Tarasha - Season 5 - Episode 117

Tarasha heaved a sigh She remembered that Chief Gab had once explained it to her.
‘Are you related to the doctors or were you one of their kids?’
‘Do you still have anything else to tell me today?’ Tarasha asked, purposely ignoring his question.

Chief Gab knew that his question was ignored on purpose but he decided not to bother on getting an answer. ‘I wanted to tell you that I would like to end this contract once and for all next month.’

Tarasha squinted at him. ‘It’s supposed to be a two- years contract.’
‘Yes, I know.’ Chief Gab said tiredly. ‘But since you would finish the task next month, I believe that we can end our business together next month.’
‘So you would not need me anymore?’
‘I don’t think so,’ the Chief replied, looking down.
‘Is there something else you are not telling me?’ she asked him with a side look.
He looked up. ‘Tarasha, I’m broke and I cannot keep funding you. Even now, I’m owing a lot already.’ He confessed.
She let out a breath. ‘Is that all you have to say today?’
‘Yes, thats the main purpose of this meeting.’
‘Okay, I’ll like to take my leave then.’ She said as she got up to her feet.
‘You can leave but please, fulfil your promise, don’t let it drag beyond one month time.’ he pleaded.
Tarasha did not reply. She only stared at his face for some more seconds before proceeding towards the door.
As she walked out of the place, she was more convinced that the Chief was hiding something from her.

Location : Presidential Quarters, Lagos.
Time: 10:12am
‘Elvis Richards,’ Dr Reuben mentioned under his breath as he saw the Vice President’s face.

Elvis Richards smiled scornfully as he saw the look on the Doctor’s face. He proceeded towards the seat in front of the one the doctor was tied to and sat on it. His PA walked into the room after him and handed the phone to him. The Chief asked for the PA to leave them alone.

Dr Reuben kept staring at his face. It was his second day there and he had been expecting someone to tell him why he was abducted but all that the men did was to untie him at meal times and serve him food. He didn’t eat at the first two occasions he was served but began to eat at the third time when he could no longer hold the hunger in. Now, seeing the Vice President before him got him more confused. He didn’t know what he could have done that would make the Vice President kidnap him, even though he knew he and the Vice President had never been friends after the Vice President’s wife had conceived her second child when he said the man could not impregnate a woman anymore.
‘What am I doing here?’ the doctor asked in anger.

The smile disappeared from Elvis Richards’ face, even he could not answer the question. He had only asked out of anger that they abduct the man even though he still had some clarifications to make from the man.
‘Be calm, I only want to ask you a question.’ Elvis Richards replied. ‘I’ll let you go once you tell me the truth.
The doctor remained silent.
‘The DNA test has been conducted for all my kids and I found out that none of them is mine,’ Chief Elvis said in a pitiful tone. ‘But the most confusing part is how James, the first child is not mine also, it was after his birth that I was involved in that accident.
The doctor just stared at him silently.
‘I want to know how James is also not my son.’

The doctor raised a brow. ‘If the DNA test shows that he isn’t yours too, it meant that your wife had him for someone else.’
‘But I was capable of giving birth then, I only had low sperm count but I was on drugs.’
‘It means your wife was playing you even before the accident,’ the doctor said boldly.
Chief Elvis felt like hitting the doctor on the face for his boldness but he knew the man was saying the plain truth.

He let it slide. ‘Is there any way we can find out medically who their real father is?’
‘That’s only if someone lays a claim on them, then we can confirm if the person is their father or not.’
Elvis Richards sighed.

The door opened at that moment and Ayo walked in. Chief Elvis Richards looked back.
‘We’ve got that Chima Bright here now,’ Ayo stopped behind the Vice President and whispered into his ear.
‘Okay, get him into a room. I’m coming to talk to him right away.’ Chief Elvis said aloud.
Ayo turned back and left the room immediately. Chief Elvis got up from his seat slowly. His stare lingered on the doctor’s face for a while before he proceeded towards the door.

‘Henry, where is Tarasha?’ Cole asked as he got out of the control room to meet Henry in the corridor.
Henry was dressed up and it appeared like he was going out to somewhere. ‘She went for a meeting, she’d be back soon.’ Henry replied as he buttoned his sleeves. ‘She asked that you track the new device you gave to Madam Henrietta once you return.’
‘Oh!’ Cole widened his eyes. He took out his phone and unlocked it. He clicked to see the list of apps running and opened the notepad application. He heaved a sigh on seeing that the IMEI numbers he had copied without remembering to save was still there.
‘Okay,’ he said to Henry and stepped back into the control room.

Henry proceeded to the living room. He picked the remote control of the TV and settled on the sofa directly opposite the television. As he crossed the leg and was about to change the channel, he heard the sound of the door opening. Tarasha stepped in.
‘Tara, welcome. I’ve been waiting for you,’ he said, looking at her face.
Tarasha squinted. ‘Why have you been waiting for me?’ she asked, noticing he was dressed to go out.
‘I want a disguise,’ Henry replied.
‘Where are you going to?’
‘To the hospital.’
Tarasha frowned.
‘You asked that I find out what the Vice Presidents kids were doing there.’
‘Okay,’ Tarasha nodded. She felt an urge to ask him what his plan was but decided not to. ‘Come with me,’ she said to him as she proceeded towards the dressing room.

Chief Elvis Richards kept pacing the floor angrily. Chima Bright was kneeling before him oblivious of what he was doing there and why the Vice President was looking so angry.
After a moment, the Vice President stopped pacing and stared at his face. He knew this man but he could not just remember where he had seen him before. He was sure he had seen him before, even though it was a long time ago.
He dragged the chair set aside for him closer and sat on it.
‘So, you were the one sleeping with my wife?’
Chima Bright stared at him, surprised at his allegation. Then he suddenly remembered that he used to drive the man’s wife in his boss’ car several years ago. He knew too much of what the man was talking about that he couldn’t deny or frame ignorance. He knew how Mrs. Elvis and his boss used to go out with each other and how the woman visited his boss at home frequently and spent several hours locked up especially when Chief Elvis Richards was out of town.
‘Can’t you answer my question?’ Chief Elvis Richards barked.
‘I never touched your wife sir,’ he responded in fear.
‘Then who was my wife cheating with?’
‘It was my boss, he and your wife had an affair.’
‘Your what?’ Elvis Richards opened his mouth wide in shock. He couldn’t believe his ears, his wife was sleeping with the person he least suspected.

Time: 11:56am
‘Have you started tracking the device I asked you to track?’ Tarasha asked as she walked into the control room.
‘Yes, boss.’ Cole answered and adjusted himself on the seat in front of the computer. He quickly minimized the app he was working on and switched to the tracking software. ‘It’ll start showing the location once she lands on earth.’
‘Okay,’ Tarasha replied as she sat in front of the main control computer system. ‘Why did you return late from the airport?’
‘I’m sorry boss, I should have told you. I saw some security officials at the airport and I overheard them saying something that concerns us. I had to go back to the airport to get more information when you instructed me not to stop at the mall anymore.’
Tarasha raised her brow. ‘What did you hear?’
‘Their words didn’t make sense to me, I didn’t understand clearly but I discovered that they had more information online. So, I hacked into their online database this afternoon and gained access to some of their secret emails and messages.’ Cole continued to explain.

Tarasha was staring at him, expecting him to get to the point.

‘The President has approved that the Inspector General should be moved secretly to the UK for safety and treatment.’
Tarasha’s eyes shone widely. There was no way she was going to allow the Inspector General escape his death.
‘What other secret information do you have?’

‘Twenty security officers have been approved to go to the airport with him and three to travel with him.’
‘What time is the flight?’
‘The flight is 10am from the international airport in Abuja.’
Tarasha checked the time on her phone, it was just past twelve. ‘Arrange a car to take me to Abuja right away.’
‘Okay boss,’ Cole replied and picked his phone immediately. He began to search for a contact.
‘And try to make sure that you cover up for the hack on their website, don’t let them find out you did.’ she said as she proceeded towards the door.
Cole stopped to listen to her. ‘Sure boss,’ he said as he continued to search for the contact while she went to prepare for the trip.
He located the number and called the transport service to arrange for the trip. He put the phone on the table after he was sure he had finished the necessary arrangement. A text message popped in just as he wanted to turn back to the computer. He picked the phone again.
‘Let none of our team members know about this, including Henry ‘ The message read. It was from Tarasha.

Cole heaved a sigh after reading the message. He felt some confidence and happiness with himself as Tarasha still showed some trust in him.

In less than a minute, Tarasha had stripped to her undies in her room. She had an empty traveling bag and a empty backpack on the bed. She then opened the lower part of the wardrobe and began to pull out guns and throw them on the bed.
