Chapter 4 Part 2

Tarasha had remained motionless since the call from Aisha had ended. Her left hand was glued to the steering wheel while she still held the phone in her right hand. She was confused as to what to do next, whether to turn back to Abuja or continue on her journey to Lagos. It was obvious that Aisha would soon start releasing information to the enemy when she couldn't bear the pressure anymore and even though Aisha had told her she drank the mixture that was supposed to harden her and help her lessen pain, she couldn't really trust Aisha's words. And with the just concluded call, Tarasha could tell that Aisha's heart wasn't hardened at all.

Now, if Aisha should release information about their control base to the enemy, it would mean Henry's life was in danger. This was the real reason she was confused, she didn't want to make the same mistake she had made with her brother.

She looked down as her phone vibrated in her hand, she turned the screen to herself and heaved a sigh as she identified the number as Henry's. She answered the call and placed the phone to her ear quietly.

'Omotara, where are you now?' Henry's voice sounded with so much concern.

'I don't the know the name of this place but I believe I'm not far from Lagos anymore, I have to check the map first to know the name of the location,' she replied.

'Are you driving now?' Henry asked.

'No, I'm on a brief pause. I just received a call from Aisha and I think there's a little problem.'

'Problem? What's the problem?'

'Aisha and Cole have been captured and I presume Aisha could not endure the torture and she's now dancing to their tune. Aisha may be forced to let out sensitive information and that would be dangerous to us,' Tarasha explained.

'Oh no! I hope you're saying the whole truth to me, hope you're not in need of help already?'

'No Henry, it's actually you who is in danger and in need of help. If Aisha is to let out the address of that place, some people may come visiting soon and I'm sure you can't handle them.'

'But there's no way they can penetrate easily, this place is heavily secured, they would cause a lot of attention from the public if they try to break in forcefully.' Henry tried to sound bold but his voice was still shaky.

There was a very brief silence, then Tarasha cleared her throat and began to speak again. 'Henry, you need to remember that the people were fighting against can easily gain the support of police. Once they do that, they would invade the place and can pull down the walls just to get in.'

'Hmm... So what do we do now?' Henry asked, he could be heard heaving a sigh of frustration, finally letting out his fright.

'Listen carefully to me. First, turn on another computer system with which you'll be able to fully monitor any one or group trying to gain access into our building. Then, we've got sets of...' Tarasha stopped as she remembered something. 'Have you ever heard of laser scopes?'

'Laser scopes? I though they only existed in sci-fi movies,' Henry replied.

'Maybe several years ago, they existed only in movies but we have them working in reality now.' Tarasha answered. 'We have some sets installed at the passage from the main door, I wanted to ask you to switch it on but if you do without knowing how to pass through, you'll be the first to be killed by the lasers.'

'Oh!' a note of great fear sounded in Henry's voice. 'What do we do then?'

'Go into my room, the code for the locker in the room is 6798. There are three access cards in the locker, pick all the cards you see and proceed to the study. Behind the wall clock at the left side of the study, you'll find where to insert the access card labeled 1, unlock with the code 9867...' Tarasha suddenly stopped and hissed, there was a pause for eight seconds. 'Wow! There are many codes I'll be giving you, you need to write them down.'

'Yeah, sure.' Henry said with a sigh. 'My brain is quite overloaded and I can't even remember the codes you mentioned already. I'm getting a jotter and pen right away.'

'Wait! Before you get a jotter and pen, turn on the system to monitor the environment first.'

'Okay...' Henry was silent for over a minute before he spoke again, 'Done.'

'Okay, you can get your jotter and pen now.'

'Gotten already.'

'Write down these codes; 6798, 9857, 7698, 6789...' she called a total of seven codes for him.

'You said there are three access cards, how come I have seven codes?' Henry inquired.

'The first code is for the locker, the next three codes are to be used with access card 1,2 and 3 and on the first three locks you'll find respectively. While the rest four should be used with card 1 on the remaining four locks.'

'I don't understand...'

'The access card labeled 1 would be used for the lock behind the wall clock with the second code, it would open to you a weaponry...'Tarasha paused and heaved a sigh. 'You know what?'

'What?'

'Just be on guard for the meantime, tell me once there's any problem and I'll get across to you the steps then.'

'But... What if you're busy when next I try to call you?'

'Before I proceed now, I'll make arrangements for your missed to call to be replied with the steps well explained in a voice message. But if you're not calling to get the steps, you should send a voice message first.'

**Lagos**

'She plans to get the killers of her brother, together with the Vice President. I don't know about her other plans for now and I'm not sure if she has any.'

The questioning had began after Aisha had been allowed and agreed to take a meal. They had also moved in another room with better ventilation and lightening but only a little bit wider than the previous.

'How does she intend to get the killers of brother?' Don asked, resting his hand on the back rest of a chair which had been brought in, Stone was sitting on it while Stainless stood at the other side. They all had bony and hard faces on, to put fear into Aisha as she spoke with them.

'She knows all of you already,' Aisha replied and paused to glance at each one of her listeners- Don, Stainless and Stone. 'She saw your faces, and recognized you especially' Aisha said, referring to Don.

She could see Don cringe in fear at her revelation and she tried to conceal a smile. Don's response has betrayed his words and previous display of confidence. He had claimed not to be afraid of Tarasha and went further to say she was just a stubborn girl who needs to be put in her place but his shakiness when he heard about her recognition of his face had showed that all he voiced out were mere empty words. Aisha thought of reconsidering her decision to work with Don at this point. Don himself seemed to be afraid of Tarasha but she could tell that there was still something or someone who Don was relying on, who or what it was was what she couldn't tell. She had to maintain her decision after thinking of her parents again. She had to keep revealing the truth to Don and couldn't afford to play any dangerous game as she knew Don would not hesitate to take out another body part from any of her parents just to make her give in and that she didn't want, her parents should not suffer because of her anymore, they had suffered so much already.

'And how is she planning to go about that? Does she know where we operate from?' Don asked after few seconds of losing his voice.

'I don't know but she has her way of finding what she wants everytime.'

Don heaved a sigh, he glanced at Stainless and Stone briefly. 'Where is your new operation base?'

The question seemed to hit Aisha in a bad way as she swallowed hard. It had been one she had been avoiding and praying for Don not to ask. She knew how much money and efforts Tarasha had put in to organize the new structure. Even though she was sure that the place was well secured and Don could not penetrate, she knew that some level of havoc could still be done to the place.

'Where's your new operation base?' Don asked again, noticing the uneasiness that came over her with the question.

'That's quite complicated,' Aisha answered in a low shaky voice, avoiding Don's gaze.

'What makes it complicated?'

'It's not in the main city but after Maitama.'

Don squeezed his face, 'What kind of location is that?'

'Hey,' Stainless called Don's attention. Don turned to him. 'Rex is calling already,' Stainless whispered, showing Don the incoming call from the screen of the phone. 'I think you should ask the questions which he needs direct answers to first.' The incoming call ended without being answered.

Don nodded slowly in agreement and turned back to Aisha. 'Does Tarasha have other people working for her apart from you and Cole?'

'No,' she answered, heaving a sigh, quite relieved that Don had changed the direction of his questions. Don glanced back briefly as he heard the door open, it was Stainless going out to attend to a phone call. 'We were three working with her and became two when we lost Benny,' Aisha quickly added.

'But has she at any point worked with any external agency? I mean another assassin somewhere else or a security officer,' Don asked his question in a different style.

'No, I don't think so. If she ever did, she must have done it hidden from us.'

'Oh!' Don stared thoughtfully for a moment. 'Who works closer with her? You or Cole?'

'Cole used to, but recently we've all been working together.'

'Do you think Cole could give us some information you don't have?'

Aisha frowned, 'I really don't think he has any except the one he could have gotten while coming to Lagos or before you guys got him and I don't think Cole is ever going to work with you or give any information.'

'Forget about that, if he doesn't work with us, we'll make him vomit any information that he has to.' There was a pause of about one minute before Don spoke again. 'Is there anyone living with her now like her brother did then?'

Aisha did not give a reply but there was a twitch on her face which gave Don a positive signal.

'Come on, speak to me.' Don urged.

'Yes, Henry stays with us now.'

'Henry? Who is Henry?'

'Henry E.G, the hacker we recently broke out of prison.'

'Oh! What the hell was I even thinking about!' Don exclaimed with a loud voice and brief chuckle. 'He works with you now, right?'

'No, he doesn't. He doesn't seem to be in good terms with Tarasha.'

'He's not in good terms with Tarasha?' Don chuckled again, it sounded ridiculous to him. 'I thought he was just one of the tools she uses, how can a tool not be in good terms with the master? Does he have a choice to work for her or not?' Don asked, the questions were more like to himself as Aisha remained quiet, staring at his face. 'Why is she keeping him then? Why has she not killed him if he's useless and refuses to work for her?'

'I don't have the answers to that,' Aisha replied.

'What then does he do in the house everyday?'

'Nothing, he sleeps and wakes up. Most time works with his PC but what he never does anything related to our work.'

'Maybe you don't know the work he does for her, but I'm very sure he does something.'

'He does nothing, absolutely nothing.' Aisha insisted.

'Then what's the relationship between them?' Don asked, widening his eyes. Aisha answered with silence. 'Or are they lovers as rumour has it?' Aisha still maintained silence. 'Come on, answer me, what's the relationship between them?'

Aisha's reply was slow, 'I'm not really sure of what it is now, but it seems somehow romantic.'

'Hmm...' Don eyes brightened up with a smile, he folded his lips in as he stared away blankly.

The door opened and Stainless walked back in, moving towards Don with the phone in his hands. 'Dan, you need to talk to him now,' he said in a low voice as he handed the phone to him.

Don took the phone and looked at the screen, the call was still on and reading. 'Hello boss,' he said as he proceeded out through the opened door and closed it after getting out.

**Asokoro area, Abuja**

'You once said you know who Tarasha's sponsor is right?' Rex asked. He was seated in a motionless car with his left hand on the steering wheel and the seatbelt well fastened.

'Yes, I worked with him before she came.' Don replied from the other end.

'Do you know his location?' Rex asked.

'Yes, I know where he stays. He stays somewhere hidden from town in Lagos.'

'Good, I just wanted to be sure of that. We might work with that information in case I can't get Tarasha today or tomorrow. I'm not sure of her plans yet and I don't know if I'll be able to take her down when she makes her next attack, I'm only sure I'll be able to prevent her from succeeding...'

'But boss... There's a new information now,' Don cut in.

'What's that?'

'The person who showed up to help her yesterday, I think we've found out who it is.'

'Who?'

'Henry E.G, he's a software engineer and developer. He's the one who was recently rescued from prison by the Tarasha gang,' Don explained.

'Is he a trained assassin too?'

'No, he's not.'

'Okay, gather more information about him and mail me everything you're able to gather as soon as possible.' Rex ordered.

'Okay Boss, but there's one more thing. The girl mentioned that there's a romantic relationship between Tarasha and that Henry,' Don sounded excited about the additional information.

'Of course, a female assassin can bleep anyone she wants to, just to get her job done.' Rex replied, his tone showed he had considered the information not relevant contrary to Don's expectation.

Oyinprice has forgotten today is Saturday sha

Tarasha continued to take brief glances at the map showing on the device placed on her lap as she drove carefully on the slow lane, also looking sideways for any sign of Bevo hotel.

Soon she located Bevo hotels and halted for some seconds just before the gate, she pressed the car horn and rolled down the window glasses of both sides as she drove towards the gate. She stopped briefly at the security check where she had a brief conversation with the security guards. They conducted a brief search on her car and cut out a pass ticket for her before she was allowed to drive in. She followed the directions given to her by the traffic directors and parked her car where she was instructed to. Soon she entered into the main building of the hotel and located the reception desk.

'Lovina Dike, personal investigator,' she introduced herself to the receptionist, bringing out an identity card which the receptionist checked briefly and nodded in confirmation. 'A lady booked a room here yesterday, 'Tarasha continued. 'She left her room yesterday evening and has not returned since then.'

The receptionist frowned a bit before turning to the computer, she began to type on the keyboard until she remembered something. 'I think I've heard of who you're talking about,' she said, pausing a bit to look at the personal investigator before she continued to type on the keyboard.

'Has she returned?' Tarasha asked.

'No,' the receptionist concluded her typing and turned squarely to Tarasha. 'We don't know the exact time she left but the cleaners didn't just find her when they tried to clean her room this morning and afternoon. Those on duty yesterday said they never saw her leaving.'

'What was her room number and how many days did she book for?'

'She booked for three days and her room number is...' she paused a bit and stared into the computer to confirm the room number. '15B.'

'Okay, have you guys accessed her room since she left?'

'Yes of course, we did. That's how we confirmed that nothing happened in the room.'

'Ermm... I mean did you find anything strange or suspicious in it?'

'Nothing like that was reported, her bags are still there and they can always remain there as far as her money hasn't expired yet.'

'Hmm... Okay, I think I'll have to come back in some few hours time. Hopefully she'll be back by then but I'll also try to bring with me a search permit in case she hasn't returned.'

'Okay ma'am, there'll be no problems with us once the due process is followed.' the receptionist said as Tarasha turned to leave.

'Thanks,' Tarasha flashed a smile and proceeded towards the exit door briskly. She stopped halfway as a thought struck her mind. She turned back slowly and proceeded back to the reception, 'Sorry for disturbing Miss, but I just think I should stay around here. I'll like to book a room and stay in there for few hours and I'll like you to reach me on phone when she comes in.'

The receptionist stared suspiciously at her face for a second, she wondered why Tarasha wanted to book a room and not just ask for somewhere to wait. She shrugged off the though, then she took out a neat paper and handed it to Tarasha. Tarasha looked through briefly and returned the paper after making an option. 'Okay, just a minute please,' she finally said and turned to her computer for about forty five seconds. 'You don't have any luggage right?' she asked as she took out a small card from a printer and gave it to Tarasha. Tarasha nodded in response to her question.

'13C,' Tarasha mumbled to herself the number of the room written on the card. She then took out her debit card from her back and inserted it into the point of sale terminal. After making the transaction, she was handed the key and she headed straight to the room.


_____________

**Maitama, Abuja**

Henry stood and watched in amazement after the wall splited up right before him, it formed an opened door. He wondered if the facility was existing before like that or if it was Tarasha that built it up the system just within few weeks or if what she did was only to modify it. He pointed his torchlight forward and saw the staircase leading to the underground. He began to proceed downwards but stopped at the fourth step taken. He remembered that he was yet to get the full instructions from Tarasha. So he turned back and walked out. To his surprise, there was a timer reading at the lock box when he returned and it was on '3' and counting down when he came out.

The wall closed by itself immediately the timer got to zero and the access card was automatically emitted. Henry stood there dumbfounded, he inserted his card again into the card reader on the wall and typed in the lock code. The door opened the same way it opened the first time. He checked around the wall to see if the timer had began to read again but it was not reading. He took a step into the place and stepped out again. The timer was reading now and it had started from ten. He found a button on the timer and clicked on it which made the timer stop counting. He took two steps in again and turned to see if there was any means by which he could come out if the door had closed when he previously entered. He searched around the walls of the staircase within six seconds and stepped out again before the door closed.

His curiosity grew and several questions which he couldn't find answers to ran through his mind. He wondered how and where Tarasha had gotten so much technological knowledge from. The underground was just a perfect hiding place for someone who knew how to use it properly and also a perfect trap for anyone who unknowingly or illegally finds his way in. He retrieved his card from the reader and placed the wall clock back to cover the lock system with the card reader.

**Lagos**

'Hey! I don't understand the message you just sent to us,' Stone said to Don as he and Stainless entered into the computer room Don was seated in.

'That was the direct instruction from Rex, I relayed it as he gave to me.' Don replied, taking away his focus from the computer screen to stare at them.

'Yes, I know it's from Rex. What we don't really understand is what we've been asked to do,' Stainless replied him as they proceeded closer.

'Okay,' Don heaved a sigh and turned his chair backwards to face them. 'Rex wants us to put the two hostages in two different places, he wants us to keep them in separate locations,' he explained.

'But they are not together now, are they?' Stainless asked, he and Stone exchanged glances.

'They are not together but they're in the same location, he wants them in two separate locations.'

'Why and when did he give that order?' Stone asked with a frown on his face.

'He gave the instructions few minutes ago, and he wants it carried out immediately.'

'Why?' Stainless and Stone asked together in unison.

'You don't expect he'll give me full details about that right?' Don said and paused to look at their faces. 'From other things he said, I can deduce that he's not seeing signs of Tarasha's moves to kill the Vice President and he's trying to put up some defense here for us if she suddenly shows up here.'

There was a minute silence. 'But I don't still understand how separating them would help us,' Stone said, looking confused.

'When they are put in separate locations, it'll bring disoderliness into her plans, that's if she has any plan of coming here.'

'Are you sure this is going to work?'

'Hundred percent sure, and I want us to act immediately. You both would take some boys with you and move Cole to the other place while I'll remain here with Ojo and some other boys.'

**Bevo Hotels, Lagos**

'Why are your services slow here?' Tarasha asked an attendant who brought in a tray of fruit juice for her.

'I'm sorry ma but we came with your order immediately after the call,' the lady replied as she dropped the tray on a small table and placed the cup upright.

Tarasha stared at her intently and in silence as she dropped the tray, particularly observing her uniform. 'What side of the building is room 15B?'

The lady stood up straight and thought for a while, 'If rooms 13 are on this side, it'll mean room 14 are at the left side. Then room 15 should be on this side too at the next floor.'

'Oh! Thanks. I have a friend who claims to be in that room,' Tarasha replied.

'Okay, is there any other thing you would like?' she asked in preparation to leave.

'No, not for now. You may leave now,' Tarasha dismissed her.

She curtsied and proceeded to the door, it refused to open as she turned the handle. 'I think you locked the door,' she said, flashing a look at Tarasha who seemed to be busy with something else.

'Oh! I did?' Tarasha stared up at her and got up quickly with the key but instead of opening the door, she covered the lady's nose with an handkerchief

** 1 hour, 50 minutes later**

_Rael University, Road_

Tarasha kept her gaze on the gate from the car where she was sitting quietly. She had been watching for over fifteen minutes and was still undecided about what to do or how to get in. She had confirmed from breaking into Aisha's room what the state of Aisha was. She found the mixture used halfway like she had instructed, so she knew Don's gang must have threatened Aisha with her parents to make her give in.

After five more minutes of inactivity, she decided it was time to act. She took out her phone and dialed Aisha's phone number. It rang for the first time without been answered. It was answered when she called the third time.

'Where are you now?' Tarasha asked.

For some seconds, there was no sound heard from the other end. Then Aisha's voice came calmly, 'I'm in Ikeja.'

'Where in Ikeja? I sent someone to meet you at Bevo hotel where you lodged earlier,' Tarasha replied.

'Oh! Bevo hotel? Ermm... I... I'm not there now, I can't get there because I'm sure Don's boys are on my trail and would take me if I move out of this place,' Aisha's reply came shakily.

'Then, where are you?'

'Ermm... I don't know the name of the place...'

'Okay,' Tarasha cut in. 'I'll ask Henry to track this call and figure out your location. Just hold on for a second,' Tarasha said and kept quiet for about thirty seconds. 'Okay, he'll get to you in few minutes. But I think you should know he doesn't know how to use guns, all he can do is to drive you to safety.'

***Inside the building***

'Okay Boss,' Aisha replied with a low voice as the line went dead. She looked up to Don's face who was staring down at her. The phone was on loud speakers, so Don had listened to the conversation.

'Henry is trying to track you?' he asked with a tone which made the question sound rhetorical. 'We added waves protection to this building today and the point of communication in here can't be discovered by any tracker. You have to call her back and give her a location for Henry to meet you.' Don said and took a brief pause to think.

His phone rang while he was still thinking of the location to give Henry, he took it out of his pocket and stepped back to receive the call. 'Hello Boss,' he said.

'Have you separated the hostages?' Rex voice sounded dry.

'Yes, we have.'

'How about the info you're supposed to send me?'

'I've gathered some already, I'll send it within the next thirty minutes.' he said and the call went off immediately. He flashed a look at Aisha and caught her staring intently at him, she quickly hid her gaze when their eyes met. 'Call her back and tell Henry to meet you at the Bolevian Garden,' he turned back and redialed Rex's number as he walked out of the room and closed the door gently.



'Boss, there's something new,' he began immediately Rex answered the call.

'What's that?'
'The man you asked me to gather information about, I think he's in Lagos now. Tarasha called and told Aisha of his presence,' Don said.

'What is he doing in Lagos?'

'I guess she sent him to assist the captured two. I've asked Aisha to send him an address to lure him into our trap.'

'Sounds good, I'll like to get a feedback on that as soon as you get him.'

'Sure boss,' Don said and ended the call. He returned the phone into his pocket and walked through the corridor to the computer room.

**Asokoro, Abuja**

James paced about his room silently, he had a cup filled with alcohol with him. He wasn't a big consumer of alcohol but he took it once in a while when he was with friends or when he felt heavily troubled like he was this time. All the struggles and the failures he had been facing was giving him headaches and he could still not find any possiblity of making an headway.

Working with the NIS twenty four hours ago, after he had been informed of Samantha Osman's threat to the Vice President, they had worked together to figure out the location she had threatened from but to no avail. It seemed as if Samantha was never going to be caught but would only be playing games with the police and other security agencies.

Samantha's case was enough problem at that moment, another issue that added to his worries was the news of Stephanie George's abduction. He had been following up the Inspector responsible for the case in Lagos and could tell from the information he was getting that there was no progress being made.

He gulped down the contents of the cup in a rush as if the arrival of the solution to his problem depended on it.

'Stephanie...' he muttered under his breath. Her picture flashed back into his mind again. He remembered the first day he had met her at the police office reception in Lagos, her beauty had been totally irresistible. He had approached her right there to listen to her complain instead of allowing the constables do their jobs. He personally handled her complaint that day and even gave her a free ride back to her school. He had found out that she was an assistant to the leader of the SWAD group of which he was also a member of while in school, he also found out that she was a student of computer engineering. They became friends. He had began plans to ask her for a relationship but aborted it when she revealed to him during a normal conversation that she was not ready for any until she was done with school. Since then he had kept his feelings for her unvoiced. She kept him as a friend and someone whom she ran to for advice when necessary. That was over a year ago, now she was the leader of SWAD. James love for her had continued to grow even though they saw less before he was transferred to Kogi State, her new post as the leader of the group had made her busier.

He poured into the glass cup again and gulped down half almost immediately. He staggered forward and sank into a sofa, already tipsy, he swallowed and closed his eyes, seeing Stephanie's face in the darkness.
