TEGA (CONT'D) (in contempt)

See stupid question.

 

KUNLE (hisses)

 

How will DPO put us here? (slaps his hand)

See how mosquitoes are feasting on me.

(grumbles)

 

And this will happen until that Uche of a man is caught.

 

TEGA

 

Na that one dey pain me pass. (re: Femi)

 

Every time oga go dey treat am better, dey roast me on top fire.

 

Tega angrily grips the three red ‘V’s on his right sleeve with his left hand.

 

TEGA (CONT’D)

 

No be the same Sergeant we be?

 

Kunle is looking away from Tega, with his attention wrapped around something different.

 

 

INT. BEDROOM, FEMI’S APARTMENT - SAME TIME

 

Femi is standing in front of the only window of his bedroom, SERIOUSLY gazing at the Police patrol van parked outside. The room curtain has been pushed aside, revealing all four edges of the window. From where Femi stands, the interior of the van is so black, he sees nothing.

 

He is on nothing but a black BODY-FITTED boxer, revealing his WELL-BUILT muscles and good skin. The body lotion that greases his body, reflects the white fluorescent light streaming from above. A neat Police Sergeant uniform is hanging from a nail drilled into the wall.

 

The bed is neatly dressed with a clean blue bed-sheet, and a pillow, which suggests it was made for one person. On the red rug of the room, few inches shy from the bed, lies a neatly folded white bed-sheet on top of a fluffy pillow, which means the pair will be sleeping separately tonight.

 

Femi turns around as he hears the door of the room swing open. Chioma appears in a white thick towel tied around her, from above her breasts. Her artificial hair takes refuge under a TRANSPARENT shower cap. Even with a washed-up makeup-free face, Chioma’s beauty radiates and penetrates every inch of the TASTELESSLY furnished room.
