Tarasha - Season 4 - Episode 15

‘Rex, are you so sure about this?’ the Vice President asked with a tone of doubt. The Inspector General was seated at the same end with him and they were all in a secret room at the Inspector General’s quarters.
‘Yes, I am. You already made the decision with the board, do you want to reverse it?’ Rex asked, looking straight at the Inspector General.

‘It could still be reversed if it will not fetch any good thing. I can’t seem to forget what happened a month ago.’ Chief Rikau replied.
‘You got shot and almost killed because of your carelessness, both of you.’ Rex replied, taking glances at the both men.
‘I don’t want to talk about that anymore,’ the Vice President raised his hand in anger. ‘That’s gone and should be forgotten,’ he added, turning to the Inspector General. ‘Now we should focus on the next plan. Rex gave the idea and we’ve started the implementation already, we announced it last week and everybody including them should have heard by now. If Rex thinks it would work, I believe it would.’
‘Yea, it’s the only way I know we could trap her now.’ Rex joined in.

‘That girl and her team are intelligent, don’t you think they’ll detect any foul?’ Chief Rikau questioned Rex.
Rex let out a brief chuckle which sounded devilish. He placed his gaze on Chief Rikau for almost a minute, thinking about the man’s words. It was the most meaningful question the man had ever asked since he began to work with them and Rex wondered if the wounds he got had made him more intelligent.

‘I thought about that already,’ Rex finally replied. ‘But it’s not a direct trap for her, someone has to fall first before pulling her in.’
‘I don’t understand,’ Chief Rikau frowned.
‘You don’t really need to understand…’
‘I need to understand,’ Chief Rikau cut in. ‘I’m the one to explain to the world if anything goes wrong.’

Rex was silent for a moment. ‘In Nigeria, isn’t there a law against detention of people for so long?’

‘No one has been detained here, only her movements were restrained.’ the man argued.
‘What’s the difference in this context? Since the movements have been retained, have you made any reasonable headway in the case?’
The Inspector General remained silent.
‘Let me handle this and Samantha Osman would walk right into our hands.’

‘When are you returning when you leave tomorrow?’ Henry asked Tarasha who was sitting in the living room and listening to the network news at six. He dropped the tablet device in his hands on the three seater before sitting beside it.

‘I’m not planning to stay there more than twenty four hours,’ she replied, taking a look at him as he sat on the chair. She noticed he just had a change in hairstyle and had shaven his beards.
‘So that means you’ll be back by next tomorrow?’
‘Yes, I should.’
‘Alright, I guess I should just leave this till tou return.’

‘What’s it? Why don’t you say it now?’
‘It’s nothing big, I told you sometime ago that I needed to find a way to see my parents and calm them.’
‘So have you found the way?’
‘Well, I’m just going to visit them and explain things to them.’
‘I hope you know you have to go there disguised.’
‘Yes, I do.’
‘When are you planning to go?’
‘I thought of planning that with Cole, I was going to discuss it with him tonight.’
‘Tonight?’
‘Yes.’
‘Cole’s out already and won’t be back until midnight.’
‘You sent him.’
‘No, he went to the club.’
‘Oh well, I’ll discuss it with him tomorrow then and we’ll get back to you but I believe it’ll be this week?’
‘Huh? You’re going to see your parents this week?’
‘Yes.’
‘Then it has to be your Dad alone.’
‘No the both of them, in fact my mum is the one I need to see.’

‘How are you going to do that?’
‘I found out she’s going home this week.’
‘Then you can’t see her this week except you do it on her journey home.’
‘I don’t understand you.’
‘Don’t you think the officers would be expecting your visit?’
‘Hmm…’

‘They’ll expect that you visit her if you’re still around and would stick around to wait for you.’

‘That’s true.’
‘Choose another day, you could get into trouble if you make it next week.’
