--continuation--
Mayor was seated in his living inside his three bedroom apartment. Five heavily built guys were seated on the couch around the cenre table and several pictures, cut out pictures from magazines, calendars, newspapers laid on the table as they discussed.
"Baba, how stuffs na?" The most built of the guys asked.
"Nothing much jare. I still dey feel Dragon's death." Mayor replied.
"Baba, nothing do you. You gats carry am off body." The guy said.
"I dey tell you, that Clara girl fit be witch." Another of the guys said as everyone bursted into laughter.
It was no news that the most closest of the guys to Mayor was Dragon. He performed a role similar to that of a personal assistant, he handled messages in the absence of the boss, he excecute missions single handedly in the absence of the boss, as well as making desicions in the absence of Mayor. Hence, the reason why Mayor trusted him with everything he has, including his bank details and family identity. And the guys knew that, no amount of persuassion could bring Mayor out of his depressed mood, even though seeing him laugh gave them assurance that things could only get better.
"Clara is a silly detective." Mayor said. "Can you imagine, Dragon was driving her out of Lagos when she saw a boy and stopped to pick him up. It was during that period that she was spotted by another detective." He explained.
"Silly witch." The guys added, followed by another round of laughter, only that this time, Mayor didn't join them.
"So, wetin go happen now? We have so much on our table." The youngest of the guys asked pointing to the pictures and papers on the table.
"I dey go golf club on sunday to clear my head." Mayor replied.
The guys exchanged looks. Mayor was not someone who plays golf or enjoys watching the game of golf. The few times he had visited the Ikoyi club, it was strictly business. The first time, they went to attack a politician, the second time they transacted a drug deal, even though, they ended up getting the drugs off the seller and they still returned home with their money. The last time which was the most recent was when they were paid to tail a particular business man, and the tailing which started at the golf club, ended at the golf club. And now, Mayor deciding to visit the club could only mean one thing. Flying solo or on the other hand, flying solo.
"Baba, job dey?" One of the guys asked.
"Nothing dey. I can't fly solo at this period. You know how crowded the club is always on sundays? I'll like to mingle with people and get people's contact. Who knows?" Mayor explained.
"Jah bless your hustle baba."
"One of you will be going with me. I intend going with my nephew. You know Christopher, don't you? Tina's son."
"No wahala na. But we still never discuss this lady's matter o. Mrs Adeola Martin. The little boy she asked us to kidnapp." One of the guys reminded.
"Which on be that?" Mayor asked.
"You have forgotten the story? The woman claimed her husband no longer loves her, but is now obsessed with the son he had with another woman."
"Oh oh oh! I remember, but You no show me pictures na." Mayor said.
"Baba, don't worry. We can handle it."
"That's good then. And don't forget, you are going with me on sunday." Mayor said before standing up. "I wan sleep small." With this, he walked out of the living room.

"The Mayor was seated..."

Could be better and simply written, 'the Mayor sat...'

Read and re-read your works to yourself over and over again. Don't just tell us what happened, but rather show us what's happening... You have a nice storyline here and only thing crippling the intense of it is that you're telling it...

What if Dee decides to get the work publish? Where would you expect he starts his proof reading from? Mistakes are bound to be made and correction is the only way to make things right. Please, let them correct them. I'm sure Dee stands to be corrected as no one is an island of knowledge + me as an individual not only learn from these writers bt also from their readers who took it upon themselves to correct them.

My dear, every writer want/need corrections & criticisms to improve,yes! We understood perfectly what he meant,but dee needs correction,and the critic is doing it in a civil and polite way. If you see where others are correcting eeh,you go fear!

Good morning guys. In response to some comments that were dropped yesterday, I want to use this opportunity to repeat the everyday request that we writers make. "Do not hesitate as a reader to point out mistakes, grammatical blunders and any form of oversight in our works."
The reason why this story is being put up here is not to entertain the readers, but to get criticised and corrected in any way. And I hope to gettl more of those as the story progresses.
