Story: A Thief In The Church… Part 7

The two security men were startled to their
bones to see Deacon Emeka standing a meter
from them. He had a wide grin on his face with
the kind of posture that one uses when in
between seriousness and unseriousness.
The two security men quickly went on their
knees begging Deacon Emeka not to expose
them, that it was the hand work of the devil,
and that such a thought will never ever cross
their mind again.

” Deacon Emeka abeg no vex, i bin dey my own
jeje dey patrol when this man come begin dey
talk all those talks to me. No be say i wan follow
am do wetin im dey talk. ” The second security
man pleaded.


” na devil come dey stand near dey tell me all
those plenti plenti things. No be sey that
normal mind i take reason am. Na the
handiwork of the devil. ” the first one replied
shaking like a leaf in the hamattan.

Meanwhile Deacon Emeka was just standing
speechless, staring at them like someone that
just arrived Paris and was lost in the splendor of
the atmosphere.
The two kept on confessing their sins before the
Deacon, but unknown to them, the Deacon did
not hear a word of their previous discussion,
and so was lost.
” Is like the two of you were planning
something fishy? ” Deacon Emeka found his
voice at last and looked for a better seat to sit
on. Not finding any seat, He sat on the table in
their mini office.
” no o, we no wan go catch fish. We no be
fishermen. ” the second security man replied in
a hurry.

It took Deacon Emeka all the energy in his
disposal to suppress the laughter that was
fighting its way to his lips.
” that’s not what i meant ” Deacon Emeka
managed to say amist laughter.
” what i mean is that the two are suspects ” He
added.
” we no wan go prison o ” they echoed in
unison.
” then you people will have to tell me what you
people are planning or you will go to prison. ”
Deacon Emeka replied. Even the first Security
man that was thinking he had a stony heart
was beginning to melt like butter under Deacon
Emeka’s threat..
They had no option other than to include
Deacon Emeka in the plans that they were
discussing.
………
” that’s a very good idea ” Deacon Emeka
replied after they were done with their plans.
The two Security men exchanged a glance at
each other with their mouths, eyes, nose open.
The sweat that was coming out of their body
had tripled. They were still to believe what they
just heard.
” you mean say!!! ” they echoed while the rest
remained in their stomach.
They concluded the plan for 8pm which less
than an hour from that time.part of the plans
was stealing the key from the pastor’s office.
When they got to the pastor’s office, they
discovered that the door was open. They went
in and found out that the key to the safe was
not there.
their curiosity led them to check the safe. They
were shock to meet the Pastor packing money
from the safe into a brief case.
Their arrival was a huge shock to the pastor, he
pleaded with them not to tell the Church
members which they agreed on the platform
that all the money in the safe will be share
equally among them.
