Pretty Lady: Do you go about in town carrying people’s bag? If you want to render services to people free of charge I will advice you go to Makola, Kaneshie or Agbogbloshie market to help people there and not here with me.
 
Michael Ansah: Hey a slap from an angel like you will only book a first class ticket for me to heaven straight away. You please slap me and let me help you to convey your things to where you are going and I will plead with you not to rob me of my blessings this evening.
 
Pretty Lady: (gives a little smile and speaks in a calm tone) Hey you dont easily give up erh? Am sorry if I was rude to you earlier on but sometimes you have to show some arrogance to men because you are always disturbing we the women.
 
Michael Ansah: Hahahahah my dear don’t blame us wai, if you get the chance to meet God then you can ask God why He created you extra beautiful, see without you beautiful women the world would have been a very boring place to be and for God I always take my time to appreciate him for taking time to create women like you and my mum. No wonder you women are the last amongst the things God created.
 
Pretty Lady: Eeeeiiii you have got vibes paaaa oooo Mr man, how long did it take you to prepare this sugar coated words for me or you have done your rehearsal to pour it on any nice lady you come across?
 
Michael Ansah: Oh see you, I have come to realise that you women don’t like the truth when you are been told the truth nowadays. Well am Michael Ansah but my friends call me Kwaku Mike “the smooth boy” and you are?
 
Pretty Lady: Am Henrietta Barnor and it was nice talking to you, please let me start going before my man comes to meet you here. He’s the jealous type of man so I don’t like to give him the cause of been angry or jealous.
 
Michael Ansah: Can you please give me your numerical tag of your telecommunication device or betterstill your phone number.
 
Pretty Lady: Hahahaha herh evening professor am flabbergasted with your English-speaking prowess, well as I said my boyfriend is a very jealous person so I don’t give out my numbers to people who will call me and bring problems between I and him, if it’s destined for us to meet again in life, destiny will bring us back again so don’t….. (someone drives in with a black SUV and gets down shouting at the pretty lady)
 
Unknown Person: So Herty you kept me waiting all this while and you are here talking with this low life personality, are you mad or what is wrong with you? Now get in,side the car before I beat the hell out of you.
 
Michael Ansah: Hey watch your mouth and words Mr man, the fact that you are driving that car doesn’t make you a superhuman being or a superior to anyone.
 
Unknown Person: So if I don’t watch my mouth or words what will you do? Will you fight me or what can you do? If you don’t disappear right this moment I will make my boys disorg-nise your stupid face right this moment, you should be thankful to God that I didn’t pounce on you the moment I go down from my car.
 
Pretty Lady: Mr Ansah Michael please don’t say anything again to trigger the anger in my man, I know what he is capable of doing and I wouldn’t like any controversy to take place here just because of me. Baby please let’s go and am very sorry for keeping you waiting.
 
Unknown Person: Count today your lucky day if not like I would have pealed off your skin from your body you fool.
 
Kwaku Mike kept his composure because he didn’t want to make the pretty lady he just met go into a serious problem with her man and secondly he was not that strong to engage himself in a fight because of the surgery he undertook the previous day. The guy pushed the pretty lady into the front seat of the SUV and drove away by blowing dust into the air with his car tyres. Kwaku Mike looked at the car until it disappeared from his sight, he shock his head and decided to continue with his stroll as he dusted his dress which was covered with dust from the car tyres. After taking some few steps he remembered that he left his bag in the bush where the incident took place the other day so he decided to go and retrieve his bag and the sophisticated phone that he left behind. He tried his best to remember the exact s₱0t that the incident took place and after walking for about 40minutes he came across the exact s₱0t the guy was shot that faithful night and looking at left and right he entered the bush and started searching for his bag and phone. After searching through the bush for sometime he stumbled on his bag and immediately he bent down to check if the money that he placed in the bag was still in it and happily for him the money was very safe in the bag, all of a sudden the strangling started and he kept mute as he looked around to see if he was safe or if he was the only person around the place. In no time he heard low toned voices and footsteps coming his way and this got him scared because if the people were the bad guys that means his life will be taken away from him that very moment. He hid behind a big tree so that he will be out of sight from the people coming his way.
 
Ginola: Stubborn I want you to check that place and see if there is any clue being it wallet, id card, credit card, passport or even mobile phone that the stupid spy left behind, we can use it to track him down. Physical you too search that side and please don’t leave any stone unturned, our team has to beat that of Scorpion’s team so that we get the prize at stake. Trouble please go back to the car and be on standby with the car engine on so that incase the police chances on us here we can easily escape.
 
Trouble: Okay General, I am under your command so don’t worry koraa.
 
Physical: Man Gino make you nor worry your body, we go comb anywhere for this bush and town in,side to get that idiot for boss. Make you relax your body and mind koraa, anyone who go come do busy body for this matter top go go down 6feet, I kill person keep and it go sweet me if I get that fool.
 
 
Michael Ansah: (starts to whisper a prayer to God) My father my God, please if I said or did anything wrong on this earth I humbly pray you forgive me and if possible you make this death or apprehension pass me by. I only came to get my things that I left behind from this place so God please protect and deliver me from the hands of the evil one, father am too young to die an untimely death with the caption “Gone to Soon” or “What a Shock”, you delivered Daniel from the lions dean, you brought Jonah out from the belly of the big wheal, Abednigo and his friends also you gave them fireproof dresses to wear so that they won’t get burnt and you even joined them in,side the fire, God please this is the time for you to do for me what you did for those people in the bible. I know you just saved me last night but like Oliver Twist I will always ask for more so please God let a miracle take place for my life to be saved from the hands of this bad people. Amen
 
Quincy’s Room:
 
Maabena Boaduwaa: Ah baby I so enjoyed the powerful styles you gave me and I am even exhausted.
 
Quincy: Woooow what a special birthday treat, you were on fire my cupcake. See how you were twisting your wa-ist and you kept pushing for more, I must say if you continue demanding for more like this I must go and hire the services of a lawyer to help me win my case with you ooo. Whaaaat!!! You have really made my day worth celebrating and I wish tomorrow is even my birthday again.
 
Maabena Boaduwaa: Oh see you greedy man, you are asking for more even though you have had enough. Now that your friend Kwaku Mike has moved in, you will get it once in a blue moon so get that information to Mr Quincy in between your legs.
 
Quincy: Eeeeiiii you just remembered me of him (Kwaku Mike), I have to call him and find out where he is because it is over 2hours as he left this place. I am hoping he is safe anywhere he finds himself now, let me call him and find out where he is currently. Please get me my phone……….
 
___
 
 
Kwaku Mike’s phone started vibrating in his pocket and immediately he started to m-ssage the phone in,side his pocket for the line to cut because if he brought the phone out of his pocket the phone light might own him out because the bush was a dark place and the slightest light that pops up will brighten the wh0le place. Secondly he was grateful to God for putting the phone on silent mood after talking with Julia and that alone was a positive sign that God was not going to forsake him in the journey of life.
 
Physical: Man Gino I dey hear some sound like something they vibrate for around where I dey stand.
 
Ginola: Then such much further, maybe that fool’s mobile phone fell off last night when we were chasing after him but am surprise he was able to escape the shot Stubborn fired at him.
 
Stubborn: General it beats my mind if it comes to my mind, all my life nobody lives to tell his or her story the following day if I fire my gun at him (he brings his pistol which has a silencer on it and fired to the direction Kwaku Mike was hiding)
 
Ginola: (in a low tone) Hey are you mad? Who instructed you to fire, don’t you know if the silencer was not at the edge of the pistol like it will call the attention of people around or passing by. Until I order you to fire at something or someone you have to stand down or else you will land yourself in serious trouble, do I make myself clear.
 
Stubborn: It’s very clear General, am sorry for acting with great anger
 
Trouble: (runs from the car with his pistol in his hand) Gino I heard a gunshot when I was in the car, is everything alright back here?
 
Ginola: Everything is very fine my guy, please go back to the car. We will join you very soon in the car for us to move.
 
 
Michael Ansah: (whispering to himself) Ah so the one who fired the shot did it for doing sake so if I jumped out for them to get me like it will be for no positive reason. Sometimes difficult moments calls for desperate measures.
 
Quincy’s End:
 
Maabena Boaduwaa: Why is he not answering your calls?
 
Quincy: Hmmmm it is even surprising me ooo, this is unusual of him after I called him like three times, he has not also called back to find out why I was calling him even, let me try for the last time and see if he will answer my call.
 
Maabena Boaduwaa: I don’t think that will be necessary my love, calling him again might be the worse option ever for you to do this evening. I believe he is very safe anywhere he is and very soon he will be back here, let me take a quick shower so that I rush home. I need to catch some sleep because I am on the morning shift tomorrow and I don’t want to get into any form of trouble with that controversial matron.
 
Quincy: Okay the let me join you in the bathroom so we shower together.
 
Maabena Boaduwaa: Hell no Mr man, looking at how that man is nodding its head in between your legs you might do something nasty in there which I can’t resist and the truth is that the place is hurting and am feeling some burning s-nsation down there.
 
Quincy: Hahahaha who say man no dey, you go talk true for there.
 
Maabena Boaduwaa: Oh leave me alone, you if by next year you don’t come and buy it by marrying me I will give some suitors the opportunity to take me away.
 
Quincy: Baby don’t make any typing mistake or printing error for your house oooo, we were and are made for each other. You are my Eve and am you Adam, you are missing rib and my bone of bone so don’t listen to any pressure they mount on you to get married, God’s time has remained the best always my sweetheart.
 
Maabena Boaduwaa: You remain there and be preaching me like a pastor by the roadside without a church, someone will come and get me for me to send you an invitation card soon.
 
Quincy: Stop that before I kill you and myself out of jealousy, am not ready to share you with any other guy, I can’t imagine you giving my favourite styles to some other guy on this planet so please restrain patience for the sake of love.
 
Maabena Boaduwaa: (walking to the bathroom) I have said my own Mr lover boy, a word should be enough for the wise and let the person with ears hear what the spirit is saying to the congregation.
 
Back in the Bush:
 
Stubborn: (standing next to the tree he fired at and behind is Kwaku Mike) General I don’t think there is anything here for us to see in this dark ooo.
 
Physical: Man Gino to me I go say make we come here during the day so we go come search this place very well. With that one if any clue dey here we go see then take track that mumu who wan give we sleepless night for this world in,side.
 
Ginola: I think you guys are very right because Rome was not built in a day, we will come back in some days time during the day to do a thorough check over here. Guys let us go we will get that idiot even if that is the last thing I will do with the blood left in me. (he moves with his boys from the bush to the car)
 
Kwaku Mike gives a breathe of relief as the bad guys moved away from where he was hiding, all of a sudden he hears a hissing sound infront of him and he tries to get his phone from his pocket to check where the sound was coming from but before he brings the phone out something passes in between his legs and when it touched his skin he felt coldness of the thing that passed on his toe, he quickly brought his phone out and put it on immediately because it was off. When finally the phone was on he switched on the torch light to where the hissing sound was coming from, to his utmost surprise it was a very big black cobra staring at him with it’s head moving from left to right. Kwaku Mike was now left in a dilemma because if he made a wrong move there were two things involved, either his is going to bitten by the snake or his sound will call for the attention of the bad guys. His phone starts to vibrate and as he checked it was Julia’s number, he ignores the call so that he could concentrate on how to escape from the big cobra before him.
 
Quincy’s End:
 
Maabena Boaduwaa: Am done Mr man please see me off and help me get a taxi. You will see me again by the end of the month.
 
Michael Ansah: Did you say end of the month? My dear do you want me to die of lonliness? Please if it is a joke then am not a fan of that dry joke.
 
Maabena Boaduwaa: Hahahaha someone is scared over here, well you have to bribe me so that I can have a rethink on the matter.
 
Quincy: Been careful and taking cover during battles doesn’t make you a coward oooo my dear, you want me to come and marry you and yet you are hiding yourself from me huh, you let’s go to the roadside for me to help you pick a taxi to the house since it is getting late.
 
Maabena Boaduwaa: Okay boss but please try and call Mike again and see if you will get him this time because his absence here now is getting out of hand.
 
Back at the Hospital:
 
Doctor: Hey nurse get me the matron right this moment, tell her am in my office and she should stop anything she is doing and get to my office ASAP.
 
Nurse: Okay doc I will convey your message to her after I finish with my food.
 
Doctor: Herh do you even love your job at all? If I don’t see the matron in my office in the next 3minutes consider yourself fired from this hospital. Who even employed you into this reputable health facility in the first place, you are part of the bad nuts that drags the name of this hospital into the mud.
 
Nurse: Doc please take it easy on me, I have been working since morning and I haven’t eaten anything since morning, standing infront of you right now I feel my legs wobbling under the scrubs am wearing.
 
Doctor: Why are you here if you were on the morning shift? Are you aware it is against the laws of the medical board for you to work more than 8hours in one hospital or health facility? This is what you people do that out of fatigue you administer wrong medication to the patients that are entrusted into your care or possibly you give wrong injections to people. Now get out of my sight and get me the matron, the two of you have an explanation to give me so come with her to my office ASAP. (walks away angrily)
 
Nurse: (soliloquy to herself as she walks to get the matron) What wrong did I do that this man is scre-ming on me like that, if someone has pulled the anger trigger in you please don’t channel your palava to me oooo because I haven’t failed to render my services at the hospital anytime am on duty. Matron please the senior doctor said you should come with me to his office right this moment.
 
Matron: (in a low tone) What is the problem nurse? If the doctor sends for me like that I don’t like it at all, he will be throwing harsh words in the air to all of us, now tell him I am about to eat and will be at his office the moment am done.
 
Nurse: Matron please if you wait any longer you will endanger my life with the job am doing in this hospital and I don’t know the plans you have to face the doctor but please becareful with your words when we get to the doctor’s office.
 
Matron: Is that one an advice or a request or perhaps an order? Which ever way I have heard you so let’s get going.
 
Nurse: Okay matron, I pray what am thinking doesn’t come to pass.
 
Matron: My friend put yourself in order and stop behaving like a chicken that just escaped death from the hands of its owner.
 
Doctor: Ah there you are matron, where is the list I asked you to compile for me?
 
Matron: Mmm…. Mmmm….. Mmmm…… I…. I….. I asked Nurse Boaduwaa to get me all the names of the nurses she came to the night shift with but it seems she didn’t do it.
 
Doctor: Matron are you serious at all? Sometimes I wonder if you truly love this job at all, you behave in a way that I can’t find or get words to explain it with. Listen if any action is taken against this hospital I can assure you that no nurse or surgeon here can ever land him/herself a job in any health facility in Ghana or anywhere else, now leave my sight and get me the list in the next 15minutes.
 
Matron: Okay doctor………
 
Now that Maabena Boaduwaa’s name has been mentioned by the matron will she spill the beans or she will keep everything she heard a secret?
 
What will be the fate of Kwaku Mike in the bush?
 
Will he come out of the bush alive or without a snake bite?
 
Time remains the best judge!!!!
