Tarasha - Season 7 - Episode 14

‘I think you should work with not more than four minutes, I’ll tell you if anyone is coming faster.’ Tomi replied.

‘Boss, I got a real big problem here…’ Cole’s voice came through almost cutting into Tomi’s words.
‘What’s the problem?’
‘Someone’s trying to break the mobile network connections here,’ Cole replied.
Tarasha widened her eyes. ‘That’s quite dangerous, do you think they’d want to make the environment unsuitable for hotspots too?’

‘I do think that’s the real target boss,’ Cole replied.

‘D--n it!’ Tarasha cursed. This was another reason why Henry would have performed better being in the control room. His skillfulness could help him continue with the main task and also block the hacker from tampering with the networks.
‘There’s only one person who could do this boss, Henry.’ Cole said.
‘But Henry is on his way here.’
‘Yes, but he could have told the men about our use of the Talkon communicator and that’s why they’re trying to weaken connection in the building.’

‘Try what you can to stop them, our hotspot version and connection is very strong, it’ll take them more than thirty minutes to weaken.’ Tarasha replied and quickly glanced at her wristwatch. She had used more than one minute without doing anything.
She suddenly remembered something as she began to deactivate the explosive device. ‘Cole, Dave James must be the one trying to break in. Locate where he is now.’

4 minutes later.
Henry got another call from Cole after he got to the twenty ninth floor with Eric and his men. They had checked for Tarasha on the floor below without seeing her.
He stopped to answer the call and Eric stopped behind him, still pointing the gun at his back.

‘Henry, there’s a lead activating bomb in the room, I will send you instructions on how to deactivate it.’ Cole’s voice sounded.
‘Ermm… Whats…’ Henry tried to talk but Henry gave no opportunity.
‘I’m sending you the picture and the instructions right away,’ Cole said.
‘Hey, but..’ Henry wanted to protest but the call ended immediately.

‘What’s that?’ Eric asked immediately.
Henry’s phone beeped, the message had entered.

‘He wants me to deactivate a bomb in the room,’ Henry replied him. Eric stepped forward to see what Henry was looking at on his phone.

‘D--n! Is that a kind of trap for us? Guns can’t be used in that room.’ Eric cursed.
‘Trap for you?’ Henry gave him a questioning look. ‘Who knows you? The bomb must have been set there to kill Tara.’
‘It’s a low impact explosive,’ Eric commented as he looked very well at the picture. ‘We’re going there anyway.’
‘I don’t know how to deactivate this thing,’ Henry complained.

‘That’s your problem, start moving.’
‘Don’t shoot,’ Eric warned his men as they got closer to the room. Henry led the men towards the room.

Eric raised up his hand to the men behind them to stop them from moving closer. ‘Get in,’ he whispered to Henry and then hid his body behind the wall as he peeped in. He raised his gun above his shoulders slightly and followed Henry, he gestured with his hand for the other men to follow him.
Henry walked in slowly, conscious of the fact that Eric was behind him. He met Madam Henrietta and Chief Gab staring at him glaringly.

‘Where is Samantha?’ he asked as he walked slowly to Madam Henrietta’s front.
‘She left some few seconds and she says you’re coming to deactivate the bomb before we can be untied,’ Madam Henrietta replied him.
‘Where’s she now?’ Eric asked in soft tones, lowering his gun.
Henry took a glance at Eric and then looked back to Madam Henrietta. She was also staring at his face and since he didn’t say anything in response to Eric’s question , she took it as approval for her to answer him.
‘She went up, the next floor, to help Dr Ekwueme where he is.’
There was silence for a while. ‘We got to go there,’ Eric said to Henry in soft tones.
‘I ain’t going anywhere with you anymore, I have something to do here.’
‘That’s not what we came here for!’ Eric fired.

‘I have fulfilled my own part of the deal, Samantha is up there, why don’t you go get her yourself?’ Henry fired back.
Eric pointed his gun at his forehead in anger. He felt like blowing off Henry’s brain at that moment but he remembered the bomb there and controlled himself.

‘I’ll see you again,’ he said and then turned. He led the men out of the room.
Henry took out his phone quickly as he walked to the position of the bomb. He minimized the messaging app and opened the call dialer, he dialed Cole’s number.
‘Hey Cole, tell Tara that some men are coming against her.’ he said quickly into the phone after looking back to ensure that Eric or none of his men were watching him. He stopped in front of the explosive device.
‘You got to start working on that device already,’ Cole replied him without responding to his warning.
‘I’m talking about Tara here, she’s in danger, some men are going after her and she needs to be aware.’
‘Henry, look at that device, the timer reads two minutes and five seconds left, those people in there would be dead if you do nothing.’ Cole replied instead.
Fear gripped Henry’s heart as he looked at the timer on the device on the floor and confirmed as true the remaining minutes left for it to explode. He squatted quickly and opened his messaging app.
‘You don’t need to touch anything, it’s deactivated already.’ a voice startled him from behind.


He turned sideway and saw Tarasha stepping in through a door. He stared at her with his mouth left agape, he slowly got to his feet.
She stopped in front of him and held him on the shoulder. ‘Take this,’ she brought out a small pack containing a Talkon Device and handed it to him. ‘You have to get them out of here, Cole would give you directions.’
She turned quickly to Madam Henrietta’s front. ‘Take care mother, I’ll see you soon.’ she said with a reassuring look. She glanced at Chief Gab and then turned towards the door.
‘Wait Omotara, there’s something I need to tell you.’ Madam Henrietta quickly shook off her ropes and managed to get up.
‘Mother, you’d tell me when I come back to meet you.’ Tarasha replied just with a glance at the woman.
Madam Henrietta stopped reluctantly and turned back. Chief Gab was already trying to get up from the chair too.

Henry stared at Madam Henrietta’s face as she looked at him. ‘Why is Tara calling you mother?’
