#OMNISCIENT_POV

Somewhere in the urban part of Nairobi , Jerome sits inside his beautiful home smoking and drinking an expensive bottle of Manchester wine.. On each of his side are two women, who are dressed in skimpy clothes, massaging his shoulders.. Enjoying what life has offered him, he laughs and talks to his associates who are present with him as well.
Suddenly, their conversation is interrupted by his brother’s entry… He and his associates look at his brother as he takes his seat close to them pouring himself a glass of the wine. After gulping down 3 to 4 cups, Dia belches and exhales.
.

Dia ➡ Ah… Manchester wine.. The best wine ever.
.

Jerome ➡ Have you lost your manners?
.

Dia ➡ What?..
.

Jerome ➡ I said have you lost your manners??

Dia ➡ Sorry brother.. Good evening.
.

Jerome ➡ Seriously I can’t believe you… What happened earlier today huh? Didn’t I tell you never to carry that stuff around? Didn’t I?

Dia ➡ I’m sorry… I just wanted to make some cash.
.

Jerome ➡ You fool! You’re lucky the police are working with us else this would have been a problem. Also I’d like you to stay low… Things have been quite slow and not to mention that the other mafias are waiting for an opportunity to strike.. Plus let’s not forget the mysterious “POKAC*.. I wonder who those clowns are… They’ve become a thorn on our side.
.

Dia ➡ Let’s eliminate them.
.

Jerome ➡ It’s too risky… Rumor has it that there’s a federal agent that have been lurking around…. We can’t expose ourselves.. We have to be careful besides the next shipment is coming in the next few days..
And the boss wants us to be careful with this next package 📦, Things have been tight for him.
.

Dia ➡ Who’s this boss of yours? I want to see him.
.

Jerome ➡ He doesn’t allow anyone just to see him… He’s confidential about his identity but he will show up in Kenya. Let’s just….
.
SLAM!
.

Just before Jerome could finish, he was interrupted by Tobi’s presence.. Seeing his long time former friend surprises him, He smiles and approaches him with a handshake but Tobi slaps his hand away.
.

Jerome ➡ My friend! It’s been a while… Why this hostile entry?
.

Tobi ➡ 😒 Tell your brother to stay away from my sister Ashanti or I swear I’ll break him.
.

Jerome ➡ Your sister?
.

Tobi ➡ You heard me.
.

Jerome ➡ I don’t understand… Did he do something to her?
.

Tobi ➡ I just told you… Tell your brother to stay away from my sister or else.
.

Jerome ➡ Hey, hey, hey… Watch who you’re talking to… You just can’t come in here and start making threats. You should know where you stand.
.

Tobi chuckles and then come closer to Jerome staring at him in the eyes.. He glares at him for a while before he continues talking.
.

Tobi ➡ Just because you’re some drug lord doesn’t mean I’m afraid of you.. The reason why your brother isn’t in a hospital is because I came here to warn you first… The next time he come close to my sister.. You’ll be seeing him in a hospital.
.

After that Tobi walks out of the house leaving Jerome seething in anger. He eventually goes back to his sit and pours himself more wine into his glass.
.

Dia ➡ Are you going to sit there and let him talk to you like that?.
.

Jerome ➡ SHUT UP FOOL! you’re the reason that dog disrespected me.. I don’t ever what to see you with his sister ever again, you hear?
.

In that moment, Jerome’s business contact and Intel giver, Tucker speaks up after blowing out a big cloud of smoke from his mouth.
.

Tucker ➡ Your brother is right… You can’t let that n-gga talk to you like that.
.

Dia ➡ See… Even the Australian white guy understands.
.

Jerome ➡ Shut up Dia… Just do as I say.
.

Tucker ➡ Who’s that black monkey anyways?
.

Jerome ➡ Tobi Mingati, Son of Gatimu Mingati.. Their family is famous for taming of lions abilities and hunting skills. They’re not to be messed with..
.

Tucker ➡ Hmm… Taming lions.. Not bad. But still he ought to have shown you some respect.
.

Jerome ➡ It doesn’t matter, let’s focus on the task at hand.
.

Feeling annoyed by his brother’s response Dia gets up and leaves the house.

Meanwhile somewhere around Tom Mboya Street, Tobi walks briskly as he heads to his cousins house.
Moments later, he arrives there and knocks at his cousin’s door. He waits for a while before his cousin comes to the door.
.

Solomon ➡ Who’s there?
.

Tobi ➡ It’s Tobi..
.

Solomon ➡ Which Tobi?
.

Tobi ➡ Stop messing with me.. You know who it is.
.

Solomon laughs and then opens the door, both men shake hands before entering the house, as Tobi enters into the room, he realizes there are some members of “POKAC” present in that moment,.. He gasps as he sees a barrel of a rifle underneath his cousin’s couch, He quickly puts it under and looks at the gun wondering where his cousin got the gun.
.

Solomon ➡ She’s a beauty isn’t she?
.

Tobi ➡ What is going on Solomon? Why do you have a gun?
.

Solomon ➡ Relax and sit down.. Let me explain everything to you.
