TARASHA
EPISODE 40B
recent secrecy was a known fact to her. Jubril
Lawal, as if anticipating something evil had not
been seen in public places recently. His visits
to government officials and public figures had
always been in secrets.
‘Dare Lawal is a terrible womanizer and he
frequents nightclubs in the city’ Cole began,
looking straight into Tarasha eyes. ‘He visits
Oriental Club every third Friday of the month’
‘Friday is too far, we can’t wait till then’
‘Maybe we should trace him from work then’
Cole said, he got up from the seat and adjusted
his belt properly. ‘He is the CEO of his Dad’s
retailing firm here in Abuja but he doesn’t really
do anything. He closes by 4pm everyday and
most of the times chill out with friends before
heading home’
‘Going somewhere’ Tarasha responded to his
movement. ‘Does he live with his father?’
‘No, he does not but he visits his father’s house
almost every week’ Cole moved away the table
blocking his way. ‘Please excuse me, I need to
ease myself’
‘It’s okay’ Tarasha permitted. An alert note
sounded in her brain as she watched him walk
away, she was allowing him handle too much
already. She needed to confirm the information
he had given her before working with it, so as
not to run into error.
‘I brought this for you’ Aisha’s voice sounded
softly as she served Tarasha wine in a
Champagne glass. She made a little groan as
she bent to hand over the cup to Tarasha, her
belly wound had not healed completely yet.
Tarasha took the cup from her silently, she
properly scrutinized the drink first, she took
another look at Aisha’s face as if to ask if she
could trust her.
Aisha quickly looked away from those eyes
staring at her. Tarasha had the same look on
her face that day she was given a death scare.
She remember vividly how she vibrated when
Benny cocked the gun, hot urine escaped down
the bed immediately.
**Flashback **
Benny closed his eyes as he pulled the trigger.
Aisha heard the gunshot sound. Then her body
was being carried away by unknown forces, to
heaven, she thought. Not until the bed she was
laying on hit the wall, then she realized that her
bed had been rolled away before the bullet was
released and the bullet had penetrated into
somewhere else.
Cole and Benny who were surprised turned to
look at Tarasha’s face immediately, they met a
smile which made them more confused . They
could not tell the reason Tarasha acted that
script.
One of the legs of Aisha’s bed which had tyres
for easy movement had been tied with a long
rope to stop its movement. Tarasha cut the
rope when she was sure that the trigger was
going to be pulled.
Benny was about to barg out of the lab when
Tarasha spoke, he paused. ‘You would have
died if you didn’t obey, I wouldn’t have let you
live one more second’
He looked at her face for some seconds before
proceeding out of the lab, Cole followed suit.
‘You’ll remain as a cook with us but you’ll not
be able to go out as you used to do’ Tarasha
said to Aisha before leaving the lab.
Unknown to them, Tarasha had other plans. To
her, if Benny could attempt to kill Aisha on her
order, then he would do the job when she asks
him for the head of Don, his former boss.
Tarasha walked back to the living room to get
the medicines she got for Aisha. She wondered
how Benny and Cole really thought she wanted
Aisha to be killed. She wouldn’t have gotten the
drugs if she wanted the girl dead, she already
knew Aisha was wanted by the police before
she set out to get the drugs. Well, if Aisha was
killed or not, her lifespan had been cut short by
the bullets already.
** Present **
‘Thank you’ she said with a smile and took a sip
of the wine. Aisha walked away.
Benny came in few minutes later, he was
sweating and looked dusty, the harmattan
breeze had not been nice on him.
‘Good day Boss’ he greeted as he dropped a
bag carefully in front of Tarasha, beside the
table where she had her gadgets.
‘What do we have here?’ Tarasha bent to open
the bag.
‘I got all you requested for except the Walther PPK revolver' Benny answered
Tarasha hissed. 'I still have one with me I can use though' she closed the bag. 'You can take it in'
Cole walked back into the common room and met Benny, he tapped him on the shoulder.
'How far?'
'I'm cool' Benny replied as he dragged the bag away.
'What is this Boss?' Cole expressed surprise on a look at the table where Tarasha was working on. He was amazed at the speed she used to convert the bought devices to her own manufactured ones.
'This is a tracking device that can be implanted under the skin' she displayed a very tiny pill-like material to him. She raised up another one that looked like a gun, 'we use this to implant it'.
