Rakesh had been murdered! No, that’s what I thought but when we went to our department, there we saw that there were no traces of big wounds or so but just a cut on his hand. His body was sent to post-mortem. His body was found near his house but not in his house. Body was found by our department members. According to them they were just passing by the street opposite to where Rakesh lived and they heard a screeching sound so, they went there and saw that he had tried to cut his veins so basically it was some kind of suicide. But they added another point, according to them the door was open and when they went inside nobody was there.

So, was he trying to run away if yes, then from whom, man that’s the biggest puzzle pounded my head. Harsh gave the CCTVs footage to my boss.

Boss- “what’s this?”

Harsh- “Sir, this is what we found in Fernandes cabin. According to this footage Robert was in the town 20 days back. This creates a possibility that he might be staying the town now also.”

Boss- “Then what are you doing slowpokes?? Move-move, go find Robert.”

I kicked off my car and then we went to hotels and guest house near Fernandes’ house. We checked every hotel but no hotel had ever seen this man nor his partners. But we did not lose hope we checked all the hotels and guest house in the town yet, none had seen Robert. With this failure we went back to the department.

That’s when my mind clicked and I drove my car towards.

Harsh – “Wait-wait!! Department is that side. Where are we going?”

Towards Rakesh’s apartment because I’m getting some bad vibes from there, that’s what I said.

I don’t know something was telling me that there is something wrong happening in that house. I reached in like 10 minutes and surprisingly the door was still open. We prowled towards Rakesh house with our gun fully loaded. As we were entering the hall my dumb friend made some noise which was a bit aloud that’s when I heard someone whispering bit loudly. I could make it out that there was someone in the room. We silently moved towards room with our guns in ready to shoot position. Harsh opened the door slowly but it was too late they had known that we were in the house, a bullet came towards Harsh and shot him on his leg. As I said it was too late, they made it, they escaped the room through the window. By the time entered the room they were gone. I tried to sneak through the window but as I said it was too late. But Robert was alive, lying in the corner of the room who had been shot in the stomach, it was too late.

I tried as much I could grab words from his brain but, I managed to get only 3 words. Which were not that clear but I managed to understand it. Then the first thing I did - I called the ambulance as Harsh was inordinately bleeding. I scanned the house as much as I could but I couldn’t find anything. By the time ambulance had arrived they took harsh with him. Then I called my boss

Sir, Robert is dead and also Harsh was under fire.

Boss- “where are you now? And who the heck shot him?”

‘Sir, I don’t know who shot him but I got some clue. Coming in 5 minutes sir.
