Tarasha - Season 5 - Episode 95

☆☆
8:45PM
Tarasha walked into the living room tiredly. She had left the other operation base angrily after several hours of trying to force out words from Rex to no avail.
‘Welcome boss,’Cole and Tomi stood up to greet simultaneously.

Tarasha took a glance at them and replied, ‘Hey.’

The doctor only glanced back at herand watched until she walked out of sight. Tomi and Cole returned to their seating position. The Doctorturned back to the television which his eyes had been fixed on for a long time. He realized he wasn’t even following what was being aired and the others in the living room with him were also not paying attention to the TV, their focus was on the devices in their hands. He hoped that Samantha would meet Henry before coming back to the living room. Heknew she was definitely going to ask about Dave James if she returned to the living room without speaking to Henry first. He had seen Henry few hours ago and explained to him how Dave James’ Parents were his benefactors and how he saved the boy’s life years ago and handed the boy back to his parents. He had begged Henry to help plead with Samantha Osman to spare Dave’s life. He and Henry had concluded that Henry would try to convince Tarasha to wipe off Dave’s memory totally after getting what she wants from him instead of killing him.

Tarasha ignored the control room and the other rooms and walked straight into hers. She took off her clothes immediately and got into the bathroom to take a shower. Few minutes later, she returned looking refreshed and met Henry already seated in the bed.
‘Good evening Tara,’ Henry greeted as he la!d his eyes on her.
She smiled, ‘Hi Henry.’

‘How did it go with Rex?’
‘Rex is immuned to the mixture, so it will take us sometime to get him to talk’ Tara replied in a not-too-happy tone.
‘I think I have gotten some things out of the device that could be of help,’Henry said.
Tarasha flashed a quick glance at him as she walked to the wardrobe. ‘That’s good news,’ she said as she unwrapped her towel from her body and began to wipe the remaining wet areas. This left her bare back uncovered to Henry.

Henry stared at her fixedly. It wasn’t the first time he was seeing her back but it was the first time he noticed a tattoo at the middle. He felt like moving nearer to have a closer look but he felt it would be strange and obscene to move closer to her while she was naked.

‘What exactly did you find?’ Tarasha asked, realizing that Henry had been distracted by her naked behind.
‘Three locations, I scrutinized the three but I can’t seem to detect which is the most feasible location where Chief Nonso could be hidden.’ Henry replied, still thinking about the tattoo. It looked like something he had seen recently but he couldn’t tell where he saw what he saw from.

‘Which places are the three locations?’ Tara asked, now sounding more interested. She began to put on her clothes.
‘Mile twelve, Orile and Badagry,’Henry answered.

‘Are those places on this planet?’Tara asked, the names sounded very strange to her.

‘He he,’Henry chuckled.’They are three different parts of Lagos.’
‘Do you know all the places?’
‘I’ve only heard of them, I have not been to the three.’

‘But are you sure they are in Lagos?’
‘Yes, I am very sure.’

She let out a breath and turned. She was now putting on a pant and bra, holding a free gown in her hand.

‘I think Cole would know all the three places, he stayed in Lagos for a longer time than I did and he has worked around here for so long. He would be of great help.’

Tarasha stared blankly for a while, considering Henry’s suggestion. Then she turned and picked abrush for her hair which was already growing and had transformed from the smooth skin cut. After putting on her gown, she turned back towards Henry.
‘I know Cole would know the locations but I can’t go in search of the Chief with Cole, he needs to be around to monitor what we are leaving here and at the other base.’Tarasha said to Henry.

‘Okay,I’m sure anyway that the places wouldn’t be difficult to locate.’
‘I hope it is so.’

There was silence for a minute. Tarasha settled at the other side of the bed silently.
‘Tara, I have something important to discuss with you.’ Henry broke the silence.
‘What’s that?’she asked in reply and sat up.

‘It’s about Agent Dave James,’ Henry replied, he adjusted himself and faced her.
Tara squinted. ‘The doctor talked to you about him, right?’

Henry squinted also, wondering how she could think so quickly that the doctor had spoken with him.

‘Yes, he did.’ Henry replied. ‘He wanted to know the fate of Dave James, but then he pleaded that we leave the agent alive.’
‘Is that all the doctor spoke to you about?’
Henry paused for a minute wondering what else she expected. ‘Yes, that’s all he requested.’

‘He didn’t tell you what they discussed when I left them in the medical room.’
‘The doctor happens to know Agent Dave James and his family but he didn’t recognize. He treated the Agent when the agent was a little boy but didn’t recognize him until the agent spoke up and reminded him.’

‘And is that the only reason he wants us to keep the agent alive?’

‘Doctor Ekwueme says he was very close to the family and they were his benefactors, he wouldn’t feel good seeing them lose the first son and breadwinner of the family.’
‘Is he sure the Agent is not playing a fast one on him?’Tara asked as she got up from the bed.

‘The doctor is sure,’ Henry replied and also got up from the bed. ‘He knows everything about Mr James who is the father of Agent Dave.’

‘I need to talk to him,’Tara said as she placed her hand on the knob of the door to open it. Henry was right behind her.
She suddenly stopped as she tried to turn it, she was hearing a sound. She flashed a look at Henry’s face and he stared back at her blankly. Soon they heard a knock at the door.

Tara opened the door immediately and startled Stephanie who wasn’t expecting a quick answer.

‘Good evening,’ Stephanie gapped.
‘Hi,’ Tarasha replied.
‘I…came to see you,’ Stephanie said, stuttering.

Tarasha stared at her silently for some seconds before opening the door and ushering her in.

‘Thank you,’ Stephanie said as she stepped into the room. She saw Henry standing behind Tarasha,’Good evening.’
Henry noddedand smiled back in response to her. ‘I have to excuse you two,’ he said, flashing a look at Tara as he walked out through the door.

Tarasha closed the door and stepped back towards the bed side. ‘How is your mom doing? I haven’t come around to see her yet.’

‘She’s doing fine,’Stephanie replied with a smile.

‘You can sit on the bed,’ Tarasha said to her.

‘Thanks but I don’t think I need to sit down,’Stephanie replied.
‘Okay, let me hear what you have to say to me.’

Stephanie stood speechless for a moment. She was carried away with Tarasha’s real look- the look without makeup and lowly cut hair. The Samantha she always see during the day always had a wig to cover her almost hairless head. Even though she still looked very beautiful, her hairstyle made her look strange.


‘As you already know, my mother isnow awake and I’ve told her about you already.’ Stephanie began.
