He says, you need to go now.

I said, okay, Peters, what's happening?

He said, I heard a bunch of the young men talking about you this afternoon.

And what's going to happen is when it gets dark and they're the tough ones and we know some of them carry weapons, they're going to come to your house and in front of Caitlin, they're going to kill you.

I didn't know yet.

But I was, I've put everyone offside, but I'm still in my head fighting the noble fight.

Like, I'm coming to fix this place.

And no one's done it so far, but I'll get the job done.

So he tells me this, and so I said to Peter's, Caitlin's coming out of class now, can you just make sure she's safe?

She comes out of class, I give her a kiss on the cheek and I said, Peters wants to have a meeting with you.

Maybe go have a cup of tea with him somewhere.

And I find Masangi, the oldest boy, and I ask him to get all the young men into a room before anyone goes anywhere.

It's at the end of the day.

And we go into this room and it's a room we've built together.

There's posters on the walls that we've drawn up together.

And I asked Masangi to latch the door shut so we're locked in there together, about 50 of us.

And I stand up in front of them and I say, now the rumour is that you want to kill me tonight.

Well, I don't want Caitlin to see that happen.

So try to kill me right now instead.

Well, thank goodness none of them moved.
