It has been five years since Ekene’s son
(Uchenna who he named after his late dad) was given birth to and not even for once did Franklin failed to give Ekene the monthly allowance he promised him.
Ekene has been happy lately because he is very sure that he will be settled soon since he has completed his eight years of learning trade.
One evening, Ekene was in his room when their maid came to call him telling him that his master wants to see him.
Ekene quickly got up from his bed to the sitting room where his master is. Ekene greeted Peter and Kate but Kate was the one that told him to sit which he did
Peter: *clears throat* Ekene
Ekene: Sir!
Peter: I believe you know why I sent for you? Ekene: No sir
Peter: Since you don’t know let me tell you
why.
Ekene you are suppose to learn trade with me for eight years right?
Ekene: Yes sir
Peter: And now you have learned the trade for eight years which means am now suppose to settle you but that won’t be happening.
Ekene: Why sir? Have I done anything wrong to you for the past eight years?
Peter: No you haven’t done that to me but what you did is far worst
Kate: What did he do that is far worst?
Peter: This boy you see here that we all believe is a saint is nothing but a liar and a thief who has been stealing from me
Ekene: Sir I have never stole from you before
Peter: Will you shut up your mouth there or did I even asked you to talk?
Kate: Why are you accusing this boy wrongly or is any of your money missing?
Peter: *trying to avoid answering his wife
question* Kate if you think am accusing him
wrongly then ask him if he doesn’t have a baby mama and also ask him if he didn’t steal N70,000 from me to pay for his baby mama’s hospital bills.
Kate: What do you mean by Ekene having a baby mama?
Peter: This Ekene you see here impregnated a girl five years ago under our very nose without us knowing
Kate: *turning to face Ekene* Is it true that you have a baby mama?
Ekene: Yes ma but I didn’t steal any money
from my master
Kate: I believe Ekene because I have tested him
countless times to see if he will steal from me but not once did he steal
Peter: If am lying then he should tell me where he got all the money he has been using to take care of his son from
Kate: Ekene please tell us where you got the money from because I know you didn’t steal it

Episode 6
Ekene got to Ifeoma’s house and explained everything to her but she only ended up blaming herself saying that if she had known this will happen, she would have aborted Uchenna but
Ekene told her not to blame herself because his son’s life worth more than the money his master will settle him with.
Ifeoma suggested that Ekene should go and meet
Franklin since he is the person who has been helping them which also mean he is the only person that can make Peter settle him.
Ekene thought about it and agreed to go to Franklin’s shop the next day.
The next day Ekene woke up early and prepared to meet with Franklin.
Ekene got to Franklin’s shop but he was told by his sales girl that he is yet to come to the shop.
Ekene decided to wait for him instead of him going back home.
Ekene has been waiting for Franklin for the past three hours but Franklin hasn’t arrived yet so Ekene decided to go home that day and return the next but when he was about standing up, Franklin entered into the shop and he was very happy to see him.
Franklin told Ekene to sit before asking him why he had come to see him that early. Ekene explained everything to him and he promised Ekene that Peter is going to settle him whether he likes it or not.
Later that day, Franklin went to pay Peter a
surprised visit. When he got to Peter’s house, he met his absence but he met Kate who told him that Peter will be back very soon and Franklin decided to wait since he was not in s hurry to leave.
Peter came home thirty minutes later and was very surprise to see his master in his house.
Peter: Good evening sir!
Franklin: Evening Peter
Peter: Sir this one that you came to visit me this late, hope am save?
Franklin: You are but I came here to discuss something with you
Peter: What could that be important that can’t wait till tomorrow?
Franklin: Sit down first before I tell you.
Peter: Okay let me take my seat
Franklin: Your boy Ekene came to me earlier
today telling me that you had refused to settle him and why is that?
Peter: Sir you see that boy has a baby and he has also been stealing from me to take care of the baby. If that was not enough, he even lied with your name
Franklin: How sure are you that he Lied with my name?
Peter: I know he lied with it because there is no way you could have given him money to pay for his baby’s mama hospital bill
Franklin: You see that’s where you are wrong because I was the one that gave him the money and for the past five years, I have been the one taking care of the baby.
Peter: Sir are you trying to tell me that you knew about Ekene’s baby mama and you didn’t tell me
Franklin: Peter the baby mama is not what we are discussing here. You accused Ekene of stealing that’s why you didn’t want to settle him but since you now know that he didn’t steal from you, I will advice you to do the right thing by settling him
Peter: Even if he didn’t steal from me I still
won’t settle him for having a baby mama
Franklin: Oh! I now see you don’t want to settle that boy but I will make you settle him directly or indirectly
Peter: What do you mean?
Franklin: Don’t worry because you will soon find out
Franklin left Peter’s house leaving Peter to
wonder what he meant with “Don’t worry you will soon find out”.
Thirty minutes later, a knock was heard and Peter went to open it only for him to see Franklin with some uniform men
Franklin: Officers! Officers! Officers! This is the person I just told you stole my money when serving with me fifteen years ago so arrest him.
The officers arrested Peter and took him to the police station.
