Re: The Seven Origbo Files (Series) by Nobody:
Isero Heights


EXT. GBADA'S HUT FRONT - DAY

Ajala appears. He is described as a hunter, wearing a costume, and holding his Dane gun.

AJALA
Who is around?

Tade emerges from the hut. He wears rag-like clothes.

TADE
I'm here, sir.

AJALA
How are you? Where is your father?

TADE
He went to inspect his traps by the river bank down there.

Tade points in the direction of the river.

AJALA
I'll go and meet him there.

Ajala leaves.

EXT. RIVERSIDE - DAY

Gbada gazes at Ajala from a distance. He wears rag-like clothes.

GBADA
Who is this I'm looking at here? Ajala the great hunter! Custodian of doggs and muskets! It's being ages!

AJALA
My undisputed best friend, and palm wine drinker of Lamurudu fame.

Ajala shot into the air. Gbada raises his two hands saluting Ajala, and bangs his right leg on the ground simultaneously.

GBADA
Hunter of life! You brought me games?

AJALA
I'm just returning home since the last two weeks. I sold a deer in Isero. Got a roasted porcupine for you.

GBADA
I trust you. Hunting runs in the veins of your progenitors.

AJALA
Well said. Bolu despises this profession, despite my efforts to groom him.

GBADA
That Tade of a bast.aard has to be dragged to the farm daily. I got a lot to weed.

AJALA
Bolu wants to enroll in the army someday - death sentence!

GBADA
Tade says politicians now control Obaship institution. So he wants to become one.

Gbada laughs.

GBADA(CONT'D)
He knows not that Awolowo schooled abroad before he could rule Western Region.

AJALA
Bolu doesn't know that soldiers run mad after retirement.

GBADA
Let's leave that and discuss important issues.

AJALA
What is the gist in town, man?

GBADA
Our king's kakaki is missing since the day Kukute, the king's herald, disappeared.

We see Tade hiding under a shrub listening to the men's conversation without their knowledge.

AJALA
Phew! I said it. Without a very strong reason, no one names a female child "Kumolu".

GBADA
What do you mean?

AJALA
From the adage, "Kumolu" means death took away a breadwinner. If a female has the name, that means she was born after the death of her family breadwinner.

Ajala gazes into emptiness as if he wants to recall an incident.

AJALA(CONT'D)
I saw kukute in a village somewhere in Isero environ. Kakaki is obviously somewhere in Papa Baalu village.

GBADA
New Yam festival is around the corner. That ancient flute must be retrieved before then.

AJALA
And whoever retrieves that becomes an hero. I will arrive at a plan.

Ajala leaves Gbada's farm as Gbada sees him off.

...king because he didn't complete his initiation rites in a shrine at Ibu-Oso stream. My father and one other heard you. They will testify against you.

GUARD
But I was stating the obvious.

TADE
Good to hear that. Prepare to defend your self. Guys, let's get going. His colleague that will do night shift will soon be here.

Kids leave the scene.
