In the morning they woke up quickly, washed up, and got ready. *Uwani* made tea for them. *Rashida* bought them milk, Milo, and bread.
Uwani fried food for them. After they finished everything they washed the dishes and packed the rest of their things for the journey...
*Wasila* looked at *Camas* who was fixing the headscarf and said, "You should go home and greet your mom before we leave."
*Camas* said, "I know, but if I go home now our dad won’t let me go out again. Please just understand me — when I come back we’ll go together."
She said, "Exactly, *Rashida*, I will give 30,000 for house chores and to buy detergent and things for outside.
Because I don’t want to be on that street again. Wallahi I see you all like sheep in a pen.
Your name is inside the house but the people outside see this house as 'Kango' not a home."
*Uwani* said, "I hear you talking about 30,000. No one does that much house work."
She said, "I just want everything to be clean and nice. Insha Allah, when we go out today we will get money."
*Uwani* said, "Insha Allah."
*Wasila* took 20,000 and gave it for house repairs and also said to buy onions, pepper, and things for cooking before they return...
Then they said goodbye to her and left for the guest house of *Alhaji Ma'aruf* which is nearby.
They entered the area and saw groups of young men sitting around, but there were also many thugs and drug users...
*Alhaji Ma'aruf* and another man were standing with them talking.
When they stood there, they thought *Alhaji Ma'aruf* saw them.
He turned his mouth and looked at *Alhaji Tasi'u* and said, "Yayya, see these useless people! Now-now we finished our meeting and they are leaving."
*Wasila* said, "No, we are just on our way. Wallahi you know the transport problem, please be patient."
*Alhaji Tasi'u* looked at his friend and pointed at Wasila and said with a smile, "So you didn’t tell us you know this one?"
*Wasila* "Young girl!"
She said, "Really, Alhaji, you were surprised to see a small girl like this."
She said, "Exactly. Even though she’s small, she knows how to get us what we need from the park.
*Wasila*, I heard you talking about transport and other things. Calm your mind, I will buy you a car.
But for now just give us your support so we can benefit and build our business."
Right then she said, "Don’t worry Alhaji, I am ready. Wallahi for business I will go in and out everywhere I know.
When I get it I will tell you so you can give me the money and we finalize the matter."
*Alhaji Ma'aruf* and *Alhaji Tasi'u* burst out laughing.
After they finished laughing, *Alhaji Tasi'u* said, "You see those people sitting there?"
They said, "Eh."
He said, "You will go out with them a lot because we got news that _Ahamadu (Ba Iya Ka)_ will come and talk in town about our business.
Wherever they go they are talking about our business. You just watch! You and the group — there is work to do.
Go with Lauje and Karkuji. Do all the work well. We have the money and power, no one can do anything to you."
*Wasila* said, "Don’t worry Alhaji, I will keep my promise to the end."
*Alhaji Ma'aruf* looked at *Camas* and winked at her and said, "Be brave, nothing will happen."
She said, "Haba, don’t worry, I have taken the promise. Insha Allah we will spoil _Ba Iya Ka_'s plan."
*Alhaji Tasiu* showed the young men to *Wasila* and said they are her travel mates.
He told them to take care of her like their own.
They packed her into the car, waved, and when the car was full with 4 of them it left because they were up to 20 people and more...
They were on the road that takes people out of
