For a few minutes the cab driver and the woman conversed about Nigeria--they talked about everything from the corruption in the government to the 419 (advance fee fraud) scams Nigeria had become notorious for. She relayed to the cabby the story of how even the devil was scammed in Nigeria, stating that even he now had the utmost respect for those Nigerians in the fraud profession. "Hia hia hia hia hia!!" the cabby laughed again.
They had such a rapport going that she mentioned to him her problem. "I was all but guaranteed that the job was mine" she said. "But when I got there they told me that they had no opening. Now I know it's just because I'm a woman. After all, my number is 666."
The cabby went into deep thought. "Hmmm. I think I can help you out. Come with me madam."
The car stopped outside a tall building in Westchester. "Alhaji owns a condo here. He can help us."
They got out from within the car and proceeded inside, then upstairs via the elevator. They got to the 10th floor and rang one of the doorbells.
A big man with a protruding stomach opened the door and gave a great grin.
<<<grin>>>
"Jimoh the cab driver!"
"Alhaji Alhaji!"
The greetings done with, the cab driver introduced her to Alhaji.
"Alhaji, this is the beast with the number 666. She has a problem and I told her you would be able to help her."
Alhaji grinned again. "Hia hia ha hia hia! <<<grin>>>. Come on inside and we'll see what I can do."
They proceeded inside the house which was tastefully furnished--by this it would suffice one to say that everything had some sort of food on it. This would explain the Alhaji's figure. He was an oddly shaped man. An oddly shaped man.
"Tell me your problems" Alhaji said as he poured some blood into a glass for her. He shook his head as she offered him some of hers. "Don't drink that stuff myself. I stay away. Besides, I have high blood pressure." They all laughed. She proceeded to tell her tale and once in a while Alhaji would interject with a question. "What color of trousers did he have on?" And so forth, and so on.
