TARASHA
EPISODE17 CONTINUE
Cole laughed loudly as he read the several
comments of the previously grieved Nigerians,
who now turned around to insult the late
minister after seeing the video of the man,
where he connived with the Lagos state
commissioner and other organizers of the
conference to defraud the federal government.
The video circulated easily and quickly without
need for special publicity since the minister’s
death news was still trending on the internet
that day. It received more than six thousand
views in less than one hour after Cole uploaded
it with a new YouTube account. Most of the
viewers were those redirected from Google
search while they surfed to find out more about
the minister’s murder.
Now the video has reached over a million views
in just five hours. Various social networks and
forums like story land(lolzz) and LindaIkeji Blog
also aided in the video spread; several
comments on these forums revealed that the
people were more shocked to discover that the
minister was corrupt than they were at his
death. Even the President’s tribute speech on
TV that evening was slightly changed to a
speech warning other government officials from
involving themselves in corrupt deals.
However, the police authorities vowed to track
down the person behind the YouTube account,
stating that they were positive that the YouTube
account had a connection with the killers. They
also encouraged that anyone who witnessed the
crime or had any useful information should
waste no time in releasing the information to
the police.
More reports on various news platforms
disclosed that the police officers accused of
carrying out the assassination were found laying
unconscious in a mechanic workshop, tests
conducted on them proved that they were
drugged. The policeman who drove the Camsol
used for the crime was later found dead in the
same car, parked at the front of an abandoned
guesthouse.
‘Cole’ Benny called, walking into the sitting room
with a bottle of beer. ‘How ya doing man?’
‘Hey, you’re back’ He placed his tablet device on
the table and sat up. ‘Where have you been?’
‘Around town man, remember Boss says we can
flex if we want to. She only warned us to be
careful’ Benny replied, he sat on another chair
close to Cole and bent to take off his shoes.
‘Where’s Aisha?’
‘She’s gone out, she’ll be back tomorrow
morning’ Cole answered, standing up to take the
beer. He walked up to the mini bar in the sitting
room to pick a cup.
‘She’s gone out?’ Benny asked like he didn’t
hear the first time.
‘Don’t worry Benny, your food has been
prepared’ Cole laughed as he took a sip. ‘I know
that’s what you’re worried about’
‘Better’ Benny’s face brightened up, he stood up
and picked his shoes.
‘I’m thinking of hitting the club tonight, are you
in?’ Cole inquired.
‘What kind of question is that?’ Benny gave him
a funny look, he glanced at Cole’s phone ringing
on the table. ‘You know I’m always in’
Cole walked to the table and picked up his
phone with his left hand, the cup of beer was in
the right hand.
‘It’s Boss’ he whispered to Benny before
answering the call. ‘Hello Boss’
‘Hey man, whats up with you?’ Tarasha greeted
in a friendly manner.
‘Nothing much Boss, what about you?’ Cole
replied
‘Same here, I’m just trying to get used to the
country’
‘Oh! Lagos is cool, you’ll find it lovely’
‘Maybe you should have taken me out, instead
of staying indoors all day’ she said.
‘Huh? Me? Take you out?’ He was a bit
surprised hearing her suggest that he should
take her out.
‘Isn’t that better than staying in all day like
you’re also new in the country?’ She continued.
‘Ermm…’ Cole stammered, he cleared his throat,
trying to gain more confidence. He finally did
and asked, ‘would you like clubbing tonight?’
‘Oh! Not tonight, maybe some other time’ she
turned down his offer.
‘Okay’ he replied in a low tone, disappointed.
‘Where’s Aisha?’ She demanded, ignoring the
note of disappointment heard in his voice.
‘Huh?’ The question met him unprepared, it was
her first time asking about them
'She went out' Cole answered
'Alright' Tarasha said with a concluding note.
'rest well, our job continues on Monday. Goodnight'
'Goodnight Boss' the call ended.
Cole was lost in deep fantasy for a moment, he wondered what it would have been like clubbing with Tarasha, he wondered how it will feel having her on the same bed with him.
'What did she say?' Benny's voice jolted him to reality.
'Nothing' he returned sharply. 'She only said she'll like me to take her round town next time'
'You??' Benny asked with jealousy showing in his eyes. 'I'm sure she was joking with you?'
'No man, she was serios' Cole laughed noticing the jealousy in Bennys voice. He stopped abruptly after something came into his mind, a confused look appeared on his face. 'How the hell did she know i was indoor all day?'
Benny hissed and walked away, leaving Cole to figure things out for himself.
