Tarasha - Chapter 12 pt 3

Tarasha laid on the three seater sofa in the living room having a nap while Benny, Cole and Aisha engaged themselves with the ludo game at the balcony. Some flies could be seen in the living room as all the windows which had torn nets were opened because of the unbearable heat. But Tarasha was undisturbed, she was having a sound sleep.

Several circumstances had kept them behind after the operation. They couldn't leave immediately because the security in the capital was still very stiff. After much thinking and putting of heads together, they finally planned to leave the following Monday; that is the day after the next day.

'Ooh!' Benny exclaimed as Aisha kicked back in the last of his eight tokens the third time. He was seated on a stool, with his shirt hanging around his neck. Aisha was seated on another stool directly facing Benny and they had the ludo board placed on two six inches blocks.

Cole was seated on another block, watching and making comments. He had already gone on several rounds of the game with Aisha and they ended up with a tie in scores.

The particular game between Aisha and Benny was even now, they both had one token each left and in the players yard. The first person to get a six would get the token out to begin the race to the finishing point. Aisha and Cole laughed at Benny as he heaved a sigh of frustration.

'Homey, if you're not careful, this will be the fifth time you'll be beaten by a lady today' Cole jested.

'And that means I'll actually spell his name' Aisha added with a chuckle. ' 5 - 0, B-e-n-n-y'

'Just watch and see, I'll win this game' Benny replied with a determined tone as he poured out the dice from the dice cup.  He had four and five come up, he picked the dice into the cup and handed it over to Aisha for her own roll.

Aisha stared at his jestingly as she shook the dice cup. 'Come on, play' Benny said, getting impatient.

'Two sixs' Aisha said, laughing hilariously. She rolled again after shaking vigorously. 'Six, two' she rolled out the extra turn earned by reason of the two sixs

Benny took the dice cup from her in frustration, he avoided looking at Cole who was already making funny faces at him. He shook the cup from side to side in the same manner as Aisha, watching carefully as Aisha  placed her token after counting.

Aisha and Cole stared at Benny's face in suspense as he continued to shake the cup. He kept a smile on his face as if he was sure of the outcome of his new roll.

Kpaa... He landed the cup with so much force on the board and removed it. Aisha and Cole burst into heavy laughter as two ones stared at them from the surface of the dice.

'Come on, play' Benny hurried Aisha again, forcing himself not to give up.

Aisha took the cup and out she rolled again. Two sixs. Another round of heavy laughter came from Cole. Benny finally gave up, he got up from the stool with a smile of defeat.

'I'm not playing again' he announced as he walked into the house, ignoring Cole's uncontrollable laughter. 'Please, come and play one more now' he could hear Cole calling to him jestingly as he proceeded into the room. He paused and stared at Tarasha who was asleep on the couch. He wished she could always look exactly the way she was looking now; gentle, peaceful and harmless. She should really be at peace with herself after such a successful operation.

'Oooh' Benny's body trembled as Tarasha eyes popped open. She caught him feeding his eyes on her face. The gentle and peaceful face Benny was seeing seconds ago had changed into the normal Tarasha's face. He quickly hastened his steps and rushed out of her sight.

Tarasha wiped off the sweat on her face and sat up, she glanced at the wall clock, it was just twelve pm. She couldn't wait to get out of the Abuja and begin her new task. She was also now in a hurry to conclude all Chief Gab's tasks and leave the country.

And Henry's issue? She had settled it in her heart already. As far as she was concerned now , he was her greatest enemy that needs to be either taken out of her sight forever or out of the planet earth. That was her training, anything that returns emotion into her heart should not be allowed to live. People who have emotions are weak people; and weak people can't live the right kind of life. So if Henry was stirring up emotions in her, he had to be moved out of her sight forever or killed before he succeeds in making her weak. Her final resolve was to kill him when next he comes into her life. 

++++

'Your sister?' Henry asked again to be sure of what he heard.

'Yes, Omotara Danjuma is my kid sister' Jefa replied.

'Hahaha' Henry suddenly burst into sudden laughter. Jefa who was startled by the outburst stared at him in confusion. 'Omotara what again?' Henry asked, trying to calm himself.

'Omotara Danjuma' Jefa answered him again, with so much conviction in his voice.

'Okay, pardon me... I actually thought you were talking about somebody else. I'm sorry, I don't know Omotara Danjuma.' Henry said, cleaning his eyes as he spoke. 'Does your sister work around here?'

'I don't know' Jefa shook his head in negative. He took out the piece of paper from his front pocket.

'Then why are you looking for her here? Did she get lost?'

Jefa read the contents of the paper to himself again. 'I heard you guys mention Elymax that day'.

'What day?'

'The day you escaped from the kidnappers. After she came to me in the cathedral premises'

Henry made a quick flashback. Evelyn was standing before the man while he knelt by the statue of virgin Mary. But he didn't hear them talk to each other. All that happened was a silent stare.

'Evelyn?'

'No, I don't know Evelyn' Jefa shook his head. 'That girl you came to meet in the catholic church, the one you I saw you with in the police office is my sister'

'Unbelievable!' Henry exclaimed under his breath. 'But you said Omotara Danjuma' Cole asked again, aloud, this time with a serious tone.

'Yes, that's her name not Evelyn'

'Omotara is a Yoruba name, I don't think she's Yoruba, she doesn't look nor sound like one' Henry retorted.

'Yes, she didn't grow up in ...'

'Hello Sirs' someone interrupted, a security official. 'You have to proceed into the main building please, you can stand here and have a discussion'

'Okay' Henry answered with a slow nod. He stared at Jefa's face for some seconds thoughtfully. 'Let's go in for a discussion' he said and turned back to the car to shut the door.

++++

'Thank you' Dakolo smiled as the attendant who helped him get his load to the room left. He sank into the bed and started to unbutton his shirt, also murmuring some words of prayers.

He sat up and took off the shirt completely. He flung it on the bed and laid back. His mind drifted back to his encounter with Henry several years ago. He was a junior agent in the force then and was not yet in the anti-asassination squad. He was at the office reception when Henry had rushed with a friend in tears, to report a gang of three guys who molested his sister to death. Dakolo took special interest in the case and did all he could do to get justice for Henry. But lack of funds and the culprit's father's influence did not let him go far in his fight for Henry. The culprit, Dare Lawal, was later acquitted and discharged by the court of law.

He remembered advising Henry then, to continue with his studies and not allow what happened affect his future. Now, the same Henry was known widely in the world for his exploits on the internet and for helping his country solve a severe security attack. His enemies too had been paid by nemesis in its own way.

Dakolo's phone rang. His wife. He exhaled deeply before answering. 'Hello dear... I just got to the hotel room... Thanks, I'll call you later... I love you' the call ended.

He got up from the bed to get his traveling bag. He opened the bag and took out a suitcase. He punched in the lock code and it opened. He brought out some documents and closed back the suitcase. He began to read through.

Before his arrival in Abuja, he had already began to receive messages on what he was going there to do. The new case of Jubril Lawal's assassination also came up. He was going to be working with Officer Ken on that.

Jubril Lawal's assassination was quite different from the recent past ones. Eyewitnesses had it that it was carried out by a man and he wasn't accompanied by anybody. Officer Ken had also written in his report that it was highly possible that the crime was carried out by one of the security officials of the event centres as the escape routes used were only places known to them. Several of the security officials had been arrested and kept in the police custody for interrogation. Several sessions of torture and torments had occurred within the last two days but there was still no confession to show for it'

Dakolo's phone rang again. Officer James was the one calling. 'Hello officer' Dakolo spoke cheerfully.

'Good afternoon sir' James greeted. 'How was your trip?'

'It was fine, thanks'

'Alright, thank God. Yesterday, I received my letter of transfer also'

'Transfer ?' Dakolo replied, surprised.

'Yes sir, coupled with the long overdue promotion'

'Wow! Congratulations' Dakolo rejoiced with him. The promotion had been long overdue truly. After several cases solved by James, the force still retained him as a special officer for so long, denying him the promotion and several other benefits.

'Thank you sir' James said without much excitement.

'What's wrong?' Dakolo asked, noticing the unhappy voice.

'Nothing sir, I'm really happy about the promotion part but I think the reason it's happening is because of my inability to solve this Samantha Osman's case. I overheard the IG saying that the minister wants more younger and zealous officers who are very hungry for promotion to handle the case'

'Don't think like that' Dakolo said after heaving a sigh. 'We've done our best based on the evidence gotten. Even the NSCC has a part to play in all these. If they've not been able to recover the lost footages or discover who interrupted the transmission of the security cameras, what are we supposed to use for our investigation. I believe we don't have enough data to work with'

'Sir, several years ago. Assassination cases were solved by the police without the use of the technology we use now. Why can't we...'

'Officer James' Dakolo cut in. 'Several years ago, Assassins do not use the kind of technology they use now. Several years ago, most top assassination cases like these spans for more than fifteen years, some even exceed thirty years without getting an headway. So you shouldn't compare, the police force is better now'

James was quiet.

'Don't blame yourself, we'll keep trying our best but be sure of this one thing' Dakolo paused for a brief moment. 'Good always prevail over evil'

'Thank you sir' James replied after another brief moment of silence, in a very low voice.

'So where have you been sent to?'

'Ilorin, Kwara State. I'm going to be working as a special agent in the anti-assasination squad also'

'Sounds cool... Congratulations, just keep doing your best. We'll prevail'

'Thank you sir'

After few other talks, the call ended. Dakolo returned to his work, he continued reading through the documents. He paused as he saw something.

'No recordings or videos footages found in the cameras security database. It has not been ascertained if there was any capturing or not' he read. 'Except for one photographer that is currently being interrogated, no journalist or member of the press was allowed into the event hall. Footages from the street cameras leading to and out of the event centres were also not found' he read aloud to himself.

He just found a similarity between the new assassination case to the two others, there was no video capture of the Assassination process nor the escape. Could it be that the assassin works in or has an ally in the NSCC?

'Oh shit!' Dakolo cursed as Henry's picture flashed back to his mind. He should have been the one to take Henry's card, what if Henry forgets to call him.  Henry might be greatly needed now to help in these cases.

++++

A great intensity of heat welcomed Benny as he walked into the room. He changed his direction and headed straight for the wardrobe. His previous plan was to come in and lay on the bed after he couldn't stand the much beatings he got in the game from Aisha. Due to the unbearable heat in the room, he had changed his mind and decided to only change his trouser to shorts.

One of Cole's trousers dropped to the ground as Benny opened the wardrobe. He bent to pick it up. A phone fell out of the phone. He picked up the phone and checked it, it was specially customised for a user. He opened the back to check the battery and closed it back. He switched on the phone.

Tarasha - Chap 12 pt 4

Tears began to form in Henry's eyes as he listened to Jefa's narration of the Danjuma's family disaster and how he got separated from the rest of his siblings. There was no difference between Jefa's account from Evelyn's. Henry could also see the same pain and torment that he saw in Evelyn's eyes . But apart from the pain in Jefa's eyes, there was something else that Henry couldn't understand. It was the thirst for revenge.

'So you think Evelyn does not recognize you?' Henry cleared his throat and began after listening in silence for a long while.

'Omotara' Jefa corrected.

'Sorry, Omotara' Henry smiled softly.

'I don't think she knows who I am but I believe she felt a connection when she saw me' Jefa answered.

'Why didn't you speak out then? You didn't say anything, you could have called her by her real name, Omotara'

'I didn't know what to do' Jefa sniffed in, more tears began to fall off his face. 'I was so overwhelmed with the shock of seeing her, I didn't know if I was ready to come back into her life. I was afraid to speak, I didn't know how she would feel about me now, I couldn't protect them as their eldest brother, I failed' Jefa began to sob.

'Wipe your face please' Henry said and stretched out his hand to hold Jefa's palm. He waited for Jefa to comply before he continued. 'So what do you intend to do now?' Henry asked.

'I want to see her' Jefa stated clearly, still wiping his face.

Henry paused for a while and closed his eyes as he inhaled deeply. He opened his eyes and stared into Jefa's. 'I don't know where she is now' he said. 'She doesn't work here in Elymax, she only came to stay here for a while. I don't have any idea of her whereabouts'

'No, no, no' Jefa's body vibrated in fear, the fear of not seeing his sister again. He couldn't stand the regrets that would follow him all his life when he remembers that he didn't take the opportunity immediately when he saw her.

'I came here to look for her also and I've not gotten any clue yet' Henry added. He took out a folded paper from his pocket, he opened it up and stared into it. That was Evelyn's details which she provided to the hotel. It was all fake. She claimed to be  a visitor from Canada, including a fake house and Street address. Henry felt no hope of seeing her again.

'I must find her' Jefa said to himself, loud enough for Henry to hear.

'We can find her' Henry joined excitedly suddenly remembering something, he took out his Android phone. He unlocked the phone by drawing the security pattern. He clicked on an application which began to process.

'I can get access to everybody's database in the country as far as I've got their real names' Henry boasted with a reassuring look to Jefa. 'I once worked in the National Citizens Affairs and we have the details of every citizen who is above the age of eighteen'

Henry could really gain access, illegal access though. He would have to hack into the country's online database.

The application was taking time to load. 'So where have you been all these years?' Henry asked, trying to while away time.

'It's a long story...' Jefa was about to begin.

'Okay, okay' Henry interrupted, the application had finished booting. 'What did you call her full name again?'

'Omotara Danjuma' Jefa answered.

Henry typed in the name and clicked a command which began to process. Several options began to appear, in thirty seconds, there were over twenty options with middle names and it was still loading.

'Humm... Could you tell her middle name so I can narrow down my search'

'Omotara Cindy Danjuma'

Henry cleared the search and added the third name, the search process began again. This time only four options appeared. Henry clicked on the first option and it began to load. After sometime, it showed an error page. Jefa stared into the phone intently, though he didn't understand what Henry was doing.

'Oops! Inaccessible' Henry read aloud to himself. That means that he couldn't access the details from his IP address even if he could access the site. He smiled to himself. Other Nigerian developers were growing fast too, they have been able to add more security to the database. But it wasn't something that could stop Henry permanently, he only needed more time.

A phone call from Sylvester interrupted. 'Please, I have to answer this' he said to Jefa before answering. 'Hello sir'

'Mr Henry, where are you at?' Sylvester's voice came hastily from the other end.

'Somewhere around town' Henry answered, surprised at the question.

'Please, we need you in the office right away. We have some urgent questions to answer' Sylvester said. Henry could have refused but Sylvester's tone sounded really urgent.

'Okay, I'll be there in few minutes time' Henry replied.

'We'll be waiting for you please' Sylvester said and the call ended.

'I have to go now' Henry said to Jefa who was already staring at him expectantly. He stood up immediately.

Jefa stared at Henry with a pity face, looking like his last object of hope was about to disappear.

'Can I get your phone number too?' Henry asked after handing Jefa his business card.

Jefa called out the digits for him and Henry stored it in his phone. 'Where are you going? Maybe I could drop you off the way' Henry offered, taking out his car key from his pocket.

Henry's phone beeped again. His device locator had a notification, one of his tracked devices had just been located. Henry ignored the notification temporarily and walked out of the building with Jefa.

~~

The phone booted with a medium volume power tone. Benny waited patiently for it to boot so he could see the features in it but he was disappointed when it finally booted, it was protected with a password. He flung the phone back into the wardrobe and picked out his shorts. He quickly changed into his shorts and left the room.

Tarasha was seated upright when he passed the living room, he avoided looking at her and walked out straight to join Cole and Aisha.

'You're back again for more?' Cole taunted. Cole and Aisha were already in the middle of a round. Cole had taken Benny's former seating position which was opposite Aisha so Benny opted for the available space which Cole used before.

'I'm not ready for you today' Benny replied Cole. 'I'll deal with you both some other time'

'Okay, let's hope so' Cole said with a short laugh.

'Who's got that phone you have inside?' Benny asked Cole.

'Which one?'

'It doesn't have a label. It dropped from one of your trousers'

Cole hissed. 'I don't really know who has it, I picked it from the car we rented for the last operation and I've been expecting for the Boss to ask if it's hers. I think it's for the guy that was in the car with us'

'Okay, but you better ask the boss. It's useless to you anyway'

'Useless? Because it's passworded?' Cole questioned. 'I could flash it if I have need of it'

'Just speak to the boss about it'

'It's not hers jare' Cole sounded convinced.

'Then why are you keeping it?'

Cole paused to stare at him. 'Don't you see it's not an ordinary kind of phone. It may be useful for something'

Benny shook his head at Cole's stubbornness. 'It's okay, as you wish'

~~

'Hello Chief Gab' Tarasha spoke into the phone in a pleasant voice.

'Tarasha, how are you?' Chief Gab sounded cool and happy.

'Fine Chief, thanks'

'Okay, how soon are we going to see again?'

'See again? Who says we're going to see again?'

'I mean about the next job'

'How many of our targets do we still have left?' Tarasha drifted a bit and asked a question which kept Chief Gab mute for seconds.

'Two' he finally said. 'Two main targets but more enemies may come up along the line'

'Send me details of the two and let's see how we can take them out together at a time'

'Do you think it would be possible that way?'

'I have to get their details first to be able to analyze that. We have no options than to try it that way. Things are getting more complicated and the country is tightening up their security'

'Alright, I'll mail them to you now but do you know our deal does not end with the death of the targets?'

'What ends the deal?'

'It's a two year deal'

'So you're gonna keep me even if there's no job to do?'

'There'll always be a job to do' Chief Gab sounded confident.

Tarasha paused and took in a deep breath. 'Send me the details as soon as possible' she said before ending the call.

~~

Dakolo's job had began already, he was already in the NSCC's head office for questioning. Part of the reason he had come to Abuja before his official arriving date was to make some secret personal investigation.

He had just seen Mr Sylvester, the head of operation in the corporation and asked him about the steps the corporation was taking to stop the recent security breaks.

'While we are not assuring you of finding the source of the previous disruptions, we are doing our best to ensure that none of it happens again' Mr Sylvester had answered.

'But what about the one which happened recently here in your backyard?' Dakolo had replied him.

Sylvester replied with a shocking look. 'What do you mean? Which one happened here?'

'Oh! You're not aware that there was no transmission from the street cameras all close to the location of the recent assassination during the time of assassination and two hours after it'

'Which one are you talking about?' Sylvester still looked ignorant.

'Chief Jubril Lawal's assassination on his birthday' Dakolo stated.

'No, nothing like that has been reported. There was no failure from our systems that day' Sylvester refuted.

Dakolo gave a mock chuckle. 'Okay, can I see all footages from the street that day?' Dakolo then requested.

'Of course, I can get that for you now' Sylvester began to punch commands hastily into his computer system. After minutes of searching and not finding anything, Dakolo's allegation began to seem true to him. He put a call to the NSCC official in charge of the assassination area to report and waited some minutes for reply. The official couldn't find any record too. Dakolo had no other choice than to call on Henry. Things were getting out of hand already and he was scared that he could lose his job if it was mentioned in the public that even he as the chairman of the corporation had no knowledge of their recent system failure. He silently thanked God that the police had not released information about it to the press.

Henry arrived some few minutes later and went into a secret room where Sylvester was waiting for him.

'Mr Henry' Sylvester got up from his seat as Henry walked in. 'Here' Sylvester handed a document he just printed to Henry after offering him a handshake. He ushered Henry to a seat behind the computer.

'There was a breach on Thursday?' Henry asked with a flabbergasted tone.

'Yes, I didn't believe it too when I was told ' Sylvester joined in. 'And to think that the incompetent fools in charge of the area did not notice anything nor did they make any report'

Henry remained silent for some minutes and focused his attention on the computer. 'But why was there no alert? Or alarm raised by the system?'

'Sir, there have always been no alarm raised since the security breaks started'

'And does that also mean that...' Sylvester's phone rang aloud interrupting their conversation.

'The agent' Sylvester whispered before answering the call. 'Hello... I'm coming with him already'

'Do we have to go now?' Henry whispered back.

'Yes, I'll be there with him in some few minutes' Sylvester concluded with his call before answering Henry. 'Let's go explain things to this man. He's a top security agent, his report about us could cost me my job'

Henry had no choice than to smile at the sound of the word "job" from Sylvester again. The man was always scared of losing his job. 'Okay, let's go' Henry got up from the seat.

Few minutes later, they walked into the room where Dakolo was seated. Dakolo who was facing front turned back his swivel at their entrance.

'Oh! Henry' Dakolo was first to notice.

'Officer Dakolo' Henry was surprised too.

'Agent Dakolo' he corrected.

'Sorry, agent Dakolo' Henry said with a smile.

There was an handshake between them again. 'Are you by any chance the person I've been waiting for?' Dakolo asked.

'I guess so' Henry replied, turning around the table to seat behind the computer.

'So you've been working with NSCC?' Dakolo asked.

'I've actually come to help for a short time. I joined few weeks ago' Henry answered.

Sylvester was smiling sheepishly as he watched the two talk like people who have been friends for a long while. He believed that things would work out easier now and the Agent wouldn't be too mad at the corporation, and his "job" would be secured

'Thank God I have you here, I was already thinking of calling you in. Well, I'm here in respect of the recent breaks in streets cameras transmission'

'I'm aware sir, I've actually been working on a program that would stop the breaks permanently, although it may not guarantee us the real locations of those who try to break it'

'So, can you try locate those who did the recent one? How come you guys were not even aware?'

'Truly, the guys monitoring the place were not vigilant enough' Henry replied.

'Damn! They were too careless' Dakolo said. 'Has anyone of them been queried?' Dakolo asked. He received no answer from Henry who had turned his full focus to what he was doing on the computer. Dakolo turned to Sylvester for an answer. Sylvester shook in fear, not knowing what to say, he stared at Henry, hoping he'll come to his aid.

'Wow!' Henry exclaimed and exhaled through his mouth. 'These guys are intelligent!'

'Which guys?' Dakolo asked. Sylvester also seemed very interested.

'The guys involved in this crime' Henry said, relaxing back into the swivel. 'What they actually do is to deceive those monitoring the transmission and footages. They stop the cameras from transmitting and send signals of repeat transmission of previous days to the monitors . So the supervisors would not notice there was anything until they are asked to provide the tapes'

'Interesting! So you mean there was something playing on the screens of those monitoring it while the real transmission had already stopped?'

'Yes, the only places that would not receive the fake signals is here in the headquarters, in the Lagos head office and head police cameras division. These places have the direct servers while the others don't'

'Then why wasn't it noticed here?' Dakolo asked.

'There's no way we can monitor everywhere at the same time. That's why branches were set up'

'So, what are we going do now?'

'We've only just found out the mode of the failure, we can be able to find a solution now' Henry said softly. 'But as for finding the source of the failure, we have less than 1% probability. The hacker who did this is smart and would definitely lead one into a trap if we're desperately trying to follow his already covered tracks. He'll just create another track leading to his trap . That explains what happened to Robin Kahn and his men'
