Tarasha - Season 1 - Episode 15

The driver of the girl’s car was quick to react
and he increased the car’s speed immediately,
but unfortunately for them another jeep was
driving slowly before them, navigating in
preparation to take the u-turn centimetres away
from them. Benny leveled up and had the chance
to shoot again. He sent a bullet into the first
girl’s arm and was about to deliver a bullet to
the second girl when the car behind hit his car
violently, that made the bullet fly in a different
direction as his car swerved, narrowly missing a
speeding motorcycle.

His target car had used the opportunity to speed
off immediately. He thought of pursuing after
them but changed his mind on hearing the sound
of the police siren. He increased his speed
drastically, taking the U-turn to the return lane,
he headed for the hotel, causing commotion on
the road as he drove crazily, the police were on
his trail but far behind.

He reduced his crazy speed to the barest
minimum before he drove in through hotel gate,
he parked quickly at the garage and proceeded
into the building with his bag. He paused at the
entrance to make himself calm, he didn’t want to
attract attention to himself by rushing inside. He
smiled sheepishly in response to the
receptionist’s greeting as he entered and headed
for the elevator afterwards.

Luckily for him, he was the only one using the
elevator then so he wouldn’t have to silence
anybody. He punched in the commands for the
elevator to take him to the third floor. He
searched round the elevator and found a camera
which he destroyed with a bullet immediately. He
didn’t get out at the third floor but punched in
another command to take him to the tenth floor.
He pulled off his bag, brought out a white beard
and stuck it to his chin after removing the black
one there before, he rubbed a white liquid on his
hair that turned it grey immediately. Using a
hand towel from the bag to clean off the powder
on his face that made him lighter than he was,
he sprinkled a liquid on his face that made it
rougher. He then brought out a folded walking
stick and a rumpled long jacket from the bag
which he wore immediately; he finished just at
the same time the elevator stopped.

A couple and two young girls stepped into it,
greeting the bent old man with the walking stick
as the man smiled at them and walked to his
room slowly, supporting himself with the stick.

A group of ten policemen rushed into the hotel
building, holding their guns in readiness for any
attack. About other ten officers were also
outside in the compound, watching for signs of
the criminal. The policemen had already
ransacked the red Benz drove into the
compound by Benny, leaving the doors widely
opened.

Officer Dakolo walked to the receptionists’ stand
and displayed his ID card. ‘A criminal just walked
into your hotel, lock all your exits immediately’
He said in a command tone.
One of the receptionists in response dialed a
number on the landline and conveyed the
message to the control room. Every movement in
the hotel was stopped; those who were heading
outside had to wait at the reception.
‘We heard a gunshot some minutes ago and we
don’t know where it came from, what’s the
matter?’ a man who was the manager of the
hotel asked, looking alarmed as he approached
them from the stairs.
‘They are looking for a man who just walked in
now, he parked a red Benz outside and he was
wearing a green shirt on blue jean, he had a
black bag strapped to his back’ a security man
described.
‘I saw him, he went up now’ the receptionist who
greeted Benny spoke, she moved back and
pressed some buttons on the computer
keyboard. ‘Room 49, floor 3’ she announced to
the waiting ears of the officers.
‘Hey! Come with me’ he commanded, pointing to
four other officers, he turned to his assistant and
gave an order. ‘No one should go out from here’
He surged up through the stairs with the four
other officers to the third floor, they headed for
room 49 hurriedly, positioning themselves
strategically as they got to the door.
Dakolo landed a heavy kick on the door and it
gave way, he poured in rains of bullets into the
room but there was no response. He moved in
tactically with two guys carefully following him
searching everywhere in the room. Dakolo was
the first to notice behind the curtains that the
window was widely opened with the glass
shattered carelessly on the floor, there was a
rope tied to the bed and it passed through the
window to the backyard of the hotel.
‘The criminal is outside the hotel building,
everybody must be on guard’ Dakolo spoke into
the walkie talkie as he rushed out of the room
with his men
___
Old man Benny heard the several gunshots but
he didn’t panic, the plan of the operation already
provided for their intrusion. Tarasha already
taught him several tactics to use incase they did
show up and he was carry out one successfully.
He smiled at the old man facing him in the mirror
as he added other things to his face to complete
his disguise. He commended himself for a very
good job, feeling proud as he heard the shouts
and screams from the policemen looking for him
in and outside the hotel building. Greatly
surprised at the development of his new skills,
he praised Tarasha in his heart for teaching them
some very dangerous new techniques.
His smile changed into a frown when he
remembered something, he picked out his phone
and dialed Tarasha’s number to inform her of
something very important. He gave up after the
call was unanswered so many times.
His happiness gradually turned to fear, not fear
of the police but a fear of failure at his
operation. He wasn’t sure if he had shot the
right girl in the car. His research before the
operation didn’t reveal to him that the girl had a
twin and a very identical one at that.
