The breeze blew gently on her skin through the opened window as she peeped outside. The moon lit the earth brightly, working with the well lighted streets to reveal every road and blocks on the streets. Tarasha looked up at the
shining stars, they seemed to communicate something to her which she didn’t understand. She turned back into the room and glanced at the wall clock which was her only companion in
the large bedroom as the tick tock sound it
made was the only sound that could be heard in the house.
She closed the window and walked to her
planning table; she switched on the laptop and waited patiently for it to finish booting before she clicked on a folder icon on the desktop. The folder opened, revealing a Microsoft word document which she opened and began to scan through.
She stood up a minute later, obviously satisfied with the details gotten from the document. She glanced at the wall clock again; it was fifteen minutes past 1am already.
According to the information she was given to work with, the Nanl gang would move the targeted van by 3am. She walked to the drawer and bent as she
pulled it out, she didn’t think she would require a lot of instruments for this job as she was only required to pick up a carton from a van that wasn’t heavily secured. She picked out her favourite tool, a Walther PPK which she fondly referred to as “baby”, she inserted it into the pocket in her jacket with a silencer and closed
the drawer.
She picked up a small black piece
elastic material from the table and stuck it into her back pocket as she walked out of the house. In no time, she drove out of the compound and hit the main road. The road was very free as it used to be at midnight, so she got to her destination in less than ninety minutes. She parked her car at a reasonable distance from the house which was located at a T-section part of the road, in a very dark corner
on the street where she was able to get a clear view of the warehouse.
Not too long after, she could hear the sound of a vehicle engine being started, she glanced at her wristwatch, it was 2.58am. She quietly came out of the car
through the other side and hid in the darkness, looking around to be sure no one was watching her. She sat on the car bonnet, pulled out the mask from her back pocket and wore it, the mask covered only part of her face having holes that allowed her see and talk freely.
She also picked some black hand gloves from the car and put them on. At exactly 3 o’clock, the screeching sound of the opening gate was heard. Tarasha changed
her position and bent down by the side of the car as the opened gate now revealed a vehicle whose front lights shone brightly, illuminating the compound. She watched as the van was driven outside the
compound and the gate closed. She noticed that his two men seated in the van, one of them spoke as they got close to her car.
She couldn’t make out what was been said but she knew they were talking about her car as the driver looked towards her direction. After they drove a little bit far past her, she got into the car and waited for them to make a turn at the junction before she started the car engine and pursued after them. ‘Look, isn’t that the car we saw parked a by the road side now?’ The driver of the van asked after spotting the car racing after them through the side mirror. ‘Yes’ one of his companion answered him, “looks like a Lady is the driver”
‘A lady? What does she want at this time of the day?’ The driver was amazed, he made space for her car to pass beside the van. ‘I’ve got something of mine in your van’ Tarasha shouted as she already levelled up with them. “Park your van and let’s talk” ‘Are you crazy wo…’ The driver couldn’t complete his question as one of the van tyres deflated at that moment. He struggled with the steering wheel but was able to avoid an accident since the van was on a low speed. ‘What happened?’ The other guy asked the driver. ‘I don’t know’ he replied as he opened the door
and came out of the vehicle. Tarasha’s frontbcar light shone brightly into his eyes.
He was vexed and he approached the car in anger where it was parked behind them, the car light was turned off as he got closer. The Lady came out and faced the opposite side, waiting for him. ‘What on earth do you…’ A blow landed on his
face he staggered backwards, almost falling.bHe charged towards her but she dodged hisbattack and sent him another blow on hisbstomach. Tarasha held his head before hebrecovered and hit his head on the car bonnet which sent him sprawling on the floor with a
loud cry.
The other man in the car was already rushing towards her with a iron rod but she bent down making him miss his target and almost falling down. Before he could make another attempt, she sent his legs off the ground with a sliding kick that made him hit his head on the floor, after which she hit his head his head with the butt of her gun, knocking him out.
