“There was an escape from Adiala jail…”
“Don’t go there.”
“Why not? It’s a maximum security prison and….”
“I warn you not to go there. Besides, it wasn’t from jail as such it was as some prisoners were being transported…”
“I have seen those prison vans – they seem rather makeshift if you will, easy to….”
“Most if not all have been recaptured I think but let me remind you that this is not the first escape. You know in the West many films have been made on prisoners who escape, it’s not a usual occurrence there, here it’s not that out of the ordinary. And let me reiterate my warning to you….”

“Right but what sort of disguise do you think would fool her jailers.….”

“True but the hybrid system has allowed us to reach new pinnacles.”
“Newer pinnacles?”
“Yes the power to amend the constitution without the numbers and….”
“It’s called the spirit of reconciliation which requires a spirit of….”
“Hmmmm, OK am off to Adiala jail to get some spiritual education.”
