TARASHA
* Episode 5*
‘But the security men have been killed already,
who else was on duty?’
‘No the two security men that was killed
yesterday were not the ones on shift that night’
‘Oh! I see, do you know how we can reach
them?’
‘No, I have no relationship with them, we only
greet when resuming and vacating the office’
‘I think its enough already’ the Doctor
interrupted as he walked in. ‘He needs rest’
‘It’s okay’ James replied the Doctor and stood
up, he turned back to the injured man.
‘We’re really sorry for what has happened and
we promise to get to the root of this as soon as
possible. Thank you for your cooperation, we’ll
contact you as soon as we need your help
again, I wish you a quick recovery’ he said and
walked out of the ward with the other officer.
‘But what do you think that hoodlums would
want in a beverage warehouse?’ James asked
his colleague as they proceeded out of the
hospital to their car.
‘I don’t know, I think the best people to give us
the answer would be the security men on duty
that night’ he answered.
‘Okay, what you would do now is to go back to
the warehouse and check their logs, we need to
get those men’ James instructed. ‘I believe they
know about the incident’
‘Ok, I’ll just go straightaway sir’
‘Good, we also have to be on the lookout for the
manager Mr. Felix, there are still no signs of
him everywhere’
**11am
‘Tarasha! ‘ Chief Gab called out immediately the
call was answered.
‘Hello Chief’ she replied in a cheerful voice.
‘Tarasha! How come you went that far on a little
issue?’
‘Was that Chief?’ She asked mockingly. ‘Or have
you seen my gift?’
‘Tarasha, you shouldn’t have gone that far. I
was going to send the money to you’
‘Alright’ she answered more seriously now. ‘I
should get the alert in the next fifteen minutes
else your daughter would be in danger too’
‘No o, Tarasha. Don’t try that at all, that would
be big trouble for you’ the Chief tried to sound
brave.
‘You’re the one who shouldn’t try me Chief,
send the money within fifteen minutes after this
call ends’
‘Okay, I will see what I can do’
‘Huh?’
‘I said I’ll see what I can do’
‘Don’t play pranks Chief, if you think you can
move your child out of the school and stop me
from reaching her, then you better think twice
because I can already see that your men are
outside the school gate and there’s no way
they’ll escape me’
‘What!’ The Chief was in shock. ‘How did you
know that?’
‘Let me get the alert quickly’ She said and
ended the conversation.
The Chief was in panic as he dropped the
phone. He wondered how Tarasha knew that he
had already sent men to safeguard his
daughter. He wasted no time as he picked up
his tablet device and transferred the remaining
balance of ten million naira to Tarasha’s
account and called her immediately to notify
her.
‘I just sent the money’
‘Good, I received the message alert already’ she
replied him.
‘So is my daughter free now?’
‘Of course, I have nothing to use her for’ she
said with a chuckle.
‘Okay, we need to see. I have some other jobs
for you and I need to explain to you personally’
‘We’ll see on Skype’
‘Huh? I need to meet with you, I need to see
who I’m working with’
‘I don’t think there’s any need for that, we see
on Skype already, isn’t it?’
‘But you’re always wearing a mask to hide your
face’
‘No, that’s my face you see; that’s Tarasha’s
face’ she added.
‘What do you mean?’ Chief Gab questioned.
‘The face behind that mask doesn’t have any
business to do with you’ she said with a strict
voice.
‘I …’
‘If you don’t mind Chief, I’ve got some other
things to do’ she interrupted him and ended the
call.
‘D--n’ he cursed as he put down the phone. He
held his jaw with his hand, remembering how he
had been told to deal with her carefully.
He was calm after reminding himself that he
couldn’t get angry with Tarasha now, he still
needed her in the work he had to do; his
revenge mission.
He recalled his younger days as the minister of
marketing and sales before he was sentence to ten years imprisonment for drug trafficking and mismanagement of country fund
