The country flags of Nigeria, United States, and United Kingdom are flying gracefully before the building.

 

 

INT. HOTEL ROOM, CARAT-24 HOTEL - CONTINUOUS

 

Close on the floor with clothes and underwear littered all over. Tega’s legs hit the floor from the bed. He picks his uniform and dresses up NICELY before a mirror hanging on the wall.

 

We see who he is with: a pretty lady, late-20s, covering her nakedness with a WHITE bed-sheet.

 

T.V. NEWSCASTER (O.S.) (voice from the T.V.)

 

There was a motor accident along Lekki-Epe Expressway last night. According to the Police, it was intentional. The couple were heatedly arguing...

 

Now we see the television set, hanging on the wall, 33-inches wide. The T.V. Newscaster is a young good-looking lady, wearing a smile, an eye-glass, and a black blazer. Behind her is a fancy BLUE backdrop and words to her right that reads: “NEWS AT FOUR”.

 

T.V. NEWSCASTER (CONT’D)

 

...when the driver stirred the vehicle off the road and rammed it through the walls of a nearby building. We are yet to receive news if they survived or not. And that’s all we have for you at the News at Four.

 

Sounds from the television become indistinct.

 

PRETTY LADY

 

Baby, is this the accident you were telling me about?

 

TEGA

 

Yes oh!

INT. ROOM 7, WING C, ST. NICHOLAS HOSPITAL - CONTINUOUS

 

Close on the paper, now in Chioma’s hands, which reads: “Let’s meet at Exquisite in about half an hour.”. She pulls her eyes from the paper and looks at Femi.

 

CHIOMA

This is not me.
