him, he noticed the ass on
her, cute he said to himself. His thoughts were
interrupted by Nikky’s call. He picked the call
“Hello Nikky” Lana said
“How long will you be in the bank for? We need
to meet up for about 6pm. We need to discuss
some issues before we meet with Karim” Nikky
replied
“No problem, I just need to get out of this bank
as soon as I can, it isn’t by mouth to cash a
cheque at 5:30pm” Lana boasted
Nikky replied “Call me when you get out, and for
the records, I have cashed a cheque at 7pm
before so don’t flatter yourself”
Lana responded “I know someone who cashed a
N49 Million cheque during the strike…not
weekend…during the strike…”
The boast was getting more interesting at this
point but Nikky had a way of ending things as
she said the last one.
“Lana, there is someone I will like you to meet,
when he signs a cheque, the bank will bounce “
Nikky replied and ended the call.
Lana smiled and made a cocky remark to himself.
A few minutes later, Anna walks into the office
with 2 brown paper bags; she drops it on the
table and says
“Here is your N15 Million, Lana”
Lana gets up, she tries to make eye contact but
Lana doesn’t seem interested but he thought
about it again. He picked up her pen and a paper
on her desk and nicely scribbled his number
unto the paper and wrote LR underneath the
number then handed it to her.
He looked at her and said “Its better you give
me a call next week, this week is clogged for
me”
He walked out of her office and he could sense
that if he turned back he would probably catch
her moon walking to show her excitement that
he finally noticed her efforts to seduce him. As
he walked to his car, he thought about how
ladies throw themselves at him just because
they know he’s rich and good-looking, none of
them knew how hard he worked for his money,
only interested in having their own share of the
Reis cake.
He nicely arranged the paper bags in the car and
drove off.
The time was 8pm, Nikky was heading to the
Civic Center, already spoke with Lana, who was
also heading there as well.
Nikky was the first to arrive at the venue, Lana
parked his car and walked towards the boat, he
could spot Nikky in the dashing evening wear she
was putting on. He wondered to himself if Nikky
was going there to seduce the man or talk
business. Lana was put on a simple white native
with little or no embroidery on it, custom fit by
the way.
Nikky’s boobs were a distraction for Lana,
anytime he saw those fun bags, he always tried
to image how red her areolas would be.
Lana asked “Are we going there to seduce the
man or talk business?”
Nikky replied “Actually, we’re doing the both,
these guys fight dirty, I can assure you of that,
you might as well bring out everything in your
arsenal”
They were still there, laughing and talking waiting
for the Karim’s luxury boat to come when Lana
saw a canoe with guys wearing masks
approached them, the whole part of what was to
come played in slow motion to him as they guys
brought out AK47 and started spraying whatever
and everything at the dock.
Lana and Nikky ran to hide behind the fence as
the most difficult 60 seconds of their lives
passed them by. They were both panting from
the race for their lives, coming out after
everything, smoke was everywhere, the light
blue cruiser was bullet ridden, so many people at
the dock were injured. As Nikky was walking
through, she saw a young boy who led her to a
sitting area earlier on laying dead in the pool of
his own blood as a bullet lodged in his neck, she
helped him close his eyes. Lana received a text
from an unknown number saying
“Karim was killed earlier on today by a car
bomb” Lana kept the information to himself
Nikky started pacing over the place, trying to
put 2 and 2 together, she looked up and said
“Lana, this is an assassination attempt, who did
you tell about this meeting”
Lana replied “Who would I tell? 2 assasination
attempts in a day ?? ” asking himself
Nikky continued talking to herself “Karim is the
only person who knew we will meet here, and I
haven’t even heard from him yet”
Nikky’s phone began to ring
She walked down to receive the call and 10
seconds later, she was back to inform Lana that
Karim was dead and whoever killed him was after
them.
Lana took the news like he was just hearing it
for the first time, meanwhile he was first to hear
but he didn’t want to arouse any suspicion with
Nikky.
Nikky continued by saying “Lana, if we don’t find
whoever wanted to kill us, he might get us
soon”
Nikky found a blank stare on Lana’s face.
