Tarasha - Season 3 - Episode 126

~~^~~~^^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They drove in silence for a while and Cole kept glancing at Tarasha’s face from time to time. She closed her eyes after some minutes and Cole suddenly became worried, thinking she had sank into unconsciousness. He shook her gently and she opened her eyes again, this time she was able to move the eyeballs. Cole smiled, reassured of her consciousness and allowed her rest when she closed her eyes again.

Dave dropped back into the compound after taking out the last man. He turned back to see the building in the compound in which he was in now. He couldn’t tell what the building was used for as he could only see the side and the back from the backyard where he was. He tucked his gun into his pocket and began to walk forward hurriedly.
He met some people discussing something serious at the front of the building. They all had disturbed looks on their faces and were all turned towards the building where he had jumped down from, he knew they were discussing about the sounds of gunshots that had filled the air.

They all shifted back in surprise and some ran back inside on seeing him. He took out his gun to display it and scare them more as he headed for the gate. The rest of the people ran into the building and shut the doors behind. Dave looked back once more and discovered that the building was a fashion designing outfit. He hurried out of the compound through the gate, ignoring the security man who he saw peeping at him from inside their security building.
He tucked back his gun in and waited impatiently for the road to clear before he crossed to the other side of the carriageway. He took off the bandage on his head and his hand before waving down a taxi.
‘Take me down there,’ he said to the taxi man, pointing with his fingers to the direction he wanted. He took out his phone and dialed a number. ‘Lizzy, have you gone back to work?’ he said into the phone.
‘No, until four hours time.’ her voice sounded back.

‘I just took off all the stuffs you put on me, I may need a redress soon.’ Dave said.
‘You took them off, why?’
‘I’ll tell you later, something serious came up this morning. You just get ready whenever I call you, okay?’
‘Okay, Dave.’ she replied and the call ended.

A disturbed look appeared on Rex’s face after he called the Inspector General for the third time without any answer. He could see the gate where he was supposed to stop ahead of him but he didn’t want to waste any time by waiting or entering into the place, he wanted Samantha Osman body’s brought out to him.
He finally pulled up behind the police car and hurried down with a gun in his hand. He looked around the area carefully and at her cars driving by as he approached the gate. He pushed it open with his backhand with his eyes still on the road, then he entered carefully and closed the gate. He was welcomed by a scene of injured and dead bodies scattered over the place. His eyes surveyed around quickly and visited all the corners where any attacker could be hiding, he saw none. Then his gaze settled on the Inspector General’s body on the floor where the man la!d. He quickly rushed there and turned the man over.
‘Get me to the hospital quickly Rex,’ the Inspector General pleaded in a weak voice.
Rex stared at him for some seconds without saying anything. There was no pity seen in his eyes for the man and no sign of urgency in his movement. ‘I can hear sounds of sirens approaching, some of your men will be here soon’ he finally spoke, squatting to look at the man’s face. ‘Which way did they take?’ he said, asking about Samantha and the man who came to help her.
‘He carried her out through this gate,’ Chief Rikau said, looking towards the gate. ‘A wounded man came to help them, he went over this fence not more than a minute ago, he had a bandage on his head.’
Rex rose up to his feet and wondered which of the two options he should take first. While he was still wondering, he remembered that Police officers were on their way there and he turned to go out without casting another look at the man on the floor. He hurried out and entered into his car.

‘Where are we taking her to?’ Henry asked after thirty minutes of driving in complete silence. He turned back and stared at Cole who looked like he had already fallen asleep. ‘Cole,’ he called louder this time.
Cole opened his eyes calmly and took in a deep breath. ‘Just drive straight to the base first,’ he replied, sitting up and gently adjusting Tarasha’s head which was on his laps.

‘Are you sure it is safe for us to go there?’ Henry asked, now adjusting the rearview mirror to see Cole’s face.
‘I’m not sure,’ Cole answered with a sigh.

‘You’re not sure? Why then do you ask me to drive to the base?’ Henry questioned
Cole remained silent.
‘Please say something, I need to know what direction to drive in.’ Henry urged him.
‘Do you have somewhere else to take her to?’ Cole asked with a raised eyebrow.
Henry was silent for some seconds. ‘No, I don’t.’
‘Then drive straight to the base.’
‘But what if someone is following us?’
‘If someone is following us, shouldn’t that be the more reason we should drive to the base?’ Cole sniffed. ‘The base is the only place we’ll have a upper hand against anyone for now. And let’s pray we don’t come across police officers on the way, they’re going to give us some troubles , the day is already bright.’
‘Then how do we make sure Omotara gets quick medical attention?’ Henry asked another question, his eyes meeting with Cole’s in the rearview mirror.
‘That will be yours to bother about, I appear to be the one who needs quick medical attention here, I have a bullet in my back.’ Cole complained with groans as he adjusted his back against the seat.
Henry stared at him pitifully and heaved a sigh.
‘I know a nurse who used to treat Don’s boys in Abuja, we have a medical lab in the base, you could get her in to attend to us.’ Cole said.
‘But will you be able to hold it before she arrives?’
‘It depends on how fast you are, I can get myself first aid to keep my alive before she comes.’ Cole replied.
‘We should get there in the next seven minutes,’ Henry said before turning into another road.
