#DeadInKilimani
The apartment they want to go is already let and occupied. And no visitors allowed. Ama waongee na landlord, mama mwenye apartment.

Jackie says they are scared their pal may be in danger and they need to just make sure she is ok.

It is the folded 500 note that does the trick.
He tells them to park outside the compound, and then escorts them to the lift and goes upto the 6th floor. All the while Jackie is calming Shiro down.

Watchie ata hashikanishi.

Shiro knocks on the door. Light light footsteps approach the door.

A short gyal unlocks the door.

He says he is not hungry.

They insist he must eat. They ask him what he wants to eat.

He says he is feeling cold. Very cold.

They tell him not to worry. 'Tutaku-sort!'

11:30pm.

This girlie opens the door of her apartment and locks it behind her. But there is some uneasiness.

Like someone else is in there. She rushes to her daughter's room, finds her asleep. Just like she left her an hour ago.
Phewx.

But she's still scared. Very scared for someone who has walked from Tamasha to Rose Avenue past 10pm.

She goes into her bedroom, gets under her blanket and whispers a prayer.

Lights off.

Kidogo, she someone breath out sloowly.

She freezes.

Her heart is in her tummy.
Her duvet is lifted slowly. That someone slides into her bed. He smells like half a man. She jumps off on the bed for the lights, but bumps into another man, who grabs her by the neck, lifts her and pins her back into her bed.

The first guy chuckles.

She begs 'Please, please.'

Nothing.

She tries a couple more times.

Still.

Nothing.

She chills kidogo, looking extremely calm on the outside.

An hour later, she calls again. Ala? It takes a while to connect. And then now, the nanny's phone rings funny. Like… she is out of the country.

Ai... Strange.
She tries more times nonstop. She's frantic and wants to tell nanny off.

Finally, ringing stops. Just hollow silence.

She calls a neighbor, asks her to go & angalia kwani what’s up.

Neighbor says ‘Ai. Si nilidhani mumesafiri nyote? Ukweli sijaona Margie na Kaylan for a while.’

Her pal convinces her Otero is legit and arranges the meeting.

They meet Otero at a coffee shop on Lenana Road.
She explains the whole drama and why it is critical that the story never gets out. Although, she has the car, she's convinced the cash maybe lost. But ako sure somehow that Shylock really knows James, or he took advantage of the situation to rip her family off.

‘Hi Makena…’

Followed by pleasantries, tiny gossip and the vain praise you love to hear about yourself. About how good you are, or how much you have been missed or how much you have helped them.

Joy is a fixer. Her role in the scam is to bring you to a planned meeting. Thazit.
‘By the way, can we meet? I can buy you coffee. There’s something I want to tell you.’

And since our ears always want to be told things, Makena automatically says yes.

The meeting is held at a high end restaurant in Valley Arcade. Just Joy and Makena. Time is agreed and kept.

THIS IS A TRUE STORY.
#IKnowAGuy Chapter II:

A while back I posted some of my photography gear on OLX, and I fell into the hands of some crazy robbery drama. And I ended up in so much trouble.

TOO MUCH. 😭😭😭

Getting out of it, was purely God's grace.
.
A THREAD.

Lets go!
I needed to let go of some gear so I took them and share on my socials and my photography whatsapp groups and pages.

Total Cost: 420K.

There was little movement and conversation over it. And then someone told me, 'I know a guy who bought my stuff off OLX.' I was like, Bingo.
I was not new to OLX. I bought a camera grip off the platform. But while at agency, I worked extensively on OLX as a brand, developing campaigns, pushing recruitment, youth engagement, campus activations etc.

I'd heard stories of conmen on the app but I'd never experienced it.
