TARASHA
EPISODE38B
‘You spoke to her about it on phone?’ She
asked another question
‘Yes, we were not together all through. I had to
communicate with her and Cole through phone
calls’
‘I think the call was intercepted or maybe
recorded’ Tarasha stated, she paused for a
while and bit her lips. ‘Someone else has
access to Aisha’s phone files and location,
that’s how the police got to know where you
were’
Benny and Cole exchanged glances, they
couldn’t really figure out what Tarasha was
trying to explain.
‘I had to come in and stop the police, they were
on their way to meet you where you took Robin’
Tarasha continued. ‘Someone was tracking
Aisha through the phone and providing them
with information’
‘How could that be?’ Benny muttered. It was
clear to him now that Tarasha was the one
they saw in a gun duel with the police after
driving out of the gate.
‘We still need to handle that Nigerian Inspector,
he seems a little bit competent’ Tarasha stood
up from her seat and slowly walked to the
nearest window. ‘He could give you problems
later’ she said, placing a stress on the “you”
Benny grumbled under his breath, afraid that
Tarasha would ask them to complete the task
with their injuries. Still backing them and
looking out through the window, Tarasha sensed
the fright mood of the two.
‘Don’t worry, you don’t need to go back to him
now. You can kill him anytime you want to’ she
said as she turned to face them. ‘He’s not that
hard, he couldn’t pick a good place to fire at
me, his two bullets hit my back’
‘Huh?’ Cole did not know when he stood up in
surprise . ‘Two bullets hit you?’
Tarasha smiled, ‘the bullets got stuck in the
kevlar’
‘Oh!’ Cole exclaimed softly and sat back.
Tarasha’s smiling face turned serious as she
begun an impromptu lecture. ‘As a good
gunman, two of your bullets should not get
wasted. Even if the first one does not
penetrate, you should know where to fix in the
second. He should have noticed that the first
bullet did not get into my body, he shouldn’t
have shot the same place twice. He should
have left an impact even if he didn’t kill me’ she
paused and glanced at her wristwatch like
someone rushing somewhere.
‘He didn’t try to shoot my head, although that
wouldn’t have killed me because I had a Kevlar
wig on too but it would have been a better shot’
she paused again to see get impact on them.
‘You should be able to use your eyes like a
machine, it should scan through the body of
your target like the eyes of a robot’ she said
before walking back to her seat. She moved her
gaze in a slow manner from Benny to Cole and
back to Benny.
‘You two would handle the surviving Inspector
when we return, we are traveling next week for
our new operation’

James saw several officers gathered outside as
he drove into the station. He spotted Sandra
talking to a group of officers on the left field
beside the main building.
After parking the car, he relaxed back into the
seat to rest , contrary to his plan of entering
the office to take his bag and return straight
home, he spent sometime to mediate in the
car.
Though the day had been a fruitless one, he still
had good reasons to thank God for saving his
life. Two of the foreigners were dead already
and their main Boss, Robin, who was supposed
to be the superhero was nowhere to be found.
He wondered how the news headlines would be
next day. “Robin Kahn fails to lead his men and
the Nigerian force to victory” or “Robin Kahn
leads men into Samantha’s Osman’s trap”. It
may even be ” Special Agent Robin is kidnapped
– after leading several policemen in an operation
that wasted their lives”. It would surely shock
the outside world.
How Samantha Osman or whoever the Lady on
the mask was escaped still baffled him. He was
sure that two bullets hit her at the back, he
wondered how she managed to drive away so
fast that Sandra couldn’t catch up with her and
even himself couldn’t find her in the places he
searched. Or was she wearing a proof? No, it
didn't look like she was.
'Sir' someone called, knocking on the car window. It was the computer operator, Sandra was standing at his back. They had seen his car when he drove in.
James hesitated before winding down the window. He had been through so much and didn't want to continue until the next day.
He even defiled medical advice and still went after Samantha, now his body was really aching him and all he needed was rest.
'Yinka'he managed to call the computer operators name.
'Sir, did you find anything useful?' Sandra quickly put in.
'No, you?'James directed the question back to her.
'No' Sandra answered in a low tone.
'I think we should just leave everything till tomorrow' James said as he came out of the car.
'No, we won't leave anything till tomorrow' someone objected loudly approaching them from behind. 'We will do everything we can do today'.
James looked back to superintendent, he felt like someone hit a hammer on his head.
