When Johnny stayed in the motel, he spent the whole night thinking: "What have I gotten myself into? Heee yeah" without even realizing it, Johnny called out to the all-powerful, the creator of all creation, and prayed with tears in his eyes, with big drops of sweat on his forehead: "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name..." Suddenly, he heard a noise... "Knock knock". Johnny was so scared that he bit his lower lip until it bled... He realized it was already daytime and the time he had in the room had passed. Johnny finished his prayer calmly. After the prayer, Johnny felt like he had some energy, some strength, some hope. He regained his calm and decided to trust in the all-powerful.
After showering and relaxing, Johnny decided to leave the room. But... "God doesn't abandon his children, ahuii, I have faith, even yeah" he said to himself. "Okay, I'm going to go see those two useless people. We need to leave everything, we're going to Guisesse's place, he'll handle the rest." "Ahuii and the key ???" "Heeeee yeah, it's gotta be, hienn, hannhann yeah." "What am I going to tell the guy, puff?" Johnny knocked on the door with all his might for the man at the reception to come to him. He waited for more than 10 minutes and knocked again. The man came to the door with a surprised look: "Ahuii, what's going on there?" he said as he came. "Yes yes, little one, what's wrong again?" said the man at the reception. "Old man, I lost the key yesterday, I need science, I know you have another key. I'll give you 5000 science", in local Ivorian language. "Ahuii, little one, ahhann, yeah, little one, you're weird, hienn, don't worry, I'll open for you." "Thanks, old man", replied Johnny.
When Johnny left the motel, he took a taxi straight to Roxane's place to try to convince her, knowing she would be the hardest to convince. He wanted to start with her, but oh well.
"Hey, Roxane, I'm outside your place", he sent a message. "Click" (notification sound). "Ahh, okay, I'm coming, I was going to call you anyway", replied Roxane.
Then Roxane came out, and they went to a fancy restaurant to talk. Johnny, no longer affected by the events, was relaxed and smiling. He started teasing his friend.
"Humm, you didn't play with those tattoos, deh yeah", said Johnny.
"Ahuii, fhum", replied Roxane with a slight smile, looking away.
She looked elsewhere, but her glasses were looking at Johnny, deep in his eyes, from the side, while smiling.
"Yaaaaaa, I think DJ was with you today", he added.
Roxane replied: "I don't like it, hienn, like, for us, it's eating? Tchrrrr."
Johnny continued to laugh, looking towards the cash register. And then, he saw a man who had the same posture as the man his grandmother was talking to. Johnny's mouth dropped open!
Johnny was frozen in place for more than 5 minutes to 10 minutes. Johnny relived the scene from last night in a loop. The voices repeated in his head to the point that his friend next to him on her phone noticed that Johnny wasn't talking anymore. When she looked up, she saw Johnny's gaze and turned around to see what had caught his attention, but there was nothing. She found it strange, but Johnny's mouth was still open, and he was sweating profusely.
Johnny's heart was racing "gbou gbou gbou". His face was incomprehensible, his eyes wide open, and his lenses tiny. His forehead was dark, and his afro was wet. Poor Johnny!
"Titi Titi ti.....ti" with a tone of anger, Roxane exclaimed. Everyone was drawn to her scream. The scream brought Johnny back to reality.
When he realized it was just a mirage, he grabbed his head and his hair. "Yeah! Barber! Tchiee", said Johnny softly, looking down, forehead against the table. "Pko", the sound of his forehead hitting the table.
"Roxane, we need to talk!" he said.
"Yes yes, I'm in agreement, ahuii, what's wrong?" Johnny replied: "You know... First, the money, do you still have some?"
"Yes yes", she replied.
"Thank God, actually, I wanted us to stop looking for it in that way", with a serious face and a hard voice.
"There are many things I haven't told you", he added.
"Orrrrr, stop it, Johnny, leave it alone! Ahuii and... Wait, you think that when you make that face, it'll affect me? Ahuii, wait, I'll call DJ even!!"
With a mocking face, Johnny tried to make her understand that it was a better idea without going into details, but his friend wouldn't listen. She threatened him.
"If you don't stop the things, we'll go get the coffin to keep it like that... Isn't that what things are like at your place? Ok?"
"But wait, I just want to make you understand that if we go there, imagine you're in the coffin and you're the one who needs to be hit to get money, how would you feel?" Johnny added.
"Ohhh, it's not the same thing! Oh, ahuii, what's wrong with you?" replied Roxane.
"Keeeeeeesiiiaaaa", was the sound of DJ's arrival with a bright smile, wearing two to four chains around his neck. That day, he was dressed like Lil Wayne for real.
"What's going on here? Guys, why is Johnny serious, cohannn?" pretending to close his eyes and pouting...
"You, I'm watching you", he didn't take his eyes off Johnny until he sat down in the chair across from Johnny...
"Hinhinnnnn", Roxane exclaimed. "Look at what quality is saying this morning... Ko, we just have to stop looking for our money, finding it the hard way!!..."
"Hon Hon Hon, he can't say that, him too? Ahuii, man?" replied DJ, shaking his head from left to right.
"But DJ, don't you think it's weird, please, make an effort, look? You still have a lot, don't you?" "So let's forget about the guy, please, friends."
"Okay, give me one good reason, if you can convince me, I'll drop it, but if not, you'll give us the coffin, Roxane and I will handle it, you're out, got it?" said Johnny with a demonic laugh.
In reality, DJ's real intention was to take the coffin from Johnny from the start... And there, he had a genius idea to get it.
So Johnny asked them to leave the restaurant because it was too noisy, and the subject was really sensitive. He followed them without saying a word. They moved to a quiet place. Once there, Johnny explained everything from the beginning to the follow-up he did to follow his grandmother. And at the end of the explanation, in the quiet corner, for a moment, Roxane and her friend widened their eyes and remained silent...
And an unexpected reaction emerged.
"Yaaaaaa, gagagagagagagaga, yeah, Johnny, you're bad, hiennn, ahhann, you too, ahhh", DJ exclaimed.
"Tell us you don't want us to come get the dje!!" he added.
So they decided to go get the coffin. Johnny tried to stop them, but Roxane pretended to withdraw while Johnny was a little distracted. Roxane hit him with a brick. Johnny fell to the ground, blood flowing from the back of his head, a coagulated red.
"Orrrrr, you talk too much, ya quoi? Tchèeee", Roxane added.
"Ahuii, what's wrong with you, Roxane, ahuii", DJ shouted. "But wait! I don't want to go to prison", DJ replied. "Look, he's bleeding! Roxane, you've gone too far", "Eheee, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Are you with me or not", said Roxane with a stern face, a furrowed brow, and a bright smile.
"Yes yes, but put the brick down, where?"
"But what do we do with him? We need to take him to the hospital."
"Hurry up! Let's go get the coffin."
The flip side of the coin was cruel to this young man. What will happen to Johnny? Will he die? Or will he be rescued by someone? To be continued.
