(Act
V Scene 3)
(The following day, Peller is seen
in his room soliloquizing)
Peller: (soliloquizing) what kind of life is this? What have I gotten
myself into? How did this started? I wasn’t like this when I gained admission
into this school..I was a fervent Christian then..yeah! with great fire, until
I was negatively influenced by the then prayer coordinator, brother Segun.
After walking with him for few months, I also started womanizing; see how
miserable I am now. I pray for your mercy lord, (kneels) baba forgive me my sins, I fornicate, I lie and even paint
others as sinners. (He prays for about
three hours before he supernaturally slept off)
(Few minutes after he slept, his
phone rings and he answer the call)
Peller: (answers the call) hello mummy, yes, you want to see me..today?..it’s
urgent?..A vision?..all right..I’m coming right now.
(As he opens the door to go out, he
is pushed back into the room and two hefty with short guns enter. Seeing them,
Peller goes on his kneels)
Scorpion: so na you be Peller ugh? na
you be baba for the girls?
Elijah: I’m sorry sir.
Clement: (laughs) of course you’ll be sorry after you get baptized in the
soil. You impregnated our sister and you have the effrontery to tell her to
abort it.
Scorpion: well, she don abort ‘am but
‘in no get womb to carry belle forever.
Elijah: ah! I didn’t know it would be
like that. Please forgive me; I’ll...I’ll marry her (he starts sobbing)
Scorpion: Clement na wetin be code 7?
Clement: (looks up to heaven with a mean face) Silence crowns a shrill with
cries.
(He looks down and shoots Elijah in
the heart; the two guys flee before Elijah leans backward. His phone rings intermittently
and slaps the silence that ensues)
(Lights
fade)
