Hey Steemian, if you are just joining in, please catch up by reading [Sequel -1](https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@tignoga/poisonous-quest-or-sequel-1). --- --- It's been 2 hours since Abong and his friend Nchùâbeh got to Wusâh. To their greatest surprise the city was as busy and buzzy as if everyone just woke up. All sorts of cars🚖🚔🚑🚘🛺🚚 were zooming up and down, flashing their lights everywhere and honking loudly. These made the night look so colorful, making the two friends remember the annual tradition dance festival, the Abinêh-Nfōr which held once every end of the year in the village. https://steemitimages.com/400x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmd18c3xhXeCJmdb3TA2rYLNeEAUvNH2v7LRtHsDfCFcit/White%20Collage%20Flower%20Shop%20Instagram%20Post_20241002_171339_0000.jpg _{Modified on Canva by me} Back in the village at this hour, the doors to every household would be locked, everyone would be fast asleep preparing to hit their farms very early in the morning. All you would see at this hour will be the faint yellow light coming from the kerozen lamps, through the window slits, and no one on the roads except the loud qwarking sound from the toads 🐸 as they prepare to mate. https://steemitimages.com/400x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQhoz2CzgA2WzjtUtcGoiXVFh7jqxQYBz9AHQRhn6zW53/White%20Collage%20Flower%20Shop%20Instagram%20Post_20241002_175402_0000.jpg _{Modified on Canva by me} They managed to find shelter at a car repair garage. Amongst the many cars parked for repairs was a wrecked 16 seater bus that was brought in earlier that day for panel beating. They squeezed themselves into the bus through the open windows and crashed on the back seats for the night. They were both not cetain about what the next day held for them, but were determined to start their search for greener pastures as soon as they woke. It was already 11pm when they fell asleep. Before they knew it, they heard a loud voice saying 🗣"craze people, craze people dey inside this jab", meaning to say there were mad people in the car. This was one of the new apprentices at the garage signaling to his colleagues as they rushed to the scene. It was already 8 am. The night was very brief for Abong and Nchùâbeh since they were very tired and worn from their trekking and trip to the city. They woke up in panic and in confusion😟, and barely understood what was happening. They managed to explain things and how they found themselves there and they all sympathized with them. They got the car keys, opened the doors and brought them out. The garage boys were so understanding that they even shared their breakfast of puff puff and beans with them😋. https://steemitimages.com/400x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZVmdX4PZTCSkYwXPy2WafvnDCxPSPPdpoXCmE9Y12gJ7/White%20Collage%20Flower%20Shop%20Instagram%20Post_20241002_180813_0000.jpg _{Modified on Canva by me} The two friends started feeling comfortable and at home until when they noticed everyone begin to disappear into different corners of the garage. There at the entrance of the garage appeared a middle aged man about 2 meters in hight, athletic build, having a broad frown. He looked as though everything he saw made him angry 😠 Immediately. They heard him say in a husky voice , "na which perika dem dat"? They immediately stood up with their bags clutched to their chests and didn't know what to say. ...**WATCH OUT FOR SEQUEL 3** --- --- Dear steaming Steemians, who do you think this guy is and what is going to happen to the two boys🤷?
