END OF FLASHBACK

 

CUT BACK TO:

 

 

INT. THE LIVING ROOM, UCHE’S APARTMENT - CONTINUOUS

 

Femi is sitting on the couch, with Chioma sitting beside him. Kunle is resting his back against the wall behind the couch, standing beside Femi, while Tega is standing at the middle of the living room, still staring at Uche’s photo hanging on the wall.

 

FEMI

 

He said his name is Ikenna. I should have asked him for identification. I usually ask for these things. He just looked too innocent to me.

 

TEGA (to Femi)
