An hour later. Zoleka is walking around with Thabo. They get to an abandoned house.
THABO: No, Bonga chose something! You are a hardcore criminal.
ZOLEKA: Stop joking! We need to leave before anyone sees us.
THABO: OK, boss lady, let’s go.
ZOLEKA: You said which part is their meeting spot?
THABO: You see that corner? They use that side. There’s a table there.
ZOLEKA: Let’s move towards that side then.
THABO: Sure. Is everything ready?
ZOLEKA: Yes. Are you sure about their exact time of arrival? I don’t want a messy job, Thabo, you feel me?
THABO: I’m sure. You forget that we used to work with these people.
ZOLEKA: Your love for money! We wouldn’t be in this position if your greed didn’t get the best of you.
THABO: Nonsense! This guy was paying us peanuts. You wouldn’t even have those fake nails you have now.
ZOLEKA: Shut up and work!
THABO: The truth is bitter like that.
ZOLEKA: Shhh!
After 10 minutes, voices are heard.
LIZO: Big bro, I have long told you to trust me!
MZUKISI: Now I believe! I want more people who pull a clean job like you.
LIZO: Did you guys note that?
The others mumble and laugh.
MZUKISI: Put these bottles on our table. It’s going down today. Lizo, did you bring your speakers?
LIZO: Since when do you listen to music?
MZUKISI: Dude, today is a great day. I want to accompany Bonga to enter his hell. HA-HA-HA! Yes! The devil is out of my way!
BONGA: (clapping) In your dreams!
Lizo collapses.
BONGA: You all went mute as if you saw a ghost, what’s happening? Ha-ha-ha! I forgot that I am a ghost. I JUST CAME BACK!!
MZUKISI: LIZO!! LIZO!!
LIZO: Mm…uh…mm…
BONGA: Choking on your speech, my guy, howzit?
Bonga’s phone rings.
BONGA: Majita, what were you trying to do?
MZUKISI: Don’t refer to me as umjita!
BONGA: Apologies. Let me start afresh. What were you trying to do, little boys?
Mzukisi takes out a gun. It has no bullets in it.
BONGA: Even your guns don’t work? Y’all have fallen? You don’t even inspect your weapons and see that Ta Bongz has magically taken out all the bullets? Well, that’s what happens when you leave guns unattended in a car.
Bonga responds to the endlessly ringing phone.
BONGA: Who’s this, wasting my time?
ZOLEKA: Bonga, where are you?
BONGA: Zoleka, whose phone is this?
ZOLEKA: WHERE ARE YOU?
BONGA: What do you need? I’m still busy repairing what Mzukisi broke.
ZOLEKA: Get out of that place! Now! In the next minute you must be out of that place!
BONGA: I still need to…
ZOLEKA: The police are on the way!!
The phone disconnects.
BONGA: Zol…
A loud BANG is heard after that.
Tell us: What do you think Thabo and Zoleka were plotting? What was that loud bang?
