I hope he’s not dead.
Prisoners laugh. Kunle shortly joins them.
TEGA (O.S.)
Kunle, if Oga ask of me, tell am say I don go join Femi for hospital.
KUNLE
(to Tega)
Okay.
Tega SMARTLY heads out of the station through the exit, while Kunle continues his call.
KUNLE (O.S.) (CONT’D)
Fabian!
BACK TO:
INT. ROOM 7, WING C, ST. NICHOLAS HOSPITAL - CONTINUOUS
Chioma yanks her hand away from Femi’s LOOSE grip.
In an attempt to dodge the embarrassment drifting his way, Femi quickly snakes his hands away from her, straight into his trouser pockets, gets up, and paces towards the doctor, and speaks in hushed tones.
FEMI (re: Chioma)
How’s she doing?
DOCTOR (to Femi)
She is miraculously recovering. Within the next twenty-four hours, with the necessary rest needed, she should be out of here, and back to her normal life.
FEMI (looking worried)
But I need to talk to her right now. To find out what she remembers from last night.
DOCTOR
Sure, go ahead, but don’t push her too hard to remember everything. These things take time. You know, she’s still fragile.
