Tarasha 49 I Didn't See Anything

Henry remained sitting, waiting patiently for

Tarasha's return. He glanced at his wrist.w.a.tch,

it was over thirty minutes gone. He took a

look around the hall to see if he spot her

anywhere but he didn't. He had to take out his

phone as the presentations were already

looking boring to him because he was watching

alone.

For a minute after he took out the phone, the

phone underwent what seemed like endless

vibrations and beeping as different

notifications dropped in. He smiled, his phone

had located the four hidden cameras in the

hall and was showing them their location. He

looked at the locations provided by the app on

his phone to confirm the accuracy. It was

accurate as usual.

Maybe, he could connect to their servers and

find out Tarasha's location. A thought came

into his mind. He waved it off. That would

mean hacking into their systems and he hadn't

been given permission to do so, therefore, it

would be illegal.

His mind drifted back again to what happened

at the house before they left for the party. He

could remember the sweetness of her lips,

how he wished he could go further then and

how she cut it short by breaking away. He also

remembered how the driver had cut the

second chance short too. He smiled to

himself. He began to fantasize about her body,

his eyes pictured her thighs that were

revealed under the short gown. He closed his

eyes and took a deep breath as he pictured

himself holding her figure eight waist and

taking off her clothes gently.

'Hey! Young man' someone broke him away

from his thoughts.

His eyes popped open quickly and he found

Jubril Lawal standing in front of him. It

seemed like the man had been trying to get

his attention for a long time.

'Good evening sir. Happy birthday' Henry

quickly got up and greeted with a smile.

'Thank you young man' Jubril replied back with

a smile. 'Where's the young lady you were

seated with?'

'Sh… She went with a friend to the exhibition'

Henry stammered as he spoke.

'The exhibition?' Jubril squinted. He took a

look at the bodyguard who was with him and

whispered. 'I thought the exhibition ended a

long time' The guy nodded in confirmation.

'Yes, she went there' Henry replied, ignoring

what he heard Jubril whisper.

'Why didn't you go with her?' Jubril asked.

'I don't have a partner's card' Henry smiled.

Jubril frowned. 'You don't need a partner's

card to be part of the exhibition. You can

partic.i.p.ate as long as you have an invite to this

banquet'

Henry just stared in confusion, not knowing

what to say.

'Alright, tell her to see me once she returns'

Jubril said and made way to leave the table.

'I'll do that sir'

+++++

Benny straightened up himself and made way

to leave the restroom without disguising as

the blind man. He had to find out who was

watching him first.

He paused and looked around as he walked

out through the door. He saw several people

hanging around, it was hard to select anyone

as the suspect. He began to walk slowly, still

watching carefully in the process. He noticed a

man in the security uniform who was

previously engrossed with his phone look up

as he began moving. That was his prime

suspect. He was sure the man was the one

watching him.

But why? He couldn't figure out any

reasonable reason. Was it that the security

officials had began to suspect he and Tarasha's

movement? He wiped his face and continued,

proceeding to the spot where he and Tarasha

had gone their separate ways.

+++++

'Dare!' Evelyn screamed happily and jumped

on his body.

Dare was flabbergasted. He wasn't expecting

her to smile at him, talk more of a tight

embrace. He could feel her rub her frontal

region on him, his manhood s.h.i.+vered. His

brain began to divert from his main purpose.

Just then, a lady hissed and pushed Tarasha

away from the entrance, rus.h.i.+ng to the

restroom. Tarasha reasoned out that she was

really pressed and was the first person to

knock the door before Dare showed up. A man

dressed in different kind of security uniform

was standing with Dare. One could tell that he

worked with the cameras security with the

logo on his s.h.i.+rt.

'Why did you have to lock the main door?' The

man directed his question to Tarasha angrily.

'It's okay' Dare was the one who hushed him.

'I'm sorry' Tarasha said, she touched the

Bluetooth device on her ear. 'I'm not used to

this system and the music playing from my

device also did not let me hear the knocking

quickly'

The guy turned his face to Dare as if he was

waiting for orders. 'Go back to the security

room, tell your boss that I'll be with him in

some minutes.' The guy turned and left after

giving Tarasha another bad look.

'Oh!' Tarasha engaged Dare in another deep

hug again, this time she added a peck on his

lips. Dare who was a womanizer and s.e.x addict

himself quickly fell for the trick. 'Can we go

somewhere we can stay alone?' Tarasha asked

softly.

Dare nodded. 'Yes, there are free rooms

around'. He took Tarasha's hand in his and

began to lead the way. They pa.s.sed through

the entrance of the event hall where Benny

was standing and some other guests were still

socializing. Benny and Tarasha's eyes met and

communicated. Benny understood what she

told him with her eyes; to be patient and wait

for the next order.

+++++

'Blade, what's up?' Audu asked impatiently as

Blade walked into the security room.

'Where's the girl?' Afo added, stretching his

neck from his seat to see if anyone was

coming behind Blade.

'I don't know what's wrong with Dare' Blade

complained bitterly, unb.u.t.toning his security

uniform as he sank into the seat next to Audu.

'It seemed he's changed his mind about the

girl again'

'What?' Afo exclaimed. He got up from his seat

and turned back to face Blade.

'You gave him a seductive hug and he lost his

senses' Blade stated. 'I could see the bulge

formed on his trouser. They should be on the

way to a secret place now'

Audu stopped listening to Afo and Blade and

turned to the computer set in front of him. He

click on an app icon which processed and then

showed the cameras clips in the usual DVD

selection mode. His eyes did the searching

quick, he spotted the clip capturing them and

clicked on it. They were at the back of the hall,

chatting with Jubril Lawal.

Audu quickly got up from his seat and

straightened his s.h.i.+rt. 'Where are you heading

to?' Afo asked him.

'To talk some sense into Dare's head' Audu

spoke without pausing, be barge out of the

room.

Afo and Blade moved their focus to the

computer screen and watched Jubril speaking

with Dare and Evelyn who were holding hands.

++++

'Hey, see who we've got hanging out here'

Jubril Lawal approached them smiling.

'Dad' Dare paused.

'Good evening sir. Congratulations' Tarasha

greeted, taking his handshake.

'Thanks Miss Evelyn' Jubril smiled. 'I can see

you both are off to somewhere, I stop you but

make sure we meet and talk in the next thirty

minutes. The party won't span for long' Jubril

said and walked away to meet another guest

who was waiting for him. Tarasha and Dare

smiled at each other as they made way to

continue.

Dare's smile was of one who was itching to

sleep with his new catch while Tarasha, a

fatigue person eager to get rid of her trouble.

Another guy in security uniform b.u.mped into

them as they took two more steps. 'Dare, can

we see?' He said and without waiting pulled

Dare away to a reasonable distance.

Tarasha smiled, she knew what was going on.

She knew they would attempt an attack at the

party and she was prepared for them. She

glanced at her wrist.w.a.tch, her expected

package should be delivered in no less than

oneminute time. She looked around for any

sign of the deliverer, there was none yet.

–

'What that h.e.l.l is wrong with you?' Audu spoke

angrily, but making sure his voice was

lowered. 'You're disrupting our plans'

'That girl has dangerous plans, I tell you. Do

you want to say you believe that she doesn't

suspect you were behind the abduction?' Audu

asked and paused to wait for a reply. He got

none except for a pity look on Dare's face.

'How come is she acting like she's hungry for

you?'

Dare scratched his head. The hardness formed

under his trouser had begun to decline. He

suddenly remembered that he was going to

lead Evelyn into their trap before she gave

him a hug. He looked back and his eyes met

with Evelyn's, she gave him another seductive

smile. But he waved it off this time and

turned back to Evelyn.

'You're going to go back to her now and

pretend as if nothing happened' Audu

continued, raising his eyebrow. He took a

glance at Tarasha who had stopped a server

and was serving herself from the champagne

bottle on the tray. 'Bring her to us, we're

waiting' Audu concluded and walked away, in

the same direction he was headed for before

he met them. He was going to take another

route back to the security room.

Dare cleared his throat and tried to put on a

smile as he turned back. He hurried back to

Tarasha who was drinking from a champagne

gla.s.s and discussing with the server.

'Care for a cup?' Tarasha asked him.

'No, thanks' he refused with a smile as he

sized the b.u.m of the lady in the short server's

gown with his eyes. 'We better start going now'

Tarasha placed back the gla.s.s cup on the tray

and winked at the server as she followed

Dare. She could notice even though he tried to

cover up that his countenance had changed.

+++++

'Yeah, good. I trust Audu' Afo said with a smile

as he watched Audu speaking with Dare on the

screen.

'I hope he'll be able to talk some sense into

Mr Dare' Blade added.

'I'm sure he would' Afo rea.s.sured.

'Let's believe so' Blade said. They stared back

at the screen. Audu had finished talking with

Dare and was walking away. Dare paused and

took a deep breath before turning back and

walking to Evelyn. Evelyn was taking a drink

and discussing with the server. The server

turned and took her leave after Dare

dismissed her. Dare and Evelyn began

proceeded further.

'Audu, what's up' Afo spoke into his phone.

'Dare is on his way there with her, I'm also

returning now' Audu replied back.

'Okay' Afo said and ended the conversation.

'They're coming here, let's get ready' Afo said

to Blade.

Blade nodded without moving, it seemed like

he was lost in thought. 'Did you hear me?' Afo

stared at him.

'That drinks server…' Blade muttered, audible

enough for Afo to hear in the silent room.

'Yes, what about her?'

'Did you see the face gesture the girl made to

her before she left?' Blade asked, moving

closer to the computer, he held the mouse.

'I didn't see anything' Afo said and put down

the gun he was trying to load. He moved

closer to the desktop again. Blade was

rewinding the tapes.

'Here' Blade pointed at the screen. 'Can you

see her face' Blade paused at the point where

Tarasha made an eye signal to the girl who

took the champagne tray away.

'Can you take it back a little bit more?' Afo

requested with a serious look on his face.

Blade rewinding very slowly, making the tape

play in slow motion. It returned to the point

where Audu dragged Dare away from Evelyn

and she stood alone. Soon, she smiled and the

server appeared in her front, they began to

talk in low tones. The server could be seen

exchanging a small purse with Evelyn. Evelyn

tucked in the purse into the purse she was

holding before.

'D--n!' Afo slammed his hand on table. It was

clear now, the server came to hand over not

just a champagne wine but a weapon to

Evelyn.

'That girl is not ordinary, she has got her plans

and we must stop her' Afo said, rus.h.i.+ng back

to continue loading his gun. 'Find out where

she is now. I need to warn Dare and Audu' Afo

picked his phone and dialed.
