She stands at the bench and pours the tea in the cup, she
then proceeds to the toast Mako is making and takes one,
bites it.

the dance more violent and interesting, the vibe breaks when
she hits the table with her ass and drops a cup of coffee on
the edge, the cup smashes the floor and shatters. She stands
still shocked.
                   LUCY
         Oh God! Can't a person celebrate even
         a little for achieving some big
         goals?!!
INT. HOTEL.DAY
Mako sits at the table, looks like he's waiting for his order
to be brought to him. Just in a server appears with dishes.
                   BOB
         Here you go sir, enjoy your meal.
                   MAKO
         You know, you gotta charge more for
         that smile little bro.
                   BOB
              (Smiles)
         I'll consider that, business is about
         good ideas right?
                   MAKO
         That's right.
                   BOB
         So when are you gonna reveal her?
                   MAKO

                                                         9.
                   BOB
              (Teasing)

         am talking about.
                   MAKO
         Sorry, am not following.
                   BOB
              (Pause)
         Mom and dad would be proud if you
         would introduce a woman to them bro.
                   MAKO
         Yeah, maybe someday.
                   BOB
              (Teasingly)
         Besides your ass is getting older man
         not younger.
                   MAKO

                   BOB
              (Laughs)
         Don't give yourself hopes bro.
as they were enjoying their meal , Bob and Mako hear the
cries and groans across the street,Bob makes a run to take a
look but Mako stops him.
                                         10.
          MAKO

out there!
          MAKO

          BOB

          MAKO

          BOB

          MAKO

          BOB
i gotta see who that bro,maybe i could
be of help, or maybe it could be
someone i know.
          MAKO
it can't be someone you know...unless
your friends are criminals.
          BOB
and what's that supposed to mean?
          MAKO
those are local gangs fighting,so
unless you're one of them...
          BOB
is that an accusation?
          MAKO
it's more of a confirmation.
          BOB
And how can you be so sure its not
some one innocent person who is hurt?
                                                        11.
                   MAKO
         This was my life before remember.
                   BOB
              (walks away)
         am not sure about that.
Bob is moving away away from his brother, he throws the the
smocha in his hand , it's not finished yet,but i guess its
anger,coz nobody does that with this economy of Zakayo's.
                   MAKO
              (to Bob's back)
         Am just trying to protect you little
         bro.
Bob arrives at the apartment when him and his cousin stays,

         don't even notice what's happening
         around them!

                   DULAA

                   BOZZET
         i didn't come here to be in the same
         room with an idiot either.
Dulaa tries to get up and leave the room but Hon. Kariuki
gets up and stops him.
                   HON. KARIUKI
         alright everybody calm down...you need

         jeopardize our business and
         partnership.
                   HON. KARIUKI

         part6nerts.
                   HON. KARIUKI

                    HON. KARIUKI
              (calls)
         inspector.
                   INSP. GEORGE

                   HON. KARIUKI

                   INSP. GEORGE

                     INSP. GEORGE

                   HON. KARIUKI

         tonight.
                   INSP. GEORGE
         I'll make sure of that sir.
And the inspector leaves the room while kariuki sits down and
drink the water on the desk.
                   LUCY
         when x is constant , the equation
         becomes even, understood?
                     STUDENTS

                                                         20.

         number 2,3,4,5. and bring your books

the bell then rings and she takes her purse and leaves the
room .
She runs her eyes through the surrounding quickly, her eyes
back the plate in front of her...
                   LUCY
              (Making a face)
         Huh?!!.... Did I just see...
                   LUCY

                   MAKO

                    LUCY

                   MAKO

                   LUCY

                   MAKO

                   LUCY

         street.
                   MAKO

                    LUCY
               (Smiles)

         love.
                   MAKO
         Oh I see. How've you been? Can't
         believe I saw you today.
                    LUCY

         doing in Nairobi? , last time I heard

                                        22.
          LUCY
Too young for retirement... Something
went wrong?
          MAKO
You could say that!
          LUCY
What happened?
          MAKO
Long story...
          LUCY
I know this system sucks, sorry man.
             MAKO
It's good.
          LUCY
And what do you do now?
          MAKO
Private sector.
          LUCY

             MAKO

          LUCY
Yeah... Actually the way you're
looking at this gent over there... Am

          MAKO

          LUCY
It's not just you suits who are good
at this remember.
          MAKO
I'll give you that.
          LUCY
Where is Bob?
                                                        23.
                   MAKO
              (Eyes glued to a table far corner)
         Here in town. And fine.
Just then some guy gets up from the table Mako was looking at
and walked to the counter. Mako puts down the glass of water
he's holding and gets up.
                   MAKO
         Alright, I'll have to go, it's so good
         to see you Lucy.
                   LUCY
              (Smiles)
         Ok...happy hunting mate.
                   MAKO
              (Walking to the door)
         I'll see you around.
                   LUCY
              (To herself)
         Trying to be the Goat always huh!!
The street is quit and empty, there are no even the street
kids who always stroll outside like they always do.
                   SAM
         In position sir.
                   HON. KARIUKI(V.O)
         Good, make sure I'm aware of every
         step.
                      SAM
         Copy that.
Now we clearly see his face but it's still dark. It's Sam,
Hon. Kariuki's enforcer, he's there to make sure the shipment
come in safely without any chance of being tempered with. He
corrects his angle of shooting and sits on the rifle, with a
clear sight of Dulaa and his boys and the entire street.
Back in the car, Dulaa and his boys are becoming inpatient.
                   KEVOO
         They are late boss.
                   DULAA
         Just a little longer and we get out of
         here.
                   KEVOO
         I think something happened to them.
                   DULAA
         We would've known if anything
         happened.
                   KEVOO
         Shouldn't you juat call him?
                   DULAA
         Not yet Kev. Just relax OK?!
                                                        25.
                   KEVOO
              (Looking suspiciously ahead)
         You see that?
                   DULAA
         Looks like they are here.
                     KEVOO
         Finally!!
Just as it enters the alley it stops and two gents come down
the front doors.
                   SAM
         It's here boss.
                   HON. KARIUKI(V.O)
         Good, keep watching.
Seeing the truck stop, Dulaa and his boys in the Ford ranger
move in. They arrive at the truck and stop the vehicle, they
get out.
                   DULAA
         You're late boys.
                   DRIVER
         Had some issues with the truck.
                   DULAA
         I hope you solved it.
                   DRIVER
         Yep, it's good now.
                   DULAA
         Any problem with the cargo?
                   DRIVER
         Nop. It's intact.
                   DULAA
         Good, pop it we gotta confirm.
Driver moves to the back of the trailer, they all follow him,
in the back the driver opens the trailer's back door, there
are many boxes wrapped in the back, he steps aside.
                      DULAA
                 (Pionts his finger in the trailer
                 and back at his eyes)
         Kev.?
                   KEVOO
         All good boss.
                   DULAA
         Good, let's move then.
                   DULAA
         Gentlemen, from here we'll escort you
         to the safe house, understood?
                                                        27.
                   DRIVER
         Understood.
                   DULAA
         Just follow us... Alright boys let
         go!!
They all get back in the cars and drive off, a toyota corolla
upfront full Dulaa's boys, the Dulaa's Ford ranger, then the
truck.
Back on the roof top, Sam witnesses all that's happening down
through the scope of the rifle. As the shipment moves out, he
secures his weapon in the bag and reports back.
                   SAM
         It's on the move boss.
                   HON. KARIUKI(V.O)
         OK, thank you Sam.
                   SAM
         YOU got it boss.
                   BOB
         Where the hell is this guy?!
He then calls the phone, we see the phone screen it's Joss.
The phone rings for 5 seconds and it's picked up, there a
loud music playing in the background .
                   JOSS(V. O)
         Yoooow cuz!!!
                   BOB
         Joss! where are you man?
plays on the big speakers, the DJ does the magic with his
fingers.
                   JOSS
              (Still dancing)
         Am at the club cuz!
                    BOB(V.O)
         Joss it's too late man, you gotta
         leave now.
                   JOSS
         I will Bob, just an hour more!
                   BOB
         What?! You know the streets aren't
         safe at this time man.
                   JOSS(V.O)
         Don't worry coz, am not coming home
         tonight, gotta enjoy the rest of the
         night withy girl.
                   BOB
         Oh God! Just don't drink too much bro.
                   JOSS(V.O)
         Ciao ciao, go out there and enjoy bro,
         it's weekend.
Bob hangs up the phone and opens the X app to see updates.
                   BOB
         Hahahahaa! Looks like the weekend is
         sorted! Let's do it boys.
                           ACT II
                           ______
The sun come up, it's hot but not that hot, a chilly morning
the atmosphere is calm but tense. We see the beautiful view
of Nairobi city, the buildings standing tall and the vehicles
running on the tarmacs.
                   NARRATOR(O.S)
         Everybody wakes up with a plan for his
         days, except for some their plan may
         never be fulfilled. Whatever the day
         holds no one knows, some people start
         it with a prayer, some start it with
         sin, some never get the chance to
         start at all. The only difference is
         that we all have different minds, but
         all of us wish for the better version
         of our days. The business people wish
         they will get their highest profit,
         the doctors wish they will save lives,
         the lawyer wishes he'll win his case,
         the assassin wishes he kills his
         target. After all everyone wishes best
         for whatever they want to do.
                   SAM
         boss, i got some emergency.
                   HON. KARIUKI
         what is sam
                   SAM
         i got an intel from one of my boys on
         the streets that some youths are
         planning today.
                    HON. KARIUKI
         today?...how trusted is your
         informant?
                                        30.
          SAM
solid boss,he never delivers
unverified intel.
          HON. KARIUKI
and why are you telling me now?
          SAM
i just got it sir.
          HON. KARIUKI
alright , we need a plan, call the
inspector, and do it fast.
          SAM
i already have one sir, but we might
need bozzet and dulaa on this one.
          HON. KARIUKI
what do you have in mind?
          SAM
we let them protest and we plant some
of the gang members to disrupt and
start violence , the police will do
the rest.
          HON. KARIUKI
i like where your head is, but those
morons might take things too far.
          SAM
they have to be under strict
instructions boss.
          HON. KARIUKI
I don't think bringing Bozzet into
this is a good idea.
          SAM
Dulaa's boys are enough.
          HON. KARIUKI
Alright, get that team ready,
meanwhile I'll talk to the inspector.
          SAM
on it.
                                                        31.
Sam walks to the door. Hon. Kariuki sits down and punchs a
number in the phone.
                   HON. KARIUKI
         Susan, get me Inspector George, tell
         him it's imminent we meet as soon as
         possible.
                      SUSAN(V.O)
         Ok sir.
                   INSP. GEORGE
         Everybody gather please.
                   INSP. GEORGE
         Listen everybody, this is an
         emergency, early this morning we got a
         tip that a group of youth is planning
         a protest and it's not a peaceful one
         as the Intel suggests, so we have to
         maintain the peace of this town
         right??
                      OFFICERS
              (All)
         Yes sir!!
                   INSP. GEORGE
         Good, now... There will be 3 teams,
         team A the 13th upto 17th, team B 18th
         to 20th and team team C the rest....
         Gear up and let's move!!
We shift to the bughaa gang, their hideout where they lay low
                                                           32.
                   DULAA
         Absolutely not, we do other things but
         not interfere with public issues.
                   SAM
         This a problem for all of us Dulaa.
                   DULAA
         It's your problem, so fix it in your
         own ways.
                   SAM
         Look man, if I had another way I'd
         never come here, it's a tight time.
                   DULAA
         What's the catch?
                   SAM
         YOU get the priority treat.
                   DULAA
         Not enough!
                   SAM
         Or maybe I offer this to Bozzet.
                   DULAA
         Alright, I'll take care of it.
                   SAM
         I'm glad we came to an agreement.
Then a group of youth appear from alley across and jioni the
protest, one of the holding a light but hiding it, and
another a gasoline can.
                   MAKO
         Aaah!..so you're the one who wants to
         betray your partner...(typing) doing
         everything online isn't a smart move
         though friend.
                   MAKO
         Hey Bob, how are you?
                   BOB(V.O)
         Am good bro.
                     MAKO
         You home?
                   BOB(V.O)
         Yeah, why do you ask?
                   MAKO
         Nothing... where were you today?
                                                        34.
                   BOB(V.O)

         questions?!
                   MAKO

                   BOB(V.O)

                   LUCY
         Did they say the charges?
                   MAKO
         No, this whole thing doesn't feel
         right!
                   LUCY
         You suspect something fishy?
                   MAKO
         I don't know... But it definitely
         feels fishy.
                   LUCY
         If you say so maverick!
                   MAKO
         Am serious, I saw Sen. Kariuki, which
         makes me wonder what he's doing in a
         police station.
                   LUCY
         That does feel lousy! You think he's
         involved?
                   MAKO
         I don't wish for.
                   MAKO
         You still got those hefty skills of
         yours?
                   LUCY
         Depends on which which one, I've many
         skills
                   MAKO
         I mean the one you play with the
         fingers.
                    LUCY
         Oh yeah!
                   MAKO
         Nice, look into the cameras on the
         street the day of the protest.
                   LUCY
         YOU mean hack?!
                   MAKO
         Just do whatever you have to.
                   LUCY
         You're the boss.
                   MAKO
         And Lucy, look closely.
                   MAKO
         Meanwhile... I have an appointment
         with a friend.
Mako comes to right to the table, sits the desk next to it,
now they are back to back at each other.
Looks like they are avoiding some attention from the public
or the meeting is secret.
                   MAKO
         YOU know you could do something more
         useful instead reading a three-days
         old newspaper.
                   PAUL

         right?!
                   MAKO
              (Pause)

                   PAUL

                                                  42.
                   MAKO
         I need to know if there are any
         warrants for his arrest.
                   PAUL

         things a bit different now Mako,

         always a way.
                   PAUL
