Mgeni wa serikali part 3
At the police post
"OB , OB , OB "
Was still ringing in my head, I cudnt believe the charges , eti loitering and causing disturbance in public , it was either 5k each or the following day tupelekewe Thika law courts .
"Pigia MTU wenyu akuje away bail out "
Nikakopa credo and called the only person who could bail us out. The leader of our jaza jaza sacco maina who later came at 6p.m .
Maina came at exactly 6:08 p.m as I remember the Hesse in charge akimwambia nakupa 20 mins by 6:28 uwe umemalizana na hao mugiki.
“Mnaendelea aje wazito” that was Maina asking .
“Wewe unaonaje , can’t u see tuko kwa cell wewe uko outside the cell” timo said before I cut 'em short.
“Sema umekuja kututoa Maish”
“Yah I have come to bail u out give me a min I talk to the officer in the OB desk” . maina
N off he went leaving us in that cell that had all sort of characters , the guys in there looked dangerous kwanza kuna mmoja alijiita onyiii , waaaaah onyii was bracing how he broke his wives both arms after he found out he was carrying a child not his…… gff where the fuck were we ?
In the farthest corner there was a bucket overflowing with feaces n mkojo , the stench was unbearable , ma fresher kama sisi were to sleep near that bucket in the cold floor .
There was this guy inside , well built physic ungethani in john cena , he kept glancing at timo n here singetaka ufafanuzi zaidi , hapa niliona MTU akichunishwa sukuma .
"If anything happens n I don’t make it , tell my wife muthoni I loved her " timo whispered to me b4 his eyes met with john cena fake.
"Usiogope nitakuonyesha form tulia "
“Macharia n timothy” kujeni , an askari knocked the steel bars n summoned us to follow him .
"Tumetoboa " I said to myself not sure of the surprise ahead .
FFWD
Maina had sad news n good news , the sad news was that he had 5k to bail only one of us, the bad news was that one of us would be left n be bailed either the following day or 3 days from then .
"Wacha nitoke 1st nitakukujia kesho " said timo .
"Mbona Mimi nisitoke nikukujie kesho " I replied angrily , I was not ready to spend any more second with those animals in that cage
…….
“Sasa tufanyenje?” Maina was puzzled .
I thought kidogo then was like
“Maina hiyo 5k to a 2 k uende ununue mikate crate mbili , maziwa packet 20 , na sigara za roster packet sita, 1k honga huyo askari bidhaa zitupate kwa cell tukeshe hapa weekend till Monday tufike kotini, we we tukujie after uamuzi WA koti” was my suggestion .
All of us agreed and an officer was to bring those stuffs in the cell we were in.
After kendo 20 mins ,sisi ndio tulikuwa kusema hiyo cell, onyi na rede take pako moja ya rosta na broadways NNE na packet za maziwa .
John cena na rede take pia tukawachafua na zile magoodies.
Sijui koloo (weed) ilitoka wapi plus kuna inmate mmoja suguu from kiandutu alikuwa na teje iko round speaker ghetto radio.
The weekend tukajinyce vifyam kule ndani , tho still missing home.
FFWD ,
“Mahabusu watarajiwa in Siku ya mashtaka,” the officer ordered us out immediately after we drank our morning porridge , to me it tasted sweeter hata kama haikuwa na sukari au maziwa.
We were allowed to wear our shoes and the waiting lorry waited for us.
The courts are 200m away from the police post so it was a 1 min journey . Monday is usually a very hectic day n I swear the judge listening to our case alikuwa na hangs au alichapwa na bibiye.
