Episode 5; By Adedeji Abayomi

By the next day me and France were giving nothing to eat and me and John collected 300 buns, I told John the plan and he agreed. We sold everything walking and hawking together after selling it, we drop the bucket not facing back and we started to run then Tunji and Kenga saw us they were chasing us but they can't out run us. We ran until we lost them out of sight, we reached a third bus stop and John saw a bus.

''John wait for me'' I said as he entered the bus.

''You can't follow me am going back to Ogun but you are a Lagos child just board a Bus going to Lagos'' John said.

''But I don't know where to go'' I said crying as I waved at him because the bus was already moving.

''Bye, Bye'' John waved at me back as I start crying.

After 6 minutes, I saw Kenga and Tunji again on a Power bike they were riding fast, I kept running and they keep on pursuing me, I saw a bus stop full of different cars that resemble themselves and I hid in one bus.

''[looking at the bus I hid in, and I was breathing heavily] He no dey here oh make we go'' Kenga said. As the car I was in started moving fast and I couldn't come down and I slept off.

''[Tapping me] Hez who you be'' The Bus Driver asked me.

''[rubbing my eye's] Sorry oh they are chasing me oh that's why I hide here'' I said as the man dragged me out of the bus.

''Go away'' The Bus Driver told me.

As I stepped out It was dark and the bus drove off.
