Must Read: The Rich Kids Of Lagos (16+)… Part 25

Peter woke up to his ringing phone. It was an irate Eno on the other end.
‘You bastard! How dare you imprison my grandmother?’ yelled Eno
‘You thief. How dare you take something that does not belong to you?’ Responded Peter, coldly
The line suddenly went quiet. She was surprised he did not mince words
‘Look if you have nothing to say, I need to go back to resting. Your grandmother will rot in jail’ threatened Peter
‘Peter, please, she’s an old woman. She should not be dragged into this’ appealed Eno
‘Then meet me at the station with the briefcase and money’ ordered Peter
‘Okay’ said Eno in a small voice
When they met, Peter took Eno back to his hotel room to interrogate her. He didn’t want the officers to know the specific details about the currency in the briefcase. He was worried that he would have to provide more details than he had already done before. This matter still needed to be kept under wraps because he could easily lose his job from it.
‘I’m sorry Peter, it was the devil’ said Eno
‘How much did you meet there and how much have you spent?’ Peter was not interested in the devil or what he had done. He needed to get out of here.
‘$7,500. I have taken only $1,100’ said Eno
‘You dare call $1100 only? Especially when it is not yours? asked Peter. He was irate. ‘Don’t you know this is the Boss’ money? How am I to explain this to the Boss or Davis for that matter?
‘Ha. I didn’t know. I just saw the box in your house and took it’ said Eno
‘And you took it? Confess, this is what you had planned all along. This is why you seduced me!’ accused Peter
‘No, I swear! I’m sorry, please, release my grandma. Please Peter. Everyone in the village now knows she went to the station because of me. The shame will never leave our family’ said a contrite Eno
‘Tough. Let’s go’ Peter didn’t feel sorry for her at all.
At the station, Peter asked the DPO to let the old lady go. She had been well taken care of. Peter took his time to explain the enormity of what her grandchild had done and the old woman was also very apologetic. She thanked Peter for not pressing charges.
As Peter left for the airport, he sent a text to Tessy.

Aduke was excited as they got on the Private Jet. It was nice to have a companion this time around; the last time had been boring. She noticed that it was the same hostess, Svetlana, who served on the flight. Aduke was irritated at the way she was all over D.G. because didn’t serve her in the same manner. She was certain it was because the lady and her red lipstick had the hots for D.G. This put Aduke in a mood and she kept quiet as she sulked.
‘What’s wrong Addy? Asked D.G
’Nothing’ responded Addy
’Are you sad because you are leaving America? We can come here again’ he said
’No, I’m not sad to leave’. She brightened up at the realisation that he had offered again. It meant he saw her as a part of his future
She was fine again until Svetlana came to whisper a message from the pilot into his ears. Did she have to whisper? She suspected Svetlana was doing this on purpose, probably to remind her that she had known D.G first.
Well, decided Addy, I would show you.
‘D.G, let go and lie down for a bit’ said Aduke in a soft voice
Danladi looked at her strangely and paused for a moment. She was unsure that he would agree but at the last minute he did.
‘Ok, let’s go in’ he said, with a smile paying around his lips
Addy got in and sat on the bed while DG watched her strangely.
‘Is this how to lie down Aduke? Do you want to tell me what’s going on, wild bird? Calling her his pet name for her
‘Is it not that your hostess?’ said Aduke petulantly
’Svetlana? What did she do? Gabbo seemed surprised
’She’s all over you like a rash. I think she likes you. Do you guys have a past?’ said Aduke in a rush
Danladi threw his head back and laughed
‘Is someone jealous?’ he teased
‘It is not funny’ murmured Addy
‘You can’t be jealous in this tiny space, so many feet off the ground’ advised Gabbo
‘Are you trying to tell me something?’ asked Addy
’Nope. Just that if you are jealous, then you really should not be on this craft…’ he said, omniously
‘Why?’ asked Aduke as she shifted on the bed
‘…Or on that bed’ continued Alhaji
‘… You should also not use the lavatory’ he said with a twinkle in his eyes
Aduke’s impatience shone through ’Tell me why dammit!’
‘Because Svet and I have done it all over this craft. We even did it in the cockpit once’ he said
‘Come to think of it, I did it with the hostess on the old craft too. In fact, the three of us have been here together. That was on a trip to Ukraine. It was an absolutely unforgettable fuckfest. Get over yourself, Aduke. All I do on my planes is to Fork the hostesses because I am not busy enough’ finished Gabbo
Immediately she heard the last sentence, she knew he was being sarcastic and heaved a quick sigh of relief before turning on him.
‘All you had to do was say you have got it wrong, Aduke. That’s all’ she pretended to fume, secretly happy
‘I just wanted to help you play out your imagination. Did you enjoy it?’ asked Gabbo
‘No. it was not needed.’ Responded Addy
‘Ok Aduke. I have never had anything to do with Svet and I won’t because she’s not my specification. It would also be awkward because she came highly recommended and I would not like to see her go.’
‘Okay. I’m sorry’ said Aduke
‘It’s okay. Can I go back out? I would really like to finish reading that article’ said Gabbo
‘I will join you outside shortly’ responded Addy.
As soon as he went out, she unzipped her jeans trousers and stepped out of the cabin. She was in luck because Svetlana was walking her way.
Aduke looked into Svetlana’s eyes and slowly zipped up her trousers and at the same time, she licked her lips. She saw the look that registered in Svetlana’s eyes and knew that her message had been passed across succinctly.
Aduke then settled down to enjoy her trip. She woke up to DG’s tap that she should fasten her seatbelt to get ready for touchdown.
They were delayed from landing because another Jet was being cleared for landing. Danladi asked the pilot to confirm whose craft it was and was very excited when he realised it was one of his friend’s craft. He sent a message across asking his friend to wait in the airport till he landed.
Aduke teased him and said ‘Interesting Alhaji Danladi Gabbo, so this is how the rich boys play eh?’
He smiled at her and said. ‘Yes. We work hard, we deserve it.’
Upon touch down, Aduke got to the arrival hall and promptly stood aside as she turned on her phone. In usual fashion, MTN delivered all the text messages that had been sent to her while she had been away
As the texts came in, Aduke knew she was in big trouble.
