It's never been easy!! C6

 

“James, do you know something?” Sam asked by leaning on his shoulder. “Hmm...” James answered. “A small step in the right direction can turn to be the biggest step in life!” Sam said. “What is that small step you took?” James asked. By putting her hand into his, she said “You!” James kissed in her hand and put it close to his heart. “Sometimes doing a small thing can bring a meaning to our life, don’t they?” Sam asked. James doesn’t understood what she was telling. He gave her weird look and asked “When did you became a poet?” Sam gently slapped him and said, “Love you dummy!”

“I nearly forgot, what is that thing you wanted to say?” James asked. “I will tell you” Sam answered. “When will you going to say?” James asked. “When the time is right” Sam answered casually. “Like always! This is the third time remember” James raised his voice. Sam know how to make him calm. She rested her head in James’s lap and grabbed his hand to cover her from the cold.

James could sense something weird with Sam when she always left nothing to say about that thing but always attempt to say. After a long and lovely walk, James left her home with a goodbye in her checks though she wanted in her lips.

James came home but already Kevin and Amy were already there waiting for him.  

“James, it’s already been a month since the last victim” said Kevin.

“1. Jason Smith

 2. Agusts

          Still one more to go” said James.

“Just a minute Kevin,” James cut him off and took his phone call.

“What may be the killer is doing?” Kevin murmured to himself.

“Stuck up in loving” said James.

“What do you mean James?” Kevin asked. James showed his mobile and ignored him.

“Guys, What if?” Stella stopped in the middle. “What if?” Kevin asked Stella. “What if it’s already happened?” Stella finished what she had to say.

“James, I want to.” Sam said in the call but James interfered and said

“Sam, call you back!” James ended his call and asked, “What do you mean by that?”

“What if, it’s already happened and no one has reported it?” Stella questioned. “Then there will be no chance of knowing it” James replied.

“Exactly!” Stella said. “Do you think, David will be the one” Kevin asked. “Let’s go find out” James said. “Guys, who is this David and why did he came into this” Stella asked.

Kevin said,

“Few years back James and I were got caught up in a case which was nearly a nightmare.

And we were assigned as undercover to track down the mob. Jason smith, Agusts and David were the heads of the mob. At first we actually believed that they were just a smugglers but they weren’t. They were much more than that.

Smuggling was just their hobby like thing, they stole artifact and sold them in the black market.

They got caught easily which makes suspicious and triggered our curiosity to investigate more into them.”

“What did you guys find out?” Stella asked.

“To cover their core source of income” Kevin said.

“Which is?” Stella asked.

“Which is…” Kevin came to say but James interfered and changed the topic.

“Yet, we got a job to do, Don’t we?” James said.

Kevin knocked again and again at the door. Yet there was no response. Hence Kevin and James broke the door and entered in. Amy and Stella followed them in. As soon as they got in, a weird fetid smell threw them out. It was from the degrading corpse in the basement. James asked Kevin to report it to the team.

James and Kevin went in by using their handkerchief as a face mask and Amy and Stella started investigating the surroundings.

James and Kevin couldn't manage the strong smell of the corpse but somehow they did. They found that the corpse was missing its head. As the saw, they realized that there would be no chance of finding anything from the corpse because the three fourth of it was already degraded.

After recovering the residue and collecting the fingerprints all-around the place, they sealed the house.

In the evening James, Kevin and Amy gathered in the James’s study room for the case study. Usual Stella popped in from nowhere.

“Amy, anything?” James started the discussion. “You guys were right, it was David” Amy answered. “Anything else?” Kevin asked. “Apart from his identity, nothing else?” Amy said.

“It was the last victim, hence there will be something more” James said.

“How are you sure about that?” Kevin asked. “Don’t know but this shouldn’t end like this!” James said.

“Even after two victims, we haven't caught him right?" James asked. “Yes!” Stella said. "Then, he will be overwhelmed of his victory, right?” James asked. “May be!” Stella answered. “There would be something that was waiting for us to find” James said. “Are you sure?” Stella asked. “It’s time to get our hands dirty guys!” James said.

Kevin started tracing his last phone calls. Kevin was a one of the very talented hackers they had. Amy and Stella started reading the old case file to get any clues.

“James” Kevin called. “Hmm.” James answered. “The last call was from his mom, wait hold on second!” Kevin said and noticed something. “There was another call, exactly from his location but not from his mobile” Kevin said after tracing out the call. “Find out whom, he may be the one?” James asked.

Kevin called James as he found something. James cut him off to attend the Sam’s call.

James phone slipped from his hand as he saw the picture his Sam on screen.
