Three months later.

The cell rooms were stuffy and most times stinky. Alosco and Johnny has however gotten used to it.   Since the last two months, they arrived here, they abided by every rule so that,they would maybe one day see the sun again outside the prison yards. There was hope for them. at least that was what the judge said.

Alosco sat on the dusty floor while Johnny had his hands intertwined with the iron bars. They weren't the only ones in their cells but seemed to have gotten respect from the rest.

A prison officer was approaching towards their cell .

He sneered at them "Both of you.. Have a visitor "

Immediately the cell was opened and the brothers walked hand in hand to the room.

They sat down and the officer left them with their visitor.

The man looked at them again, realising how hungry and shabby their appearances are.  He passed a cooler from under the table to them. When they opened the cooler, they see that at least three spoons had been taken from the initial food.

"You know how they are, these officers. They are checking for poison they claim. You're lucky I could even bring it in. " the man says cooly.

"How's everyone back home? " Johnny asks.

The man leans on his chair. "Everybody was pretty shaken by the turns of events but we are okay. Everyone is back to normal. "

Alosco's jaw clenches "Of course they would be normal. At the end of the day, we lose. "

Johnny stares at the visitor.  "Thank you for coming. "

His old face breaks into a  smile. "For all the trouble, it's the least I could do. "

"No seriously...This is very appreciated. Once we get out of here.. "

"Don't make promises you can't keep son.. Wait till we cross the bridge " the man says again.

There was silence. Appreciated silence.

"How about my Maryanne? " Alosco asked.

Johnny stared at him and narrowed his eyes.  "Your Maryanne?"

"Yes my girl friend.. "

Johnny chuckles "Maybe it's a different girl. The one I like and belongs to me is in our compound. Mrs Ufot's daughter. "

"That's my Maryanne! " Alosco whines.

There is rage between the brothers when the old man decided to speak.

"She doesn't belong to either of you! "

They both looked at him.  "That good for nothing gold digger is the devil's incarnate. She played both of you!"

"That's not possible.. She's carrying my baby.. " Alosco says defensively.

"Look at your mouth! " he says and continues "She's carrying my baby " he mimicked him mockingly.

"Whatever she's carrying isn't yours. As soon as both of you got arrested, it didn't take a  while to find a man who took her out of the country to God knows where. Rumours have it that, that is the father of her child. "

Crest fallen, both of the brothers were. "All this time.. " Alosco murmured again.

"It will be alright son. " The man says with a half smile.
