Chapter 9

Later on, that night the Zulu family is having dinner the helper gets in the sitting room with Kabelo. 'Kabelo what is wrong?' ask Zandile standing up. 'We have a problem miss Zulu' says Kabelo. 'What do you mean?' ask Percy also standing up. 'I think it would be better if we talk about this without granny present' says Kabelo. 'Go talk in Percy's office' says Florence. 'I think they should also come with us' says Kabelo looking at Tshego and Lwazi. They all stand up and go to Percy's office. 'So, what is wrong?' ask Percy sitting in his chair. Kabelo takes out his tablet and shows them the news that were broadcasted that night. 'I don't understand, how did this get out?' ask Percy. 'I also don't know sir after you called me, I just called the ambulance, but it looks like the reporters were already there' says Kabelo. 'KB what were reporters doing in the township? it is obvious someone called them' ask Zandile. 'Did they see us?' ask Tshego. 'They did, see they showed your car and a partial part of your number plate and the hand of one of you was captured which one of you has a tattoo?' ask Kabelo. 'It is me' says Andile scared. 'It says here that the police are calling all the tattoo parlours in town so they can find out the owner of the tattoo' says Lwazi. 'Do they know it is us?' ask Andile scared. 'No, the police don't know but the reporter who reported the story hinted that the accident has to do with the Zulu's' says Kabelo. 'Listen to her' says Percy playing the video. 'The people of Lusi township are praying for an old lady that was attacked this morning in her home, the perpetrators were seen fleeing the scene where a picture of their car was captured and one of their hands, we want anyone who know someone with this tattoo to call the police immediately, rumours says that the grandson of this lady is in a competition with that other family now you all know what happens to people who go against that family, this is Isi from one News' the video ends. 'Tshego you should stop using your car for now' says Percy. 'That old lady is she alright?' ask Andile. 'Nobody knows for now' says Kabelo. 'We did not do anything to her' says Tshego. 'The public does not know that I have to go now' says Kabelo. 'KB thank you for this' says Zandile. 'OfCourse' says Kabelo leaving. 'What are we going to do?' ask Tshego. 'Nothing, you will stop using your car and Andile you should cover that tattoo when you go out' says Percy. 'Alright' says Tshego. 

The following day, at the hospital Njabulo is sitting in a chair while his grandmother is sleeping on the bed. Enter Top deck, Lunch Bar and Noah. 'Hey man how are you holding up?' ask Noah. 'I am fine, how are you guys?' ask Njabulo. 'We are fine, you look tired' says Top deck. 'I am' says Njabulo. 'How is she?' ask Lunch Bar. 'The doctor said she is going to be fine; she had a heart attack, but she was bought in time' says Njabulo. 'That is good news' says Top deck. 'Did you guys manage to find out how the Zulu's found out my surname and home address?' ask Njabulo. 'We tried, but we found nothing' says Noah. 'What did they want from your grandmother's house?' ask Lunch Bar. 'I don't know' says Njabulo. 'But don't worry we will find out for you; we are leaving now' says Top deck standing up. 'See you man' says Noah, they leave.

At Twinkle books, Top deck and Lunch Bar are working.  Enter Njabulo. 'Hey why are you back so early?' ask Top deck. 'Grandma did not want to see me' says Njabulo. 'OH, sorry man' says Lunch Bar.  'It is fine, she is still angry' says Njabulo. 'Anyway, everything for the book signing event tomorrow is ready' says Lunch Bar. 'And people are excited for it' says Top deck. 'Now that is good news after a day, I just had I am happy to hear some things in my life are good' says Njabulo. 'How is the new book going?' ask Lunch Bar. 'Alright I don't want to be excited about it after what happened last time but this one, we need to make sure we release it the same day as the Zulu's' says Njabulo. 'I just wish everything will go well in this event' says Top deck. 'Right, we deserve some peace after this' says Lunch Bar. 'Where is Noah?' ask Njabulo.
