Interception

The Boss: Oh Karl I thought all this while you were my brother from another mother, so as you were convincing me to dump Emefa you had your own auxiliary motives and you were also banging her behind me, oh what a shame. So you even went far to tell her to push the pregnancy on me too?

Karl Simpson: My friend spare me that holy sermon, did you know how to preach or stay holy when you were sleeping with my 16year old twin daughters? If you thought I didn’t know then am sorry bro, I knew every move and style you did to them and infact I even have some of you and your arrogant son’s sextapes with me. Its a shame you and your son were both eating from the same pot, I must admit that you were good in bed but your son was a monster. My girls use to complain to me anytime your son paid their place a visit, honestly he is a real African man down there.

The Boss: Oh Karl that was very cruel of you, so you and your daughters planned all this for me and my son and we stupidly fell prey to you antics, am so hurt and have never been betrayed like that before.

Commissioner Barnor: Enough of the embarrassment you two monsters are heaping yourself with, if you closed your flap well this kind of embarrassment wouldn’t find its way to your doorsteps. If you will remember clearly, I told you when I first had an encounter with you that, no glory last forever on this earth and when my time comes am going to hit you like a crazy curricane. Yesterday was for you because you had those corrupt senior officers to shield you but unfortunately, today is mine and am going to make life very much unbearable for you. That boy Simon that you murdered was my wife’s nephew, the girl who dumped your son and got him beaten is my daughter who works with the Interpol, the law firm you are currently dealing with and planning for them to come to your aid, belongs to my wife. My friend, this time around I have beaten you to your own game behind your backyard and on this note I will read this boldly to you. You are under arrest Albert Selassie, you have the right to remain silent and an attorney, anything you say here will and can be used against you in the court of law.

Scorpion: (walks in talking) Boss where from all the cars parked on the compound whiles the gate is widely opened? (sees the armed police officers and tries to flee)

ASP Mawugbe: Try moving any further and I will personally buy you a wheelchair, arrest him and put him in the van.

Commissioner Barnor: ASP Mawugbe, see to it that this house is locked down and call in the Narcotic department to come and conduct an immediate investigation in this house. Some say Karma is a b***h but I say, Karma is a snitch.

The Boss: My son will work around the clock to get me bailed, I have some great lawyers who can secure my bail so am not bothered with this muscles you are flexing here.

Commissioner Barnor: Oh I forgot to add to the fact that, your son is also currently in our custody. You, don’t worry, a reunion can take place at the cell I have specifically provided for you guys at the station. Your nemesis has caught up with you today, Constable take them away from my sight and anyone who messes up with you on the way, you know what to do, sh00t to ki*ll.

Fast Forward:

Opana’s Bedroom:

4 : 20 am

Opana wakes up and checks the clock on the wall and he snaps, herh so the alarm on this stupid phone refused to ring erh. My house witches I swear this time I have outsmarted you people, am only 20minutes late for this mission but come what may I will still execute my plans. He quickly dresses up in his all black apparel, takes the alleged bottle containing the portion of poison then he sneaks out into the dark to accomplish his mission. About 20minutes later he gets to the very spot he intended to pour the poison and he looks around to see if no one was at the place to fetch early morning water, when he was convinced that the coast was clear he poured the whole content into the water and he gave a diabolic laughter. He covered the bottle and left the place immediately projecting figures in his head but shortly after he left the place he executed his evil plan, someone called him from behind.

Fred Yeboah: Helloooooooo, I throw salute papa ninja.

Opana: (tries to double his steps) What kind of gross disrespect is this? Now you youngmen of this village go about giving unapproved names to people and you think its funny erh?

Fred Yeboah: Papa ninja it will do you a lot of good if you stand there and listen to the nonsense I have to say before I raise an alarm for the entire village to hear of us or you want me to mention your name before you get to know that I know it’s you Opana the rough boy.

Opana: (turns quickly to calm matters down) Oh youngman, there is no need raising your voice. As you have been able to mention my trademark name then it means you know me very well, please calm down so we work things out as men. It’s only women who talk with their voices up, also where we are standing is not advisable since the villagers will start coming to this place to fetch water.

Fred Yeboah: Your dress looks great on you so I would love for everyone to see you in this lovely costume sir. (comes close and starts to search Opana’s pocket)

Opana: My brother it hasn’t got to this, you can’t be treating me like a class one child where you will be searching through my pocket like that.

Fred Yeboah: Shut up old man, do you think I can be a brother to a murderer like you? If you could remember, some time back you caught me with your daughter in an uncompleted building and you took measurement of me, later you took every valuable thing I had on me including my cigarette and chewing gum. The money on me that day was meant for my late uncles burial things, as if that was not enough you humilated me when I came to your shop with my family head and I became the topic of discussion during the funeral, goodness the ugly memories are coming back to me this very moment. Because of you the corpse was not given an underwear to wear.

Opana: (trying to feel remorseful) Son, two wrongs never makes a right, see erh my conscience fought me that night and I swear I searched for you everywhere in this village but no one knew where I could find you, I even thought you had relocated to the city my son. Forgive and forget because it was the work of the devil.

Fred Yeboah: Am Kwame Fred so stop addressing me as your son because you even insulted my late father that day, today your cup is full and I will also pay you back with your own coin because if I sneeze you will catch cold. Whatever you took from me that day, I will take three times of it right here and now, if you want me to seal my mouth.

Opana: I don’t remember the exact amount I took from you that day but please let’s get to my house so that we can transact business well enough.

Fred Yeboah: If am going to move away from here, you must pay my moving fee and don’t expect anything less than two thousand Ghana cedis.

Opana: Aaaaaba, how much do you villagers buy my coffin? Where do you expect me to get this outrageous amount from? Please say something reasonable so that we do business.

Fred Yeboah: You think you are in the position to bargain or make demands huh? Wait till I raise an alarm and inform the villagers of the evil you have just executed.

Opana: Mr Yeboah, please I am begging you with God and the mother of Jesus who will put to birth yesterday, Fred I swear with my two front teeth that am ready to comply with anything you come up with.

Fred Yeboah: Okay if you want to negotiate I have heard you but first I will take a picture of you now, when you redeem yourself then I will delete it from my phone but first I am taking my moving fee, then we go to your house to resolve it.

Opana: I have heard you, give me your phone number so I transfer your moving fee to you so that we move away from here. (Kwame Fred mentions his number and Opana sends him two thousand cedis)

Fred Yeboah: (confirms truly if the money has been credited to his account) Oh yes the money is in and I can see clearly that you mean business. Let’s get going before someone sees you because for me I will deny you like how Peter did to Jesus if someone catches you. (someone screams from behind as they move forward a bit)

Atongo: So you think say you fit to relegate us to the bench then go for another person huh?

Opana: (turns to see Atongo) You this ugly face again? Haven’t I warned you to stay clear from me, what do you want from me?

Skido: We want our share of the cake, you can’t wet our appetite and give the food to someone else to consume. You either pay us to walk away from here or we will raise an alarm for the entire village to hear of us.

Opana: See I have sold kenkey at night before so I fear not the lantern, you think this cheap blackmail will let me give you a pesewa or what? My friend go and find something to do with yourself you low lives.

Atongo: Eeeeeiiiiii so now you get mouth dey talk back at us huh? If not for the fear of God like I for strangle your neck over here.

Fred Yeboah: Guys this is the wrong time to do this, whatever issue you have I believe you can solve it later and amicably. This place is not conducive for this kind of argument.

Atongo: Oh shut up there, he take the job we go do come give you and you dey here dey come preach to us. If you no shut your mouth for there, I go take the something I dey hold to wack your foolish face give you.

Skido: (looks at Kwame Fred carefully before talking) Oh so after you came to us to beat this guy, you have today passed behind us to join forces with him. Human beings can never be trusted on this earth.

Fred Yeboah: Oh so it’s you guys who attacked me the other time? You see we are in a small world.

Atongo: You make lucky say we nor ki*ll you that day sef.

Fred Yeboah: ki*ll me? What am I even doing here, let me get out of this place because I have no business here.

Opana: My brother oh are you leaving me here? I thought we were going to my house to finalise on things?

Fred Yeboah: Thunder fire you over there you wicked old man, there was never anything like we because I don’t know how you came about with your evil intentions and me coming closer to you was to take back my money that you selfishly took from me some time ago, what I got today is enough for me so I leave you in the able hands of your partners in crime. (walks away)

Skido: See erh, we have been doing this bad business for long but we don’t ki*ll, we can’t sit behind and watch you to ki*ll innocent people just to enrich your greedy pocket. We find you guilty and hereby wish to march you to the palace of the chief for the final judgement. Atongo grab him and let’s take him to Nana and his council of elders.

Atongo: With pleasure I go hold him like the way the policeman held me last time.

Opana: Guys doing this won’t help any of us, let’s talk about this like matured men. How much will you take so that we close this chapter at once.

Skido: We won’t sit and watch you wipe the entire village away with your greed, if I decide to dance to you tune and take your money and keep quite, how will I take the news of the death of my wife and child who drink from this river. You are a wicked man and God will punish you severely.

Skido: (sees a woman coming their way with a bucket to fetch water) Madam this evil man here has poisoned the water so run home and tell others not to come here and fetch water until professionals come to check the water and confirm it’s safe to drink.

Woman: (screams as she runs home) Abomination ooooo, our river has been poisoned by the coffin maker oooo. No one should go and fetch water from the river this morning if you love your life and that of you family.
