The door opened automatically for the two guys that carried Akeem, entering into the house and the other guys too entered with them and walking behind them.

The guy that Akeem borrowed money from was in the living room, sitting on the chair with his legs crossed, drinking wine and watching news. The boys had been going to their secret room when they met him at the living room.

"Good afternoon Sir!" all of them greeted him respect, drooped Akeem on the floor and standing at the front of the guy.

"We have brought him to you Sir!" The head of the boys said; the drug dealer separated his legs with a small glass cup in his right hand and looking at Akeem with a look for few minutes.

"You think you came here, borrowed my money and ran away. You let me to be looking for you around and turned yourself to a bird that is flying around, think that nobody could catch it. You have forget who I am!" The guy said with loud voice.

"No! I am not running, it's how to gather the money that I am trying to do-----"Akeem talking.

"Shut up! Shut up!! If I am talking you will keep quiet, how dare you!" Poured the wine on Akeem, Akeem closed his eye for some seconds and for the wine to dry off, his hands had been tired to the back so he was unable to warp the wine from his face.

"Still want to be justifying your actions. When you came to borrow the money, I gave you a duration of time that my money should be refunded and asked you if you are okay with it. What did you said? YES, so why is it difficult for you to refund my money when you know that I don't joke with money" He said with loud voice.

"Are you with my money now? Or ready to die? And even the death will come after you have work hard for me and I have get my money back" He put the glass cup on the stool beside him and pouring another wine inside it.

"Are you deaf or you are mad? I said are you with my money now?" He asked as he finished pouring the wine and face him with anger.

"Yes Sir! I am with your money now" Akeem replied with low voice.

"Huu! I have thought that you have choose to die. Well! Get me the laptop" He said with smile and one of his boy left the room.

He got there back after few minutes, gave the laptop to the guy and stepped back. The guy put the laptop on his laps, opened it and operating it. After few minutes, he put the laptop on the table and passed it to Akeem.

"Transfer my money, my two million naira. There should not be any addition or subtraction, nobody is asking for interest from you" He said with low voice.

"As you said Sir!" Akeem said as one of the boy was losing the rope that the used to tie his hands together; he removed the rope and Akeem started operating the laptop.

The guy was drinking the wine and looking at him.

"Done Sir!" Akeem said with low voice and moved the laptop to him; the guy carried the laptop on the table and looking at Akeem with a look.

"Guys! Take him to the 'Blood Room' go and discipline me still you hear my order that you should stop, and this is for paying my money late"

"Take him away!" The two guys held Akeem's hands and taking him away from the living room. The guy crossed his leg back and continued watching the news.

One hour later. The guy took his phone beside him, pressed it and making a phone call.

"It enough! Dress for him and return him back to where you took him from" He said and hanged up.

The guy that picked the call passed the message to their boss and they started dressing for Akeem; they had beat him messily that his body had swollen up and there was blood on some his part of the body. Akeem was just looking and he had weak, two guys raised him up and taking him out from the room.

They got down to the backyard of the mansion, passed at a corner there and got to the front. The driver opened the back door for them, the pushed Akeem inside and two of them entered with him including the driver.

TJ was in the bedroom sitting on the bed, and put his head on his laps. He got up after few minutes, walking round the house, thinking and he had been disturbed. He was so worried about Akeem despite that he had sent a message to him that he had got the money and he would be fine but still he was still worried.

"What did those drug dealer want again, he text me that Semirat's boyfriend and his friend gave him the money but now he should had been back. After paying your money want again"

"Those drug dealer are deadly, he may still want to kill him. No! Akeem won't die" Different thinking were coming to his mind and rejecting the negative thoughts.

Akeem dragged himself to the entrance of the house as he manage to get down from the bike and knocking at the door; he had weak just trying to be strong and as a man that he was.

"TJ! TJ!! Teejani! Teejani!!" Calling his friend with loud voice and knocking at the door.

"Teejani! I am back, Teejani!" TJ stopped thinking and listening careful as he was hearing his name.

"Akeem is back, that it's his voice!" He ran out from the room like a mad man and ran to the entrance door.

"Oh! My God, did they beat you!" He said with loud voice as he saw blood all over his body and the white shit that he wore had turned to red; Akeem was just holding the door and looking.

"Just come inside, thank you are back alive" As TJ held him, he fell on his hand and breathe slowly.

"Sorry! Sorry!" TJ tired and carried him inside, he laid him on the chair and went back to close the door. He quickly ran to the kitchen, came out after few minute with bottle water and some medicine.

"Please! Take this medicine now and for pain as well. Try and do that" Put them in his hand, Akeem used the medicine and drank little from the water. TJ collected the water and covered it, sitting on the table and facing him.

"Let me get you something to eat!" Akeem did a sign with his hand and telling not to brother.

"Later! Okay no problem, just happy that you are back and everything is solved now" TJ said with low voice and Akeem looking at him.

"When you are ready to eat let me know and rest very well. When you are fine tomorrow, we really have to talk as brothers. I want all this issue to end before I pass some senses into you, this is why you left me but now I don't care if you leave again, I will talk to you and tell you the truth" Tj got up and sat down on another chair.

"Tomorrow! We will talk!" TJ said with loud voice and looking at him.
