harles’ team had
reached the harbor and was waiting in cover for the ship and Andrew to arrive.
Harry was on top of a near building and had set a sniper while other three were
hiding at the seaport. After an hour, the ship arrived with four Mexican boys
and a guard at the top with a rifle.
“I have locked on
the guard” Harry said.
“Let Andrew reach
first; we are going to catch them red-handed” Jennifer told the plan.
After some time, Andrew arrived in his car with a briefcase. All four boys came off the ship to receive money from Andrew.
[Antonio] “Hola mi amigo!”
[Andrew] “Hola, Hola, here is your money, give me
the delivery now”
[Miguel] “We’ll check dinero….money, first”
[Andrew] “Here, you can check it”
[Alejandro] “Buen coche mi amigo(chuckles)”
[Andrew] “What?”
[Alejandro] “Your car…bonito (makes hand sign for superb)”
[Miguel] “Nosotros somos buenos aqui”
[Antonio] “Luis, Trae los paquetes”
[Luis] “Si senor!”
[Miguel] “We are good with money; Luis is
bringing the packages”
[Andrew] “OK OK”
“On my count
Harry, kill the guard and we’ll ambush and arrest them” Jennifer ordered.
“Target locked,
waiting for your command” Harry replied.
“3….2….1….Fire!”
Jennifer gave the command.
Harry shot down
the guard and simultaneously others got out of their cover and aimed at all of
them. “Everybody freeze! Hands behind your head!” John shouted.
All were shocked
and started moving their hands up when Alejandro shouted, “Traidor!” and fired
at police officers with his pistol.
Jennifer, Sara and John suddenly got
cover while Andrew and Miguel went into his car and started running. Antonia
and Alejandro went back in the ship. Harry heard the fire, targeted Luis and
killed him with a headshot.
“You two, go
after Andrew, don’t let him get away at any cost! Harry’s coming down to help
me” Jennifer commanded.
John and Sara went after Andrew and
Miguel in the car, while Harry started running down from the building. Jennifer
gradually started moving towards the ship with silent steps. Suddenly Alejandro
came on the front and opened fire with his rifle. Jennifer took cover and
waited for him to finish his bullets, then she got out of the cover and shot
four bullets on Alejandro when he was reloading. He fell down on the ground and
got faint. Harry got out of the building and was running as fast as he can.
Jennifer started moving forward to enter the ship now.

Meanwhile in the hospital, the
person with hood got in Charles’ room. Charles suddenly looked for his gun but
then he remembered that he had given it to Harry earlier. “You’re the murderer,
aren’t you?” Charles questioned instantly.
The person finally uncovered his
head, it was a boy of about 25 years of age, smart and handsome. Then he
replied, “No need to panic Mr. Charles, and don’t accuse me of something you
can’t prove”
“Why are you
here? What do you want?” Charles asked again boldly.
“I want no harm,
if you allow me, I’ll tell you a story of past, story of William Grayson…” The
boy replied calmly.
Charles secretly
put his voice recorder on and said, “Sure, I would love to hear it”
“So, you must
have known by now that these 6 human-like animals killed William Grayson along
with his family” The boy started.
“Yeah, but who
are you?” asked Charles curiously.
“I have planned
to tell you that in the end but to ease your curiosity, let me tell you that
first. I am Leonard Grayson, but you better call me Leo” he replied
confidently.
“No, that’s….that’s
impossible. They said William didn’t have any siblings” Charles expressed his
shock.
“But have you
checked the records officer? William did have a 30 years younger brother” Leo
added more to his shock.
“Wait….Whatt???
30 years younger? Are you kidding me?” Charles got angry.
“I was going to
tell this in the end, then you won’t be shocked but you forced me to tell this
first, you can’t complain now” Leo replied while floating in the room on his
hoverboard.
“Ok, tell me the whole story, I’m listening” Charles agreed to hear the story silently.
*******
On the other hand, John and Sara were chasing down Andrew. John was driving as fast as he can and so did Andrew.
[Miguel] “Why did the policia come?”
[Andrew] “I don’t know! I was also as much surprised
as you are!”
[Miguel] “You must have a traidor in your socios”
[Andrew] “Do something amigo, fire at them”
“Sara, try to aim
at the wheels” John asked while driving at full speed.
Miguel came out
of the left window and started firing at them. John dodged and moved the car to
right then Sara aimed at the wheel and bursted it with single shot. Andrew’s
car started decelerating, Sara was aiming at the other wheel when Miguel hit
her on her arm. Sara’s gun fell down on the road. John pulled out his gun,
turned the car 90 degrees left, got face to face with Miguel when he was
reloading and shot him in his head and Miguel fell out dead of Andrew’s
decelerating car. Then John fired at the other two wheels which eventually
stopped Andrew’s car. Andrew didn’t have any weapon so he started running on
foot. John shot him in his leg from behind which made him fell on the road.
Sara’s arm was bleeding, John got a few glass pieces on his forehead when the
window broke by Miguel’s fire, Andrew was crying while holding his leg on the
road. John called the ambulance and some back up.
*******
“William was a pharmacist, a good
one, always following law, but after his marriage with Olivia, the girl he
loved, they found out that Olivia was sterile. That was the point where
everything changed for William. He wanted money and a lot of it for the
treatment of his wife. So, William grouped up with his high school fellas in a
heinous plan of manufacturing and supplying illegal narcotics under a legal
drug company license. Olivia’s treatment started; William continued with them
even though his inner self was continuously blaming him but her love for Olivia
made him do so. William was the most intelligent person I have ever known.
While working with these devils, he got to know that death would be the reward
for betraying them. Eventually, Olivia’s treatment completed and in November
1990, God gifted them with twins, Lilly and Leonard.
“William had already started
planning to leave the gang but he wanted to save his family after his confirmed
death. One mistake dad did while analyzing the extent of evilness in these
cold-blooded humans, he thought they would spare his wife, or if not, then his
daughter for sure. He was sure about my death so he played a move to save my
life, he told everyone about his baby girl, not twins and he registered me as
his father’s son in the legal records by using his contacts, that’s why I got
Grayson as my surname. He kept saving money for his family to use after his
death, for another four years. We all lived at our grandpa’s for a year after
my birth then they left me with grandpa and went to dad’s home. I was very
young to understand anything, I cried and cried but they didn’t take me with
them. They used to come on every weekend and that was my favorite time of week,
when I could play with my parents and Lilly. I didn’t know feelings then, love
or hate, hahah how would I even know, I was just around 18 months old but one
thing I knew that dad, mommy, Lilly and grandpa were my whole world.
“Time passed, I grew bigger and
started hating my parents as they didn’t let me stay and play with Lilly except
on weekends. I lived at grandpa’s, he was also very old but he played with me
whenever I was sad. After 4 years of my birth, dad left that heinous gang, then
they used to come more often to meet and even stay with us. That was the best
time of my life, with my family, with Lilly. I forgot the hate against my
parents and started loving them once again because I thought everything would
be good now, the bad time had passed but it was just my thought and wish, and
as all wishes don’t come true, that one also just remained a wish after a
month. Exactly 21 years from today, I lost everything right in front of my
eyes. Dad had told everything to the grandpa about his plan and what to do
after his death. I could have played a little more with Lilly if I knew it was
the last time. After the grandpa’s birthday party, my parents and Lilly were
going to their car to leave and I, as usual, went to my bedroom crying as I
used to hate to see them going. I was crying and secretly seeing them going
from my bedroom’s window. They were near the car when I saw the car exploding
with a blast. They were thrown away with force of blast and were injured,
bleeding but alive. I can’t forget that scene even today, I used to have
nightmares all these years. I rushed outside to help them but grandpa stopped
me when he saw these beasts coming with guns in their hands.
“Dad begged them to spare Olivia and
Lilly but they killed all of them heartlessly right in front of my eyes. Then
they threw the bodies in the burning car to make it look like an accident and
went away with evil laughters. Nothing remained the same after that day. I
became silent, that sight couldn’t get away from my eyes. I had many sleepless
nights after having nightmares. 10 years later, when I was mature enough to
understand, my grandpa told me everything about dad’s life and his plan. Then
after a year grandpa died leaving me alone in this world” Leo explained
everything comprehensively and got his eyes filled with tears on remembering
all that.
Charles was speechless, he was in a
state of deep shock because he could see that Leo was telling the truth. Then
Charles somehow managed to speak, “So you did all this to take your revenge?
But why did you come here?”
“Not at all. I
was, in fact I am too weak to take my revenge. I heard that police have
arrested my family’s murderers so I came to tell you the whole story and beg
you to get justice for my father. After so many years, a light of hope was seen
to get justice. That’s why I came to you” Leo replied emotionally.
“I don’t trust
you; you have every reason to take revenge. You killed their kids so that they
can feel the same pain of losing family as you did. And simultaneously, you
exposed their drug business so that they all can go to jail” Charles came to a
conclusion.
“Your choice
officer, I have posted the video of my whole story on every social media
platform before coming here. I will get justice with or without your help” Leo
announced his decision.
“OK so why did
you put flowers on our car and said sorry on CCTV camera?” Charles questioned
confidently.
“Ohh, that was
your car?, actually I hit that car with my bike in the day and no one saw me
but my inner self was blaming me, so I came back at night and put the flowers
and said sorry on the camera. If you had also seen the footage of daytime, you
wouldn’t have asked me this” Leo replied politely.
“There was a
greeting card in flowers with John’s and my name on it..” Charles was sure to
get him this time.
“I just put the
flowers; I don’t know about any card” Leo said innocently.
“Where are you
going?” Charles stopped Leo.
“To my apartment”
Leo turned back and continued, “You know Mr. Charles, the pain of losing
someone you love, forever, is greater than everything, I hope you never
experience that. Whenever I am in my room, I see my dad and he talks with me
but when I try to hug him, he disappears”
“I am really sorry about William; his murderers will be punished according to the law” Charles assured him and Leo left the room.
*******
Meanwhile, Jennifer silently entered
the ship, Alejandro was there, fainted on the ground in front of her. She
checked him to be alive or not. While she was getting up, Antonio came out from
a room on left side of Jennifer and opened fire at her. It was too sudden for
Jennifer to take cover but she managed to hit Antonio two bullets on his legs
while moving forward before she fell on the ground and died after getting five
bullets in her body including one in her head. While falling down, she saw her
dream once again in front of her eyes…Ben, Lucy, Charles and herself, a
complete happy family.
Harry heard the gunshots. He stopped for a second then ran inside the ship shouting, “Madam!!!”. Harry suddenly froze after seeing her dead body. He had guns in both his hands. On his right was fainted Alejandro and suddenly on his left, Antonio came crawling to kill him also. There was no one to stop Harry this time to express his frustration. Alejandro also got back in his senses and aimed at Harry. Before they both could fire, Harry screamed and put six bullets in each of them with his two guns simultaneously. Then he sat down with Jennifer(late) and started crying. John and Sara soon came with back up after getting first aid. They also started crying because there’s nothing they could do to bring her back.
*******
Charles
was informed about the success of their mission, the narcotics in the ship were
worth 200 Billion Pounds, he became very happy but John was not happy at all
who was telling the news. They all came to his room in the hospital and their
faces were not describing victory. Upon inquiry, Charles was told about
Jennifer’s death on the ship. They all hugged Charles to console him but
Charles couldn’t believe what he heard. He forgot what’s going on around, only
thing he could hear was his last conversation with Jenny then gradually all the
conversations he had with Jennifer came in his mind. He lost his love and
exactly when he thought that their family was going to complete. Then the words
of Leo echoed in Charles’ mind, “The pain of losing someone you love, forever,
is greater than everything” Then Charles realized the pain Leo felt 21 years
ago.
In the morning, Leo’s video was
trending on every social media platform and people were out for William’s
justice nationwide. In the next few days, the number of protestors kept
increasing and they were asking for just one thing…JUSTICE FOR WILLIAM…
All the alive members of evil gang confessed all their crimes and within a
week, all of them were sentenced to death by Supreme Court of UK, for all their
heinous crimes, by taking Sou Motu action under the influence of protests
across the country.
Another month passed, everything started going back to normal but some things could never be normal again as for Charles and Jennifer’s kids. Charles resigned from the Scotland Yard and started his own small business of transport with all his savings. Also, Charles took legal custody of Ben and Lucy and started taking care of them as their father. Harry and Sara got engaged and were destined to marry by the end of the year. John was promoted to Chief Inspector. Charles was sure that Leo had done those murders but there was no evidence to prove him guilty. So, the case of murders was closed after declaring them natural deaths. But this case had turned Charles, Harry, Sara, John, Ben and Lucy into a small family, not related by blood of course but connected through love and care.
*******
Leo was sitting on the famous London bridge and tears were running down on his face.
[Leo] “You’re right dad”
[William] “Why are you crying? You got justice for
me, your mommy and Lilly”
[Leo] “You’re right about the guilt. I
can’t bear it; I did everything for justice but then why can’t I be peaceful
now? I can’t forget these kids’ faces just before dying”
[William] “When a good man does a bad thing, it’s
the guilt of doing wrong that keeps up piling inside him. I am proud of you
that you got justice for us but to do that, you’ve done bad things. These were
innocents you killed in the fire of your revenge”
[Leo] “Now I understand why you always
kept stopping me. These kids had nothing to do with what their parents did. You
know dad, I always wanted to hug you one more time, play with Lilly one more
time, sleep in mommy’s lap one more time but now I think I will be able to do that
when I’ll join you”
In the noise of the city, where everyone was busy in his own routine and struggling with the challenges of life, no one heard the plop in the river under the bridge…
Peace can never be achieved by doing
wrong with people. Justice will eventually catch you one way or the other no
matter how clever or rich you are. Plans seeming to be flawless also have
unexpected endings and you can’t outrun things destiny has already decided for
you.
