Episode 13.

#OMNISCIENT_POV

While Kenya is brewing up with heat, Things aren’t so good in merry old England, especially in the Lovette family.
After hearing the news of one of their relatives being kidnapped in Africa, everyone gathers in Aunt Nicole’s house to show their sympathy and too also decide on how to rescue Lisa.

Almost everyone in the Lovette family is present in Aunt Nicole’s house, and after they’ve all gathered, they begin to discuss on what to do. Mr. Andrew as usual shows his displeasure and vows to turn Kenya upside down if anything happens to his lovely daughter.
.

Andrew ➡ Those African sons of pigs!!!! If anything happens to Lisa.. I’ll crucify them!!! I knew something like this would happen.
.

Aunt Nicole ➡ My God! Andrew.. Stop talking like that.. Cursing and making threats won’t bring back your daughter.. Let’s think this through. What do the kidnappers want? Did they demand any ransom?
.

Andrew ➡ Yes.. 500.million dollars ?
.

Aunt Nicole ➡ 500.million? Are you serious?… What an insult! … Is that all they could ask for ?
.

Lizzy ➡ Mom.. Calm down!
.

Aunt Nicole ➡ Calm down!? Don’t those monkeys know who we are… We’re the Lovettes and we have.. MONEY!! 500.million is just a walk in the park…
.

Rebecca ➡ I agreed! They should be demanding a billion… But what can you expect from the timid African people.
.

Carol ➡ Hold it.. Right there… Let’s all stop talking about money and let’s talk about Lisa… This isn’t the time to be discussing about money.. Her Life is at stake here.
.

Gwen ➡ Hmph! Look who’s talking!? It’s the half African Lovette herself… How does it feel to stained with African blood?
.

Carol ➡ Little b-tch! Better your mouth or else.
.

Aunt Nicole ➡ Caroline!! Language.
.

Carol ➡ Sorry mom…
.

Gwen ➡ Such a shame! No manners at all.. It seems that you’ve been contaminated with African barbarism.
.

Aunt Nicole ➡ Gwen! Shut your bloody mouth and stay still…. I don’t want to hear a word from you. Where were we??
.

Ted ➡ Rescuing Lisa.
.

Carol ➡ I have a suggestion.
.

Rebecca ➡ Fire away cousin.
.

Carol ➡ We don’t know who these criminals are and they can’t be trusted, so I say we shouldn’t send the money to them yet!
.

Andrew ➡! What!? Why? My daughter is in danger.
.

Carol ➡ Sure but have you heard from her? Did the kidnappers allow you to talk to her?
.

Andrew ➡ Er… No.. They said she was asleep!
.

Carol ➡ You see!? This might all be a scam!
.

Gwen ➡ Scam!? How is it a scam!?
.

Carol ➡ Back in Nigeria.. There are some youth who engage in online fraud… They call themselves *Yahoo boys*… They’re so smart and good in persuading people.
.

Aunt Nicole ➡ So you’re saying all Lisa’s kidnap is nothing but a scam!?
.

Carol ➡ Perhaps!?
.

Gwen ➡ But her phone has been called several times, it’s not going… We even had to contact the university in Kenya where she’s lecturing.. They haven’t seen her for days… And you’re saying all this is a scam!
.

Micheal ➡ Hold on! This thing is complicated… There’s no doubt that she’s missing but I don’t think the Kidnappers have her either… Because if they really wanted the money so bad.. They would have called by now demanding for it..
.

Rebecca ➡ Yes… After all, 500.million is a lot of bread 🍞.
.

Aunt Nicole ➡ I’m really confused now.. What do you suggest we do?
.

Carol ➡ We hired international agents to find her and bring her back.
.

Andrew ➡ How in the world are we going find her in Kenya!?? How can we possibly find information about her where about?
.

Carol ➡ Money.. Uncle Andrew! With money and the right price.. Anything is possible! and Money is what we have in abundance.
.

Michael ➡ I like the way you think cousin… It seems your African blood is useful after all.
.

Carol ➡ Watch your mouth, Michael.. I won’t tolerate any rude remarks about my African half from you.
.

Andrew ➡ So who are we going to hire to go to Kenya?
.

In that moment, Dave who had been listening carefully, stands up and volunteers to go to Kenya.
.

Dave ➡ I’ll go to Kenya.. I’ll go rescue Lisa.
.

Michael ➡ Who’s this bugger!? Who are you?
.

Andrew ➡ Dave!? Not you.. I can’t let you go to that barbaric place… We’ll find someone!!
.

Dave ➡ Don’t worry sir… In fact I’ve been to Kenya before and I have some friends there and contacts…. Lisa is my girlfriend and i love her.. I was agitated when I heard she was kidnapped… I can’t sit here, while she’s trapped in Kenya… Only God knows what condition she’s in. Please.. Let me go bring her back!
.

Andrew ➡ Are you sure about this!? I don’t want anything to happen to you.
.

Dave ➡ Don’t worry sir.. I can handle it.. Your daughter is back before you know it.
.

Andrew ➡ Okay… How much do you need?.. Just say any amount… I want to you to find my daughter and bring her back home safely.. No matter what.
.

Dave ➡ Alright sir…. Just give any amount! It will suffice.
.

Andrew ➡ I’ll wire you 300.million…. Do whatever it takes to bring me back my baby.. Understand?
.

Dave ➡ I won’t let you down sir.. By tomorrow, I’ll be on the next plane to Kenya.
.

Andrew ➡ Good luck my boy!!!
.

Later that Afternoon, Carol and the others meet in Aunt Nicole’s garden talking about Dave’s self volunteering service, Carol and Michael who have been observing Dave as he stated his reasons for volunteering began to suspect the American hunk.
.

Carol ➡ You know what I’ve learnt while running my father’s company back in Nigeria… is that Greed is everywhere and you can’t not trust easily..
There is a saying in Nigeria.. If you want to catch a wolf.. Always throw in the biggest and fattest sheep 🐑.
.

Rebecca ➡ So you’re saying Dave is not to be trusted.
.

Carol ➡ Yes.. It’s strange for one to volunteer for such a dangerous task!! There’s something fishy about that guy!
.

Michael ➡ I agree.. I bet he’s wrapped up in this as well… Can you believe the what he said!? He was agitated when he heard Lisa was kidnapped.. I asked Gwen and she said, he didn’t react!
.

Lizzy ➡ Well.. We can’t accuse him of anything yet!… Besides what if he’s innocent.
.

Ted ➡ Sis! I doubt it.. There’s a lot of money involved in this issue… I say we do a little digging about our American friend.
.

Rebecca ➡ Don’t worry.. I’ll handle it.. I have contacts in the federal bureau and criminal underworld… I’m sure I can find something. For the mean time.. Let’s just wait and see how it all turns out.
