episode 2

(At mid-night) Baba stand up with his matchet and calabash, getting ready to work, he came to the room where the guests are stationed, feeling happy and lucky, he was about to open the door when he heard a fierce argument going on, the charm is using the voice of the three brothers to speak like “that food is not good at all, even the palm wine is too sour, the meat is too sour”, he was scared and went back to sleep.

The second morning, he got up earlier than usual and wait for the boys in the parlor and as they enter he said to them with a frown said “my sons, am very pissed with you, if you did not like the food provided for you then you should have dared to ask”. The boys, sensing the effectiveness of the charm did not deny it and just apologize for their behavior which the charm makes it look like and they went on with their day.

That night Baba went to borrow money in order to satisfy the boys and bought some sleeping medicine as well, so the wife prepared a delicious fried rice and chicken with some chill orange juice, and the sleeping medicine was added in excess to their orange juice, they said thanks after eating and went to sleep, and this time the second brother went ahead to put his charm on the door post. Baba on the other hand was feeling fulfilled and satisfied that he has feed them to their fullest and if not the sleeping medicine will be in action to see him through his plot, so he grabbed his matchet and calabash and headed for the guests room, but has he was about to open the door the charm start using the three boys voices again to shout “that food is not even delicious, no salt, no nothing, it’s just there and we have no choice than to eat it, damn I hate it here, I can’t wait for wait for us to leave here as soon as possible…”. Baba was shocked and ran back to his room with the thought of “how come, why will the sleeping medicine not work? Why will they not enjoy that delicious meal?” “But I will never give up” he thought to himself as he went to sleep thinking on what he would do next.

As the day break, the three boys enter the living room just to find Baba was there already waiting for them and before they could say a word He interrupted them and say “this is not the first I’m asking you to have the gut to complain if you don’t like something, no need to start shouting with complain once you enter your room”. They apologize once again and promise it won’t happen again so they went on with the day as normal as it could be by helping in the garden and helping Baba to grind some herbs and before they know it, night is upon them again and as usual they have another super delicious meal for dinner. Now the three boys are feeling nervous because they know that night maybe the turning point in their life if things work out the way they planned and if the last charm is a fake then they know they are dead meat that night. So they remind the James not to forget to put his charm before going to sleep as he should put it there himself.

But the drug had an instant effect on Joseph and Stanley because they passed out almost as they lie down and Joseph use the last strength in him to try and put hang the charm, and he was alarmed, shocked and confuse because he is a short person and his hand to did not reach the door post, there is nothing around to stand on and the sleeping drug was already having effect on him, all effort to wake the brothers and tell them the situation prove abortive. So he went to Baba wife room where the door post was shorter hang the charm there and left for his room with the thought of “we are really dead today, see how I kill my brothers and I can’t run away and leave them behind, if we are to die then we must die together” so he lie down to sleep.

It was in the mid night again that Baba stand up to go on with his plot and this time thinking to himself even if they are awake then I’m going to have to overpower them because they will leave early in the morning and I can’t afford to lose this three heads so he carry his matchet and his calabash as usual then proceed to their room but as he was about to open the door, the charm started to use the wife’s voice and shout “you want to kill those boys right, I won’t let you do such a silly thing, neighbors please come and help this boys because my husband want to kill them” the husband was shocked and went to his wife room and said why are you shouting? Keep quiet or I will make your head the fourth one but the wife who was deep in sleep could not understand a thing and said “when did I shout? Are you dreaming? Are you normal?” then Baba said just keep quiet if you don’t want to die so he slammed the door and left for the boys’ room again and as he was about to open, the charm start using the wife’s voice again “you think you can threatening me right? I won’t let you kill those children no matter what, neighbors he want to kill the children” “that’s it” Baba thought to himself I’m going to kill this bitch today, so he went to her wife room and killed her instantly and went back for the room but as he was about to open up the charm start again “so you think because you've killed me I won’t say anything right? I won’t let you kill these innocent boys no matter what happens, neighbors where are you the useless man wants to kill this boys please don’t let him” this time Baba was pissed to the highest level and in annoyance went into his wife room cut his wife dead body into pieces, put it in a sac and went ahead in burying her, except her head, so satisfy with himself, he went on again on his plot, and as he was about to open the door, the charm start using the wife voice to shout again, “killer, killer, don’t kill those boys as you killed me, neighbors, we have a killer in the house” in annoyance and frustration, He retired to his room and awaited sun rise.
