Tarasha - Season 4 - Episode 35

‘Boss, I’ve been trying to connect to you for some minutes now. We just saw Henry come into his car from the building a few minutes ago and now he’s proceeding back into the building.’ Cole said into the phone. He was now seating properly at the passengers’ side where he could view properly while Tomi had moved to the driver’s side.

‘He just called me and I asked him to go back in, they gave him one hour to comply before they execute his mother and that’s just about the same time I will get to that location.’
‘Okay boss, what exactly should we do now? Should we wait for some minutes before the given time?’

‘Just watch what happens, I’ve told him to comply. I hope nobody knows you’re there.’
‘Nobody knows, I’ve been here with Tomi alone and I didn’t let her know what we were coming to do until we got here.’
‘Great, I will join you soon.’

‘D--n! How in the world could this have leaked out?’ Rex cursed aloud, slamming his fists on the table as he read the news on the screen.
‘I’m suspecting Samantha, you said she was nowhere to be found. This is what she must have been up to,’ Stainless who stood by his side suggested.

‘I wonder what she’s trying to do,’ Rex said with a confused look on his face. ‘How can she be investigating the kidnap instead of facing her work?’ he asked himself in a loud voice. He placed a finger on his lips and turned his swivel one eighty degrees, balancing his back as he thought of what next to do. After some seconds, he turned back to the table and picked his phone. He dialed Chief Rikau’s number.
‘Inspector General, someone is giving out information from your end, you have to fish out that person.’

‘It can’t be from here, we made sure no one heard about this except the man in charge of Samantha Osman’s case.’
‘It isn’t from here also because I work with only one man, Stainless, and he would not dare sell us out to Samantha.’ Rex said, giving a threatening look at Stainless.


‘Then how did it get to the news? Didn’t you use the kidnap to threaten Samantha?’
‘To threaten Henry,’ Rex corrected.
‘But they work together and the main focus is Samantha.’

‘Listen, even if she decided to let out the news to gain public sympathy, there’s no way she could have gotten so much details without an insider giving her. They even reported the motor service used, the type of car and even time of departure.’

‘Rex, I don’t know how that happened. You know I’ve been against this plan all along and I warned you and the Vice President.’
‘You should learn to calm down a bit more, things have not gotten out of hand yet, you should have called me first before calling the VP.’
‘See you talking about who I should have called first…’
‘Till later, IG.’ Rex interrupted the man and cut the call on seeing something on the computer screen.

He maximized a blinking window and the interface for the cameras showed. He could see from the several clip options that Henry had come back into the place.
‘What the hell is he doing here?’ Rex asked rhetorically. His face was full of shock, he never expected Henry to return and he wondered what Tarasha was up to. He had thought she would fight back since he made the kidnap but she didn’t and now Henry was back instead of running to her like he expected. ‘What is she up to?’ Rex asked aloud again.

‘I’m BACK!’ Henry shouted again in the room as he looked around but got nothing except echoes in response. He remained silent for some seconds, thinking that his hosts had left the building already. But just before he concluded, the walls of the place brightened and the full lights came on again.
‘I see you made the decision to come back, I hope it is to cooperate.’ the voice came out loud but not sounding too confident like it always did.

‘Yes, I just called Samantha some minutes ago. She’s on her way here now and I can lead you to her if your want me to.’
There was a long silence, longer than expected. Henry had thought they would be glad at his acceptance to take them to her but he wasn’t sure anymore as the response was withheld from him.
‘Give me a second,’ the voice finally replied and everything went dead silent.

‘D--n it! That girl is smart,’ Rex exclaimed painfully, biting his lips. ‘How did she get to know my plans?’ he muttered to himself.
Rex’s attention moved to his phone which vibrated on the table. He picked up the phone and answered the call.
‘Rex, I want Mrs George returned right away. Where do we meet you to get her?’ the Vice President barked in a serious tone.
‘Give me two minutes to get back to you,’ Rex replied in low tones and ended the call. He closed his eyes and heaved a heavy sigh. ‘We have to take Mrs George back to the police,’ he said to Stainless after a minute of thinking silently.
‘Okay, so what do we do to the woman we planned to use?’

‘That woman does not need to die anymore, her death won’t be useful to us.’ Rex replied.
His plans had been totally foiled. He had used Henry’s mother to lure Henry to himself and planned on killing another woman in place of the mother but make it look as if it was Henry’s mother that was killed, only to Henry and his colleagues but secret to the general public. This, he intended to use in causing friction amongst Tarasha and those in her camp. If he had been successful in making Henry think his mother was killed because of Tarasha’s negligence, insensitivity or incapability, he would have done the same with Cole. That would have made both Henry and Cole weaker forces in her team and he would then strike through the weak links. But he couldn’t go ahead with the plans anymore because the news of the kidnap would have gone round the country by dawn and it was against his agreement with the Vice President and Inspector General.
