Elsa
I walked into the house yawing wi-dely and same time trying to keep my eyes open
gosh!
I felt so tired and sleepy, not after running around the whole town with sir Xavier
“good evening mum!” I greeted mum immediately my foot landed on the sitting room
it’s petty late alre-ady, how come mum and dad are still awake by this time!
where they waiting for me or something?
“evening Elsa, come sit!” mum said taping the side of the sofa where she had sat, motioning for me to come sit close to her
“good evening dad!” I greeted dad whose eyes was fixed on the newspaper he covered his face with
“where have you been Elsa?” dad asked ignoring my greetings
“come on Simeon!!
let her get a rest first!” mum ch!pped in rolling her eyes at dad and he kept mute fixing his eyes back on his news paper
yippe!
dad can be over bearing at times
but what’s with mum and dad?
perhaps they wanna give me the usual interview question today again!
“mum !” I called and she hushed me, picking up the torch light
“come with me Elsa!
let’s go dish out dinner!” mum said and I frowned
“what dinner mum?
there was nothing left in the house when I had left the house this morning, how come your able to get something for dinner?
how?” I asked and mum let out a smile
“come on Elsa!
st©p being myopic like your father and move to the kitchen” she said and I threw her a puzzled look
“seriously mum!
am not finding this suspense funny at all
I nee-d a satisfactory explanation” I said moving towards the kitchen which was a bit far from dads hearing
“can you tell me all I nee-d to know mum!” I asked whispering into her ears with my eyes fixed on dad to see if there’s any sign of him eavesdropping on our conversation
“there’s nothing you nee-d to know honey!
your dad will do the talking!” she said and I frowned
“why all this suspense mum!
why don’t you just spill it out
your beginning to hide things from me mum and it isn’t fair
am your only child mum and you nee-d to st©p being secretive around me” I rasp and mum gave me a mocking cl@p
“I should st©p being secretive around you!
same way you have to st©p being secretive around me
am your only mother remember” she said obviously mimicking the tone of my words
“am not being secretive around you mum!” I hate surprise and you know it!’ I restrain myself from yelling
“your not being secretive around me?
yet you go out day in and day out without a reasonable explanation of your whereabouts
you know what?
am really gonna trail you down to where ever your taking those bulging as-s of yours to, for all I know my daughter can never be a str!pper!” mum said and I couldn’t even smile or frown
“being a str!pper is way out of my league
and mum!
don’t even think of stalking me cause we’ve got big wolfs as dogs in our compound” I Lied taking myl-ips into my mouth
“our compound?
nice one!
which compound are you talking about Elsa” mum said and I sl@pped myself inwardly
“hmm..em..the dogs in our gambling…em”
“you still pl@ygambles?
I thought I warned you against that?” mum rasp and I itch my n£¢k restlessly
“you know what mum!
let’s forget about it” I said and she frowned
“dinner is burning mum!” I said and the smelt of burning dinner flooded my nostrils
“I won’t go in there and checkup on that dinner un-der you spill out whatever your suppose to tell me” mum said and I frowned
“you just said what?”dad asked pu-lling off his re-ading glas-s and the newspaper he had seems to be flying on the air at that instant
“oh! no
yeah!
I wanna go check up on it” mum gibbered pu-lling me along to the kitchen
dad just saved me
he’s my hero tonight!
hold on, was he races dropping on us in the first place?

“mum! dad!
I wanna have a word with the both of you ” I said wiping my hands on a kitchen napkin after doing the dishes
while mum la-id her head on dads th!gh where they sat on a sofa
“what’s wrong homey?” mum asked with a worried look on her face
“Elsa what’s wrong?” dad asked
“dad! mum!
you know i love you both so much cause your all have gat” I started and mum looked super worried
“speak up Elsa!
your ma-king me worried” mum said and I took in a de-ep breath
“mum! dad!
who’s Audrey?
I mean, do you know anyb©dy with the name Audrey?” I asked and mum and dad glanced at each other
then much to my surprise, mum bust into a derogating laughter
“mum!” I called amused
“am sorry honey!
The name kinda reminds me of the midwife that birth you back then in the local clinic
she’s more than a clown perhaps a comedian” mum said and dad cracked
“yeah!
but she’s late alre-ady
she’s adrain and not Audrey” dad said and mum nodded
“yeah! it’s been long though
it skipped me” mum said getting a hold of her laughter
“where did you come across that name Elsa?” dad asked
“perhaps she c@m£ across the midwife ghost and she told her, her name was Audrey” mum remarked chuckling while dad cracked again
“whatever dad!
am getting tired and sleepy alre-ady
goodnight dad! goodnight mum!” I yawned walking off to my room
“Elsa don’t you wanna know where we got the dinner from?” mum asked smiling sheepishly while dad has a sm-irk on his face
“nope mum!
let it wait till morning” I said itching my sleepy eyes
“daddy has got a job!!!” mum screamed clasping her hands together and all the sleep in my eyes seems to have dissolved instantly
“mum are you for real?” I asked and mum nodded
“he got it yesterday but we decided to keep it till today before we tell you cause you often come home late”mum said and I jumped on dad happily
“congratulations dad!”I screamed jumping on him
“get off me!
your adding more weight!” dad tea-sed hvgging me to himself
“what sort of Job is it dad?
who are you working for and how’s the pay?” I asked in one rush
“it’s actually the post of a gateman and I got it
Ma Madison and her son are quite tolerating and un-derstanding and the pay is hvge” dad said and I nodded while he pe-cked my cheeks
“go to be-d princess
its past be-dtime alre-ady” dad said and I nodded going off to my room
I got on my be-d
no shower today am tired and exhausted
I feel so happy for dad
finally he has gotten a good job, with a hvge pay
hold on, did he just said ma Madison and her son?
like, he’s working for Mrs Madison?

what the hell !!
Episode 28
Samuel
“life isn’t only gonna be sweet, it will become so perfect once have got all I had lost to Mrs Orlando and her son” mum said sipping from a glas-s of wine, same time walking down the stairs with her hands on her long go-wn, holding it up her kneel so she won’t step on it and probably fall off the stairs
“good morning mum!” I greeted while she walked closer to me, pe-cking me on my cheeks
“what’s with this smiling face mum?
I asked and she sat on a couch opposite me with her legs on a stool while the wine glas-s sat comfortably in her hands
“Samuel have changed plans” mum said and I frowned
what’s with this attitude of hers?
changing plans all the time!
first, she had wanted to get some goons who would shoot at Xavier, leaving him dead
then abduct his mother and torture her till she open up and sign the deal over to us
then she suddenly changed plans on seeing that Elsa of a girl
she changed the whole well arranged plans we had scheme re-ady to execute, giving the job to some pretty face skinny bit-ch, to get Xavier’s signature
who in God’s name does that?
when the sight of Xavier’s signature alone is enough to confuse a confused man
only heavens knows how he c@m£ about thatfu-cking signature
it’s more like an ancient Greek writeup or something
I just pray mum don’t end up regretting ever changing her plans cause with the way she’s going, I pray she doesn’t stumble and fall
“guess it out Samuel!” mum said smiling satisfactory to herself
“whatever!”I snapped at her, turning my gaze to the TV which has been talking to itself a while ago
“the new gatekeeper we got for the job yesterday is Elsa’s dad”mum said and I felt a loud ban-g in my head
“mum!” I called in shock and she let out a smile
“what in God’s name do you think your doing mum?
do you wanna let out our little secret to the world?
mum!!” I called in an angry tone and she took another sip from her wine glas-s
“relax Samuel!
am on t©p of it and by the time i am done with them, they will not only crawl on their kneels begging me!
they will also mourn the death of those close to them” mum said and i scoffed
what the hell !!
I never knew mum was this ins-en-sitive and dumb
what did she think she’s doing and how in heavens name did shefu-cking c@m£ across Elsa’s dad??
“mum!” I called and she pop up her head at me
“start talking..” I said more like an order and she smiled again
holy heavens!!
what’s wrong with mum?
why’s she being all happy and slight proud like she has the world on her shoulders alre-ady???
what the hell
“You know what Samuel!
I aren’t gonna disclose it all to you cause….”
“mum!!” I called interpolating into whatever trash she wanna spill out from her mouth
“let me finish son!” mum said and I kept mute,gulping ha-rd
“you know what mum!
if your tired and really don’t nee-d my as-sistant again, I will advice you to just spill it out mum!” I rasp rolling my eyes into space
“let me finish Samuel!
don’t say what you know nothing about!” mum said giving me a ha-rd glare
“what have you been observing from Elsa of recent?” mum asked and I sh0t her a stare
“what where you expecting me to observe from her in the first place?” I asked furrowing my brows at her
“well, from my own observation,
she’s been acting clueless , possum and uninterested in the job lately and from my instincts, I feel she isn’t gonna do a perfect job” mum said and I restrain the urge to bur-st into laughter
can’t believed this is actually coming from her
wasn’t she the one who raised up my hopes saying she’s gonna do a neat and clean job?
perhaps if she had let me handle it the way I ought to, Mrs Orlando and her precious son would have been six feet de-ep into the ground while mum would have been running the company with me, shuttling between united kingdom, Europe, Canada with so many bulging as-s ladies who would crawl up my be-d all night, m0@n ing my name loud enough to pu-ll off the roof but hell no!-am stuck here with mum, still trying so ha-rd to get hisfu-cking signature
whereas we would have been dinning with kings and queens
so many ladies would be begging for my autogra-ph and I will make sure they m0@n out my name before getting it
$h!t!
mum is just a kill joy
she kept on smiling to herself and at intervals she would get on her feet and pace to and fro in the living room before sitting her as-s back on the couch
what the hell is her problem?
“how do her father comes in mum?” I asked and she smiled stamping her left foot on the floor excitedly
“am gonna use her father to get back at Elsa if she fails the Job” she said
“how’s that gonna be possible mum?
her dad won’t wanna hurt her” I says and she chuckled
“do you think i will let them know about it?
it will be more like a set up”she said and i stared at her nonplus
is this really mum?
she’s becoming terrible every pas-sing day
“and what if she fails and you’ve hunt her down, how then are we gonna get his signature?” I asked getting confused
“we will have to take up your plans but for now, I nee-d to pay Mrs Orlando a visit!” she said and I frowned
is this lady being serious?
“what for mum?” I asked in surprise
“I nee-d to eye search for someone or perhaps a maid who’s gonna put an eye on Elsa for now and I will nee-d you on that one” mum said and I smiled
woah!
that’s gonna leave me with silky as-ses to scre-w
“how did you c@m£ about Elsa’s dad mum?” I asked and she frowned
“you know, you shouldn’t be asking me certain questions
okay-figure them out with your head
your not too dumb not to know I actually trailed after her and seeing their pathetic state, I offered her jobless father a job knowing it’s gonna be the perfect plan” mum said and I smiled
woah!
such a br@ve attempt
“now go dress up!
we are leaving!” she added
