Tarasha - Season 4 - Episode 31

Forty two minutes later

Dave looked around carefully before getting close to the car. He checked his phone for the message Lizzy had sent him again, he was at the exact point of the map. He rested his bum on the bonnet of the car and clicked open the messenger on his phone. He took another look around and stylishly into the car before he opened the chat box with Lizzy.
‘I’m in Kurudu now and I think I’ve found the car where the phone he used to call you is, but I can’t see him anywhere around the car.’ he typed and sent.

‘Stop!’ Henry heard a loud voice as he stepped into the first section of the building. He looked around to see the source of voice but couldn’t find it.
The building was not too big but it smelt money and high technology. The walls of the section where Henry was except for the one which had the door were made of mirror glasses, he could see his multiple reflections at the different sides. There was no visible door leading into the other parts of the building rom the section but Henry was sure there was an hidden one somewhere that would become visible whenever the controller of the place wanted him to go beyond the section. His heart was racing fast but he knew there was no turning back for him, he didn’t care to die so long as his mum was allowed to go in peace.
‘Take out the metals on you,’ the voice came again. Some straight thin red lines of light from unknown sources suddenly pointed to different parts of Henry’s body after the voice spoke and all the places the red lights pointed to had metals there.


Henry took out the gun he had taken from Cole’s room from his front pocket, he took out another one which he had found from the car from his back, he took out two knifes from his body and dropped them all on the floor. Two red lines were still pointing to his body.
‘Take out the rest,’ the voice said again.
Henry dipped his hand into his pocket and took out the car keys, then he raised up the his shirt to show that the other light was pointing to the metal buckle of his belt.
‘Hehe! You can leave that on,’ the voice said mockingly. ‘Now, I want you to see something before you proceed.’
The mirrored walls all converted into screens immediately and Henry could see his mum again in the same room sweating more profusely than before.
‘I’m here, let her go.’ Henry shouted and his voice reverberated the whole place.
His mum suddenly jerked and started looking around in the video as if she had heard his voice but her eyes were blindfolded so he couldn’t see her expression well.
‘Hahaha, she can hear all you say and she’s going to know if you do love her or not.’

What do you want from me?’ Henry shouted. He saw his mum jerk again on her seat and heard her make a groan. ‘Can you just disconnect that and let us talk?’

‘You don’t tell me what to do,’ the voice replied. ‘You’re a visitor here, I think it’s necessary that I entertain you before discussing what I want from you.’
‘Please let’s go straight to the point,’ Henry pleaded.


The wall facing him split open, creating a passage into the next room. There was a table and chair set in the next room. On the table was a meal of fried rice and salad, a pack of fruit juice, a bottle water,a glass cup and a pack of neatly folded tissue papers.

‘Get in and eat, then we can talk.’ the voice said.

‘I can’t eat when I know my mum is still where you kept her,’ Henry insisted.
‘But you have no choice, I have to attend to something else now, I’ll be back before you finish eating.’ the voice replied and the whole place became dead silent.
‘Hey, hey! You can’t go anywhere,’ Henry shouted but all he had in return was his voice echoing back to him.

His knees buckled and hit the ground weakly as the thought of still losing his mum after all the efforts came to his mind. He remembered Cole’s warning for him to wait for Omotara but that couldn’t have been followed, his mum would have been long dead before Omotara would arrive Abuja. All he could now hope for was that Rex fulfilled his own part of the agreement.
