TARASHA
*****episode 6*****
in courtesy to the Chief.
‘You called for me sir’
‘Yes, I did’ Chief begun, ‘two of our guys were
killed this morning and I was told you were the
one who saw it happening live from the
surveillance cameras’
‘Yes sir, I alerted them downstairs immediately’
‘Yes, but I was told that the person left before
they got to the gate’
‘Yes, it was a Lady…’
‘Shhhh… Don’t worry’ the Chief shut him up,
standing up from his seating position. ‘Let’s go,
I want to see the video footage myself’
‘Okay sir’ Edet replied as he led the Chief to the
security room.
Chief Gab spotted himself on a laptop screen as
he entered into the room, that laptop was the
one connected to the camera in the room. He
looked around the room to check if any change
had been made to the room since the last two
months he visited. The only change he noticed
was that the room was darker than before as no
bulb was turned on and would have been
completely dark if not for the reflections of light
from the several desktop screens in the room.
He sat down and rested properly into the chair
he was motioned to and faced the desktop as
Edet tried to open some files.
‘Here’s it sir’ Edet explained as a video played.
‘She wasn’t wearing mask when she drove to
the gate, but she wore the mask before she
came out of the car; that was when I suspected
something’
‘Take it back to where she was in the car’ Chief
Gab said as he watched with great interest.
‘Here’ Edet rewinded a little, then zoomed the
video. ‘Only her jaw is visible, the rest of her
face wasn’t captured by the camera; from this
we know her skin colour’
‘Okay, play on’
‘She wore a mask and came out of the car, I
don’t know how she knew where our camera
was placed’ Edet explained as the video showed
Tarasha with her mask on, facing the camera.
She pointed to the part of the mask which
covered her forehead, showing them the name
‘Tarasha’ which was inscribed on it.
‘So we can’t get any useful information from
this?’ The Chief asked angrily.
‘We know her complexion’ Edet answered.
‘Are you crazy? Do you know how many people
in this city alone has the same complexion?’
The Chief slammed.
‘I’m sorry sir’
‘Sorry for yourself’ Chief Gab hissed and left the
room.
