Two days after the whole event as T-Boy finally recovered from the loss of his 5 gang members after burying them however he could just to clean up the mess, he realized how famished he's been and decided to take a walk to a restaurant but was a bit scared that he may be attacked by those he had once attacked, and later assumed that they'd be scared of maybe his men are following him from different axis except the Preacher had spread the news and with this assumption, he picked up a headset, lighter, wraps.
"Adieu Boys, but one day, memories shall bring back your memories" he said to a group photo he had with his now gone members after lighting up a stick and wearing a headset, he left home for an eatery.
While on the street, people were surprised seeing him alone and no one dared to go near less they die there, he stepped into a restaurant and every other customers ran away for their lives, some paid, others took with them their plates of food, and others just left their orders and transactions pending, for it is recorded as a question, "who goes you to feed with OG?" and no one's ever thought of answering in theory or practice, the question.
He sat down and remembered how his men would sit round with him, with tables doubled and chairs well arranged, they will eat and afterwards alter the lyrics of the song....
"trust and obey, for there is no other way, to be happy with Jesus than to trust and obey" into a form of praising him by singing
"chop I no pay, for there is no other way, to be rocking with T-Boy than to chop I no pay"
With these lines, no waiter would come to them for a pay, if any comes as a young damsel, she'd be raped by T-Boy there, if a young man, he'd be beaten and his funds and gadgets taken away, you call the police on them, then the whole community would become a war zone and many will meet their ancestors, he couldn't help but shed tears of losses, still controlling himself not to be seen as weak or defeated, then came a waitress, a young damsel but the older woman in charge stopped her and decided to serve him instead.
"errmm...T-Boy, I get rice, stew, beans, pepper soup, and for swallow, I get only melon for now, which one you go want?" she asked him and was still scared less she gets shot because his boys normally take his desired measures but got surprised when T-Boy handed her 2 thousand naira notes.
"mama, just give me rice and beans, with Pepper soup, 2 meats" he said and the woman hurriedly went in with the money should in case he's drunk, he'd probably not remember on time and ask back but what if he wants to use it to get other funds?
"oh God please don't let me die today, let my children not come back from school and hear that I'm dead, please, blind him from beginning to end" the woman prayed as she was dishing out his portion.
No sooner had he been served than when the Preacher arrived, entered and sat directly opposite him on the same table, that was a great height of temerity, slanderous to T-Boy's reputation but where are his boys?
"pastor, abeg him people go soon come, abeg you fit come sidon here, abeg" said the woman and the damsel was literally more inside as instructed less she gives herself into evil, the Preacher looked at the woman.
"mama no worry, we get business, na my person, just give me what he's eating for 1.5k, 2 plates, that's 3k" the Preacher responded and the woman with a scared heart of any possible event went inside to prepare the Preacher's order and still was praying for protection while at it.
"I'm not here to cause any terror, I'm just hungry, so I came to eat, you can ask her, I've paid for my portion already, normally I no dey do like that, that's unlike me" T-Boy began just to be sure he's not going to be killed in the presence of his enemies.
"The Bible says, come on to me those of you that have labored and are of heavy laden and I will give you rest, seek ye first the kingdom of God and its righteousness and every other things shall be added on to you, when you have Christ, you have no need to fear, do you have Christ or would you want to give Him a place in your Life?" the Preacher said on to the woman who arrived while T-Boy was talking and she out of fear of dead, accepted to accept Christ again just in case baptism won't be enough to save her.
"a soul has been won without a sword being drawn" said the Preacher to himself keeping T-Boy in suspense, taking almost half portion of a plate out of the 2 he ordered, he began.
"there are two types of pain in this world, the pain that hurts, and the pain that heals, you have been through both, but these people have been through just one, the Bible in Isaiah 6v7 says, this has touched your lips and your sins have been taken away, and down it says, who shall I send?, who will go for us? mmmm....mmmm...here I am, send me, they keep on hearing without understanding, they keep on seeing without perception and you have used it against them more and more to have pains that heals" the Preacher said to T-Boy and handed him a paper that has a figure written on it.
"well, no one is here, so I will send you, I give 24hrs to return this money to the woman you took it from, and 48hrs to return with additional 10 thousand naira notes, which would make it 110 thousand, or 72hrs to wait for the manifestation of the Son of God, it's 1pm already but your time starts from 4pm, today." the Preacher said handing him the paper with the figures written, asked him to hold on, went out, picked 3 pupils coming back from school to the restaurant and at the sight of T-Boy, they started crying, but had no other option than to eat as the Preacher did since that's why the Preacher took them there and afterwards, ran away without saying thank you, the Preacher gave the woman 5 thousand naira notes.
"at the sight of you, they are scared, you have negative influence, but they followed me to here, because I have a positive influence, what legacy do you have? How do you want to be remembered? As a terror that flies by the day and as an arrow or bullet by night?" the Preacher asked him calmly but he couldn't answer anything, he was for the first time, scared.
"I'm not here to cause any problem oga pastor, na food I come chop, you can ask her, I have paid my dues.....errm.....I mean....food money....bills...abeg, I no kill anybody since I come here" T-Boy had to speak after 60 seconds of silence
"remember the task at hand and just like the sabbath day, keep it holy, the best day to repent is the day you will die, and I will pray for you" the Preacher said and left with no leftover food and everyone thought that T-Boy wasn't there again so they started coming out but as he stood up to leave 5 minutes after the Preacher left, they all fled again.
