“Are you fine Mr.
Andrew? You look quite shocked?” Sara questioned.
“No…No, it’s
nothing. I’m just shocked on my daughter’s death; it was too sudden you know”
Andrew stammered.
“Yeah, we’re very
sorry about that. I think we should come back later to ask you some questions”
Jennifer said sadly.
“No, No it’s OK.
you can ask whatever you want to know. I would like to help the police” Andrew
replied politely.
“OK if you’re
ready then tell us about Bella’s fear, I mean, had she any phobia?” Harry
started questioning.
“What? Yeah, she
was ophidiophobic, afraid of snakes I mean” Andrew said surprisingly.
The police officers looked each
other with disappointment. Then Jennifer asked the next question, “Do you
remember Flinch, Sophia, Oliver, Stella or Edison? These were with you in high
school”
Andrew
suddenly turned pale and started sweating then replied after thinking for a
moment, “Not exactly now as it had been a very long time since high school but
why? What happened?”
“Because their
kids were also murdered like Bella” Sara replied instantly.
“Ohh…so is it a serial
killer who’s killing kids of our whole batch in high school?” Andrew tried his
best to act normal but couldn’t control his sweating.
“Do you remember
something happened to all six of you in the past because of which someone is
doing that?” Harry tried to get Andrew speak.
“I am not good
with memory so can’t tell if anything happened or not in the past” Andrew
denied.
“Last thing we
wanna ask before leaving, what do you exactly do?” Jennifer asked.
“I am owner of a
local bar here in Maidenhead” Andrew replied hesitatingly.
“We’ll see you
soon Mr. Andrew” Harry gave the last remarks before leaving.

On the other hand, John was
constantly checking call recordings of Flinch as Charles said. Then suddenly
John found a number Flinch talked to, lately about drugs and delivery. He
turned out to be Albert. John traced his current location and informed Charles about
it. Charles asked Harry and others to help John in arresting Albert. The
location was almost in the middle of the London city. All four of them reached
the location. They all went inside the building to Albert’s apartment and were
ready to face anything unexpected. To their surprise, Albert was sleeping in
his bed and they arrested him without any trouble.
*******
On Charles’ order, all the parents
of victims in police custody were brought in his room along with Albert for
interrogation. Edison, Stella, Flinch and Albert were hand-cuffed and present
in Charles’ room with Charles’ whole team. All the prisoners were shocked to
see each other. Charles asked Sara to write the alphabets they got and
respective names of all the parents. Sara act accordingly and wrote them on the
board.
S Sophia
E Edison
A Andrew
O Oliver
F Flinch
S Stella
M ???
Edison, Stella and Flinch couldn’t
believe in their eyes and saw each other with sudden shock as Sara finished the
alphabets in the sequence.
“Now anyone of
you want to say something or should I start one by one?” Charles began with
anger.
Complete silence,
nobody was ready to answer.
“Fine then. Let’s
start with you Edison…The first one to lose his kid. Do you recognize any name
on the board?” Charles asked teasingly.
No answer.
“Oh, let me help
you more, also put their pictures with them John” Charles ordered John to put
their pictures as well on the board.
“Now, look at the
faces and tell me do you remember any of them?” Charles asked again.
Once again
complete silence.
“Jennifer, put
their group photo of high school also on the board, maybe that’ll help” Charles
ordered again.
Jennifer followed
the order.
“Now Edison, I’m
asking you for the last time, look at the board and speak” Charles roared with
frustration.
“We…we…were c..class
fellows in high school…” Edison murmured.
“Speak loudly!”
Charles shouted.
“We were class
fellows in high school” Edison repeated clearly.
“Why the murderer
killed your kids? Who is the murderer?” Charles put another question.
“I really don’t
know what the killer wants, trust me!” Edison replied instantly.
All other members
were silently enjoying Charles in action.
“OK, Dr. Stella,
why you lied last time?” Charles shifted to the next one.
“I was afraid, it
was a long time ago when I was with them, so I thought I shouldn’t say that I
know them” Stella replied innocently.
“Don’t you dare
talk that innocently. You’re the biggest culprit, you disrespected your
profession and instead of stopping people from drug abuse, you’re providing
them that” Charles became furious.
Once again pin
drop silence in the room.
“Fine, tell us
what’s your business to be exact?” Charles questioned.
“I can stay
quiet; my lawyer will talk in front of judge” Stella replied boldly.
“Coming to you Mr. Flinch….first of all nice
to see you again in the room you tried to shoot me” Charles shifted.
Harry and Sara
giggled on the back.
“Why did you
lie?” Charles continued.
“Stella’s right,
we have the right to stay quiet” Flinch replied confidently.
“Ok, an easy one,
who is M in these alphabets?” Charles asked nicely while controlling his
aggression.
“You can ask that
from my lawyer” Flinch became more confident.
Charles had been triggered a lot
now. He took his gun from the table while lying on his bed and explained them
the situation, “Let me tell you something, I am resigning from Scotland Yard,
this is my last case, so it’s better if you help me nicely otherwise things can
get a bit uneasy here”
“You can’t fool
me again, that’s empty I know” Flinch chuckled.
“Oh, you want me
to check it on you?” Charles aimed at Flinch.
“You can’t do
that officer” Stella spoke up instantly.
“Oh really?”
Charles said and fired between Stella and Flinch.
Everyone in the room got shocked and
most shocked were Flinch and Stella who saw death from a few inches away. Both
started sweating and panting.
“I told you it’s
my last case, and I don’t care if Scotland Yard kicks me out for killing some
drug dealers during interrogation after this case” Charles explained the
situation again.
“It isn’t M, it’s
W. it was our password for almost everything 20 years ago” Flinch finally spoke
up.
“You promised
Flinch, stop it” Edison interrupted.
“What promise,
huh? Can’t you see everything is over? Sophia and Oliver are dead and we are
either going to jail or directly to God by this psycho officer. I don’t care
about you but I would like to choose jail” Flinch got frustrated and emotional.
Edison sighed and
said with disappointment, “It was William, our partner more than 20 years ago
but then he betrayed us, so we all, six of us, decided to kill him and his
family so that he couldn’t blackmail us as he had all of our information”
After a moment of
shock and silence, Charles spoke up, “So someone is trying to take revenge who
knows about William”
“But why would
anyone kill their kids instead of them, after all they had killed William?”
Sara couldn’t stop herself from asking.
“That’s what I am
thinking Sara” Charles supported her question.
“I think it
depends on who else knows about William’s murder?” Harry took part in the
conversation.
“No one, we
killed his all family except his father who was very old then and also died
after some years. His old father didn’t even file a complaint of murder and
police reported it an accident just as we wanted” Stella also spoke up.
“Albert, you tell
us now…What do you know about this gang?” Charles turned to Albert.
Albert saw at Flinch and others who
were looking down with guilt and disappointment. Then he finally started
speaking, “They all have a drug manufacturing company in the outskirts of
London, a legal one but they are importing, manufacturing and supplying illegal
narcotics in whole country from the last many years. David, Jack, George and I are their managers
so that they don’t have to do anything directly. Stella and Flinch’s managers
died, in fact murdered last year. I investigated myself after their deaths and
found that these devils used to kill their every manager after three years, for
the last 20 years, themselves. I wanted money for my mother’s treatment so I
didn’t say a word and kept working to leave myself before the completion of my
three years”
Once again there
was a pause of shock in the room and this time a longer one before John asked
Albert, “You talked to Flinch about some delivery, what was that?”
No answer.
“Answer him!!!”
Charles shouted.
“The delivery of
narcotics is arriving tonight at London seaport from Tijuana, Mexico. One of us
has to be there to receive because it is the biggest order in 30 years” Albert
gave another shocking news.
“Andrew will
receive, it means” Jennifer suddenly spoke up.
“Harry and John, take
them back to the police station and come back quickly” Charles ordered. Both
acted accordingly.
“It’s a very big
case now. You all have to be very careful tonight” Charles began after Harry
and John came back.
“Don’t worry,
we’ll handle it” Sara responded.
“Go to the
seaport, stop the delivery, arrest Andrew and the ship’s crew red-handed but be
very careful because there could be Mexican men loaded with weapons” Charles
explained.
“We’ll call back
up if it turns out to be difficult for us” Harry reassured Charles about their
success.
“Here, take my
pistol with you Harry, you may need it tonight” Charles handed over his gun.
“BEST OF LUCK MY
TEAM!” Charles said the last words.
Everyone left the
room, Jennifer was leaving when Charles stopped him and said, “Take care Jenny!
We’re going to be together after this case”
“I love you
Charles Lane!” Jennifer said while holding his hand.
“I love you too
Jennifer Charles!” Charles replied and she left the room.

LONDON
12:15 AM
The black room was cleaned, no more
maps, pictures were on the wall anymore. The room was not dark either.
[Voice 1] “It’s the day everything started back
then”
[Voice 2] “You don’t have to go today”
[Voice 1] “I have to, I’ll finish everything today”
[Voice 2] “They all have felt the pain of losing
their loved ones”
[Voice 1] “But I want everyone to know what I had
been through my whole life and then decide themselves whether I am a villain or
a hero in the whole story”
[Voice 2] “Best of luck then!”
Charles was alone in his hospital
room and waiting for his team to report when the door opened and a person
wearing black hood, facing downwards came inside floating on a hoverboard. Then
the person turned the head up, Charles saw small bluish green eyes, wrinkled
forehead, small pointed nose, glowing white skin and a scar on chin.
