UGO-------your spirit is telling you all is not well, with you I guess?

BRO RUFUS------Excuse me?

UGO-------Excuse you? Because it is very obvious. I keep telling you all is well and you keep asking if it is well. What do you want to hear?

BRO RUFUS---- ~-(looked side ways) I can see you are very stubborn. I know how to deal with stubborn people like you. ( he took out a handkerchief and threw it at his face~ . Ugo threw ~the handkerchief away. He wanted to speak back at Rufus but was loosing consciousness. Rufus walked him to his car) idiot, you want to go and report to pastor~ and spoil business for us.

Martins could not reach ugo. He called the pastor to know if he was at the church, was told he wasn't. A message came into martins phone. The message read thus................

"Pastor must not know about ~Sydney and Esther's involvement in uchechi's case. If you must tell, uchechi sloped and fell when she and Esther were arguing. If you can't say this, you can't say any other thing. U~ go the stubborn fly has followed the corpse to the grave".

MARTINS ---------This is bro Sydney. _Jesus!!! What's this world turning into? How can a child of God be doing this? And what does he mean by ugo the stubborn fly? God what is going on? What has the chur_ ch turned into. Hmm, I know what to do. (He forwarded the message to pastor. Pastor got the message and called the number.

PASTOR------Hello

MARTINS------- Hello sir. Good evening sir.

PASTOR----God bless you. Please I got a message from this number. Please can I know who you are and please explain what this message means.

MARTINS--------sir someone sent that message to me. My name is martins. I was at bro Sydney's house on the day of the incident sir.

PASTOR-----HMMMMMM please tell me, what exactly happened?

Martins narrated all that happened to pastor. H e broke into tears.

PASTOR -------(CRYING) Hmmm, I'm short of words. This is a big scandal. My own daughter? How then can GOd answer when we pray? How then will his presence be with us? When evil and abomination lurks around. (Takes a deep breath) thank you so much son for this. Don't worry I will tackle this with wisdom. You are safe . thanks and God bless.

That evening, pastor collected Esther's phone and asked her to remain in her room till further notice. That same evening, he called bro Sydney to see him at home at once. Sydney came 30mins later.

PASTOR-----Sydney how are you?

SYDNEY----- Daddy I'M fine sir.

PASTOR----Good. Please sit. I will like to know the name of the church you all attended the praise night.

Sydney was just moping like fish head

It is dangerous to cover sin with sin.

SYDNEY developed emergency tongue tie.

SYDNEY-------Emmm, sir, it's LIGHT HOUSE CHRISTIAN CENTRE.

PASTOR-------Light house Christian centre? Hmmm. Where is it located please?

SYDNEY------In my area sir.

PASTOR-------In your area? Hmmm, I see. Bro Sydney, please what's your position in church again?

SYDNEY----- I'm the music director sir.

PASTOR------Alright. Are you also aware of where you are? You are before your pastor and also God's presence?

SYDNEY-----(With a very nasty confidence) yes sir. I'm very much aware.

PASTOR-----Bro Sydney, Are you telling ~the truth? God is giving you this chance to bare it all and come to him again. He is a merciful God. He will wash you and make you his again. There is another opportunity for heaven's mercy. Son, please search your heart, ARE YOU~ TELLING THE TRUTH?

SYDNEY----------- of course daddy. I am telling the truth. We were at light house Christian centre for the praise night sir.

PASTOR--------(smiled) listen to me son, ~the same spirit that worked in the days of ANANIAS & SAPPHIRE still exists even in this present time. Please my son, search your heart, are you sure? Even as I speak to you now, I feel the~ presence of grace, forgiveness and divine mercy. God loves you. Are you telling the truth?

SYDNEY----------(Scared at this point. He thought of his position in church, people who look up to him, and so on) YES SIR, I'm sure.

PASTOR------ OK. It's OK. You can go.

SYDNEY-------- Thank you sir ( he was almost at the door when it struck his mind that pastor might go to his area to ask for the church, he came back) sir, I forgot to tell you that the church has moved from that place to their permanent site.

PASTOR---------Oh really? and where is that?

SYDNEY--------I can't remember sir. In fact that's the reason for the praise night.

PASTOR ------------ hmm, it's OK. God be praised.

Sydney left the pastor's house feeling like a hero.

SYDNEY---------------OMG that was close. I need to call my baby girl. Jeeeez what was the name of that church I called again? Kai, oh God, what is this naaaaa? Name wet ah just call now? Light what again oooooooooooo. Hey!!! Light Christian centre YESSSSSSS

(Instead of light house Christian center. He started calling ESther. Meanwhile, Esther is with her dad and her dad was with her phone.

Esther told her dad that the name of the church is GRACE ASSEMBLY. SYDNEY'S call kept coming in. Pastor picked the call & placed the call on speaker out.

SYDNEY-------Hey baby, how you doing?

ESTHER------(sounding cold) I'm fine.

SYDNEY------You sure?

ESTHER-------Yea.

SYDNEY------- OK. See baby, I was at your place today, your old man called me. Are you aware?

ESTHER----- No I wasn't.

SYDNEY------- OK. In case your old man ask the church we attended the praise night tell him LIGHT CHRISTIAN CENTRE. We will scale through together. Baby are you OK? Why so cold? Where are you? Or do you need me? Can we see tonight? I've missed your touch baby. Baby what naaaa, talk to me. Are you still angry with me about UCHECHI? Hello, hello, ( the call dropped)

Pastor broke into tears. Esther was crying on her knees.
