Luks: "Sandile get out my fucking way." Sands: "Nope." He walked in the house. Sands: "Nice crib. I wouldn't mind a place like this. Liz will love it. Maybe I should buy her a house?" Lubb: "Who the fuck is Liz?" He whispered. Luks: "Sandile give me my key- Fuck it." He went to the drawer to fetch another. Sandile pulled out all four keys from his pocket. Sands: "As I was saying, she might like a house. With a big kitchen, back yard and swimming pool. I haven't really done anything to make her happy. Actually thinking of going to Johannesburg to surprise her. Video calls aren't doing it for me anymore." Luks: "What the hell are you talking about?" Sands: "My girlfriend. Who else." Lubb: "Give me the keys in your hand." Sands: "No." Lubb: "Sandile. I don't have time today. Give me the keys!" Sands: "No. Here's the thing, I can make things very difficult for the both of you. All you have to do is sit still and wait for the Dark Hour to pass." Lubb: "The fuck is a dark hour?" Sands: "Lukhanyo knows. Tell him bafo." Luks: "What is it for?" Sands: "Bad luck for angry people. See, with the bad energy you give out you attract bad energy back to yourself. Usually nothing bad happens, until the Dark Hour. Which is now. The same thing you've probably done all your life, might be the one thing that gets you killed right now. Nobody will understand how. Can I get something to drink?" Lubb: "Are you on drugs Sandile? Should I call Lakhe?" Sands: "No and no. Ask your brother." Lubb: "Lukhanyo, do you believe this dumbwit?" Luks: "What do you drink?" Lubb: "SERIOUSLY?" Sands: "Anything of your favorite." Lubby called Soma. Lubb: "Lukhanyo is acting crazy." Soma: "Coming." He hung up. Luks: "I'm not acting crazy. Let's just sit in. It couldn't hurt." Lubb: "You believe him? A Dark hour? Does that make sense to you?" Luks: "Yes it does Lubabalo. Do you trust me?" Lubb: "Yes!!" Luks: "Then let this be. Please." Lubb: "Fine!" He sat on the couch and switched on the TV. Lubb: "And just so you know I'm the only one allowed to handle this motherfucking remote from now till Sunday!!!!" Lukhanyo brought Sandile his drink and glass. Soma and Soso walked in. Luks: "I've given out too many keys. You can't just waltz in here whenever you like." Soso: "Knowing that you disappear for no reason, we're not taking chances. Who's this?" Lubb: "Sandile. Lukhanyo's girlfriend's former brother in law." He sneered. Soma: "That's a very long title. Why is he mad?" He whispered. Luks: "Beats me. Drink?" Soma: "Uhm...no." He sat next to Lubby. Soso: "Okay. This is weird. Why is your girlfriend's former brother in law in your house drinking your alcohol looking comfortable as shit?" Luks: "Same reason why Lubby took my girlfriend's ex husband to Jeffrey's Bay for lunch in our helicopter." Lubby laughed. Lubb: "Lukhanyo I take you out all the time. Chill." Luks: "That's not the point!" Soma: "Not cool, Lubby. Not cool." Lubb: "Okay fine. I was wrong. For not telling you-" Luks: "Would it have made a difference if you did!" Lubb: "I don't know, would it?" Luks: "No!! Why would you befriend him?" Lubb: "It was strictly business. No talks of you or Spho...well a little of Spho but that's it." Luks: "And?" Lubb: "He just said he's bummed he has to miss his kid's first cake sale and he'll call Spho to cover for him and he's grateful she's a good mom. That's all. You didn't even buy me a cookie and you were there!" Soso: "Not cool Lukha. You didn't even buy a cookie?" Luks: "I got a free cupcake. But Lubby, would you like it if I took out Lungelo?" Lubb: "You think I don't know you already do? I've seen the chats between you two." Luks: "This is different and you know it." Lubb: "How?" Luks: "Lungelo and I's relationship is based on our daughters. That's it." Lubb: "Lakhe's relationship and I is based on Bill." Sands: "You two drag queens done?" Lubb: "I will punch you in the throat." Sands: "Square up." Lubby stood up, Soma holding him back. Soma: "Lubby, what is it with you today?" Soso: "Did you take your pills?" Lubb: "I did!! I don't want this one in my house!" Luks: "Weren't you chilling with him last night?" Lubb: "That was different. I was having cake and milk. You know it makes me soft." Sands: "Do you want a cake and milk?" Lubb: "There's no cake in this house." Sandile got up and walked out closing the door behind him. Lubb: "Finally! Let's give him a 5 minute head start then dash out real quick. We set?" Luks: "No. You heard hi-" Lubb: "You believe that stupid shit!! That boy is on drugs." Luks: "You never listen." Lubb: "Then tell me Lukhanyo." Luks: "I can't." Lubb: "You believe this?" He asked Soma. Luks: "You just need to trust me." Lubb: "Not if you're gonna trust your girlfriend's former brother in law who's a drug addict with intense mommy issues, turning your girlfriend into his actual mom, I'm not." Soso: "Intense mommy issues?" Soma: "Drug addict?" Lubb: "We're leaving." They went to the couch looking for the keys. Lubb: "He fucking left with the keys?? Unbelievable!" Soma: "We'll take my car. Let's go." He opened the front door but it didn't budge. Soma: "Unlock this door." Luks: "Uses a code." Lubby punched it in and it beeped green light. Lubb: "open." The door didn't budge. Lukhanyo tried the code then opened the door. Still no luck. Lubb: "I'm slightly turning manic Lukhanyo. My bladder is full." Soso: "Lets try the back door." Luks: "No point. We're not leaving this house without his permission." .....
