Chapter thirty five 2

"Jayjay Job, why an activist? It's a very dangerous and risky job..."

"I love the dangerous and risky jobs. I need to be the voice of our people, I need to do the impossible for them. I think that's my purpose in life."

"John Naina sir, what do you have to say about all this?"

"I think they are young, immature and reckless..."That was a wrong move lousy greedy murderous man. As I had predicted, Jayjay snapped.

"Immature, you are a greedy, a dictator and a murderer. What good have you done in our community?All you are best at is taking advantage and killing anyone who goes against you. John Naina I am going to bring you down."I tried to hold his hand to calm him down but he drew it back.

"I am sick and tired of your leadership," Jayjay slammed the table, "Our youth are being killed everyday as you fatten. There are no jobs, no clean water and out area is the dumping site.If you are sick and tired of your job, just quit..."

"How dare you Jayjay Job talk to me like that?" That lousy greedy murderer stood from his seat and pointed a gun at him. The police commissioner tried to hold him back but couldn't.There was tension in the air as I held my breath and from Jeff's shocked look he seemed he would get a heart attack soon.

"Finally you have shed off your pathetic skin. Shoot me, isn't that what you are good at?" Jayjay raged.

"Guys, we will be right back after the break...." Jeff trembled.


"Guys, please calm down. You are on Live TV for crying out loud..." Jeff beseeched but one of them seemed ready to back down.

"Jayjay Job, I will never forget this humiliation..." That lousy greedy murderer warned.

"Bring all you got John, I am not scared of you..." Jayjay stood from his seat and walked to where he was,"I will bring you down and that's a promise.

"John Naina Sir, can you put the gun away?.You are scaring my colleagues..." Jeff pleaded.

"Then tell this man to respect me..."

"Okay.Jayjay Job you need to calm down. We are going back live in five minutes so you all need to find you grip..." There was a warning edge in Jeff's voice.That lousy greedy murderer put his gun away and walked from the News room followed by the police commissioner. That fool couldn't do anything or was he his little puppet? Our country is fucked up. Until we get rid of corrupt leaders, we will never move forward.

"What was that Jayjay?" I stuttered and he just ignored me.

"Here, have some water..." He handed me the bottle of water that was on the table and fidgitating I quickly gulped the bottled water down my throat.

"I don't wanna lose you Jayjay..." I trembled only for him to squeeze my hand.

"You won't lose me Jemima. Now calm down, I don't want you to look scared Infront of him like earlier or he will use that to his advantage. You are our little lioness, anyone who attacks you bite them if you have to."I didn't understand half of what he said and so I nodded.


Drake's POV

"Jambo Radio, this is your guy Jeff Mbote and welcome back. I already warned you it gets intense..." Jeff chuckled.

Wayne, Daniel and I had plopped on the sofa watching Jemima's interview.

"I can't believe I am watching NEWS, who still watches it anyway?" Wayne groaned.

"Shut up and listen." I rolled my eyes at him.

"Jemima what do you think about what Jayjay said? Do you think there is some truth in it?"Damn I was so proud of my girl. Just look at her look all beautiful and confident.

"Think, I know so. The rage in his eyes is the proof you need. If someone is tired of his job, he can always quit." Jemima pointed out dryly.

"I never knew Jemima could be this fierce. She always look like this crying baby."Wayne commented, putting a handful of popcorns in his mouth.

"That makes the two of us. Drake I don't I understand how you choose a malnourished selfish model over this ." Daniel added. If only it was that easy guys.


"So Police commissioner what do you think about all this?" Jeff asked.

"First and foremost Jayjay before accusing anyone you need proof. Secondly it was a bad idea for Jemima to lead the riot, that's not how things are sol..."

"And was it right for the police to shoot me?Or beat Jayjay almost to death and kill Nick?Our country will never changed unless our leaders change their mindset about everything..."

"But..." Before the police commissioner could defend himself Jemima interrupted him again.

"No, it seems you are also corrupt. Jayjay has accused that man,"He pointed at John Naina,"Of alot of things, as a good cop you need to carry out investigations..."

"There is a protocol Jemima Job" The police commissioner raised his voice.

"Then follow it, for God's sake.Or aren't you the good cop?We are sick and tired of injustice. A seven year old was shot, how do you justify that?" I have never seen my Jemima this angry.

"Calm down Jemima.So let's get to you with the tweets..." Jeff was smart to butt in or everything would have gone South.

"Jemima must be very brave. John Naina is a very bad man, he hates to be humiliated or even provoked. It takes nerves to stand up to him..." Daniel stated.

"Can't you see the kind of brother she has?With such kind of a brother who wouldn't be brave?" Wayne shook his head.

"She will get famous soon. She is gaining the people's love and trust. And in this country, that's all you need..." Daniel added and gulped down the bottle of beer he was holding.If this John Naina guy is a dangerous man then Jemima's life is threatened.What if he does something to her?Just by the mere thought of that, my heart fell in my stomach.

"What of this John Naina guy harms her?" I asked in a worrying tone.
"He is not a fool after pointing a gun at Jayjay, he has already lost the trust his people have for him. Right now all eyes are on him, he won't do something stupid..." Daniel tried to convince me otherwise but I wasn't contented with his answer.

"Drake the reason you couldn't be with Arya was because you were afraid she couldn't handle the limelight. It seems to me, she is handling it so perfectly.She will be even more loved than Ivy very soon. Just watch her pace." Daniel pointed it out, his eyes stuck on the TV.

"Hey Jeff. John Naina,Police commissioner, Jemima and Jayjay welcome to Hotseat. Today surprisingly we have alot of tweets and I am gonna a read you some of them..." Cikuh beamed.

"@Albert :I love what Jemima and Jaynay are doing. These leaders are incompetent and it's a high time they be put in their place.

@Ruth: Jayjay you are officially my role model. Your braveness is something to admire.

@Thomas :I can't believe John Naina had the nerve to point a gun on live TV that only means one thing, the allegations against him are true.

@Nick: Job's You two are always making me proud. Cheers to making the world a better place.

@Philip :Police commissioner Jemima is right, you should investigate this crazy MP. I am from Sokomoko and trust me he has done nothing apart from gain weight.This will be our last tweet and then we will get back to you Jeff.

@Jordan King:Thanks Jemima for using the right channel, I am so proud of you."

"Guys did you see Jemima blush? Did you see the grin on her face when Jordan King's name was mentioned?" I thundered
.
"What's wrong with that?" Wayne asked in confusion.

"Jordan is Jemima's boss and Drake thinks he likes Jemima..." Daniel explained to him in emphasis.

"Dude if I were you I would act fast or else he will take her from you?"wayne teased me.

"No, I won't allow that. Cardi is landing tomorrow, I am going to end things with her..."

"What?" They both asked in unison.

"It's time to make Jemima mine.She is getting famous and I think I like her so everything is good." I said excitedly but they didn't seem to believe me.

"I will believe it after seeing it.I don't trust your words anymore..." Daniel pointed out and Wayne nodded in agreement.Thanks Jema for making this easy for me. We can finally be together.

"You can get us on Twitter, Facebook@Hotseat and our SMS number 224455. It's getting hot here see you after the break.Jeff beamed.

"Incase you do as you have told us, what of Carso doesn't take it well?We know she can be a little bit gaga." Wayne asked concerningly.

"I will deal with that when I get there. Right now my priority is to make Jemima mine."

"Okay."Wayne shrugged.
