(bows his head before the DPO)
Thank you, sir!
AYAKPAT
By the way, where’s Chioma?
FEMI
She’s in the INCIDENT ROOM.
AYAKPAT
That woman shouldn’t be felt alone for one minute. Uche is still out there and he could be watching her every move. You shouldn’t let her out of your sight even for a second.
FEMI (at attention)
Yes, sir!
AYAKPAT
She should stay at your house until we arrest that man.
(in Pidgin English)
She be fine girl. You be fine boy. Una fit run show. Femo, femo!
The pair burst out in an UNCONTROLLED laughter.
INT. INCIDENT ROOM, NIGERIA POLICE STATION - SAME TIME
Tega and Kunle are BEHIND the counter, with Kunle flirting with Chioma, and Tega CALMLY whistling Korede Bello’s ‘God Win’ song. Chioma is seated on a white plastic chair few inches before the counter, smiling as Kunle’s words stream into her ears.
KUNLE (to Chioma)
Do you know that you’re a very fine girl? And also a very intelligent girl for that matter.
(pauses for a while)
I want you to be my girlfriend.
Chioma is laughing, not staring at Kunle, but at the main entrance of the building leading to the INCIDENT ROOM.
TEGA
(to Kunle; vexed)

Common Corporal like you. (MORE)
