"Efe chuckles as he goes through the papers"

EFE

No, no, no!

I am not doing this.

(Pushes the documents to Tina)

TINA

This is not a request, Efe don't you get it?

EFE

I said no!

Do you know what they are asking me to do?

TINA

It's simple all you have to do is get the information the company needs.

EFE

If it were that easy, they wouldn't send me there.

Bu High is the most dangerous prison in the United States I know I process faster than the average human but we both know survival in a prison as dangerous as Bu High requires more than that.

I will be dead even before I get a bed space there.

TINA

Calm down, Efe.

EFE

Do not tell me to calm down, Tina.

I know there is more to this than you are telling me.

Why me watin I do them, na?

The Company has trained professional hitmen who can do this.

TINA

(Breaths heavily)

Efe, I cannot answer all of your questions.

EFE

I know that Tina all I want is for you to give me a clue.

Let me know what I am walking into at least for old times' sake.

Please!

TINA

(Breaths heavily)

Fine!

This is what I can tell you.

The man whom you are to get this information from was the CEO of Gates the former company before Code9 bought him out. He is a very dangerous man.

EFE

Ehh?

And una want make I go there.

TINA

Shut up and listen!

Some of our people are in there, they will help you in this mission.

EFE

What is this information about?

TINA

I am not required to tell you that.

All you need to do is stay alive and get the information.

EFE

What if I say no?

I can't do this, Tina.

TINA

Then the company will come for you.

Starting with your mother, Kome, Ovie, Cheta, Uche....

EFE

Why are they doing this to me?

(Places both his palm on his face)

TINA

There is no way out of this, Efe.

The company will take everything from you and probably destroy you if you do not do as they have asked.

(Gets up)

You have 48 hours to decide your fate. I wish you luck.

(Walks out of the room)

"Bishop Bola makes an alter call"

BISHOP BOLA

If you know deep down within you, that your ways are not right with God and you desire to be free from inequity, place your right hand on your chest and say after me.

"Lord Jesus."

FAITH

(Whispers to Bema)

Shouldn't your hands be on your chest?

BEMA

Meaning what?

FAITH

Are your ways right with God?

BEMA

You, are your ways right with God?

FAITH

I asked first, Oga.

BEMA

Yes, my ways are right with God!

FAITH

Really? You don't mean it.

After lying to all your friends about your relationship with Kome abi what is that her name again?

BEMA

(Appears frustrated)

I have told you; we are not in a relationship.

We are just friends!

FAITH

But she likes you?

BEMA

No, she doesn't!

FAITH

Then you like her?

BEMA

Faith, leave me alone!

FAITH

I knew it, you like her.

Let me guess, it's a one-sided love.

BEMA

"Come into my heart lord Jesus."

(Joins the congregation to sing)

FAITH

Does she know how you feel about her?

BEMA

Coming to stay...

(Continue singing)

FAITH

You should tell her I think she likes you too.

BEMA

(Angrily turns to her)

No, she doesn't.

FAITH

But you do?

BEMA

Faith why....

FAITH

(Interrupts him)

You should tell her.

Be a man!

BEMA

I am a man.

FAITH

Then tell her!

Mrs. IWEBEMA

(Hears them arguing)

What is wrong with both of you?

We are in Church for Christ's sake.

BEMA

She is...

Mrs. IWEBEMA

(Interrupts Bema)

Shut up and listen!

"Faith chuckles"

"Ovie comes out of the car."

ZINO

(Walks towards the car)

Good afternoon brother.

OVIE

I don't know if this afternoon is good, Zino.

ZINO

Hmm, how is Mama doing?

OVIE

Not good.

She is seriously worried about Efe.

And I'm worried about her health.

ZINO

But what could have happened, he should have reached out by now.

OVIE

Exactly.

I will be going back to the airport tomorrow morning to find out if they were able to figure out what is wrong.

ZINO

I will come with you.

How is Kome?

OVIE

Trying to pretend that everything is fine, but I know she is worried about him too.

Look I know you do not want anything to do with your past, but I am hoping you will be willing to comprise as our situation demands it.

ZINO

Ovie, you know...

OVIE

(Interrupts Zino)

Just hear me out, biko.

All I need you to do is use your connections to figure out what happened.

ZINO

Ovie, you know I have lost contact with everyone I used to know.

OVIE

I know but we both know you can still do this if you really want to do it.

ZINO

I can't, don't ask me to do that, please.

OVIE

Why?

What if something bad happens to Efe?

ZINO

Nothing bad will happen to Efe, the lord is in control.

OVIE

Can you stop being ridiculous God this God that.

Cucu say the lord will come down and show us where he is.

All it's going to take is one phone call, Zino I am not asking for much.

Do this for Mama, please.

Why you dey do like this na?

ZINO

I can't, I'm sorry, brother.

OVIE

I don't even know why I drove here in the first place. I should have known this would be a total waste of time.

ZINO

Try and understand me.

This isn't easy for me too.

Oh, God, and I thought I was free.

FRANK

Where did you go?

DAYO

That doesn't matter, the most important thing is that I have sorted out our problem.

FRANK

How?

TEGA

You ask too many questions, oga.

FRANK

(Points at Tega)

I wasn't talking to you.

Better mind your business.

TEGA

Why you dey point me?

Something dey worry you.

(Attempts to approach Frank)

"Dayo comes between both of them"

DAYO

What is wrong with both of you?

Remember our brother's code.

A nothing should come in between our friendship.

TEGA

He started it.

FRANK

You only got what you deserve.

(Points at Tega)

Stay away from Ngozi or this school nor go contain me and you. I swear to God who made me.

(Walks away)

TEGA

You can't do anything!

Rubbish.

DAYO

(Turns to Tega)

Shut up!

Stay away from her.

TEGA

Why?

So, you are taking his side.

DAYO

I'm not taking anybody's side.

She is one of us now and he approached her first so you can't go after her.

TEGA

Whatever.

FAITH

I don't know where the lab is.

BEMA

And we should be doing so too.

(Serves him a plate of bread and fried eggs.)

You know what to do.

DAYO

(Sights the pills in the middle of the bread)

Sharp!

You too good.

Naso, you go dey run am for us every day.

If you do me well, I go do you well.

COOK

No wahalla my guy, I dey with you.

TEGA

How far?

DAYO

Successful.

TEGA

We are finally back in business.

DAYO

Yes, we are so during break time, you all would approach that cook he knows what to do.

NGOZI

What if we get caught?

TEGA

(Turns to Ngozi)

Abeg don't kill our spirit with that kind of energy.

FRANK

She is right.

(Turns to Dayo)

Guy this is too risky.

Involving a staff will only make things worse. What if he turns on us?

DAYO

Frank, please.

We are doing this and it's final.

And he won't do that he owes me a lot of favors and I am compensating for it.

(Opens the bread stacked with tablets of F8)

"Bema gazes across the hall"

BEMA

Why is Ngozi sitting with them?

KOME

I just hope it's not what I think.

ISIO

Guys, I have to tell you something but keep it yourself.

BEMA

Hmm, you sound serious.

ISIO

That's because this is serious.

You can't tell Ngozi I told you.

KOME

What is it?

ISIO

(Breaths heavily)

Ngozi is in a lot of trouble.

KOME

I knew it.

It has something to do with Frank and Dayo, right?

ISIO

Yes.

BEMA

How come?

Ngozi isn't that type if it were you now I will...

(Notice Isio is waiting for him to finish what he was about to say)

ISIO

No oh, finish up.

BEMA

You know I didn't mean it that way.

You just look tough which makes you more like them.

Ngozi is soft and tender, so I don't get it.

KOME

Me too.

ISIO

Really?

I don't blame you guys.

In fact, am not talking again.

KOME

Oya sorry don't mind Bema

(Spanks Bema on his back)

BEMA

Ouch!

Why did you do that?

ISIO

Whatever.

You know Ngozi needed money for her mother's operation so out of desperation, she approached Dayo and the group so that she can make money from selling drugs here in school.

KOME

Is she okay?

Why would she even think of something that stupid?

BEMA

Well, I won't completely blame her.

KOME

Are you serious?

BEMA

Things were really hard for them that period so I guess the frustration and pressure must have pushed her to do that.

KOME

Guy, there is no excuse for walking into fire when you are already on fire.

ISIO

Kome, calm down.

KOME

(Turns to Isio)

And why did you keep this from us?

ISIO

Because I know this is how you would react.

KOME

How do you expect me to react?

Ngozi is on scholarship if she gets caught, her punishment will be different.

She will lose everything she has worked so hard for.

We can't let that happen.

ISIO

I know that is why I decided to tell you guys.

We have to find a way to pull her out of that group.

BEMA

Omo that would be very hard, oh.

Nobody has successfully left that group.

KOME

I don't know how, but she has to leave.

Our finals are getting closer and closer every day.

ISIO

(Sighs)

Hmm, don't worry guys I will take care of this.

(Sees Faith approaching)

Hey

(Waves at Her)

Join us.

BEMA

Isio, no!

"Faith walks in."

FAITH

Hey!

KOME

(Forces a smile as she gazes at Faith)

She was joking, don't mind her you can go.

ISIO

No, I wasn't. Sit-down

Give me that

(Takes Faith's Food trail from her)

FAITH

(Smiles at Isio)

Thank you.

KOME

(Gets up)

I have to submit an assignment.

Ahh, where could he be?

(Hears noise from the storeroom at the extreme back of the class.)

Who is there?

Mr. DANIEL

Who is there?

"Kome recognizes his voice and walks into the storeroom."

KOME

(Smiles at him)

Hey!

Good afternoon.

Mr. DANIEL

Good afternoon, how are you?

(Arrange the boxes)

KOME

I'm fine, what are you doing here?

Mr. DANIEL

Oh, your Form Mistress asked me to help her sort out some old files.

KOME

Oh, okay

You are sweating, dooh

Mr. DANIEL

What's that?

KOME

Oh, dooh means sorry or well-done.

Mr. DANIEL

Hmm, alright, thank you.

"Kome reaches out to wipe his face with her towel."

Mr. DANIEL

Give it to me, don't worry.

KOME

No, I want to do it.

(Gazes at his cute lips as her hands slowly progress to his sweaty chest)

Mr. DANIEL

Why are your hands trembling?

KOME

I don't know.

Mr. DANIEL

(Pulls her closer to himself and attempts to kiss her)

KOME

Wait.

Mr. DANIEL

What is it?

(Notice Kome is looking around)

Calm down, there are no cameras here.

KOME

Are you sure about that?

Mr. DANIEL

Yes

(Slowly unbuttons her shirt, unlocks her bra and drops his warm lips on her neck)

KOME

I want you so bad.

(Slowly pushes his head to her boobs, he slowly teases her pointed nipples with his tongue.)

Oh goodness.

(Moans out loud.)

Mr. DANIEL

(Whispers to her)

Keep quiet, do you want us to get caught?

KOME

No

(Covers her mouth as she fights the urge to scream out loud.)

"He slowly seats her down, lifts her legs, and buries his head in between her legs"

KOME

What are you do...

(Moans as she gets interrupted by the sweet sensation coming from his tongue across her walls.)

Don't stop.

(Places both her hands on her mouth as she fights the uncontrollable urge to moan on the top of her voice.)

Mr. DANIEL

I'm going to go in now.

KOME

No, I have never done that, please.

Mr. DANIEL

There is a first time for everything.

(Slowly begins to finger her with his left hand as he simultaneously takes off his belt from his trousers)

"The school bell rings"

KOME

(Pushes Mr. Daniel away)

Break is over.

No one can find us here.

TENI

Funke, I think we should let this go.

FUNKE

(Gets up)

No, I can't, I have to find out what happened to Victoria and who is responsible.

TENI

Are you trying to find who is responsible or if this is somehow related to Dayo and his group?

FUNKE

They are responsible for this, and I will prove this to you and everyone in this school

(Goes down and begins to search for clues)

TENI

Fine, you may have a point, but we should go to class now break time is over.

FUNKE

I am not leaving here till I get a lead on this.

(Sights a scattered bead at the edge of one of the sinks)

TENI

Okay, Madam Detective Goodluck with your investigation.

I'm going to class

(Turns to leave,)

FUNKE

Yes, I knew it.

I found something.

(Wears a glove and picks up the broken beads)

TENI

What's that?

FUNKE

Beads with some letters.

This could be it, Teni.

TENI

You know this could belong to anybody, right?

FUNKE

I doubt that.

It's stained with blood.

Look!

TENI

(Noice the dry blood on some of the beads)

Wow, you might be right. But what if it belongs to Victoria?

FUNKE

I don't know

We just have to figure out who these beads belong to.

TENI

Hmm, now I am curious.

CHAIRMAN

Wow, this is impressive.

Mrs. IWEBEMA

Thank you, sir.

CHAIRMAN

So, by next year, we should be able to open a branch in South Africa.

Mrs. IWEBEMA

If our profit margin stays this way, then I don't see what would stop us.

CHAIRMAN

Wow, you know this is something I have been trying to achieve in the past five years and in less than two years, you have brought me this close to my dream.

Mrs. IWEBEMA

(Smiles)

I'm glad your dreams are finally coming through sir.

CHAIRMAN

You know what, if you can get this done before the year runs out, I might just consider handling some of my shares in the company to you. That way I will be able to keep you trapped with me.

Mrs. IWEBEMA

(Smiles)

You do not have to do that, sir.

You know my loyalty will always be with you no matter what.

CHAIRMAN

That's why I trust you, and I left you in charge.

Mrs. IWEBEMA

Thank you, sir.

Sorry about that.

CHAIRMAN

What do you want?

Dr. GLORIA

Can't I spend time with my father again?

CHAIRMAN

Hmm.

Dr. GLORIA

What?

Why do you always assume the worst when it comes to me?

But if it's that your precious principal now you....

CHAIRMAN

Hold it there.

Leave her out of our conversation.

Dr. GLORIA

Fine.

(Smiles at him)

Dad.

CHAIRMAN

What is it?

Dr. GLORIA

You know the shareholders' annual conference is coming up and you are yet to decide on who is going to lead the planning committee.

So, for a change, I would love to be more involved. If possible be in charge of everything.

CHAIRMAN

Hmm, okay.

Come up with your plan and strategy then submit it to me if I like it, then the floor is yours.

Dr. GLORIA

(Smile)

Thank you, Daddy.

CHAIRMAN

You are welcome.

But you should know I do not miss business with emotions so do not expect me not to call you out if it's not up to the required standard.

Dr. GLORIA

I understand.

And I will do my best.

ISIO

What are your plans for Ngozi?

DAYO

I don't see how that is any of your business.

ISIO

DAYO

If she was important to you, you would have stopped her from approaching me.

ISIO

So, there is nothing you can do?

DAYO

My rules are my rules.

Once you are part of the group, you cannot leave.

I believe there can be exceptions.
