Chapter 5: Blackmail for Blood

We dey map strategy, dey check address, dey find weak point. Na that moment, phone vibrate. The ringtone sharp, loud for room. Musa pick.

Na his ex-girlfriend. She no waste time: "Musa, I know say you be one of the people wey kill Mr. Sani."

Her voice dey cold, no pity. Lagos girls dey wise, she sabi how to press person mind. Me and Musa shock. My heart miss one beat. This girl dey look us through wall?

We dey look each other. My mind dey race. For Lagos, once person dey suspect you, wahala fit enter police matter sharp.

Him voice dey shake, but he still try form strong. For inside, I dey see say fear dey grow. Musa dey sweat, phone dey tremble for his hand.

The silence wey follow na thunder. As audio dey play, room cold. My mind dey beat like talking drum.

The evidence loud. For Lagos, once voice leak, police fit land any time. I dey try reason who fit betray us. My stomach dey turn.

Na so wahala dey start for this city. As she dey talk, I dey see my life dey flash for my eye. Musa dey shake, I dey hold my breath. Next move go decide everything.

She hiss, "Musa, I sabi say na you and your friend finish Mr. Sani. If you no settle me, wahala go burst."
