I'm still standing outside his door, thinking of ways to set in,' why don't I play along in their little game, I'll just pretend like I know everything', 'that was a good idea', I assured myself.
I knocked again, "who's there?" this time it wasn't Martha, it was David himself, he was surprised to see me. "sir, what are you doing here?" he asked confused, I didn't answer his question, "where is it", I asked in a deep tone I never knew I had, 's-sir, sir what are you talking about?' he asked sounding confused and afraid, "why are you shaking? You know what you did" I said walking into his apartment, though it was small, it was comfortable.
"So, back to business, where is it?" I asked, "I don't know what you are talking about", he said sounding confused, "don't you remember?", "that day, a murder took place, and I saw your car drive off, and you stand here and lie?", I yelled, standing up, "or did your car just happen to be there the exact time the murder took place? - I don't think so", I added even louder and much more angrier, "Now tell me everything", I said a little bit calm, he sighed before saying, 'you should sit', I didn't really want to, but I did anyway.
"I didn't have money, and our landlord threatened to throw us out if we failed to pay the 6-month rent we owed, out of frustration and desperation I made a deal with people - bad people - they promised to pay me a huge sum of money for a favor...", he stopped to take a cup of water and he continued.
"I got to them with the help of my very close friend, George, he's also a cab driver, we work together in the same transport agency", " he told them about me and how desperately I needed the money, and you wouldn't believe the amount of money they were willing to pay me", "they offered me 250 thousand naira for starters, who wouldn't want that kind of money for a favor as cheap as this", "what's the favor?", I asked as I leaned in closely, ' they did something , I couldn't quite see , and I was told to drive off, after I did I received the other half of the pay ', he said.
