Gus wiped sweat from his brow, hanging back as Ayize walked up to the next house. When an older man opened the door, Ayize asked his rote question. Of course, Gus didn’t understand the words—he didn’t speak a Swahili—but by now he was used to the string of phonemes rolling off the translator’s tongue.
When the old man slipped back inside the house, Gus asked, “No luck?”
“No, luck!” Ayize replied. “He is getting his daughter and we will talk to her as well. They have both suffered molestations by the Popo Bawa.”
“And they’re willing to discuss their attacks? Wow. That’s great.” Gus couldn’t suppress his smile. Yes, it was horrible, but he was glad to hear of these encounters with the shapeshifter. The more accounts Gus heard, the closer he’d get to the bottom of the Popo Bawa mystery.
“In North America, people aren’t so forthcoming about sexual assaults—especially not men,” Gus went on as they waited for the man and his daughter to return.
Ayize nodded. “The people believe the Popo Bawa will come back and attack them again if they do not tell others of the assault. It is very common for a victim to tell the whole village.”
The door opened and the older man walked through, followed by a young woman in a floral dress and a sunny yellow headscarf. They parked themselves in lawn chairs in front of the house and bid both Gus and Ayize sit with them.
“This is Fedha and his daughter Nafuna,” Ayize said. “I told them where you come from, and that you are here to stop the Popo Bawa attacks.”
With an appreciative smile, Gus nodded to Fedha and Nafuna. To Ayize, he said, “Let’s start with a broad question: what is the Popo Bawa, and do they remember the first time they heard about his attacks?”
Nafuna spoke very quickly in staccato Swahili.
“She says the Popo Bawa is not much older than she is. When her father was a young man, there was no Popo Bawa, and there were no attacks. He is a young monster.”
Fedha interrupted, patting Ayize on the arm as he spoke.
With a nod to the older man, Ayize turned to Gus and said, “He wants me to tell you the name Popo Bawa, it means ‘Bat Wing,’ but the Popo Bawa is not a bat at all. Popo Bawa takes many forms, some human, some animal.”
“Why does he attack people?” Gus asked the father and daughter.
Ayize translated. “Nobody knows why. He does not explain his actions to his victims. He simply attacks and departs.”
Gus scrawled their responses in his notebook. Their answers were familiar. Everyone they’d interviewed seemed to have the same impression of the creature.
“What did the Popo Bawa look like?” Gus asked.
Fedha and Nafuna looked blankly at one another before gazing back at Ayize. They both spoke at once.
