Tarasha 28 Happy New Year

*10am*

'Happy new year!' The president said on top of

voice as he ended his new year speech on

national TV. Benny switched off the TV at once.

'Why?' Cole asked him, referring to his sharp

flinging away of remote control.

'Why not?' Benny said as he got up from his

seat. He walked to Cole who was laying down

on the sofa and stretched his hand for a

handshake.

Cole sat up and took the surprising handshake,

looking to Benny for explanation.

'Happy new year' Benny finally said, 'we've

been to busy monitoring and plotting how to

drop Robin and James that we've forgotten to

congratulate ourselves on the new year'

Cole laughed out loud, 'happy new year man' he

stood up and engaged Benny in a brief hug.'You

know Robin is working tirelessly too' he said as

he sat back smiling, it felt good to get

emotional once in a while.

'Yea, I know but I think we have the advantage'

Benny sat close to him. 'He thinks that his

presence in Nigeria is only known to the police

force'

'That's true' Cole commented. He put up a

serious face as something went through his

mind. 'But how did boss get the information?

Am not aware we have any informant in the

police force'

'Hmm' Benny hummed almost silently.

'Happy new year guys' Aisha announced loudly,

interrupting their discourse as she walked in

with a tray of wine and gla.s.s cups.

She wore a sleeveless black top and a white

mini skirt. She dropped the tray on a short stool

in front of Benny, sorting out the cups and

pouring the drink into them.

Benny felt blood rush through his body faster as

he watched Aisha's mini skirt lift up at the

back, revealing her pant view. This was the only

year he hadn't celebrated the new year with a

girl on his bed, so he felt like grabbing her from

the back to have a quick one. His eyes met

Cole's who gave a short laughter, he quickly

took his gaze away.

'Is someone planning to get us high very early

in this new year?' Cole joked as Aisha turned

back handing the gla.s.ses to them.

'This won't get you high, I'm not aware that one

cup of alcohol gets men drunk' she replied and

dropped into the sofa they sat on, sitting in

their middle.

'D--n!' Benny cursed under his breath as a

bulge formed in his trousers on seeing Aisha's

exposed laps. He quickly repositioned himself

to avoid embarra.s.sment, Cole who knew his

plight gave out a slight smile. Benny wondered

why Aisha was having an effect on him, he had

seen her expose her body more than she did

now without feeling a thing, maybe it was

because of his recent longtime suppression of

his urge for s.e.x.

Something beeped loudly interrupting the jolly

mood of the three, Cole knew at once where

the sound came from. He dropped his gla.s.s and

headed towards the new computer room, Benny

and Aisha followed him with their gla.s.ses still in

their hands.

The new computer room was a big one but

almost empty as it was only set up temporarily,

all two computers were in it. Cole wished that

they could continue to use that house as their

office but the boss has said that it was only for

a short while.

'What's that?' Benny impatiently asked Cole

who was in control of the computer.

'Someone is trying to trap us' Cole smiled as he

said.

'What do you mean?'

'They're trying to locate us' Cole specified. He

turned and faced Benny, 'we need to go out

today and find somewhere we can receive our

visitors.'

'The command has been sent' Greg announced.

'Are you sure they would accept it?' Robin who

was sitting beside him asked.

James stood up from the chair he was seated

and moved closer to the computer. He took

care as he walked not to collide with anything

on the way. The room was poorly lit; the bulbs

were switched off and only the reflection from

the computer desktops screens provided the

faint lightning.

'The command I sent would look harmless to

them, I used the same proxy as they used so

they would not suspect anything' Greg

explained. 'They'll only think that their system

is malfunctioning'

'How soon are we expecting their reply?' Tony,

the third man on Robin's team asked. He was

the tallest in the team, he had a baby face

which made people take him for granted not

knowing that he was a specialist in nabbing

killers.

'It has delivered already, I believe they would

reply whenever they get the message' Greg

answered.

James had doubts in his mind as he thought

about their new discoveries. It wasn't that they

didn't have a good computer team in the

Nigerian police, in fact their team had been

ranked among the top five in the world. So he

wondered how Greg could have hopes of

locating where the bug directed signals to in

just two days, something that the Nigerian

police had worked on for weeks. He secretly

prayed and hoped that it was not a trap set by

the a.s.sa.s.sins.

Robin Kahn on his own was confident, his team

had never failed in handing a.s.sa.s.sination cases,

he trusted Greg to do the right thing. He also

couldn't but praise the Nigerian team secretly in

his heart, the progress his team had made so

far was based on the work the Nigerian officers

led by James had started. The US officers had

not even made much progress like the

Nigerians had done in the investigation. The

only thing he believed Nigeria needed was a

better Information technology and networking

team.

'It's time to prepare our guys, we would need

to attack very soon' Robin said getting up from

his seat. He turned to James, 'prepare ten of

your besst men' Robin said, stressing the word

'best' to lay emphasis.

Tarasha loved this game, it was her favorite.

She was going to see some policemen killed

very soon by Cole and Benny. She loved the

way guys were handling the situation.

Cole had called her earlier on to report their

progress, how that they were planning to lure

the police team by redirecting them to

somewhere else where an attack would be

launched on them.

She also been busy searching for information

about the new target too. She discovered that

the man being a former IG had a lot of officers

guarding him. They had two options; either to

deceive the man and bring him out of his

protection or go through his heavy security and

kill him. Anyway it was, what she knew was

that she and her team would be moving to

Abuja once the Robin's matter is taken care of.

Now she had someone to pay a surprise visit to.

She looked into the mirror to see if her makeup

was properly done, she released the band

holding her plaited hair together and allowed it

fall freely and cover her face. She stood up

from the bed to get a full view of herself; she

was dressed in a tomboy collared s.h.i.+rt and Jean

trousers, she added a black face cap to match

with her black boots. She paused for a while

after which she took out a small mask which

only covered her mouth and jaw region and also

added a dark eyegla.s.ses.

She didn't forget to take 'her baby' – the

Walther PPK – before driving out of the house

five minutes later. She headed for Gravl

avenue.

'Tell your guards to open the gate once they

spot a black Range Rover coming, I don't like

waiting outside' she said into the phone.
