EXT. An unknown location
"Dripping down her hands was the blood of Saraki Abubakar as she walked into a room filled with armed men alongside her sisterhood."
BUKY
(Smiles as she gazes at Zino approaching her with a box covered with blood)
Welcome sisters of the light. I knew you would not fail me.
ZINO
I want out as we agreed earlier.
(Drops the Box covered in blood in front of Buky)
BUKY
And so, it shall be if you give The Company what she asks for.
ZINO
Here is what they want.
(Points at the box covered with blood).
BUKY
(Signals one of the bodyguards to unlock the box)
Have you thought about this, Zino? There is so much the company can still offer you if you keep working for us.
ZINO
My contract with The Gate is over and it's of no interest to me and my sisters to renew.
BUKY
(Gazes at Saraki's head that has been contoured into the box)
Well done.
(Turns to Zino)
You know the company considers you her greatest human asset so what makes you think we will let you and The Sisterhood walk out of here alive?
ZINO
Because if I do not walk out of this building alive in twenty minutes, The Secretes of The Gate will be exposed, and they will come for every one of us.
BUKY
How Dare you threaten me?
(The bodyguards pull out their guns as the sisters follow suit).
Look around you my people are everywhere you are outnumbered.
ZINO
(Gazes at the gun pointed towards herself and the sisters)
A deal is a deal you can not go back on your words.
ZARA
(Gazes at Buky)
All we want is our freedom. The Company promised us that if we bring them the head of Saraki.
DEJA
Which we have done so you must let us go.
BUKY
(Approaches Zino)
I know my father has fed your Ego for years that is why you and your sisters speak with no regard for me.
ZINO
We have done our part.
The company must do hers
"Buky's phone rings"
BUKY
(Picks up the phone).
Hello, Boss.
(Hangs up after a few seconds)
ZINO
Guess that was your Superior probably scolding you for wasting my precious time.
BUKY
(In a soft voice)
You can go.
You are free agents but remember you have lost all right to the protection provided to you by The Company.
ZINO
We are fully aware of the consequences of our actions.
We hold ourselves accountable for our lives.
(Turns to leave).
BUKY
Good luck, Zino till we meet again.
ZINO
(Turns to Buky)
Leave while you still can.
These are dangerous people. The company will destroy your life.
You don't have to follow in your Father's footsteps.
KATE
I should be the one giving you that advice.
We both know they will come for you when the time is right. There is no haven for you and your sisterhood.
When the time comes, they will come looking for you.
ZARA
Let's go, Zino.
We are free now.
"Zino drops her guns on the floor as she walks out of the building alongside her Sisterhood."
