Uche looks like a man stripped of his pride, which is everything he holds dear. Tears quickly roll down both cheeks.

Uche doesn’t respond.

Femi is by the window. He bends the blind before him, and takes a sneak peek through the gap he created, glancing at the environment of the building. He looks away from the window, lets go of the blind, and stares at Chioma.

EXT. LEKKI-EPE EXPRESSWAY - CONTINUOUS - FLASHBACK
Uche locks the car doors and disables the passengers’ control. He pushes his right feet against the gas pedal completely. We see the readings on the speedometer as the indicator swings from 40 kmph to 120 kmph in just a FEW seconds.
