Tarasha - Season 3 - Episode 155

…………………………………………………………………………
‘All I know about the Danjuma’s death?’ Chief Gab repeated the question, the surprise he felt could be heard in his voice.
Yes, I mean your involvement in their death.’ Tarasha replied.
‘But ermm… Tarasha, what do you need that for?’ Chief Gab asked, making it clear he was unwilling to talk about it.

‘I work to kill people for you and you should expect me to discover along the line how the victims are connected to you.’ Tarasha explained.

‘But Tarasha, I explained to you on the first day we met physically.’ the man argued. ‘I told you how we were all connected together and how they cheated and killed my family and friend, Onwuli. Did you think I was lying then?’

‘No, I didn’t think you were lying neither do I think you are now, but I just need you to give me a honest reply to my request. I do need the information and will need some others soon to be able to hunt and pull your enemy down, I’m changing the strategy I planned on using and I require more information that can bring him down.’
There was silence at the other end for a couple of seconds, then a release of breath was heard before the voice. ‘Danjuma and his wife Lydia were doctors. They got involved with us when the wife Lydia had a patient who died after taking a drug, it happened that the drug was being distributed in the country by us under the shadow of the registered company of Nnamdi Okafor, the health Minister who was the first person I sent you to. The Doctors had to help us cover up and verify the drug but they refused to. They had to leave Lagos after the troubles got too much but then they move to Borno where they were killed by the Boko Haram insurgents.’
There was a brief moment of silence after Chief Gab finished talking.
‘Are you sure that’s all?’
‘Yes or what else do you want to know?’
‘I want to know the whole truth, tell me the truth about their death.’ Tarasha said in a serious tone which sounded like a threat to Chief Gab.
‘Hmm…’ the Chief let out a deep breath. ‘The Boko Haram guys actually killed them but it was set up by us.’
‘You and who?’
‘Me? Not me,’ Chief Gab denied. ‘Actually a larger number of people in the group agreed to the plan since they posed a threat to us.’
‘And so, who gave the contracts to the killers?’ Tarasha asked.
There was another long silence.
‘Chief Elvis did, he knew someone in the Boko Haram camp.’
‘And who was that person he knew?’ Tarasha asked immediately, not giving the man any second to rest.
‘Tarasha!’
‘Yes, answer the question.’
‘This is not what I sent you.’
‘Don’t you think leaving that Boko Haram guy alive could cause problems for you later?’
‘Hmm…’ there was a short hiss. ‘The man is Inspector General Rikau. Were you the one that tried to kill him yesterday?’
‘Thank you for your answers Chief Gab, we will talk more later,’ she said and ended the call without giving him a chance to speak again.

‘Omotara, did you order for something online?’ Henry walked in asking as soon as she ended her call.
She narrowed her eyes at him, ‘Order for something online?’
‘Yes.’

‘No, I did not.’ she shook her head.
‘But there’s a lady from an online food store and their car waiting outside for us at the house on the other end.’
‘Oh!’ Tarasha let out breath from her mouth as she remembered that it was the day for the online shopping store to deliver the foodstuffs they get monthly to the house. ‘Just ignore them, I’ll change the address of the delivery soon.’

They watched from their car as the lady flipped her hair backwards, shading her eyes from the sun with the other hand. She had been at the gate for close to ten minutes now and had used the gate bell several times without getting any response from inside. She was also seen using her phone and trying to call someone but never seemed to connect successfully.

Five minutes later, she turned back and entered into the car that brought her, they stayed for five minutes more watching the gate before driving off.
Fabian started the car engine and put on his seatbelt, he turned the rearview mirror to check if the makeup Esther had done to his face was still intact. She had done it so well that no one will suspect that he was makeups, it was a perfect one for his face and skin colour. Esther was sittng right by his side in the car and also had her face made up, which wasn’t too much or strange for a lady. Fabian flashed a smile at Esther and sped onto the road like a crazy person, leaving her surprised and staring at him with her mouth agape.

‘Don’t tell me you’re going after that EasyShoppers car,’ she stared at him with her eyes opened widely.
‘What else would I be doing? That’s our best bet to get access to those guys right now,’ Fabian replied her as he turned on the trafficator.
‘Are you sure it’s the right thing to do now?’
‘Yes, it is.’ he replied firmly.
‘But then reduce your speed, you don’t have to get both of us killed because you want to catch up with them, we can always go to their stores any other time.’
‘I don’t want us to go to another branch of their office but this particular one they receive supply from.’
