Lisa was sure that someone was following them but she didn’t know what his motive was. She tapped on her mother’s shoulder and said, “Mom, we need to leave fast.” She was still gazing outside.
Unaware of all these, Linda Holmes replied casually, “Yes, yes. Let me pay the bill.”
Lisa was scared, and her uneasiness increased with every passing second. Her eyes wandered inside and outside of the shop. When Linda Holmes was done with the payment, Lisa held the bags, “Let’s go.”
She started walking in long strides. Linda Holmes was puzzled and almost ran to follow her. She asked, “What happened? Are you not feeling well?”
Lisa didn’t reply and kept walking speedily. Helpless, Linda Holmes held her arm to stop her, “Why are you behaving so weird?”
Daniel Brooke was stuck in an island resort with Jasmine Brown. Mr. Mayor owned that island, and the security sealed all the entry and exit points. There were no guests in the resort other than them. Jasmine Brown was spending time happily while Daniel Brooke was fidgety. He was waiting for a response from the private detective. Every hour he checked his mail, hoping that he would receive information from him. That night he finally received his email stating that Alex was drugged before his wrist was cut, but this was not mentioned in the post mortem report. The detective managed to dig out Alex’s corpse reexamined his body and found a trace of drugs in his system. The last few sentences of the email struck his mind like lightning. ‘I don’t find any clue against Mr. Mayor. I doubt he is not involved in this case. Someone is monitoring you closely. I will find him out in no time. Until then be careful.’
Lisa woke up after a few hours and looked around, but she didn’t find any trace of Carl Black. She panicked and the view of him walking away from her, holding a suitcase came alive in front of her eyes. Grabbing the towel, she wrapped it around her body and walked out of the room. She heard the humming of someone and looked down at the source of the sound, only to see him doing something in the kitchen. It seemed that his mood was good. Lisa’s lips curled up involuntarily and came back to the room. She went to the bathroom to freshen up. After taking a quick shower, she came out and changed her clothes. Last night she didn’t look around the area properly so she went to the balcony and looked outside. There were many tall trees in that area. The chir
Daniel Brooke threw the gun to Derek and said in his commanding tone, “Call the police and inform Albert’s whereabouts.” With that, he walked out of the house. Derek signaled his men to take care of everything and followed Daniel Brooke. That night the police went to the address that had been given by Kyle Kings, but Albert was nowhere to be found. All his belongings were left which proved his presence. However, before the police could reach him, he ran away. When Daniel Brooke learned about it, he got mad, “You all are useless. This was our golden chance to capture him. All these days he was right under our nose, but we failed to locate him, and now he managed to escape. Find him at any cost before he harms anyone.” He kicked hard on the sofa and cursed loudly, “Fu*
Turning off the shower, Daniel quickly came out of the bathroom and changed his cloth. Grabbing the car key, he rushed out of his penthouse and drove to the college. Half an hour later, he reached the college and headed to the department of Physics. He blocked the way of a young boy and asked “Hey… Can you show me Professor Black’s cabin?” The boy replied happily, “Sure. Follow me.” Daniel Brooke followed the young man quietly, inspecting the surroundings. He never thought that he would come to meet his arch-rival on his own. He wondered how Carl Black would react to see him. When he was lost in his thoughts, the boy said. “There is Professor Black’s cabin.” The boy stretched his arm and pointed his finger ah
Carl Black chuckled and looked at his mother, “Mom…” Holding her hand, he went to her room. On the other end, after showing all the rooms of the Black villa, Mack Black finally took Lisa to her bedroom, “And this is your bedroom. Go and rest. I hope bro will come in any minute.” Smiling, he waved at her and ushered her inside the room. When Lisa came in, various scenes started playing like a recording in her mind. All the scenes were entangled with each other, and she couldn’t make heads or tails of those. She walked towards the bed in reverie and saw her cry miserably. She felt a sharp pain in her heart, and her breathing quickened. Blinking continuously, she tried to remember what happened in the past.
Albert laughed loudly again, “You are smart, Daniel. Did you know why I called you?” He waited for a while but when he didn’t get any answer from Daniel Brooke, he began to say, “Because my men have abducted your beloved woman. And her husband also came following her. Now he is fighting with my man.” He laughed again loudly. Soon his expression changed into a monstrous look, “If you want her alive, come to the abandoned construction site of JK builders alone within an hour. If you delay or you try to trick me, you will lose her forever.” “Don’t touch her.” Daniel Brooke shouted impulsively. “Your problem is with me. She is innocent. Don’t do anything to her. I will come wherever you want.” “See you soon.” The call ended immed
On the other end, Daniel Brooke reached the location with Derek before the cops could reach them. Derek’s men spread everywhere in the area. There were many incomplete buildings. They have no idea in which building Albert was hiding. Suddenly a voice came out from Derek’s walkie-talkie, “Two men were seen on the rooftop of the last building to the right side.” “Got it,” Derek answered. They looked up at the last building and saw two men roaming around on the rooftop, inspecting the surroundings. They had guns in their hands. Derek looked at Daniel Brooke, “Now we should go ahead, avoiding their eyes.” Nodding, they approached carefully, hiding behind the stacks of bricks. They saw dozens of men guarding the building when they came
Bang… Bang… Another two more gunshots sounded loud back to back. Lisa shirked, closing her eyes. Silence swept in the room after that. She could only hear her rapidly beating heartbeat. Slowly she opened her eyes and looked up at Carl Black who was shielding her with his body. She asked in a shaky voice, “Are you alright?” He answered, “Yes, my love.” Thump... Meanwhile, they heard the dull sound of something falling on the floor. They turned to look, only to see Daniel Brooke lying on the floor. Blood was dripping down from his belly. He took the bullet for her. Albert was lying behind him, dead. Derek shot two bullets directly on his head. “Daniel…” Lisa shouted and rushed
