Shadows From Behind - Episode 3

As soon as she got home, she called Lola and narrated the outcome of her meeting with Lekan to her.
“Enh, is he mad?” Lola shouted over the phone after hearing the outcome
“What are we going to do now?”
“I also don’t know, am as confused as you are, you know what, let me call you back” Lola said and hanged up.
Later in the evening, at around 6:12pm Bola’s phone rang, she looked at it and her heart lightened as she saw who the caller was, it was Lola,
“Hello friend”
“Hello Bola, how far?”
“Am just here o”
“OK, what of Chief?”
“Chief? He has traveled to Abuja” Bola said
“Alright, I will be in your house in a short while”
“Alright but don’t be long o”
“No problem” Lola confirmed and hanged up.
Not too long after, Lola drove into Chief Olapoju’s compound, she was a dark complexioned and very tall woman, and she was expensively dressed and looked flashy.
“Welcome friend” Bola greeted Lola as she walked in.
“Thank you” Lola said as she made herself comfortable
“So, have you come up with anything?” She asked curiously
“Nothing, my mind is totally out of control right now”
“But when did that idiot get out of jail?”
“I don’t know, I was very surprised to see him her yesterday.” Bola confessed
“And he is so bold to come into Chief’s housed after all that has happened to him in the past, what if he met Chief at home? What can we do now, Chief must not here about this o if not you are done for”
“Am not even scared of chief’s reaction but how will Korede take the news”
“Korede? Are you planning on telling him?” Lola asked in surprise
“Do I have a choice? You know he and chief are currently in a rift, he hasn’t even returned home since the last time he left the house after a serious argument with chief. He has even wished openly that chief wasn’t his father.”
“….ah, I don’t pity you, is that why you want to confess to him?”
“What else do you want me to do then?” Bola asked
“Something came into my mind right now” Lola said
“What is that” Bola curiously asked sitting up right and moving closely to Lola
“I think we should just hire someone to get rid of him for us quickly before he starts making noise around or what do you think?” Lola quietly suggested
“Ah! You mean to kill him? Ah, that’s too much, what if we are caught?”
“Did I say we were going to do it ourselves? I know some pro-boys that are into this, we would just hire them, and since money is not our problem, we would just pay them off and everyone continues to live their normal lives while Lekan goes to heaven to look for a son there” Lola furthered explained.
The idea didn’t convince Bola that much, she wasn’t sure if that would solve the issue on ground but it was the only available solution for the main time so she adhered to her bosom friend’s advice.
