Chapter 7: Spirit Work

Na my first time to do this kind job. Before now, to pay debt, I dey help one estate friend "clean" haunted houses—e mean say I go sleep for house wey person die, just to show say nothing dey happen there. I no dey fear anything, ghost or spirit no dey worry me. As long as the money dey correct, I go sleep anywhere. After some time, agents begin know me.

E get one time dem send me go one uncompleted house for Sapele. People run say dem dey hear crying every midnight. I reach there, sleep from twelve reach five, nothing do me. The agent spray me cash, say my head strong. From then, na so word begin go round say I fit "chase spirit" for money.

Na so this mama and pikin hear about me from one agent. But wetin dem ask me no be to "clean" haunted house, but to "cut" love-tie wey spirit dey use hold person.

This one different. E no be say house dey hot, na person wey spirit dey hold. I reason am, talk for my mind, "Oga Long, your own don reach." But for pikin sake, I no fit turn back.
