‘They also contain agreements with some Doctors, Pharmacists, retired officials of the NDLEA and NAFDAC.’

‘Some Doctors and Pharmacists?’ she asked with her brows raised, holding back the file.

‘Yes, you seem to take special interest in Dr Danjuma and his wife and that’s why I’m giving them to you.’

‘Alright.’ she said and took the file to her briefcase. ‘Tell me, what else do you know about the Danjumas?’

‘The Danjumas? I know nothing else about them except that they are doctors which have special records, Danjuma himself once submitted a research on wildlife and their similarities to humans in response to a particular stimulus while his wife Lydia worked with a team of Pharmacists to manufacture the cure for an epidemic.’
‘You know nothing else?’

‘Nothing else.’
‘What happened to their kids after the doctors were killed?’

‘I don’t have an idea. Elvis told me then that the plan was to wipe every one of them out, but I don’t know what they eventually did to them.’

‘Okay.’ Tarasha said and moved her gaze to the box. ‘What other things would be useful for me in there?’

‘You can now go with the whole box, they contain bottles and packs of some of the drugs, Chief Nonso recovered them years ago from Onwuli’s house after his death.’
‘Okay,’ she squatted again to look into the box.

‘Tarasha, why are you so interested in Dr Danjuma’s family?’ Chief Gab asked. The tone he used made it obvious he had kept the question in his mind for a long time.
She looked up at his face in silence for a while and then slowly got up. ‘Their case is one which can incite public sympathy, if it is presented together with these other proofs, we could inspire anger in the hearts of the masses and keep the Vice President under pressure. That could distract him and hasten his death which might not be taken grievous like it should by the public.’

‘That’s true. But there’s really no proof for his hands in the death of the doctors,’ Chief Gab said, looking up thoughtfully. He bent down and began to search through the files and documents he had removed for himself from the box. He took out a torn book whose size was lesser than an A4 sized paper. ‘This book is torn and incomplete, a part of it which isn’t here contains some documentation about Dr Danjuma and Dr Lydia.’

Tarasha collected the book being handed to her and looked keenly at it, it was a part of the book she got from the Senate President’s house; the one she read and she found how her parent’s death were planned.
‘Where can I find the other parts of the book?’ she asked, being sure that there had to be some other parts because the portion in her hand could not complete the one she had with her before. They had about fifty pages difference between them.

‘I think the Vice President has one and then the late Senate President, I’m not really sure of how many parts it was divided into.’
‘But the documents you gave to me, what do they contain?’

‘Those documents only contains the legal agreements and signatures which will prove that certain events occurred. But the events which occured can only be found in the other parts of this book,’ Chief Gab replied, pointing to the book in her hand as he mentioned the last word.

Tarasha stared up thoughtfully for a moment, then she kept her gaze on his face. ‘Were you not a part of the group?’

‘Yes, I was.’
‘So why should I need a book to retell the events when I have a living witness.’
‘Oh,’ Chief Gab let out his deep breath with his shoulders dropping. He didn’t expect that she would turn it around and wasn’t willing to tell her the stories with his mouth. ‘They’re somethings I would never say to you, I’m too ashamed to say them. But I’m sure you can find out so much in the book.’

‘I don’t need you to say much, I only need you to tell me what else I need to know about the Danjumas.’

‘I’ve told you already. There’s nothing else I know about the Danjumas’ private life or our involvement with them but there was a senior Doctor who carried out what we expected from Danjuma.’

Tarasha widened her eyes as she heard his last statement, ‘Is he still alive?’
‘Yes, he is alive.’

There was a sudden note of victory in her mind. If the senior Doctor was alive, it was all she needed to get the Vice President without struggles. She was a hundred percent sure it would work beautifully and that it could not be stopped by whatever the Vice President tries or even Rex.
But the enemies also had a plan to distract her, something else was coming her way.
