Chief Waje did not waste time at all after shooting Chibby. He rushed down to his car which he parked some distance away. The bag which housed Anne's head was jostling beside him, and he hurriedly placed the bag in his boot, and started the car. The car failed to start on the first two attempts. "This is not a good sign." He said to himself. The third attempt welcomed the car to life, and Chief Waje set out to meet Arigbala. He had called him earlier to tell him he would be coming with all the items for the ritual. "Did you get the head?" Arigbala had asked him. "Yes Baba. I got it." He replied with great pride as if to show himself as a good and serious client. Chief Waje looked at it wrist watch, "7:49pm" His wrist watch declared as if to let him know he can still make it to Arigbala's place before night fall. It was an hour journey, and he wouldn't even spend up to that because the lorries that make the road busy during the day would have gone to rest. "I won't be coming back home tonight." He simply told himself that because there was no way he could make it back on time. Moreover, he didn't know how long the ritual would take. He decided to call his wife to let her know he would not be back till the following morning. He tried to reach for his phone in his pocket, and he realized it was not there. He checked the passenger's seat, but could not find it. His mind went back to where he must have kept it, and when last he used it. He remembered he had called Arigbala with it before calling Chibby to know how close he was. In it all, he remembered where he kept it. He kept it in his jacket, and he had used the jacket to cover the bag he kept in the boot. In the middle of it all, he maintained his speed and focus, when all of a sudden he saw a big antelope cross the road. He tried to avoid the antelope, which landed him into a big ditch off the road. Newspapers' headlines had it all in summary, as they bear different headlines. "SENATORIAL ASPIRANT DIES IN A CAR ACCIDENT, HUMAN HEAD FOUND IN HIS CAR." That was how one of the Newspapers put it. Another was not lenient at all as its headline read, "SENATORIAL ASPIRANT TURNS RITUALIST. DIES IN A CAR ACCIDENT."
--------EPILOGUE-------
The truth is very simple. Every man's soul has a price. For some, Christ has paid the price for their soul with His own blood, which makes them confident about what tomorrow has in stock for them. But, for those who are yet to associate themselves with Salvation, it is unarguable that their souls are for auction in the spiritual realm. Some souls are so cheap that with just a penny, one can afford them. Well, I must confess that some souls are highly expensive, while some souls could cost just a session's school fees, just like Anne. Some could cost just some thousands of money, just like Chibby, and some could cost just positions and power, just like Chief Waje. Some could even cost what I may not be able to think of right now. But the truth is, a soul is never too expensive for the devil to buy, except such a soul is bought with the blood of the innocent Lamb. HOW MUCH IS YOUR SOUL???
