Tarasha - Season 6 - Episode 10

………………………………………………
Location: Obadore
Time: 9:12PM
‘I’m going to drop at LASU gate,’ Mr Matthew said to the driver of the Sienna.
The driver gave no reply, he was too busy checking his side mirrors and the rearview mirror.

‘Did you hear me? I would stop at University Gate,’ Mr Matthew repeated.
‘I hear you Oga oo,’ the driver said. ‘It is this car I’m looking at, it appears as if it has been following us.’

Mr Matthew turned to look back. There was a vehicle behind them but to him it did not seem to him like it was following them. The person in hit was an elderly man.
‘It’s not the one directly behind us, it’s the one after it.’

Mr Matthew tried to look again but he turned back almost immediately and sighed. ‘Just don’t take me past the gate.’

The driver relaxed on seeing that Mr Matthew was less worried himself. They soon got to the University gate and the driver parked off the road to let the man step out.

Tomi and Henry had been following closely but waiting for the right opportunity to stop the car and take the man. They slowed down and allowed two other cars overtake when they saw the indicator of the Sienna turned on, a sign that it was about to turn or change direction. They increased their speed again when they saw their target step out of the car.
Henry put on his face cap and still covered his head with the hood of the jacket he was putting on.

Mr Matthew had just taken his load from the sienna and watched it drive off. He was about to turn when another car pulled up beside him.

‘Hey!’ he heard someone shout and he glanced back to look but quickly turned back again, thinking he was not the one being called.
A guy stepped out of the car and jammed it hurriedly. Mr Matthew turned back again to look, a gun was already pointed at his chest.
‘Get into the car,’ Henry said to the man pointing to the car behind him.

There seemed to be a cease in the flying of the bullets for a while. Tarasha picked the bag which she hung on the window before jumping down. She strapped it to her back while taking out her two revolvers from her pocket.

There was silence for a moment and Tarasha used the seemingly silence to listen to ‘noiseless’ movements around her. She positioned her revolvers well in both hands. Slowly, she moved to the left and took a quick peep. She could see another vehicle turn into the road from the entrance far behind and the reflection from the front light of the vehicle made it uneasy to locate the men shooting the gun.

She peeped for a second time and she could see clearer, she located two of the men standing at the right. She also located a concrete electric pole at the opposite direction from where she stood. She cocked her two guns and took in a breath before stepping out of her hiding place. She pointed her guns towards the two men and released shots as she ran towards the pole. The bullet hit one of the men in his chest and missed the other one narrowly giving him the chance to respond to her shots with several shots which he missed.

She stopped behind the pole and hid with her side entering the space in between the two edges of the pole. She peeped from there and could see more from where she was now. Three of the men were standing at different positions around the car and pointing their guns in her direction. She quickly hid herself back as a shot flew past her face. She tightened her grips on the guns as she pondered on what to do. She was still thinking when she heard the name ‘Samantha’ being called and someone talking to her. She peeped and saw one of the guys coming in her direction from the car, he had his hands raised as he stepped closer slowly.
‘Can we talk?’ Eric asked. He stopped close to the back of the truck and kept a careful gaze on her.
She stepped out from behind the concrete pole with the guns in her hands but lowered and pointing to the ground.
