Whenever Adrian heard the sound of a vehicle, he would run like someone chased by a crazy dog to check who the passengers and driver were. That has been his routine since the day the white men left Lagelu. He would run to check any vehicle that comes to the village may be Mike and Henry had come to take him to England. After discovering they had not been the one, he would return back home wearily, in great disappointments.
It came to a time; he and Adebayo had started losing hope in their promise. It was four months they left the village and they hadn’t been hearing anything from them at all. What had kept the white men away since all this while? Could they had thought he’s unworthy of the offer and changed their minds? Many negative thoughts were running through Adrian’s mind.
