EPISODE 4
Silas laughed hysterically “Yes you can take me out”
“Are you sure you are okay?” She wondered why he laughed so hard. “Come and help me to choose what I will wear please” he followed her to her room.
“What’s all this on the wall?”
“The Python diagram right? That’s our symbol; we the serpentines”
“You are a snake?”
“No serpentine is a women club”
Silas moved closer to her little by little “let me just strangle her no one knows I’m here” he thought
“Silas do you know I will be contesting as President in the coming election” she picked a dress
“Wow that’s great”
“Yes contesting under SCP,” she said removing her previous dress.
“SCP that’s the leading party you know”. He answered looking away. “Yes,” she wore a new sexy dinner dress.
“how do I look?” She walked around the room
“Beautiful and young”
“Young? I’m not that old before I’m just 48 years old”
“And I’m 24 years” Silas replied
“Let’s go” She ignored his reply. They set out: drank, danced, and headed back home.
Pamela picked up her phone and dialed a number “hello madam you did not even check on me”.
“I’m sorry ma, I will come as early as possible tomorrow morning” the recipient answered.
“Who are you calling?” Silas asked
“I’m calling a lady that wanted to join our cult. I already told our leader about her and since then have not heard from her. We have our meeting tomorrow”
Silas helped Pamela to her room, as she was already drunk. “Don’t go please stay with me” Pamela begged
“You mean I’m going to sleep on this bedspread, with thousands of snakes on it”
“No they are just designs, she pushed him to herself”
The following morning, The lady came so early “Aunty good morning thanks for reminding me I almost forget”
“You didn’t even call me since then”
“I’m sorry ma, is the worries of life” they entered the car. As soon as they drove off, Silas sneaked out to his Grandma’s place. He ran to the room he kept Favour covering his nose “honey you messed up this place” Favour jumped on him, hugging him tightly.
“You know who I am,” Silas asked smiling. She jumped on him again this time giving him a bite. Silas ran out locking the door on her. He wept. His grandmum moved closer to comfort him. “Mother I can’t leave her like this I will get a Nurse who takes care of their likes”
“That will be expensive you know” He made inquiries and a lady was directed to him; Joyce by name. She agreed on collecting #50,000 per month, she was able to clear the room and clean up Favour as well without being hurt ” How do you do that?” Silas asked surprisingly
“Is my Job” she answered removing her gloves.
“You will receive an alert before the month ends ” he assured the nurse
“So madam remind me your name,” Pamela asked as they were getting closer to their meeting hall.
“I’m Sophia”
“Sophia, don’t mind me I forget things easily, Are you sure you are ready for this”
“I am more than ready ma, this suffering is too much, I can’t continue like this”
“So you don’t believe in God’s time, God’s time is the best you know”
“I know but God’s time is too slow, I will be 40 next month, I know what my mates are doing”
“Here we are” Pamela parked her car among many other exotic cars. they walked quickly to the hall. Pamela exchanged pleasantries introducing Sophia to other members.
“All hail the mother of wealth” all the members hailed Kakamura as she stepped in with a bowl of water in her hands, they wash their hands in the bowl and drank from it as usual. Sophia stood startled.
“Come over” Kakamura called her “I believe Pamela has told you our code of conduct, so I will be asking you a few questions: What’s our slogan?”
“Serpentines to the world”
“How do we operate?”
“Trafficking human both dead and living”
“Good of you” Kakamura laughed horribly. “Bring me her meal” she instructed
A lady came and gave her a pot of concoction; a mixture of cooked snake and black pepper. She ate it timidly and fearfully.
All the members welcomed her officially to the group by shaking her hands
“Now that you are one of us, watch your hand and drink from the water”. She did.
“You all can make your wishes” they began to mutter silently. The meeting ended everyone left while Pamela stayed back.
“Mother I want to see you, have found a man as we discussed”
“So quick, we will turn him to an imbecile so he won’t be controlling you, any time you make love just try and get his semen then bring it over”
“Okay Mother, give me between now and tomorrow”
“Don’t forget we have a meeting with the chairman of SCP tomorrow morning”
“Okay mother thank you” She went back to her car.
“Sorry for keeping you waiting Sophia” she was shocked to see her in tears
“What happened”
“They call me now that my husband is dead” she cried
Pamela laughed “welcome to the widows club, I told you before so why are you crying” she hissed.
Sophia headed to the hospital where are husband was, wailing and hitting herself on the ground in pretense.
Pamela on getting home noticed Silas’ absence “Where is Silas, where is he always going,” she became worried.
Silas worked in quietly and pecked her. Pamela smiled “By the time I woke up this morning I did not see you beside me”
“I’m not comfortable on your bedspread”
“I don’t like the way you go out of this place every time, other guards don’t do that”
“I’m sorry” He frowned his face.
“What happened, why did you change your mood”
“I need some money”
“Is that why you change your mood” She picked up her phone and made a transfer
“What! 250,000 thank you so much” He hugged her, transferring all the money to the Nurse.
“If you know how much I love you, you won’t be thanking me for that small amount, come with me,” She lured him to her room.
