Action thriller :-Tarasha Season1 Episode 46a


Tarasha
Episode 46a

She clenched her fists and opened her eyes, it was bloodshot. A phone call distracted her.
'Good morning Miss Evelyn' came Jubril Lawal's cheerful voice.
'Good morning sir' Tarasha managed to sound calm.
'How are you?' Jubril asked.
'I'm fine sir, how about you?'
'I'm doing great Miss. I spoke with your father this morning and we had a pleasant conversation. I'll like for us to meet and conclude the deal terms'
'Oh! Okay. When can I come to meet with you?'
'Let's make it tomorrow morning, 9am prompt'
'That's okay sir'
'Good, we'll see tomorrow. Take care'
'You too.' With that the line went off.
Tarasha got up and wiped off the sweat forming on her forehead. She began to take off her ruffled gown slowly. Henry's calm voice sounded in her head again.
** Flashback**
~~ December 20, 2020 ~~
'Tarasha, Tarasha' A voice sounded in whispers through the window. Tarasha's eyes popped open, it was Marvin calling her.
She rolled down from the hardwood quietly and buckled her bra well. She sniffed and began to tiptoe carefully in a bid not to wake the other occupants of the room.
She shivered as the door creaked while she tried to open it. She turned to see if anyone was woken by the noise but no was awake, only a few itchings and turns, she proceeded outside slowly, careful not to make any other sound. Marvin had turned from the window side to the door.
'Come' she grabbed Marvin's hand and they ran behind the lodge to a hidden place.
'Tara' Marvin who was bare chested and was covered with a torn towel-like material called her name softly.
'Yes?' Tarasha urged him, already getting impatient, staring around from time to time to see if anyone was coming.
'Tarasha' he called again.
Tarasha stopped to stare into his eyes. He never called her full name except that was something really very serious. 'What happened?'
'I've come to say goodbye to you' Marvin began. 'I may not have the opportunity to say it anymore'
'What? Goodbye? Where are you going to?' Tarasha bombarded him with questions.
'I'm not going anywhere. I may die tomorrow' He said in a sad tone. 'I overheard our Tent Lord saying that there would be a zonal bloodbath tomorrow and they plan to eliminate fifteen weak ones'
Tara stretched out her hand and touched his face. 'Fifteen weak ones? But that has nothing to do with you, with us'
'Tarasha' he removed her hand from his face. 'Let us be real, don't let us pretend as if I'm strong'
'You're strong Marvin, you can scale through'
'No, I'm not strong' Marvin argued. 'We all know that I only managed to escape death the last time. Now it's here' Marvin said as he turned his back on Tarasha.
'No, you won the battle, you didn't manage' Tarasha turned back his body to face her. 'And you are stronger now'
Marvin stared into the darkness for a moment, tears formed in his eyes. 'Tara, I'm not scared to die. I'm scared of leaving you. Ain't we even dead already. I think it's better we die before these people finally turn us to animals who kill without thinking'
'Don't we kill without thinking already?' Tarasha asked him.
'I kill on orders and I feel remorse for every time I had to do it' a tear dropped off his eyes as he spoke. 'But the Nefary clan is not comfortable with that, they are taking us to the level of killing without feeling any remorse. Imagine, they made you kill your friend, the cook.'
Tarasha sighed and turned away. 'I had no choice, I had to do that. He was already changed into a beast too'
'I know but they're going to make us do more. I heard that they do send some inmates to murder their families'
'Do we have families?' Tarasha turned suddenly to ask him.
Marvin was about to answer her when they heard a noise coming towards their direction.
'We have to go now' Marvin's eyes shone in panic as he peeped to see who was coming. He quickly grabbed Tarasha's hand and they hurriedly tiptoed away.
* Next day
Tarasha could hear the loud chants of male as thirty of them girls were led into the "Hardness hall". The boys were already beenbeen lectured in the hall.
The hall was a very large one, it was made of thick brick high walls. It had no widows in it but was unroofed. The floor was made of natural rock, hard, cold during evening and early mornings but hot in the afternoon.
'Love is a sin committed by weak people and it makes them weaker. Any object of love that is found beside you has to be eliminated' the voice in the thick Russian accent continued to shout. 'The day you start to love someone is the day you start to die'
Tarasha could spot Marvin where he stood, blindfolded. He was number two on the line in his group. That meant that he was the second person to battle. Tarasha looked around trying to locate Marvin's likely contender but before she could, the tent lord had already returned to blindfold her and the other girls. The girls were later arranged on two line but none of them knew their position on the line.
The battle was to take place in a cage and the enemy was not known until they got into the cage.
The first battle began and the first two fighters were sent in. Shouts and groans were what notified the other young assassins that the battle had begun.
After about ten minutes, the first battle ended and a winner with a bruised face emerged. Then the first set of girl fighters were sent into the cage. After another ten minutes, another winner emerged.
Then it was Marvin's turn. Tarasha knew it, she had seen him stand in the second position on the line. But she didn't know his contender until she felt a  hand on her shoulder. She was then dragged and pushed into another section. Her blindfold was taken off and she found herself in the cage with Marvin. Several fighting weapons laid on the floor for their use. The bell rang for the battle to begin.
... to be continued.

He further stated that the board has the intention of releasing the results of the 2017 May/June WASSCE, within 60 to 65 days.

He equally revealed that the council is looking at even reducing the waiting time to 45 days in the next two tears.

When asked if this is die to JAMB’s insistence that candidates should make their WASSCE results available as prerequisite for admissions, the HNO said that it was not meant to address any issue.

2017 JAMB UTME mock exam holds in 2weeks.


 JAMB will be ready to conduct the 1st ever UTME Mock Exam on Saturday, 8th April, 2017. This was confirmed from the Official 2017 UTME Registration Details released by JAMB.

After you have indicated your interest to take the UTME Mock Exam, You will have to wait until you have received a message to tell you what centre you will write the UTME Mock Exam.

You will also need to make a payment of N700 to the CBT centre, in order for you to take the UTME Mock Exam.

Update:- Doctor Who stabbed his mother to death.


Cletus, one of the older brothers of  Emmanuel Ogah, the medical doctor who stabbed their 59-year-old mother, Janet, to death penultimate Thursday, has revealed that his younger brother (Emmanuel) graduated from the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, in 2007.

But he said due to ‘depression relapse’ he suffers occasionally, he went for his one year national youth service in 2016, nine years after.

Cletus revealed that Emmanuel was 27 years then when he graduated, having been a brilliant student.

He said all the seven children of their late mother are graduates and four of them graduated from ABU. Cletus said he read Chemical Engineering.

He said Emmanuel did well in his secondary school certificate result and scored well over 4 points in Cumulative Grade Point Average when he graduated in Medicine from ABU in 2007.

He said, “He made 4.38 as his CGPA at ABU.

While Cletus said it was true that he suffered ‘depression relapse’ on some occasions, he said the family had taken him to certain psychiatric facilities for medical intervention in Kaduna, Kano, Lagos and Uyo.

He said, “We noticed the problem of depression in him in 2008, when he was doing his housemanship. He was reported to have spoken rudely to his superiors.

“He was sent away from that place. Again, in subsequent years, he went to some other places for the housemanship, the same thing happened.

“We took him to the Psychiatric Hospital at Yaba, Lagos in 2014 where he was receiving treatment and doing his housemanship.

“Eventually he completed it at this place, but he was still asked to go and serve the one year national service, because they said he was 27 when he graduated from ABU. That was what he was doing at Jigawa State, when he returned last Wednesday and he killed our mother on Thursday.”

On that fateful day, Emmanuel, who was believed to be under some ‘forces’ controlling him, knifed their mother to death at her restaurant located along Lafenwa-Itele Road, Aparadija in Ado Odo/Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State.

He did not kill the mother in their residence on Number 16 Ololade Lateef Street, Aparadija, Lafenwa-Itele, as earlier reported.

The picture of the corpse which had gone viral on the social media was gory enough. Emmanuel disembowelled the mother, and gave her other deep cuts on the face and neck.

Also the video of his ‘detention’ inside burglar proof section of the restaurant after he had done the havoc, did not portray him as being coherent in all the questions put to him on why he killed the mother.

Cletus, who said he got to the scene two hours after Emmanuel had killed their mother, said he(Emmanuel) was still being ‘detained’  in the shop, when he arrived.

He said when he jabbed him and asked him why he killed their mother, he suddenly became remorseful, saying he never knew what came upon him.

He said, “When I arrived our mother’s restaurant two hours after the incident, Emmanuel was still being held inside the shop, I moved closer to him, jabbed him twice and asked him: ‘why did you kill our mother?’ All he could say was ‘brother, I did not know what happened, brother I did know what happened’ and he started crying.

“Then he began to say some incoherent things.

“I believe there were ‘some forces’ at work on him. Because from the responses, it seemed that he came to his senses suddenly and showed remorse. Emmanuel neither smoked nor drank alcohol. I had taken him out on some occasions.”

Cletus said their mother was a loving mother who supported her husband, Bernard Ogah, now a retired soldier to train all of them.

He recalled, “I could remember in my own case, my mother plaited hair for people in the barracks to raise money and supported in paying my school fees then while I was in ABU.

“My mother gave her all to her children.”

A service of songs was organised for her on Thursday in front of her former shop, where her virtues were celebrated.

Pastor Femi Samuel said, “Mama was quite accommodating and she was always smiling.

“She was a giver. If you came to the restaurant, you would eat whether you have money or not.”

One of her neighbours, Stephen Gyamfi described her as a “mother well loved by those who knew her.”

The landlord of the house where she had her restaurant, Mr. Eddy, who said the deceased rented the shop from him in February 2016,  described her as a nice and easy going person.

Eddy said he had only seen Emmanuel once at the mother’s restaurant. “I only saw him once, and that was sometime last year. He was clutching a travelling bag and the mother told me that’s her son. Then he was going for the national service as a youth corp.”

The remains of the late Mrs. Janet Ogah have since been taken to her village, Agila,via Oturkpo in Benue State, on Friday for burial.

Meanwhile, Emmanuel is still being held at the homicide section of the Ogun State Police Command headquarters, Abeokuta.

EPISODE 45D


...........
9.15 am
Henry dialed Evelyn's phone number for the thirtieth time that morning,  it was still switched off. He rested his back into the office seat and loosened his tie.
His mind had been unsettled since the last night when she left his apartment. He had driven after her in a bid to catch up with her on the street and drive her home but she wasn't found, she just disappeared into thin air.  He began to feel guilty and wasn't going to forgive himself if anything happened to her.
He stared at his phone, confused about what to do. He thought of going back to the hotel to ask about her but he had only little information about her. The only thing he knew was her first name.
He got up and took off his suit jacket and hung it on the rack by the wall after which he began to pace around the office. The landline on his table rang.
'Hello.' He answered the call.
'Hello Mr Henry' Sylvester's voice came through. 'I'm sending someone to you office right now, he has a job for us and I think only you can handle it well'
'Okay... Send him in' Henry replied after a brief moment of hesitation.
'Right away' the went off.
Henry put another call through to his secretary after putting back on his jacket and knotting his tie. 'Hello, someone is coming from Mr Sylvester now, please send him as soon as he gets there'
Someone pressed the bell two minutes later. 'You may come in' Henry answered.
A tall dark man in a black suit walked in smiling. He looked like someone in his early forties. Henry rose to greet him.
'Good morning sir' Henry stretched his hand to shake him.
'Good morning Mr Henry, I'm Debo Ola' the Man introduced himself as he took the handshake.
'I'm pleased to meet you sir, please have your seat' Henry motioned him.
'Thank you' the man settled down.
'Yeah, Mr Sylvester said you have a job for us'
'Yes' the man replied, pushing a paper forward on the table. 'Here is it'
Henry picked it up to look at it. 'This is a mobile number. Canadian right?'
'Yes, Canadian. It has the Canadian code but we're doubting the authenticity. That's why I've come to you' Debo replied.
'What's the reason for the doubt?' Henry asked and began to scribble the number into a notepad. 'I mean it looks authentic to me'
'It's the number of one of our invisible business partners' Debo explained. 'We need to verify if we're discussing with the right person or someone is just playing tricks with us'
Henry gave him a stern look. 'But do you know that this is illegal? You're asking for confidential details of someone which shouldn't be released'
The man dipped his hand into his suit inner pocket and brought out his ID card. 'I'm a private investigator approved by the government' he displayed the card to Henry.
'Okay then, just a minute.' Henry turned to his computer after confirming the man's identity.
After seven minutes, he turned back to the man. 'The number is really Canadian but I've not been able to verify the owner'
'Okay. But is it possible?'
'Yes, it is. I only need to get data from the network bearer in Canada. It may take us sometime and cost us some money'
'How long will it take?' The man enquired.
'Three days should be okay' Henry replied with so much positivity. 'As far as the authorities cooperate and provide us what we request for'
'Okay, how much will it cost?'
'Five hundred thousand naira should do'
'Five hundred thousand?' Debo looked surprised.
'Yes' Henry replied unperturbed. 'We would be charged by any of their authorities we pass through'
'But it's kind of much'
'It's okay' The man said, dipping his hand into his bag. He brought out his cheque book and began to write in it.
'I should write it payable to who?' The man asked after signing.
'Ermm... I think Mr Sylvester would handle that'
'Alright.' Debo returned the cheque book and pen into his bag.
'Is there any other thing left?' Henry asked.
'Nothing, I only want to be assured that we'll get the report in three days'
'You will, I assure you'
'Okay.' Debo rose to his feet. 'I have to go now'
'Alright' Henry rose too and shook hands with the man again.
'Thank you Mr Henry'
'You're welcome.' With that Debo walked out of the office.
Henry sat back into his chair and stared at the number on his notepad for a while. He wanted to begin work on it but he felt restless. His thoughts immediately drifted back to Evelyn. Without much thinking again, he grabbed his car key and proceeded out of the office.
............
9.20am
A police Hyundai sonata parked right beside the cameras security office. A young officer came out of the car thirty seconds later and proceeded to the gate. He met the security man in charge.
'Good morning sir' the young officer greeted.
'Good morning officer' the security man answered.
'I'm Officer Paul from Division A' he said, displaying his ID card. 'I want to know if there's any Henry working in this organization'
'I'm sorry Inspector, I don't have the right to release such information'
The young officer laughed. He dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out a card. 'Why are you hiding a criminal? We found his national ID card in a crime scene yesterday' he displayed the card to him.
The security man opened his mind in shock. 'Yes, we have one and that's him. He's inside'
'No, we don't want to arrest him now. We want to trace him to his accomplices' the young officer tucked in the card into his pocket. 'What kind of car does he use?'
'He has different cars but he brought a blue Honda accord today'
'When does he close from work?'
'Four O'clock'
'Okay, here's our number' the officer handed a card to the security man. 'Please call us anytime he's leaving this premises'
'No problem, I will'
'We're watching you, don't try to aid his escape.' The young officer warned with a crooked smile before he turned and returned to the car. He was satisfied that he could put fear in the older man's heart. He got into the back seat where Afo was also sitting down, dressed in the police uniform also.
'How did it go?' Afo asked.
'Fine, the man's gonna call us. He says Henry uses a blue Honda'
'Did he notice anything about the fake national identity card and was the picture correct?'
'He couldn't have noticed anything and the picture is the right one. I sent it to Dare for confirmation after I downloaded it from Facebook'
'Good' Afo applauded after which he picked up his phone and dialed a number.
'Hello... Has the girl come out of the hotel at all?'
........
9.20am
Evelyn finally got up from the bed after what seemed like the longest night she had had in several years. She stood up and stretched, she felt a little at peace than she did the last night. The only thing that still kept the event still fresh in her brain was a sharp headache she felt. She clenched her teeth as she walked to the window and opened the blind.
A strange anger against herself was welling up as her head continued to bang. It was wrong for her to feel headaches. It had been ten years ago she had one, at least not one that made her feel as terrible as this. She was sure that it was a result of the emotional stress she went through the last night. But how did the emotions return, she thought they had died long ago?
She couldn't describe what she felt when Henry spoke with her. Her mind raced back to the feeling she had when she stared into his eyes as he narrated his story. She had tried to deny the feeling before but she felt it again now as she remembered the faint glow in his eyes.
She rebuked herself and turned away from the window, she was not supposed to be thinking of him, a total who was only going to be used in the course of her operation. The only right thing for her to think about was the operation.
She suddenly remembered her phone as she sat back on the bed. She quickly looked for the bag she went out with the last night and picked it out. It was switched off.
'Damn!' She cursed. It was supposed to be always on as she was expecting a call from Jubril Lawal.
The first three messages that entered when the phone came on were from MTN, her network bearer. The fourth message was from Henry. She closed her eyes and dropped the phone as she saw his name. His face popped up in her mind again.
Wait! Did she tell him the story of her family's massacre? How did he get her to do so?
She clenched her fists and opened her eyes, it was bloodshot. Her phone call distracted her.

EPISODE 45C

**PRESENT**
Tarasha wiped her face with her handkerchief as she relayed her story to him. Henry moved closer and drew her body nearer to his. He engaged her in a  tight hug as tears dropped off his eyes too.
'You had such a bad past, I'm sorry for bringing back those memories' he said as placed a  hand on her back. 'But God can help you forgot those memories and focus on the future'
Evelyn moved her  head from his chest and stared into his eyes angrily. She gradually removed herself from his grip and got up in a hurry.
'I'm sorry, but I was just saying the truth.' He stood up, watching as she put on her shoes hurriedly. 'Look, you can't blame God for what some evil men did'
She proceeded towards the door without paying attention to him anymore. He followed after her and held her bag to stop her. She turned to look into his face.
'I don't know how you feel Evelyn, but I know you must feel very bad' Henry said in a calm tone. 'But God didn't send those men to your family'
'Then why didn't he save my family from them?' Evelyn screamed as she dragged her bag from him. 'Why didn't he save us from them?'
Henry stood speechless for a moment and watched as she barged out of the house and hurried away.
'Let me drive you home' he shouted and followed after her again when he regained himself. She has walked away into the darkness already.
+++++++++
8am, next morning
Jubril Lawal had just walked into his office with his personal assistant when his phone began to ring. His P.A handed the phone to him. The call was from an international number.
Jubril settled into the swivel before answering the call. 'Hello'
'Hello Mr. Jubril' a mixed kind of accent was used to answer him. 'How are you doing today sir?'
'I'm fine. May I know who's on the line ....'
'Oh! Pardon me. I thought you were expecting my call. I'm Alexander Amaechi, director, AA Ltd Canada' the voice came bolder.
'Oh! Good morning Mr Alex' Jubril spoke cheerfully. 'I wasn't expecting the call so early'
'Oh! I prefer to do it early if it's business' the caller said a chuckle. 'My daughter told me about your discussion with her and I showed interest in speaking with you directly, she gave me your mobile number'
'Yes, she told me that I should expect a call from you'
'Good. I started a little research about you from the day she told me about your company' the man continued in his baritone voice. 'I'm a Nigerian myself' there was a pause.
'But I was a little bit disturbed when she told me about coming to Nigeria for the cotton business. It's not easy to do business with Nigerians nowadays especially when it's a Young person. I didn't want her to fall into wrong hands'
'I understand' Jubril replied with a smile. 'I had a little research about you too, I wanted to be sure of what I'm getting into'
'Well... I believe you're the right man. I'll be speaking to her from time to time. The monies needed for any transaction would be transferred from the AA account at any time'
'Okay, you agreed to fund her deal'
'No, the monies we're dealing with is for her, she saved it up'
'Oh! I see'
'Yeah'
'I must commend you. You really did a great job in bringing her up, she's a very focused young lady'
'Hmm, Thank you. I'm always very proud of her'
'Good!'
'Well, I'll talk to you later '
'It's okay' Jubril said and dropped his phone. He made a signal to his P.A who motioned forward.
'Trace that number for me, find out who owns it.' He handed the phone to the P.A.
The P.A gave him a puzzled look. 'Find an expert who can do that, I didn't mean you should do it yourself' Chief Jubril fired at him.
'Okay' the P.A replied timidly after which Jubril dismissed him with a wave of the hand.

.........
8am
'How far?' Benny asked as Cole ended the call.
'Good, went as planned' Cole answered standing to his feet. 'No true caller application can detect where and who the call was from' he boasted as he walked towards the TV to switch it on.
'I trust you but I don't trust that voice disguiser, I almost recognised your voice when we tested it' Benny said.
'We tested it at a close range, it could misbehave. But you still said my voice sounded more like an older man'
'True'
'That's enough for us, the man doesn't know me before so he can't even detect any resemblance to anyone's voice.' Cole returned to the sofa.
'I believe so' Benny gave a light smile. 'Has the boss called you still?'
'No, she hasn't' Cole answered with a frown. He picked his phone from the stool. 'It's strange of her not to pick her calls, since yesterday evening'
'Hope everything is fine with her'
'Sure, nothing can be wrong' Cole sniffed as he dialed her number again. He stared at Benny. 'It's switched off now'
'Switched off? I hope nothing has gone wrong' Benny frowned.
'I'm sure she'll call us soon, don't bother your mind.' Cole concluded. He smacked his lips and rubbed his palms together as Aisha walked into the living room, he was expecting an announcement about breakfast
Aisha stared at both of them curiously, wondering why they stopped talking when she appeared. 'What are you guys hiding?'
Cole and Benny laughed in unison. 'Hiding what?' Benny asked. 'Please is breakfast ready?'
