Young Man(YM): What is it? (Looking angry)
2nd Tout: Why you dey frown now? Na so you suppose answer question?
1st Tout: (looks at the briefcase) Watin dey that briefcase?

1st Tout: Open am make we confirm am.
YM: I said there is nothing in it. Don't you get it?
2nd Tout: Who you dey shout for? (Slaps the young man) You wan die?
YM: (feeling blood coming out of his mouth, he touched it and gets really angry at the recent incident. Trys giving the 1st Tout a punch on his face which was been block by the Tout)
2nd Tout: So you wan show say you sabi fight. (Quickly grabs the young man hands holding it tightly at the back)
1st Tout: (Rushed three punches to the stomach of the young man) Tunde no leave am. Make we treat him f**k up first before we carry the briefcase. (Gave him a heavy punch on the YM face, brought out a dagger about digging it into his stomach)
Stranger: Hey, stop it
2nd Tout: (Throws the YM to the ground) Who you be? Who call you?
Stranger: Let the young man be.
2nd Tout: If we no leave am watin you go do.
Stranger: Nothing much. (Brought out a biro, I will use this on you)
(Touts laughs)
Tunde (2nd Tout): Badoo(1st Tout) he wan use Biro fight with us. (Rushes to the stranger and tries to punch him on his face, his punch was blocked immediately by the stranger who later swept him to the ground. Badoo seeing four men and students going to school coming towards the bus stop, quickly went to his partner and helped him gets up to his feet)
Badoo(1st Tout): Make we dey go
2nd Tout: Go where? Make we kill this stranger before we commot here!
Badoo: (Looks back) You dey mad? People don they come the bus stop. Make we dey go! (2nd Tout turned back, saw the people coming and the student staring at them)
Tunde (2nd Tout): If we see again, I go make sure say I kill you.
Stranger: Get out of here fools, lazy bones. (Turns to the young man who has been watching everything, stretches his hands to him and drags him up from the ground) Are you okay?
YM: Yes, thank you. (Dust himself and his briefcase)
Stranger: Why standing at these bus stop alone?
YM: This is the first time such a thing is happening to me. It has never happened before. I live around this area.
Stranger: oh I see.
YM: But thank you.
Stranger: You welcome. Brought out a plaster and quickly covered the Young's man wounds.
YM: There is no need for that. (Surprised at the stranger action) Do you carry the plaster around?
Stranger: No, sometimes.
YM: (Looking at the stranger suspiciously) Oh...
Stranger: (Removes the plaster from the wound) Let's sit over there (points to a closed shop across the road. Both walks towards the shop and sat on a bench close to the door of the shop) Why don't you sit and relax here a little to regain some strength before you leave.
YM: Thanks for the help (Still looking suspicious at the stranger)
Stranger: You are welcome. So Grave, how long have you been hiding?
YM: (Surprised) How do you know my name?
Stranger: Oh sorry, Daniel Grave.
Grave(YM): (Looking surprise) Who are you?
Stranger: Call me Unknown.
Grave: (Trys to reach up for his briefcase)
Unknown (Stranger): Looking for this? (Handling the briefcase to Grave) You are really a pretender. (Whistles, the two Tout who they fought with came from the back of the shop.)
Touts: Boss.
Grave: Oh I see. They work for you.
Unknown: Let's go straight to the point here. Few years back, you killed a family (showed a video of Grave and some men killing a man and his wife)
Grave: They are couples not family.
Unknown: Not really. You also set the house ablaze. Killing my little brother and leaving me in a poor state. You and your men took the people I love the most, you took my family away from me.
Grave: Why can't we take this to a better place for us to discuss better?
Unknown: One, you are popular, a lot of people knows you. I can't let you escape and Secondly, you have been poisoned. (Brought out the plaster) There is a virus on this plaster and it kills within minutes, I don't want you to die in someone else shop. (Showing a little bottle with bluish liquid) This is the antidote tell me what I need to know and I will release it to you.
Grave: Why then did you send your men to beat me up?
Unknown: I needed a cut from your flesh so I can proceed with my plans.
Badoo: Mr Grave the poison attacks the heart so speak quickly.
Grave: What do you really want?
Unknown: Give me the details of the other men and I will let you go.
Grave: (felt a sharp pain at his chest but still pretended) I don't know anything about the men. We only follow instructions.
Unknown: From who?
Grave: I can't say.
Unknown: No problem. You are an assassin so I don't need much from you as long as your briefcase is with us.
Grave: You won't get anything from it.
Unknown: Sure? I don't need anything from you. (Unknown looks at the video and noticed the dragon symbol and the letters on it, looks at Grave and smile) What is so important in this briefcase?
Grave: What do you mean?
Unknown: This is the same briefcase you carried when taking the lifes of my family.
Grave: You can be smart but you can't unlock it. Unknown: Whatever. (Throws the bottle to him) Guys let's go. (Badoo and Tunde followed there boss away)
(Grave quickly opened the bottle and drank the content in it)

After they have walked a long distance.. Tunde: Boss, I respect you but why you give that man the antidote you for just let the bastard die.
Unknown: There is no antidote for the poison. The liquid is meant for the poison to work faster but first he must fall asleep.
Badoo: Meaning he will die while sleeping?
Unknown (Boss): Yes. They killed my parent and non of them will go free.
Tunde: Yes boss.
Boss: He was my first target.
Tunde: Who is next?
Boss: We will find out soon with the help of the briefcase.

Josh: I hope your receptionist won't stare this time around.
Dan: That I don't know. But even if she does... you still will get used to it because she won't be the only one. Or are you scared of her looks?

To be sincere, is wife is really pissing me off now. Hw will she tell her sister that her husband is an agent? I can't trust anybody in my life.
