Kiki brought out the key and tossed it to Mekus Money. "You can wait in the car."
"Wait in the car?"
"I want to clean up and make sure we don't leave any evidence."
"I meant, why 'in the car'? The motorbike rider is still waiting outside the compound."
"Pay him off. We can't ride in the open all the way to Victoria Island when I'm supposed to be dead and you are on a 'kill on sight' list."
Mekus Money saw reason to what she had said. "Okay," he replied, then went outside.
Kiki watched him leave, suddenly feeling remorseful. She wondered if things would have been better if she hadn't met him in the club. It would have made killing him easy and she wouldn't be in her present predicament. As soon as he closed the door behind him, she immediately got to work.
She closed all the windows in the house and opened the doors, then went into the kitchen and turned on all eight burners on the cooker. She then put a fully loaded gun in the microwave oven and set it for two minutes before sprinting out of the house.
Mekus Money was in the passenger's seat waiting. A few seconds after Kiki entered, he sniffed twice.
"You smell of gas," he said. "Why do you smell of gas?"
"Because I turned on the gas."
"Why?"
"Because I want to clean up the house of any evidence we might have left."
"You're setting the house on fire?"
She turned to look him in the face. "Do you have a problem with that?"
"It's a house. Femi laboured to build it."
"You really care about someone who wants you dead. He tried to have you killed twice." Kiki shook her head. She didn't have the time for that. She stretched her hand. "Key."
Mekus Money handed her the key. Before she started the ignition, she brought out Sniper's fingers from her pocket and used them to hold the key.
"What are those?" Mekus Money asked, as he retched twice. "That goes beyond inhumanity. I think I'm going to throw up."
"There was no other way," Kiki said. "The key is fingerprint sensitive. I wouldn't be able to start the car otherwise."
She powered the car and it prompted her to check in concerning Mekus Money. She typed in "C" and sped off as the microwave exploded.
