TARASHA
EPISODE 37C
his office. She almost bumped into the
computer operator who was about to enter the
superintendent’s office.
‘Sorry’ the operator apologized with a brief
smile.
‘It’s okay’ she said and made her way to leave.
‘Are you going to join inspector James?’ He
asked
‘Yes’ she answered and turned back impatiently,
wanting to hear if he had any information that
may be useful.
‘The cameras are up already, I think you need
to see something before leaving’ He said and
pushed her arm gently, trying to motion her
towards the computer room.
‘No’ she refused, ‘Inspector James wants the
backup immediately and I’m going there now’
‘I’ve given commands for more backup already
and they are on their way’ the operator
continued. ‘I need someone working on this
case with the inspector to monitor with me
because the cameras are not working fine yet’
‘You can communicate with me if there’s
anything I need to know’ she said as she
walked away hurriedly. ‘I’m going there now’
‘Okay, good luck’ he said as he watched her
leave. The cameras were not working properly
yet and he wasn’t sure that the videos would
be stored in their database, that was why he
wanted her to monitor with him.
‘Sir, the location has changed’ his Junior’s voice
startled him.
‘Huh? For how long?’ He questioned.
‘About ten minutes ago’
‘Ten minutes ago?’
‘Yes sir’
‘Are you crazy? Why are you just reporting
now?’ He blasted as he followed behind the
junior.
++++++++
Another bullet hit Tarasha’s back as she made
her way to enter the police van. She threw a
grenade in James’ direction to distract him
before starting the engine.
The van was driven off as James jumped down
from the sonata and it blazed off in flames.
He felt as if his legs were broken as he landed
in pains, he still managed to turn back to see
the direction that Tarasha was taking. He laid
flat on the floor as sounds of police sirens drew
closer. His phone rang.
‘The direction has changed, they’re on the way
to Lekki’ a voice came through.
James was to weak to respond, he closed his
eyes and turned his head to the left to spit out
first. He opened his eyes a minute later to find
Sandra standing by his side.
‘Are you okay sir?’ She asked with concern in
her voice.
‘Yes’ he said, only audible to himself. Other
officers came down from their vehicles to
check the injured ones. A call ordering for
ambulances was made to the headquarters.
‘That way, she went that way’ James managed
to say, pointing in the direction Tarasha took.
‘Call the fire service’ Sandra ordered a junior
officer, as she stared at two cars in flames.
The driver of the car that was beside the police
vehicles had fled when he heard the first
gunshot and he couldn’t reverse the car
because of other cars who were coming to join
them. His Lexus was also affected by the
explosion from the grenade.
Sandra walked back into the car and led the
police vans in pursuit of Tarasha after making
sure that James was being taken care of. She
maintained contact with the computer operators
and they gave her directions to where Aisha
Bello was.
+++++++
Cole’s phone rang just when they were few
centimetres away from the gate of the house.
He glanced at the screen and saw the caller ID.
He quickly parked at one side and answered
the call.
‘Boss’
‘Where are you?’ Tarasha’s voice came through
‘At home, we’re about driving in’ Cole replied.
‘Don’t drive in, meet me at Obalende. I’ll give
you more directions later’
‘Boss’ Cole said in a pleading manner. ‘I’m not
sure we can get there, Benny has a bullet in his
arm and Aisha is also badly injured. We’ll get
into trouble with the police’
‘Okay’ Tarasha said after letting out an audible
sigh, ‘Just keep driving, drive to anywhere you
think is safe. I’ll meet you there, don’t just stay
at the house’
‘Okay Boss’
‘And one more thing’ Tarasha said in a sudden
manner, ‘throw away Aisha’s phone. Now.’
‘Okay’ Cole responded, his eyes widened as he
nodded his head in agreement.
‘Take out Aisha's phone' he said to Benny who was already waiting for him to relay the details of the call.
Benny obeyed without any argument, he searched through Aisha's bleeding body and brought out the phone. 'Throw it outside the car' Cole said to him.
Benny flung it out at once without asking the questions in his mind.
Cole drove off from that point and continued in a forward direction, Benny was forced to speak up now.
'Where are we going to?' Benny asked in a loud voice.
'Boss says we should not stop here' Cole answered.
'Why?'
'I don't know, but I think she sees danger coming '.
'Does she know i'm injured and that Aisha needs treatment immediately?' Benny questioned furiously, he was feeling great pains in his arms. He took a glance at Aisha who was unconscious already and spoke again. 'I don't think Aisha is going to make it'
Cole looked back to check Aisha too, 'there's still hope' he says.
'I don't just understand all these' Benny complained bitterly.
