Tarasha - Season 5 - Episode 111

The Vice President remained silent for a while, then he looked at the men and ordered all of them to leave him alone with the doctor.
‘So, explain the result I showed you.’
The doctor took in a breath. ‘They show that you are not the father of those who the test were carried out on.’
‘And who are those people?’
The doctor was quiet for some seconds. ‘Your…chi…’
‘My children,’ the Vice President completed the statement with an evil chuckle. ‘So how do we explain that my children are yours?’


The doctor flashed a quick look at the Chief’s face and frowned. He didn’t understand the Vice President meant by the question.
‘How do I explain to the world that my doctor was sleeping with my wife and was lying to me that I could make babies?’
‘No sir, I never touched your wife,’ the doctor denied in a strong tone.
The Vice President narrowed his gaze at him. ‘Don’t lie to me.’
‘I’m not lying, I never slept with her.’
‘Then who did? Who owns the b****** children she brought to me?’
‘I don’t know sir, I don’t have an idea who the person is.’
‘Stop playing with fire Musa, it takes me nothing to wipe out your entire family.’
‘Sir, I don’t know who the person is.’ Dr Musa pleaded with tears dropping from his eyes.

‘But why did you lie to me that I could still make babies?’
The doctor began to sob uncontrollably. ‘Your wife…’
‘My wife did what?’ the Vice President cut in impatiently.

‘Your wife was already pregnant with the second child, she found out in the same week you came to me for the check up and she pleaded with me to help save her marriage,’ Dr Musa explained.
‘And you agreed to help her by lying to me?’ the Vice President stared at him with disbelieving eyes, feeling disgusted by his explanation.

‘I was indebted to your wife, we were close friends in the university and she saved me from dropping out from school, there was no way I could reject the first favour she asked from me.’

The Vice President stayed silent for a while. He seemed to be trying to figure out if the doctor was saying the truth or not.
‘I had the accident after the first child, how come James is not my son too?’
‘Sir, I can’t explain that. The only one who can explain is their mother.’
‘But I remember that you said I could give birth before then, when we came to meet you to complain about the delay in childbearing.’
‘I didn’t tell any lie then, you had the problem of watering sperm which was a result of low sperm count. It caused the delay but you could still have given birth because I prescribed the necessary treatment for you.’
The Vice President was silent again. He couldn’t believe this was happening to him. It meant his wife cheated on him right from the beginning of their marriage probably until her death and she pretended to be the most faithful woman ever.

He closed his eyes tightly and ceased his breath, hoping it was all a dream but he opened his eyes to still meet the doctor in front of him.

‘Musa, you were close to my wife. She tells you everything, even our private matters. You should know who she was sleeping with.’
‘I swear I don’t know who it was, she never told me. She said they had sworn to each other to keep the affair secret until death.’

Chief Elvis heaved a deep sigh. He was full of grief and he didn’t know what to do. He felt like the most miserable man on the planet and didn’t know if life was still worth living. But even if he had to die, he needed to make everyone who had caused him pain suffer first.

‘I don’t believe you, you can’t tell me you have no clue about the man who my wife cheated on me with. That would only mean she was cheating with you,’ Chief Elvis suddenly spoke again, frightening the doctor with his tone.
‘I swear, I know nothing about it.’ Dr Musa said, shaking his head in self pity. He froze as his eyes met with the eyes of Chief Elvis. He could see the anger and desperation in it, he could see a man who would not stop until he got what he wanted. He could see a man who was going down and was desperate to pull others down with him. He suddenly squinted as he got a glimpse of memory, he remembered something which could be of help. ‘Sir… There was a man who used to drive her to the hospital and around town, especially when you were out of the country.’

‘Is that the man she cheated with?’
‘No, but I think it’s the driver of the man she cheated with.’
‘How can I get that driver?’
‘He came for treatment in my hospital some few months ago, I have his records.’

‘I think we’ve been tricked,’ Carl said as he looked around the dusty warehouse, the soles of his shoes making noise as he paced about the empty floor.
‘Do you think that Cole could have told Samantha Osman about the link?’ Eric asked as he stepped closer to Carl.
Carl was the name of the American Tiger while was the Eric was the name of the Nigerian. They had three other men (Nigerians) with them in the warehouse and they had come in search of Cole.
‘F***, I can’t believe I was tricked,’ Carl exclaimed as he turned back and proceeded towards the exit of the warehouse.
‘I don’t think it’s all about the trick, I’m sure there’s something more. We need to return immediately before we get more surprises.’

A gunshot sound made Tomi’s eyes pop open. She shook her body but couldn’t make any reasonable movement. Her body was tied with strong ropes to the chair. She felt weakness all over her body. She had rejected the food offered to her by Carl the last night and now she was wishing she had taken a little, it would have left some strength in her that morning.

Another gunshot sounded and this time closer. She wondered what was happening. She had not slept for so long. All through the night she had not been able to sleep straight for an hour and kept wondering if she was ever going to get out of the place alive. She soon began to hear sounds of footsteps and a familiar lady’s voice approaching.
She held her breath as the door of the room opened and a man was pushed inside. She hoped the owner of the female’s voice was who she thought it was. She was full of joy and shock when Tarasha stepped in immediately after and dragged the man up. Tarasha’s eyes met with her’s as she pulled the man up by the collar of his shirt. She inserted a pin at the left side of the man’s neck and dropped him as he fell unconsciously.

Tarasha quickly proceeded to where Tomi was seated and began to take off the ropes from her body. Tomi was dumbfounded. She closed her eyes, she didn’t believe it was happening so fast. How in the world was Tarasha able to locate her that quick, it could only be a dream. She finally opened her eyes

FLASHBACK
3am
‘I can’t still connect how they got the address of the second base and not the first one if Tomi never knew the second base existed,’ Tarasha said aloud, to no one in particular.


She, Henry and Cole were in a room where they had just finished setting up some computers and their network system. The other people who had come with them in the sleeper bus had gone to sleep in the other rooms of the building. Tarasha had insisted that she, Cole and Henry had no business with sleep until they found out how the attackers had gotten to know about the attacked base.
Cole paused all he was doing for a moment after he heard Tarasha’s words. He had the answer to Tarasha’s question but he couldn’t muster enough boldness to answer as it would make him look like the most stupid person on earth.
‘Boss, the Vice President’s children are still in Lagos,’ Henry said, diverting their attention briefly. ‘Don’t you think we could use one of his kids as bait for him?’
‘Do you have an idea of what they are doing in Lagos?’ Tarasha asked.
‘Yes, I think they came for a medical test. All of them especially James have been going in and out of the hospital in the past two days even though their father is no longer there.’
‘Find out and give us specific details, then we know the next line of action.’
There was silence for the next couple of minutes.
‘Cole,’ Tarasha called in a stiff voice and turned to him. Cole froze at the sound of his name. ‘What are you hiding?’
His heart began to beat fast. It wasn’t his first time of getting into trouble with her and he knew she might not forgive him easily for this one but it could be more difficult if he lied in response to her.
‘Yes, I am.’ He got up from his seat with his head bowed in shame. ‘A link was sent to me through Tomi’s WhatsApp account yesterday and I clicked on it,’ he said in a sad tone.
‘Can I see the link?’ Tarasha asked, squinting at him.
Cole turned and picked his phone, he unlocked it and opened the chat with Tomi before he handed it to her.

The first thing she saw was Cole’s recent chat with the number, it had been delivered but there was no reply yet. She scrolled up and found the link. She clicked on it and opened on a browser, it displayed the same warning it showed to Cole.
She returned to the messaging app after about a minute and scrolled down to read the remaining chats. Cole had sent new messages telling Tomi that the link was false and asking where she was. Tarasha clicked on the chat box and began to type a new message.
‘Tomi, where exactly are you now? We were attacked yesterday and the boss is mad at you.’

She returned the phone back to Cole after sending the message and turned back to her computer without saying a word. Henry who was looking at them also turned back after some seconds of silence from Tarasha. He stared more at her face for a while, he couldn’t read the expression on her face. There seemed to be no change even after Cole had confessed to her.

After some minutes, Tarasha picked her phone and unlocked it. She swiped down the top bar to read the new notifications. She had a new message from Chief Gab and a new mail from her colleague assassin from the Nefary Clan. She opened the message from Chief Gab first.

‘I’d be back in Nigeria later today, please keep Chief Nonso safe.’ the message read. She closed the app and opened the email from the assassin, the subject of the email was ‘ Details About The Vilary Clan ’.
She was quiet for some couple of minutes, pondering on what should be their next line of action.

‘Let’s focus all our attention on getting Tomi back first, after that we can continue with the plan on the Vice President’s children.’ She said to Henry and then turned back to Cole. She knew he had been standing all along but refused to pay attention to his presence. He deserved a punishment for being careless but she knew it wasn’t the right time to punish him, it would affect her workforce negatively. ‘Find a location quite far from this place and make the same people locate you there, keep me updated with every of your move’ she said to Cole before she turned back to the computer in front of her. ‘Now, we got to retrieve again the NSCC footages of how Tomi was kidnapped.’
