Rex watched in anger and disgust as the truck drove off. He
wondered who the truck driver was and where he had come
from. He had carefully planned this attack and did not see
signs of anyone showing up to save Tarasha during his
planning. His mind was disturbed for a while. Then he
noticed the brightness behind him, the headlights of the car
was still on. Then he saw his body and clothes dirty and
filled with dust, he had been forced to lay flat on the floor to
escape being hit by the truck. He began to dust his body with
his bare hands as he returned to the car, feeling angry and
defeated. He stopped at the driver's side and opened the
door, he flung the guns and the torch in his hands to the
passenger's side and stared around the place again before
entering.
'Dear Goodness!' Chief Rikau exclaimed in a loud voice. 'I
thought you were dead.'
Rex glanced at him but said nothing in reply. He readjusted
the rearview mirror and wiped his forehead with his palm
before starting the car engine.
'Call the Vice President, tell him she's gone but may be back
very soon.' he ordered Chief Rikau as they drove off.
Chief Rikau obeyed and passed the information to the Vice
President. Rex drove on a high speed until he was about to
turn into the main road which led to the roundabout, his
eyes met with something and he suddenly slowed down and
turned on the trafficator. Luckily for him, there was no car
coming behind theirs. The road had been deserted
immediately after the gunshots. The noise from police sirens
could already be heard approaching from different angles.
Rex reversed the car a little backwards, staring at something
by the side. Chief Rikau stretched his neck to see what he
was staring at. It was a taxi parked just off the road. Rex
reversed more and turned out of the road, he parked
behind the taxi.
'She didn't go with the car she brought,' he said to Chief
Rikau as he killed the engine and stepped out.

'Wow wow wow! See who we've got here,' Don Dan said
mockingly as he strolled into the room where Aisha was tied
to a chair. Stainless and Stone followed him closely behind.
'My sweetheart who has abandoned me to follow a fellow
girl like her.'
Don stopped at her front and took off the fold covering her
mouth, he smiled on seeing the furious but helpless look on
her face.
'Where are my parents?' she barked out immediately her
mouth was free.
'That's quite rude bae. Have you lost your manners? Is that
the first question you ask when you meet your real boss and
lover?'
'You're none of that anymore,' Aisha snapped, staring at him
with disgust shown on her face. 'And stop beating around
the bush. Where are my parents and what's the deal you
brought me here for?'
'Be patient dear,' Don said walking back to her. He covered
her mouth back with the fold easily even with her struggle to
put up resistance. 'Let Cole come first, I know he's
somewhere on his way, tracing you here.' He added an evil
roar of laughter as he turned back and walked out of the
room. Stainless followed him and then Stone followed too
after staring at her for few seconds. He made a loud bang
with the door as he joined his colleagues.

Rex was driving when the smaller phone began to ring, he
picked the phone with his right hand and stared at the
screen, he saw the name 'Cole'. He stared at it for some few
more seconds before the call ended. He dropped the phone
and picked his, he then dialed Don's phone number.
'How is it going there?' he asked immediately the call was
answered.
'It's going well Rex, I've been waiting for your call,' Don
replied with enthusiasm. 'We've gotten the girl and we're
waiting for the guy to come around. Like you said, they came
together and have been in close contact with each other.'
There was a brief silence. 'Do you know who is called Cole?'
Rex asked.
'Yes, Cole is the guy who came with her?'
'Thank you,' Rex said calmly. 'I'll call you back in one
minute.'
He ended the phone and picked Tarasha's small phone
again. He took a brief glance at the Inspector General at the
back seat and said to him, 'Start making arrangements for a
car to pick you up, I'll drop you off at the next bus stop.'
A frown formed on Chief Rikau's face immediately. He
checked his wristwatch and stared outside to see where they
were, then he took out his phone to make a call.
Rex opened the call register on Tarasha's small phone, he
expanded the missed call list and crammed Cole's number.
Then he dropped the phone and continued driving for three
more minutes until he got to a junction and pulled over just
after the junction. 'Tell them to come and pick you here,' he
said to the Inspector General as he picked his own phone.
He opened the messaging app on his phone and typed in
Cole's number which he had crammed, he tapped the enter
key and typed below, 'Track this number, it's Cole's.'
______
**55 minutes later**
'Stop please,' Omotara suddenly said in a commanding
tone.
Henry took a quick glance at her, he knew her reason for
asking him to stop was connected to the notification
delivered by her wristwatch. 'What's the matter?' he asked as
he turned on the trafficator.
'I need to go back to Metro street,' she said, taking off the
seat belt as Henry gradually brought the car to a halt.
'What?' Henry stared at her, surprised.
'I need to pick up something I forgot in the car and I also
promised to return that car,' she said and attempted to open
the door.
Henry grabbed her hand, 'Which car are you talking about
and what did you forget?'
'I borrowed a cab and forgot my two devices there,' she
stared at him and tried wriggle off his hand but he held on
firmly
'But we can't get other devices and block those ones
completely,' Henry said.
'What about the files stored on it?' she argued.
'Your storage is connected to the server at home,
remember?' Henry replied in a confident tone.
She heaved a sigh and stared at him, she felt she had given
him too much freedom to know so much about her
activities. 'But I also need to return the car, besides Cole and
Aisha seems to be in danger, I need those devices to be sure
of what help they need.'
Henry stared at her quietly for a few seconds, trying to
decide whether to allow her or not. He heaved a sigh and
released her hand. She tried to step out of the car but he
held her again. 'Don't go, you can connect Aisha and Cole
with my device ,' he said, pointing a tablet at the backseat to
her. 'I copied your system files into it.'
She hissed tiredly and stared back at him for some seconds,
she seemed to be considering whether to stay or not.
Henry stretched to pick the device from the backseat for her,
hoping she would agree not to return, he knew he couldn't
stop her by force if she decided to still go.
'I need to make the other devices stop working first before it
gets to the wrong hands,' she said as she took the phone
from him.
'We're just five minutes from home, try extract Cole and
Aisha's numbers first. I'll help you with that once we get
home,' he replied as he kicked off the engine.
_______
Cole stared at the gate from his dark hideout, confused. He
tapped the power button by the side of his phone again
softly, it turned on. He opened the call register and dialed
Tarasha's number again. A system automated voice replied
him, saying the line was now switched off. This added to his
frustration, 'Was the boss now turning her back against them
now?' He asked as he returned the phone to his pocket.
Maybe she wanted them to sort out this challenge solely by
themselves and didn't want to interfere like she did in the
Robin Kahn's encounter.
He took out the tablet from the bag and turned it on, the
tracker app was running already. He selected 'Specify
Location' among several other options and a map displayed
immediately without any process of loading, it zoomed in
and showed him an address. He heaved a sigh and stared at
the big black gate again, he also took a quick glance at his
wristwatch. Aisha had been taken in for almost one hour
and there had been no movements since she had been
placed at a position.
He had been there watching the gate all through, but he had
not seen anybody go in or come out. He glanced at his
wristwatch again, and then at the gate unconsciously,
wondering when he was going to see any activity take place
there.
______
**20 minutes later**
'Here, you can call him now,' Henry turned towards Tarasha
as he heard the door creak open. She walked in, already
changed into tight shorts and a mini top which stopped
above her abdomen. She proceeded towards him and took
the phone, a phone number had been already typed into the
dial pad so she clicked the green button and sat on the seat
beside Henry.
'Cole,' she called softly after the call was answered.
'Boss, they've got her in a highly secured building. I don't
know what's going on with her, I think the earpiece must
have been discovered and taken off from her clothes,' Cole
replied, rushing his words.
'How long has she been taken in?' Tarasha asked after some
seconds of silence.
'About one hour now, I've been trying to re...'
'Are you been conscious of your environment?' She cut in as
she was certain that he was about to complain of his not
been able to reach her for almost two hours.
'Yes, nobody has seen me here, I'm behind a stature.'
'Rael University road right? I can see your location here,'
Tarasha said, staring into the computer monitor at Henry's
front.
'Yes, somewhere close to...' Cole was saying but the line
went dead suddenly.
She stared at the screen briefly before dialing again, it rang
once and stopped connecting. She tried again and it
returned the same response.
'What's the matter?' Henry asked, staring at her
inquisitively.
'I don't know yet,' she replied and dialed again.
_______
'Yes, somewhere close to...' Cole dropped to the floor as the
butt of Ojo's gun hit the back of his head.
'Pick him up,' Ojo ordered his boys. The three boys
responded to his order and picked Cole up, they followed
Ojo's lead as they proceeded towards the gate.
**20 minutes later**
In a large and empty room without any kind of furnitures,
Cole laid unconscious, sprawled on the floor. Ojo and the
three boys surrounded him with pistols in their hands.
The main entrance door flung open and in came Don,
Stainless and Stone, followed by two other boys who carried
blindfolded Aisha in the chair she was tied to.
'Nice job Ojo,' Don clapped his hands as he proceeded
towards them. 'You've done great.'
'Thanks boss,' Ojo replied with a brief smile.
'I also saw a girl with your boys, is that the catch for tonight?'
Don asked with a crooked smile as he got closer to Ojo and
the boys. 'Not really a catch, she's a prey but I'll also make
sure I have her before ending her life.' Ojo replied. |
Just as she reached twenty five metres to the car, a red
sharp light shone to her face penetrating the shield and
entering into her eyes. It made her eyes hot and she could
not move further. Before she knew it, she was on her knees,
trying to evade the light but couldn't.
She struggled and turned her back to the light, she got up
and tried to find her way back but her eyes were still hot and
she staggered with slow steps. She tried to hurry up as she
felt someone coming behind her, she also heard the sound
of the cocking of a gun.
It was the first time in her life since she had joined Nefary
Clan that she was greatly scared. She couldn't find her way
back and she knew someone, most likely a police officer was
coming for her. Now, she wasn't scared for her life as she
believed she had nothing to lose if she was shot dead at that
moment, that was her assassin mentality. What really made
her scared and desperate was the possibility of dying
without first murdering the killers of her brother.
She managed to cock her gun as she felt the person coming
was closer to her. Then suddenly, another vehicle shone it's
headlight towards her direction, she glanced back and saw
dimly, a truck driving towards her direction, she could also
see her pursuer, a man with a pistol in his right hand and
then the torch reflecting the red harmful light in his left.
The man turned towards the truck and tried to aim at the
bus as it sped towards him, he shot sporadically at the front
glass of the truck but the bullets did not penetrate.
____
Even though he knew the glass was bullet proof, Henry still
made attempt to dodge the bullet as he drove. He felt the
truck hit the man but didn't stop at that until the front of the
truck hit the fence. He then reversed the vehicle and turned,
he drove after Omotara.
'Get in here,' he shouted as he got beside closer. She was
still staggering forward, trying to run away from her pursuer
and the unknown vehicle.
'Get in,' he shouted again as he leveled up by her side,
already swerving the car back into the road. He felt she
heard him this time but couldn't see her as she was by the
side of the truck now. He quickly left the driver's seat to the
other one, he saw her struggling to open the door.
'Move back, I'll open for you' he shouted and she complied.
He opened the door and pulled her into the vehicle then he
closed the door and moved back quickly to the driver's side.
He could feel the vibration as a car hit the truck's back He
drove on as fast as he could, watching the place behind
through the side mirror. The place was left in disarray, there
was a bus that had collided with the truck's behind, the
bonnet side of the bus had been crushed. So many people
had gathered into the street, by the side of the road. He
tried to check the spot where the body of the man who was
walking towards Omotara with a gun , who he had hit with
the vehicle was but he could not see anything.
He drove out of the street and into the main road towards
the roundabout, he took a glance at Omotara. She had her
head buried in her laps and her hair scattered all over.
'Are you okay?' Henry asked in a calm tone.
She raised up her head slowly and arranged her hair, there
were tears on her cheeks, an effect of the light. She wiped
her face with her palm and sat, staring out straight through
the front glass. She consciously avoided looking towards
Henry's direction.
Henry kept stealing glances at her face as he drove on, he
knew she deliberately wanted it silent and he played along.
He took a different route instead of passing the road leading
to the Vice President's office. After about forty five minutes
total of driving, he brought the truck to a halt and turned off
the engine.
'I brought a different vehicle,' he said, taking a quick glance
at Omotara before opening the door. He jumped down and
slammed the door, he crossed to the other side to help her
but she was out already before he got there. He pointed her
to a car just in front and led the way, he stopped to look
back after turning to the driver's side, she was still standing
in front of the truck and staring at it.
She quickly turned and proceeded to the car as she felt his
eyes on her. She opened the door and entered first before
he did.
'Do you have a shirt under that?' Henry asked, referring to
the top of the police uniform.
The question brought back Tarasha to reality, she was
previously lost in the world of her thoughts and serious
wondering. She was still highly baffled by her slim escape
from death. She could have died or probably be been
captured if Henry had not showed up at the right time.
'Do you have something under?' Henry asked again.
She stared at her body and realized then that she was
supposed to wear something else other than the police shirt.
She took off the shirt slowly and tossed it to the back seat.
She straightened the black singlet she still had on and rested
her back.
'Where did you get that truck from?' she asked after several
minutes of silent driving.
Henry flashed a look at her before answering, 'I went to get
it where it was kept.'
'How did you know where it was kept?' she asked, staring at
him with surprise on face.
Henry flashed another look at her, a dim smile appeared on
his face. He face the road back without replying her.
She stared at him curiously but was soon able to decipher
the answer without waiting for his reply. 'You have been
tampering with the files on our systems,' she accused.
'Not really,' he took a quick glance at her, trying to suppress
another smile. 'I was bored at home and decided to only go
through to help my boredom.'
'How did you know where I was?' she asked again.
'I tracked you when I called,' Henry answered. 'I got that
number from the system after trying the other one you gave
me several times without success.'
Tarasha stared at him expressionlessly, she wanted to ask
more questions but decided to keep quiet and fish out the
remaining answers she needed in other ways other than
asking.
'I heard on news flash about your threat to the Vice
President, that was when I started searching for another
number I could reach you with,' Henry said after a brief
moment of silence. He took a longer stare at her. She did
not return his stare but he could read from her body
language the desire to hear him speak more about how he
found her. 'I couldn't connect to your original number but I
found a list of several other telephone numbers you've used
or you're planning to use. After trying a couple of phone
numbers without reaching you, I decided to copy the
numbers and get out of the house, I kept on trying the
numbers as I drove in this car to the Vice President's office.'
'But then you were so desperate to stop me from killing the
Vice President that you went ahead to get the truck?' She cut
in.
'No, I wasn't desperate to stop you.' Henry replied calmly. 'I
didnt come out of the house to save the Vice President, I
came because I had a feeling you may get into trouble.'
She stared at his face deeply for a while as if to verify if he
had spoken the truth. She turned her face back in silence
and heaved a deep sigh.
'What were you going to do there?' Henry broke the silence.
She turned her face to stare at him again, this time she was
trying to see if she could confide in him. 'I was going to meet
the Inspector General,' she finally said. He flashed a look at
her, his eyebrows squeezed inquisitively. 'I wasn't going to
kill him, I was going to abduct him first.' she added.
'Abduct him for what?' Henry probed.
'I need him to reveal the names of the other people who
were with him that day he molested me,' she said in a low
voice.
Henry could feel the pain in her voice, he glanced at her and
saw her rubbing her left eye with a finger but there was no
tear, the only time he had ever seen her cry was the day she
told him the story of her parent's murder.
Henry was speechless, no meaningful word seemed to form
in his mind.
'Did you see the Vice President when you were driving
towards me?' Tarasha asked.
'No, I didn't see him. I only saw the man pointing the torch
and walking closer to you.'
She heaved another sigh, 'That light worked like the gas I
used for the office at the maximum security prison, I don't
know that they have those kind of mechanism in the
Nigerian Police too or do you know if they had a foreign
officer working with them?'
'No, there's no way I'll have that kind of information.' Henry
replied her with a frown.
'Then where could they have gotten that torch from, or who
was the man who attacked me with the torch?' she asked
thoughtfully, not expecting any answer from Henry.
'What matters now is that you're okay,' Henry said.
'That's what matters to you,' she replied in a sharp tone. 'My
life does not matter to me now, what matters is killing all the
basta*ds that deserves to die.' Her wristwatch vibrated again
and the screen showed the danger colour. |
'Aisha, why has your direction changed?' Cole spoke into the
phone. There was no response from Aisha heard, the only
thing he could hear was the horning of cars. 'Aisha, are you
there?' he spoke again. This time he felt a vibration on his
wrist. The screen of his wristwatch had turned red, signaling
danger.
'What could be wrong?' he asked himself as he cut the call.
'Why did she need help so quick even without getting to the
Bolevian garden yet?' he asked again as he stared at the
wristwatch screen closely.
'Oga, pull over he said to the driver who was already peering
at him through the rearview mirror. .
'Huh?' the cab man replied with a frown, Cole's words
sounded more like a command to him which he didn't like.
Cole rested his palms on the backrest of the car and used it
to lift himself to the passenger's side beside the driver.
'What are you doi...' the driver had not finished talking when
Cole took him out with the butt of his gun.
_____
Tarasha increased the speed of the car after the call, she
was just two streets before Metro now and was fast
approaching the Inspector General. She had to suddenly
slow down as her Android device vibrated on her lap. She
took a quick look at the caller's ID. It was an unsaved
number but she recognized it. She wondered why Henry was
calling at that time and how he even got the number of the
sim in the android phone. She ignored and it soon stopped
ringing. She was about to speed up again when it began to
ring again. She heaved a sigh of frustration. If the call
continues, it was going to disturb her use of the device. It
stopped ringing again and started after a space of five
seconds, it started again. She finally swiped the green icon
hesitatingly and placed it on loud speaker.
'Henry, you shouldn't be calling by this time.' she said in a
scolding manner.
'Omotara, where are you?' Henry asked, ignoring her first
remark. His voice was full of fear and concern.
'Henry, don't disturb for now. I'm working, I'll get back to
you later.' she said in a bid to end the call.
'Tara, please don't do it.' she heard him say as she was
about to end the call.
'Don't do what?' she thought at first that he was asking her
not to end the call.
'You have a meeting with the Vice President by 8pm...'
'That?' Tarasha cut in. 'I think you shouldn't interfere,' she
snapped and ended the call.
She was annoyed with Henry's behavior as she drove on,
she remembered Cole once warning her about him and how
he could cause danger. She knew Henry must have broken
through the security of one of their computer systems and
gotten the sim number from it. She became more pissed off
as it occurred to her that he could even be tracking her now
since the device he called her with was not protected, it
couldn't be used to track if it was protected itself.
She had not driven too far when her wristwatch vibrated and
the screen light turned red. She raised her hand closer to
her face to have a better view of the message displayed.
The alarm was from Aisha and it signified she needed help,
she shook her head with an unhappy sigh, disappointed that
Aisha could be requesting for help so early in the mission.
She turned off the wristwatch screen and continued driving,
she believed Cole was able to provide the assistance needed
since they could communicate directly to each other.

**Meanwhile, somewhere on Rael University Campus**
7.37pm
'Hey! Good evening,' Stephanie George replied another
student's greeting with a pleasant smile and wave. A frown
returned to her face immediately after the greeter walked
away. She continued checking the time on her phone from
time to time and would stare around to see if there are any
signs of the person she was waiting for. She had been
waiting for more than an hour and had called twice to ask
him where he was to which he replied that he was stuck in
traffic jam and was still coming to meet her.
Stephanie was beginning to feel uneasy, it was already dark
and she wasn't used to staying out at that time alone. She
and Taofeek, another top executive of the SWAD had
planned to have a night view around the hostel which she
was standing in front of. Complains and cries about the
devastating state of the hostel from the students had caught
their attention and the SWAD had decided to come to the
school's aid to renovate the facility but they had to check for
themselves to confirm the problem. Stephanie and Taofeek
who were top officials of the SWAD would be given unlimited
access to any part of the facility and that would enable them
to make a budget and estimate of what is needed.
Soon, a car pulled up to the curb at the other side of the
road directly opposite the gate. Two guys stepped out of the
car, one from the passenger's side at the front and the other
from the backseat. They waited for a bike to speed pass the
unbusy road before they crossed.
Stephanie could see them coming towards the gate, she
wondered who they were. To her they looked like some of
the rich spoilt brats on campus and she concluded that they
had come to pick a girl or some girls for a party.
But the boys didn't walk past her, they stopped right at her
front. One of them flashed his teeth at her and placed his
hands on his waist. She could perceive the smell of Indian
hemp and alcohol from their bodies.
'Good evening, how may I help you please?' she greeted
politely after flashing a look at the both of them.
They exchanged knowing looks and the one who smiled first
let out a chuckle. She knew now that they must be one of the
bad gangs on campus, but she stared at them unafraid,
thinking that they had just stopped by to threaten her. And it
was also some minutes to eight pm, that wasn't a dangerous
time of the night to stay outside and most bad gangs don't
carry out their activities as early as that.
She stepped back slowly as one of the boys moved closer,
she stopped when her back almost touched the gate. He
stopped too and flashed his teeth at her again. He placed his
gaze at her breast region and began to smack his lips
lustfully and rub his hands together, a white handkerchief
was tied to his wrists.
Stephanie quickly tried to reach into her pocket with her
right hand while she stretched the left towards the gate bell.
The man was fast to react, seeing that she could bring out a
pepper spray or another harmful substance, he quickly
loosened the handkerchief on his wrist and covered her
nose with it. She was able to tap the bell but couldn't take
out what was in her pocket. She fell unconscious into his
hands. The other guy standing at the back quickly stepped
forward to help. Both of them lifted her together and carried
her into the car.
Some students walking past who knew who they were were
initially scared to raise an alarm until the car drove off.

7.42pm
**Abuja**
'Rex,' he could hear the Inspector General call his name
from behind. He rose up and proceeded backwards.
'What's the matter again?' he asked, stopping before the
Inspector General.
'Sorry, I just saw that lady and I thought she could be the
one, I thought I should call your attention.'
Rex glanced towards the place where the Inspector General
was looking towards, he could see a girl dressed in a mini
skirt and a armless top. He turned back to the Inspector
General with a mocking smile, 'You are a sissy, she's not the
one,' with that he turned back and walked round the front of
the car to the driver's side. He opened the door and entered
into the car. He picked his stopwatch at the passenger's side,
he took a look at the reading and then checked the time on
his phone before resetting the process. He put on his seat
belt turned on the car engine at exactly one minute and
seven seconds.
______
Tarasha was approaching the roundabout to Metro road
when her phone rang again, the smaller one this time. Cole
was the one calling. She was full of anger in her heart as she
answered the call.
'What in hell do you want now?' she answered the call.
'I'm sorry boss but I got Aisha's alarm but I couldn't connect
to her,' Cole replied.
'Then what the hell are you calling me for? Find her and help
her, that's the reason you went with her.' she said and cut
the call angrily.
She checked the time on her phone and sighed, a lot of time
had been wasted on the unnecessary calls, she needed to
verify the man's location again. She dialed the Inspector
General's number again and turned on the screen of the
android device, she was able to pick the location even
though the call wasn't answered. The location was the same
and she was very close to him.
______
'She's calling again,' Chief Rikau announced to Rex. Rex was
still staring at the stopwatch, waiting for the right time to
drive.
He took a glance back to Rikau and said, 'Don't answer yet'.
He took an Android device from the passenger's seat and
turned on the screen.
A tracking application similar to the same one Tarasha uses
was running. A map displayed covering the blank page and a
large black rounded spot appeared at a point and then
diminished immediately. He wasn't still able to determine
the exact location of the caller but the rounded black spot
was just a sign that the caller was very close, specifically less
than four kilometres from them.
'Move to the other side,' he said to Chief Rikau in a
commanding tone. Rikau answered. Rex pulled up the
passenger's seat and took out two short guns, he also picked
out a device in form of a handy torch and fixed back the
seat. He opened the door and stepped out.
______
7.46pm
Tarasha parked the car properly after driving past the
roundabout into Metro road and then the first street. She
took off the seatbelt and stretched to pick the two pistols
behind at the backseat, she filled them with cartridges and
stepped out of the car. She began to walk down the street
gently, the street map had shown her the exact spot the
Inspector General was; at the front of a two storey building
which was a popular IJMB centre.
She cocked one of the guns as she spotted the building, the
lights on the signboard of the IJMB centre had made it
easier. She could see a car parked at the gate of the
building, the headlights were on. She was sure the Inspector
General was in the car, so she proceeded faster. She crossed
to the other side and began to walk straight down to the car,
only about fifty metres far now. She used her police cap to
shield her eyes from the light.
Just as she reached twenty five metres to the car, a red
sharp light shone to her face penetrating the shield and
entering into her eyes. It made her eyes hot and she could
not move further. Before she knew it, she was on her knees,
trying to evade the light but couldn't. |
Tarasha maximized the call tracking application after the call
with Aisha ended, she picked the smaller phone with her left
hand and dialed the Inspector General's phone number
again. The call was not answered until the second trial.
'Hello,' Chief Rikau's gruff voice sounded through the loud
speaker.
Tarasha did not reply his call but busied herself with the
Android device, trying to determine the man's location.
'Hello,' the man's voice sounded again. Tarasha remained
quiet, the processing of the location was almost done.
It finished processing in three seconds and the location
appeared, she read it to herself and finally ended the call on
the smaller phone. She paused for a few seconds to read the
location again, the man was close to the Vice President's
office. He was supposed to be with the police at the Vice
President's office, so she wondered what he was doing at
metro street, few kilometres away from the expected
location. But that didn't matter to her, she wasn't disturbed
about where to meet him, all that mattered was capturing
him that night.
She started the car engine and pulled her seatbelt, then she
drove out of the dark place where she had hidden the car
and entered into the road.

'Are you sure she's the one?' Stainless asked Stone from the
backseat where he was seated with Aisha, staring at her
amusingly.
'Yea, I heard her phone conversations, the first one with the
person she intends to communicate with through the
mouthpiece and the second conversation with someone else
who seemed to be advising her.' Stone replied. He bent
slightly sideway to pick something on the passenger's seat
and stretched it backwards to Stainless. 'She looks so
different right?'
'Yea,' Stainless replied as he collected the picture from
Stone. For the next ten seconds, he kept staring at the photo
and at Aisha's face. He used one of his finger tips to touch
the tip of his tongue, then he touched Aisha's cheek with the
finger tip, trying to clean off the makeup covering. 'Aisha, is
this you?' he asked in a mocking tone and added an
annoying giggle.
She hit his hand away and gave him a look of disgust, 'What
are you guys doing?' I was coming to your boss already.'
Stainless stared at her silently with a crooked smile for the
first ten seconds, then he stretched his hand and reached
out to her neck. She hit his hand away again.
'Hey! Calm down, you need to take off that mouthpiece else
we won't make progress today,' Stainless said pointing to
her neck, but still using his eyes to search for the spot where
the mouthpiece was attached.
Aisha gave him a defensive look and clenched her fists.
Stainless smiled mockingly on seeing her changed
demeanour. He moved closer to her and placed his left leg
on her laps, he grabbed her arms with his strong arms and
tightened them together with his left hand before he
reached for neck with his other hand. He paused and landed
her a heavy slap as she tried to struggled to stop him, her
struggling seized and he was able to find and detach the
blue coloured tiny and wireless mouthpiece which had
camouflaged with her gown. He released her and crushed
the device with his fingers as he returned back to his
position. Aisha was staring at him angrily and panting
heavily but there was nothing she could do against Stainless
at the moment. He was stronger than her physically and also
had a partner in the same car. She took a glance at her bag
which had fallen to the floor by her side but it would also be
an unwise attempt if she tried to take out anything from it.
She also considered her parents, doing anything radical
could put them into more danger.
Stainless stared back at her face with a wicked smile lurking
around his lips. He released the crushed material from his
palm outside, through the opened window and rested back
properly. 'Your disguise is a very nice one,' he said as he
buttoned back his shirt which had loosened due to the
struggle properly. 'How in the world did you recognize her?'
he asked Stone.
'I didn't recognize her, I only decided to give it a try since I
was aware of her possible tricks. I saw her looking to and fro
when she stepped out from the gate, she refused to beckon
on other taxi drivers. I didn't know she would call me, all I
wanted to do was to go nearer and have a closer view. But
she stopped the cab and even requested to be taken to
Bolevian Garden, that was how I confirmed that she is our
target.'
Stainless flashed his teeth again at Aisha, she didn't return
his look. He decided to taunt her by touching her face, she
wriggled his hand away and tried to slap him with the back
of her palm but her hand could not touch him well.
'Come on babe, why are you taking it all hard on yourself?'
'What exactly do you want? I was coming to meet Don at the
garden already,' she snapped in a loud voice.
'You should not complain, you went against the rules. You
didn't come to Lagos without telling your boss and you also
brought someone else along, I guess he is that Don's former
boy that went with you to your new master.' Stainless
snapped back.

'Oga, can you lend me your car for today? I'll pay for it,' Cole
said to the cab man after some minutes of indecisiveness.
He would have loved to use force and hijack the car without
pleading with the man to borrow him but he decided not to
since he had seen his boss always use a gentle approach
first.
'I should lend you?' the cab man asked as if he didn't hear
properly. He took a quick glance at the backseat.
'Yes, ' Cole replied.
'I don't really lend people my car, but I can only drive you
anywhere you want me to.' he replied.
'Humn... I don't think you can drive me everywhere I'll like
to go and at the speed at which I want it.'
'I can, as far as it is somewhere within Lagos and you're
ready to pay me well.'
Cole decided to maintain silence for the moment until he
really needed to use the car. He moved his focus to his
device, he turned on the screen and inputted the password.
The phone unlocked and he clicked on the menu icon, he
selected the tracking app and waited for it to load. It finished
loading in ten seconds and a list of devices showed on the
dashboard. Two of the devices with long system
autogenerated names moved from the positions below to
the top, a green bar showed by the side of the two names
that moved upwards. Cole made a long click on the first
device name, a list of four options displayed, he selected
'rename' and typed in 'AISHA' into the dialog box that
popped up. The device was renamed. He clicked on the
name again twice and a blank page appeared, then in few
seconds, a map covered the blank page. It zoomed in and
the Ikeja area was shown. He placed his eyes focus on a tiny
moving dot on the map. The distance from the moving dot
to his was not up to a kilometre.
'Can you speed up a bit?' he raised his head briefly and said
to the cab driver. The man responded and began to drive
faster than he was doing before. 'I'll tell you when to reduce
your speed,' Cole added.
'Hmm, Oga, but you've not told me exactly where we are
going, you just said I should keep driving straight.'
'Humn... Okay, we're going to Bolevian garden right now.'
Cole replied. The driver nodded in response and added to
the speed of the vehicle again. 'Hey! I didn't ask you to
speed up,' Cole cautioned.
'Oh! Sorry,' the driver apologized and slowed down.
'Just maintain this until I give the next instruction,' Cole said.
'Hmm Oga, your money is increasing o.'
'I'll pay you, I told you to lend me the car already.' Cole said,
returning his gaze to his device. His facial expression
changed and he looked stunned for a second, 'Why is the
direction changing?' he muttered to himself.
'What did you say?' the driver asked.
'I wasn't talking to you,' Cole replied, with his eyes still fixed
to the screen. Aisha's direction which was towards the
Bolevian Garden had now changed to somewhere else
completely. He took out the phone he used to receive the
previous call and quickly dialed back her number.

'The call is coming again,' Chief Rikau said to Rex in an
alarmed tone, stretching out his neck through the window
from the backseat of the car. He couldn't see what Rex was
doing outside at the front of the car as it was dark already.
Rex had instructed him not to step out of the car.
'Maybe she's closer now,' Rex said, standing from where he
was squatting and doing something on the ground. 'Answer
the call,' he said on getting to the door side where Chief
Rikau was seated.
'Hello,' Chief Rikau spoke after answering, he placed it on
loud speaker.
'Hi Inspector General, ' a lady's voice sounded. 'Where are
you when your friend, the Vice President is in trouble?'
Chief Rikau stared up at Rex's face, expecting Rex to supply
him the right reply. Rex gave him a nod and signified with
his eyes that he should answer the question by himself.
'Who the hell are you?' Chief Rikau blasted after Rex's go
ahead signal.
'Come on, don't be silly. Of course you know who you're
speaking with,' Tarasha replied calmly with a brief chuckle.
'How many people are listening to this conversation?' she
asked with a changed tone.
'Huh?' Chief Rikau stared at Rex again. Rex replied with a
crooked smile this time.
'Damn it!' the Inspector General cursed, annoyed at Rex's
behaviour.
'What did you say?' she seemed to have heard him curse.
'Whoever you are, I promise you your end is near.'he
framed up a thick voice again.
'Oh! Shut up, just get ready, I'm attacking him tonight.' she
said and the connection ended immediately.
'Nice,' Rex's smile broadened while Chief Rikau stared at
him confused.
'I thought you were supposed to be giving me answers but
you kept quiet all through,' Chief Rikau complained.
'That would make her suspect something unusual, she would
know you're not the one giving the answers.'
'Well, but how did she know someone else was listening?'
'Come on, the Inspector General shouldn't ask such a dumb
question. The call was placed on loudspeaker, she would
detect that. But the good thing is that she would think you're
with some of your colleagues.'
Chief Rikau felt insulted by his remarks, but he knew
demanding for respect now wouldn't help matters with Rex.
But she has no business with me, she's going to kill the Vice
President.'
Rex stared at him for a few seconds, then a crooked smile
appeared on his face again. 'She'll be here in few minutes
time, make sure you stay in the car' he said boldly and
turned to return to the where he was squatting. |
She dialed the number for the second time but the line was
still busy. She tried to draw up a conclusion, the most
possible situation was that the Vice President was trying to
inform the police or the National intelligence squad, a unit
of the State Security Service about her threat. She waited for
over one minute before she tried again, this time it
connected.
'Have you made up your mind now?' she asked immediately
the call was answered.
'Let's meet, when and where do you want it to be?' the Vice
President replied in a decided tone.
Tarasha paused to think carefully, the man was sounding so
confident and his tone suggested to her that the man had
something or someone he had confidence in and was
depending on. 'Let's make it today,' she said but still
considering the if there were other options available. She
was only aware of the police and the NIS guarding him, so
she believed the Vice President must be depending on one
of the agents.
'Where?' the Vice President's voice from the phone snapped
her out of her thoughts.
'Ermm...' Tarasha seemed undecided for a moment. 'I'm on
my way to your office already and I'll be there at exactly
8pm,' she said, taking a quick look at her wristwatch.
'I'll be waiting for you,' the Vice President replied
confidently.
_____
He quickly scrolled down his dialed numbers list to check for
the Inspector General's number. He found it and dialed
immediately, it rang for some few seconds and ended
without being answered. He dialed again, this time it was
answered after the second ring but all he could hear was
noise and loud music playing at the background. The
Inspector General was saying something he couldn't make
out, then the call ended again. After some few seconds of
waiting, the Inspector General called back.
'Your Excellency sir, good evening.' The Inspector General's
voice sounded cool and somewhat relaxed, the background
was silent now.
'Good evening Rikau, I can see you're digging it at the party.'
The Inspector General chuckled in reply, 'I was actually
expecting you sir.'
'Yeah, sorry I couldn't make it.' Chief Elvis replied cheerfully.
There was a brief pause which made him remember that he
was almost forgetting the reason for his call. 'Inspector
Rikau, there's a bit of trouble now.' he said.
'Huh?' Chief Rikau's tone changed to a serious one.
'Yea, Samantha Osman called me and we have a meeting by
8pm tonight.'
'What?'
'Yea, but just listen to me.' he paused and cleared throat. 'I
want you to leave the NIS in charge, what you need to do is
excuse yourself from the party right now and meet with Rex
at the roundabout before Metro street.'
'But sir, I'm still going to be called by the NIS...'
'Don't argue! Don't answer any call except mine, let your
assistant handle anything you need to,' Chief Elvis
interrupted. 'Just follow what I tell you or you may have to
pay with your life.' He paused. There was a silence of few
seconds. 'Excuse yourself from the party now and meet with
Rex at the roundabout that leads to Metro street.' Chief Elvis
repeated.
_____
10 minutes later
Tarasha could see the several vehicles of the NIS driving
down the road, she knew their destination and was a bit
relieved that her plans were now working well. She checked
her wristwatch, it was 6:59pm. In thirty minutes time, she
was sure the officers would have perfectly arranged
themselves into strategic hiding places to trap her when she
enters into the Vice President's firm to see him in his office.
But that was never going to happen, she had other plans.
She started the car engine and put on her dark eyeglasses,
then she reversed the car out of the parking space into the
road.
She took out her Android device and placed it on her laps, at
the same time looking into the side mirror for cars coming
from the back. Then she picked out the smaller phone and
opened the contact list, she scrolled until she found Chief
Rikau's phone number. She took another look at the side
mirror then she took the opportunity to make a perfect turn
into the road and zoomed off.

**Ikeja, Lagos**
7pm
'Coming out already,' she said into the phone. Searching
around the roof of the elevator with her eyes. She was
dressed in a short blue party gown and had a black handbag
in her left hand.
'Okay, I've got my eyes on three people outside already. I
don't know if they are the ones,' the call receiver replied.
'What position were the guys?' she asked.
'At the left hand side of the gate,' he answered.
'I'll check them when I get outside, fix your gaze at the gate
and expect me in two to three minutes.'
'Okay.'
She ended the call and returned the phone into her pocket.
Soon, the elevator got to the last floor and stopped. The
door opened automatically and she stepped out. She took
quick glances at the guests at the mini bar and the reception
as she walked out of the building.
In two minutes like she had speculated, she stepped out
from the gate of the hotel, she looked right and left before
proceeding to stand by the side of the road to wait for a taxi.
Instead of stopping the passing taxis, she took some more
time to look left and right but she couldn't still find Cole or
the three guys Cole talked about. She was tempted to call
him on phone but she advised herself against it, it could
raise suspicions if there were really three guys waiting for
her. She knew they couldn't recognize her facially as she was
perfectly disguised but she was also aware that it was
possible that they were expecting her to be disguised and
may get suspicious of her if she stared around any longer.
She finally stopped a cab, she whispered the destination to
the cab driver and he signaled for her to hop in. She opened
the door to the backseat and sat in, looking around once
more and hoping Cole had seen her when she walked out of
the gate.
_____
Cole kept on watching them closely from where he sat
beside the hotel fence, putting on a street watchman
uniform. He had an unopened packet of cigarette on his lap
and a newly bought bottle of dry gin. Those he was viewing
remained seated in their car, making no movement which
suggested they recognized Aisha when she stepped out of
the gate. They had only glanced at the place briefly and paid
less attention when they saw a lady dressed in the blue
party gown.
Cole rose up from his sitting position and began to walk
down the street briskly, he wanted to take a cab but he
needed to move farther away from them first. He walked
past the hotel gate and walked several metres farther before
stopping to wait for a cab.
His phone began to ring while he waited, he took out his
phone and answered the call. 'What's up, I saw you walk out
of the place at the right time.' he said.
'Yes, that's true. But I didn't see you or the three guys,' Aisha
replied.
'I was there, our eyes met.'
'Huh? But I didn't see you,' she argued.
'Hmm... If you didn't see me, it means you've not been
practicing the tactics the boss taught us.' Cole said.
'Which tactic?'Aisha seemed lost.
'Never mind,' Cole said in a bid to change the topic and he
succeeded. The guys did not recognize you, I wouldn't have
recognized you either if you didn't tell me what time you
would appear at the gate.'
'Hehe...' she chuckled loudly and then with a serious tone
she continued. 'I'm on my way to Bolevian Garden to meet
Don.'
'I'm tracking you already, would be following closely.' Cole
replied. 'Make sure you don't forget to hide the mouthpiece
under your collar.'
'Sure, I've got the mouthpiece around the neck of my gown
already. I'll turn it on before entering into the garden.'
_______
Aisha opened the dial pad immediately after Cole's call
ended, she selected the boss' number and clicked the green
button.
'Boss, I'm on my way to meet him,' she said, taking in a deep
breath.
'Aisha, be careful and watchful.' Tarasha replied in an
unusual voice, full of concern.
'Yes Boss,' Aisha replied back firmly.
'Did you inject yourself with the correct mixture?' Tarasha
asked.
Aisha was surprised with the question, Tarasha had warned
them against forgetfulness and threatened not to remind
them to do anything she already instructed but here she was
reminding them again, just like a mother who cannot just
but keep warning her kids against impending danger.'
'Yes, I took the mixture thirty five minutes before I left the
house.'
'Good, be strong.' Tarasha said.
'Thanks Boss,' Aisha replied and the call ended. She smiled
briefly to herself as she returned the phone into her bag,
pondering on how Tarasha had changed from the totally
cruel assassin to one with a motherly heart.
She took a quick glance up and met with the taxi driver's
eyes in the rear mirror. It looked somehow familiar. She
kept staring at his face through the mirror and then the
sideview of his face which she could see from the back.
The taxi stopped at the wave of a man standing by the
roadside, the man joined Aisha at the backseat without any
negotiation with the driver.
He flashed his smoke stained teeth as he entered, Aisha
stared at him in horror.
'We had correct info man, she came with someone else.' the
driver of the cab said, flashing a look backwards. Aisha could
recognize him now. The driver was Don's longtime friend,
Stone, while the man who joined her at the back was
Stainless.
'She has a mouthpiece around the neck of her cloth, take it
off.' Stone said to Stainless. |
