...PLAY...
Ahmed was born as a twin at Room Nine in the fourth floor
of the Jason Memorial Hospital, Ikeja. His mother had passed out after his birth, giving Dr. Simon the ample opportunity to carry out his plan.
8months ago, a convoy of 4 black SUV's parked on a dirty track close to the Mainland Bridge. A lady in her late forties, clad in a black satin Mandy Dress, a pair of black Prada wedge, a heavy makeup that disguised her face and a black head cover walked down the Mainland Bridge with Dr. Simon on Navy Blue Paul Smith polo, black Camsi denim and a black Angelo Jude sneakers. Both walked side by side, as they were locked in a serious discussion.

Both walked side by side, as they were locked in a serious discussion.
"I still don't get why you decided we meet at the
bridge, you could have chosen my office or yours" Simon asked, a bit
perplexed.
The lady adjusted her head cover, allowing Simon to catch

"I chose here because of the degree of what we are
about to discuss" Simon was cut of his thoughts, and he allowed it trail, and paid attention to what the lady had to say.
The lady smiled in satisfaction, as she had successfully
built the suspense, and watching the effects on Simon gave her the urge to do more. She could see the goose pimples on the doctor's skin, and the restlessness on his face, even out in the cold weather, he was sweating profusely.
Gradually, her smiled twine into a stern, expressionless
look. She was ready to start the discussion that had kept her awake and standing out on the bridge under the heavy night cold, instead of lying in the comfort of the canopy bed in her mansion at Banana Island.
"Dr. Simon Owoseni" she said with sarcasm, "I am surprised you haven't
changed your identity, I thought it would be hard to find you" she chuckled "but in the global village which the world has become, you were just like a grammatical blunder in a sentence, very easy to find"
The Doctor was not certain, as to the point the lady was
driving at, but he hoped she wasn't about tying him to the past he has been running away from. He hated the lady, because she knew a secret that could cost him everything he had worked had to build.
"I called you out here because...
