TARASHA
EPISODE35A
He turned back to attempt a last
attack on Tarasha but she ran the dagger into
his neck, his blood spilled on her face and into
her mouth as she removed the dagger and the
man fell down lifeless, his blood gushing out
profusely.
Her eyes was full of pity and remorse as
Stanley fell, his head sidewards with his tongue
out. But it wasn’t over yet, she still had to cut
off his neck and take it out to the boss. She
trembled as she knelt down to disjoin the head
from the neck.
Tears had stopped dropping from her eyes by
the time she was carrying the head out of the
cage, she had lost every pity for the man
already. She couldn’t have pity anymore, she
wasn’t created to be with emotions.

‘It’s okay Chief, I don’t really need to know ‘
Tarasha said, getting up from the seat.
Chief Gab turned to face her, he began with so
much aggression. ‘All of them are cheats and
betrayals, they turned against me and stabbed
me at the back’
Tarasha shook her head in a way as if to signify
that she was unconcerned anymore but the
man continued.
‘Several years ago, I and Jubril used to do
business together with some other top citizens
of the country. The truth is that most of our
businesses were illegal’
The man paused and coughed, he fixed his
gaze on Tarasha before he continued.
‘Everything changed when Retired Gen Mubarak
Baruwa was about to come into government
fifteen years ago, everybody was scared of him
because of his relentless fight against
corruption. Luckily for Jubril and some other of
my associates, they got close to their new
President and became his close workers. We
held a crucial meeting immediately after the
President was sworn in and we concluded that
we needed to stop our illegal deals, but there
was still one hanging; we had a fake drugs
consignment that we needed to clear’
Chief Gab’s loud ringtone disrupted the
conversation, he quickly ended the call and
switched off the phone.
‘I was told to handle the last deal’ Chief went
on, ‘but unknown to me and Onwuli my friend
who was also not close to the new President
like me. The others had planned to implicate us
in order to gain favour from the President. All
the deal’s document were released by them to
the police force, I was caught and sentenced to
ten years imprisonment. Onwuli was murdered
with the whole of his family when he tried to
fight for me’
‘I came out of prison ten years later and found
out that these people are now well celebrated
in the country, I tried to fight back legally but I
discovered that all documents that could
implicate them had been hidden. I threatened to
speak with the press but I had to shut up as
they caused me more pain, my wife and first
son were murdered the next day’ Tears began
to drop off the man’s eyes, he returned to
where he was previously seated and cleaned
his face with an handkerchief. He waited for
Tarasha to also sit before he went on.
‘Only Chief Nonso came to my rescue, he was
one of the beneficiaries of Onwuli’s wealth, so
he helped me when I was in prison and even
more when I came out. He made me to
understand that Onwuli had made him promise
before his death that he would help him fight if
anything happens to him’
‘I can’t rest until I see these evil men reap the
harvest of their deeds. Since the law can’t do
it, then I have to do it my way’ he concluded
and stared at Tarasha as he cleaned off his
again.
She didn’t say a word, she only picked her
glasses and put them on before walking out of
his presence. If the man was hoping to evoke
pity in her, then he had failed. She wasn’t
moved by his tears, she only had to do her job;
the only thing she was bred for, killing.
**9pm**
Cole and Benny came out of the car after
parking it in front of a shop just before getting
to the T-junction. They both stared at the
abandoned warehouse some metres before
them. That was the warehouse Don had sent
them to after Tarasha had attacked and
collected a particular package from two of the
Nanl Gang members that had been sent on an
assignment. The warehouse was abandoned
after the sudden attack which involved them
killing all the workers.
‘Let’s get closer and look for a way to get in’
Cole said, looking around to see if anyone was
watching them.
‘We have to come back or wait till it’s midnight’
Benny replied, stopping Cole by placing a hand
on his shoulder. ‘it’s not advisable we go in
now’
‘We’ll wait’ Cole said, ‘I’m sure that it will be a
very good place. It’s very big’
‘We need to find out what they do in the
neighbouring compounds too’ Benny said, ‘and I
think we’ll need use of that hotel by the side’
he pointed to a multiple storeyed building that
was only separated from the warehouse by a building in the middle.
'If we can get a room at this side's Cole explained with his hands, referring to the rooms by the right side of the hotel whose windows would give them a good view of the warehouse.
'No wasting of time anymore, let's go back home and get our tools ready'.
