Tarasha - Season 5 - Episode 99

12:49PM
Henry and Tarasha sat at a table in a restaurant. They had plates of beans and plantain served in front of them and were eating quietly until Tarasha broke the silence.
‘Where do we go next?’ she asked.
‘I think we should go to Orile now,’ Henry replied.

Tarasha paused to think for a moment. She recalled the pictures of the survey of the area and couldn’t but agree with Henry that it was the next place they should go.
‘Tara, what plans do you have for everybody else after we complete the whole mission finally?’

Tara was about to take a spoon of beans but dropped it as the question hit her. She raised her brows at Henry. She could tell that the question Henry was trying to ask her was if she had plans for them at all.
‘Why do you ask?’ she replied.
Henry narrowed his gaze at her. He changed the position of his head and nodded to the other side. ‘I was just thinking about Dr Ekwueme, Stephanie and the two elderly women. The public thinks they’ve been kidnapped, I don’t know how they’re going to go back to their normal lives.’
Tara was quiet for a while. She had thought about his question already and had a plan fixed but didn’t know how Henry would react to it.
‘They would all return to their normal lives, I have plans to make them appear rescued after the death or judgment of the Vice President in court.’ She answered. ‘But what about you? How would you return to your normal life?’

Henry squinted at her. ‘My normal life? I do not have a normal life anymore,’ he paused and cleared his throat. ‘My normal life is the one with you.’
‘What about your parents and family? What would you do with them after all is done?’
Henry gasped. He suddenly remembered that he had it in mind days ago to do a check on his mother when he travelled to Abuja with Cole but all that happened was him waking up to hear that he couldn’t go on the trip anymore because he collapsed and was unconscious for about forty eight hours.
‘I will only make sure that they remain fine and live well, I can’t leave you.’
Tara chuckled. She relaxed her back and continued with her food silently. After some seconds, she raised her hand and checked her wristwatch.
‘We need to hurry up, we don’t have much time by our side.’

6PM
In a black Range Rover. Victor is seated at the driver’s seat while Patricia is on his right. Both look tired out after having some hours of fun together. They had been together since 2 pm that day and now Victor had come to drop her in the hotel she was lodged in. They both sat in silence for a long while at the parking lot. The ringtone of Victor’s phone disturbed the silence.

Victor took out his second phone. He glanced at the screen. The caller’s ID displayed was ‘Boss’. He began to feel uncomfortable, it would be difficult for him to communicate effectively with his boss with Patricia beside him.
‘Hello Boss,’ he finally answered the call after hesitating for a while.
‘Cole, we just located the exact spot Rex has Chief Nonso in Badagry and luckily for us, there are security cameras around the area. We already surveyed the building and we found out there are some guys guarding the place. We don’t know for certain how many they are, but we can guess they are not less than twelve, we also do not know how strong they are. I’m going in alone and I’ll need you to watch from the base and communicate with Henry and I, I would try as much as possible to bring the men outside the main building.’

‘Okay boss, but I need some minutes to get back to the base.’ Victor said into the phone.
‘How many minutes do you need?’
‘Thirty minutes maximum boss.’
‘Please hurry.’

Victor dropped the call and glanced at Patricia. She already knew he needed to leave immediately.

‘It’s okay honey,’ she said and pecked him before stepping out of the car.
He reversed out of the parking garage and drove out of the hotel.

As the range Rover drove away, Lizzy walked into another car at the other side of the garage. ‘Drive after the black car,’ she said to the driver.

The driver obeyed and turned out of the garage.

‘I realized he hired the vehicle, there was no need putting a tracker on him,’ Lizzy said into a phone as the car drove into the road, still having the black range Rover in sight.
‘So, how are we going to get him?’ the voice from the other end of the phone replied.
‘I’m after him now and would follow him to their present location, his boss gave him thirty minutes to get there.’
‘Be careful Agent, you should tell us as soon as you get his location.’
‘Yes sure, I would.’

45 minutes later.
Lizzy checked her time again. The time was far spent and Victor had been seen coming out of the car rentals service he rented the vehicle from. They (Lizzy and the driver) had watched him drive into the place to return the car and had not seen him come out in the same or a different car.

It was when the rentals service began to lock their gates that Lizzy realized that Victor must have left without them knowing. She concluded that he must have used a very good disguise technique for them not to know when he left.

She tried to recall all those she had seen come out of the place and there was only one instance that Cole could have escaped through. A car with three guys in it had come out of the place five minutes after Victor drove in with the Range Rover. She did not pay much attention to the car then because all the guys all had so much beards and it appeared like they were a beard gang of some sort but then she remembered that the guy that was seated at the backseat of the car wore the same type of shirt Victor wore.
‘D--n it!’ she cursed aloud. ‘We’ve been fooled, he left already.’
‘How could he have left, through the back?’ the driver who was also a trained NIS officer asked.
‘Through a very good disguise method,’ she replied.

She heaved a sigh and closed her eyes. She rested her head against the headrest as she began to think of what next to do. Then she suddenly remembered Tomi and realized that she wasn’t making good use of Tomi. She tapped her phone out and searched out Tomi’s number.
