They arrived at the police station and they took off his clothes, collected all the money in his pocket and his phone and locked him up in a cell where there were about 5men.
The place was dirty and smelly, with different things written and drawn on the walls with chalks, he wondered who gave them chalk to draw all these rubbish, there was a nice drawing of a naked woman on the wall and another drawing of a woman’s private part and all other nonsense.
The men looked at him as he came in; he saw someone who was relaxing on the wall with another waving a piece of cartoon to his face; this was something he saw in movies but now he was seeing it real life, he then knew that, that must be the so called king of the cage “o boy, show” the king said to him, he then walked to him quietly.
“You no sabi greet Oba abi?” he said to Luke; he had a Yoruba accent “Luke was silent and didn’t alter a word at first “You deaf?” he increased his voice; for peace to reign Luke greeted him “Good Morning” “E dor ba le” another inmate shouted at Luke “E fi le” the King said “What does that mean?” Luke asked and they laughed “O nso Oyibo” the leader said “Lie down and greet” somebody said and Luke smiled “So because I greet you, you won turn me to Mumu abi, e be like say you dey mad” Luke said “Haaaa!!” they shouted; the leader stood up facing Luke eye ball to eye ball, and suddenly he slapped Luke but Luke caught his hand before it got to his face; Luke then gave him a hot slap on his neck and he fainted. At that moment there was silence in the ‘Realm of thieves’. Luke walked to another part of the cell and sat down close to a man who has been quiet all through the time; Luke was with a strong face. “My name is Ade” the quiet guy said and Luke looked at him for like 3secs then looked away “Luke” he replied “Why are you here?” he asked Luke “False Accusation” Luke said without smiling “Hmmm, that happens a lot” Ade said A police man walked to the cell door “Na who be Ade for here” he said loudly “Na me” Ade said and stood up “Oya come outside, God don save you” the Police officer said and opened the door for Ade to come out.
Just that moment when Luke taught he had made a friend nut suddenly he was left alone “Oga person don die for here o” one of the cell inmates said pointing to their leader “Make e die na, wetin concern me” he said and walked away Luke sat down there just thinking while the inmates just stared at him and after 5mins the leader woke up and was as calm as a dove and after another 15mins the police man came back “Na who be Luke?” he said and Luke stood up with surprise and happiness “Oya follow me” the officer said and Luke followed him “No be the person wey you say don die be that” the police asked
“Yes, him don come back to life” the inmate replied Luke and the police man left; they gave him his clothes and asked him to go, he happily left but was surprised; as he stepped outside he saw Ade with two men dressed in black suit and dark glasses and stood beside a jeep “Hey Luke? Come over here” Ade said and Luke walked to him “get in the car, let’s go” Ade said as they entered the car but Luke didn’t, he just stood there with surprise and didn’t understand what was going on “Come on, I just saved your ass” Ade said and he entered the car Luke and Ade sat at the rear and the car headed east, Ade knew Luke was not comfortable “Come on relax, you’re safe” Ade said smiling.
After driving for 10mins, they arrived in a compound, a very beautiful large compound with a mansion; they stopped in front of the house and entered the house. They entered into a large sitting room, Luke saw 4 good looking men sitting down; two sat on a sofa by the left and one on a sofa by the right and One on an arm chair at the far end facing Luke, they sat as if they were waiting for him to come and indeed they were “Welcome Luke” the man who sat on the armchair said and stood up and walked to Luke then hugged him with a smile but Luke didn’t smile back, he got the feeling that these were cultists and this man was the leader.
He was also wondering how he knew his name “Don’t be surprised; Ade here told me about you” he said but Luke was still not getting it and he didn’t show it. The three men who were sitted just stared at him with a straight face “Why am I here?” Luke asked “We wanna offer you a job and make you part of the family” the leader said “What kind of job?” “A big job” he replied demonstrating with his hand “What kind of big job” “A job that’s gonna fetch you millions in one shot” “Millions? What job is that?” “Why all the question?” “Let me know this job am about to take” Luke said and he smiled “It’s called TAKE” ‘Take? Never heard of such job before” Luke said “Ha ha ha” he laughs like a villain “It’s a special kind of job for men with big balls” he said with googled eyes “Do you want the job?” he asked “Yes I want the job” Luke said “(Laughs) that’s my boy” he said smiling “But you have to prove to us that you are worthy to be called a TAKER” “What do you want me to do?” Luke asked “I want you to kill somebody” he said; Luke pretended not to be surprised by the word KILL
“Here is a picture” he said and handed Luke a picture he picked from the glass table. Luke smiled on seeing the face in the picture; it was the picture of the guy who almost killed him by raising false alarm on him “What a coincidence” he thought to himself “What’s his sin?” Luke asked “His time on earth is way past it’s expiring date” “Alright. I’ll do it” “(Laughs) I love this guy” the leader said “You will go with two of my men; the leader handed him a gun and he left with the two guys who brought him and Ade followed them “the guy is good” the leader said sitting down “Let’s just hope, he doesn’t get killed” one said “”It ain’t gonna happen” the leader said with pride in Luke…
