CHAPTER 1

NO STRINGS ATTACHED

At De' Copa's

A young man in his mid twenties is seen in front of a bar counter, obviously drunk and mumbling some words to himself. His Attire looks fancy, he's on a blue flowery patterned shirt over black slacks and matching black oxford's on his feet.

UDO's POV:

"Sorry sir we just rounded up, the contract was given to someone else. Would you like to take up the head role for the Middle Class contract?"

" I regret ever having you as a Son "

" Udo I don't think I can go on with this charade besides i just found another..."

" Time is of the essence
I tried to teach you
But i might need some lessons"

I could hear the Loud lyrics of Mr WizKids Essence being played from those loud sea-piano speakers, drawing me out of my thoughts.

This time the crowd was already in an uproar, signalling that the song was really well known.
"Well what can i say it's Mr WizKid of course"

Each person trying to out-sing the other, "Typical Lagosians"

I suddenly felt dizzy, noticing the now crowded VIP spot, which was really rare. Each person seemed to have an identical twin, the only thing which was odd was that each one of the twins were floating in mid air"

" This is funny " I said out loud to no one exactly while laughing hysterically.

I directed my glace to the bartender who was also vibing to the song being played. Fixing my glance at him for sometime, obviously he also had his floating twin.

Gesturing towards the short glass in front of me to attract his attention

" Pou - uur Mee-ee Some More " i said in a stutter

" Oga you say wetin " he asked in pidgin English trying to recall the message which I had just conveyed.

I gesture towards the glass once again and he quickly understood.

" Okay you want make I give you more Shot-tts " he replied while stressing on the word shots.

I reluctantly replied by giving an unsteady nod in the positive.

" Oga-aa" he said with his two hands up in excitement, obviously trying to encourage this drunk man to get even more drunk.

But I couldn't care less

He's probably enjoying the huge tips which I had been giving him before now. "I thought to myself"

"Oga make I go bring another round you don finish this bottle already" he said as he zoomed off to get another bottle, leaving his floating twin behind.

I tried raising my hand to call his attention but my hand felt Numb. I gave out a hysterical smile to myself once again.

The Music suddenly got louder, giving me a terrible headache.
I could feel my head pound alongside the beat of the song being played.

I tried lifting my hands to hold my head which now felt like it was about falling off, But still my hand would not oblige to my will.

I suddenly notice a couple of ladies who had been directing mischevious smiles at me before now. Well I returned the gesture by smiling back.

Of course I'm a gentleman

The bartender had now arrived, i could notice he was rather a very dark skinned man in his Early thirties, had a round chin and was average in height. Probably a married man because he looked the part, though he also had a ring on"
