Kelvin adjusted his sleeves and he looked at Fosa's feet.
"So what are you saying now" he asked.
Fosa looked back at him. A still smile creeping off of his rigid face. "Are you shy now. Why are you looking down?"
"No, what is wrong with you. Fosa it is like you are mad ooo. Why should I be shy with you."
"So take your eyes off my feet."
Kelvin finally took his eyes off Fosa's feet. He looked him in the face offering a buoyant grin. "You never told me you were blind. All the same, let's go arrange how we are going to get out of here. Before the chief priest notice what we have done."
A glare from fosa was a quick reply.
"So you are now scared of the chief priest. What about the king's farm that I raided it. What about reverend Sam's goat." Fosa said.
Now kelvin was standing with his head tilted as he observed Fosa's belle.
"I can't believe you ate 12 tubers of yam in a day. Who charmed you?"
"Pls you will have to shut up now." fosa pushed him forward. Then he hit his palm against each other shaking off dust. It was just am imaginary set up.
He watched Kelvin walk off and the smile on his face began to shrink into a frown.
-Oh, what a friend he thought.- He never knew Kelvin could leave this wild life alone in the village, and follow him on a run away mission. His face was still down when he received a tap on his shoulder. Fosa looked up, Kelvin's face was in the rage of his eyes.
"What are you still doing here. My father will be back soon. Let us jump out of here." fosa yelled. "I know" Kelvin replied calmy with an expressionless nod.
"Are you mad, what does I know mean. Am i asking about your mental status. Pa Zach's truck will leave for town soon, and you are telling that you know." "It is OK" Kelvin said apologetically, offering Fosa a gently tap, thinking that would make Fosa feel a bit less miserable.
"I only came to ask, what did you asked me to go home and do. That's all." kelvin said demonstratively.
Fosa looked him in the eyes, as he gathered a fist. He stopped half way like he had been charmed, and he said gently one word at a time, hitting his index finger against Kelvin's broad chest. "I said go home and pick up those things you can't live without."
"Like my father's radio and his bicycle. Oh God, I can't live a day successfully without seeing those two things." Kelvin said happily then he met the frown on fosa's face and he stopped talking.
"OK" He said curtly, whirling around and moving away.
Fosa sat on that same bench that had always helped him out whenever he was battling with issues.
He knew pa Zach's truck would be leaving town any moment from now, and if pa Zach saw them like that, tracing them back would be darn easy. The thought about the money he made from all the stuff he stole and he had sold. He remembered bragging to Nioma (Doctor Felix's first and only daughter) about treating her right if he grabbed enough cash. Now he had all for her. But he was now in so much trouble, that would require him running other than taking a girl out.
He knew he wasn't thinking when he did everything. Now it was bouncing back on him. Kelvin mustn't know he committed so much atrocities because he wanted to impress a girl.
Now kelvin's words had began to settle in Fosa's stiff head, about the the chief priest been the most dangerous man to offend.
"But i only took, palm wine from the shrine. Not his house!!!!" Fosa said half aloud. His face had gone hard again.
