Margaret cannot believe that she can be this high up in gava and very close to power but she still cannot seem to make any headway, and even get any help to get her land
back.

back.
Huku kotiko things are thick. Mara the case file is lost. Mara prosecutor is sick. Mara a new magistrate. A new prosecutor comes and needs time to get well acquainted with the case. Mara there some inconsistencies in claims nini. Huku Johns defence keeps pushing dates and times.
Luckily, Lands Office has stopped any transaction on that piece of land going forward.
Finally, her lawyer tells her, hii case inaenda ikiwa ngumu, especially because there’s a dead body buried in her compound. Those guys complicated the case and this will drag for years.

Anaona hivi, if she is willing and agreeable, juu anajua she is a woman of standards and character, na very religious, she should let him organise an out of court settlement, wakuje walambishe hii jeshi kitu kiasi, hii mambo ya court iishe.
She tells him, let me pray about it.
She tells him, let me pray about it.
Meanwhile, the 3 other guys who won their case agains Johns are still following up on their reimbursement from Johns. Some 6M, plus costs.
Lakini Johns ni nani. To his name, he only has a piece of land in Njiru where he lives, and an old pick up. He doesn’t seem to have much.

After a month in the job, together na lawyer, they call the guys who’d buried the body in her land. She asks them for a price.
They say they have to consult.
One week later, they come back. But they want to speak to her alone, and do not want this conversation to come out.

One week later, they come back. But they want to speak to her alone, and do not want this conversation to come out.
They tell her oooh, ati oooh their Cucu is sick, and she is feeling bad that there is a court case, and that the mistake was not Margaret’s. And that Johns is a bad man. Anyway, wameona kuna shamba ingine mtu anauza huko Molo and the asking price is 5M, lakini bei ya kuongea.
If she can help them buy that, for them as a family, waache hii mambo, kila mtu aishi kwa amani.
Lawyer aka-show Margie, expert opinion, this is good deal. If nothing else, peace of mind. Juu hawa wasee wataleta tafash na court, and the chances of winning are minimal kabisa.

Meanwhile Margaret tells the three guys who have now become famil, what this new development is. They are excited for her, but when she mentions the new lawyer’s name, they tell her, ‘Yoooo. Kaa chonjo.’ They tell her this guy is good, but he is more of a fixer than a lawyer.
'And there is absolutely no way, those peasants doing a 3.5M deal, can afford him. That guy is good, but his fees alone is more than 1M, for the least work.’
Margaret's lawyer decides to do some due diligence.
He calls one of the most vocal boys but who’s name is now missing.

On Tuesday morning, she goes to her car to drive to work. When she pulls open the door, the handle is sticky. She looks at her hand. It’s blood. Almost fresh. Her heart fails. She peeps inside open door. A dead goat’s head, gory and bloody is staring at her. There’s blood inside.
And then, there’s a wooden cross with her name, date of birth, and date of death: exactly one week from then.
She freezes.
She says a prayer, and confesses her sins, and she gets the courage. Akasema liwe liwalo. No more fear.
She calls the three guys. She says she’s in.
