+++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 shivered. His
brain began to divert from his main purpose.
Just then, a lady hissed and pushed Tarasha
away from the entrance, rushing 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 shirt.
"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 shirt. "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, rushing 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.
