LAME RED: SEASON TWO: EPISODE TWELVE: CONNECTING: CHAPTER FIVE: TARGET

Simi is sleeping on the couch in the sitting room when she hears a loud knock on the door, hoping is nothing but a dream, she continues sleeping until the knock drives her out of the couch
"Okay! That was real and loud" she yawns widely and moves towards the door, she opens it
"Surprise!" Lola, Deji's sister is standing outside the apartment with her son
 "Oh my God! Lola! This is more than a surprise" they hug themselves "Well, come inside" they enter and sit down
 "Wow look at him all grown up"
 Simi sits with the boy
"What's your name dear?"
 "Jaiye" he said shyly
"Don't mind him, he is a great troublemaker and a talkative, he leaves a lasting first impression" Lola said.
"So you are back for the holidays?"
"Oh yes, I was hoping I will find Deji, didn't want to go to that club of his with Jaiye, maybe we could sneak out one day to the place" she winks at her
"I don't think this will allow me"
Simi points at her stomach
"Awkward for me to sit in a club this days or anywhere"
"Well soon it will be all over, with the size, that baby can come at any time" they both laugh


 He is going through the files in his office and busy on his laptop when someone knocks on the door, he raises his head as the young man comes in
"Yes, do I know you?"
He looks at the man in surprise
"Dr Will, you've been served"
He tossed the file to him and leaves the office, Henry opens the files reads it and slams his fist on his desk
 "Who does she think she is? She might have the best lawyer backing her up, but she is making a big mistake, at the detriment of this hospital, bloody hell!"


 Tamuno picks up her phone
 "Hello"
"I've served him"
Mandy said from the other end, she sighs with relief
 "Thank you so much, I knew I could turn to you, you are like a miracle bone marrow, when there are no red blood cells left"
"Really? You seriously have to qualify me with that? Well your pay just went up, I charge by the minute, including this phone call"
Tamuno laughed subtly and smiled
"I only mean I am grateful and eternally in your debt"


 Ego is driving back home after a busy work day in the office, it is already dark and the road is clear, suddenly she sees a car headlight afar, it keeps getting brighter and brighter, almost like a car is trying to run into her
 "When did this road become a one way road?"
She said to herself, her heart starts beating fast, the headlight still keeps coming close, burning brightly into her eyes, she keeps trying to avoid it but it keeps up on her trail, the car keeps coming closer, almost bumping into her before it swerves of the road, makes a sharp turn and skids past her.
 She stops her car abruptly panting, breathing loudly and fast, her phone beeps, she picks it up and opens the message which reads 'Next time, we won't turn' she tossed the phone on the passengers sit, looks around, almost scared to death before starting the car and speeding off immediately. 


 We always try to play the hero, who comes in and saves the day, but we seem to forget that heroes bear a heavy burden. Our best intentions of helping an individual will always be thawed by the villains and except we are ready to persevere and fight to the end, we end up being the one that needs saving. To be continued
