Tarasha - Season 7 - Episode 32

‘I think Tomi has gotten into some trouble, she isn’t answering her calls anymore,’ Cole said aloud. He was worried. She had called him and asked where he was, after reporting that Elvis Richards had not less than ten men on board, the phone call ended abruptly and since then she had not answered his calls.
‘Maybe she was discovered,’ Nicholas put in.

Cole looked at him but didn’t say a word.
‘Do I wait for you guys, are you returning immediately?’ the boat sailor turned and asked Cole.

Cole found the question difficult to answer. ‘Well, I can’t tell, you can come on board with us and wait for a while.’
‘No, if you want me to wait, I’d rather stay in my boat. I don’t want anyone to mark my face for working at the prohibited time.’ the man replied.

‘It’s okay,’ Cole had no choice than to agree.

They got closer and closer to the ship. Cole could see some men on the large verandah at the exterior. They seemed to be about their own business and oblivious of his coming until the speed boat got so close to the ship. He saw the three men gather together as expected, looking towards their direction.

Tarasha checked her time on getting to the port. The place was not so busy like it used to be during the working hours. The last ship for the day had left and so everywhere was deserted. She glanced around, looking at all the standpoints of all the different Sea travel agencies around. She needed to get something to follow the ship that had left.
She took out her phone to dial Cole’s number while she waited. It began to ring. She noticed something like a Jet ski coming towards the sea shore. She paid closer attention to see if it could be her opportunity to get on the sea faster. She walked down to the direction where the Jet ski was facing. Her phone call to Cole wasn’t answered but she did not bother as her mind was already preoccupied with getting the jet ski.

The man soon got to the sea and got out of the machine. He took out his was dialing a number on his phone when Tarasha approached him.

‘Hello sir,’ she said with a smile.
He stared at her with suspicious eyes. He noticed bruises on her face and some worn out parts on her clothes.

‘Hi,’ he forced out a reply.
‘Can I rent your machine for the night?’
‘No,’ he stared at her with a scornful look. ‘I was about to call the owner, he’d be coming right away for it.’

‘You have to tell the owner that I’m borrowing it,’ Tarasha said as she dipped her hand into her pocket and moved closer to him. He took a step back but didn’t go too far away to stop her from touching him.
‘What do you guys want?’ one of the men questioned Cole and Nicholas after they step onto the ship. The man who sailed the speed boat waited in it.

‘We’ve come to add this to the package for Erico Group Of Companies,’ Cole replied. Nicholas remained silent.

One of the men stepped forward ‘One, there’s nothing like Erico group of companies and secondly I don’t recognize you two as workers at Erico.’

The man looked different from the two others, while the other two looked like security officials with guns in their hands. He looked ordinary, he wore an Erico labelled shirt on a black plain trouser.

‘I mean we were contacted to bring this here,’ Cole tried to cover up. He could see other men appearing from other sides of the ship. He remained as calm as he could, he didn’t expect it to be easy but he was sure he would fight at his best. ‘We do not work for Erico, we were only sent here.’
‘I wasn’t sent here with you,’ Cole was shocked beyond words to hear the words come from Nicholas. He turned slowly and widened his eyes in shock as Nicholas moved from beside him to the men’s side. Nicholas took a pistol from one of the men and pointed at Cole.

‘Who’s this?’ Ayo asked as he stepped back into the verandah with James.
‘I see Rex’s secret man in Samantha Osman’s gang is here with a member of the gang,’ James replied. Rex had showed Nicholas to them while they were in Solace Hotel and they were both present when Rex gave Nicholas the assignment of tricking Samantha Osman or any of her men into their trap.

‘He’s here and he’s expecting Samantha Osman to join him.’ Nicholas said to James as he came closer to him.

The other men took out their guns and pointed them at Cole too.

Cole wanted to curse Nicholas loudly but the sound of the speed boat speeding away interrupted him. He glanced back and saw the sailor already on his way back. The man must have been scared by of the guns he saw been taken out.

‘That’s just the man who brought us here,’ Nicholas said as he stepped forward and joined James and Ayo. Ayo stretched out his hand to give Nicholas a handshake.
‘We should get the ship moving again, I was forced to make the call to stop the ship on Samantha Osman’s orders but I also saw it as an opportunity to bring this fool here.’

Nicholas said and looked Cole in the eyes with spite. ‘Rex would not be glad if he finds out we are not moving, I’ll go tell the sailors to continue.’

Nicholas got on the way before James could reply him. James only nodded and watched him go. He then turned to one of the men. ‘Go bring that girl here,’ he ordered and the man responded immediately.

Two minutes later, the man returned with Tomi whose hands were tied behind her. They motioned her and Cole to the centre of the large verandah and asked both of them to go on their knees.


Cole had four men pointing their guns towards them from different directions. Inspector James and Ayo were standing in front of them. He studied the positions of all the gunmen carefully and began to conceptualize how he could get his way past them without injuring himself or Tomi.


Another major challenge he faced was the ropes used to tie Tomi’s hands.
‘You guys should search him and take any gun or weapons you find on his body out,’ Ayo said to one of the men.

Cole breathed in gently, it could just be the opportunity he was waiting for.
‘No, don’t do that.’ James objected and the man who had made the move step back. He then looked at Cole eye to eye. ‘This guy looks smarter than that,’ he said and chuckled. ‘You know what boy? You’re going to take out everything in your pockets and put them on the ground.’

Cole was disappointed by the change in instructions. He could feel his phone vibrating in his backpocket again as he put his hands in his pocket to take out his gun. He put down the only gun in his pocket and his phone after silencing it, he pushed it forward towards Cole and Ayo. Then James signalled for the man pointing the gun behind to move closer and search his body

‘The sailors are dead, the two of them.’ A voice sounded from behind.
It was Nicholas. Ayo and James raised their eyes to look at him.


‘I saw traces of a female’s hair on them, I think she killed them,’ Nicholas added, accusing Tomi.

Tomi turned her neck to stare at him. She was the only female there, so she was sure he was referring to her.

James stared thinly at Nicholas’ face for a while trying to compare the time at which he met with the sailors and when Tomi was found.

‘So you killed the sailors already?’ Ayo asked, staring at her with furious eyes.
