Mpilo



The money was still inside the bags, I didn’t have the energy to go through it or maybe I was still scared at how close we were about to be locked up.

Nombuso switched on the TV and the first thing that I saw was the crime scene at the bank we robbed.

My heart was pounding so loudly, I looked at Nombuso and found her smiling. “We are famous baby.” She said as she raised the volume.

“We are are the bank of Jabulani, the place has been robbed by Two people according to the witnesses and the camera’s. What do you have to say Contestable Zwane?”

Constable looked straight at the camera’s as if he was looking at his soul “We have found an abandoned car at the open field, we are still dusting it off to see if maybe they had left fingerprints on there. If you are watching, you who did this know that I’ll find you.” And he turned around walking away back into the crime scene.

“We made news baby.” Nombuso said smiling and switched off the TV, She planted her lips on mine and seductively ran her hands on my body unlike all the other days I was not in the mood.

I held her arms and shook my head as I got “Not today.”

Surprised, she looked at me “What’s wrong Mpilo?”

A lot of things were on my mind, I was not even sure if I took out my gloves or not and I knew that in one of the good days I will be locked up, I feel it and no matter what I do I can never run away from that constant feeling.
