THE UNION novel Chapter 6

Back in the hotel. Tolu, Ayo and Gboyega sit outside thinking of a way to get to get back. Gboyega gets tired of waiting and confronts Tolu.

"What do we do now leader?" Gboyega talks in a very sarcastic manner, Tolu stressed by everything still has hope that something will turn up.

"Wait for Richard and Ngozi, I'm sure they'll turn up." She says with hope, Gboyega is already tired of Tolu's attitude, he is sick of waiting for them and he definitely is scared about what the outcome of this mission might be.

"Trust me when I say they aren't turning up, those two will find a way back home. They can take care of themselves." Gboyega voice gets higher, Tolu tries to calm him down.

"We can't just....." Gboyega interrupts her.

"Listen up, you're going to need to stop this hero bullshit attitude and face facts! We can't save Papa right now so why don't you call some officers to come pick us up." Gboyega says and walks back into the motel, Ayo who has been watching both of them argue chuckles, Tolu moves closer to him.

"What's his deal?" Tolu is confused cause Chong told her that Gboyega was the type of person that was ready to explore and go on different adventures.

"I know you're worried about Papa but you can't just force people to do what they don't want to do." Ayo gently tells her, Tolu moves to a fridge that has snack bar, she pays and gets a chocolate bar.

"But aren't you worried about him?" She says and offers him a chocolate bar as she talks but he rejects it.

"I'm scared, I and Papa were really close and I'm just hoping he gives me a call and let us know that he is fine." Ayo who has been trying to hide how he feels starts getting really scared, while he lived with Papa he knew that he had travelled in different mysterious ways but not like this.

"Then do something Ayo, I've heard that you can do so many things with your cybernetic." Tolu wasn't lying, Ayo had access to different powers, he could easily recharge the energy of the car with one touch of his powers or turn his legs to rocket launcher and so much more but a part of him keeps reminding him not to.

"I can't, my powers have some issues just call someone to pick us up.

Gboyega isn't enjoying this experience and I'm about to lose it too." Ayo says and walks out, Tolu is also stressed about being in here but she doesn't want to accept defeat by calling Deji. Her phone rings, she checks the caller and sees it's Dayo calling her at first she puts the phone back in her pocket.

"I can find a way out of here by myself." But her thoughts quickly shifts to Gboyega, she brings out her phone and picks the call.

"Hi Dayo." She says knowing she'll forever regret this.

Back in the motel, a red Toyota Corolla car parks in front of the hotel. Tolu rushes to call the others.

"Let's go guys!" She shouts out loud, she moves to the passenger seat and stares at Dayo who's driving, he pats her on her shoulder.
